Su Mo looked at Xi Ruo, who was a little eager to try, and said seriously: "Wait a minute, no matter what happens inside, you don't want to make a move." ”

Xi Ruo immediately puffed up when she heard this.

Su Mo straightened his clothes, and then got up and walked to the Household Office.

As soon as he reached the main entrance, he was stopped by two sergeants. Su Mo took out the nameplate as usual and waved it in front of the two, and after putting it away casually, he was ready to step directly inside.

What he didn't expect was that although the two sergeants behind his nameplate had a difficult face, they didn't mean to back down.

The two of them first performed a salute, and then said: "Su Shouyu, Chen Shangshu said, can I let you in." ”

Su Mo didn't have the slightest anger on his face, he just asked the two of them calmly: "Chen Shangshu is a third-grade official, and he is not a talent in the lower ranks, but he is only a third-grade official."

However, the law of the Great Yuan seems to have a clear stipulation that as long as you meet an official who is not lower than your own three ranks, you must salute. I just want to ask, where has your Chen Shangshu gone now?"

One couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what Su Shouyu is looking for Chen Shangshu?"

Su Mo smiled slightly, and did not hide it: "Naturally, I want to ask Chen Shangshu for this gift." ”

Su Mo did not hide the wit in his words at all, although Chen Shangshu was considered a civil official, but now it was the Qiyuan calendar after all. If you are a humble gentleman according to the customs of the old Zhou, I am afraid that you will only be looked down upon by the people here.

Moreover, it is not enough to rely on humility to deal with things this time, and since sooner or later you will have to use forces other than etiquette, you might as well be tough at the beginning.

The two of them were really shocked, and one of them said a little hesitantly: "How can we see Shangshu if you want to see it......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a mysterious fluctuation emerge from Su Mo's body, shaking him back two steps.

Before he could react, he saw a white shadow pass in front of him.

The man was about to chase after him any longer, but was stopped by his companion and said, "Are you crazy?

The man blushed a little and exclaimed, "But...... Fighting is not allowed in Kyoto. You can see it, he was the first to strike. Why don't we take this opportunity to join him?"

The companion sighed, "If he had such a good reference, then he would not have been appointed as a guardian."

And did you just see him make a move? All I saw was that you took two steps back. ”

The companion's last words woke up from the dream: "Don't forget, this one can be confronted by the one on the stargazing platform, and we usually don't have time to hide." ”

The man nodded a little fearfully, and asked sneeringly, "Then let's let this one in like this, in case ......"

The companion shook his head and woke up, "Didn't you already come forward to stop it, but you just couldn't stop it." It's not a war, it's not a war. ”

......

When Su Mo came to the office, he ignored the vigilant gazes of the people around him, but looked directly at a place on the top and said loudly: "Your Excellency who is hiding there must be Chen Shangshu, and Su Zi'an, the guardian of Kyoto, is here to pay a visit." ”

There was no so-called Chen Shangshu coming out.

Su Mo didn't care, and still stuck in place. Several people in official robes around were already impatient, and after a long time, one of them stepped forward and saluted: "Su Shouyu, right, our Shangshu has official business to do outside today, I'm afraid you will not be able to come to visit tomorrow." ”

Su Mo looked at the man, shook his sleeves and saluted back: "Your Excellency, don't be empty-mouthed, you Shangshu can just stay on top." ”

The man frowned, and was about to say something, but he felt a strong sense of glancing over him.

Although the glance was only fleeting, he couldn't help but take two steps back. looked at Su Mo with some surprise.

Su Mo no longer looked at him, but looked at the place again and asked, "I don't know if Lord Shangshu, can I have a good talk with Mo now." ”

"I didn't expect Su Shouyu to be a Fourth Realm cultivator at a young age. This is only in Dayuan, and there is such a handsome man as Su Shouyu. If it was in the old Zhou when Taoism was prevalent, I don't know how many young talents like Su Shouyu would come out. ”

Su Mo looked at the old man who walked out of the shadows, knowing that he was misunderstood by the divine thoughts he had released. However, he didn't break it, but just asked leisurely: "I don't know what Master Shangshu thinks is the advantage or disadvantage of having so many young talents?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Shangshu replied: "If there are so many rising stars, it is gratifying, but if there are all like Su Shouyu, it will not be good." ”

Su Mo didn't get angry when he heard this, but asked with a smile, "I want to hear it." ”

Chen Shangshu looked at Su Mo seriously and replied: "Su Shouyu is too good, excellent people are always a little conceited, I am afraid that they will make some overstep moves, which is not conducive to the peace of the whole country." ”

Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly: "Chen Shangshu's words are wrong, Dayuan is proud of martial arts from the Holy Emperor to Buyi. The way of practicing martial arts is to pay attention to not sticking out of the legs when you should punch, and never hiding the edge when you should use the weapon. Horizontal is horizontal, vertical is vertical. Ask yourself if you always follow the law. However, Chen Shangshu said that he was overstepping the rules, is there any rule that is unwritten?"

