Ling Xin'an was sitting in the courtroom, flipping through past case files and learning about local customs and customs. She listened to the commotion outside and kept approaching. She raised her head and saw a group of brightly dressed people with angry expressions following behind Guo Song and others.

The government office came in.

As soon as Guo Song entered the government office, he saw Mr. Ling sitting in the courtroom, who was looking down at the case files.

Before the merchants arrived, a voice came: "Hurry up and call the county magistrate to come out."

After saying that, a group of people rushed into the courtroom aggressively.

Then he saw Ling Xin'an sitting above him, looking at him and others.

Ling Xin'an said calmly: "Captain Guo, why are so many people breaking into the court?"

"Back to your lord, these are all well-known and respectable businessmen in Jiangzhou Prefecture. They have some doubts about some of your recent policies and have come here specifically to seek advice."

Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "Let them come in."

President Liu in the crowd looked at Ling Xin'an above and frowned slightly.

If I remember correctly, the newly appointed county magistrate must have been here for eight months. We had a brief encounter with him on the day he arrived here.

That day, all the merchants in Jiangzhou Prefecture went to the city gate to greet him. However, Master Ling only said a few polite words to everyone present and never met again. This was just a matter of every newly appointed official and the local people.

A set of procedures that must be followed by businessmen and wealthy families.

Therefore, everyone's impression of Ling Xin'an is still based on knowing some background information about him. Of course, they have also heard that he was assassinated, but who will care about it.

"See Mr. Ling!" President Liu saluted slightly, with an arrogant look on his face.

Ling Xin'an smiled slightly and said: "Bosses, what are you doing for me?"

Immediately, someone from the side said angrily: "I heard that Master Ling is going to do some urban sanitation. He is not allowed to enter the city on horseback, and cattle and sheep are not allowed to enter the city to bring goods, etc.?"

Ling Xin'an looked at the speaker: "I wonder what I call this boss?"

"ever!"

“Boss Zeng is right!”

Shopkeeper Zeng couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect that the adult in front of him would admit it so straightforwardly, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Sir Ling, my surname is Liu. I have just been elected as the president of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce by my colleagues. Today I come to ask you to clarify my doubts." President Liu stood up at this time.

Ling Xin'an put down the case file in her hand, walked out of the office and stood in front of everyone.

"I wonder what President Liu wants to clarify?" Ling Xin'an said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Chairman Liu's face changed slightly, and he smiled and said: "Sir Ling, if you want to develop the economy of this mansion, it is a blessing for the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture, but shouldn't we take into account the aspirations of the people of our mansion?"

Ling Xin'an raised her eyebrows: "What President Liu said does make some sense. I wonder what the people of this mansion feel?"

President Liu raised his hand and said: "The purpose of developing the economy is to improve people's livelihood and provide convenience to the people. If the people cannot achieve freedom and convenience, then what's the point of developing the economy, Mr. Ling?"

"Continue!" Ling Xin'an waved her hand, signaling President Liu to continue.

"Everyone present is a businessman from our Jiangzhou Prefecture, who maintains the operation of the entire market. Lord Ling suddenly said that cattle and sheep trucks are not allowed to enter the city, and there is a fee for riding horses to enter. It is managed uniformly outside the city. This has never happened before.

What happened is unreasonable."

"Our store comes in and out multiple times a day and needs to bring in and out goods. It would be illegal if we have to pay a fee every time!"

Ling Xin'an said calmly: "It didn't happen before, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. President Liu and everyone happen to be here today. To be honest, I was still wondering if you would come later, but you are more serious than I thought."

Come earlier."

After a pause: "I have already decided. Each shop must agree to this matter if they disagree or agree. As for environmental sanitation, all the people living in Jiangzhou City must do the same, especially those on both sides of the main road.

, Just imagine, if all the people who come to this county in the future see that this county is clean and tidy, the windows are bright and clear, and they can smell the fragrance of flowers while walking on the road, who wouldn't like it here?"

Everyone changed their colors slightly, they didn't expect this.

