"Brother Xu, I'm not afraid of your jokes."
"Sometimes, I really envy you!"
"People all think that being an official is a good thing, as it means you have money to spend, and there is plenty of fish and meat to eat!"
"To be honest, my brother, I can keep myself fed with just one year's salary."
"…?!"
At first hearing Zuoqiu suddenly said these words, Mr. Xu was confused. He looked at Zuoqiu's face carefully, and then looked at the big bowl of tea placed in front of Zuoqiu. He couldn't understand why this guy didn't drink at all, so he looked like he was drunk.
"After studying hard for ten years, I became the county magistrate of this seventh grade. Compared with many people, I am actually much better off."
"It's just that when I think about my parents living in poverty at home, I feel so miserable!"
"Master Zuo, you are a good and honest official, but you have been wronged!"
Although he didn't understand why Zuoqiu was suddenly so sentimental, Mr. Xu felt that he still needed to comfort him. After all, Zuoqiu's official reputation was really good during the two years he was in Anshun County.
It is difficult to be a good official, Mr. Xu has always understood.
"No grievance, no grievance!"
Zuoqiu waved his hand, "Brother Xu, I'm telling you this just to ask, how on earth did you make the chickens and ducks at home lay eggs so well?"
"As for me, I just want to learn."
"If you learn it, you can improve your life."
After hearing Zuoqiu's words, Mr. Xu felt very upset.
Fortunately, he thought Zuoqiu had been touched by something sad and soft in his heart, so he had the intention to comfort him. After a long time of fussing, this is what it means!
"Master Zuo, actually, you know, many of my babies need milk. The babies must eat more eggs, so many of these eggs are collected!"
"Well, that's right, I bought it with money!"
After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Zuoqiu was dumbfounded.
He really couldn't learn this method.
If he has extra money in his hand and cuts pounds of meat to go home and beat the teeth as a sacrifice, wouldn't it be delicious
"Master Zuo, actually, your situation is not impossible to change!"
Looking at Zuoqiu's troubled face, Mr. Xu suddenly raised his eyebrows at him and gently raised his fingers.
Seeing Mr. Xu's action, Zuo Qiu was interested at first, but then quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Xu, no. I once swore an oath in front of my parents that I would never be greedy for a single person or the people. If I do anything like corruption, If you die, you won’t enter your ancestors’ graves!”
"Brother Xu, you can't harm me!"
Zuoqiu's head shook like a rattle.
Mr. Xu immediately slammed the table and said, "Master Zuo, who do you think I am?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"I walk upright and sit upright!"
"I will have to watch my Fu Bao get married and have children in the future!"
"Don't say I won't do this illegal thing. If anyone wants to force me to do it, I will shoot him in a transparent hole first!"
"So good, so good!"
Zuoqiu regained his smile after hearing Mr. Xu's statement, and bowed to Mr. Xu, "Brother Xu, don't blame me, it's my little brother's fault. I apologize to you!"
Mr. Xu waved his hand and said, "I know Mr. Zuo is a good official, so why should I argue with you?"
"Brother Xu, tell me, what kind of method is this?"
Mr. Xu hooked his hand at Zuoqiu again and said, "Mr. Zuo, do you know that horse-drawn carriages have popped up in our county during this period to solicit customers and goods?"
"Brother Xu, this is inappropriate!"
Zuoqiu pondered for a moment, "If I participate, wouldn't I be competing with the people for profit?"
"No, no, Mr. Zuo misunderstood!"
"What I mean is, the county government comes forward!" (End of Chapter)
