Wang Xizhou and Zhuxi collided in one place.

Although the eyes of the two were calm, the emotions flowed and the undercurrent was surging.

The confrontation between the two of them caused the temperature in the lobby to drop a little.

Seeing that the two were arguing, and there were even signs of another big fight, Li Jingshuang hurriedly came to the rescue, "Two, two, don't be angry first, I'm here today to discuss how to properly deal with folk rumors and eliminate the negative impact caused by this." Don't hurt the harmony because of these trivial matters of people's livelihood. ”

Wang Xizhou did not back down at all, his tone was firm, and his words were sonorous and powerful, "The disagreement between Xizhou and Xikeqing is fundamentally due to the strict rules and regulations of Velvet City. If it is not improved, not only Xizhou, but also thousands of people in Velvet City will have complaints in private. Over time, if there is a force among the people that can compete with the City Lord's Mansion, and the situation of Velvet City is similar to that of the Borderland, the two sides will fight against each other and compete for power, and the future situation is unimaginable. ”

"It's alarmist." Xuan Xi yawned, "When there are signs of this, you have to find and stifle them in time, really when the guards of the City Lord's Mansion eat dry food?" Or do you think that our City Lord's Mansion is all stupid? ”

"Could it be that you want to hold the Eelvet City tightly in your hands and plan step by step for your own things?"

Xuan Xi glanced at Wang Xizhou and did not answer.

Li Jingshuang smiled, "Mr. Wang is serious, the whimsical idea of taking Velvet City into his pocket is that I have the heart, but I don't have the strength." ”

The flower monster laughed, and his words were yin and yang, meaning something, "That's not necessarily. You don't, maybe someone else does. ”

I didn't take a look out of the corner of my eyes to sweep the flowers, and I didn't bother to respond to this dirty water.

Feeling ignored, Hanaevil is not angry. After all, he is a strong man in the Gathering Peak Realm, and it is normal to look down on himself as a weak chicken in the Spirit Devouring Realm.

Because the flower evil himself is often like this.

Li Whale smiled apologetically at Hua Xie, who also nodded in acknowledgment.

As the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out.

Besides, there is a debtor who is wronged, and it is the annoying Zhuxi who is wrong with him, and he is not this Li City Lord, so let's not be crazy about others.

Li Whale took a sip of tea and began to explain to everyone: "Ten years ago, the old city lord Zhang died of serious illness, and I took over the position of the city lord of Velvet City. At that time, the velvet city looked like it was living and working in peace on the surface, but it was rotten inside. In the land of Velvet City, there are sand bandits in the north, plundering the passing merchants and passers-by; In the south, there is a land where the rebels divided the three towns and set themselves up as kings; The western part is neglected and barren, and even most of the original official roads are covered under the yellow sand; The five towns in the east, which are slightly richer, are bordered by the other two cities, and their ownership is a matter left over from history, each with its own arguments and disagreements. In addition, the economy, army, patrol and other messes of Velvet City are all left to me to deal with. To tell the truth, in that situation, except for using thunder means to forcibly suppress, restrict, and improve the situation in Velvet City, I really can't think of a second better way. Setting such a strict routine is really a helpless move. ”

Wang Xizhou rubbed his fingers against the jade beads in his palm, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In fact, you can use benevolent government and good deeds, step by step, do things one by one, and slowly draw on them." In this way, the situation will be much better, and the people below will not be prone to resentment, which will backfire, and even rebound, and the situation will be worse than before. ”

"In hindsight, it's on paper." Xue Xi snorted coldly.

Wang Xizhou frowned.

"You don't be naïve enough to think that these problems will stop the moment you want to deal with them, and then you can solve them one by one before they will continue to function, right? These questions are all tied together, and they affect the whole body! Do you want to go a long time? Yes, but do you have what it takes to sustain it? You are a cultivator, you have a long lifespan, and you can sit in the town for hundreds of years, and the Edelweiss City can indeed grow for a long time and slowly get better. But do the people of Velvet have the life to wait? Or do you think that with your naïve and unrealistic brain, you can turn the yellow sand of the Edelweiss City into a livable oasis? Let me tell you, if you don't force the finances of Velvet City to be raised and free up some economic control yellow sand, within three hundred years, Velvet City will become a desert of ten thousand miles! Completely turned into a deserted dead place! There was a flash of disgust in her eyes.

The people he hates most in his life who can only talk on paper and have empty mouths and white teeth, especially scholars, have a sanctimonious hypocritical atmosphere, which is really rancid!

Among the people who don't want to kill the most, there are scholars.

If nothing else, he has a habit of cleanliness and is dirty.

As soon as Wang Xizhou wanted to speak, Li Jingshuang added on the side: "Ten years ago, the annual income of Velvet City was 20,000 taels of gold, and now it is 500,000 taels of gold. In addition, the annual expenditure of the Edelweiss City was 37,000 taels, and the cost of controlling the yellow sand was 50,000 taels of gold a year. ”

Wang Xizhou stopped talking.

