I want to be a good minister

Chapter 415 The King's "Surprise" Discovery
When Cen Xi came out, he saw the workers who had already been brought back one after another. Mr. Yu led a group of officials to interrogate, and the crying could be heard from Cen Xi.

Cen Xi frowned, instinctively rejecting the cries.

"Everyone has worked hard—" Cen Xi patted Li on the shoulder.

"My lord, I don't dare to be an official—" Li  said hurriedly, but Cen Xi had already passed him and headed towards the group of workers. , then several gazes shot at him surprisingly unanimously.

Li  felt guilty for no reason, especially after seeing the skills of these guards last night, he felt even more guilty.

No, my lords, listen to me, the next official definitely gave credit to you.

"My lords—" Li  thought it necessary to explain why the other party gave him a chance.

"Go—" Wei Zhi took Fu Ling to leave first, and followed Cen Xi directly. Seeing this, Cheng Yang Jun also followed.

"Mr. Chengyang, thank you very much for what happened last night—" Seeing that there was no one there, Cen Xi turned around and thanked him. He wanted to use this as an opportunity to get closer to Mr. Chengyang, who was a little displeased. feeling, especially the other party's tone of alienation.

"Chengyang Lord has been busy all night, I dare not bother you anymore, if Chengyang Lord doesn't take a break, Jing really feels ashamed—" Cen Xi said immediately, these words really came from the bottom of his heart.

Mr. Chengyang's previous displeasure also drifted away with this sincerity.

"Then the king will go to rest first—" Chengyang Jun nodded, no longer insisting, he can't be in a hurry, he slowly figured it out, the queen mother missed Cen Jing very much, and that Cen Jing who went to Houzhao country was all her heart and eyes, and she also He insisted on not living in the palace, only in his palace, and insisted on being a guest.

Maybe Cen Jing needs to go to Ziyan Kingdom to solve all this.

Wei Zhi quit immediately, how could my sister just thank him alone, dare to say that last night was all due to his contribution.

Fu Ling grabbed Wei Zhi who was about to step forward to argue, but no, there are only two of us, seven or eight of them.

Wei Zhi immediately looked at Fu Ling angrily, it was because you stopped me.

"Master, don't worry, Mr. Cen is asking you to follow—"

If Cen Xi knew what Fu Ling was saying at this moment, she would definitely try her best to deny it. She was just watching Wei Zhi standing far away. Now that she has been busy all night, the child's heart will naturally go back to sleep.

Waiting for the next moment, Cen Xi was a little surprised to see Weizhi still following behind him, but it didn't matter if he followed, after all, it was Weizhi, so subconsciously, Cen Xi got closer. I also feel that there is more casualness at the time.

"Master, if you are not sleepy, you can accompany the official for a walk—"

"I'm not tired——" Wei Zhi's expression was joyful, this kid Fu Ling is very helpful at critical moments, my sister is not treating Chengyang Lord as her own.

Cen Xi thanked him and walked forward.

The escaped workers were tied up in a pile, and several leaders were carried in front, and a soldier went down with a whip, and there was another wail.

"Say, why did you run away?" The soldier roared, the leader of the workers just wailed, and all the workers buried their heads in silence.

"stop--"

"Master Cen—"

"Officer Xia——" Cen Xi nodded towards the person who came, the officer Xia waved his hand, and the soldiers stopped.

"Lord Cen, this time the unruly people have committed chaos. If you don't give them a lesson, it will be difficult to control them." Xia Junshou said immediately, and he wanted to show strict governance in front of Cen Xi.

"Governor Xia, wait a minute—" Cen Xi spoke mildly, and he didn't mean to blame Xia Wentao, "I understand the intentions of Sheriff Xia, but now is the time for employing people, and extraordinary measures should be taken in extraordinary times—"

"What is an extraordinary method?" Xia Junshou was taken aback, asking for advice in his words.

Cen Xi explained a few words briefly, and then ordered the soldiers to release some palace officials who were punished.

The workers looked at this strange senior official warily. From the respectful expression of the Xia County Sheriff, it can be seen that everyone is more disbelieving, especially the other party's age can't hold up the momentum.

"Everyone—" Cen Xi said suddenly, and all the officials present were taken aback. What is this title?
The workers were also taken aback, looking at the senior official in a strange way.

"From now on, if you want to leave, just leave. No one will stop you. The people recruited by the embankment came here voluntarily. If you don't want to stay, you can leave the contract and leave on your own."

The workers were taken aback, what is a contract?The words of this high official are not reliable.

"What is a contract?" a bold worker asked.

Sheriff Xia bowed his head, he also wanted to ask, what contract?Why hasn't he heard of it.

"It was when you recruited, your signatures—" Cen Xi explained in a very solid way. To be precise, it can also be called a contract, right?
"However, I want to remind everyone that when we first recruited, we stated that the construction period was one year. The recruited people have arranged relatives. Now that you are leaving, the relatives you settled down at the beginning must also be with you. Let's go—" Cen Xi immediately said again.

"Impossible, they are the people here, why did they leave?" A worker immediately shouted, his face turned pale, why didn't he think of this?

"Not only that, at the beginning the contract was for a one-year construction period, but now it is only three months. You were the ones who breached the contract first. Since you breached the contract, you will be punished. After all, we still need to find new workers. No matter how skilled they are, the construction period will be delayed. The extra labor cost, you have to post it back—”

"This—" the team was chattering, but it seemed to be reasonable. It was indeed a year.

"Also, after the workers have completed three years, after the successful construction of the dam, we will officially become regular employees, and the county guard will help you find a job in the government office—"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and some people's eyes lit up. Thinking about it, three years is not too long, and they settled their families properly.

"Okay, is there anyone who wants to leave now?" Cen Xi glanced at everyone and asked.

More than half of the crowd suddenly fell down, and there were still a few heads raised, determined to go, but for some reason, they didn't stand up immediately.

"I'm leaving—" followed by a worker standing up.

Xia Junshou secretly cursed that there is no conscience, anyone would agree to such a good condition, according to him, there is no need to be so kind to these unscrupulous people.

"Why did you leave?" Cen Xi spoke softly, but the worker didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude, he was taken aback for a moment, and then spoke hastily.

"My old lady is seriously ill—" The worker bowed his head and stood up with several others.

"Me too, no one at home to take care of—"

"I miss my wife—"

There were seven or eight people here and there, Cen Xi nodded, since he had already spoken and the number of people did not pose a threat, he was about to release them, but Wei Zhi suddenly spoke coldly.

"They're lying, arrest them all—" Fling was about to step forward, where he needed to move, the Sheriff of Xia had already waved his hands, and several soldiers grabbed these people.
