Li Siye sat on the stage with his hands on his chest and talked eloquently: "Don't underestimate the benefits of these two percent, this is called specialization in the art industry, and small profits are quick turnover." After Michagan, you will be your counterpart businessman, saving you the time to sell in Chang'an, and you are not afraid of backlog of goods in some seasons. Not only do you ensure a bumper harvest through drought and flood, but the time you save allows you to make an extra trip between Chang'an and Green Ridge, which is a win-win situation for them and you. ”

Li Siye talked endlessly, sometimes getting up from the ground and pacing back and forth in the center of the hall, and the two kneeling on the ground were stunned for a moment.

"Do as the general commands." The two of them bowed in unison.

"Don't just do what you are told, you don't know the benefits until you taste the sweetness of it."

The steward of Jiayancong seemed to remember something, patted his knees and sighed: "What the general said is yes, doing business in Chang'an is more difficult than a tiring journey. We are different from the Zhaowu Sogdians, there are Zoroastery and chambers of commerce in Chang'an, and we can dance with long sleeves and can play anywhere. ”

"When the goods were transported to Chang'an last year, they were like headless flies, and they were seized by the government on the grounds of occupying the road by setting up a stall in the West Market. I wanted to find a middleman to package all the goods out, but I met a scammer, and we reported to the official to find the goods back. However, it has been delayed past late autumn, and most of the goods can only be sold at low prices. When he came back to the desert, he encountered a snowstorm and froze two horses to death. In this way, the money earned is better than being slaughtered by the merchants in the Green Ridge. ”

"Now that the general's west market has placed a merchant, we can only transport goods back and forth, which is beneficial and harmless."

"That's right!" Li Siye said with a smile: "I also want to tell you a good news, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate will jointly arrest the sand thieves infested on the ancient silk road with the Hexi Shazhou, and also expand the post station to facilitate business travel, your future road will be even better, and it is not impossible to run twice a year or three times." ”

The two of them were also overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed to Li Siye and said, "If this is the case, we will borrow the general's auspicious words to make a few more trips on the Silk Ancient Road." ”

Li Siye explained everything and clasped his fists at the two: "Since this is the case, I will not keep you, and take the caravan into Chang'an as soon as possible." After the joint is successful this time, you can leave a token between you and Michagan, so that no matter who leads the team next time, you can hand over the goods step by step. ”

"The general's heart is as careful as a hair, which makes me and other good students admire."

After bowing to Li Siye, the two slowly withdrew from the hall.

Li Siye sat back on the stage, pondered for a long time, and finally closed a matter in his heart. Rather than fighting desperately, he prefers turtle shrinkage and farming, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity for a long time, so he can't plant a few acres of barley along the White Horse River, so what sense of accomplishment is there?

The opportunity is delayed, and the years are only seized.

……

Summer soon came to an end, the vegetation on the banks of the White Horse River gradually flourished, Li Siye's life in the jumping camp was regular and boring, only the confrontation and Dabi in the barracks could slightly attract his attention, and the soldiers who won in the monthly Dabi could be rewarded by Li Siye personally, and the prize for the first place was a re-melted Sassanid gold coin, which was called a gold medal.

He was engaged in sports in his previous life, and he has a very paranoid love for competition, of course, it is not enough to have competition. After the barracks were already familiar with this kind of rule, Li Siye immediately implemented the last elimination system, and the team that won the last place more than five times in a row, whether it was the team leader, or the brigade rate, or the captain will be dismissed, as for who will take over, Li Siye's personal army team has Tian Zhen, Duan Xiushi, Fuji Mu, Yan Xiaosi and others, they are all looking forward to it!

On the afternoon of the day in the camp, the red sun had just penetrated into the clouds, and the heat had receded slightly. In the ring in the middle of the school field, a panting soldier fell to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust. His right hand was still tightly gripping the hilt, his left hand was covering his face, and he bent his legs and jumped on the ground, and the carp bounced off the ground and continued to swing the wooden knife at his opponent.

"Holy shit, the gold medal is mine!"

