The court is quiet, the melon people are making trouble!

"It was such a big commotion! There were huge crowds of people outside."

"Did you see that little boy over there? He was so calm in the courtroom, as if he was in a state of disbelief! "

Xu Qingqing watched as the little boy was kicked out by the man because he pinched him too lightly.

"Then how did they get in?"

"Of course it's our lord who is so wise and powerful! He took out his official seal on the spot and handed it to the little boy!"

Wei Qiu imitated vividly, his voice becoming deeper:

"This is my official seal. Do you dare to pick it up and throw it?"

"See the child shaking his head, ask again, sir!"

"Why not?"

"The boy said, 'This is an official seal. If I drop it, you will put me in jail!'"

Wei Qiu cleared his throat and flicked his shirt in a handsome manner:

"Since you know that my seal cannot be thrown away, you are sensible and reasonable! Where are the people coming? Take him to the prison and execute him in the autumn!"

"When the other kid saw his companion being arrested for being sensible, he grabbed the official seal and threw it to the ground!"

"Our Lord calmly picked up the official seal. He returned to the court and slammed the gavel."

"You intentionally damaged the seal of a second-rank official and disregarded the law. Take him away and execute him in the autumn!"

[Wow! Master Xu is awesome! You are my eternal God! Love you, love you, love you! Heart! Bullies should never be forgiven! They are all going to die!]

Xu Zishen's ears turned red when he was praised:

This little girl's compliment is so nice to hear. Alas! It's also my fault that I didn't let my wife give birth to a daughter for me!

[Eh? Aren’t these the star-crossed couple from the Golden Robbery?]

Princess Jiajia followed Xu Qingqing's gaze and looked over:

"Hiss! What a scary half face!"

[Hiss! What a miserable man! He must have been burned! So, my family members, be careful when making friends!]

[No, this talent was killed just like that? Lord Xu is not making good use of his talent?]

Xu Zishen was puzzled. How did his killing of a person have anything to do with talent?

"Alas! It's a pity that I often don't know what to do with these prisoners!"

Xu Qingqing's eyes lit up. "Come and ask me! I have many ways to help you."

"Uncle Xu, let's wait for the other prisoners to come back, let's go out and talk first!"

The four of them started to walk out. Xu Zishen bent over and listened to Xu Qingqing:

"I noticed there's another person imprisoned inside! High-end talents like them... right!"

"And those people outside... don't waste them!"

"Can this be done?"

The more Xu Zishen listened, the brighter his eyes became:

Reasonable, reasonable, very reasonable! Big baby is big baby!

"Xu Xingxing, walk, walk! Let's go inside the room so I can record everything!"

*

The next morning, the emperor had not yet arrived. Xu Zishen looked at the Minister of Works standing beside him:

"Lord Wang! I'll give you a man, would you like him?"

The Minister of Works who is still worried about how to improve the bows and crossbows:

……

You're giving a man to a grown man, do you think this is reasonable? No, no!

"That's a talent who can fire dozens of large stones by putting a few pieces of wood together!"

The Minister of Works couldn't even hold the tablet in his hand: more than ten pieces in a row?

"real or fake?"

"Do you want love!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How can I not accept the kindness given by Lord Xu!"

"I will ask the emperor for something later, remember to say a few good words for me!"

The Minister of Works hesitated slightly. He wanted talents, but he didn't want to be the first to stand out!

"Is it a big deal?"

"It's not a big deal, just a small thing!"

The Minister of Industry gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I got it!"

"Master Zhou, I have a talent here. His hand speed and calculation ability are amazing. He read nearly a hundred account books in one afternoon. Do you want it?"

The Minister of Revenue looked at him questioningly:

"You have talents for me to use? You don't use them yourself?"

"Hey! My Ministry of Justice is full of nothing but files. Why would we need so many accountants?"

"That's fine! I'll meet him later! I'll naturally speak well of him to the Emperor!"

Xu Zhiyuan stuck his head out:

"What do you want for our Ministry of Rites? I can also put in a nice word!"

Xu Zishen rolled his eyes at him.

The Minister of Personnel, Mr. Zhao, joined in the fun:

"You guys are discussing so enthusiastically, but you don't even give me a chance? Are you afraid that you might cause trouble for my Ministry of Personnel?"

Xu Zishen waved his hand:

"No need to give him a position or money, just a strong person to accompany him will do!"

The Minister of War, who was originally not going to speak, brightened up when he heard that he didn't need to pay money:

"Master Xu! How many should you give to the Ministry of War? I welcome any number!"

