Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 768 Gamblers
At night, Wang Xiaolie didn't drink.After turning off the lights and going to bed, Lin Xi's skin was like cream, smooth and tender to the touch, it was really different from others.She fell into Wang Xiaolie's arms, with a shyness and indescribable tenderness.

Wang Xiao got up a little later the next day.After breakfast, he said to Cui Qing: "I won't go to the government office today, you go and get back the urgent official documents. After a short rest, my wife and I will go to the Department of Landscape Architecture and take a walk."

Cui Qing said yes.

When Lin Xi cleaned up and came out, she was still a little shy and blushed when she saw Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie secretly laughed in his heart.He 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 no big event today. I will go to the garden hall with you to have a look, and it can be regarded as a long-term experience."

Lin Xi nodded.Said: "I'm just afraid of missing your official business."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Originally, the newlyweds will have a few days off. This is what should be done. What is there to delay the business?"

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

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

After entering Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie forbade the folks to use mules to pull carts, and they could only go out in ox carts or donkey carts.Even Wang Xiaolie follows this rule.Now is the time of war, and horse mules are important strategic materials, so naturally they should be restricted.Because Guanzhong donkeys 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 families out, and made the land available for the landscaping department.Originally, Wang Xiaolie wanted to place the Department of Landscape Architecture outside the city, but now there are too many open spaces in Luoyang City and it is too far outside the city, so he put it here.

On Changxiamen Street, just turned to Jian'anmen Street, when I saw a man rushing out of an alley next to him.Behind him, there are five or six big men chasing closely.After a few steps to catch up, the big man pushed the man to the ground and kicked him non-stop.

Wang Xiaolie stopped his horse and watched for a while.Calling Cui Qing over, he asked, "Is Luoyang City in such a mess now?"

Cui Qing crossed his hands.Dao: "The neighborhood was originally the place where fortune-tellers and divinationists lived. The people who fled to Luoyang recently lived here. There are too many people, and the government is difficult to control, so it is very chaotic. Fighting is a common thing every day, and it is a common thing to control the people Already used to it."

With a dark face, Wang Xiaolie said to Cui Qing: "You go and ask what is the matter. If there is no grievance, then don't worry about it."

Cui Qing sang Nuo and walked quickly.

After a while, Cui Qing came back and reported with crossed hands: "Back to Xuanfu, it's a few gamblers playing tricks. The one on the ground is called Song Si, who cheated in the casino and was chased out. He doesn't have much money either. Because of this, he was pushed to the ground and beaten up by some big men."

"There are casinos in Luoyang—" Wang Xiaolie murmured thoughtfully.

After a while, after taking a deep look, Wang Xiao said, "Let's go."

Encountered this incident on the road, Wang Xiaolie lost all interest.When I arrived at the Department of Landscape Architecture, I called the supervisor to accompany my Lin Xi on a tour.
One of the most proud things for Wang Xiaolie in the Department of Landscape Architecture is to build several greenhouses out of glass.This year, I raised some peonies in the greenhouse and used them for appreciation during the Spring Festival.In the future, the Department of Landscape Architecture will build more greenhouses for crop research.

Although glass is not uncommon in wealthy families, Lin Xi was still very surprised to see the conservatory, and wandered around there.

Wang Xiaolie said: "This thing is very good. I want to build some in the government office and grow some vegetables. Even in winter, it is not difficult to eat green leafy vegetables."

Lin Xi said in surprise, "You can still grow vegetables here? Is there any benefit?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's warm inside, and summer vegetables can be grown in winter. Think about it, how rare it is to eat leeks and celery when it snows in winter! Otherwise, how precious the glass is. Wouldn't the house be a pity!"

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

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

Lin Xi smiled and said, "My father is reluctant. If you pretend, he will definitely ask you to convert it into cash."

Wang Xiaolie said: "My father-in-law is good at living. However, I have money, and besides, we buy glass cheaper than others, so it doesn't matter."

For these things, Wang Xiaolie has always insisted on paying for them himself.But his identity is there, even if he pays, it is much cheaper than the market price.Coupled with various discounts, for the same thing, Wang Xiaolie can buy the best at the cheapest price.

This is different from using public money.With public money, the people who deal with it are the more expensive the better, regardless of how much money is spent.The price is all expensive, and the person who handles it can also benefit from it.

Seeing that Lin Xi was in good spirits, Wang Xiaolie was not in a hurry to go back.After turning around for a while, I took the supervisor to help me with a table and sat down in the open space.After calling Cui Qinglai, Wang Xiaolie said, "Take a few people to the place where gamblers fight today. Find out how many people live there, what they do for a living, how many casinos are there, and how many are allowed by the government. Place. Where did these people come from?"

Cui Qing said: "Xuan Fu has to take care of it, why bother! As long as their casino is closed, where are they going to make trouble!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "It's not like this! You have to understand why the casino is open there? Fighting during the day is common? The Henan government must not ignore it, it should be in charge. Why? This is to find out these people Where did it come from, what is it for. If you think it’s messed up, use heavy codes, it can only cure for a while, it can’t solve the root cause.”

Cui Qingcha sings Nuo.

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "To be honest, I don't want you to do this kind of thing. If something happens in the local area, the magistrate should find a way. But, often the magistrate doesn't know how to deal with it. It’s easy to explain, so you can lie to others. It’s not easy to be a magistrate, it’s inevitable.”

Cui Qing nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have to find a way to prevent the local officials from being so embarrassing. Also, I am also the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, and the local affairs are within my power. The place is not peaceful, and it is also my responsibility." responsibility."

Cui Qingdao: "It's just a common practice for Xuanfu to also be the magistrate."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "It's a common practice, but it's okay to not do things. Many things, judges and recorders joining the army can't make the decisions, it's up to the magistrate to decide."

Although as the magistrate of Henan, Wang Xiaolie really didn't care much about ordinary political affairs, and handed them over to a few subordinates.But for some things, the subordinates do not have the right to make decisions, and he, the prefect, must come forward.