With his mind and ability, he really couldn't think of a Velvet City that could make an annual income of 20,000 taels of gold, but an annual loss of 17,000 taels of gold, take out 50,000 taels of gold to control the yellow sand.

Even if you give him time, you may not be able to figure out a solution.

In ten years, even if he uses the same method as Li Jingshuang, Wang Xizhou can't ensure that he can do the same as Li Jingshuang and take care of the velvet city into the thriving appearance it is today.

What's more, what about the benevolent and good deeds I just mentioned?

In the face of this near-death situation, it's a joke!

Emotion and remembrance appeared on Li Whale's face, "In order to restrain the Shakou, I spent one year dealing with the Shakou, and in three years I built an army of 80,000 people. It took another three years to completely expel the sand and clear the boundaries of Velvet City. However, when the original team of 80,000 people returned to the team, only 169 people were seriously injured and 57 were slightly injured. Later, after increasing the number of personnel and being absorbed, there are now the four major guards of Eelweiss City. ”

"The southern traitors are actually not very difficult, 20,000 troops, it only took a year and a half to completely solve them."

"The western frontier only started two years ago when it was a little more stable, and now it has been slightly effective. At least the official roads can see the light of day again, and they will no longer be covered by yellow sand. ”

"And the five towns in the east, the Velvet City was in decline before, and they had no right to speak, so they were kneaded by the two neighboring cities at will. Now Velvet City is different from the past, and it gradually has some capital to negotiate at the table. In particular, the addition of the Pick-up Keqing and the establishment of the four guards patrolling the city have raised the status of Velvet City a lot. If nothing else, in a few months, the Three Cities Alliance, the ownership of the five eastern towns will be able to have results. Whether it is a peaceful negotiation or a forcible seizure, Velvet City will do whatever it takes to regain the ownership of the five eastern towns. The land of Velvet City is not allowed to be taken by anyone! ”

"As for the other problems of the Velvet City, it is too finely fragmented, more than the fine scales of the crucian carp. But now it has basically solved most of it, and it is not a big trouble. It's just that the drawbacks left over from the previous Thunder methods are now exposed. The people's resentment against the government is very deep, and the slightest disturbance will ignite a raging fire and burn to the top of the city lord's mansion. Now it's even more burned on Mr. Wang, I'm really embarrassed. ”

Wang Xizhou shook his head, "It's also that Xizhou didn't think about it well enough, and he didn't understand the details of the matter, so he rashly fought with Xikeqing." Xizhou is to blame for this matter. ”

Xuan Xi closed his eyes and recuperated by himself, ignoring Wang Xizhou's weak steps.

Li Jingshuang coughed.

Xue Xi raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Jingshuang.

Li Jingshuang had no choice but to smile helplessly: "I like him to be such a character, Mr. Wang forgive me." ”

Wang Xizhou waved his hand, indicating that he would not care about this.

Li Jingshuang asked again: "This is the situation in Velvet City now, I wonder if Mr. Wang has any good ideas to stop the rumors among the people?" ”

Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu and Hua Xie, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Xie, what do you think?" ”

Hua Xie shrugged, "I don't know anything about this, but if this thing falls on me, I won't follow the rules anyway." So my suggestion has no reference point. ”

Bai Gu didn't think about it, he directly threw out a sentence to lure him, and continued to eat the fruit on the table with Bai Xiaoxiao.

Wang Xizhou and Li Jing were both interested in Bai Gu's words.

The latter was curious about Bai Gu's identity, so he asked, "......Who is this little brother?" ”

"My name is Bai Gu, a poor boy, who came to the City Lord's Mansion with Brother Wang to eat and drink." Bai Gu said lazily.

Li Whale was stunned, but he didn't expect Bai Gu to say this.

Wang Xizhou smiled slightly, "City Lord Li, Xiaobai is not only a distinguished guest of my Shanshui Fang, but also a disciple of a sword immortal. ”

Li Jingshuang is a cultivator, so there are many things that don't need to be explained to him too much.

The weight of the four words of the Sword Immortal disciple is heavy, and I believe that Li Jingshuang has the bottom in his heart.

Li Jingshuang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this inconspicuous thin boy in front of him turned out to be a sword immortal disciple!

Unthinkable, not at all.

The world is crazy.

If you really can't judge people by their appearance, you will suffer a big loss!

Even Xuan Xi couldn't help but look up at Bai Gu. After a while, as if she was tired of seeing, she closed her eyes again and continued to close her eyes.

Li Jingshuang smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the identity of the little brother is now noble, but I am clumsy." ”

Bai Gu waved his hand, "It's not so troublesome, I don't like to engage in these virtual things, it's better to be real." ”

Li Jing nodded in response.

Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu, "Xiaobai, what did you just say about luring him with profit?" Xizhou was a little puzzled. ”

Li Jingshuang cast his eyes on Bai Gu.

Although Xue Xi closed his eyes and recuperated, his ears were not idle, and he also pricked up his ears to pay attention to Bai Gu's next words.
