The old man frowned and sighed.

Not long after, the carriage slowly drove into Fengyang City.

The officials opened the curtains and were immediately stunned by the scene in Fengyang.

"Oh my god, this, is this Fengyang?" The middle-aged official's eyes widened.

All I saw in front of me was a straight and wide concrete road. The houses on both sides of the road were brand new, and the people were all smiling and friendly.

"It's really unbelievable. It's been so long since I've been here, and Fengyang has changed so much." The old man murmured, his eyes full of emotion.

"Look at those private houses, how magnificent they are! Compared with our mud houses, they are completely different." The thin official exclaimed.

A group of people walked on the streets of Fengyang, listening to the laughter and laughter of the people, looking at the peaceful and prosperous scene around them, and they were all envious.

"Prince Chu is still capable. This is called being able to govern and take care of people's livelihood. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't that what we officials want?" The middle-aged official couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, the people are living so well. In our places, the people are still worried about not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear." The old man sighed.

The thin official clenched his fists and said, "After I go back, I will definitely ask Prince Chu for advice and see how he governs Fengyang. It's time to change my shabby place."

The words of several people expressed their admiration and emotion for Fengyang vividly.

They secretly made up their minds that they must ask Chu Ze for advice on governance this time, so that they could go back and do a good job in their own jurisdiction.

In everyone's heart, they look forward to the day when they can manage their own area like Fengyang and become a role model, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the government can be prosperous and prosperous.

"Let's go and report to the government first. Let's get ready. We will meet Prince Chu later, so don't show any timidity." The middle-aged official encouraged.

As a result, several people encouraged each other and worked hard to show off their talents at this grand event and impress Chu Ze deeply.

That night, Chu Ze held a banquet in the government hall to entertain officials from all over the country.

The lights in the banquet hall were bright and people were drinking wine.

A large number of dignitaries and dignitaries gathered together, all dressed in fine clothes and looking very energetic.

Chu Ze was dressed in a silk robe and had an extraordinary bearing. He smiled and greeted the guests one by one.

"Prefect Liu, you're fine." Chu Ze bowed his hands and saluted.

Liu Ming hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Prince Chu Haihan, I am so proud of you. It is rare that the prince invites you so kindly, how dare you not accept it."

Chu Ze laughed and said: "It's easy to talk. I invite you all to come here today. Firstly, I want you to witness this grand event. Secondly, I also want to take this opportunity to enhance our relationship with you. Everyone is here to share the emperor's worries and make plans for the people. Lucky for you, you should come and go often."

Liu Ming felt warm in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. I will be lucky in my next life to have the honor of making friends with such a wise man as Your Majesty."

Chu Ze turned to Magistrate Gao Yuan and said, "Magistrate Gao Yuan, your county is well managed, right? Do you need my help?"

Gao Yuan was flattered and said hurriedly: "No, no, this small county is shabby, but it can't compare with the prince's Fengyang. Speaking of which, I still hope to ask the prince for advice on how to govern."

Chu Ze patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't take it seriously when asking for advice. It's just a matter of experience. Let's talk in detail some other time when we have time."

Gao Yuan burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Then I'll thank the prince first."

These greetings made all the officials feel more cordial and their previous restraint was gone. Everyone said something to each other and started chatting freely.

"It is said that the riders you compete in this time are all talented people selected from the private sector?" Chu Ze asked curiously.

A middle-aged official nodded and said: "Exactly. I asked my subordinates to search from village to house and select good cyclists. These people are all simple and kind-hearted people. They work hard to support their families on weekdays. They never I’ve seen this kind of battle before.”

"Haha, they are now promising. It is a great honor to compete with masters like Fengyang." The middle-aged official said with a smile.

A young county magistrate next to him interjected: "Two young men have also come to my place. They are said to be very fast on bicycles. They might be able to get a ranking. Hey, I wonder where Prince Chu has arranged for them to live?"

"Of course they are well entertained." Chu Ze smiled slightly and said: "We are all guests coming from afar, how can we neglect them? I have already ordered people to make arrangements, eat well, drink well, and prepare clean bedding."

When everyone heard this, they all showed approval.

This Prince of Chuze is really considerate of everything, and even the common people who participate in the competition are so concerned. This kind of kindness is really rare.

Just as he was talking, Li Xing hurriedly came to Chu Ze and whispered a few words.

Chu Ze nodded and said to everyone: "My lords, I'm sorry to excuse you. There are still some details that need to be taken care of on the playing field, so I'll excuse you for a moment. Have a drink to your heart's content, and if you need anything, just ask."

After that, Chu Ze left the table.

All the officials gave him away.

"Everyone, let's have a drink." The middle-aged official raised his glass and said boldly: "Cheers to our great Prince Chu!"

"Cheers to Prince Chu!" Everyone raised their glasses.

After three drinks, everyone started talking.

"Speaking of which, we all owe a lot to the people. Look at Prince Chu, he loves the people so much and has many political achievements." A prefect said sincerely.

A governor next to him said with emotion: "That's right. People build schools, develop people's livelihood, and care for the people. There is a huge difference from us who only know how to collect money and food."

The little county magistrate was not willing to be lonely and said: "Oh, it makes me blush. In my poor and remote place, the people are still suffering. Compared with Fengyang, it is like the sky and the earth."

He hung his head guiltily, as if reflecting on his own incompetence.

"Okay, okay, aren't we here to learn from others?" The middle-aged official consoled him: "This prince of Chu has done something like this at such a young age. What does it mean? It shows that as long as you put your heart into it, you can manage anywhere! Let’s go back and think about it carefully, and also bring some benefits to the people, that’s what we’re really good at!”

"Yes, yes, we officials should learn from Prince Chu!" Everyone agreed.

"After I return, I must pay close attention to people's livelihood, build water conservancy projects, and develop culture and education." The prefect said boldly.

"I will also work diligently, love the people, and benefit the people." Fu Yin vowed.

"I want to change my style of work, enjoy more with the people, and be less oppressive by power." The small county magistrate is also very motivated.

After three rounds of drinking, all the officials said to me were full of enthusiasm and eager to try.

They seemed to be inspired by Chu Ze to ignite the enthusiasm to serve the country and benefit the people. (End of chapter)
