When Zhao Congfang and Liu Long heard such astonishing words, Qi Qi gasped and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Listen to the two of you in detail, Tanaka Cheng's plan for the expedition to Xiao Bolu is to mobilize the people, and almost all the soldiers under the command of the Anxi Protectorate, if it can be successful, this is a great feat, compared to the expedition of the Tuqi Shi Hei surname. All the camps outside Qiuzi City were dispatched, why did they leave him out? What does it mean to bypass him and give us military orders? ”

Zhao Congfang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What do you mean......?" ”

"That's right. He must have offended Tanaka Cheng or Fumeng Duhu, so he will be shelved and discarded. Although he still has the loose official of Zhonglang General now, he will be deprived of his official position, and he will no longer have any authority in the future. ”

Zhao Congfang asked depressedly, "Is what you said true?" ”

How is this true? I'm just speculating, but you can go on and see, when we return from our expedition to Xiao Bolu, General Li is afraid that there will be no more people in the Anxi Protectorate. ”

Liu Long, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "Since you guessed that he had lost power, why did he bend his mind just now?" ”

"Nonsense, what if it's not?" Luan Qiu crooked his mouth and smiled: "How can my generation take such a risk, if he loses power in the future, what good is it for me to fall into the well?" If he is exalted in the future, does not my sin and death mean that I will destroy my future? All thoughts should be hidden in the stomach for a while, and it is not beautiful to show your head in a hurry. There is still a long way to go, anyway, you are optimistic. ”

Li Siye naturally didn't know the thoughts of his three subordinates, and after he fed the horses, he left the jumping camp again, accompanied by Fuji Mu and Yan Xiaosi to Qiuzi.

There was no special movement in Qiuzi City, and the streets and alleys were talking about the expedition to Xiao Bolu, and he was still itching in his heart, fighting a war was far more enjoyable than building a post station. Since they refused to use him on this expedition, then the nail Zonglu he arranged in the Lianyun Castle in Bolechuan did not have to be exposed, and he would wait until the future to make plans.

He entered the Metropolitan Mansion and came to the gate of the hall. Bai Xiaode was on duty outside the door, and when he saw Li Siye coming, he took the initiative to step forward and said: "General Li, Du Hu is discussing the expedition, you sit quietly in the west room and wait, and when he is free, I will call you again." ”

"Okay," he understands very well, only let himself wait for Shangguan, how can he let Shangguan wait for him.

Li Siye followed Bai Xiaode into the room, and there was a boiling tea pot on the desk, and the two chatted casually and ate two bowls. When the discussion was over, naturally some soldiers ran out to report.

"General Li, the Metropolitan Protector Affair has ended, please come with me."

……

He pushed open the partition door and entered Fumeng Lingcha's study, where the other party was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk with his brows rubbed, with a few bloodshots in his eyes, and it seemed that he had been working hard recently.

"Humble Li Siye, see Fumeng Duhu."

"It's the inheritance," Fu Meng Lingcha yawned, stretched out his hands to support his waist, and hurriedly asked him the question he was most concerned about: "How?" You have checked both post stations, can you realize the method of unblocking the post road without spending a penny? ”

Li Siye sold a pass and said: "Before answering the question, please call Zhang Yuanli, the general of the army, to join the army." ”

Fumeng Lingcha grinned and asked rhetorically, "What do you want to talk about is the head of the Chihe Post who slaughtered the past traders at a high price and embezzled money?" Zhang Yuanli has already reported to me that he has been in office at Chiheyi for ten years and has confiscated more than 6 million yuan, equivalent to 6,000 taels of silver and 600 taels of gold. The soldier Cao Xu who bribed him also confiscated 300,000 yuan, and he has been dismissed from his post and sentenced. Do you want me to raid all the post stations in Anxi? So that there is money? After all, this kind of greedy people are a minority, and they can't kill chickens and take eggs, and kill all the moraine chiefs with a stick? ”

Li Siye thought to himself, how could I come up with such a brain-dead method? You also think too low of me.

