Li Siye thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't guess it, so he didn't bother thinking anymore, and turned back to Mei'er and instructed: "Get along with others well, don't always take advantage of others, you can also send something over."

"I'm sending something? What do we have?"

"Send pepper."

He Li Siye is also an invisible rich man, Qiuzi has two stones and eight buckets of pepper in his house, a box of Sassanid gold coins hidden in Chang'an's house, and a box of gold nuggets given by Mansur in the Green Ridge Guard.

He returned to his room, opened the bamboo basket, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it, and put it in front of the desk, ready to sort out his thoughts and sort out the things about preparing for the establishment of the post station.

He poured a little water into the inkstone, held the ink block and grinded it gently, and suddenly a white shadow flashed into the room, but it was Twelve Niang. She walked quickly to the desk, snatched the ink from his hand and said, "I'll sharpen the ink for you."

Li Siye shrugged his shoulders, Twelve Niang pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that his action was indescribably cute, he lowered his head and grabbed the ink block with his bare hands, and gently turned it left and right.

After grinding into ink, Twelve Niang stood with her hands folded and hung aside, Li Siye picked up the ink tube from the pen holder, dipped it in the ink and paused on the paper, feeling a little weak for a while.

He is going to write simplified Chinese, and he has no impression of traditional Chinese after nine years of education, once this is put into writing, doesn't it make Twelve Niang see a joke?

Li Siye didn't start writing for a long time, slightly glanced at the corner of her eyes to look at Twelve Niang, she stood quietly aside, as if waiting for her sweetheart to become a figure, and then open her mouth to appreciate and praise.

"Well, Twelve Niang, aren't you going to plant grapes with Mei'er?"

"The grapes have been planted, and we won't have to wait until the next year for them to grow seedlings."

"Then the grape trellis should be built early."

"It's not too late to build the shelf next year and the year after that, I'll wait for you here to write first."

There's no way, you can't go away.

He had no choice but to put down the pen, praying that the twelve mothers should be illiterate, and they have practiced swords since they were children, where is the time to read and write?

The first sentence should be written, about Anxi Qiuzi, the preparatory process for the construction of the two-line post station in Khotan, the word Guan has just fallen on the paper, Twelve Niang's eyes widened, and she couldn't be calm anymore, what kind of word is this, my other half? The font is also crooked, and I feel that the Mengtong who has been in school for a year is better than him, and it turns out that Li Lang is really illiterate.

She wanted to praise him against her will, but now she couldn't even say anything against her will, it was too ugly.

"Ahem."

"What's wrong?" Li Siye turned around and asked her.

"Li Lang, what are you going to write?"

"Off."

"That's not how the word Guan is written, there's a door missing outside,"

She reached out and took the pen from his hand, wrote a pass on the paper, the font was beautiful, and at the same time taught earnestly: "Li Lang, you will be a general in the future, how can you not write, you should study more when you are free."

Li Siye was somewhat ashamed to say this, although he did not go to famous schools such as 985 and 211, but at least he graduated from an ordinary university, and when he came to the Tang Dynasty more than 1,500 years ago, he was identified as illiterate.

"Twelve Niang, you're right, I should take the time to learn more, after all, live to be old, learn to be old, or you can write it for me."

"Yes," Twelve Niang nodded heavily, Li Siye gave up her position and stood up, she changed a piece of paper again, and knelt in front of the desk.

"Well, regarding the preparatory process for the construction of the two-line post stations in Qiuzi and Khotan, the first article is to post a list in the four towns of Anxi, announcing the crime of corruption of the former Chihe post chief and stealing customers......"

……

Three days later, the Anxi Prefecture posted notices in all cities, towns and post stations along the way, and the content of the notice was only to announce the punishment of a small post chief, who had served in Chihe Post for five years, and had collected a high amount of money from past merchants, and had amassed eight million dollars.

