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

"Great!" All the craftsmen responded enthusiastically, all dreaming of following the prince to learn the skills of building palace gardens.

Soon, under the guidance of Chu Ze, the craftsmen ramped up the inside of the bend and built a small white concrete wall, adding a bit of beauty to this wide cement road.

"Well, this way the waterproofing and drainage can be greatly improved. It not only considers practicality, but also increases the beauty!" Chu Ze looked at the newly built retaining wall and was very satisfied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice! With you in charge, the quality of our project has improved a lot!" Lao Li said sincerely.

"Thank you for the award. Only by working together can we make progress." Chu Ze said modestly: "Actually, I only rely on my experience from watching on the wall. You craftsmen are the real masters of technology."

"Where is it? Your prince is well-informed and has given us a lot of valuable advice." Lao Li waved his hand quickly and said.

"Haha, okay, let's encourage each other! I believe that if we work together, this cement road will be built successfully!" Chu Ze said with a smile.

When the craftsmen saw Chu Ze's humble style, they admired him even more.

Everyone secretly made up their mind to build this cement road to perfection to repay Chu Ze's kindness.

Ten days later, with the joint efforts of everyone, this main cement road connecting the east and west cities was finally completed.

Chu Ze stood on the brand new road, looking at its white color and straight extension, feeling a sense of joy and accomplishment in his heart.

This spacious and flat cement avenue symbolizes the improvement of transportation and the progress of life.

It also indicates that a new Ming Dynasty is coming to people.

"All craftsmen, thank you for your hard work!" Chu Ze said sincerely: "This road marks another step forward for us to move towards a more brilliant future!"

"Hahaha! With your wise guidance, we can achieve today's results!" The craftsmen smiled happily and said modestly.

"Not only that, but also everyone's hard-working hands and perseverance, we finally completed this spacious avenue!" Chu Ze said with a smile: "Especially Master Li, from mixing cement to guiding apprentices, you are a great The backbone of this project!”

"Everywhere, I'm just trying my best." Lao Li said shyly, waving his hand.

"Okay, Lao Li, stop being so modest!" Chu Ze smiled and patted Lao Li on the shoulder and said, "With you taking charge, I can go about my business with peace of mind.

After the construction of the main road was successfully completed, Chu Ze decided to start transforming many narrow and dilapidated alleys in the city.

This will bring great convenience to ordinary people living in the old city.

In the early morning, Chu Ze took several craftsmen to the entrance of a small alley called "Zaojiao Alley" in the northwest corner of the city. They saw that the alley was dirty, narrow, and full of devastation.

"The flow of people here is usually not large, but it has a great impact on the lives of surrounding residents." Chu Ze pointed to the uneven stone roads in the alley and said: "We must give priority to transforming these small streets and alleys where people live, so that they can also Enjoy the benefits of cement roads as soon as possible.”

"Yes! I obey your orders, Your Majesty!" Several craftsmen stood at attention and replied, all of them in high spirits.

"Come on, let's clean up the dilapidated stone roads in this alley first, and then build a new cement floor." Chu Ze rolled up his sleeves and said enthusiastically.

"No problem! We have to complete the task quickly and let the residents in the alley use the new road as soon as possible." Lao Li took the lead and said.

"Be careful, don't damage the facades of the residents next to you when you peel off the stone slabs," Chu Ze reminded. "Understood, I'm going to tell a few young men to tear down the old road surface." Lao Li responded hurriedly.

"You are right, we must work carefully and not damage the residents' windows, doors, and roofs." A young craftsman also added: "After all, their daily lives depend on these houses, and we cannot cause trouble for them."

"Good boy, I am very happy to have a kind craftsman like you who cares about the people." Chu Ze praised with a smile.

So several craftsmen began to carefully dismantle the fragile stone pavement to prevent damage to residents' doors and windows.

Chu Ze also helped himself, skillfully using tools such as trowels and shovels.

"Oh, why is the prince doing the work by himself!" Lao Li hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"It doesn't matter, I also want to experience your hard work." Chu Ze said with a smile: "Besides, having more hands will make you faster."

"This... how can you, my lord, work so hard!" Lao Li quickly advised: "Let us craftsmen do it. Go and have a rest!"

"Don't stop me!" Chu Ze said with a smile: "I feel uncomfortable when I see you sweating so much while working! Let me join in and work together, so I feel at ease."

After hearing this, Lao Li burst into tears with excitement and said: "Your Majesty personally participated in our humble work, we are really grateful! This is definitely a great honor for us and other common people!"

"Okay, Lao Li, we work together regardless of high or low, we are a family." Chu Ze said softly: "I admire the simple and unpretentious character of your craftsmen the most, which reflects the ideal society in my mind. So, I also I want to integrate with you and experience the hardship and fun of work.”

"Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty. We will definitely live up to your expectations!" Lao Li wiped away his tears and was full of pride.

"Okay, okay, let's work together to repair this broken road!" Chu Ze comforted him with a smile.

When the craftsmen saw Chu Ze's leadership style, they admired him even more. They all exerted too much force and soon scraped away all the dilapidated stone paths in the alley.

"Oh, this road can finally get a new look!" an old lady said to her neighbor with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's really thanks to the kindness of Prince Chu!" Old Liu also said excitedly: "My family no longer has to stumble when going to the market!"

The two chatted and laughed happily, both looking forward to the change in their lives.

After the old road surface was cleared, several craftsmen quickly began to prepare cement concrete and pour the newly compacted solid roadbed.

"Be careful and don't leave any dead corners or gaps." Chu Ze instructed while helping to smooth the cement himself.

"Yes! We will carefully fill all the gaps to ensure the road is smooth!" the craftsmen responded repeatedly.

"The cement must be smoothed in time to avoid leaving traces after solidification. I'm here to help you. Two people per block will make the progress faster." Chu Ze distributed the tasks with a smile.

"Okay! With the prince taking command, our construction speed will be greatly improved!" Several craftsmen agreed with a smile.

With everyone's close cooperation, the cement road in this alley was quickly completed.

Chu Ze walked a few steps and said with a smile: "It feels very good! Your craftsmanship is really top-notch, turning this simple alley into a cement avenue!" (End of Chapter)
