After the two discussed, they walked out of the study together, Zhang Liangqing still had something to do, and Li Qingyun also wanted to talk to Wang Li, so he was not polite, and agreed to get together here in the evening, and then left separately.

Wang Li's mansion was not very far from the north of Ironwood City, and it didn't take long for the three of them to stop in front of a house.

"Wangfu, tsk, deputy city lord Wang, you are taking advantage of the name. Looking at the bright plaque on the door, Li Qingyun said with a smile.

"Young General, don't make fun of me, this is not two thousand years ago. ”

Wang Li smiled bitterly and pushed open the door and invited Li Qingyun and Xu Jiayin in.

After looking around, Li Qingyun frowned, there were no pavilions and pavilions, and there were no rockery bonsai, except for a set of unusually simple stone tables and stone benches in the middle of the courtyard, there was not even a living person, and it looked like a deserted house.

"What's going on? Why do you say that you are also a deputy city lord, and your residence is like this?"

Li Qingyun looked at Wang Li with some displeasure, one of the deputy city lords of the dignified Iron and Wood City, in charge of officials and merchants, living in such a trembling place, if others saw it, they would think how mean he, the young general, was to his subordinates.

"Major General, I feel very good, so big, much better than the thatched hut I used to live in the mountains, it's very clean. ”

Wang Li scratched his head, a little unsure why Li Qingyun was angry.

This house was given to Wang Li by Li Qingyun at the reward meeting, he didn't ask anything, and after coming to Tiemu City, he lived in directly.

And although he's the only one, there's no shortage of cleaning on weekdays, and it looks pretty clean, so there's no problem.

Li Qingyun glared at Wang Li, tapped the stone bricks that were already covered with moss with his feet, rolled his eyes and asked, "That's it?"

Wang Li smiled wryly and made a gesture to get a broom.

He really didn't pay attention to this, a man in his early twenties, and the deputy city lord of Ironwood City, where did he have the heart to pay attention to these details.

Li Qingyun stopped Wang Li, shook his head and sighed, "Okay, is there a city in Tiemu City?"

Wang Li nodded and replied, "Yes, but it's over there in Nancheng." ”

Li Qingyun pondered for a while and said, "Just go there, Wang Li, you lead the way." ”

Wang Li's good deputy city lord's mansion is as shabby as a kennel, although it can live in people, but it is too empty, and he is a merchant in charge of the rule of officials and officials, and it is inevitable that he will receive merchants at home in the future.

There are thirty-six cities like Tiemu City in the north, and when people see the dignified deputy city lord living in this kind of place, they will definitely doubt the strength of Tiemu City, who is willing to stay in Tiemu City for a long time.

At that time, Li Qingyun didn't want to really let Wang Li go to sweep the thatched house.

Hearing that Li Qingyun was going to the human market, Wang Li looked at him thoughtfully.

I have long heard that this young general is young and romantic, and he is only approaching the age of the weak crown, and he already has two marriage contracts.

The little young grandmother he saw in the Demon Rejection City last time didn't follow, thinking that the young general should be lonely.

Thinking of this, Wang Li gave Li Qingyun a reassuring look, and then said with a smile: "Young General, don't worry, this matter will definitely not be spread by his subordinates." ”

Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, and waited until Wang Li winked at him before he suddenly had an epiphany.

"Your uncle!" Li Qingyun finally couldn't help it, raised his leg and kicked him, and said angrily, "Get out! Lao Tzu will do whatever you want you to do!

The top three on the overall list, why don't you have any eyes at all, if you didn't still expect this kid to guard Tiemu City for him, Li Qingyun would have strangled this finished thing a long time ago.

Wang Li didn't mind patting off the footprints on his body, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from the space ring, and then handed it to Li Qingyun slowly, and said with some reluctance: "Young General, you save a little, your subordinates are just a little bit of money." ”

Li Qingyun glared at Wang Li, snatched the silver ticket in his hand, clicked it, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"10,000 taels of silver tickets, you didn't spend a penny, do you keep the cubs?!"

Li Qingyun thought that Wang Li had finished the 10,000 taels of scourge, but he didn't expect that the silver reward given to him at the reward meeting was not touched at all, but the deputy city lord's mansion was shabby.

