Li Siye was about to speak, but he heard Gao Xianzhi say from the side: "It's not in the way if you haven't led soldiers, no one is born to lead soldiers, you can figure out what you want to learn and sell by yourself." The bitter cold of the Green Ridge is unbearable, as long as he is strong and can support him for more than ten years. ”

Gao Xianzhi's words are true, but they are too real, what is said to be physically strong and able to support for more than ten years, this is to prepare for the family to die in the structure.

Although Li Siye does have such thoughts, and intends to let Yu Gou guard himself in the position of guarding the green ridge for the rest of his life, it is indeed a bit chilling to say it.

He also said to the Lai Yao fork: "Before coming to Anxi, didn't you bring soldiers with you?" I know that he is a human being, and he will definitely be able to do it. ”

"Okay," Lai Yao stretched out his hand and patted his knee and said, "Anyway, I'm about to step down and leave office, while my butt is still sitting in this position, I have the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires, just appoint a few more officials from our Anxi." lest I return to Chang'an in the future to live in leisure, and you will say behind my back that I am not. Hahaha! ”

Lai Yao smiled so heartily that Gao Xianzhi, who was originally in a gloomy mood, also laughed, and Li Siye was even more heartfelt. He could feel that this open-minded smile hid the helplessness of the impermanence of the world.

After Gao Xianzhi smiled, he raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, in fact, this time he came to Yao to resign, and the biggest frustration was him Gao Xianzhi. In the past few years, he has been promoted by Laiyao, became the guardian of Qiuci Town, and concurrently led the deputy governor of Qiuci.

Gai Jiayun has always been on bad terms with Anxi, how can Gao Xianzhi be appointed under him?

……

"Without further ado, I'll write a record of the court now, and then write an official letter issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate, you take this official letter and bring it directly to him, and by the way, the affairs of the Green Ridge Guard will also be handed over to him."

Lai Yao spread the paper on the desk, opened the inkstone, dipped the pen in ink, and chattered while writing: "This person, you have to be able to endure loneliness, when the luck is bad, hide and hibernate, shrink your head and be a man, in order to keep the sunrise of Yunkai." ”

Who exactly is this said to, the three people in this room know it.

"I think Li Siye has done a good job in this regard, when you were in Chang'an, you were a dignified prince who led thousands of cattle to prepare himself, and he had the foundation of a seven-rank official. But after coming to Anxi, Bendu was afraid that you had served the concubine Li Ying, and he was afraid of the power of Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou, so he didn't dare to appoint you, so he sent you to the Green Ridge to guard and arrest you. ”

"Actually, I really responded to the words of Heavenly Dao profit and loss Yiqian, time has passed, where is Concubine Wu Hui? Who is the crown prince? As long as you can survive the time, God will definitely give you justice. I'm right, heir. ”

Li Siye knew in his heart that this was Lai Yao's euphemistic apology to himself. Hearing these words, he also admired this old man more and more, a person in a high position took the initiative to find out his past mistakes, and he could put down his body and apologize, how many people could do it throughout the ages?

He crossed his hands heartily and said: "Justice is not only in heaven, justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

Lai Yao Wenyan laughed angrily: "That's right, justice is in the hearts of the people!" ”

……

Walking out of the main hall of the Duhu Mansion, Li Siye felt that he had been taught a lesson, Laiyao's demeanor and style, as well as Gao Xianzhi's thinking and wisdom, this was something he had to learn.

Now that he has an official letter stamped with the seal of the Anxi Protectorate, he is also relieved that he has finally put the Green Ridge in the hands of his own people, and the family foundation and wealth he built in the Green Ridge can finally be continued.

He has observed this person for a long time, and he is indeed a qualified successor, and he can keep it, which is enough. Li Siye doesn't want him to shine either, otherwise he won't be able to restrain him, ambition is usually proportional to ability.

With the official letter in his arms, he happily went to the Cangcao official office, ready to tell him the good news.

