Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the villagers entering the city hurried by with numbness and vigilance on their faces.

Only when the city gates opened could the streets see a hint of life, and the hungry people outside the city left one after another, taking away or blending into the dead silence.

The stone road under my feet was full of potholes and muddy.

The buildings on both sides were even more dilapidated, with mottled paint and falling bricks on the walls, which made people feel desolate.

The waterways on the roadside were pitch black, the silt had flooded the road surface, and the air was filled with a bad smell that made people cover their mouths and noses.

A group of people appeared on the street. They were dressed in bright clothes and in an orderly manner, which was out of place in this dilapidated street.

Although the men looked a little thin, they had white cloth covering their faces and were using shovels and rakes to quickly clean the ditches on the street.

Merchants who got up early gathered together to watch: "Why did the anti-water official think of cleaning the gutters here this year?" In previous years, only when a new official took office or a wealthy family had a good fortune would they show mercy and allow these little people to take advantage of the situation.

"These guys seem familiar." Several vendors took a closer look and found that it was none other than Ada and his friends. In the past, these young men used to hang out in the shops on the East Street and had done many evil things, bullying men and women.

I didn't expect that I would have to do this kind of work today. Several shopkeepers looked at each other in surprise.

A property guard was stared at by the burning eyes behind him. His face was a little stiff and he pulled up the corners of his mouth and said in a muffled voice: "Good morning, shopkeepers. We are now the property guards of East Street. We will make a living here in the future. Please bear with us."

"East Street Property?" The shopkeeper looked confused.

"Hey, you don't know that." Another team member took over the conversation, "We are the boss. We bought this shop and set up East Street Property Management. We will be responsible for digging ditches and paving roads in the future!"

Hearing his words, several merchants were surprised. These young rogues who once gave them a headache have now become the so-called East Street properties.

They felt heavy in their hearts. In the past, this street was a mixed crowd. The rich families didn't have to worry, and the small families could have food to eat by paying some money and grain. But now someone has closed down his shop.

Moreover, they can make these street cleaners obey their orders, which is not a good thing. How can these small vendors deal with it?

"If this area is owned by the big families, then wouldn't it be even more difficult for us common people in the future?" Most of their shops were rented. They had just had a few days of peace when they heard the bad news. They were afraid that after the jackals left, the tigers and leopards would come.

"Don't panic, everyone. The Xie family in the county city has always been kind and tolerant. We should not lose our composure." Someone who knew the news comforted them.

"Xie family in the county city is fine."

"But no one has come to collect the rent in the past few days. Could it be that the price will be raised in the future?" The guy who spoke shifted his gaze to the property team members who were cleaning the ditch.

Several small merchants were so worried that they could only continue to ask the East Street Property Management Team: "Gentlemen, what is the future income of this shop?"

Since they are repairing the road and digging the ditch, they want to improve the street. So small households like them should be sensible and pay their respects to the owners as soon as possible.

"You are all old households, don't worry. The owner has set the rules. There is a notice posted at the street entrance. Please go there."

The black-faced man who was speaking glanced at the progress of the other side, which was obviously faster than theirs, and felt impatient.

He just bowed, picked up the rake and ran away without waiting for a reply, so as not to delay them from earning the bonus.

It goes without saying that several shopkeepers rushed to the street corner.

Xie Xian didn't know how much attention her new East Street rules had attracted. She was fetching water and wiping the table at the moment. Yes, she, Xie Lao Er, was back at the Xie Family Ancestral Hall.

"Where did you get all these tricks from? Fortunately, nothing went wrong. County Magistrate Bai has even received a letter from him." I don't know what this girl did to make the third house willing to give up the land deed.

A few years ago, the third wife wanted to use this shop to exchange for benefits from him, but he had been retired for many years and ignored her. Unexpectedly, this girl was tricked away as soon as she came back.

"Did your third uncle get any benefits from you?" Xie Yun asked worriedly.

Xie Xian blinked: "No! I just looked at the account book and communicated with my third uncle (checked the current account), and then my third uncle brought the land deed to me."

Xie Yun was suspicious. How could Xie Feng, that stingy man, be so kind?

"Really! I just returned to the clan and I don't have any wealth or goods to show off. What can I show off?" Xie Xian spread her hands.

Xie Yun suddenly realized and looked at Xie Xian with guilt on his face, "I have suffered a lot for the second girl all these years, alas!" It was because these men were ignorant of household chores, and the two girls have not had a good life.

Most of the second house's money was used to subsidize the Blackrock Guards, and there was little left for the little girls except their mother's dowry.

Xie Yun frowned. The land was close to the city gate, with many small vendors and gangs, and it had been in disrepair for a long time. They had people under their command, but if they were to withdraw their manpower, it would only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

The big families looked down on the small families but could not swallow them up, so the third branch got the advantage. However, the third branch only got a land deed and collected rent, and the local tyrants inside could not do much.

"Xie Feng is a nagging person. He didn't hit him hard enough back then." Xie Yun said leisurely. From his point of view, this mess was definitely caused by the third room on purpose. "He couldn't handle it himself, and he coaxed Xian to take over. Is there anyone who would cheat his niece like this?"

Xie Xian: “!” She didn’t dare to say that she was the one who asked for it.

"After some time, let your sixth uncle also use some strength."

The old locksmith held the key in his pocket and shook it gently: "It's not difficult to take them all. The Cui family's grain store can be exchanged for the shop on West Street. The Liu family's is also easy to deal with. But the Jin family's bank account may take some effort."

He thought to himself that there were still a few Black Stone Guards who could be used in the clan, whether openly or secretly. Since the young master wanted to do something, he could just prepare the manpower himself.

Xie Xian was confused: "Those big and prosperous shops..." Forget about that!

I am an ordinary office worker whose salary is not enough to pay taxes. I have never played business wars! I am satisfied with having a few shops connected to each other. I have no intention of taking over the whole East Street.

I have bad teeth, please calm down.

"Well, Uncle! I think just a few shops are enough." Xie Xian was depressed. Why do I need so many shops? Am I going into real estate?

Isn't it just to collect rent and set up a property management company to get some information sources? Is it so difficult to lie flat? She has been careful enough, and none of the big killers such as cement, glass, and sugar have stuck to her hands.

"Don't worry, my lady. Just do what you want to do. I will take care of the other problems." The old man Suo was calm and composed.

Xie Xian saw A Weng nod, "Thank you very much, old man. I will let Qingdai tell me if there is anything." She felt that every time she encountered resistance from within the clan, as long as Qingdai knew about it, it would be resolved in a few days. Now she was sure that her master was here.
