The Xue family held such a sumptuous banquet, and Aunt Xue condescended to personally accompany her. Naturally, she had something to entrust to her.

The first is that after Zhou Rui left, he hoped that Lai Wang could follow Cao and continue to protect the Xue family's business. Of course, the Xue family would not let Lai Wang come forward in vain. His hard work and expenses were always indispensable.

.

Secondly, as Xue Pan grew up, he became more and more unruly. Aunt Xue was worried that he would lose the family business in the future, so she thought of letting him go to a tire shop to gain experience first.

In fact, the Xue family will discuss these two matters directly with Wang Xifeng or Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng will directly arrange it. Naturally, they will not be able to refuse the visit.

And the special trip to invite Mrs. Xu to ask for help was a deliberate compliment.

Since the Xue family is so generous, how can the Xu family refuse to accept it?

He immediately promised again and again that he would definitely live up to my aunt's trust.

But at the same time, he also took a precautionary measure, saying that Young Master Yan Biao is the master after all, and if he really gets violent, Lai Shun alone may not be able to stop him.

"You can rest assured!"

Aunt Xue said hurriedly: "He is most afraid of my brother. Since there are members of the Wang family in the shop, Wenlong will not dare to act too much."

After talking about the business, Aunt Xue originally wanted to make some remarks to help him restrain his temper in the future. He would never be like Fang Yuan of the Supervisory Committee, who almost offended all the male servants of the East Mansion.

But remembering that her son's previous rude behavior had fallen into the ears of Xu's mother and son, she felt a little ashamed to speak out.

My own son is still poorly controlled, so how can I have the nerve to point fingers at others?

Therefore, without saying anything more, he waited until Xu's mother and son had had enough wine and food, and then personally sent the two of them out of the hall.

But he mentioned Lixiangyuan.

When Lai Shun came from his mother's side, he was relieved when he learned about the matter entrusted by the Xue family. Before he came, he was worried that the Xue family would make some unreasonable demands based on their old friendship, but now it seems that he is overly worried.

.

but……

My family will have a showdown with Wang Xifeng around the beginning of the month, and by then the responsibility of being the shopkeeper of the new shop will naturally be handed over to someone else.

So Aunt Xue expected to take care of Xue Pan herself, but she was afraid that she would be entrusted to someone else.

…………

In the next few days, Lai Shan began to rush around to various government offices, and it was only then that he finally realized the true meaning of the word 'haonu'.

In his previous life, when he was running the formalities, he wore a suit and tie with the title of boss, but in fact, it seemed that the third grandson had to be somewhat respectful to anyone with or without a title.

Nowadays, the man in green clothes clearly shows his inferior status. It can be seen that officials and businessmen are actually superior to others. Even subordinate officials are called "master" in front of him.

Even the seventh- and eighth-grade local officials were full of compliments saying, "He's here to take care of things."

Of course, this was mainly because the people he faced were all grassroots officials who were close to the people, and they were people who had a lot of bad intentions and attached themselves to Guo Jingcheng. If he still cared about respectability and purity, he would probably not be able to continue his job long ago.

But respect is still respect.

Laishun's main role is actually as a mascot and eyes and ears, and it cannot affect the decisions made by officials close to the people.

Apart from socializing, Laishun would not express any opinions on anything involving people's livelihood and economy. He only had to keep all the comments in mind, sort them into a "lazy bag" when he went back, and present it to Lai Da for review.

It's the same today.

In the main hall of Daxing County, under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, he sat on the right side of the table, holding a cup of warm tea and enjoying himself.

Yang Hancai, the official of Daxing County, who was on the left, was having a heated argument with several merchant representatives below.

"Fenggong City is already narrow, but you have been encroaching on the streets for many years. The empty eaves and eaves are connected to the left and right, almost covering the entire street!"

Just listen to Yang Hancai's impassioned speech: "You have to use some good materials to pay off, but they are actually dry wooden boards that are soaked with water. You can't even put a few tiles on them. Once the water is gone, the whole camp will be burned down?!"

"Sir, I don't agree with this." The merchant representative was not deterred at all, and immediately retorted: "Not to mention the distance, since I came to the throne, our streets have been very peaceful, and there has never been anything like this.

What kind of disaster has it been?"

"Isn't it?"

Another person continued: "The number of young men allocated by the mutual aid association this year has increased by 30% compared to last year. How can we allow fire and theft prevention to be carried out around the clock?"

