When Mr. Lu was hesitating, an officer came to report, "Li Tongzhi asked to see him outside the door."

Master Lu murmured in his heart: what is he doing here?
"Hurry up, please." Master Lu waved quickly.

In an instant, Li Tongzhi walked in with square steps, bowed his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, Li Nanjin, will meet Mr. Lu."

Master Lu who was standing in front of the table looked at him and said with a smile, "Sit, sit." He pointed to the official hat chair on the left.

"Thank you, sir." Li Nanjin walked over and saw Master Lu sat down, then raised his official robe and sat for a third of the time.

"Serve tea!" Master Lu raised his voice.

"No, no need." Li Nanjin quickly waved his hands, "I'm not thirsty."

The guard outside the door had already entered, Master Lu waved him back.

"Master Lu, please screen back to the left and right?" Li Nanjin hesitated and asked.

Screen back left and right again?Master Lu raised his eyebrows lightly, and raised his voice, "You all go down!"

"Yes!" The guards outside the gate and in the courtyard all retreated.

"Sir Li, speak up if you have something to say." Master Lu looked at Li Nanjin with a gentle expression and said.

"We've been working together for a year now!" Li Nanjin said.

"Yes!" Master Lu nodded with a smile when he heard the words, "Thank you for this year, you have to cooperate."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Li Nanjin stood up and cupped his hands, "This is Mr. Lu's leadership."

"Sit down, let's sit down and talk." Master Lu pointed to the official hat chair behind him.

"I'm here..." Li Nanjin pursed her lips and said embarrassedly, "Is the cotton harvest going well?"

Everyone is in the government office together, don't you know if the collection is going well or not?

Master Lu looked at him with flickering dark eyes and said honestly, "It's not going well."

"Those rich households in the city are so disgusting, they are [-]% higher than the price offered by the imperial court." Li Nanjin said angrily with a black face, "And those peasants, who gave them cotton seeds, who taught them how to plant Cotton." Filled with righteous indignation, he continued, "During the spring plowing, all the people in our government office stayed with us in the fields. This is something that has never happened before. It is really ungrateful. We are worthy of the sun for the mud-legged people!"

Master Lu stroked his forehead, patiently waiting for him to enter the topic.

"But we can't compete with the people for profit." Li Nanjin said with a smile on his face, pulling the corner of his lips lightly.

The corners of Master Lu's mouth twitched when he heard this, he just said this before having a cup of tea.

Now it sounds so harsh.

"Watching them make a lot of money is really eye-catching." Li Nanjin said with a drooling mouth.

"What does Master Li mean?" Master Lu leaned back on the back of the chair, squinted his eyes slightly and said at him.

"It doesn't make sense to let those low-level businessmen make money!" Li Nanjin looked at him with bottomless black eyes and said.

"Let this government issue a decree to prevent wealthy households in the city from buying cotton." Master Lu said as he looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"How can this be?" Li Nanjin quickly shook his head and said, "It's not good for the reputation of the adults, and they compete with the people for profit."

"This government also knows, so we can only watch them make a big purchase." Master Lu leaned forward, put one hand on the table and sighed softly.

Li Nanjin's black eyes flashed with joy, "Lord Lu, don't be in a hurry. Is there a way for the lower officials?"

"Oh!" Master Lu said in a drawn out voice, looking at him eagerly with green light in his dark eyes.

"Let's do it together!" Li Nanjin said, staring at Master Lu without blinking.

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu tried his best to maintain his superficial calm, his left hand under the table was almost crushed.

Master Lu swallowed, looked at Li Nanjin pretending to be ignorant and said, "I don't know what Master Li means by working together? Can you explain in detail."

"That's easy! They have money, and we have cotton, so how good it is to sell them!" Li Nanjin said, looking at him with greedy eyes.

Mr. Lu was already shocked by his words, and there was no longer any trace of emotion on his face.

Master Lu looked at him exaggeratedly and said in surprise, "Where do I have cotton here!" He patted the back of his hand and said, "I'm still in a hurry to harvest enough cotton!" Pointing to the corner of his mouth, he said, "Look at the anxious It's all blistered, and I can't sleep all night, all night."

"It's the cotton that came in from the government office warehouse!" Li Nanjin said simply and easily.

"The treasury?" Master Lu shook his head like a rattle, "That's not okay, use the treasury without permission, that's..." His index finger crossed his throat and said, "He's going to be beheaded." He said palely, "The one in the treasury Cotton and grain, they have to be handed in." Looking at him in horror, he said, "Don't die, dare to play his idea."

"We are also sharing worries for the emperor!" Li Nanjin said eloquently.

"Share the emperor's worries?" Master Lu curled his lips and snorted coldly, "This is a loss of public wealth and personal wealth, jewelry and private pockets. Are you fooling the ghost? To share the emperor's worries?"

"The imperial court is short of money! Looking at the mansion newspaper, it is either flooded or drought. It is still at war with the north, and there is no shortage of money anywhere. It would be great if we exchanged it for silver!" Li Nanjin looked wildly. said with him.

"Your Majesty doesn't know how to do it himself!" Lord Lu cupped his hands towards the north, "We need to share our worries and solve problems. The court is short of money, but it is even more short of real goods. Sometimes it can't buy food even if it has money."

"Isn't it convenient for the emperor to come forward about these things?" Li Nanjin cupped his hands towards the north, "As a subject, we have to share the emperor's worries, don't we?"

A courtier shared the emperor's worries, Master Lu clenched his fists, we have known each other for more than a year, why didn't I see it!

The heart is so dark, so dark, I really want money but not life!

Lord Lu said in panic, "This is not good, it is not good, we can't do things like losing our heads! Absolutely can't do it, there is no impenetrable wall in this world." Black eyes flashed at him and said, "We can't risk our lives just to make money. Let’s get in! You can make money, but you can’t spend it. What are you trying to do? No, absolutely not.”

Li Nanjin was overjoyed when he heard the words, he likes money, okay!very good!

Li Nanjin stood up and cupped his hands and said with trepidation, "Master Lu has taught me that the lower officials must never dare to think about the treasury."

"Sit, sit down and talk." Master Lu looked at him gently and pointed to the official hat chair behind him.

Li Nanjin was determined in his heart, and humbly admitted his mistake, "This official is really overwhelmed by the money earned by those low-level businessmen." He said sadly, "It's really because they only have small profits in their hearts and no righteousness. of."

Mr. Lu laughed back with anger in his heart. He really admired the literati's mouth, and he made all the black out of it.

Seeing the appearance of worrying about the country and the people, Mr. Lu felt a little sick to his stomach.
