After hearing what Duan Lun said, Li Min directly rejected it.
"Wending the road is not feasible, but I have a new way."
"any solution?"
"Build a viaduct! Let cars drive in the sky!"
Viaducts can span deep ravines in place of bridges with high embankments, and bridges span roads in urban bridges, supported by tall supporting towers or pillars.
There are many ways to build it.
There are channel beams, plate beams, and box beams.
Each has its advantages.
Of course there is no best, only more suitable.
"What is the purpose of this viaduct?" Duan Lun asked at this time.
Li Min slowly said: "There are three points, please listen carefully."
"Yes, sir."
"The first point is to relieve the traffic pressure in the city. Because the current roads are fixed, it is very difficult to change the width of the road. But if you build a bridge high in the sky, the result will be different.
With viaducts, it can play a very important role in urban planning patterns.
With it, urban space resources can be used more effectively, allowing different vehicles to drive smoothly in different road environments. The cars above cannot affect the cars below, and the cars below, because of the viaduct, further reduce
Conflicts between vehicles improve the driving efficiency of vehicles on the road.
At the same time, building viaducts can separate vehicles and pedestrians, which will help reduce the mutual interference between vehicles and pedestrians. In this way, pedestrians will be safer.
For cars, there is no need to be slowed down by pedestrians.”
When Duan Lun heard this, he nodded involuntarily.
"On this point, what you said is so right. Having a viaduct can indeed solve this problem. What about the second point?"
"Taking Chang'an as an example, of course, if other places are properly planned before they are built as cities, they don't need to use viaducts."
"Yes, sir."
"Due to the development of Chang'an City, the cost of land is getting higher and higher. If you simply want to widen the road, you will have to pay more costs, and the results obtained will not be good. It is possible that after paying a lot of costs,
All you get is one more lane, which really has little impact on the trafficability. Therefore, secondly, viaducts can save land costs for road construction."
"Yes, that's what sir said."
Since land resources in urban areas are very expensive, building viaducts can save valuable land resources to a great extent. Compared with ground transportation channels, viaducts occupy a smaller area and make full use of vertical space, which can effectively alleviate land pressure.
"Third, it is to change the layout of the city! The viaduct itself has a very important feature, that is, there are few exits. Therefore, the viaduct can be used to connect the urban area and the urban functional area, shortening the time distance between the urban area and the urban functional area.
This will drive the rapid development of the city, and at the same time, it can also quickly promote the development and utilization of the city's peripheral economic zones."
"This is really unexpected, sir."
Regarding this point, Duan Lun said he had not thought of it.
"Fourth, the rise and establishment of viaducts has changed the living patterns and structures of urban residents to a great extent, thereby driving the growth of the urban economy to a certain extent and improving people's material lives."
The last point is a bit vague, but it is also a very important point.
"To sum up, viaducts have many benefits.
It can indeed save land costs. Compared with ground transportation channels, viaducts occupy a smaller area, make full use of vertical space, and can effectively alleviate land pressure.
Moreover, it is not affected by urban underground facilities. The construction of viaducts can avoid interference and damage to these underground facilities, protect the integrity of urban underground infrastructure, and reduce construction risks and maintenance costs.
Relatively low economic construction cost. The structure of the viaduct is relatively simple, does not require large-scale civil engineering and underground excavation, and the construction period is short, which can greatly reduce the capital investment required for construction.
Moreover, the viaduct has a large space for use, which can accommodate more traffic flow and improve road capacity, thus alleviating traffic congestion problems.
It also improves social benefits. At the same time, viaducts can also improve environmental quality, reduce exhaust emissions caused by vehicle congestion, reduce noise pollution, and improve residents’ quality of life.”
After saying so much, Duan Lun kept nodding his head.
“So can Shengtang Group build the viaduct?”
Coming to the point.
Li Min's reply was naturally: "Of course."
"What about the construction period? Will it have any impact on our roads?" Duan Lun asked again.
Li Min replied: "There will definitely be an impact. But if we do it, we will have the smallest impact."
"How to do it?"
"Make the bridge piers in advance and pour the bridge in pieces. Once the bridge piers are ready, you just need to put the bridge up and it's done. It's faster than building a road.
Moreover, the location and time of impact are not large.”
"How fast?"
"For a road with a width of 10-0 meters, one kilometer will take a month. If it is smaller, about ten kilometers, it will usually take about three months. If it is very long, it may take one or two years.
But because the viaduct can be constructed in sections, the time will be shorter. According to the construction team from our Shengtang Group, one kilometer can be completed in one month."
Because there are many people, and the bridge has been completed beforehand, it can be assembled directly after the piers are poured. The main reason is that the cement will take a little longer to solidify.
Other installation times are very short.
This kind of project can only be carried out by the Shengtang Group, not even the imperial court.
"What about the cost?" Duan Lun asked again.
This must be asked, otherwise it won't work.
"The cost is about half that of a road."
Duan Lun was shocked when he heard this.
Isn’t this too cheap?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Li Min said: "I can only give you a rough idea of this. The specifics depend on the difficulty. The difficulty is different, and the price is different. This is different."
It’s a matter of comprehensive consideration.”
"Yes, what sir said is absolutely true!" Duan Lun said quickly.
Now he couldn't wait to go back to the palace and talk to Li Shimin about the viaduct.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"No, no, I will go back and talk to His Majesty now to see what we should do!"
"Go ahead."
"Sir, I'll leave first!"
So Duan Lun left the Tang Tower and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.
After going to Tai Chi Palace, the entire Tang Dynasty is probably going to undergo another change.
This is a good thing, and it is another opportunity for Datang.
Li Shimin was also waiting for news about Duan Lun in the palace.
He also asked the people around him.
"Has Duan Lun come back?"
"His Majesty the Minister has not returned yet."
