Chapter 635: Making Mistakes, This Is What a Normal Person Does!

Listening to Xiao He's words, Lu Su frowned slightly, her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't seem to understand these things very well. However, when Xiao He picked up the data from the desk and handed it to her, her curiosity was instantly aroused.

Lu Su took the data and read it carefully. It was a detailed expenditure document, which listed all the expenses of the county city. She was surprised to find that these expenses were as high as more than 20 million yuan! This is not a small amount!

She read the copy line by line. There were many kinds of expenditure items, many of which she had never heard of. The maintenance of the city wall, the cleanliness of the roads, the placement of students, the preparation of the celebration, etc. These seemingly insignificant expenses were so large in a year, which shocked Lu Su.

"Madam, this money is not enough just by relying on taxes." Xiao He's voice rang in Lu Su's ears, "It's all the money supported by the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, this is only the expenditure of the county city, not all the territories currently occupied by the Prime Minister. If all are calculated, I'm afraid it will be an astronomical figure."

Lu Su's eyes widened. She couldn't imagine how huge this number would be. She began to realize that governing a place was not a simple matter. It was necessary to consider all aspects of expenses. And these expenses were far from enough to rely solely on taxes. If there was no support from the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid that the current prosperity of the Southern Territory would not be seen at all.

"Madam, this is the reality. There are indeed many disadvantages in the over-reliance on the Chamber of Commerce for the development of the Southern Territory, but the problem is that the Chamber of Commerce, strictly speaking, does not belong to the court, but is the prime minister's private property. At first, due to various reasons, we had to rely on the Chamber of Commerce to promote the development of the Southern Territory. However, now that the time is ripe, the prime minister naturally hopes to separate the Chamber of Commerce from the development of the Southern Territory and let it return to the track of natural development." Xiao He explained, and he understood Gao Yao's approach.

As for whether to support the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce in Gaoyao, Xiao He believes that this is a question that requires weighing the pros and cons. Directly opposing the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce in Gaoyao is another matter. After all, everyone has their own position and considerations on this matter.

"Lord Xiao He means that my sister did something wrong?" After hearing Xiao He's explanation, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little confused. She widened her eyes and looked straight at Xiao He, as if trying to find the answer from his face.

Seeing this, Xiao He hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Madam, there is no right or wrong in this matter. Everyone has their own opinions and ideas, which is very normal. It's just that Madam Lu Zhi, you may be a little too anxious."

Lü Zhi frowned and asked, "Too eager? I don't quite understand. Can Lord Xiao He explain it in detail?"

Xiao He coughed lightly and continued, "Madam's concerns are not wrong, and it is even normal to have such concerns, but the mistake is to raise this issue at this time. Sometimes, the development of things requires a certain timing and rhythm. It is not necessarily a good thing to point out the problem in advance!"

Lü Zhi nodded thoughtfully, seeming to understand something. However, Lü Su suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Xiao He, do you mean that my sister is acting too hastily?"

Xiao He glanced at Lu Su, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "You can say that. However, this is just my personal opinion, and the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail."

"So, Lord Xiao He also supports my husband?" At this time, Lu Su was a little confused. In terms of court politics and economic development, Lu Su was much worse than Lu Zhi. Although he also handled some business issues, he was still far behind.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand me! I am only discussing the matter at hand. After all, the Prime Minister is a high-ranking official, and this Chamber of Commerce was developed by the Prime Minister. So even if the Prime Minister really has any fault, sometimes we have to treat him as innocent. Think about it, if the Prime Minister discovered the problem first, and then we make suggestions, this is called admonition, which is to help the Prime Minister solve his problems! And this also shows how wise the Prime Minister is! However, if the Prime Minister has not discovered the problem yet, but we discovered it first, and it is something the Prime Minister was going to do anyway, then this is disobedience! Madam, you must consider it carefully!"

At this time, Xiao He did not hesitate to push the problem directly back to Lu Su. In fact, at this point, the right or wrong of this matter itself has become less important. The more critical issue is the attitude involved. In everyone's cognition, Gao Yao is simply impossible to make mistakes and should never make mistakes. However, if a person really never makes mistakes, can he still be considered a real person?

Xiao He's meaning was very simple and clear. If someone really needed to take responsibility for the mistake, then let the mistake happen. But now, including the ladies in Gao Yao's mansion, they all subconsciously believed that Gao Yao would never make a mistake, and was not even allowed to make a mistake. This was the most terrifying thing.

Listening to Xiao He's words, Lu Su gradually understood something. She was a little confused about Xiao He's words, but now it suddenly became clear to her. So, she stood up slowly, with graceful and dignified movements.

Lü Su bowed deeply to Xiao He. This gesture not only expressed her respect for Xiao He, but also showed her humility and courtesy. Seeing this, Xiao He quickly returned the bow and said, "Madam, why do you have to do this?"

Lu Su smiled and replied, "Thank you, Lord Xiao He. My previous words may have been inappropriate. If I have offended you, Lord, I hope Lord Xiao He will not blame me!" Her tone was sincere, and people could feel her sincerity.

Xiao He quickly waved his hands and said, "Madam, you are too polite. After all, it is the First Madam and Madam who are worried about the Prime Minister. This is human nature. Doesn't the Prime Minister often say that worrying too much will lead to confusion!" His words revealed his understanding and tolerance for Lu Su.

After listening to Xiao He's words, Lu Su understood more clearly. She realized that the person who was being forced was not someone else, but Gao Yao. The twists and turns in this were much more complicated than she had imagined. She finally understood why Lu Zhi was reprimanded and even locked up in the room.

Thinking of this, Lu Su couldn't help but sighed: "Thank you, Lord Xiao He, then Lu Su will take his leave!"

Lu Su expressed his gratitude for Xiao He's explanation, and at the same time felt a little ashamed of his previous misunderstanding. Then he left the office. Xiao He also breathed a sigh of relief.
