Su Mo sighed helplessly, "Then what are you doing here this time?"
"It's a long story." Liu Nian looked very interested, but he coughed twice and said in riddle to Su Mo, "I'm just a little thirsty, I don't know where to start..."
Su Mo nodded, but did not respond, looking indifferent.
Liu Nian looked at the calm look, struggled for a long time, and then asked: "Aren't you curious? Don't want to know?"
Su Mo shook his head, "I don't want to know."
Liu Nian twitched the corner of his mouth, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, you serve me the wine, and I will tell you."
Su Mo still shook his head, "You haven't paid the money last time..."
Liu Nian was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Mo angrily, "Why are you so stingy? Are you short of silver?"
"Believe it or not..." Liu Nian was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Believe it or not, I sent troops to break your peach branches?"
Su Mo nodded, "I believe it, but they can't defeat it all."
There is the power of all spirits on the peach mountain, and if it is broken, it will grow back.
Liu Nian was so angry that his hand pointing at Su Mo kept shaking...
Feng Zun on the side looked at Liu Nian and laughed. It's been a long time since she's seen Liu Nian acting so recklessly.
As a human emperor, Liu Nian rarely showed such a loss of dignity in front of outsiders.
People like them are destined to have few friends.
She could see that Liu Nian seemed to have no restrictions on his status in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo was extremely calm when facing them. There is no such caution as the world sees them, and no such flattery.
They met several times but seemed to have become good friends.
Xiao Xuanji on the side looked at Liu Nian's angry look, sighed like a little adult, shook his little head and turned around to go down to the attic.
Not long after, Xiao Xuanji returned to the attic with a jar of wine.
"Here comes the wine..."
Liu Nian looked at Xiao Xuanji and immediately beamed, "Look, this is called a pattern!"
"I am the Human Emperor, can I still give you less money?"
“Next time I come, I’ll definitely bring it with me!”
Su Mo looked at the sake brought by Xiao Xuanji and smiled helplessly...it was another waste of two jars.
Xiao Xuanji still put the wine on the table and sat next to Su Mo. This time Liu Nian was not polite and fell down himself.
After drinking a large bowl, Liu Nian breathed out a sigh of relief, "Since I drank your wine, let me talk to you."
Su Mo glanced at Liu Nian, poured a bowl for himself, and poured another bowl for Feng Zun, and drank slowly without paying attention to Liu Nian.
Liu Nian didn't care and said to himself: "Weren't you looking for that 'Confucian sage' before?"
"I've been looking for someone to inquire recently..."
He glanced at Su Mo, but Su Mo still looked normal.
However, Xiao Xuanji immediately looked at Liu Nian curiously, only to hear Liu Nian continue to speak, "But, although I sent people to keep searching, I also sent people to check countless classics..."
"Still not found!"
Su Mo shook his head, as if he already knew this.
However, Liu Nian felt a little warm in his heart when he quietly went to help him find someone.
Liu Nian turned to look at Feng Zun, who shrugged. Liu Nian continued helplessly: "Does the person you are looking for really exist? Or..."
"These two words sound like just a name. Do you have his real name? I'll go look for it for you!"
Su Mo was silent and seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but then sighed: "I can't remember his name clearly. Someone seemed to have told me about it, but I forgot it."
Liu Nian's mouth twitched. Can he forget this?
"Or are there other characteristics?"
Su Mo recalled the remnants of the Confucian saint he met several times in the Nine Heavens Divine Realm, and spoke according to the old appearance in his memory.
"White clothes and white hair, elegant and easy-going. He looks indifferent, but in fact he is a bit sinister."
"Born in the world of mortals, he entered Taoism through Confucianism and liked to play chess."
"His cultivation is as high as the sky, and he is good at layout..."
Su Mo talked about the appearance of some Confucian saints in their memories. The more Liu Nian and Feng Zun listened, the more wrong they became. Even Xiao Xuanji looked sideways at Su Mo.
When Su Mo finished speaking, the attic fell into silence.
Liu Nian looked at Su Mo, struggling for a long time, and then cautiously said: "Isn't the person you are looking for yourself?"
Xiao Xuanji nodded immediately. After all, the person Su Mo described was Su Mo himself.
White-clothed and white-haired, born in the world of mortals, he entered Taoism through Confucianism, liked to play chess, had astonishing cultivation skills, and was good at planning...everything was the same as Su Mo.
The only thing that is uncertain is being born in the world of mortals.
But Xiao Xuanji knew that his senior brother was the Lord of the human world, the emperor of the three realms, Pei Min'an!
The Lord of the human world is naturally born into the world of mortals.
Su Mo sighed and shook his head, "It's not me..."
Although he resembles a Confucian sage, he knows that he is not a Confucian sage.
He had seen the remnant soul of the Confucian saint. It was a scholar who had a heart for the common people, but it was not him.
His appearance is different from that of the Confucian sage!
It's just that the few remnant souls of Confucian sages that I encountered back then were so remnant that they seemed unable to remember what happened during their lifetimes, and they didn't even know why.
We are looking for a Confucian sage just because he, like Su Mo, has a holy realm and is the most critical person in this reincarnation...
Liu Nian looked at Su Mo's denial and nodded helplessly, "Okay, wait until I get back and issue the next Saint Search Order. If anyone has seen the person you are talking about, I will tell you."
Su Mo nodded slightly, "Thank you!"
Liu Nian immediately smiled and said, "Can it be paid for the wine?"
Su Mo shook his head, "No!"
Liu Nian's smile froze on his face, and Feng Zun beside him couldn't help laughing anymore.
Several people continued to drink wine and did not feel bored.
The moonlight rose again, and Liu Nian was drunk again, with a frown on his face unconsciously.
Su Mo looked at Liu Nian's expression and asked slowly: "Is there anything bothering you?"
Liu Nian nodded and drank the wine in the glass, "Yes!"
"These years have been plagued by disasters and the people are in poverty. I obviously had good intentions and distributed the money from the national treasury to the people, but I found that it was of no use."
"More money flows to the people, but they find that the money has become worthless."
"No matter what, it seems that the root causes of poverty have not been solved..."
Su Mo sighed and shook his head, "Silver is just a secular exchange of equal value, a painful thing in barter."
"The root of the problem is that resources in the world are limited. Even if you give them money, it will be of no use!"
"Moreover, it's easy to get money, and it's also easy to spend it."
When Liu Nian thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
"What should we do?"
Su Mo looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, as if he was resisting and didn't want to take care of it, but for some reason he still came up with a solution.
"You issue work orders and let people plant crops, and you pay money on time."
"Open the treasury again, and people can use the silver they earn under your working hours to buy food from your treasury."
"You can collect the food grown under the working hours order and return it to the national treasury."
"Let self-sufficiency turn into paying money on time, so that even if the weather is unfavorable and there is no output, the people will be willing."
"As for the poor harvest due to disasters and the state's treasury failing to make ends meet, I think you have a way to solve it."
