Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

"Gentlemen, you don't need to kneel before me. As I've said before, we are all scholars here..."

"If you kneel down to me all the time, I feel very uncomfortable."

Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Liao Sen told them to get up together.

After watching them stand up, he said to them, "I'm here now. If you encounter any problems while researching local theoretical knowledge, you can come to me... If I can answer you, I certainly will..."

These people were filled with surprise and astonishment upon hearing Xiao Ce's words...

Then she turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, is it really possible?"

Some people are so excited they can't wait to ask right now.

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Of course, we'll finish our meal like this."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, some people stopped talking nonsense and focused on eating.

Even Liao Sen, afraid of missing out, started to focus on cooking.

Xiao Ce actually glanced at them a few times. Some of their questions were at most high school level knowledge, which was not difficult for him.

They all ate very quickly, and one of them came to Xiao Ce with a piece of scratch paper.

Xiao Ce glanced at it and immediately noticed the problem in his calculations, and quickly pointed out the issue.

After Xiao Ce pointed it out, he suddenly understood and everything became clear...

So everyone started queuing up.

There were all sorts of problems, but fortunately, Xiao Ce was a top student in science when he was in school in his previous life, so he had some knowledge of these subjects.

...

While Xiao Ce was explaining to them, Xiao Yang had already returned.

Xiao Yang looked at the scene inside the room, somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Xiao Ce was sitting at one end, while the teachers from the Tianji Academy were lined up with papers covered in dense writing.

It was as if the teacher was in an academy, guiding his students through their confusion.

Xiao Yang, looking completely bewildered, asked Da Lei, "Da Lei, what is the Prince doing? Wasn't he instructing them to repair the workshops and equipment? Why is he giving them a lecture?"

Da Lei chuckled and said to Xiao Yang, "That's normal. Our prince never plays by the rules..."

Xiao Yang smiled and nodded immediately.

Then he looked at the mad Taoist priest who was following beside him. This mad Taoist priest seemed to have stopped being mad at this moment.

At this moment, the Mad Taoist was beside Xiao Ce, listening very carefully.

Xiao Yang asked Da Lei, "Da Lei, look at that person, he seems to really understand..."

Da Lei looked at Xiao Yang, who was speaking sarcastically to the side, and said, "If you're envious, you can go over and listen. The prince won't kick you out."

Xiao Yang glanced at Da Lei: "Da Lei, why do I get the feeling that you have pretty good feelings for him?"

Da Lei didn't mince words at all, saying to Xiao Yang, "Because my intuition tells me that this person is genuinely here to help the Prince?"

Xiao Yang scoffed, "Did you help? Didn't you just spout nonsense after you got here?"

Da Lei said to Xiao Yang, "He at least brought a prescription for Xiaoyao Pill. You and I both saw it. This prescription played a significant role in controlling those Japanese people. We also used the Japanese people to trick Tojo Koichi and get them to transport a batch of grain, relieving Xiao Kingdom's urgent food shortage."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Xiao Yang nodded, agreeing that what he said made sense.

"Then I'm relieved!" he said, noticing Da Lei looking at him.

Xiao Yang said with a slight displeasure, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you also suspect me...? Even my imperial brother..."

Da Lei said to Xiao Yang, "Don't be guilty... I just wanted to look at you..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yang gave an awkward smile, then said to Da Lei, "I am an upright and honest person..."

As Xiao Yang spoke, he realized that talking to Da Lei was pointless.

Xiao Yang wanted to go up and listen, but he could understand everything they were saying.

However, when these words were put together, he couldn't understand them.

So I simply sat down on the side and waited.

Xiao Ce stayed there, answering their questions until evening, and finished answering the last person's questions!

Xiao Ce stretched and watched as those who had finished asking their questions went back to calculating.

Liao Sen stepped forward, his face filled with gratitude, and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, thank you so much this time. Your answer has saved us at least several months..."

Xiao Ce smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "I didn't consider this when I was writing those books. Alright, it's getting late... let everyone go and rest."

Seeing Liao Sen give an awkward smile, he didn't move.

Xiao Ce asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Liao Sen said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, the people here usually stay up until they can't hold on any longer... especially after we realized the gap between us and the people outside..."

“You’re right. If we fall behind, we’ll be bullied. We carry the expectations of the entire nation on our shoulders. We eat the best food and receive the most money. We must live up to this treatment!”

