Zhao Er nodded and got up from the ground.

The two of them were sorting out the details of yesterday's construction.

Sometimes he sighed, sometimes he frowned, obviously immersed in doubts about this bizarre phenomenon.

"Lao Li, do you think you were too anxious yesterday?" Zhao Er suddenly said: "The concrete was poured too fast, and the quality will inevitably not be controlled."

"I can't say for sure." Li Changji shook his head and frowned deeper: "Besides, even if the pouring is fast and there are quality problems, the cracks will not be limited to a certain corner."

Zhao Er pondered for a moment and then said: "Is there something wrong with the proportion of cement? Is the mixing uneven, resulting in insufficient strength in certain places?"

Li Changji glanced sideways at Zhao Er and retorted with a sneer: "Do you think we are apprentices of the three-legged cat? The ingredients and mixing are all according to the rules. How could such a low-level mistake be made?"

At this time, Chu Ze's confidant Zhao Si was ordered to come to the construction site to inspect. He happened to hear everyone discussing: "Have you two finished talking?" Zhao Si interrupted the argument between the craftsmen, apprentices and others, and then turned to Zhao Erdao : "Just tell me what the reason is."

Zhao Er was startled, hemmed and hawed for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to speak: "Master Zhao, this subordinate has indeed never encountered such a situation. But...but..."

Li Changji also looked at Zhao Si in embarrassment, suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied stutteringly: "Zhao, Mr. Zhao, to be honest, Zhao Er, Li Si and I are also at a loss to deal with this situation. The whole situation Some parts of the cement foundation actually cracked overnight, which has never happened in our experience.”

After hearing this, Zhao Si nodded solemnly, glanced at the cracked foundation, and said solemnly: "It looks like it is indeed a troublesome thing." As he said this, he turned around and waved to several followers, and ordered them to go their own way. Stay and investigate to see if you can find any clues.

Seeing this, Zhao Er quickly winked at Li Changji, and the two of them joined the investigation.

They walked around the foundation and looked carefully, sometimes writing and drawing in notebooks, sometimes discussing in low voices.

For a time, the tense atmosphere at the scene finally calmed down.

After a long time, Zhao Si finally waved to stop everyone, and stared at the foundation carefully for a long time.

Just when everyone thought he was about to make a decision, he suddenly shook his head, turned around and walked away.

"Let's go back first. I have to report it to you in person." Zhao Si said without looking back.

Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to follow his footsteps and leave the construction site.

When he arrived at the government office, Zhao Si had returned to his previous calm demeanor and leisurely reported the matter to Chu Ze.

Within a moment, he led his followers and left in a hurry.

"What's going on? Even Master Zhao is helpless when something like this happens?" Li Changji muttered with a frown, obviously worried about the current situation.

"Just wait and think about it. There is still a long road ahead, and there will definitely be a turn for the better." Zhao Er comforted, but his eyes revealed a touch of melancholy.

Zhao Si hurried back to the government office where Chu Ze was located, with a look of nervousness and worry on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he reported urgently: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the cement foundation. There are cracks in the newly poured foundation."

Chu Ze frowned and looked solemnly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Crack?" He stood up slowly, walked to Zhao Si, and said with unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Elaborate."

Zhao Si reported everything that happened on the construction site to Chu Ze, from the process of foundation pouring to the panic of discovering cracks.

After hearing this, Chu Ze pondered for a moment, and suddenly he said with a look of realization on his face: "The weather has been dry these days, and the water in the mud cannot be released evenly, causing the cement to be too dry and causing cracks, which in turn causes the cement to shrink. This "Zhao Si, please go back to the construction site immediately and give me an order to water and maintain the cement foundation after work every day."

When Zhao Si heard this, he looked relieved and quickly accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will do it right away." After saying that, Zhao Si turned around and left quickly, hurried to the construction site.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the construction site remains tense.

Li Changji and Zhao Er were waiting anxiously for Zhao Si's return. They were both looking for the cause of the crack, but they still had no clue.

The workers also looked confused and didn't know what to do.

When Zhao Si returned to the construction site, people's eyes were focused on him.

He announced Chu Ze's order loudly, and a sound of relief suddenly sounded throughout the construction site.

Li Changji and Zhao Er looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.

Li Changji hurriedly thanked Zhao Si: "Thanks to Mr. Zhao, we now understand the reason." Zhao Si waved his hand and said calmly: "This is the wisdom of Prince Chu. We only need to act according to orders."

In the next few days, watering and maintenance work was strictly carried out on the construction site according to Chu Ze's instructions every day.

Over time, those worrisome cracks stopped growing and the newly poured foundation gradually stabilized.

The morale of the workers was also greatly boosted. They all sighed at Chu Ze's wisdom and said: "I didn't expect that such a simple method could solve a big problem." "Prince Chu is indeed an extraordinary person. He can even do this kind of thing." Easy to see through.”

Zhao Er wiped his sweat and said with admiration for Chu Ze in his heart: "This time I really saw the ability of Prince Chu. He can even deal with such seemingly unsolvable problems with ease." Li Changji couldn't help but sigh: " Yes, with Prince Chu here, the construction of our industrial zone will be smooth sailing."

In this way, the atmosphere at the construction site, which had fallen into a trough due to cracks in the cement foundation, was once again revitalized under Chu Ze's instructions.

More than a month later, the foundation of the entire industrial zone was finally laid.

When the last piece of cement foundation was completely solidified, the construction site was filled with joy.

The workers huddled together, shouting loudly, and some even burst into tears with excitement.

Zhao Er wiped his sweat and looked at the snow-white foundations in front of him, his heart filled with pride.

He turned his head and said to Li Changji: "This is really not easy. The foundation is finally laid!"

"The next step is the construction of the factory." Li Changji patted Zhao Er on the shoulder, his tone full of expectation.

The successful construction of the foundation of the industrial zone has brought unprecedented excitement and confidence to everyone.

The sun has just risen and the entire construction site is already a busy scene.

Li Changji, Zhao Er, Li Si and others stood on the foundation of the future factory building, looking at the busy scene in front of them, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at each other. (End of chapter)
