She only wants to do infrastructure construction

"My lord, stop joking. The profit of selling groceries is very low. It is a hard job, and it is not suitable for your noble status, lord."

"You can't say that. Didn't Master Xu become one of the four richest men in Taihe Prefecture by doing this? That's fine. In another day, the king will come to ask you about business in person. Don't refuse me."

Xiao Jiuxi winked at Patriarch Xu as he spoke, fully interpreting Diao Erlang as cynical.

Master Xu forced a smile and nodded.

It was not a problem for several carriages to get stuck at the north gate of Taihe City. Seeing that Patriarch Xu was too embarrassed, Li Yewu urged the old butler to leave with his horse.

Patriarch Xu and his people stood aside respectfully, and waited for Li Yewu's carriage to go far away before slowly raising his head.

"My lord, what do you mean when you say that the King of Shang is here?"

The servants on the side had doubts in their eyes.

"Who knows, the couple are very thoughtful, so don't be careless by staring at them more."

"Yes."

After all, in the public, the few people did not chat any more, and were busy moving the goods again.

The North District is the busiest area in the main city of Taihe, because all the four major families have stores here, not to mention, there are also many gambling houses and brothels here, and this area is the favorite place for rogues to roam.

However, since the rogues were rehabilitated, fewer people came here to patronize.

At least the casinos and Goulan brothels had fewer customers.

At this time Xiao Jiuxi woke up, and was opening the curtain of the carriage to look out, seeing that the gambling houses and brothels full of guests in the past are now empty, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Patriarch Sifang and Patriarch Mu suffered heavy losses."

Li Yewu glanced at the gambling houses and brothels outside with a puzzled face: "What's the matter with Patriarch Sifang and Patriarch Mu?"

Soon she came to her senses and leaned close to Xiao Jiuxi: "You mean... the sponsors behind these shops are the Sifang family and the Mu family?"

Xiao Jiuxi nodded: "Uh... most of them are. Don't you know?"

Li Yewu shook her head, she really didn't know.

I really didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect that in addition to legitimate businesses, these four major families also run businesses in these black areas.

However, in this way, is it possible to find out the backers behind them by following their improper business?

Li Yewu was pondering the feasibility when suddenly a familiar person appeared on the street.

It's not who the Sifang Patriarch is.

The head of the Sifang family is running a wine shop and inn business, and just now he learned about his secret business, Li Yewu immediately had a new strategy.

She happily pulled up the curtain to greet Sifang Patriarch.

At that time, Patriarch Sifang could only stop when his name was called. When he looked back, it was indeed Li Yewu. He showed a distant but polite smile.

"Xiaomin sees the princess."

"You're welcome, I haven't seen Patriarch Sifang for a long time, what are you going to do?"

"It's just Xiaomin patrolling the shop. What about the princess, where did you come back from?"

"The concubine has gone to check the post." Xiao Jiuxi illustrated lively beside Li Yewu.

Seeing Xiao Jiuxi emerging from the carriage, Patriarch Sifang was taken aback for a moment, and bowed again.

"I heard that the prince returned to the city. I was going to visit the prince at the mansion, but that day the mansion heard that the prince had gone to the northern suburbs, so I couldn't meet him. Please forgive me."

"You're welcome, what have you been up to recently?" Xiao Jiuxi joined the group chat.

"Hey, isn't it because of the busyness of this restaurant, but the business has been deserted recently, and I am worried about what to do."

What Patriarch Sifang said was not polite, you must know that the most patrons of wine shops and inns are also rogues.

These rogues love to go to gambling houses and brothels when they have nothing to do, and the rest are wine shops and inns.

However, since most of the rogues were recruited, their source of customers has decreased a lot.

There are also some that have not been recruited, and they have avoided the limelight and rarely come to the city recently. It can be said that the business has been the worst in this half month after many years of business.

"I'm wandering around the North District every day, thinking about what new business I should do to make a living and the subsidy deficit."

"Speaking of which, I have a few ways to get money here. If Patriarch Sifang doesn't mind, come to my house tomorrow and I will tell you about it." Li Yewu enthusiastically took out a greeting card and handed it to Patriarch Sifang.

"That's so embarrassing." Patriarch Sifang hesitated to accept it.

It's not that he's afraid of Li Yewu's calculations, but it's not good for Li Yewu to call him alone at this juncture.

The four major families have had some gaps recently because of Li Yewu's matter. His original plan was to temporarily keep a distance from Shang Wang's Mansion. It would be unwise to get too close at this time.

However, Li Yewu forcefully pushed him the greeting card: "Sifang Patriarch is the head of the Four Patriarchs, and our prince, as the supreme leader of Taihe Prefecture, should have strengthened ties and cooperation.

You also know that the palace has sent a lot of money recently, just when the money is being used, and the owner of the Sifang family is also troubled by the business. This is an opportunity for us to cooperate!If it weren't for the fact that it is too late now and it is inconvenient to invite Patriarch Sifang to visit the mansion, I wish I could invite Patriarch Sifang to visit the mansion right now.

That's it. We must come tomorrow. My wife and I are waiting for you in the palace. "

Li Yewu involuntarily pushed the invitation to Patriarch Sifang, and the old butler whipped his whip and drove away without Li Yewu's reminder, without giving Patriarch Sifang a chance to refuse at all.

Looking at the young and old who cooperated seamlessly, Xiao Jiuxi shook his head again and again: "What's your plan?"

"Of course it's a good idea." Li Yewu replied without raising her head.

Not to mention who these four major families are, just from the fact that they all have power behind them, rectification needs to be done, otherwise it will become a hidden danger in the future.

However, to fight against this kind of cunning businessman, one cannot just use a strong attack like destroying a bandit stockade, but one has to play chess slowly.

Now that the infrastructure is slowly on track, it's time for her to play chess well.

Xiao Jiuxi looked at Li Yewu with a profound expression and couldn't help frowning: "They are all old foxes, don't underestimate the enemy. Also, isn't it good to maintain the status quo? Why do you have to re-establish the rules? I'm so tired .”

"Of course it didn't matter before, but now that Taihe Prefecture is going to develop, there must be no moths that are delayed."

If you don't even know who is behind them, how can you live in the same town with them?
Wasn't Patriarch Xu leading the assassination of Long Sanniang?It's just that I don't know if the other three major families have participated.

If there is, then these four people are all going to kill themselves, and they are motivated to kill first, how can she live in peace with them?
Now that I have time, I naturally want to start revenge.

Come and don't reciprocate indecently, isn't it?

……

Xiao Jiuxi felt terrified just by watching Li Yewu's series of gloomy psychological activities. This world is really difficult for women and villains.

Fortunately, I and this girl are allies rather than enemies. It seems that I have to be more careful not to offend her in the future.
