Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Yes!" Zhao Si hurriedly responded and went out to convey the message.

After a while, dozens of well-dressed businessmen were seen filing into the hall and standing in two rows.

The leader, a weather-beaten old man, stepped forward and respectfully bowed his head to Chu Ze:
"A certain little citizen is here to see the prince. All the merchants are here to pay their respects. I don't know if I can interrupt you."

Seeing that the old man spoke and behaved politely, Chu Ze also stood up and returned the greeting."

The old businessman clasped his fists again and said: "I want to tell you, Your Majesty, we are all operators of various industries in Fengyang. I heard that the imperial court will speed up the reconstruction of roads in the city, but I am worried that the road closures during the construction will seriously affect our business. So I came to ask Your Majesty. “Excuse me, can you be a little more accommodating and not close all the roads to give us a chance to survive?”

After speaking, the other businessmen also agreed, and they all looked sincere.

After hearing this, Chu Ze felt very embarrassed.

He understands the concerns of businesses, but road reconstruction is urgent.

How should I balance the interests of all parties and get the people to support this move?

"Everyone, take a seat first." Chu Ze raised his hand to stop the businessmen from lamenting and said: "I understand your difficulties. Road reconstruction may have an impact on current business, but in the long run, the new cement pavement will also bring benefits to businesses. More convenience. Allow me to talk more about this and together we can find the best of both worlds.”

After hearing this, all the businessmen took their seats quietly.

Seeing that the atmosphere had turned peaceful, Chu Ze sat down again and said with a smile:

"Everyone, the purpose of our road reconstruction is to better serve the people. The spacious cement pavement will greatly improve transportation efficiency and reduce merchants' freight costs. Standardized sidewalks will also make it easier for pedestrians to enter and exit stores, which will definitely stimulate purchasing power and drive All walks of life are developing rapidly. I understand the difficulties you are facing, but I believe that the new road will make business more prosperous in the long run.”

The businessmen listened to Chu Ze's patient explanation and gradually understood the significance of this ambitious project in excitement.

"Prince Chu is right!" A young businessman first said: "We are short-sighted and only see immediate benefits and ignore the overall situation!"

"Yes! The new road will indeed bring great progress to our business." Other businessmen also agreed.

The leader of the old man stepped forward excitedly, kowtowed to Chu Ze repeatedly and said: "Thank you, Lord Chu, for not caring about our unreasonable troubles and enlightening us! We just focused on ourselves and failed to look at the overall situation. Please show us your wisdom, we will never complain at all!"

Seeing the change in attitude of the businessmen, Chu Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knows that there will be difficulties on the road to promoting reform, but as long as we put the people at the center, we will be able to resolve all kinds of misunderstandings.

"Gentlemen, I understand your difficulties." Chu Ze waved his hand for the businessman to stand up, and said with a smile: "During the construction period, we will adopt a phased and batch method, and inform the specific date in advance to minimize the impact. After the project is completed, I will also We will hold a grand celebration banquet and be sure to invite you all to share the joy of this historic progress!”

"Thank you, Lord Chu, for your understanding! We will definitely cooperate fully with the project! We also look forward to attending the prince's banquet!" All the businessmen expressed their gratitude.

At this time, Chu Ze's face was filled with a joyful smile.

He knows that the support of the people is the cornerstone of the success of any great undertaking.

As long as you communicate sincerely, you can resolve all kinds of doubts. The people are the meaning of our efforts, and these constructions are for their happiness and well-being.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.

I will definitely build an unprecedented cement road network for the people and change their destiny with high-quality transportation!

This is not only an improvement in the city, but also an important step in leading the Ming Dynasty into a glorious new era.

History has given me a grand mission, and I will live up to it and use wisdom and diligence to create a new era of glory!
Fengyang road reconstruction is finally about to begin. The roads to be reconstructed have been sealed off. People living in the reconstruction area can only travel along small paths at the door.

Large quantities of sand, gravel and cement were transported to the reconstruction area.

Lao Li, who was carrying cement, was sweating profusely and said to himself: "This cement is really heavy. My back is almost broken when I load bags of cement into the car. But this is for road construction. No matter how hard it is, it’s worth it!”

The pony carrying the sand and gravel also took over and said: "Yes, Master, although it is hard work, when I think that the newly repaired road can make everyone travel more convenient, I immediately get excited! Let's work harder and complete the task as soon as possible!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both drawing motivation from the hard work.

At this time, Lao Liu, who lives in the renovation area, opened the door and couldn't help frowning: "Oh, why is the path at the door blocked? Isn't it troublesome to go out?"

Zhao Si, who was watching the construction on the side, quickly came over and explained: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, this path will also be renovated and it will be passable soon. You can go around the alley for now and we will speed up the construction." progress, and traffic will be restored as soon as possible.”

Although Lao Liu was not very happy after hearing this, he understood that this was for the convenience of the follow-up, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "Okay, it's just for these few days anyway. You workers must hurry up, we ordinary people still rely on this to get in and out!"

Zhao Si quickly assured: "Don't worry! We will keep the renovation period very short, and we will also inform you of the reopening time in advance. This is for everyone's convenience, and we ask for your understanding."

Lao Liu then walked away with a groan, muttering as he walked: "When the road is repaired, it must be smoother, so that the inconvenience we have suffered these days is not in vain!"

Zhao Si looked at Lao Liu's back and thought to himself: "The people can understand the inconvenience during this period, so we must speed up the work and complete it as soon as possible so that everyone can feel at ease!"

At this time, Lao Wang from the construction team also came over to report: "Captain Zhao Si, the earthwork work on the first section of the road base has been completed, and cement pouring can begin!"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Si encouraged: "With good grassroots work, the above processes will be much smoother. Everyone, keep working hard and be sure to complete the task according to quality and quantity!"

"Yes! We will go all out to make the construction of this road of high quality!" Lao Wang assured, patting his chest.

They all saw firm confidence on each other's faces.

At this time, Chu Ze also came to the construction site to check the progress.

"Your Majesty, the first section of road infrastructure work has been completed, and the cement surface layer can be poured soon." Zhao Si reported respectfully.

"Very good, the progress is good!" Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, and seeing the hard work of the craftsmen, he couldn't help but praise: "Thank you for your hard work! After this new road is built, it will greatly improve people's travel. You are the creators Pioneer of a better life!" (End of chapter)
