Li Siye was fully prepared, and with a bundle of quilts in his arms, he came to the gate of the main courtyard of the Metropolitan Protectorate. The two guards standing guard at the door saw that it was him again, looked inside, and hurriedly said: "Li Yuanjun, you go quickly, it's not that we won't let you in, the brigade will lead his old man to keep an eye on him."

Li Siye put his hands into his sleeves and said slowly: "You don't have to be embarrassed this time, the Protector Society personally sent someone to invite me in."

The two soldiers laughed on the ground, and only took his words as bragging.

Lu Qian appeared in the door wearing an ear protection fur hat, clasped his hands on his chest and said coldly, "Still waiting here?" I advise you to go back to your green ridge honestly, even if you freeze yourself into icicles, don't want to see Lai Duhu. ”

Li Siye laughed and counterattacked: "Do you think that even you, a little ghost, can block my way?"

"What do you think?" Lu Lu led a shy stomach and blocked the door: "I'm standing here today, I see who dares to put you in!"

"The surname is Li, don't think about being able to climb the thighs of Du Hu again, you will stay in that small place in the Green Ridge for the rest of your life!"

Li Siye suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lu Lushu, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the officials on duty in the Metropolitan Protectorate come to call me, and you can stop me?"

Lu Qian laughed and said, "It's just a few knife and pen officials!" It's just a foreign official, I, Lu Qian, really don't take them seriously, even if you want to ask them for help, you can't pass my level. ”

The official on duty stood a few steps away silently, heard Lu Qian's words clearly, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and then he squeezed out a smile and slowly stepped forward.

"There is an order to protect Li Siye and let Li Siye go in to see him." He raised his head expressionlessly, watching Li Siye speak, and the corner of his eye never glanced at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian was stunned, his body was still blocking the door, so stiff that he didn't know whether to retreat or not.

The official on duty scolded him neither softly nor hardly: "This is an order to come to the capital, Lu Lurate, I am a small out-of-the-box knife and pen official, soft-spoken, and it is useless to speak, if you don't believe it, go in and ask Duhu yourself, if you believe it, don't block the door."

Lu Qian stepped aside in embarrassment, and originally wanted to explain to the official on duty, but what he said was equivalent to spilling water...... Li Siye, a treacherous villain, deliberately led himself to say the wrong thing, which is really hateful.

The official solemnly arched his hand towards Li Siye: "Li Shou captures the envoy, please."

"I'm tired."

Li Siye returned the salute, took the initiative to step back half a position, and followed the official to the left side of the hall of the Imperial Palace. The little official was slightly stunned, and his heart was slightly comfortable, they were also seventh-grade officials, and the performance of the Green Ridge Guard was very humble, not like Lu Qian's child, who was only a pro-soldier brigade rate, and seemed even more arrogant than the general.

The official on duty and Li Siye came to the steps of the main hall, and just bypassed the screen, but suddenly stopped, glanced at Li Siye and said, "Let's wait here."

Li Siye didn't understand what he meant, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to wait patiently. The official smiled at Li Siye, looked up at the pillars on the top of the hall, but listened to the drip in the center of the hall, and tapped his fingers lightly on the back of his left hand, as if he was silently counting the time.

When Li Siye was about to lose patience, the official suddenly recovered from the state of closing his eyes and recuperating, and said casually, "Let's go."

They came to the cubicle of Laiyao's study, reached out and tapped twice on the door.

"Come in!"

The little official bowed down and walked into the door and said, "All the protections, the green ridge guard has captured Li Siye has been brought."

Lai Yao held back his anger and asked loudly: "It's just for you to call someone, why is it so difficult!"

The little official bowed his hands again and said lightly: "The guard brigade refused to let go, so it delayed time."

Li Siye suddenly realized, it turned out that the whole person still has such a hand, and the little official is also a master of this way, he understated two sentences and refused to say a word more, and this complaint is not blunt at all.

Lai Yao slapped the case heavily: "Which brigade is on duty today?"

The little official continued to stab the knife lightly: "It seems that Lu Qian is the brigade rate, and he doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."

When Xiao Ting heard this, he couldn't wait to run out now, and give his cousins who were not successful enough to do more than anything, you just offended Li Siye, why did you even offend the people around you? Don't you have a brain?

Lai Yao waved his hand angrily: "Okay, you go out, call Li Siye in."

Xiao Ting was extremely depressed in his heart, don't seem to think that Yao Duhu doesn't care about this now, but his old man will not forget it, leaving a bad impression on him, do you still want to be promoted in the future? It would be nice not to jerk you off!

Li Siye came in with the quilt in his arms, bowed down and said, "Humble Li Siye, see Laidu Protection."

Lai Yao was straightforward, and he didn't beat around the bush with him, and asked directly: "How many of this quilt do you have now?" Where did you get so much cotton cloth? Can this cotton be sewn into the sandwich of the garment and made into a winter coat?"

Li Siye was not in a hurry or impatient, and answered from the first question: "Qiyu Duhu, we made more than 2,000 sets of this quilt in a month. Cotton is planted in the spring of this year in the green ridge of more than 500 acres of wasteland, the autumn harvest of cotton, the humble post will be mobilized to the whole green ridge military households to process cotton, ordered the ladies to sew into quilts. The kind of winter coat you are talking about is called a padded jacket, and we have made more than a thousand pieces. ”

"Good!" Lai Yao waved his hand and slapped the table heavily, and said with a smile: "What is this really missing?" Li Siye, how did you come up with the idea of growing cotton? When you think of making quilts, can you not know the prophet?"

"It's not a lowly prophet, it's just that the green mountains are bitterly cold, and the soldiers are short of materials, so I mobilized everyone to plant cotton and make winter clothes, which can improve their lives to some extent."

Lai Yao didn't seem to understand the meaning of Li Siye's last sentence, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "You go back now, pull all the quilts and jackets that have been made, no, I will specially transfer a baggage regiment for you, and go back with you to pull it with a camel carriage."

"Obedience." Li Siye crossed his hands, but his body did not move.

"Okay, you can go down, and the baggage regiment will be transferred to you by General Gao Xianzhi."

Li Siye couldn't be calm for a moment, he didn't mention the money at all, when this quilt was given for free? Even if I support the four towns of Anxi and Datang, you can't let me fold all the capital into it.

Lai Yao saw that Li Siye could only respond, but he refused to leave, so he leaned out cross-legged and asked, "Do you have anything else important?" Or what's the problem?"

Regardless of whether the other party deliberately forgot it, or didn't know that there was such a thing as paying for the sale, Li Siye had to bring it up, otherwise he would lose a lot of money.

"It's not difficult, it's just that more than 500 people from my military household in the Green Ridge have smashed pots and sold iron, endured freezing and starvation, and took out several years of savings and old books to plant these 500 acres of cotton fields. I didn't know how to sleep and eat and didn't know how to work day and night to make quilts and cotton jackets, and many people fell ill because of this, but they couldn't even afford to sell medicinal materials. Please also take care of the body. ”

Xiao Ting's eyes widened in surprise, could he be going to talk to Du Hu......

Gao Xianzhi raised his eyebrows, put down the tea bowl and looked at Li Siye head-on with interest, if there was no accident, this would be the most daring guard he had ever seen.

"Don't worry about this." Lai Duhu waved his big hand and said proudly:

"After you go down, I will order the Green Ridge to guard and capture all the military households, work overtime to make cotton clothes and quilts, and wait for the cold and warmth of the Anxi soldiers this winter, I will come to Yao to be the master here, and give you the reward for each of you who guards the Green Ridge!"

Li Siye thought depressedly, I want more than just a reward.
