The old Emperor's expression remained calm.
He didn't understand Xu Qing's intentions, but he understood people. If Xu Qing spoke like this, he must have confidence. Let's see…
Xu Qing pointed at Huo Jing and said, "Elder Huo, what do you think of my intentions?"
Huo Jing prided himself as a pillar of the Pure Stream of his time. If he openly opposed such a policy beneficial to the common people in the Court, wouldn't it ruin his lifelong reputation?
After all, you scholars are always saying not to compete with the people for profit, and now Xu Liushou is directly benefiting the people, yet you come to oppose it.
So the "people" you scholars talk about are actually other "people."
Even if that's the case, it can't be said outright!
With his expression changing several times, Huo Jing couldn't quite grasp Xu Qing's intentions, but it seemed there was no need to oppose this, as any loss would be the Court's problem.
