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

Chapter 844 The iron cock is rusty

"It's great to build a new building with cement. You don't have to worry about being washed away by water. Why not build it?" Zuo Chong felt very regretful when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "Is there a shortage of money? How much is the shortage? Let's pay."

It's rare that Zuo Chong, who doesn't spend a dime, can be so generous.

Chu Ze turned his head in surprise and joked: "Is the iron cock rusty?"

Otherwise, how could the rust be exposed from the hands?

Zuo Chong glared at him angrily.

"What are you talking about? We are doing this for the benefit of the people."

Zuo Chong spoke righteously and strictly.

But Chu Ze didn't believe a word of it.

From what he knew about Zuo Chong, he was a typical person who didn't want to be early for anything.

There is no benefit at all, but you still want to take money from him?

Dreams are more realistic than this.

unless……

Chu Ze thought quickly and figured out the joints in an instant.

Zuo Chong wanted to help himself get the imperial business.

An ancient building that can get Yu Min's attention must be very popular.

It doesn’t matter whether Zhu Yuanzhang pays attention to it or not.

As long as he contributes the money, his name will be listed in the investor column, and Yu Min will definitely report the matter.

Didn't he just show his face in front of Zhu Yuanzhang again?

With three buffs, I can't get that "monster" no matter what.

After Chu Ze figured this out, the look in Zuo Chong's eyes changed a bit, with a hint of knowing ridicule and teasing.

Zuo Chong felt slightly embarrassed when he saw him.

But only slightly.

Isn’t there an old saying: If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth?

What's more, what he did was good for the country and the people.

God should reward him.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chong suddenly felt confident.

He straightened his back, looked back confidently, and grinned at Chu Ze.

Yu Min didn't know about this, but when he saw Zuo Chong being so generous with his wealth, he immediately smiled.

He bypassed Chu Ze and walked to Zuo Chong's house. He happily handed over to Zuo Chong: "Then we will be disrespectful. Mr. Zuo, you don't know how difficult it is for us now. We have no money and no supplies now. In a few days God, we have to stop work."

"Why did the work stop?" Chu Ze was surprised.

Zuo Chong didn't believe it either.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, pointing to the busy workers not far away and the carts carrying materials that kept coming and going, and said with a smile: "Master Yu's complaints are inappropriate, and they are all revealing."

Chu Ze followed Zuo Chong's hand and turned his head to look at Yu Min with a smile.

Yu Min: "..."

"You two, why do we need to use this to complain?" A wry smile flashed across Yu Min's face, and he sighed helplessly, "What we are using now are all stock materials, and there is not much left. Let's let the person in charge take care of it. , insist on it for five days at most. After five days, even if we don’t want to stop work, we have to stop work. Everything I say is true. If you don’t believe it, please follow me and see if what I say is true. "

As he spoke, Yu Min was about to change his path.

Chu Ze and Zuo Chong looked at each other and did not refuse.

Just let them go and see what is going on.

Not long after walking, they appeared at the stockyard.

Here, they covered the cement and steel with tarpaulin, and piled many stones and other materials next to it.

Just looking here, there are indeed a lot of them.

As Yu Min said, it will not be a problem if it takes four or five days.

But when he saw this, a strange feeling flashed in Chu Ze's heart. He turned around, glanced behind him, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled after a moment.

This Lord Yu is so true.

Chu Ze didn't even know what to say about him. Yu Min led them inside.

Chu Ze followed him, his expression not as serious as before.

There was a sense of relaxation in the whole person.

But he listened carefully to every word Yu Min said.

Zuo Chong followed Yu Min around the stockyard.

Yu Min said: "Master Yu, Your Majesty, we are not afraid to be honest. In fact, these things will be enough at the beginning. If the materials can be continuously sent here, with our current progress, we can completely make it in half a year. Replace all roads in the city with cement roads.”

Because there are so many of them.

As long as there is money, they can have as many people as they want.

With enough manpower, the speed cannot be slowed down.

"But that's where the problem lies." Yu Min sighed heavily, glanced at Chu Ze with narrowed eyes, then quickly took it back, and continued, "The prince probably doesn't know about this, but Mr. Zuo must have heard that a few days ago, a part of the official road to Yingtian collapsed. Only pedestrians on both sides could barely pass, and neither horses nor carriages could pass."

Chu Ze showed a little surprise on his face.

He really didn't know about it.

Zuo Chong was a little bit embarrassed, but he remembered it.

He touched his chin and nodded: "That's what happened."

He heard it from the person who did it.

When Yu Min saw Zuo Chong nodding, he immediately became more energetic and he immediately expressed his bitterness.

"That's what happened! When that section of the official road collapsed, it was inconvenient for people to come and go, especially those transporting goods to both sides. They were blocked there. They can neither move forward nor retreat, even if they rely on manpower. Carrying things over bag by bag, how long will it take for them to deliver the materials?”

By that time, they didn't know how long the work had been suspended.

The current situation is entirely because Hengyang has just suffered a disaster, everyone needs money, and there is nothing to do.

Once this period of time passes and everyone's life is completely restored, those people will go their separate ways, and their progress will not be as fast as it is now.

Of course, Yu Min still hopes that people's lives will return to normal as soon as possible.

It's just a pity that I missed this opportunity.

Yu Min said and glanced in Chu Ze's direction again.

Chu Ze looked left and right, but he didn't look at Yu Min.

He knew that Yu Min was looking at him, but he pretended not to know.

Yu Min wanted to ask him for help, but he refused to say it directly, so he had to beat around the bush and go in such a big circle.

He also said that he would take them to see ancient buildings.

Chu Ze seriously doubted whether the road Yu Min took them to go to the ancient building.

Otherwise, why is it so close to the stockyard?

It couldn't be that the location they chose was just a coincidence. The stockyard and the ancient building were so close.

Whatever the reason.

You have to be honest when asking him for help.

If Yu Min is being clever like this, you can't blame him for ignoring it.

Chu Ze noticed Yu Min approaching and deliberately walked to the side.

Make an expression as if you saw something.

Yu Min: "..."

Yu Min silently changed direction and followed him again.

Chu Ze still didn't look at him seriously.

Yu Min took a look and thought about it again, and he understood about 70% of it.

He laughed at himself and said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, have you figured it all out? Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and think of a way for us." Yu Min's expression became bitter again, with a hint of pleading, "Your Majesty, how can we do this? Stopping work will cause trouble in the future. I don’t know how long the construction period will be delayed. We don’t want the prince to help us. It’s all for the sake of the people. Can the prince lend a helping hand? "
