Li Xiao was about to step into the gate of the county government, and the officials on both sides forked the sticks in their hands, and one of them asked in a deep voice: "The county government is heavy, and the idle people are not allowed to enter without the summons of the county government." ”

"I'm looking for Qi Baiqi County Order." Li Xiao said.

"Qi County Order ......"

At this time, one of the officials turned his head to look at Li Xiao, and his mouth was wide open.

This servant, Li Xiao has long been acquainted, and he is one of Qi Bai's cronies. The two have met many times, and the official naturally remembers Li Xiao.

"Li ......"

"Don't make a noise, stand guard, I'll go in and have a look." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Please inside, please inside, Lord Qi is handling official business in the study." The official hurriedly said.

Inside the yamen, it is not as deserted as before, there is only one county order of more than a dozen or twenty officials, and there are many more people.

When Qi Bai saw Li Xiao, he quickly got up and saluted.

"I've seen the city lord."

"Lord Qi, have you ever been to the main city of Xiliang City?" Li Xiao asked.

"I haven't visited the City Lord's Mansion yet, it's not that I haven't taken the City Lord seriously, I really can't get away for more than half a year. The population of Baiyang County has surged, and firewood, rice, oil, salt, commercial fields, houses and forests all need to be controlled. Especially for the foreign population, there are people making trouble almost every day, which is really ...... Lord Castle, you take a look at the copywriting first. ”

Qi Bai moved a large box out of the shelf and put it in front of Li Xiao.

Li Xiao picked up a few books, opened them and browsed them roughly. No matter how big or small, everything is remembered clearly and organized.

"Lord Qi is hard." Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

This Qi Bai, who is young, serious and responsible, is indeed a pillar of talent. It's just that Qi Bai's realm is a little lower now.

If someone makes trouble in the city, a slightly higher realm will give Qi Bai a headache.

"City Lord, doesn't Baiyang County use the rules and regulations of Xiliang City? I read the documents sent by the main city, and I thought it was very good, and I originally planned to carry it out, but I was met with a lot of resistance. I would like to ask the city lord to send some more people over, if the Xiliang City system can be implemented, it will be of great benefit to Baiyang County. Qi Bai said.

"Lord Qi, I, Xiliang City, will not use only one system, one city with multiple systems is the foundation of freedom. Baiyang County still uses the system of Baiyang County, and there is no problem. I give you more power, you can follow the establishment of Xiliang City, set up more government offices in Baiyang County, appoint talents, and assist you in controlling Baiyang County, which is also equivalent to changing the law and reforming. Li Xiao said.

Qi Bai didn't expect that Li Xiao would not send someone over to restrain him, but let him take power alone.

However, Qi Bai is also smart, and before Li Xiao arrived, Qi Bai didn't make much moves.

Now in Qi Bai's eyes, Li Xiao is the master, and he, Qi Bai, is Li Xiao's courtier. The master did not give an order, so he naturally could not mess around at will.

is waiting for Li Xiao's words.

"City Lord, since you have spoken, then listen to some of my thoughts......"

Qi Bai said a word to Li Xiao, there was no chewing words, no flowery rhetoric, all the truth.

"Baiyang County has you in charge, I am very relieved." Li Xiao gave a jade plate to Qi Bai, this is a no-nothing card that can be passed in the City Lord's Mansion, and being able to enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion is naturally the highest level pass in Xiliang City.

Li Xiao got up, looked at the sky, and said, "In the future, Baiyang County will change from a border town to a border town. Master Qi, when you have time in the future, take the time to go to Shuiling Mountain for a walk and listen to the lecture hall of the saint on the mountain. ”

"But Shuiling Mountain, the place where the gods live, it's not good for me to enter at will, right?" Qi Bai asked.

Qi Bai naturally wanted to go to Shuiling Mountain to take a turn when he had time, if he could listen to Bai's senior's lecture hall, it would naturally be very good, and it would also be of great benefit to his cultivation.

"Shuiling Mountain is also my territory, you have the City Lord's Mansion Nothing to do, no matter which place in Xiliang City, you can enter. If you show a no-do card and someone dares to stop you outside, tell me and I'll let people know how to behave. Li Xiao said.

"Thank you, Lord Castle." Qi Bai bowed deeply towards Li Xiao.

