"What can I do? The military households in the Green Ridge have just lived a prosperous life, and suddenly cut off two sources of livelihood, how can they accept it? No, no! As soon as I took office, they would immediately scold me, but I still quit and stayed here to take care of the warehouse. ”

Li Siye smiled and tugged at his sleeve, and said softly: "You listen to me first, how can I let you solve this kind of problem alone." You sell cotton and quilts directly in bulk to Hu merchants in Shule, Yanqi, Khotan and other places. For the rest of the part, you can discuss it with the lord of the Hidden Country, Jiayancong, and the two families will unite to organize a caravan to send the output of the Hidden Hidden Department and the Guarding City to Dunhuang, Lanzhou, and even the east, west, south and north cities of Luoyang, Chang'an, and sell them, and the profits will be even greater. ”

"In this way, the people of the Hidden Awareness Department are responsible for transportation and contact, and the Green Ridge Guard is responsible for ensuring the safety of the caravan back and forth, and it doesn't take much more than a year, as long as you run to Chang'an, it is enough to protect the economic source of the Green Ridge Guard. The first year is considered an experiment, it doesn't matter if you don't make any money, don't we still have a wine shop and a cloth shop? As long as the guards are still around, our money will circulate in a small area. Besides, we still have millions of copper coins in the treasury of the city guard, enough for you to wait until the money returns. ”

Li Siye's words could be understood by Yu Gou, he nodded convincingly, and his heart also settled down.

"There is another matter, I planted a nail inside Lianyun Castle, named Zong Lu, a Tibetan general, this person will be of great use to us in the future. According to my agreement with him, the joint is to be made every 156 days, and the joint is made at the source of the Siye Peak in the Karakoram Mountains......"

"Wait," Yu Gou stretched out his hand to stop him, "What peak are you talking about?" ”

"Siye Peak, named after me, is also the first peak of the Karakoram Mountains where the green mountains meet, and there is a cave there. The date of the first joint is the day of Ji Yuemang's planting, and there are still thirteen days left from today, and the first thing you do when you go back is to do this. Ha, what do you see me doing? That, in fact, you can also name it, there are hundreds or thousands of peaks in the entire mountain range, and you can name any one as Yu Gou Peak. ”

Yu Gou waved his hand awkwardly: "I'm not entangled in this, I just want to ask, the nail you planted, he is a Tibetan general, and you haven't even had a formal joint?" You're going to let me take over? What if he becomes suspicious when he meets and kills me with a knife? ”

"It's that I'm not thinking it through. A few days ago, I was busy with promotions. Li Siye touched his nose and said, "That's it, before I go to change the city, I will accompany you to the Green Ridge, and by the way, I will hand over the position, and I will also go to give you a front station." ”

Kang Junu jumped down from the wooden platform in the center, whirled and flew in the aisle of the wine shop, and set off a gust of incense wind passing by Li Siye's side.

He turned around and smiled, leaned over and continued: "I will be handed over to you when I am caught by the Green Ridge, you must keep this stall for me, if you can continue to accumulate wealth, he will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”

Li Siye said this generous reward, of course Yu Gou understands what it is, he is very satisfied now, and he does not dare to have more extravagance.

He was originally a small official in the Green Ridge Guard, if he hadn't met Li Siye, if the Green Ridge Guard had not changed later. His fate is also the same as that of most border officials, following the guards to help him take care of the warehouse accounts, and then try to find a Han woman to marry, if he can't find it, then he is not demanding, marry a local woman from the green ridge or a woman from the hidden country. Anyway, we don't have a famous surname, and we don't care about any Han blood, even the saint connections of the Li family are mixed with Hu blood.

But now there is another possibility in his life, Li Siye has opened a new window for him, let him taste the sweetness of managing wealth, he no longer has to be a boring and conformist official, but the manager of a small city. As a scholar, he is not very keen on money, he enjoys the process of constantly creating and storing wealth, managing and expanding the castle, which is like a game full of infinite fun.

Thinking of this, Yu Gou's heart gradually surged, and he couldn't wait to fly to the green ridge to guard and catch him now. The first half of his life was simply in vain, and the wonderful life is only beginning now, and Li Siye gave him all this, although he is not as good as his parents, but he has surpassed his teacher.

With the strength of the current drunken but not drunk, Yu Gou suddenly got up, raised his hands and eyebrows, knelt on the ground on his knees, bowed to the ground, and bowed again.

Li Siye hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "What is this, there are too many people here." ”

There were indeed a few Hu people pointing in front of the table around him, but Yu Gou was drinking and didn't care about these at all, if he didn't have this drunkenness, he wouldn't be able to wipe this face.

"No, Aaron." Yu Gou lay back on the table, his hands were still eyebrows and said: "What about good rewards, you have the grace of helping and enlightening me, from today on, I am your guest and your miser in the Green Mountains." ”

Li Siye couldn't bear to look at it directly, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Guests are guests, how can you still be a miser, this is not a good word." ”

Yu Gou was drunk, shook his shoulders and said, "It's not called Scrooge, is it called a watchdog?" ”

Li Siye stroked his back with his hand: "It's okay if you have this heart, you don't have to be so straightforward, it seems that you are really drunk." ”

Wu Sangao walked over with a wine bowl again, passing by the side of the Kang Guo dancer, and danced with her with a fat belly, causing several Hu people in front of the surrounding table to whistle.

Li Siye turned around and applauded, Wu Sangao sat down at a table with them again, and the three of them poured the last drop of wine in the wine jar, which was the end of the fun.

Yu Gou's mood fluctuates like a river today, so he is also the most drunk and needs someone to support him. Li Siye simply spent money to hire a handyman in the wine shop, and ordered him to help Yu Gou and send him back to his residence.

……

On the morning of the third day, Li Siye decided to set off, first returning to the Green Ridge with Yu Gou to guard and capture, and after explaining and solving the remaining problems in the Green Ridge, he would go to the Eighth Regiment of the City to serve as a captain.

Yu Gou had already stood outside the door of the pavilion and waited, and only when Li Siye and his party led the horse out did he come forward to salute.

Li Siye looked down and saw that the expression on his face was as usual, similar to the humble judgment when he was drunk the day before. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yu Gou, the day before yesterday in the wine shop, do you still remember the words I said to you and the things that happened?" ”

Yu Gou put his hand on his forehead and said ignorantly: "I still remember some things in a trance, that is, the words you said to me at the beginning, but what happened later, I don't remember." ”

"Okay, you, the new guard, should open the way first, and we'll follow it."

"Where, Ah Lang, you are the most honorable person we have here, please go first."

"Alang?"

Yu Gou's face was a little embarrassed, and then he said calmly: "Although it is said after being drunk, you need to keep your promises as a person, how can you deny it by being drunk." ”

Li Siye was much more relieved now, it turned out that his decision was not a whim.
