He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"It's really tiring, but the cooperation agreement with the school has been reached."

After Leyou left the Youmei Business Hall, he got into the jeep that was waiting outside and drove towards Le's mansion.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to graduate from this joint college entrance exam. The curator has also agreed to allow graduating students to participate in the Beijing municipal civil service job interviews independently, killing two birds with one stone.

Upon returning to the Le Mansion, he saw Jia Gui sitting on the steps smoking, holding several thick stacks of books.

As soon as Jia Gui saw the jeep drive into the mansion, he threw down his cigarette, jogged over, opened the car door, and said to the people inside:

"Boss, those people in the City Lord's Mansion are truly despicable. They're always up to no good. The messenger said they're going to sell the skies over Beijing to the United States, and from now on, we'll have to pay to fly over them."

Upon hearing Jia Gui's words, Le You snatched the booklet from his hand and began to read it.

Seeing that Le You didn't say anything, Jia Gui stopped talking, but seeing the veins bulging on his arm, he slumped his shoulders and stood motionless by the car door.

A moment later, a suppressed voice came from inside the car:

"Jia Gui, get in the carriage and take me to the City Lord's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Jia Gui quickly wiped the sweat from his brow, made a gesture to the chubby man standing guard in the distance, and hurriedly got into the jeep.

Seeing Jia Gui's gesture, the chubby man panicked and ran into the office, picking up the phone to call the police station.

"Hey, is this Wang Gouzi? Quickly gather all the patrolmen at the City Lord's Mansion and await Boss Le's orders."

……

City Lord's Mansion

"Father, something terrible has happened! There are hundreds of patrols outside, and Le Weiguo is already at the gate!"

The city lord calmly put down his teacup and said:

"Stay calm, the advantage is in our hands, we're on the right track, don't panic, let's face this together."

After speaking, he slowly got up and walked out of the office, just in time to meet Leyou, who was walking into the courtyard.

"Haha, distinguished guest, distinguished guest indeed! It's been so long since we last met. Welcome, General Yue, for your guidance. I am the City Lord of Sijiu City."

"Zhifu, bring over two cups of Da Hong Pao tea."

Seeing this, Leyou nodded and walked towards the office. Although he was furious, he had to suppress his anger because of the smiling face opposite him.

"Commander, we soldiers speak frankly and directly. Let's be frank and not beat around the bush."

"It's laughable that you're sending my men to carry out your nonsensical orders."

The city magistrate chuckled, leisurely took out a cigar, lit it, and said:

"General Yue, you soldiers only know how to fight battles. You may not understand people's livelihood. You may not know that these are the conclusions reached by celebrities from all walks of life. They are all top experts in their respective fields. This is what it means to specialize in one's profession."

Le You's eyes widened, his anger surging. He shoved a handprint into the armrest of his chair, suppressing his rage as he said:

"Oh? You mean those armchair strategists? They're the best? They probably don't even know what a bullet looks like."

The city lord exhaled a puff of smoke and said:

"General Yue, don't be anxious. Let me explain, and you'll understand the situation."

For example, this construction tycoon, he's a major industrialist in the area. He said it's illegal for migrant workers to ask for their overdue wages, it's not like he won't pay them, just that they'll be paid a little later, it's not a big deal. He's also provided a lot of supplies to our city.

"Take this fertilizer tycoon for example. After several of his advisors investigated how to expand and strengthen the industry, they discovered that... after planting, the common people couldn't burn the fields. As long as they sprayed some pesticides and added some fertilizer, the following year's crops would have another bumper harvest. Why wouldn't they do it?"

"Take this carriage for example. You may not know this because you've been fighting all over the place, but in the summer, horse manure is everywhere, and the stench is unbearable. Why don't you just leave it still? The Yuan Dynasty's horses are much better in this respect. General Yue, you don't want to live in such a stench, do you?"

"In fact, every order issued by our City Lord's Mansion is for the benefit of the people. It's just that they don't understand our predicament. But even if we are scolded, we don't care. After all, it's all for the sake of a prosperous future a hundred years from now."

That was truly eye-opening experience; I learned a lot from the experience.

Le You also abandoned all etiquette, putting his feet up on the desk. Seeing this, Jia Gui quickly took out a cigarette and offered it to him, lighting a match.

Leyou took a puff and slowly said:

"Really? I heard that construction tycoon is a special envoy, yet he always delays paying wages. And those advisors are always in Beijing, traveling by car. They don't even know where the fields are. The city magistrate hasn't even looked into the living conditions of ordinary people. How many of them can afford Yuan Dynasty horses?"

The city magistrate chuckled and opened an exquisitely carved wooden box on the table, saying:

"General Yue, what's so great about this cigarette? I have some foreign cigars here; please have a look."

"Furthermore, regarding these orders, once they are issued, you only need to suppress them slightly, and they can be fully implemented later. The people will not complain at all, after all, since the defeat of the Sakura Kingdom, the entire nation of our Great Xia Kingdom has lived in peace and prosperity."

Upon hearing this, Leyou immediately stood up and glared fiercely at the city magistrate who was leisurely smoking a cigar. With a flick of his left hand, he overturned the 800-pound rosewood desk.

"If you dare, I wouldn't mind replacing the city chief."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, and Jia Gui and the others hurriedly followed him.

The city magistrate, sitting in his advisor's chair, stared grimly at the scattered official documents and the overturned table.

He growled in a low voice:

"That young brat, all he knows is brute force. He has power but no money; he'll die with nothing to his name and deserves to live a life of poverty."

Then, looking at his son slumped on the ground beside him, he sighed. "A son of a bitch who can't afford to pay the price."

"Zhifu, go and summon all the special envoys in the city, as well as the patrol team members,"

After the obese man strolled away, the city chief, his eyes glazed through the drifting smoke, said:

"So what if you're born with superhuman strength and are brave in battle? So what if you're a general? What matters is that you've threatened the interests of a large number of us. You deserve to die!"

"Once I contact the people you offended in Jiangxi and Ganzhou, I'll have the Military Intelligence Bureau deal with you. If that doesn't work, I think Su Xiong Guo will be happy to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes drifted to a telegram at his feet, on which several lines of text were densely written:

"Le Weiguo has divided his troops into two routes to Yuan State, specifically Hai Shenwei, where they have already clashed with the garrison. Should we continue to reveal their whereabouts?"

……

Le You, furious, turned around and punched the wall beside him, instantly creating a fist-sized hole.

"Jia Gui, have these patrolmen take turns keeping watch on the City Lord's Mansion and the four city gates. Report any developments immediately."

Jia Gui nodded repeatedly, then opened the car door, watched the jeep drive away, and then turned back fiercely to glare at the city lord's mansion, cursing:

"This is even worse than the notorious Zhou Bapi I know. I, Jia Gui, have never seen anything like this in my entire life."
