It can be used not only to build roads, but also to build sturdy high-rise buildings and palaces, which has infinite significance for the construction of the Ming Dynasty.

I will definitely make it all over the country and improve the lives of ordinary people.

Chu Ze secretly made up his mind.

"Craftsmen, I am very pleased with your new tools and skills!" Chu Ze said happily: "In the future, I will vigorously promote the use of cement across the country, and you must work hard to keep up and become a leader in this new technology!" ”

"Thank you for your support! We will live up to your expectations! The craftsmen cheered.

Looking at their excited appearance, Chu Ze felt sincerely happy.

With the backing of these creative craftsmen, my dreams will come true!

At this time, Lao Zhang also stepped forward, his face full of joy.

"Lao Zhang, how is it? Our hard work has not been in vain, has it? Chu Ze excitedly put his arm around Lao Zhang's shoulder.

"Haha, of course!" Lao Zhang said with a smile: "I am very excited to see the craftsmen using new tools for construction. This marks that Daming construction industry has officially entered a new era! ”

"That's right!" Chu Ze also smiled: "The successful laying of the cement road is just a small beginning. In the future, I will develop more new building materials to make Daming's buildings stronger and more magnificent! ”

"Yes! This cement avenue is like a big flag, announcing the advent of a new era to everyone! Lao Zhang said.

Looking at the eager reaction of the craftsmen, Chu Ze's heart was surging, and the successful laying of the cement road made him see the dawn of the industrial revolution in Daming.

In order to further promote the use of cement, Chu Ze decided to take a huge amount of money from his own finances to mass-produce high-quality cement.

"Zhao Si, go and call a few account offices to come over." Chu Ze commanded.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Zhao Si immediately went to pass the word.

After a while, several officials in charge of the treasury of the account office hurried in.

"What does the prince command?" A tall middle-aged man stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"Take your seats first." Chu Ze said with a smile: "I have a plan that needs to withdraw funds from the account room. ”

Everyone immediately took their seats, took out pen and ink notebooks, and stood by.

"I want to mass-produce the cement building materials that I just invented." Chu Ze said slowly: "It has a wide range of uses and can completely improve the construction industry of Daming. Therefore, I hope to withdraw 500,000 taels of silver from the account office for inputs such as cement production and related equipment. ”

"500,000 taels!" The accounting officials gasped and picked up pens to record this huge amount.

"Lord Wang, you are right, the potential of cement is unlimited." An old official pushed his glasses and said, "However, with such a large amount of money, please allow me to think a little about the specific use plan." We will work hard to reduce expenditure in all aspects and implement this budget as soon as possible. ”

"You've thought it through." Chu Ze nodded approvingly and said, "I'll let someone draw up a detailed proposal for the use of funds and give it to you for review." After you check, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will personally revise the plan to ensure that the funds are used properly. ”

"Okay, so with a detailed usage proposal, we can allocate this huge amount of money with more peace of mind." The old official breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is our honor to provide financial support for cement production. ”

Several other young officials also expressed their support, and as long as the prince proposed a reasonable plan, they would definitely go all out to implement the funds.

Chu Ze saw that the attitude of the accounting officials had turned positive, and he was also very satisfied.

After all, the use of such a large amount of money requires careful argumentation.

I should also discuss the plan with them more and reach a consensus.

"I will consider the ROI analysis and risk prevention measures in detail." Chu Ze told several officials: "Cement production is not an industry that can be profitable in the short term, and we need to plan from a long-term perspective." ”

"Yes, Lord Chu, you have far-sighted opinions, we will wait and see." Officials said respectfully.

Chu Ze was also very pleased to see their sincere attitude.

They must apply modern management methods to give officials confidence in this investment.

Next, Chu Ze convened a meeting of officials at all levels to discuss the planning of the cement road.

"Officials, we must use cement, a new building material, to thoroughly improve the urban roads of Daming." Chu Ze said slowly: "Please make suggestions according to the actual local situation and decide which important roads need to be renovated the most." ”

Everyone took out the map and studied it carefully.

"Lord Chu, I see that this main road leading to the market has a lot of pedestrians and cars every day, and the road surface is muddy, so it should be renovated first." A young official suggested.

"I think the official road leading to the city gate is more important, it carries the heavy responsibility of the merchants and carts entering and leaving the city, and the new road surface will greatly improve the transportation efficiency." An old official had a different opinion.

"Hmm...... Each of you has a point. Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we adopt a comprehensive strategy, not only to renovate the main streets, but also to repair some secondary alleys, so that the quality of all roads can be improved." ”

"Exactly! The prince of Chu is thoughtful, not only paying attention to the traffic arteries, but also not forgetting the needs of ordinary people. The crowd praised it.

Chu Ze was also very relieved to see the positive attitude of everyone.

I must consider the problem from the perspective of the overall situation and take into account the interests of all parties.

"We also need to consider the traffic impact during the construction period, and adopt a phased approach, so that all roads are not closed at the same time." Chu Ze continued: "It is also necessary to set up obvious indication signs to ensure that people can travel conveniently. ”

"It's very good that we will plan the timetable for the renovation of each road in detail and adopt a step-by-step strategy to ensure progress and take into account the needs of the people." The officials replied respectfully.

Chu Ze saw that the officials were actively expressing their positions, and nodded secretly in his heart.

They don't just want to be pandering to themselves, but they really want the project to go smoothly.

You must also listen carefully to the voices of all parties and be inclusive, so that you can really do a good job of road planning.

"I will carefully consider your opinions and revise and improve the planning plan." Chu Ze said solemnly: "I will personally check every detail to ensure that this project is not only practical, but also fully embodies humanistic care." ”

"Thank you Lord Chu for your intentions!" Everyone said from the bottom of their hearts.

"Alright, let's complete this great project together!" "It will not only be an urban construction, but also a cornerstone of the industrial revolution," Chu Ze encouraged. I will let cement fully change the lives of ordinary people, and let Daming move towards a new future! ”

"Yes! We follow the prince of Chu and will definitely make this project a success! The voices of the crowd were loud and firm.

Chu Ze looked at the officials' excited appearance with satisfaction, and also felt his blood boiling.