It is true that Li Qingyun was angry and blew his heart, liver and lungs, bit his teeth in his mouth, and spoke so bluntly, and he actually detained it like this.

Wang Li replied with a bitter face: "Young General, you can't blame me, what about 10,000 taels of silver, I have seen so much money there, and I don't know how to spend it at all." The expenses of this year still rely on the twenty-two coils given by my master. ”

How the numbers written in the account book compare to the silver ticket in the hand.

Wang Li grew up in the mountains since he was a child, although he was taken to many places by his master and saw a lot of the world, but he never spent money when he went out with his master.

Besides, he doesn't gamble, he doesn't go to Qinglou, and occasionally a few businessmen line up to invite him to dinner on weekdays, and they have to give him things, and the 10,000 taels are not needed at all.

After listening to Wang Li's explanation, Li Qingyun sighed deeply, pinched the silver ticket, sat on the stone bench, and said softly: "Wang Li, you are not in his position, you are not in his position, you are now the deputy city lord in charge of merchants and officials in Tiemu City, not when you were in the mountains. ”

"Not to mention that there are people following you when you go there, but if you look at this courtyard, there is no popularity at all, do you feel like a deputy city lord?"

Li Qingyun looked up at Wang Li, his expression was very flat.

Wang Li didn't look like he was in a high position, and he looked like a market hooligan.

Whether he is experienced or the city government, he is far from being able to compare with Zhang Tongyang.

Although Wang Li doesn't know how to spend money, so he is very honest and not a greedy person, but what Li Qingyun wants is still a lot worse.

A person who is incorruptible and selfless may be a good official, but this kind of person is suitable for being a criminal officer, not a deputy city lord who is responsible for managing merchants and officials.

He didn't want the people to be hungry and thin, and he had to shout Lord Qingtian. This kind of person who uses the hardships of the people to fulfill his name, Li Qingyun is the most despised.

But he also doesn't like those corrupt officials who are rampant and domineering.

What he wants is a capable minister who can feed and clothe the people, have yellow hair and hang down, and enjoy himself.

When the feudal country was still there, there were often scholars who said: Xi's literary and martial arts are in the emperor's house.

These people are not those people in the Tianyun Shujian Academy who take the common people of the world as their own responsibility, and what the scholars seek is fame and fortune.

These Li Qingyun can easily give, and the most important thing in the Yaocheng General's Mansion is silver. As long as you can do it, General Yaocheng's Mansion will not treat you badly.

He was not disappointed, Wang Li had just won the crown, and he became the deputy city lord, and some things were not well thought out, and it was understandable.

"Major General, I ......"

Wang Li looked at his clothes with some embarrassment, to be honest, he was not even as good as a dog leg beside Zhang Tongyang.

"Zhang Tongyang will be replaced, the next city lord should not interfere with the part you are in charge of, Zhang Hanyu doesn't have to worry, he is easy to deal with. Wang Li, I will hand over the Iron and Wood City to you, and I hope that in two hundred years, you will return me to the first city in the Northland. ”

Li Qingyun interrupted Wang Li's words and told Wang Li about the discussion between him and Zhang Liangqing.

The third generation practiced his heart, making Li Qingyun far more mature than he looked, there is some truth, he can't say it directly, just click on it, Wang Li needs to realize it by himself.

Although Wang Li was still a little confused, he still hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, my subordinates, the young general." ”

Wang Li felt that although Li Qingyun was younger than him, his vision was far away and he knew a lot, which gave him a sense of incomprehension.

The biggest obstacle in Tiemu City, Li Qingyun has already helped him clear it, and in the future, when he really builds it, there will be a lot less resistance.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go to the human market first. ”

Li Qingyun patted his ass and sat up, looked at Wang Li and said.

Suspicious people don't need it, it's not easy to use people, although he has high hopes for Wang Li, but that's all he says, he will help Wang Li again, and he will have to rely on Wang Li himself in the future.

"Major General, please come with me. ”

Wang Li nodded, and the three of them went out and went to the city in the south of the city together.