As Liao Sen was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Ce.

"By the way, Your Highness...you...you didn't come here to answer our questions, did you? You've made us travel all this way, there must be something for us to do."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Of course..."

Seeing Liao Sen's curious expression, Xiao Ce said to Liao Sen, "Alright, I won't say anything more today!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ce clapped his hands, but the concentration of these people was truly remarkable.

They didn't even look up.

Liao Sen took out a whistle, blew it once, and then...

Only then did these people put down their pens.

Xiao Ce said to these people, "It's getting late. I now order you to go and rest!"

It was clear that none of the group wanted to leave.

Xiao Ce said to them, "You should know that too much of a good thing is bad. Your minds need a rest... As the saying goes, sharpening your axe won't delay your work! You need to get some sleep to ensure your minds are clear."

"You don't have to endure this anymore. I'm here, so if you have any problems, you can come to me immediately! However, I have one order: you cannot work more than six hours a day."

Actually, Xiao Ce originally wanted to say four hours, an eight-hour system.

However, according to Liao Sen, they usually work seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen hours a day.

If so, making them work only eight hours a day would be tantamount to punishing them.

In fact, those who are able to enter the Tianji Academy are all exceptionally talented and have an extreme passion for this kind of knowledge.

Seeing that no one responded, Xiao Ce added, "That's an order! Go and rest now!"

Seeing everyone's reluctance, Liao Sen unleashed a powerful move: "If you don't obey the Prince's orders, none of you are qualified to consult the Prince!"

Liao Sen understood them better, and that's why he said that.

These people agreed at first, and then went to sleep.

Liao Sen was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.

"Your Highness, I'll go and rest now. I'll come back tomorrow to ask you what we need to do?"

Xiao Ce nodded and told him to go and rest.

After saying that, Xiao Ce prepared to leave.

As he left, he could already hear the sounds of snoring coming from inside.

They were really exhausted.

Seeing Xiao Yang's aggrieved look, Xiao Ce followed behind him.

"Xiao Yang, what's wrong with you? You look like a wilted eggplant."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang felt a little more invigorated.

Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, I'm fine..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Da Lei recounted how he had just confronted Xiao Yang.

After listening, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't listen to him, I trust you! Da Lei's opinion doesn't count in this matter."

Seeing that Xiao Ce was still trying to coax him, Xiao Yang felt even more uncomfortable.

“Brother, I’m not upset because of what Da Lei said… I’m upset because of what he said about that mad Taoist priest helping you. But it seems like I’ve always been the one getting help from you, and I’ve never helped you!”

Seeing this, Xiao Ce chuckled, "I thought something serious had happened. You didn't help me? Who helped me during the encirclement when we took over Xiao Kingdom? Alright, stop being so dramatic! If you were truly a useless piece of trash, would I still keep you by my side?"

"I'm not the kind of person who can tolerate injustice! Besides, if you were truly a useless piece of trash, would I have made you the emperor of this Fusang Kingdom?"

"Let me tell you, be more confident! You've been with me for quite a while now. I don't need to explain the reasons to you, do I? Don't waste your time and energy. Thinking only creates problems; just do it, and you'll find the answers!"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang's eyes lit up: "Brother, you're right. Thinking only leads to problems, while doing only leads to solutions! I understand!"

Seeing Xiao Yang's excited expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said nothing more.

Because he has already said enough today.

I'm really tired.

When he got back, he had a good night's sleep.

He slept in late, which was quite rare for him, and when he woke up, Liao Sen was already there.

Xiao Ce then invited Liao Sen to have breakfast with him.

During breakfast, Xiao Ce explained the plan to repair the wreckage of the machines.

"Of course, restoration may be very difficult. If it cannot be fully restored, you should try to draw up the blueprints you know!"

Liao Sen nodded. "Your Highness, you said there are wreckage on those machines, right?"

"That's right. Because they destroyed things in different ways, the degree of damage to the various wreckages varies."

Liao Sen, however, was confident: "Your Highness, leave that to us. We'll find a way. After all, the Western scientists you found for us this time brought over quite a few blueprints... We won't let you down..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Alright, then just tell me what you need. We'll provide you with resources not only from Fusang, but from the entire Xiao Kingdom. Also, you don't need to do any work that can be done by others... You should focus on your duties as much as possible!"

Liao Sen smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness, I understand. We are here to follow your arrangements."
