He narrowed his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Li Xing asked carefully: "My lord, what do you have in mind?"

Chu Ze stood with his hands behind his hands, walked slowly to the window, looked at the sun-drenched street scene outside, and said resolutely:

"Education will rejuvenate the country, and its work will last forever. How can I be made to retreat with just a few obstructions? Mr. Li, don't worry. With the protection of the saints and the help of the people, this primary school must be built!"

"Come here, I want to see whether it is the interests of these aristocratic family masters or the dignity of the court that is more important! Zhao Si, please check for me. Anyone who makes trouble at the construction site these days will be found out. I want to Meet them in person!”

"As for the mastermind behind the scenes...Li Xing, you send people to pay close attention to the movements of Jiang Guogong and Ding Xiang's clan members, and keep them on sight! Huh, if they dare to ignore the promotion again, I will let them know, and I will offend me. The fate of the king!"

Chu Ze's words were sonorous and powerful, with a sense of iron-blooded pride.

When Li Xing, Zhao Si and others heard this, they all became energetic, and they all bowed and promised: "Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey your orders! I will do my best and live up to my mission!"

Chu Ze nodded with a smile, feeling a little more trustful and gratified for his devoted subordinates.

At this time, on the road leading from the government office to the primary school construction site, the people looked sideways and whispered among themselves.

"Where are we going? I see there are many adults from the government!"

"You don't know yet? I heard that our prince is going to inspect the construction of the new school, so as to scare those restless guys!"

"Hey, there really is a prince, whoever dares to cause trouble there must not be taken out and beaten to death?"

"That's right, the Holy One has already issued an order, but you still dare to disobey? I'm afraid you don't want your head!"

From time to time bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

In their opinion, it is a great honor to be able to follow the prince.

Not to mention, you can get a close look at the primary school appointed by the Holy Spirit. If you come out today, you will really make a lot of money!
Chu Ze sat in the carriage, listening to the people talking outside, feeling indescribably comfortable.

now it's right.

The common people are the purest and simplest.

As long as the court does practical things and good things for them, even if there are villains who interfere with it, the big guys will see it.

When the time comes, they will naturally come to help.

Thinking of this, Chu Zezhi was very proud and became more confident about the future.

Li Xing and others, who were following the car silently, looked at the high-spirited back of the prince, and felt a surge of pride and ambition in their hearts.

You have decided to follow this prince who has the trust of the saints, and your future is bright, but you are still worried that you will not be able to achieve great things?
This inspection trip will surely go down in history and become a highlight in the history of Fengyang education!
A large group of people marched towards the primary school construction site under the spotlight.

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and stared ahead, with a determined smile on his lips.

"Come on, I want to see who dares to disturb us?!" The Taoist priest was furious and slapped the pillar with his palm. The whole shed shook three times and dust flew everywhere.

Wow!
It seemed that these Taoist priests knew martial arts, and now the workers were even more panicked.

"You untouchables, how dare you talk to me like this? Let me tell you, from ancient times to the present, the place where Xuandu Guan has been here has been a treasured place specially designated by the ancestor! How can you be allowed to build any bullshit school here!"

He looked around and sneered: "You'd better be wise and evacuate them all, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The harsh words made everyone's faces turn pale, and they couldn't help but remain silent.

A group of Taoist priests watched indifferently, with a proud smile on their lips. They just waited for the masons and workers to give in and spread the word to see who dared to come to the construction site.

At this moment, a burst of noisy voices came, and a group of government officials filed in, surrounding the entire construction site. The leader was very popular, who else could it be but Chu Ze.

I saw chaos on the construction site, and several Taoist priests were shouting at the panicked workers.

"Stop! Stop it all!" Chu Ze strode forward and shouted loudly, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

The Taoist priests were stunned for a moment, then came back to their senses and panicked when they saw Chu Ze coming to the construction site in person.

Then he forced himself to calmly bow to Chu Ze and said, "See you, Your Majesty."

The leader, an older Taoist priest, said in a serious tone: "I, the master of Xuandu Temple, just heard that the government was going to build a school here, so I had to come and stop it. This place is a treasure land specially designated by my master, Xuandu Temple. How can we allow it? Are outsiders disturbing the ground at will? Please keep an eye on it!"

"Presumptuous!" Chu Ze was furious, and said with murderous aura around him: "The majestic Fengyang Prince is running a school on his own land, do you need a Taoist priest to comment?"

The face of the temple owner changed and he defended: "My lord, please calm down, this is not our trespassing, it is actually the government occupying my sect's holy land, and it should be punished according to the law!"

"Oh, taking it by force? Punish it according to the law?" Chu Ze sneered repeatedly, walked up to the viewer with his hands behind his back, and looked at him condescendingly, his eyes like a sword.

"I have never heard that in the grand Xuandu Temple, apart from an old guard, there are other people living there? Not to mention the treasure land designated by the ancestors. Who are you? And where did you hear this nonsense? ?”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leading Taoist priest, and he stammered: "This... this... villain didn't lie. Xuandu Temple is prosperous and famous. How can it be possible that there is only one old gatekeeper?"

Chu Ze snorted disdainfully and looked around. He saw overgrown weeds and dilapidation. There was no sign of a decent family.
He said slowly: "Xuandu Temple? Haha, it's just a ruined temple. Our Ming law clearly stipulates that if any temple, temple, or nunnery has not been taken care of for many years, it is equivalent to being abandoned, and it can be taken back to the government and used for other purposes. Your Xuandu Temple has long existed in name only, with only an old janitor hanging on for dear life, and now you come to compete with the imperial court for territory. Isn’t it too overestimating your capabilities?”

"Moreover, even when the government took back Xuandu Temple, it was not by force. As far as I know, the old Taoist priest was given a large resettlement fee at that time to let him take care of himself. The two parties also signed a contract, written in black and white. In the archives, you Xuandu Guan can’t even think of denying it!”

The viewer's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.

"This this……"

Chu Ze looked at him coldly and said word by word: "What's wrong? Do you mean to say that the imperial court has bullied you? Or do you think that you and those aristocratic families who have colluded can make trouble on Tai Sui's head?"

"Ah? No... no... the villains didn't collude..." The viewer was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly and his voice changed. (End of chapter)
