The construction of the bridge was gradually entering the middle stage. Lin Chen also noticed that while he was leading these soldiers to build the bridge, someone came to ask, "But General, if the bridge you built collapses again after it arrives, you will be fully responsible."

Lin Chen also thought that the pressure was too great. Although it was to build a bridge, it was also to repair the collapsed bridge.

Could it be that if it collapses again later, we should blame him?

In fact, Lin Chen couldn't tell when the bridge would collapse again. After all, accidents could happen once a flood occurs.

So Lin Chen thought about it and promised them, "At least in the next six months, the bridge will not collapse."

Lin Chen calculated that the next six months would be autumn and winter and there would be no floods.

After hearing this, these people felt a little bit of faith in their hearts, but they said to the soldiers, "But if the bridge you built is so useful, who pays you? You work for the government, is it the emperor who pays you, or who pays you?"

Hearing these people's questions, the soldiers also felt embarrassed. Originally, it was the princess who gave them these wages, and the emperor had no use for them at all.

So these soldiers thought about it and finally told the truth, "It was the princess who came here to build this. If the prince doesn't take care of it, our princess can't just sit there and do nothing."

The soldier also hoped that these people would remember that the person who helped them this time was the princess, so as to give her some confidence.

Furthermore, no matter what the princess did in the future, these people would remember it in their hearts, which would be a good thing for her to achieve success. Lin Chen did not want the princess's deeds to be forgotten, so these people wanted to laugh after hearing this, but they were talking to Lin Chen.

"But since the general is so worried that your princess won't be remembered, shouldn't we all get to know her and remember her well?"

Hearing him say this, Lin Chen was speechless. Originally, building a bridge had to be done when others were resisting. After all, the people had previously said that the collapsed bridge should be left to collapse, as no one would repair it anyway.

The people on the Crown Prince's side also felt that the bridge was actually no big deal. Furthermore, the Crown Prince had just been distrusted by the Emperor because of Su Zheng's incident, so he must be feeling resentful and wouldn't think of helping the people for the time being. Even so, the people felt that what Lin Chen was doing at this moment was a bit unnecessary.

Originally, this should have been a matter for the government, but it was handed over to a small retainer like Lin Chen, so Lin Chen was a little confused for a moment. Could it be that these people still remembered their identities and were not keen on building the bridge?

Lin Chen didn't care about what the people said. He just felt that there were too many problems with the bridges Lin Chen was building at this time.

And at this moment, Lin Chen could also feel that the people around him had some complaints.

Regardless of whether the bridge is finally built successfully, these soldiers will remember how much sweat they have put in at this moment.

The people walking in the crowd also saw them building and wanted to come over to help, but were stopped by Lin Chen.

However, these people were from outside the city, not the capital. People in the capital were somewhat superstitious about the construction of this bridge, thinking that it was a bridge where people had died, and it was not a good idea to repair it.

Despite this, the bridge will still take some time to complete. Now the construction site has reached the time to completely elevate the bridge because the foundation stones underground have been laid.

The sky in the distance also showed an orange-yellow sunset glow.

Someone passing by could see smoke rising from the capital city not far away. Many people were cooking, and many people were also building sheds in this place.

It seems that the families of these workers came here and wanted to help build the bridge.

These workers came from far away, so Lin Chen sent a letter to them before inviting them. Unexpectedly, they arrived relatively quickly.

Lin Chen knew that when he wrote the letter at this moment, it was the best reply to these family members.

But when he was halfway through writing, he found that his family members were coming over.

They came here specifically to find these workers and see how they were doing. After all, building a bridge is risky.

They thought that since the flood could even wash away the bridge, there must be something wrong.

Almost no one thinks that this bridge will bring benefits to everyone, and they all think it is a dispute over interests.

The families of those workers came here just to see how they were doing, and the workers who built the sheds here also felt that these families were really caring.

But they also have to tell their family that Lin Chen is the retainer under the princess and is actually very reliable.

However, Lin Chen didn't know how these family members would view the next steps. After all, one step was very difficult, requiring them to lift the stone from the water. If the stone fell, someone would die. That was why Lin Chen asked these family members to come over, so that they could see the scene and help.

Having said that, Lin Chen also knew that the process of this project was still very complicated, and it would be impossible to complete it without meticulousness.

The on-site processes are still proceeding step by step, and the families who have come here know that their workers are the backbone of bridge construction.

And when the bridge is successfully built, all of this will be recorded in history and will become Lin Chen's achievement.

Moreover, Lin Chen also said that he would give them enough reward money, so they were willing to come.

These family members all thought that if any accident happened, it would be a waste of time, but looking at the construction on site, it was relatively safe because the goods were transported over under Lin Chen's command, and the cement concrete was made on site and then poured on top.

The entire construction site was silent. Although no one knew when the goods would be cleared out, they all knew one thing: all the goods would be removed after the bridge was built. After all, leaving them there would block the way.

Lin Chen glanced at the people sitting next to him.

Seeing them playing there, Lin Chen felt a little speechless.

This is a construction site. If anything goes wrong, Lin Chen will be responsible.

So he led the soldiers forward a distance, put down the goods, and said to the onlookers, "If you are just here to watch, please stay away. I am afraid that the work here may hurt you."

After hearing this, the people walked away a little fearfully and finally stopped surrounding them.

Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. After all, these stones were very heavy to transport, and it would be bad if they hit someone.

After the people left, they were still whispering, "I didn't expect this to be such a big project."