Chen Shangshu opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.

Su Mo shook his head and said lightly: "I came to the household department this time just for one thing.

By checking the files of the past, it has been calculated that from the disappearance of the previous Shouyu to the accession to the throne not long ago, it was a total of 98 years, 7 months and 21 days. According to the law of the Great Yuan, if an official does not return to Kyoto for performance appraisal within three years, he or she is automatically deemed to have left his post.

Then removing the three-year period from these years, and then removing the fraction, it seems that the household department has seized the money for the next ninety-five years. ”

Ninety-five years...... Chen Shangshu almost brushed off his beard, although he already knew that Su Mo would come to ask for a good fortune, but he guessed that Su Mo was a weak crown, and his foundation in Kyoto was very thin, in order to have a good relationship with the household, at most, he would only ask for a year or two of a little bit of money.

He didn't think that Su Mo would really say no about it, and he would ask him for nearly a hundred years.

Although the benefits of guarding this position are reflected in power rather than in Yulu, and every year's Yulu can only be regarded as a small rich, but the ninety-five-year-old Yulu wants him to pay it off at once, and I am afraid that he will not be able to pay off the entire household after selling.

Seeing that Chen Shangshu didn't speak, those people immediately understood. One of them stepped forward and saluted: "Su Shouyu, when I wanted to leave the first Shouyu, we Chen Shangshu had not yet managed this place. I'm afraid that Shouyu will have to go to the previous Shangshu to ask for money. ”

Su Mo looked at him with a smile and said, "The Hubu Shangshu may have changed a lot, but the Hubu has always existed. ”

The implication of Su Mo's words is already obvious, since the Yulu has been seized in the household department from the beginning, then it is natural that the household department will come up with this Yulu now, no matter how many terms Shangshu has passed here.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other person immediately stepped forward and said: "Su Shouyu, it was during the period of the Great Yuan Fluctuation, and it was actually understandable to embezzle a part of the Yulu. Otherwise, where will the materials for supporting the army and building the city wall come from, and I hope that the guardian can think carefully from the perspective of the general righteousness. ”

This person spoke even more absolutely, directly rejecting Su Mo's request from the height of righteousness, and even had some meaning of reprimanding Su Mo.

Su Mo said calmly: "What Your Excellency said is not bad, it was indeed the period of the Great Yuan at that time, but isn't this the period of the Great Yuan being in turmoil?

Besides, Zai Xia is not that unreasonable person, didn't he just say that he has eliminated a part of the fraction, and that part of the money can be regarded as the dedication of Dayuan at that time?"

The person who spoke only felt ridiculous, he had the heart to accuse Su Mo of being too stingy, and only said that his dedication was a fraction of that part, if he offered it all, it would be a lot less trouble.

But he couldn't say these words, and it was considered a sentiment for officials to alleviate the national crisis, and it was their duty not to show it. You can't blame others for not doing a good job in terms of affection, and this has nothing to do with laws and regulations.

Chen Shangshu also sighed secretly when he saw his subordinates so frustrated, he knew that the young man in front of him did not have the same impulse as he imagined to come here, he had already prepared.

Since it is impossible to let him take the initiative to give up these things, it is better to agree to him.

But how to promise him, you can also do something in the middle.

Chen Shangshu stretched out his hand to stop a few of his subordinates who were about to step forward. He looked at Su Mo with his somewhat cloudy old eyes, and after looking at it again, he said a little coldly: "Su Shouyu is worthy of being Su Shouyu, not only is his cultivation extremely high, but his thinking ability is also beyond ordinary people."

Please also rest assured that the ninety-five years of Yulu will be paid off by the household department. It's just that the number of them is too large, and I'm afraid it won't be clear for a while. I also asked Su Shouyu to give some time and wait for the household department to make good preparations. ”

Su Mo only sneered in his heart when he heard this, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy. This Chen Shangshu didn't speak, but when he opened his mouth, it was the most common and thin mud. It's hard to refute anything, after all, this person also agreed on the surface.

As for setting this time limit, Su Mo didn't have the slightest idea, he was sure that even if he gave these people another ninety-five years, he would probably get the same rhetoric when he came here.

Su Mo immediately said: "Naturally, the sooner the better." ”

Chen Shangshu saluted and said, "Do your best." ”

Su Mo smiled, raised his sleeves and returned the salute, and walked out.

Seeing Su Mo walking away, the few people around Chen Shangshu stepped forward and asked a little nervously, "Lord Shangshu, do you really want to give that kid a gift?"

Chen Shangshu shook his head and instructed them: "They will all go to their respective duties, this Su Shouyu is not a stupid person, it is better for us to be careful." ”
