"How good it is to build a new building with cement, and you don't have to worry about being washed by water, why not build it?" Zuo Chong heard it very pity, waved his hand, and said, "Is there a shortage of silver?" How much is missing? Let's get out. ”

It's rare that Zuo Chong, who doesn't have a dime, has such a big time.

Chu Ze tilted his head in surprise and teased: "Is the iron rooster rusty?" ”

Otherwise, how could the rust come out of his hands?

Zuo Chong glared at him angrily.

"What is this called, we are working for the welfare of the people."

Zuo Chong said righteously and strictly.

But Chu Ze didn't believe a word.

As far as he knows about Zuo Chong, this person is typical of being unprofitable.

No good, and you still want to take the money from him?

Dreams are more practical than this.

Unless......

Chu Ze's brain turned quickly, and he instantly figured out the joints in it.

Zuo Chong wanted to contribute to his own imperial business.

The ancient building that can get Yu Min's attention must be very concerning.

Regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang pays attention to it or not.

As long as he gives this money, his name will be on the funder column, and Yu Min will definitely report the matter.

Didn't you brush your face again in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?

Triple buff, how can you take that "weird".

Chu Ze figured this out, and looked at Zuo Chong's eyes changed a little, with a bit of knowingly ridicule and banter.

Zuo Chong was slightly embarrassed by him.

But only slightly.

Isn't there an old saying: If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed?

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

God should reward him.

Thinking about it like this, Zuo Chong's confidence was suddenly sufficient.

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

Yu Min didn't know about this, and when he saw Zuo Chong squandering money like this, he immediately smiled.

He bypassed Chu Ze, walked to Zuo Chong's house, and happily bowed his hand to Zuo Chong: "Then we will be disrespectful." Master Zuo, you don't know how difficult it is for us now. We don't have money or supplies now, and in a few days, we'll have to stop working. ”

"Why is there a shutdown?" Chu Ze was surprised.

Zuo Chong didn't believe it either.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, pointing to the busy workers not far away, as well as the material trucks that kept coming and going, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu's bitter complaint is not a place, and it is all exposed." ”

Chu Ze looked at Zuo Chong's hand, and also turned his head and looked at Yu Min with a smile.

Yu Min: "......"

"Two, why do we use this to complain?" A wry smile flashed on Yu Min's face, and he sighed helplessly, "What I use now is all stock, and there are not many materials." Let's let the person in charge calculate, and insist on five days at most. After five days, we had to stop work even if we didn't want to. What we say is true, if you don't believe it, please follow us and see if what we say is true. ”

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

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

Just let them see what the hell is going on.

It didn't take long for them to show up at the stockyard.

Here, they covered cement and steel with tarpaulin, and there were many stones and other materials piled up next to them.

Just looking at this, there are quite a few of them.

As Yu Min said, it is not a problem to use it for four or five days.

But as soon as he saw this, a trace of strangeness flashed in Chu Ze's heart, he turned his head, glanced behind him, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled after a while.

This Lord Yu, really.

Chu Ze didn't know what to say about him.

Yu Min led them inside.

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

The whole person is full of relaxation.

But he listened carefully to every sentence Yu Min said.

Zuo Chong followed Yu Min around the stockpile.

Yu Min said: "Master Yu, Lord Wang, we are not afraid to be honest, in fact, at the beginning, these things are enough, if the materials can be continuously sent here, with our current progress, we can replace all the roads in the city with cement roads after half a year." ”

Because there are so many of them.

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

If there are enough manpower, the speed will naturally not be slow.

"But here's the problem." Yu Min sighed heavily, his eyes quietly glanced at Chu Ze, and then quickly retracted it, and continued to say, "The prince probably doesn't know about this, but Master Zuo must have heard of it, that is, a few days ago, on the official road to Yingtian, there was a collapse, and only pedestrians could barely pass on both sides, and horses and carriages could not pass." ”

Chu Ze showed a little surprise on his face.

He really didn't know about it.

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

He touched his chin and nodded, "That's the case." ”

He had heard it from those who had done it.

Yu Min saw Zuo Chong nodding, and suddenly became more energetic, and he immediately poured bitter water.

"That's it! As soon as the official road collapsed, it was inconvenient for people to come and go, especially those who were transporting goods on both sides, and they were directly blocked there. They can't move forward or backward now, even if they rely on manpower to carry things bag by bag, when will they have to deliver the materials? ”

By that time, they didn't know how long the shutdown would last.

Now the people are siblings, it is entirely because Hengyang has just suffered, everyone needs silver, and there is nothing to do.

When this period of time is over, everyone's life is completely restored, and those people will go their own way, and their progress will not be as fast as it is now.

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

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

Yu Min said, glancing in the direction of Chu Ze again.

Chu Ze looked left and right, looked at it, but 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, he had to beat around the bush and go around in such a big circle.

What else did he say to take them to see the ancient building.

Chu Ze seriously doubted that the part of the road that Yu Min took them was going to the ancient building.

Otherwise, how can you get so close to the stockpile?

It can't be that the location they chose is so coincidental, the stockyard is so close to the ancient building.

Whatever the reason.

You have to be honest when you ask him for help.

If you are as clever as Yu Min, you can't blame him for ignoring it.

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

I make an expression of what I saw.

Yu Min: "......"

Yu Min silently changed direction and followed.

Chu Ze still didn't look at him squarely.

Yu Min took a look, thought about it again, and understood seven or eight points in his heart.

He laughed at himself and said cheerfully: "Lord Wang, have you figured it out?" Then the prince is gracious, give us ideas. Yu Min's expression was bitter again, with a little pleading, "Lord Wang, if we stop the work, it will be troublesome in the future, and I don't know when the construction period will have to be delayed." We don't want the prince to help us, it's all for the sake of the people, and the prince extends a helping hand? ”
