Chu Ze sneered and turned around to wink at Zhao Si.

Zhao Si understood, took a step forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, get them all!"

"No!" A group of government officials responded and tied up dozens of Taoist priests in the blink of an eye, unable to move.

"My lord, please spare my life! The villain...the villain has realized his mistake and will never dare to do it again!" The so-called viewer was frightened and frightened. He rolled over and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Chu Ze watched coldly, kicked him away, and said loudly: "Come here, check for me, find out who is the mastermind behind this group of people, and which aristocratic families they have colluded with in an attempt to hinder the construction of the school! If you are caught by this king, you will not be spared!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Si accepted the order, escorted the prisoner, and left in a hurry.

Chu Ze turned around, glanced at the shocked workers on the ground, and said in a calmer tone: "Everyone, please get up, there is no need to panic. Today's matter is caused by someone, and I will handle it."

"You can work with peace of mind, and the court will give you justice!"

As if they had been granted amnesty, the common people kowtowed and expressed thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, let's all get up." Chu Ze waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"I am here today to make it clear to everyone. The imperial court's determination to establish a school is not a whim, and it cannot be blocked by villains. As long as it is for the benefit of the people, the prince will risk his life without hesitation! "

He looked around with firm eyes and a strong voice.

"Everyone, our Ming Dynasty is in a troubled period. The former dynasty is eyeing the enemy in the north, and the Japanese pirates are ready to attack in the south. The people work hard every day, but it is difficult to have enough food and clothing. There are only a few scholars, and it is difficult to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. How can we calm the people without education? If we don’t have talented people, who will protect our country?”

The people inside and outside the construction site looked at me and I looked at you, whispering, but they all agreed with what Chu Ze said.

Chu Ze looked at the crowd and said earnestly: "The wise king knows that education is the foundation. Establishing schools and educating talents is the top priority for the country and the people! The prince swears here today that in all matters of teaching and educating people, we must I will do my best and spare no effort, even if I offend the powerful people in the world!"

His words were sonorous, powerful and resounding.

Everyone who heard it was moved, some quietly wiped away tears, and some secretly clenched their fists.

Everyone knows that there are not many officials who can do such practical things for the people.

If you can follow this favored prince, your future will be limitless!
Li Xing and Yang Cai were also deeply affected. They looked at each other with excitement and admiration in their eyes.

They secretly swore that from now on they would do everything for the prince to repay their kindness!
Chu Ze saw it and felt happy in his heart.

Although these workers and common people cannot be of much help for a while, their support and trust are the prince's greatest capital and reliance.

"Okay, don't stand still, go ahead and do what you have to do. I want to personally inspect the progress of the project, so we can't be lazy!"

Chu Ze made a joke, cheered up, and headed towards the depths of the construction site first.

Everyone hurriedly followed, shouting "Yes, Your Majesty" while working hard.

Chu Ze inspected the construction site and listened to the foreman's complaints.

As soon as I arrived, I already knew that in addition to the Taoist priests causing trouble, the construction site equipment was also damaged and some workers were injured. "I am reporting to the prince that my subordinates are working hard day and night with the workers and brothers to build the first school in Fengyang as soon as possible and give the children a place to study."

"Unexpectedly, after we got off work last night, some gangsters from nowhere sneaked into the construction site, smashed equipment, destroyed equipment, and even smashed the workers' tools..."

The foreman sighed with a sad look on his face.

Chu Ze frowned and asked solemnly: "Are there any casualties? Do you know the details of the villain?"

The foreman shook his head and sighed: "I heard that those gangsters even caught several workers who were about to go home from the night shift and beat them. They also threatened them not to come to the school construction site to work again, otherwise they would kill them!"

"What?!" Chu Ze was furious and punched the wooden pillar next to him, causing veins to explode.

"How dare you be so arrogant? Do you really think that the imperial court is a vegetarian?"

He looked around and saw a mess on the construction site, with smashed wood, torn tents, and broken tiles everywhere, all indicating a fierce fight that took place last night.

The workers were dejected. Some were squatting on the ground smoking, and some were sitting in shock. All of them were panic-stricken and worried about the future.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice to comfort: "Folks, don't panic. With the court supporting you, the prince will definitely get to the bottom of it and bring justice to everyone!"

"Whoever dares to bully our worker brothers again, Your Majesty will be the first to fight him! At worst, I will risk my life to protect you!"

When the foreman heard this, tears filled his eyes immediately, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how can you not be moved by what you said? You have done so much for us, and I dare not let you down. Even if you risk your life, , we must also build this school!”

Other workers also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is the reborn parent we are waiting for! With Your Majesty supporting us, brothers have nothing to fear!"

Seeing the admiration and grateful looks from everyone, Chu Ze's heart felt hot. He turned around and whispered to Li Xing: "Master Li, there must be something fishy about this matter. You should immediately lead people to thoroughly investigate what happened last night and be sure to catch the gangster." , find out the mastermind behind the scenes!”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Xing said.

Yang Cai also came forward and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if my subordinates are brave, this matter may not be that simple. According to Weichen, the people behind the scenes will send people to cause trouble."

Chu Ze sneered, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Making trouble? Ha, I will just play with him!"

"Yang Cai, go and pass the order and secretly send more people to protect the workers, especially those who are threatened. No one should be missing!
Yang Cai hurriedly agreed: "Promise, I will obey your orders! I promise to complete the task and live up to the prince's trust!"

Chu Ze nodded, rolled his eyes, and seemed to have thought of something again. He lowered his voice and said: "By the way, you can ask the palace to prepare some silver coins and send them to the injured workers early tomorrow morning as compensation. Then give them to each of them. Record your merit once and get a salary upgrade!”

Yang Cai was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted, and my subordinates admire him! This move can not only appease people, but also win over public opinion. It's really high! It's really high!"

After Chu Ze led everyone to inspect the primary school construction site, he returned to the government office with a heavy heart.

He closed his eyes and meditated on the carriage, and the shocking scenes kept flashing through his mind - the construction site was destroyed, the workers were terrified, and the damn Taoist priests were making trouble... (End of this chapter)