Fenggong City was the earliest city built specifically to worship the Ningrong and Rongfus. It was not very large at first, so the streets were relatively narrow.

Over the past few decades, the streets have become increasingly complex, and all the places where shops can be built have been filled. Businessmen have begun to encroach on the streets in order to increase their income.

At first, it was just to build an extra two feet of eaves so that we could place two tables or display stalls outside the door.

But as time went by, those eaves, virtual eaves, and double eaves became longer and longer, almost reaching the point of blocking out the sky and the sun.

Not being able to see the sun is okay, but the main reason is that various hidden dangers emerge in endlessly and have reached a point where they cannot be ignored.

That's why Daxing County Government held this special political meeting.

In fact, Laishun also feels that the illegal buildings in Fenggong City should indeed be rectified.

But he couldn't say these words.

After all, most of the business in Fenggong City is closely related to Ning Rong's second mansion, so his butt should have been sitting on the side of the profiteers.

If you can keep silent, you are already objective and neutral.

"It's really good tea."

At this time, the county magistrate, who was sitting behind the public case, was sullen and said with a smile: "After all, it is the Duke's mansion, and it is such a high-quality product that can be used casually."

"Of course we can't go wrong with what our second mistress appreciated." Lai Shun also said with a smile: "But you have to know how to appreciate it. If you chew peonies like me, you will waste it. Since Mr. Shen likes it, I will do it another day.

I’ll bring you two more boxes.”

As he said this, he glanced at the two sides in the argument in the hall and said: "Anyway, it looks like there won't be any results from the discussion today."

Now the two sides have shifted the focus of their dispute from fire to the issue of how diseases can easily breed if they are not exposed to sunlight for a long time.

But the business representatives present do not have to sit in the store all day long. They have plenty of sunshine at home, so how can they care about what others do?

Shen Dan smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "So what if we can talk about it? After all, this matter is not something we can decide."

With that said, he rushed to Shunwei and cupped his hands: "I also asked the steward to explain the pros and cons when he returns home. After all, Fenggong City is not far from the Duke's Mansion. If there is anything... I'm afraid it will disturb the nobles.

"

"It's natural!"

Laishun agreed, but in his heart he disagreed.

Chen Dan obviously still thinks highly of the group of insects in Rongguo Mansion. With the immediate benefits, how could they care about any hidden dangers?

What's more, there is a high wall between Fenggong City and Guogong Mansion. If it really burns down, the most it can do is Ningrong Lane...

Uh~

After you are deregistered, you should change your place to live as soon as possible!

As expected, it didn't come out as expected. After arguing for half an hour, the two sides still failed to reach any consensus. Under the auspices of Shen Dan, they could only agree to discuss it another day, and then broke up unhappy.

After leaving the county government office, the merchants surrounded Laishun again, asking him to return to the government and ask the Duke's government to make decisions for the "people".

The leader also specially gathered two hundred taels of silver notes with his sleeves and stuffed them into Laishun's hand.

Tsk~

No wonder the powerful butlers in the house are all extremely rich. In addition to filling their own pockets, they also have such unexpected wealth!

However, after some hesitation, Laishun reluctantly returned the money - he didn't want to leave any clue to the government before successfully attacking the prince.

Um……

It seems that there is no clue left, but if he can't control the next one, can't he control his two hands?

The head of the merchant's face froze, and he was a little at a loss when Ting Laishun scolded: "What are you doing? The house has just been reorganized. Are you trying to harm me?"

"How dare you, villain!"

The merchant hurriedly apologized: "I just saw that the county magistrate extorted a lot of precious tea from you for us, so I want to compensate you for your losses. I have no other intentions!"

Thanks to his quick thinking, he thought that Lai Shun had deliberately made friends with him and said that he was being blackmailed by the county magistrate.

"Save it all."

Laishun waved his hand: "If you really care about me, help me find a few shopkeepers who have clear accounts and are honest and reliable people."

"Are you thinking..."

"Several new shops will be opened in the mansion in the next few days, and I was chosen to be in charge."

"Hey, you're not twenty yet this year, are you? What do you mean? I'm afraid even the manager at your age won't be so important!"

After hearing his words, there was a flood of flattery everywhere, and the merchants were clamoring to celebrate him.

Laishun refused with great difficulty, and Shi Shiran headed back home in a separately allocated carriage.

I don’t know...

After I ascend the throne and become an official, will I still be able to have such a glorious scene?

But no matter how much you use your power to suppress others, you are still just a dog after all.
