Qin Xiao was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke.
He rubbed the list in his hand to pieces, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few more times without feeling relieved.
The people around him, including the eldest princess, were afraid.
The emperor is very angry.
"Are you going to force me to behead all the officials in Fengzhou?"
Hearing Qin Xiao's gloomy words, Yang Da wanted to bury his head in the ground and didn't dare to move.
He was afraid that Qin Xiao would operate on him first.
Qin Xiao was angry because the officials' behavior was too indifferent.
Where in the world do officials visit the brothels together? !
Is this to form a local trend?
"Everyone, from generals to sergeants, come here to visit brothels. Do they still know that they are soldiers and they want to protect their families and the country?"
Qin Xiao let out a thundering roar.
I was extremely disappointed.
"These officials have become so virtuous, why do I keep them?"
"These people have become greedy and do nothing. Sooner or later they will become a local cancer. It is better to eliminate them as soon as possible!"
Qin Xiao's murderous intentions were revealed.
This is no joke. Qin Xiao has gathered great power and killed a group of officials, which is nothing to him.
Yang Da had a feeling that Qin Xiao would order the arrest of these officials soon.
At this time, Yang Da would never dare to say anything, and only the eldest princess would dare to give him any advice.
"Father, please calm down for the time being. There may be some hidden secrets in this matter. Is it necessary to make a conclusion after a thorough investigation..."
The eldest princess persuaded boldly.
Qin Xiao was already overwhelmed by anger.
His eyes were scarlet and he said angrily: "The evidence is here, what else do they have to hide? Are they visiting brothels for the sake of the country and the people?"
"Or, the errands they are responsible for must be done in the brothel?"
The eldest princess reminded:
"Father, before, regarding the grain harvesting case in Yunzhou, we almost misunderstood all the officials in Yunzhou."
The eldest princess briefly gave an example from not long ago.
Qin Xiao almost arrested a good official as a corrupt one.
And this time.
All the officials in Fengzhou visited brothels. It sounds ridiculous.
But with lessons learned from the past, there may not be hidden secrets.
Qin Xiao tried his best to suppress his anger.
After thinking rationally, he said, "Then I will give Xu Mo a chance to explain."
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief: "Father is right."
In an instant, the pressure like a thunderstorm dissipated, and only then did Yang Da dare to breathe a little loudly.
If the emperor still refuses to calm down, he may suffocate himself to death here.
Qin Xiao couldn't wait any longer and ordered Yang Da to prepare the carriage.
Yang Da hurriedly went to prepare.
However, when Qin Xiao and his party arrived at Xu Mo's residence, they were stopped again.
"To do business with Mr. Xu, five hundred taels of silver, and for work, one thousand taels."
The doorman stretched out his hand:
"Pay the money first, and then see Mr. Xu."
Qin Xiao and the eldest princess looked at each other speechlessly.
I used to live in Chong County.
Going to see Xu Mo is far from enough.
Now, Xu Mo has been promoted, and his expenses have increased accordingly.
It doubled many times in a row!
But Qin Xiao had dealt with Xu Mo several times.
Xu Mo's rules only allowed him to kill some people he didn't know were taken advantage of.
Qin Xiao is confident now.
"Go and tell Mr. Xu that Mr. Qin from the capital is here and he will definitely want to see us."
The gatekeeper rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "There are so many people who want to see Mr. Xu."
"It doesn't matter what you do, Mr. Qin or Mr. Li. If you don't pay, don't even think about crossing this door."
The gatekeeper felt that Qin Xiao was too bad at rules.
Otherwise, there would be no money at all.
The eldest princess also said: "You go and report that if Mr. Xu doesn't come to see us, we are willing to give you money immediately."
"But if you delay Mr. Xu's important matters, be careful that you won't be able to bear it."
The gatekeeper saw that the eldest princess was very impressive.
There was some drumming in my heart: "Then, just wait."
after awhile.
Xu Mo walked out with a smile on his face, followed by the frightened janitor.
The gatekeeper really didn't expect that Mr. Xu, who used to be dismissive of outsiders, would rush out to greet Mr. Qin when he heard that he was coming.
Unexpectedly, that old man who looks inconspicuous is actually a big shot? !
Xu Mo greeted Qin Xiao warmly.
"Mr. Qin, oops, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."
"This made me think that you were going to stop after making a little fortune!"
Qin Xiao glared angrily.
"Are you kidding? Compared with Mr. Xu's business, the Liuli business is not worth mentioning."
Xu Mo raised his head and laughed:
"Master Qin really has something on his mind. Okay, let's go inside and talk."
After entering the main room and sitting down, Xu Mo immediately brought up the matter of doing business at sea.
Xu Mo asked Qin Xiao: "That day, Miss Qin and your young master said they wanted to go back and ask the old man for instructions."
"Master, have you thought it through clearly?"
"I'm just telling you, the profit from this maritime trade is at least dozens of times higher than that from the glass business."
Qin Xiao's eyes were red and his ears were hot.
Anyway, who doesn’t like free money?
When the army goes to sea to eliminate banditry, it can also take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Is there anything better than this?
Xu Mo glanced at Qin Xiao's expression and knew that Qin Xiao was a little tempted.
"Okay, how about you listen to my plan first?"
Qin Xiao followed and nodded.
"When doing things, do it step by step."
Xu Mo continued: "If we want to go to sea, we must first get a ship that can go to sea, right? Only when we have a ship can we transport goods."
"There are many islands in the sea, and there are many small countries scattered all over. If we bring out some rare specialties and good goods, we can sell them at a sky-high price."
"Don't talk about silk, let's talk about colored glaze. If this kind of batch of handicrafts are sold as treasures to the royal families abroad, do you think the price can be ten times or a hundred times higher?"
Qin Xiao became even more tempted after hearing this and forgot the purpose of his trip for a while.
But Qin Xiao thought about it.
Xu Mo said that it was not just about making money through trade, but also about getting rid of pirates.
Getting rid of pirates is not an easy thing to do.
Qin Xiao became solemn: "The trading plan is quite good, but there is one thing that is not easy to handle."
Xu Mo asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"Caravans going out to sea on a large scale will only attract the attention of pirates more easily, and they will gain an advantage in vain."
"Moreover, it has attracted coastal pirates who are entrenched nearby, and the people are afraid that they will suffer even more."
"If we are targeted by pirates, the caravan business will not be successful. How can we make money?"
Xu Mo nodded clearly and patted his chest:
"So you're worried about this."
"It's easy to say. I have already thought of a countermeasure."
Qin Xiao was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "What good idea do you have?"
Xu Mo lowered his voice mysteriously:
"I have a special training method for pirates."
