Chapter 7 Knowing the Tree

Moyu continued to drink tea, wanting to continue to fight with her dishes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When the battle was finally over, Xiang Rong hiccuped indecently. Mo Yu smiled, thinking that she would have to prescribe a prescription when she went back in the evening, so that she could digest and digest it well, otherwise she would feel better tomorrow.

"Full?"

Xiang Rong nodded, not even having the strength to speak. Mo Yuqiao smiled, "Then let's rest for a while, there shouldn't be anything to buy, and when you're done, we'll go back." Xiang Rong still didn't have the strength, so he could only nod.

The little second brother came over, removed the dishes, dishes and chopsticks, changed the tea again, and added pastries. As soon as she saw the delicate pastries on the table, she had the motivation to wilt just now, and she reached out to take it, but the pastries were fished out by Moyu and taken away from her clutches.

Mo Yu looked at her pouting and shook her head in displeasure. "You can't eat any more today, if you eat any more, I'll have to hire someone to carry you back later!" Turning his head to look at the little second brother who was smiling beside him, he didn't mind, and ordered: "Trouble the little second brother to add another copy, pack it together, I'll take it away later!" The little second brother took the pastry in Mo Yu's hand and hurriedly went downstairs. Mo Yu looked back at the smiling face that wanted to smile again, and shook his head helplessly. How do you feel that she is a young lady!

You can't eat, but you still have to be comforted. "You can eat slowly when you go back."

"It's still Miss who is the best for me."

On a March afternoon, the warm sunshine is not as hot as a summer day, and it is very comfortable. There are customers coming to the store one after another, some of them are not dressed up in Zhou Guo, probably from the festival of praying for the gods!

It is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, words are indispensable to talk about. On a square table on the second floor of Sihai Building, there were four people around, chatting while munching melon seeds. And the sound of this chat pierced through the air and reached Moyu's ears.

"Hey, you say, will there be floods again this year, during the rainy season in April last year, there was a lot of water in many places, and many people died!" One of them began to speak.

The other person also picked up, with a slight helplessness in his voice. "No, I have a distant relative who went to me because the flood washed away the house."

"Pity the common people, and they are going to leave their homes again." Another man sighed.

Of course, there are also people who are more naΓ―ve, "Didn't the imperial court open a position and allocate funds for disaster relief?" ”

Someone replied angrily: "Disaster relief? The emperor allocated the silver and sent the messenger. It's a pity that there are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court, and there are few left in the hands of the people. ”

Some people wondered, "Then doesn't the emperor know?" ”

"Cut, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how can he know. Besides, the emperor of our Zhou State is still martial, if he still has money, he would rather stay to fight, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the common people. ”

Someone "shh

Mo Yu frowned slightly, this was indeed too bold, but what it said was also the truth. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, internal and external troubles continued, and there was such a group of officials in the court who hoarded his money all day long, which was really anxious. The people had a disaster and had to take care of it, but the foreign enemy invaded, and this battle had to be fought, but now the biggest problem is that there is no money. Without money, disaster relief and war have become empty words.

Xiang Rong leaned over and asked, "Miss, is there really a flood?" Will it flood us? ”

Mo Yu "poofed" and smiled, this girl is really a girl who has never seen the world in the mountains, if the water can flood the Guiyuan on Wuyan Mountain, then in this world, how can there be an inch of land for people to live in. "Don't worry, we'll never be flooded."

"Miss, does the flood really kill people?"

Yes, some people, while still asleep, were swept away by the flood and did not even wake up. There are people who struggle in the water, watching the huge waves that drown themselves, and no one will even hear the sound of shouting for help. Mo Yu looked at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, and said indifferently: "Yes, many people will die, many families will be separated, and white-haired people will send black-haired people." The corpses were all over the field, piled up together, and buried in a tomb. "This is the scene that I took her to the coastal area on Chinese New Year's Eve before, and it was terrifying.

Disasters are always so merciless, not only in floods, but also in fires. Lives are taken, and no bones remain.

Xiang Rong saw the painful look on his young lady's face, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he kept silent. After enduring it for a while, he still couldn't hold on and asked in a low voice: "Does the emperor really care about whether they live or die?" ”

How can it not be cared for, isn't it allocated money and food! It's a pity that he was disappointed in the end, probably he knew about such a situation, but there was no way. Mo Yu covered the teacup, placed it on the table, and turned his head to look at the warm sunlight outside, but he didn't know how long this sunlight would last. "Probably, he also has the heart but the power!"

