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

Seeing the lady go away, Suo Lao thought silently.

Over the years, the second branch of the Xie family did not seem to have many offspring who were familiar with household affairs. However, within half a month of the return of the queen, she quickly reorganized the furnace and winch, and finalized several mine transactions with the Cui family.

But the family master was very happy for a long time, saying that the second branch had a bright future. Without the support of the Weng master, how could the people in the clan be so obedient.

The life of the second house is getting better and better, so we can't let the queen fall into the calculations of villains. These old friends are now rubbing their hands and waiting for someone to jump out.

He strolled into the big teahouse, and soon after, a steward in gray came sideways.

He bowed and said, "Replying to Master Suo, that old lady Su slipped and fell when she was scolding her daughter-in-law the other day. She has been sent to the countryside by Qi Lang to be taken care of."

The key in Suo Lao's hand stopped gently, "Didn't the lady say anything?"

"Since the eldest lady knew that Su had tricked the girl into becoming her wife, she stopped asking about it." The gray-clothed steward was angry and couldn't believe that Su had such a scheming mind. . My family even treated her as a relative and showed respect to her.

"How many times has Qilang remarried?" Old Suotou's expression remained unchanged.

The gray-clothed steward was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, his anger turned into sadness and he couldn't believe it: "The third one, could it be my sister?" He suddenly looked up and stared at Lao Suotou.

The old man glanced at him and sneered, "You're not that stupid!" Then he waved his sleeves and concentrated on playing with the copper ring in his hand.

The other day, Su, a member of the branch of the first house, slipped while crossing a bridge, and happened to be bumped into by the second house’s daughter. The daughter did not approach her to avoid suspicion, but within a few days, the clan spread rumors that the daughter was disrespectful, disrespectful to the elderly and compassionate to the weak…

When asked about this incident, the lady only said that the road was usually busy and she saw the old woman calling for help for a long time on the bridge but no one came to rescue her, so she did not step forward.

After hearing this, Jiajun praised Lady Xian for her cleverness. He didn't care how the housekeeper who found out that his sister had been deceived into marriage and died would take revenge on Su.

The people in the sect have complicated minds. As long as they don't have any thoughts about his own lady, he is too lazy to pay attention to them.

It took some thought to get the steward of the first house to do the job. This person was none other than the eldest brother of the first wife of Su Qilang, the son of Su Airen.

This person has some skills in the big house, so he doesn't need to handle the follow-up matters personally.

After this incident, the eldest wife can be used. What was it that girl Xian was worried about just now?

From that day on, Xie Xian felt that the clansmen were more respectful to her. She was a little confused, not knowing that this was the dignity that a lady of the second house should have.

Xie Xian had been busy with East Street affairs recently, and many merchants were waiting and watching when her new rules came out. Especially the first one, she was used to the weapons control in Great China.

But in this era full of martial virtues, it was unrealistic to ban weapons on the streets, so she had to change it to weapons not being allowed to be exposed and fighting in the streets was prohibited.

She just learned that County Magistrate Bai had submitted a post regarding the East Street Property Guards. Daxia implemented the recruitment system and the guard system, and organizations such as the Black Stone Guards still had a staffing system.

But in ancient times, armed forces were strictly controlled by the imperial court.

In modern times, you can be a doorman with just a wooden stick, but in ancient times, even if your guards wore armor, they might not be safe. The military system of Guannei Road was only effective if it was composed of the armies of the wealthy families and slaves, so they could only ask for help from County Magistrate Bai.

In the Baoshu Hall of the Xie family's eldest room, Xie An sat opposite County Magistrate Bai, holding a chess piece.

County Magistrate Bai stroked his beard and sighed, "Thank you, dear. This year, there is a severe drought in the north. It is a pity that the hungry people are pouring into my Que County like a tide." County Magistrate Bai sighed, "How can my small Que County cope with it? East Street is already chaotic enough, and it is too close to the city gate..."

According to reports from the imperial court today, the new emperor was forced to issue a self-criticism edict, and now the county town is in chaos.

Xie An remained calm and responded with a smile: "You are worrying too much, as far as I know, my third uncle has given some money and food, and with these reliefs, the situation should be relieved a little."

There were continuous disasters at the beginning of this year. The city has not yet recovered and has suffered another disaster. Even though Chen County is close to the Huai River, the food is not enough to feed so many people.

County Magistrate Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he snorted, "Even so, the matter of the property guards in East Street is still inappropriate. I heard that most of the guards are from local gangs in East Street. If they collude and hurt the Xie family's golden branch, it will be bad."

In his opinion, although women are intelligent, they are not as calm as men, and it is difficult for them to convince others, and they may end up bringing shame upon themselves.

Xie An lowered his head and played chess: "Let the county master know that the sisters of the second branch of my Xie family are not ordinary people, and this matter has been approved by my father."

Seeing the surprise on County Magistrate Bai's face, he added, "Besides, the property guards are originally the militia of the county. If it is to maintain the peace of the neighborhood, it is legitimate for the county magistrate to mobilize them when needed."

County Magistrate Bai was shaken by Xie An's words. He frowned, as if he had thought of something. Many places were hit by disasters this winter, and the situation in the north was not good either. He was afraid that the barbarians would come too quickly this time. It was understandable that the Xie family wanted to add more soldiers besides the Black Stone Guard.

But why should I borrow the name of a little girl from the second house?

Seeing that his expression eased a little, Xie An began to increase the stakes. "Uncle Bai doesn't need to worry about the additional troops. My sister will take care of their weapons and monthly salaries. Besides, those people are from East Street, so we just need to discipline them."

He had heard Zhi Mo say that Madam Xian's group training method was very unique, and it had brought about tremendous changes in these scoundrels in just one month.

County Magistrate Bai looked embarrassed: "That... if that's the case, it's feasible. But please don't cause any trouble in East Street."

Xie An smiled and said, "To be honest with you, my sister has been very smart since she was young. She has dabbled in both civil and military tactics, and her intelligence is not inferior to that of men. Besides, our Xie family is not an unknown family, and my sister is the second wife of the emperor. I think you should have heard of her."

The Black Stone Guard, which was in charge of the second branch of the Xie family, belonged to the position of Xing Jun and had been dormant for many years with no one to inherit it.

This became a joke among the big clans. However, how could those who laughed at it know the real situation? The Black Stone Guard was very important. It was thanks to the Black Stone Guard that Que County was able to maintain stability after the disaster.

County Magistrate Bai raised his eyebrows. He felt as if he had heard Xie Xian's name somewhere before. After a moment's hesitation, he finally agreed, "Okay! Since Mr. Xie has guaranteed it, I will agree to this matter. Regarding the East Street property guards, I will promise to hire 500 local militiamen."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xie An bowed his hands in thanks. He glanced at Zhi Mo and then sat down to start another game with County Magistrate Bai.

Xie Xian was very happy to hear Zhi Mo's message, "Really, big brother is really a timely relief." She was secretly surprised. It turned out that big families are different. She originally thought that thirty to fifty people would be enough, but she didn't expect that she could have the organization of a battalion.

My brother is awesome.