In the past, after the business travelers gathered in front of the city gate to watch, when they made a momentary conversation, if someone asked, they couldn't help but sigh a few times: "Hey, we are really better than being the post chief of the post station." People only need to sit on the ground and raise the price, and the money will roll into their pockets. This is just to catch one, the post station on the line of Anxi Middle Road, which post chief is not a rich flowing oil. ”

"No, the post station is also divided into locations, if it is not a dangerous place, if you want to be ruthless, people can travel overnight and go around to other places."

"That's right, if it's those desert Gobi post stations on the Khotanese Road, the life of the post chiefs is miserable, it's just incomparable."

Li Siye stood not far away wearing a hat, listening to the different words of these vendors, smiling and nodding gently.

Fifteen days later, the two towns of Qiuci and Yanqi sent more than 8,000 people, organized into the Zhongjun and Zuoyu Marquis Army, and under the leadership of Tian Renwan, the envoy of the four towns, set out from Qiuzi to Shule Town, and then transferred from Shule to the Green Ridge to complete the first stage of the march.

Li Siye led Tian Zhen Tengmu, Duan Xiushi and other cadres of his own soldiers, standing on the hill near the Tuoji Pass of the White Horse River, watching the army lead the horses to the green ridge.

Seeing this situation, Tian Zhen couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and muttered resentfully: "General Li, General Li Zhonglang, let's follow you, is this road getting narrower and narrower?" Will there be no way out in the end?"

Li Siye pretended not to know and asked, "How do you say this?"

"How? There are ten battalions of detainees under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of Qiuzidu, why are you the only one who stays? Others followed Tanaka Cheng on an expedition to Xiao Bolu, and when he came back after he was done, he was at least promoted to one level. What notices do we follow you, what post stations do we build, and what credit can we have? How can it compare to the merit earned by killing and beheading the enemy?"

Li Siye laughed loudly and said, "This is red-eyed? There is no big or small merit, only success and failure. Many people want to do big things vigorously, but they don't know that countless small things can gather sand into a tower, and gather armpits into a fur, and they can also achieve a meritorious deed. ”

Tian Zhen said loudly again: "It's easy to say that gathering sand into a tower, life is only a few decades, and the years have passed before the tower has passed, and doing small things will only be buried, only earth-shattering events can make people famous and leave their names in history." ”

"If you can't do small things, how can big things find you? Take your own time and reflect on it. ”

Li Siye whipped his horse, took the lead in rushing down the dirt slope, and shouted an order to the soldiers behind him: "You all disperse, distribute and paste the list along the post road to every post station, military town, large and small city along the way, and return to Qiuzi City to report to me after completion."

There were craftsmen who would be sent as supervisors in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and Li Siye asked craftsmen to draw two design drawings of the post station according to the different environments of the Middle Road and the South Road. The forest resources on the middle road are abundant, convenient for nearby felling, designed into the Central Plains hanging hilltop type house community, where the conditions are not available, the roof can be laid with thatch, but the solidity and pattern of the house must be strictly in accordance with the drawings.

Taking into account the lack of trees on the Gobi Desert in Khotan and the long hours of sunlight, the craftsmen adopted the design of flat-roofed houses in the Western Regions. The sandstone that can be found everywhere on the Gobi Desert can be used as chiseled stone roof beams, and the walls of sufficient thickness can be rammed with fine loess to isolate the temperature difference, and the windows are designed to be smaller, and the walls can be heightened to make small fortresses where conditions permit.

All the businessmen who came to sign the contract agreement with him must strictly follow the design drawings to carry out the construction, and he added the modern concept of contract to it, and every clause was carefully considered, and there was no loophole for some people with ulterior motives to exploit.

In order to ensure openness and transparency, Li Siye deliberately ordered someone to move a few cases to the courtyard of the Duhu Mansion, and commanded a few officials to work during the day, while he sat quietly on the sheep felt under the eaves, and Xuemeier also made a tea pot sencha to drink.

On the third day after the announcement was posted, no one came to the door, and he sat under the eaves and drank the day's tea.

Day 4, Day 5...... Until the seventh day, no one came.