"Definitely." He sat down with his hands crossed and said: "The method I said is to contact merchants from all over Anxi, contract all the post stations to be built into the hands of large households, and they will fund the construction, we provide quality standards and post station drawings, and check the quality of the project after completion, and assign the right to operate the post station to the construction merchants for a period of three years, and after three years, the capital will take back the post station and still return it to the imperial court."

"Good way!"

A slightly old voice came from outside the door, and then the door was opened, and Tian Renwan took off his ** boots outside the door and walked in with the door frame.

Li Siye hurriedly stood up, Fu Meng Lingcha also got up slightly, and the two bowed towards Tian Renwan and crossed their hands: "Subordinates, the last general will see Tanaka Cheng." ”

Tian Renwan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I was going to talk to you about the supply of the Xiaobolu grain and grass transfer station for the expedition, and I just arrived at the door and heard the two of you talking about the construction of this rice-free cooking station, General Li's method is indeed ingenious and worth trying." ”

Just now, I eavesdropped at the door, Li Siye sweated in his heart, fortunately he didn't say anything bad about Tian Renwan, otherwise he would have been arrested.

He hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Zhongcheng has won the award, it's just a little idea, and you need to plan a lot if you want to operate." ”

Tian Renwan nodded, stretched out his hand to greet the two and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Fumeng Lingcha hurriedly gave up his main position, Renwan shirked again and again, but he had to sit reluctantly, Fumeng Lingcha and Li Siye knelt on the ground in turn.

Fu Meng said with a forked hand: "Qi Tanaka Cheng, regarding the location of the grain and grass transfer station, it should be selected in Yandu Prefecture or Quancheng Prefecture to facilitate transportation back and forth......

"No," Tian Renwan raised his palm to stop, "Let's talk about the construction of a post station in Liangdao first, and then talk about the expedition grain and grass later." ”

Li Siye's heart moved slightly, thinking that Tanaka Cheng's emotional intelligence is quite high, and it is not easy for the superior to be able to put others before himself.

"Okay," Fu Meng Lingcha was overjoyed, Tanaka Cheng was able to put this matter in front, which also means that he finally supported the construction of the post station, the elimination of sand bandits, and the maintenance of trade routes.

He looked at Li Siye and said, "You tell Zhongcheng about your general thoughts." ”

Li Siye was just about to speak, Tian Renwan waved his hand and said: "I have heard just now, hand over the post station to the big merchants in Anxi and other places to build, and use the three-year operation right to let the merchants gain benefits." It's just that there are some suspicions, although the business travelers know very well about the post station in Anxi, but they don't know its income, compared to the daily progress of the trade route, the construction of the post station seems to have its risks, are they willing to do business with the capital protection house? ”

Li Siye crossed his hand and said, "I just raided a post chief who embezzled and stealed customers in Chihe Station, and I suggest that this person's head be used to dispel the doubts of the merchants. ”

Tian Renwan's spirit was shocked and asked, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

"It is proposed that the matter be enlarged, that the culprit be beheaded, that the property be confiscated, and that the matter be posted in the form of a notice in every town in the four towns of Anxi, so that every merchant traveler passing through the town can see it, and the amount of property confiscated may be appropriately exaggerated. After some time, the notice of the contracted post station will be released. ”

Tian Renwan and Fu Meng Lingcha nodded, and Fu Meng asked him again: "The middle road in the west is relatively rich, and it may be able to attract merchants to contract construction." But Khotan Road is different, the edge of the desert is barren and bitter cold, except for the past business travel, there are no people within a hundred miles, there is a serious shortage of food, and it is estimated that no one is willing to accept this stall. ”

"Different regions, different schemes, in the Khotanese road post station I propose to increase the operating period of the merchants to ten years, and at the same time build a warehouse in the post station, the built warehouse will become a permanent warehouse for the shop. This should entice merchants to get involved. Of course, you don't stick to the existing conditions, and you can discuss with the merchants slowly. ”

"Not bad!" Tian Renwan stroked his palm and praised: "This plan is feasible, take it from the people, and use it for the people." Just post the notice according to your method, face the whole moraine, and attract merchants to participate in the matter. ”
