"Here, bring me a cold drink, I'm thirsty!"
"Yes, sir!" The maid on the side bowed respectfully.
Xu Mo acted as if there was no one around, crossed his legs, hummed a little tune and waited.
It was as if Qin Xiao and others did not exist.
Now, he has to quench his thirst for all the big questions.
soon.
The maid came with a large glass of juice.
Qin Xiao's eyes widened.
That cup was actually made of transparent glass. In addition to the juice, there were also ice cubes in the glass!
Xu Mo took a deep breath, not to mention how comfortable it was.
This is autumn, and Magistrate Dog is so extravagant that he even prepared ice cubes.
Seeing that Xu Mo never had the idea of talking to them.
Qin Xiao's expression turned extremely ugly.
Qin Xiao's heart was constantly burning, if he could drink such a sip of ice-cold juice.
How beautiful that would be.
Damn Xu Mo.
He didn't even bother to give me half a cup!
hateful!
After I collect the witnesses and physical evidence, I must search Xu Mo's home!
Xu Mo drank the refreshing juice and glanced at Qin Xiao and others from the corner of his eyes.
After a while, he stopped with satisfaction and smacked his lips: "A guy who has never seen the world."
"..."
How unreasonable!
Qin Xiao slapped the table, we can't bear it anymore.
Feng Ying was the first to smile at Xu Mo and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong."
"You may not know our origins."
Xu Mo laughed when he heard this: "What are your origins?"
Feng Ying quietly looked at Qin Xiao and saw that Qin Xiao was noncommittal.
He then added: "We are imperial merchants, and we are still members of the emperor."
"I came here to see what good business there is."
Xu Mo was stunned immediately after hearing this.
Royal merchant? Do you want to do business with yourself?
His reaction was not that he was afraid of the other party's background.
But...
Wouldn't that be a killing blow?
Xu Mo smiled happily.
For a moment, he looked at Qin Xiao and others with loving eyes. The scene was like the Qingtian Master who loved his people like his own children. ,
It's as if the previous attitude never existed.
"That's it. You should have told me earlier."
"I'm so negligent, don't be offended, don't be offended!"
Xu Mo cupped his hands politely.
This face shocked Qin Xiao once again.
Feng Ying followed Qin Xiao's instructions and said with a smile: "The reason why my master had a bad attitude just now is because the case your Excellency judged today is not convincing."
Xu Mo asked: "Why?"
Feng Ying then expressed Qin Xiao's opinion.
Human life cannot be measured by money. It is the law of the country to kill people to pay for their lives.
After Xu Mo heard this, he looked at Qin Xiao and sighed in admiration:
"My father-in-law is really willing to make decisions for the people. It's so rare!"
"But after all, it's just the life of a troublesome person. You can just pay some money, so why do you have to be serious?"
Qin Xiao stood up and cursed loudly:
"How shameless! You are the local parent official."
"How can you judge the case so casually!"
"If the court and His Majesty find out, you will die without a burial place."
Seeing how furious he was, Xu Mo raised his hand to interrupt.
"Old father-in-law, since when did you royal relatives put the lives of unruly people in your eyes? Why do you want to embarrass me, a small county magistrate?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I made a mistake by accident, okay?"
Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard this.
Who the hell is this person?
Just now, Xu Mo relied on his status as county magistrate and ignored them.
I drank a whole glass of iced drinks without even bothering to order them.
But after hearing that he was from a royal family, he immediately groveled.
If only he knew he was the emperor.
It's not like he was scared out of his wits.
In Qin Xiao's mind, the scene of Xu Mo shouting for mercy already appeared.
Think of this.
Qin Xiao continued to ask: "As the head of a county, this is not the way for you to be an official."
Xu Mo asked smoothly: "Then what should I do?"
Qin Xiao stood up, raised his head, and said with a hint of complacency in his tone: "Today's Holy Master works hard all day long, worrying about the country and the people, and does not dare to slack off in big or small matters."
"The emperor is like this, and you, a seventh-grade county magistrate, can't learn from me?"
"In this way, it is not in vain to read poetry and serve the country."
Xu Mo didn't know Qin Xiao's identity and was speechless.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Really? But I don't think so! In my opinion, the emperor has confused the importance and only pays attention to small things and doesn't know how to deal with big things!"
Qin Xiao's mouth twitched.
I came up with the idea of raiding his house.
"Nonsense!"
"What important matter has the Emperor not dealt with?"
"Your Majesty has promulgated a national policy of recuperation, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, and severely punishing corruption!"
When Qin Xiao talked about severely punishing corruption, his tone increased and he gave Xu Mo a threatening look.
You are a typical greedy person.
but.
Qin Xiao suddenly shut up because he discovered that Xu Mo's expression became solemn.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "This guy must have felt guilty after hearing that corrupt officials were severely punished."
However!
Xu Mo quickly replied: "You know nothing!"
"..."
Qin Xiao was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke.
Xu Mo didn't take an old man seriously and said to himself:
"Of course the policy is beautiful when it is stated, but the key is implementation. If it is not really implemented, what is the use?"
Qin Xiao heard what the other party said was useless. Gritting his teeth angrily.
"That's nonsense!"
"I came here from the capital. Along the way, I saw a large number of people owning fields and working all day long."
Xu Mo curled his lips: "Then have you looked at whether the people can have enough to eat?"
"this……"
Qin Xiao was speechless.
Xu Mo's face straightened and he said loudly: "In my opinion, the emperor's so-called policy of self-cultivation and rejuvenation is totally wrong."
Qin Xiao was stunned and blurted out: "Why do you say that?"
Xu Mo laughed loudly: "To truly serve the people, we don't mean to be aloof and set many rules, specifically asking the people to do this and not do that, making the government look like a nagging housekeeper."
At the beginning, Qin Xiao was afraid that the local government would distort the court's intention of self-cultivation, so he made very detailed regulations.
He was also proud of this and felt that he had done a great thing for the people.
Qin Xiao frowned: "Then tell me, what should I do?"
"We should focus on the source and use policies to guide people to do what they do, rather than imposing mandatory regulations."
Xu Mo said: "But what about the emperor? The people's food and clothing problem has never been solved. All day long, they only focus on trivial matters such as sesame seeds and mung beans, and hold officials accountable."
Qin Xiao was stunned.
"There is also a focus on agriculture and suppression of business."
Xu Mo mocked: "This national policy is even more problematic."
Qin Xiao felt panicked in his heart. Could it be that the policies he promulgated were really useless?
He couldn't help but raise his voice: "There is a lot of wealth in the world, and businessmen make huge profits. If they let them earn the money, the people will have less money, and naturally they will not have a good life!"