The fluttering words are not very real, but if she can't hear them really, it doesn't mean that others can't hear them clearly, no, the person who can hear clearly comes over.

"How can you see that he has a heart but is powerless?"

When Mo Yu heard the voice, she was suddenly startled, secretly adjusted her mentality, and turned around. The man in front of him was dressed in a dark clothes, with a round patterned jade pendant hanging from his waist, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and a strong yang aura all over his body. Mo Yu didn't know where this person came from, so he didn't get up to give a salute. But looking at his demeanor and demeanor, he was definitely not a prodigal boy in the capital, so he smiled lightly: "I don't understand what the son said." ”

I wanted to see someone coming, so I silently got up and stood behind Moyu, and I was a slave who kept my duty, just like the two of them just now. The man didn't wait for the master to be invited, and sat down in the original position of Xiangrong autonomously, sitting in front of Moyu. Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't stop it.

The man sat down, Gu Zi took a new teacup and poured tea, took a sip and put it down. "In Xia Bi Shufan, why does the girl think that the emperor is willing but powerless?"

Bi Shufan? First of all, she had never heard of the name, and secondly, it was a strange name. I think it's because the other party doesn't want to reveal his true identity, so it's a mess! The hand under the Moyu table unconsciously clenched a point, and he still said calmly on his face: "I'm afraid that Childe heard it wrong, you can't talk nonsense, if you cause any unnecessary trouble to Childe, then it will be worth the loss." ”

He didn't ask about ordinary people, but about today, who is tired of being crooked and has nothing to talk about the Son of Heaven. Bi Shufan also noticed that he was a little abrupt, and raised his teacup to apologize. "It's abrupt, it's like a girl apologizing." After saying that, drink it all.

Mo Yu didn't give face to others, picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, it's not too early, let's go first, so as not to worry about the family when we go back late." As he spoke, he got up and took his leave.

Where was Bi Shufan willing to let go, he finally met a person who said what was in his heart, so he naturally tried his best to know the answer, so he got up and said: "Girl, please stay, you are not a prodigal son in vain, and please listen to the words of the girl." ”

"You don't have the word "good person" written on your face!" Xiangrong behind her muttered, she had never seen outsiders since she was a child, so she was naturally a little scared, but her innocent heart still hadn't changed.

Although the voice was small, the two people present could hear it clearly, and Mo Yu just smiled silently. Bi Shufan glanced at Xiang Rong with calm eyes, although he didn't say anything, but Mo Yu was still shocked in his heart, there was a trace of anger in his eyes, although it was well hidden, but Mo Yu could still catch it. If she hadn't been there, I'm afraid Bi Shufan would have killed Xiang Rong. coughed lightly twice, pulling Bi Shufan's gaze back to himself. "Just now the son said that he had something to say, and the little woman listened to it."

Bi Shufan retracted his gaze, fell on Mo Yu, and said: "I haven't married a wife yet, and they all say that women are as careful as hair, and I have a puzzle and want the girl to help me explain." ”

Cut, a handful of old people who haven't married a wife, who to deceive! Mo Yu raised his hand and posed for please, and said with a smile: "Childe, please speak." ”

Bi Shufan leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said, "I have a friend whose family background is not very good. One day, his mother was sick and needed the Tianshan Snow Lotus on the Snow Mountain as a medicine guide to be cured. While he was rejoicing, the creditor came after him and demanded that he be repaid, and if he did not pay the money, he and his mother would be killed. My friend was very embarrassed by the mother on one side and the creditor on the other, and wanted to borrow it from a friend, but when he heard about him, he couldn't see him. Can the girl give my friend ideas to get him through this? ”

"What's wrong with your friend?" Behind him, a voice came softly.

Mo Yu frowned, turned his head to Xiang Rong and said, "Okay, I know you're bored, go out for a walk by yourself, buy whatever you like, I'll wait for you here." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Rong was of course happy, but when he saw Bi Shufan sitting opposite, he was a little worried. Mo Yu threw a reassuring look at her, and the little girl turned around and went downstairs step by step, and as soon as she went out of the Sihai Building, she saw the interesting things in the distance, and left all the worries just now.

