"This is all thanks to the blessing of the prince!" The craftsmen said shyly.

"Go, tell all the residents in the alley to come out and see the new pavement!" Chu Ze said excitedly.

Soon, the residents in the alley listened to the call and walked out one after another.

"Oh my God, how did the entrance to my yard turn into a smooth concrete floor!" An old man said in surprise.

"Great, I'm not afraid of wrestling on mud roads on rainy days in the future!" A mother-in-law said happily: "My old bones are most afraid of stumbling, but now I can go shopping safely!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for benefiting us civilians!" The residents were grateful.

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." Chu Ze said modestly: "I feel extremely relieved and proud to be able to do practical things for the people and improve your lives!" ”

"We didn't expect to see this kind of tall cement road in front of our house in our lifetime!" A middle-aged man said excitedly: "Thank you so much to the prince of Chu for discovering a remote place like ours!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Everyone echoed, and everyone was excited.

Chu Ze was also sincerely relieved to see the joy on the faces of the people.

Yes, we are making history step by step so that ordinary people can live a more decent and prosperous life!

It's just an insignificant alley, but it heralds a brighter future for Daming to come!

I will make such progress blossom everywhere and let all the people live in sunshine and hope!

At this time, Lao Li stepped forward and said excitedly: "Lord Wang, seeing the happy smiling faces of the people, we craftsmen feel very honored!" We are in awe of the fact that you can work side by side with us and be considerate of the people. We will follow you to create a happier life for the people of Daming! ”

"Haha, with your help me, I can also make it happen." Chu Ze patted Lao Li's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, let's get here first today." Another day, we will continue to renovate other alleys, so that all people can share a new life! ”

"Obey the king! We're ready to help you transform your next alley! The craftsmen replied respectfully.

"Thank you for your support!" Chu Ze waved goodbye to the residents.

"Lord Chu go slowly! Thank you for everything you did for us! Residents waved.

The next day, Chu Ze continued to lead the craftsmen deep into the city to renovate the alleys.

This time they came to an alley called "Double Happiness Lane" near the South City Gate.

There are many carpenters living in the alley, so a lot of wood chips have accumulated, and the road is very muddy.

"With so many carpenters living here, you can imagine the condition of the road surface." Chu Ze said with a smile: "We have to help them create a smooth and comfortable new road to facilitate the transportation of logs and finished products." ”

"Here, let's sweep the wood chips off the road first, and then rinse the mud with water." Chu Ze instructed.

"Yes!" The craftsmen responded and began to clear the road.

At this time, a man in his thirties walked over, it was Li Yongqiang, the owner of the largest carpentry workshop in this alley.

"Yo, early in the morning, why did you come to our broken alley in person, Lord Wang?" Li Yongqiang asked with a smile.

"Come and check on your carpenter's living conditions, and by the way, improve your inconvenience." Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll just say, the prince is always thinking about our people in his head!" Li Yongqiang said happily: "We are used to this road, but we don't feel any inconvenience. I still want to thank you, Lord Wang, for discovering the needs of our little people! ”

"Don't bother you, we can do it as a craftsman." Chu Ze smiled and waved his hand: "You hurry up and go busy with your carpentry work, be careful of burning the wood!" ”

"Hahaha, the prince said he was laughing!" Li Yongqiang shook hands with Chu Ze with a smile and said goodbye, and then hummed a little song and went back to his woodworking workshop.

Chu Ze looked at the back of Li Yongqiang's departure, and a trace of relief swelled in his heart - this is what I want for the people of the Ming Dynasty, simple and kind, working on their own careers.

With everyone's efforts, Double Happiness Lane was quickly cleaned up.

"Rinse it with a hose to remove the dirt that has accumulated over the years." Chu Ze reminded.

"Okay!" Several craftsmen began to vigorously wash the dirt from the ground with water hoses.

"Whoa-" The clear water quickly washed away the thick layer of dirt, revealing the stone pavement below.

"Great, as soon as you rush like this, the road surface will immediately look new!" Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect the power of water to be so powerful!" Several craftsmen also smiled.

"Okay, the road surface is cleared, let's start laying cement!" Chu Ze clapped his hands.

"Yes!" The craftsmen quickly began pouring the freshly compacted roadbed into a flat concrete floor.

At this time, Li Yongqiang also heard the movement and peeked out of the woodworking workshop to see the excitement.

"Yo, the prince personally helped us build the road, I'm so embarrassed!" Li Yongqiang said with some embarrassment.

"A carpenter is to have a carpenter's way of living, and the work of building roads is left to us professionally!" Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you are laughing! If I have the opportunity, I will also learn to help you build roads, and do my best! Li Yongqiang said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go back to the carpentry work, be careful of burning the table legs!" Chu Ze joked with a smile.

"Oops, I was recognized by the prince!" Li Yongqiang touched his nose and smiled, then went back to his carpenter workshop and continued to concentrate on carpentry.

It didn't take long for everyone's joint efforts to pave the cement road of Double Happiness Lane.

Chu Ze walked a few steps with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's done!" I'm amazed at how efficient you are at completing the task in such a short time! ”

"It's all up to your lord to guide you!" The craftsmen smiled and said modestly.

"Go, tell all the residents in the alley to come out and see the new cement road!" Chu Ze said excitedly.

Soon, the residents in the alley rushed to hear the news and were all happy to see the smooth and white new pavement.

"Great, the concrete pavement in front of me is smooth and smooth, it's just pleasing to the eye!"

"Thank you Lord Chu for discovering the suffering of poor people like us, so that we can also enjoy the first-class pavement!"

"Thank you for this surprise!" The residents couldn't stop thanking Chu Ze.

Chu Ze saw the joy on their faces, and he also sincerely felt relieved and accomplished.

That's exactly what his efforts are all about.

Under the careful command of Chu Ze, the cement pavement construction in Fengyang urban area is in full swing.

Today, from the main roads to the alleys, the original muddy roads are being transformed into spacious and smooth concrete pavement.

"Lord Wang, take a look around, these newly built cement roads are really refreshing!" Zhao Si also said with a smile: "Seeing the joy on the faces of the people, your wish has come true again!" (End of chapter)