Xu Zishen looked at him silently: It’s not that he doesn’t want to give it, the other four departments are not suitable, they can just send the people back, but the Ministry of War is not suitable!

So after the emperor announced that he had nothing else to report and that the court was dismissed, Xu Zishen knelt down with a plop:

"Your Majesty, I want to expand the prison twice as much, and I want some more land! The best is the kind with poor soil quality! And I want to approve more prison guards in the Ministry of Justice!"

I wanted to kneel down with the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue (=?Д?=):

? ? ? ?

Sun Za! You lied to me! You call this a small matter? Don’t you know that every inch of land in Beijing is worth a lot of money? And it’s twice as much!

The emperor above was so angry that he laughed, and the table was slapped loudly:

"Twice the size of the Sky Prison? Do you think the crime rate in the capital is not high enough?"

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. I'm just trying to save you money! Here's my memorial for Your Majesty to take a look at!"

The other ministers were stunned:

This is the first time I heard that asking for people and land is to save money!

Unexpectedly, the emperor's eyes lit up as he read on, and he kept cheering. Finally, the memorial was handed to the Minister of Revenue:

"Lord Zhou, how long do you think it will take to get your money back?"

The Minister of Revenue felt a pain in his heart:

It looks like this is going to cost a lot of money! Old thief Xu misled me.

When he opened the memorial, it started with a plan to renovate the Tianlao prison at a high cost. The Minister of Revenue wanted to beat Xu Zishen to death after reading it, but he became more and more frightened when he read the following content.

1. The Tianlao was expanded twice, and various manual workshops were built (such as oil pressing, umbrella making, farm tool making, brick burning, carving, etc.)

Second, the various technical talents in the Tianlao, who are about to behead the prisoners, are under special supervision and strict supervision (for example: salt making, sugar making, gold and silver engraving, machinery manufacturing, project calculation, etc.)

Third, prisoners who are in prison for a short period of time or are about to be released are sent to work in the farms outside. (For example: farming, clearing wasteland, digging mountains, raising chickens and ducks, planting trees, digging rivers!)

Fourth, increase the number of jailers to deal with the idle young masters wandering around the capital and make the streets quieter...

"This, this, this! Lord Xu is very talented! This is a good way to generate income. Although the initial investment is a bit large, the effect in the later stage will be obvious!"

"From now on, not only will the Ministry of Justice not have to withdraw large amounts of money from the Ministry of Revenue, but it can also occasionally deposit money into the Ministry of Accounts!"

The Minister of Revenue bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I think this is feasible!"

The emperor smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were invisible:

"Lord Xu, if you have such a good idea, why are you telling me now?"

Xu Zishen did not take credit for it:

"Your Majesty, these suggestions were all proposed by Xu Xingxing, I just integrated them!"

"In addition, Xu Xingxing is very fast at solving cases. He solved twelve old cases in one day yesterday!"

The emperor clapped his hands happily and said:

"Good, good, good! Xu Xingxing has made great achievements on his first day. Eunuch Fu, reward!"

"Hmm? Where's Traveler Xu Xing? Why didn't he come to court?"

The emperor finally realized that he had not heard what his darling had to say yet!

Xu Zhiyuan was overwhelmed:

"Your Majesty, when Lord Xu killed someone yesterday, my daughter...Xu Xingxing was splashed with blood. She was so scared that she started to have a fever in the evening, and she hasn't recovered yet!"

Xu Zishen (;?Д?)!: As expected of the Ministry of Rites, you are really good at cutting off the beginning and the end. You didn't mention your daughter killing people in the prison at all!

"Yes! It's all my fault!"

The emperor waved his hand generously:

"If you don't want to come, then don't come! Not to mention being sick, it's okay even if you just went out to play! Eunuch Fu, please send Xu Aiqing home later!"

His great treasure cannot be wasted!

[Ding! Merit +50, mission completed beyond target, Merit +5]

At the Xu Mansion, Xu Qingqing was still asleep when she was awakened by the beeping sound in her head:

[Xiao Yuer, can you please study hard? I’m sleeping! Set the alarm clock back!]

Xianyu Grievances:

It doesn't know what happened! What is the principle of this merit?

[I’m upset! I want to recover! I don’t want to die!]

“Ah…ah…two, ah…two…”

Xu Qingqing pricked up her ears:

[What's that sound? Why is it gone?]

after a while

[Ahhhh! Two...]
