Mu Li is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich, she does not dislike the tattered chair of Xu Tianhong's house, and sat down without saying a word. "Is this your child, I really can't see that your child is so old."

Mu Li touched the heads of his younger brothers and sisters, looked at Xu Tianhong's children, and couldn't help but feel sad for his younger brothers and sisters. If their parents are still there, I'm afraid they love each other like this.

"Princess, please drink tea, there is really nothing else to entertain at home, I hope you will forgive me." Xu Tianhong's wife gently brought the boiled water to Mu Li, and respectfully saluted Mu Li.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would be surprised and panicked when she saw Mu Li. And Xu Tianhong's wife is not like this, she is very calm, and she does not seem to be shaken by Mu Li's identity. Mu Li likes such a woman, calmly and unhurriedly.

"You're welcome. Come on, let's play with my brother. "In the days of Yamen, except for following Mu Li's soup porridge every day, the children have no other fun, and now that I have met Xu Tianhong's children, I should let them have fun together.

Xu Tianhong's son is very well-behaved, and he doesn't look much older than the child adopted by Mu Li, but there is a sense of elegance between his gestures. is worthy of being a child taught by Xu Tianhong, and he is indeed cultivated.

"Does my sister-in-law teach her children literacy at home on weekdays?" Mu Li walked to the table and saw that the child's words were somewhat similar to his father's, and it was indeed father and son.

"The princess smiled, my words are still taught by Tianhong, I just watch the child learn, and I can be regarded as learning with him." Xu Tianhong's wife is very modest, and it can be seen that she and Xu Tianhong are also respectful of each other on weekdays.

Except for the young lady of a wealthy family who invited her husband to teach literacy, ordinary women do farm work, and have no concept of literacy, and even think that only men want to be literate.

"Xu Gongzi, I don't know what you think of the former county magistrate Li Wu?" Mu Li thought about Xu Tianhong's opinion every day, because in the eyes of the people, except for his complaints about Li Wu, he could no longer hear any good words.

Xu Tianhong smiled and said: "The princess is not embarrassed by the people, Li Wu is not to blame for himself." However, the princess wants to hear the truth, and Xiaomin is willing to talk a few words. ”

"At that time, I wanted to hear the truth, and I asked Xu Gongzi to talk a few words."

"That's the case, when Li Wugang was the county magistrate, what he did was still very much in line with the people's wishes. For example, changing one crop of rice to two crops will increase the harvest of the people. The second is to repair the canals, and the canals in the village were built by Li Wu and the people. So far, they have played a huge role. Later, the locusts repeated again, causing the people to complain, which led to Li Wu embarking on the road of corruption step by step. ”

Hearing Xu Tianhong say this, it turned out that Li Wu had such a contribution, but he had never heard the people talk about it. It is rare for Xu Tianhong to evaluate Li Wu so calmly.

"Then when did Li Wu start embezzling, could it be because the locusts attacked the fertile land? That doesn't make sense, does it? Mu Li was very curious about Li Wu's past, a heinous person, and he was actually a good person.

"Not exactly. It was mainly the people who forced Li Wu to take out his Yulu and go to other places to buy seeds, which led to Li Wu's complete change. ”

"What? Forcing him to take his money, this is a bit exaggerated, right? "Mu Li doesn't believe that the people will be so unreasonable, that is Li Wu's money, and it is not for the people.

"Alas, it's a bit outrageous, but it's true. The main reason was that there was a person who had a personal grudge with Li Wu at that time, which encouraged the people to let him take out his money. Speaking of this, Xu Tianhong was a little ashamed, he tried his best to dissuade him at the time, but no one listened to him, thinking that he, a nerd, was too cumbersome to speak, and it was not as good as a fist.

Since that incident, Li Wu has changed his appearance, and he began to embezzle and accept bribes, regardless of the life and death of the people. That's why there are so many gold, silver, and jewels in his secret passages, all of which he has embezzled since that time. It was no wonder why he was not afraid at all when he saw Chu Lingyi, it turned out that he had long been disappointed in the people and the position he was sitting in.

However, this was an example after all, and it was Li Wu's failure to handle the relationship between himself and the people that led to his final execution by Ling Chi.

"It's really all pitiful people, pity Li Wu, pity the people." Mu Li lamented Li Wu's past, he could have been a good official, but because he couldn't handle interpersonal relationships well, he complained with a complaint.

"yes."

"And if it were you, what would you do about it?" Li Wu's problem is something that every official has to go through, and it is the duty of an official to deal with the relationship with the people. Mu Li happened to use Li Wu's incident to ask Xu Tianhong rhetorically to see if his answer would satisfy Mu Li.

"I am not satisfied with you and said that if it were me, I would be willing to take out my own money, but I also have conditions." Xu Tianhong looked confident.

"Oh?"

"Princess, you think, the people are the food and clothing parents of the officials, if there is no them, how can the officials be the officials. But how to say it, this is also the hard-earned money of officials, and it cannot be given to the people in vain. Xu Tianhong seems to have a solution to this problem for a long time.

Mu Li's opinion on Xu Tianhong is very special. "Go on."

Xu Tianhong filled Mu Li's bowl with water and said, "If it were me, I would let them sign and pledge one by one, and I should have lent them all this money." In this way, they have the capital to go into the seeds, and I will not lose my finances because of this, so why not kill two birds with one stone. ”

Mu Li was stunned, isn't this a future loan relationship, Xu Tianhong can actually think so long-term, it's a pity that he is not a champion and not an official.

"Sure enough, it's Gongzi Xu, such an insight is rare." Mu Li wondered if he was a person from the same place as himself to have such thoughts.

"Do you know Tiananmen Square?"

Xu Tianhong was stunned, "What door?" Princess, why can't I understand what you're saying? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." It doesn't seem like you're from the same place, either. "It's been a while since I've been out, I have to go back, someone is going to look for me in a while."

"It's better to stay and eat, I hope the princess doesn't mind the coarse tea and light rice." Xu Tianhong's wife wanted to stay with Mu Li for dinner, but Mu Li wanted to tell Chu Lingyi about Xu Tianhong's talent immediately.

"No, next time."

Xu Tianhong's family has nothing else, only some steamed buns, which are indeed a little shabby. But Mu Li didn't want to stay for dinner because of this, but felt that his family couldn't open the pot in the first place, so why bother to increase the burden on their family.

When Mu left the house, the little brother was sitting and crying, and Xu Tianhong's child was comforting. "What's wrong? Did you wrestle? ”

Mu Li walked over and asked patiently.

"Princess, it's me who is not good, it was I who accidentally knocked him to the ground, which made my little brother cry non-stop, I'm sorry."