"I saw the area around the Qingliu River singing and dancing every night. I didn't know that all the bosses went there every night, smelled the stinky smell, listened to the songs, enjoyed the songs, hugged the leading entertainers. When I looked up and smelled it, the river was filled with stinking water.

When I lowered my head, I saw that the river was full of filth. Bosses, are you very disappointed?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was what happened.

"Besides, our government has waived the city entry fee. Anyone entering the city in the future will not need to pay it."

"But, sir, do we have to walk into the city?" A thin, white-faced shopkeeper said.

"Boss, didn't Captain Guo tell you that you can ride horses into the city as long as you pay extra city sanitation fees? Of course, cattle and sheep are not allowed."

"Have you forgotten that there are still many common people in the inner city who also raise cattle and sheep and have to go out of the city to graze every day? Are they not allowed to enter the city?"

"Yes." Ling Xin'an nodded.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and suddenly felt that they seemed to have come by mistake today.

"What to do with the cattle and sheep of the people in the inner city?" asked a merchant.

"Those who raise cattle, sheep, and pigs in the inner city will all be moved out of the city. As for how to move, I will give it a try for the time being."

"Is it true that horses can no longer be raised in the inner city?" Another merchant was angry.

"No, they can be raised as well, but they need to be managed uniformly."

The merchants finally realized that Lord Ling in front of them seemed really different.

"I don't know if you still have any doubts. I will answer them one by one for you today." Ling Xin'an said with a smile.

President Liu stared at Ling Xin'an, who glanced at him and looked at everyone indifferently.

Instead, the court became quiet. Guo Song looked at Ling Xin'an and was shocked again. The reason why he didn't speak or stop him in the restaurant was because he wanted to see how Ling Xin'an faced these merchants.

When turning big things into small things, make it clear that the government will do this.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. Although the merchants have various powerful backers, in Jiangzhou Prefecture, Ling Xin'an has the final say.

"If the bosses don't say anything, I will assume that you have agreed. In this case, I have a few businesses in hand. I wonder if the shopkeepers are interested."

Ling Xin'an said "boss" and "shopkeeper", lifting and pressing down. The shopkeepers who were still feeling resentful at first were shocked when they heard Ling Xin'an's words.

But when I think about the fact that doing business with the government since ancient times, if there is no power to rely on, most of them will not end well, so they can't help but shut up.

After the words fell, some interested people were about to speak. Looking at President Liu in the middle, they hesitated to speak.

President Liu stared at Ling Xin'an with an unkind look on his face, but he knew that what Ling Xin'an said had already expressed enough meaning.

He will definitely do this, and even the Chamber of Commerce cannot stop him.

But as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Ling Xin'an only said that he could imagine that if this went on, Jiangzhou Prefecture would become more beautiful and pleasant. He was naturally happy to see him as a good businessman. But he still felt in his heart

Not angry.

Immediately, President Liu turned around and left, followed by everyone leaving one after another.

Ling Xin'an squinted her eyes, but the smile on her face did not change at all.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Sir, please stay!"

Ling Xin'an turned around and saw three shopkeepers entering the court again.

"Three people?" Ling Xin'an looked at the three people in front of her in surprise.

"See you, sir!" The leader was a thin shopkeeper about fifty years old, and behind him stood two shopkeepers with slightly round faces.

Ling Xin'an sat down and said, "I wonder if the three shopkeepers have any advice?"

The thin shopkeeper in front quickly smiled and said: "Sir, my surname is Han, this is shopkeeper Jin, and this is shopkeeper Qian."

Ling Xin'an hugged the three of them.

Shopkeeper Han spoke again: "Sir, I don't know what kind of business you mentioned before. I am very interested in the business you mentioned."

Ling Xin'an immediately smiled and said: "Since the three shopkeepers are like this, then follow me."

Immediately, he headed towards the inner courtyard.

Two hours later, the three of them came out of the Yamen happily. As soon as they left the Yamen, they couldn't restrain the excitement on their faces and ran towards their respective shops. After returning to the shop, they immediately wrote a letter to contact the family behind them.