During this period of time, Qi Bai actually didn't know how to balance the relationship between Baiyang County and the main city of Xiliang City.

The reason why Baiyang County has been able to develop rapidly is all due to the Cao Yun ferry. And Cao Yun cooperated with Xiliangcheng, and now it can be said that he has a firm grasp of the economic lifeline of Baiyang County.

Therefore, Qi Bai took the initiative to ask Li Xiao to send someone down to control, which can be regarded as a manifestation of handing over the power in his hands.

Because, the scale of Baiyang County will continue to expand. The real money produced in this place must be indispensable.

Li Xiao went to my wine pot, compared with the renovated restaurant before, the current restaurant, built a new three-story building, is the largest restaurant in the whole Baiyang County, but also the best business.

Dozens of guys have been added to the restaurant, and the shopkeeper has also changed, and Hu Fan is no longer the shopkeeper.

"Little brother, please inform your boss, just say that there is a kid surnamed Li and talk to him about cooperation." Li Xiao walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper has been accustomed to seeing dignitaries recently, and when he looks at Li Xiao's simple outfit, he doesn't look like a businessman at all.

I guess it's charlatans and the like.

"I'm sorry for you, the boss is busy with things, and I don't have time to see you, please go back." The shopkeeper said nonchalantly.

"Then may I ask, where do you Boss Hu live?" Li Xiao asked.

"No comment." The shopkeeper said while tapping the abacus.

"It's really promising, I became the boss and set up a score for Lao Tzu." Li Xiao muttered.

At this time, a shopkeeper suddenly ran down from upstairs, with a blue nose and swollen face, and several footprints on his white clothes, he must have been beaten.

"The shopkeeper's shopkeeper, that gang won't give money, you hurry up and tell me, they already owe three thousand taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a bitter face.

At this time, a group of five or six people came down from the upper floor.

The man in the middle, dressed in brocade and jade belt, surrounded by a group of people, is extraordinarily magnificent.

The group ignored the shopkeeper and was about to go out, but the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out.

"Mr. Sun, shouldn't you settle your accounts for more than a month?" The shopkeeper walked up to the man with a smile on his face.

The man, known as Mr. Sun, did not speak. A man next to him stepped forward and said angrily to the shopkeeper: "What, are you afraid that our husband will eat the overlord meal and not give money?" ”

"No, that's not what it means, our small shop has the rules of a small shop, eating and drinking to pay the bill, it's a matter of course. If we are like Mr. Sun, if it drags on for a month or two, then we won't be able to do this business. The shopkeeper sneered.

The man next to him walked up to the shopkeeper, condescending, looking like a god.

"Don't say that we don't pay for a month, where will our Sun family come to eat, don't we eat for ten months and eight months and then settle the bill together? Besides, our Sun family has to do business in Baiyang County for a long time. How big is Sun's family business? Come to you every day to eat, and you have to pay for a meal, isn't it too troublesome? With your little eyesight, business will be yellow sooner or later. The man said coldly.

"This is the custom rules of Xiliangcheng, we also do things according to the rules, we are all part-time workers, and we can't explain to the boss, we are embarrassed to be slaves." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Tell you, in Baiyang County, even if the Cao family comes, you have to sell me a few points of my Sun family's name! Eating at your house is to save your face! Talk to us about the rules? Our Sun family is the rule! Don't be embarrassed, get up! The man threw the shopkeeper to the ground.

"Mr. Sun......"

"Noise, shut him up." Mr. Sun spit out a sentence lightly.

Several people immediately stepped forward and beat up the shopkeeper.

Li Xiao, who was originally planning to intervene, saw a patrol officer running in outside, and stood by and watched again.

I don't know where this Sun came from. However, judging from the arrogance of this group of people, no matter where they come from, they must not follow the rules.

"Guys, don't make trouble in Poplar County." The leading official went up to pull people, but they were overthrown as soon as they were pleased.

"Get out of the way, or we'll be beaten with you!" The man pointed at the leading servant and threatened.

If you don't take the officials in your eyes, you naturally don't take the county officials in your eyes.

That young man surnamed Sun should have a lot of background.

However, Li Xiao feels that such a person cannot achieve a big deal.

"Stop."
