The prince said this well, thinking that Sun Zhendong was a trustworthy partner, and went back to be the shopkeeper with peace of mind, who knew that Sun Zhendong would give him such a trick.

In the afternoon, the sun was a little bigger, and it was even more impossible for the prince to come and supervise them, not to mention how carefree the people were.

Compared with the west, those friends of Wu Dalang in the east are much stronger, not only are there more people than the west, but they are also more active in work than them, and at the end of this day, the city wall has also been built a large section.

What's even more excessive is that the little friends in the west got off work before the sun went down before the sun set, and they were simply lazy to the extreme.

When the people left, Sun Zhendong also walked to the east, and then took a look at the east, and did not contact anyone, and went back to Jinghai County directly.

As soon as he returned to Jinghai County, Sun Zhendong immediately walked to the Wu Hotel, and after entering the hotel, he went directly to the second floor to find the prince.

Knock knock...

Sun Zhendong knocked on the door three times: "Your Highness, are you inside?" ”

"Come in." The prince's lazy voice came from the room, and it was obvious that the prince had been in the room all day.

Sun Zhendong pushed the door and entered, and saw that the prince was already sitting at the table at the moment.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" The prince asked lightly.

"Your Highness, I just secretly went to the construction site on Wu Dalang's side to take a look, and found that the city wall they built today is much longer than ours." Sun Zhendong made a small report.

"Wu Dalang has more workers, and it is normal to build longer than us. No fuss. The prince said calmly.

"Your Highness, that's not what I'm going to say. What I want to say is Wu Dalang, they are almost catching up with our progress. Sun Zhendong said helplessly.

At this time, the prince's face changed slightly.

"How is it possible, the city wall we want to build is much shorter than Wu Dalang, even if Wu Dalang and the others are a little more numerous, they won't be able to catch up with our progress in just one day, right? Didn't you work all day? ”

The prince frowned, his tone was a little unhappy, he was about to be caught up on the first day, and there was a wool in the back, so he just admit defeat.

Sun Zhendong's face shook: Prince, you guessed correctly, we really didn't work much this day.

Of course, in this case, Sun Zhendong only dared to say silently in his heart, he didn't dare to say this in front of the prince, otherwise he would have to be cramped and skinned by the prince.

"Your Highness, wronged, all of us are working very hard, as usual, there is not a single lazy person, I don't know why Wu Dalang and they built so quickly, I suspect that he cut corners."

Sun Zhendong said depressedly, especially aggravating the tone of "cutting corners" at the end, for fear that the prince would not hear it.

Sure enough, the prince's eyes lit up when he heard cutting corners, if both sides were building normally, then Wu Dalang couldn't be so fast, and now only the situation of cutting corners shows Wu Dalang's efficiency.

"Good Wu Dalang, I'm thinking about using this method after a while to see if I want to use it, but you can't wait to use it first. In that case, I won't hide it. ”

After the prince finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhendong again.

"From tomorrow, we will also cut corners a little, of course, you must also grasp a degree yourself, not too much, you must at least ensure that the cannon still can't be fired, and the speed is faster than Wu Dalang's."

"Understood." Sun Zhendong said: "As long as it's a little faster than Wu Dalang, after a section is built, I'll take the cannon and try it." Guaranteed to be fast and sturdy. ”

"Well, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are indeed a motivated official, I just need someone like you, do a good job, I won't treat you badly." As the prince spoke, he wrote a blank check to Sun Zhendong to cheer up.

"The subordinates must work hard and live up to the high expectations of the prince." Sun Zhendong said excitedly.

Although Sun Zhendong's heart did not fluctuate, in order to create an atmosphere, Sun Zhendong still behaved very positively.

"Well, then that's it, let's go down first if there's nothing else." The prince said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Sun Zhendong just took a step, and then turned around: "Your Highness, are you going to come over tomorrow to supervise?" ”

"No, I'm still very relieved to have you, just come and report the progress to me like today." The prince said indifferently, showing his trust in Sun Zhendong all the time.

If Sun Zhendong's heart is really on the prince, he should be extremely moved at this time.

Of course, the current Sun Zhendong is also quite moved, and he can lead everyone to be lazy again.

After Sun Zhendong left the prince's room, he went back directly, anyway, in everyone's eyes, Sun Zhendong is now the prince's dog.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the construction of the walls began again.

Wu Dalang's side was still building unhurriedly as usual, as if he had forgotten that there was still a gambling game.

Sun Zhendong's side is different.

Sun Zhendong actively carried out the prince's orders and began to cut corners.

The original city wall must be solid, it is necessary to pour cement into it, after cutting corners, it is different, and there is not so much required, the gap is large, and it doesn't matter if the gap is smaller.

As for the reinforcements, five may have been used in a certain area of the city wall, but now it has been reduced by three.

As for the outer walls, it is even rougher, and only a little bit of cement is used, and in some places you can even see the stones exposed.

And just like that, the day went by again.

When he got off work, Sun Zhendong went to the east to take a look at Wu Dalang's progress, and then swaggered to the hotel to find the prince.

"Your Highness, good news, since we cut corners, our speed has increased significantly, just now I went to Wu Dalang's side to secretly inquire, Wu Dalang's progress is still lagging behind us."

Sun Zhendong stood in front of the prince and excitedly introduced the results of his cutting corners.

The crown prince also showed a rare smile.

"Good, keep it up. But you still have to pay attention to the quality, and don't be bombarded by the cannon when the time comes. ”

It was built so quickly, the prince still had to remind him again, he didn't want to build it for a long time, and finally fell short.

Sun Zhendong patted his chest and said confidently.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have made precise calculations, and after a few days the city wall is stabilized, I will ask the prince to come over and take a look, and personally experiment with the cannon to ensure that the cannon cannot be opened."

After listening to Sun Zhendong's words, the prince was even more relieved, if Sun Zhendong didn't have this level, he wouldn't dare to invite him to see this experiment.