When she was leaving, Mo Yu's gaze fell back on the man opposite, and she saw his meaningful eyes, as if waiting for her answer, and as if looking at her nervous expression. It's a pity that on Mo Yu's face, he didn't see anything but a smile that didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

Mo Yu knew very well in her heart that the other party had just changed her statement and asked her to answer the original question of "why did he see that he was powerless". The mother's illness is a flood, the creditor is a foreign enemy, and the emperor is facing internal and external troubles, but the treasury is empty. If we do not provide disaster relief, I am afraid that the people's will will be unstable and shake the foundation of the country; If there is no war and foreign enemies invade, the Zhou State can only Xianheng for the meat of others and let them slaughter, which is indeed a dilemma.

After taking a sip of the teacup and putting it down, Mo Yu smiled lightly: "If I were your friend, I would be very embarrassed too." But the mother must be saved, and the creditor's money must be repaid, and since the friend refuses to borrow money, he can only rob it. ”

The tea cup in his hand couldn't help but shake, and the tea leaves floating on the water swayed from side to side after a while. Bi Shufan raised his eyes and said, "The girl is really amazing, this is indeed a way, but the state has national laws, so it's not good to rob it in broad daylight, right?" ”

Although the other party's expression did not change much, the move of raising his thick eyebrows still couldn't escape Moyu's eyes. "Of course, the robbery I am talking about is not a robbery with a big knife and a wooden stick to pretend to be a thief, to be precise, it is not a robbery, it is a robbery." Since the words have already been said for this part, it's not interesting to be sloppy, so just say it generously. "Your friends should also have some businessmen, businessmen are more eager for the fame and fortune of the court, your friends can use fame and fortune as a temptation to hold a benevolent activity, I think those who do business will be happy to donate money for this fame and fortune. Of course, he also has friends who are officials, find an honest and loyal person, and use the same method to let them take the initiative to give money. If one person donates, other officials will not refuse to give it for the sake of face. ”

Bi Shufan put down the teacup and looked at the woman in front of him calmly. She was dressed very plainly, except for a white hosta on her head, there was no other decoration, saying that she was a country woman, where did she come from such an opinion, saying that she was a lady in the boudoir, which boudoir lady in the capital would dress like her.

Although this method is a bit detrimental, it is indeed an effective and fast method.

Since the emperor is short of money, he will ask his courtiers and some wealthy businessmen. The emperor can give the court a reward according to the money donated by the wealthy merchants. Shinong businessmen, merchants are the most disrespected class, it is believed that they are all copper smell, if they have a plaque awarded by the imperial court, they will naturally spend money to buy it, and the businessmen who have a connection with the imperial court will naturally have a different identity. As for the courtiers, the emperor can also find one or two heartfelt people to play a play, the protagonist is the emperor, and the rest of the people are supporting roles, let the supporting actors take the initiative to donate money, then other officials will more or less come up with money for the sake of face. At this time, the emperor can also give some vague benefits as a temptation, so that those courtiers think that it is profitable, and naturally bet one after another, with the first, there will naturally be a second and third.

"If it's a businessman, it's just that, and a courtier is not so easy to deceive. It's not that easy to get money out of them. ”

Mo Yu lowered his head and said, "This is not a problem I can solve. ”

"The girl's opinion is really admirable, I don't know who the girl's teacher is, and she can teach such a smart student as the girl."

Teacher? No. It's just that the mountain people have their own methods. The emperor sat in the court every day, watching his courtiers prostrate at his feet, and naturally did not think of asking for money from the people kneeling with him. It's like a truth that a master never asks a slave for money.

Mo Yu picked up the teacup, saw that the tea was cold, put it down, shook his head and said: "I just read a few books, plus things like Gongzi's friends encountered, I have also seen a lot, so I naturally know." As for the teacher, there really isn't. ”

Bi Shufan picked up the teacup, and when he saw that the tea had been cold, he also put it down directly like Moyu. "A girl learns, if she is a man, she has a bright future and is a pillar of the country."

Mo Yu doesn't like to hear this, does he have to be a man to become a pillar of the country? Besides, who are you, indiscriminately commenting on whether others are the pillars of the country? "I'm afraid I have no hope for the future, but I am a son, worried about the country and the people, it is really a blessing for the people of Zhou."

"I'm not an official below, it's just an empty ambition, but I have nowhere to show it."

cynical, this is like what the students who failed to make the list said, Moyu doesn't believe it. "Then I wish my son good luck."

"Thank you."

The flattery of the two of you and me, from the suspicion and distrust at the beginning, to the current conversation and laughter, can be regarded as a very happy conversation.
