At night, Wang Xiaolie didn't drink. After turning off the lights, he went to bed. Lin Xi's skin was like gelatin, smooth and tender to the touch. It was indeed different from others. She fell into Wang Xiaolie's arms with a shyness and indescribable tenderness.

.

The next day, Wang Xiaolie got up a little later. After breakfast, he said to Cui Qing: "I won't go to the government office today. You go and get the urgent official documents. After resting for a while, my wife and I went to the Garden Department for a leisurely walk.

.”

Cui Qing said yes.

When Lin Xi finished cleaning up and came out, she was still a little shy and blushing when she saw Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie secretly smiled in his heart and said: "Yesterday you said that chrysanthemums are beautiful, but you didn't know how many exotic flowers and trees there are in the garden hall. There is nothing important today. I will go to the garden hall with you to have a look, which can be regarded as gaining a lot of experience."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "I'm just afraid of missing your official business."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Originally, a wedding requires a few days of vacation. This is what should be done. Why should we delay official business?"

Cui Qing prepared a car to escort Wang Xiaolie and Lin Xi out.

Wang Xiaoyou rode a horse, Lin Xi rode an ox cart, and the guards all changed into civilian clothes.

After entering Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie prohibited civilians from using horses and mules to pull carts. They could only ride ox carts or donkey carts when going out. Even Wang Xiaolie followed this rule. Now is the war period, and horses and mules are important strategic materials.

, naturally it should be restricted. Because donkeys in Guanzhong are born vigorously, selling donkeys has become a good business in the past two years.

The Garden Department is in Gong'anfang. Wang Xiaolie moved all the remaining houses and used the vacant land as the land for the Garden Department. Originally, Wang Xiaolie wanted to place the Garden Department outside the city, but now there is too much open space in Luoyang City.

There were many, but it was too far outside the city, so I put them here.

After getting on Changxiamen Street, and just after turning onto Jian'anmen Street, I saw a man suddenly rushing out of an alley next to him. Behind him, there were five or six big men chasing after him. After a few steps, they caught up, and the big man grabbed the man.

Pushed him to the ground and kicked him repeatedly.

Wang Xiaolie stopped his horse and watched for a while. He called Cui Qing over and asked, "Is Luoyang City so chaotic now?"

Cui Qing crossed his hands and said: "The neighborhood is originally a place where fortune-tellers and fortune-tellers live. People who have recently fled to Luoyang live here. There are so many people that it is difficult for the government to control them, so it is particularly chaotic. Fighting is common every day.

The common people have long been accustomed to this."

Wang Xiaolie said to Cui Qing with a dark face: "Go and ask what it is. If there is no grievance, just leave it alone."

Cui Qing made a promise and hurried away.

After a while, Cui Qing came back, folded his hands and reported: "Back in Xuanfu, there were a few gamblers having a fight. One of the guys on the ground was Wainneck Song Si. He was chased out for cheating in the casino. He didn't have much money either.

So he was pushed to the ground and beaten up by some big men."

"There is also a casino in Luoyang City-" Wang Xiaolie murmured, thoughtfully.

After a while, Wang Xiaolie took a deep look and said, "Let's go."

Encountering this incident on the way, Wang Xiaolie lost all interest. When he arrived at the Garden Department, he called the supervisor to accompany his Lin Xi on the tour.

One of the things that Wang Xiaolie is most proud of in the Garden Department is building several glass greenhouses. This year, he raised some peonies in the greenhouse to enjoy during the Spring Festival. In the future, the Garden Department will build more greenhouses for

Research crops.

Although glass is no longer uncommon in wealthy people's homes, Lin Xi was still curious when she saw the conservatory and walked around there.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "This is very good. I want to build a few in the government office and grow some vegetables. This way, even in winter, it will not be difficult to eat green leafy vegetables."

Lin Xi said in surprise: "Can you grow vegetables here? Are there any benefits?"

Wang Xiaolian said: "It's warm here, and you can grow summer vegetables in winter. Think about how rare it is to be able to eat leeks and celery when it snows in winter! Otherwise, glass would be so precious, and it would be so rare to build such a building

Isn’t it a pity for the house!”

Lin Xi nodded: "It's a pity. When I built a house at home, I only used glass in the living room and study room this year. I can't bear to part with it in other rooms!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Although glass is precious, it is not that expensive. In a few days, install all the rooms in your house with glass!"

Lin Xi laughed after hearing this and said, "My father is reluctant to part with it. If you go and pretend, he will definitely ask you to convert it into cash."

Wang Xiaolie said: "As my father-in-law, I know how to make a living. However, I have money. Besides, we can buy glass cheaper than others, so it doesn't matter."

Wang Xiaolie has always insisted on paying for things like these. But where is his identity, even if he pays, it is much cheaper than the market price. Coupled with various discounts, Wang Xiaolie can get the same thing.

Buy the best at the cheapest price.

This is different from using public money. When using public money, the people who deal with it will always make the price as high as possible, regardless of how much it costs. Even if the price is expensive, the people who deal with it can also benefit from it.

Seeing that Lin Xi was in a good mood, Wang Xiaolie was not in a hurry to go back. After walking around for a while, he got a table from his supervisor and sat down in the open space. After calling Cui Qing, Wang Xiaolie said, "Bring a few people with you.

The place where gamblers fight today. Find out how many people live there, what they do for a living, how many casinos there are, and how many places are allowed by the government. Where do these people come from?"

Cui Qing said: "Xuanfu wants to take care of it, why bother? As long as their casino is closed, why bother making trouble!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "That's not how it works! You have to understand, why is the casino open there? Are fights common during the day? The Henan government must not ignore it, it should be in charge. Why is this? This is to find out these people

Where does it come from and what does it do? If you think it's a mess, just use Chongdian, it can only cure it temporarily, but it can't solve the root cause."

Cui Qing crosses his hands and sings a promise.

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "To be honest, I don't want you to do such a thing. When something happens in the local area, the local officials should find a way. However, often the local officials don't know how to deal with it. If the superiors find out about it, they won't do it."

It's easy to explain, so he deceives the superiors and conceals the truth from the inferiors. Being a local official is not easy, all of this is unavoidable."

Cui Qing nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have to find a way to prevent the local officials from being in such a difficult situation. Also, I am also the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, and local affairs are within my authority. If the local area is not peaceful, it is also mine."

responsibility."

Cui Qing said: "It's just a common practice for Xuan Fu to concurrently serve as magistrate."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "It's a common practice, but it's a good thing to do nothing. There are many things that cannot be decided by the magistrates and military officials. It is up to the prefect to decide."

Although as the prefect of Henan, Wang Xiaolie does not care much about ordinary political affairs and leaves them to a few subordinates. But there are some things that his subordinates do not have the power to make decisions, and he, the prefect, must come forward.