Li Siye sat on the opposite stage, squinting his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, watching these ring sparrings all day long, he had lost the interest he had just started.

On the hilly slope on the opposite side of the White Horse River, a column of men and horses rushed out, led by a general wearing a dark crimson shirt lacking his hips, and under him was a red Turkic horse, the horse's coat color was more vivid than jujube red, and the horse's hooves were raised very high when running, giving people the feeling of vacating the air.

The generals and their entourage were all wearing red cloaks behind them, and their fresh clothes and angry horses were particularly conspicuous.

They slowed down as they approached the wooden bridge over the White Horse River, and the horse's hooves passed over the bridge, and the leader grabbed the reins and stopped at the end of the bridge, and the red horse neighed, and the two front hooves rose into the air.

The general was none other than Gao Xianzhi, the deputy town envoy who was transferred back from Khotan by Fu Meng Lingcha on the order of Tian Renwan, he put his hand on the pergola and looked ahead, and asked the entourage behind him with his eyebrows: "Who is the detainer of this Qiuzi Jumping Camp now?" ”

"The envoy of Qiyu Town, is a Zhonglang general named Li Siye, this person followed Gai Zhongcheng and Fu Mengdu to protect the expedition to the cavalry, once recommended his bravery, and led fifty people to win the city of Talas."

Gao Xianzhi was full of interest and said with a smile: "I know this person, he seems to have developed limbs, but he is not a reckless man, and he has a lot of tricks. Let's go to his camp and bother for a while. ”

"Drive!"

As he spoke, he whipped the horse's buttocks, and led a group of followers towards the jumping camp, slowing down more than seventy feet from the camp, and staggering on his horse to the camp gate.

The two archers on the sentry tower and the captain of the army spotted the high-ranking officer of the Tang Army in fresh clothes and angry horses, the other party was wearing a dark crimson four-grade missing crotch robe, if it was the usual practice, they should have ordered the camp gate to be opened, and then ran to inform the general.

However, now that the jumping battalion has changed generals, there is naturally a new military order, and the commander does not dare to disobey. But in the face of a four-grade general, he didn't dare to shout at ordinary caravans.

The captain saluted with his hands crossed on the tower and shouted, "General, please stay!" Please leave your name first, and I'll wait for someone to come in and report it! ”

One of Gao Xianzhi's entourages approached the horse, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the sentry tower and shouted: "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look!" When my general was appointed as the envoy of Qiuzi Town, you were still spinning on your grandmother's legs! ”

The shooters did not dare to respond in the face of the scolding of the general's entourage, but the retinue got too close, touched another of the new camp rules, and shot them on the spot within thirty paces of the sentry tower. The two marksmen's faces changed, and they raised their crossbows and aimed them at the attendant.

"Hurry back! Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”

Gao Xianzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered his entourage: "Return immediately!" ”

The entourage's face turned red, perhaps because he was angry, but he didn't dare to disobey Gao Xianzhi's military order, and looked up at the archer at the top of the tower before turning around and coming back.

Gao Xianzhi raised his head and arched his hand, and said with a generous and detached smile on his face: "A certain Gao Xianzhi, now he will go to Yanqi Town to take over as the town envoy, I have an old relationship with your General Li, so I specially came to visit, please report on my behalf." ”

Wu Chang immediately bowed down and replied, "General, wait a moment." ”

He immediately shouted to the soldiers on duty at the bottom of the sentry tower: "Go and inform the general, Yanqi Town has sent Gao Xianzhi to visit!" ”

Li Siye was sitting on the stage not far from the ring, squinting and napping, only to see a soldier running over, supporting himself on the ground with one hand and kneeling on one knee to report: "General, Yanqi Town has made Gao Xianzhi visit!" ”

The news completely dispelled his drowsiness, opened his eyes and pupils were clear, stood up from the viewing platform and ordered: "Continue the competition, I will go to greet the distinguished guests." ”

He walked quickly towards the camp gate, ordered the soldiers on duty to lift away the horses, opened the camp gate, and saw Gao Xianzhi and his party opposite.