As a subordinate organization of the Prefecture, the offices of Zhucao are located around the central axis of the Prefecture. Cangcao occupies a larger area, and the thousands of acres of open space behind the main hall of the Duhu Mansion are lined with warehouses one after another, all of which are grain, armor, weapons, cloth, and money transferred from the Central Plains to Anxi.

The reason why the four towns of Anxi were able to shock the Western Regions was inseparable from the continuous blood transfusion of the rich Central Plains from the Silk Road. Although at the beginning of the establishment of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, it began to carry out tuntian in the Western Regions, and collected commercial taxes at checkpoints and in various towns to supplement military expenses. But the barren Anthy still couldn't support more troops, and 24,000 men was probably the limit.

Li Siye thought to himself, in fact, Anxi can still be self-sufficient and have the ability to expand the army, for example, the collection of commercial taxes is still not standardized, if it is standardized and centralized rectification, more money will be collected. To increase the area of cultivated land, wheat and barley with higher yield per mu can be cultivated alternately. Grapes can be expanded and promoted in Turpan, of course, this place is now called Gaochang, winemaking can be received from the hands of the Duhufu, sold to the Central Plains in exchange for a large amount of military and political spending, cotton textiles should be made as soon as possible......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, now he is just a small regimental captain, and he dares to manipulate the heart of the envoy, so that people know that they will not laugh off their big teeth.

He walked out of the Duhu Mansion first, and asked Fuji Mu and Song Heng, who were waiting outside the door, to wait for him at the pavilion, and then walked directly to the location of the Cangcao Mansion.

There were soldiers blocking the door, and he immediately gave his name. After a short time, Wu Sangao walked out with a bloated belly, I really can't imagine that this body type is actually a representative of handsome guys in Datang.

He smiled and arched his hand towards Li Siye and said, "Li Lang, why did you suddenly come to Anxi, are you going to be promoted?" ”

"I really let you guess it right, I can be regarded as having survived in that bitter place in the Green Ridge, I just accepted the official letter from the capital protection, and I will go to the city to serve as the captain of the regiment in a few days."

After listening to his words, Wu Sangao immediately showed a look of admiration: "The heir is really very human, I have served in Anxi for more than ten years, and it is rare for people to be promoted in the position of guarding the city, you are the first." ”

"Where, I'm just lucky. It's better for you Wu to join the army, and you are in charge of the treasury with the most oil and water in Anxi, not to mention me, a school captain, even if you give it to a lieutenant general, you won't change it. ”

As soon as he heard him say this, Wu Sangao began to frown: "Come to Yaodu to protect us, we people will inevitably suffer from gains and losses." The capital is a son of heaven and a courtier. Gai Jiayun's commander-in-chief, will he replace us Anxi officials with people from his Beiting Mansion? ”

Although Li Siye is not worried, he is a small lieutenant, and the Anxi Duhu will not affect him if he changes a few terms. But in the face of the complaints of colleagues, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will die. The smaller the official, the more sorrowful he is, and if the official becomes bigger, he will always have fear in his heart.

They entered Cangcao's duty room together and pulled some unnutritious nonsense with each other. When Wu Sangao took out the wine glass, Li Siye shook his head solemnly: "Don't drink, I'm here today to do business." ”

Wu Sangao was surprised and said, "Something serious? ”

Li Siye took out the official letter from his arms and put it on the desk in front of him: "This is the official document of the appointment just written by Anxi Duhu Laiyao, the original household Cao is the master of the book, and his performance is commendable. ”

Wu Sangao stretched out his hand and patted the official letter and smiled: "Good for you Li Siye!" I said, how can you give me a good hand who makes an account book, it turns out that you sent him to me to be gilded. In order to guard the cold and remote place in the Green Ridge, you really have enough money. ”

Li Siye also followed this official letter, and even half of the expression on his face was not respected, and said in a businesslike tone: "In this case, please also ask Wu Senjun to send someone to invite Yu Shou to arrest the envoy over." ”
