Zhu Jingwen's thought at this time was that he wished Xu Mo could stay in Fengzhou for the rest of his life.
With such a backer, he is already over fifty years old, so why not live in peace and happiness?
Just when Zhu Jingwen was happily thinking about the future, his servant shouted loudly:
"Master Xu, here we come."
The officials all stood up collectively and welcomed Mr. Xu's arrival with smiling faces.
"Master Xu, you are here."
"Master Xu, you can be busy with your work. I can come back some other time. We can't delay Master Xu."
Everyone's admiration for Xu Mo was like an endless stream of water.
Xu Mo smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter. Today is also a good day for you to reimburse your money. I have to come."
With that said, Xu Mo came to the center of the lobby.
At this time.
The officials all saw Qin Xiao next to Xu Mo, who looked like an old farmer and was dressed like a merchant, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
They were all thinking that if they could come with Xu Mo, this person must be extraordinary.
Everyone was also surprised to find out.
Unlike other businessmen who were fawning and humble when meeting officials, Qin Xiao's expression did not change, and he did not feel condescending at all.
But everyone took a few more glances and stopped paying attention.
Only Zhu Jingwen looked horrified, his hands and feet were cold, and he looked straight at Qin Xiao with horrified eyes.
Fortunately, he held on to the desk, otherwise he would have collapsed on the spot.
Qin Xiao also felt Zhu Jingwen's gaze and looked towards him.
Eyes facing each other.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Zhu Jingwen was absolutely certain that this old farmer and businessman was none other than Qin Xiao, His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
There are two people in the world who look alike, but they definitely don’t look exactly the same.
"Emperor, emperor..."
Zhu Jingwen's mouth was trembling as he murmured what he wanted to say.
Qin Xiao showed a smile on his face, walked quickly towards Zhu Jingwen, and intercepted Zhu Jingwen's words: "Isn't this Mr. Zhu? I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"I didn't expect to meet again in Fengzhou. You and I are really destined!"
"Hey, you won't forget me, right? I'm Boss Qin from the capital."
Qin Xiao's eyes were full of meaning as he stared at Zhu Jingwen.
Zhu Jingwen had been an official for most of his life. If he still didn't know Qin Xiao's intentions, he might as well have killed him with a piece of tofu.
Your Majesty, this is a hint to him, and his identity cannot be revealed.
However, there was no news at all. Why did the emperor suddenly come to Fengzhou? !
Zhu Jingwen was panicked in his heart and reluctantly put on a smile: "Yes, you said it is fate, it is really fate."
"How about we have a good time together when Boss Qin is free?"
Qin Xiao had a smile on his face: "Definitely!"
"At that time, we had a great time drinking till we got drunk. Mr. Zhu, you can't break the promise!"
At this time.
Qin Xiao had already walked to Zhu Jingwen's side and held Zhu Jingwen tightly with his big hands, as if he was really an old friend reunited.
Zhu Jingwen's heart felt slightly settled, but he still looked confused.
Looking at Qin Xiao next to him, he couldn't figure out why his majesty appeared in Fengzhou. !
How could His Majesty come here for business?
There must be something big and important.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingwen became panicked again.
Zhu Jingwen kept thinking in his mind.
Seeing that the two people knew each other, Xu Mo laughed heartily:
"It turns out that the two of you have known each other for a long time. Mr. Zhu was also a Beijing official before!"
"Master Zhu is well-informed. He even knows Mr. Qin. I admire him."
"As expected of a senior official of our dynasty."
As he spoke, Xu Mo slapped Zhu Jingwen on the shoulder vigorously, almost knocking Zhu Jingwen down who was already feeling guilty.
Zhu Jingwen waved his hands hurriedly: "There is no need to mention the past things again."
"Today's Fengzhou depends entirely on Mr. Xu's planning."
"Under Mr. Xu's various policies, the lives of the common people are getting better day by day."
As a veteran of the court, Zhu Jingwen's ability to be versatile is not to mention.
The first thing is to pick it out yourself first, and then push Xu Mo out.
If anything happens, it's Xu Mo's responsibility. The emperor wants to blame it, but Zhu Jingwen has nothing to do with it.
However, Zhu Jingwen himself also knew that the emperor had come in person, so it would not be easy to escape.
Qin Xiao was even more unhappy when he saw the two complimenting each other more than once or twice.
"Is there anything important that would require all the officials from Fengzhou to be present?"
"Is there a big deal? Can I hear it?"
Hear this.
Zhu Jingwen's heart almost stopped beating and his face turned pale.
Damn it, he just remembered that today is a good day for Xu Mo to make money.
Xu Mo didn't know anything about it and said with a smile:
"We really have something serious to do today, let's stop talking nonsense."
"Now that the business is done, you two can continue talking about old times."
After speaking, Xu Mo waved his hand.
Immediately, a servant came over with a brocade box on a tray and placed the brocade box on the table.
Xu Mo opened it, and it was filled with a thick stack of banknotes. Everyone who saw it held their breath.
Of course, everyone was excited, only Zhu Jingwen was scared to death.
Xu Mo patted the banknotes and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't just look at it, hurry up and reimburse last month's expenses!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in Fengzhou lit up with excitement and joy.
Qin Xiao's expression changed when he saw those banknotes.
The pile of banknotes was at least several hundred taels, and the total amount would not be less than 200,000 taels.
At Xu Mo's home, all the officials from Fengzhou were present. What did they want to do?
soon.
The action of an official stepping forward made Qin Xiao completely understand.
The official held a note in his hand and handed it over: "Master Xu, I didn't have much last month, only one thousand taels."
Xu Mo glanced at the note and said with an expression of hatred: "Hey, you have to work hard this month!"
"I only paid so much!"
After muttering, he handed the man a thousand taels of silver.
The official's face was full of smiles: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your teaching. I will reimburse you at least two thousand taels next month."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao's eyes shot towards him like sharp arrows. .
If looks could kill, I'm afraid this official would be killed countless times by Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao estimated that Xu Mo must be dividing the spoils.
They were still officials from Fengzhou, and they divided the spoils in a vicious manner.
Although Qin Xiao wanted to shout loudly and capture them all.
However, you still have to be patient.
Bear with me any longer.
He wanted to see how much money the officials of Fengzhou, big and small, had distributed.
The official carefully put away the banknote, not noticing Qin Xiao's murderous eyes at all.
"Next."
Xu Mo shouted to the officials with a smile.
"The reward for a humble position is five thousand taels."
An official said loudly and confidently, and raised his own list with a very proud expression.