"Okay, if he comes back, tell me, I want to take a rest!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
But when Li Shimin was about to turn around and take a rest, Duan Lun came back in a hurry.
When he saw Li Shimin was leaving, he quickly stepped forward.
"His Majesty!"
Li Shimin turned around and saw Duan Lun.
"Why are you back? It's been so long!"
He said with some dissatisfaction.
Duan Lun has been gone for too long.
Li Shimin was very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, I am going to see the Sixth Prince. He has given me some advice!"
Duan Lun said so.
"What's your opinion?"
"One is to restrict vehicles without changing the road, but I think that will only affect the economic development of the entire Datang Dynasty, so I won't talk about it. What I'm going to talk about next is very
It’s wonderful, Your Majesty must listen.”
Li Shimin frowned and wanted to say, then you should tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know?
This procrastination is nothing!
"Say it quickly!"
"Yes, that means building viaducts and elevated roads!"
"What?" Li Shimin was shocked.
what is that.
"It means building a road in the air. Just like our bridge." Duan Lun added.
"Oh, this is quite magical!" Li Shimin was attracted.
This method is indeed magical.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Then tell me what benefits it has. If the benefits are not big, then there is no point in building it!"
"Yes, there are five main points." Duan Lun himself also summarized the five benefits.
"explain!"
"First, because it is in the air, it can save land costs. This means that there is no need to expand on the road, and there is no need to use already built buildings. Otherwise, how many buildings will be affected by this road.
And the current real estate is so expensive, the court may not be able to afford such a huge expense! Building viaducts can also save precious land resources to a great extent. It is like building a subway underground. In this way, our problem will be
solved!"
"On this first point, we do have enough understanding to build viaducts."
Li Shimin said.
"Second point, because in the past few years, we have buried a lot of pipes and cables underground. If we build roads on a larger scale, these things will inevitably be affected, increasing risks and maintenance costs!"
"Third point, viaducts are very cheap and can save a lot of economic construction costs. Because the structure of viaducts is relatively simple, it does not require large-scale civil engineering and underground excavation, and the construction period is short, which can significantly reduce the capital investment required for construction.
"
"How much does it cost?" Li Shimin asked.
"The Sixth Prince said that it only takes about half of the road, but he didn't say how much, but I believe that the viaduct is better than the road!"
"What about point four?"
"The fourth point is that with viaducts, road traffic capacity can be improved, thereby alleviating traffic congestion problems. In addition, viaducts can also provide diversified functional spaces for the city, such as setting up parks, walking trails, etc., activating urban space and increasing the number of people.
leisure and entertainment venues.”
Li Shimin really didn't expect this.
This is actually possible.
"Fifth, improve social benefits: Viaduct construction can improve urban traffic mobility, reduce the impact of traffic congestion on citizens' lives and economic activities, improve traffic efficiency, and promote economic development. Reducing noise pollution can also improve people's quality of life!
"
Li Shimin fell silent.
At this time, his heart was already in turmoil.
This is what he wants.
Then with the viaduct, the economy will reach a higher level in the future.
At this time, his heart was filled with excitement.
But on the surface he said: "Let's talk to him again, see how much money is needed, and try to lower the price as much as possible. This is beneficial to people's livelihood. I believe this is also a good idea for Shengtang Group."
A good thing."
Li Shimin said very shamelessly.
I also want Li Min to lower the price.
But in fact, it was impossible for Li Min to surrender.
This is not the first time this has happened.
But Li Shimin still thought that it was possible.
However, at this time, Di Renjie called.
Duan Lun didn't dare to pick it up.
But Li Shimin said: "Whose?"
"It's Di Renjie's call," Duan Lun said.
"catch!"
"yes!"
So Duan Lun answered the phone.
Di Renjie's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Duan Lun!"
"What's the matter?"
"How are you doing now about the viaduct?"
"We are applying to His Majesty!"
"Okay, you'd better hurry up and sign it as soon as possible if you can, because my husband and I are leaving Chang'an for other places."
Di Renjie said this.
Duan Lun's heart skipped a beat.
"What should I do?"
"So you have to hurry up, we'll leave at night! Otherwise, we may have to wait ten days and a half."
Di Renjie said this.
"This...that's good!"
If this is the case, then it seems there is no need to talk about it.
When Duan Lun hung up the phone, he saw Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Go to him and ask how much it is. If it's really half the road, just sign it."
Li Shimin said this.
There was nothing he could do.
If Li Min is allowed to run away, who knows how long it will take for this to happen.
And this time Di Renjie is also with us, which makes it even more suspenseful.
Therefore, Li Shimin said this.
Relenting on Li Shimin.
Duan Lun immediately expressed his understanding.
"Yes, I will go find the Sixth Prince now!"
"Go ahead and do this quickly!"
So Duan Lun left the palace again.
This back and forth made him very tired.
Li Shimin really knows how to torment people.
In fact, Li Min didn't make much money from the court. They thought it was expensive and they thought he had earned their money.
In fact, there is no need for Shengtang Group to make money from them.
This is a fact.
After Duan Lun arrived at Shengtang Group, Li Min was about to leave.
In the end, it was due to Duan Lun's pleading that Li Min agreed to stay.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"Sir, can we sign the contract? This is what we have decided. As long as the cost does not exceed half of the road, that's fine."
Duan Lun didn't want to talk anymore, and there was no need to talk.
It's such a waste of time to do this kind of thing over and over again.
Time was wasted, but things were not done well. It was the people and the Tang Dynasty who suffered.
Therefore, he directly made his own decision.
"Okay, I would say about half, but it will definitely not exceed too much. If it exceeds, Shengtang Group will take the blame!"
“So great!”
"You stay here, I'll let Wei Zheng sign it with you. I have to go outside now."
