Li Siye looked at the carving knife and chisel in his hand, the knife edge was like a concave crescent, and the blade was very thin. Basically, every Tang army has a sharp knife on his waist, although it is not as convenient as this crescent carving knife, but it is enough to deal with wood.

These big men have a lot of spare time, as long as they don't fight and don't farm, most of them drink flowers and wine to cause trouble everywhere, and they have enough time to fight with wood. With this in mind, he asked the peddler, "Do you want to do a big business here?" ”

The hawker showed a hesitant look, the other party was an official, how could he, a hawker, dare to do business with an official, and if he was not careful, he would have to go to prison.

"How dare you, general, the villain is just making ends meet, and big business doesn't have that life."

"Okay, I'll give you an errand to make ends meet, how about it?"

The hawker knew that this hard-pressed business might not be able to be pushed off, so he had to smile and admit: "The official gave me an errand, and the villain was grateful, but he was sent." ”

"Okay, put the stall away and follow me to the house."

The peddler rolled up the sheep felt, packed the tools and wooden bowls on his back, and followed behind Li Siye's personal army, but he was at a loss. It is said that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and this official has five or six retinues behind him, presumably the official is not small, we are a good family, and we must not go to the mansion of a large family to be a slave!

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, drooping his head like a wilted eggplant, and when he followed the team to the mansion of this big official, he saw the six big characters written on the forehead of the middle door "Shule Town Guarding the Embassy", and suddenly gasped, and became more and more unwilling to take a step forward.

Yan Xiaosi's face was cold, like a vicious warrior figurine, and he stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture and pointed to the side door: "Please!" ”

The peddler took two steps in fear, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Jun, Master Official, you have to tell me what kind of errand it is, so I dare to go in!" Otherwise, I will not enter! ”

Li Siye just stepped into the threshold with his front foot, turned around and was stunned for a moment, before he smiled dumbly, it turned out that the other party had misunderstood, blaming him for not making his words clear in advance. He walked over and waved Yan Xiaosi away, and said to the vendor: "I called you here so that you can teach the craft of carving wooden bowls to the soldiers of the sixth battalion of the Shule Army, the two guards, the seven tun forts, and the nine beacons. ”

The peddler was a businessman after all, and the next words blurted out: "I taught them, what will I eat in the future?" ”

He knew that he had lost his words, and quickly covered his mouth.

Li Siye laughed when he heard this, pointed to the hawker and said: "They are soldiers, and they will not change careers because of such a bowl of yours, besides, I have 6,000 soldiers in Shule Town, and you are afraid that you will not be able to make these 6,000 bowls in your life, if you teach them all, I will give you 20 yuan." ”

Yan Xiaosi and these pro-soldiers all let out a contemptuous laugh at the peddler, as if they had heard a joke that was even more ridiculous than the unfounded worries.

The peddler was stunned and thought about it, as if he was considering the gains and losses of this matter, the craft of carving bowls does not seem to be a unique job, teaching others will not necessarily starve to death, but if he offends the Shule town guard, then can he still live in this place?

He bowed to Li Siye and said: "General Li is sent, why should the villain enter the mansion and bother, what do you want me to do, the general just orders." The villain should try his best. ”

Li Siye brushed his beard and said: "Okay, since you don't want to enter the mansion, Yan Xiaosi, take him to live in Shule City Pavilion for the time being, and when I pass on the military order on the next day, you will teach it in the army." ”

The peddler was finally relieved, and said heartily, "Oh! ”

Li Siye didn't care about him, turned around and returned to the mansion, because he belonged to another kind of incomprehensible writing, so he had to call Feng Changqing over and ask him to issue a letter to the whole army, ordering everyone, including Fanying, to follow the invited head of the carved bowl to learn the technique, and get rid of the unhygienic habit of using the hood as tableware as soon as possible.

After Feng Changqing finished writing, he re-read the content, checked that there were no typos and evasive words in it, and then transcribed it again, and the work was as neat as a printed version.

Li Siye held it and nodded while looking at it, the Tang people from the Li family down all love Wang Xi's travel book, Feng Changqing's proclamation is quite that flavor, and the writing is neat and the sentences are rigorous, he is really a talent.

Feng Changqing stood on the ground with his hands in his hands, and said to Li Siye: "Changqing, I specially ask the general to transfer the Jili drum car to me, I want to fill in the corners of that map." ”

Li Siye can understand that Feng Changqing treats the map as a work, and naturally demands perfection, and the incomplete products are unacceptable to him.

He pinched his chin and pondered, "Chang Qing, don't make up the corners of this map yet." I will send you twenty people from Yan Xiaosi, and you will take them to survey all the pastures within the scope of Shule Town, nail down wooden stakes in units of ten miles, summarize the area and distribution of pastures under the jurisdiction of my Shule Town, and also circle the outline on the map you draw, or draw them separately in the way of copying. ”

Feng Changqing regarded this new goal as a challenge, and at the same time did not forget his old goal, he deliberately emphasized this point in his reply: "Please rest assured General Li that Changqing can draw two maps at one time, and call the old map copied as the Shule Town Zoning and Defense Map, and the new map as the Shule Town Grassland Distribution Map." ”

"Good, good," Li Siye praised again and again, this idea is very close to the rigorous scientific thinking of modern people, Feng Changqing may be addicted to drawing maps, but it is a good thing for Li Siye, which will help him use practical methodology to gradually change the current situation of Shule's predicament. "I'm glad you have this perseverance."

"Since the general has agreed, his subordinates will leave for the road tomorrow."

"Yes, let's go on the road."

After Feng Changqing bowed his hands and slowly withdrew from the main hall, Li Siye was infected by the enthusiasm he had just overflowed, and stood on the steps of the main hall with his head held high, as if there were infinite possibilities ahead for me to make a grand display.

There were more idle people in the courtyard of the house, and they began to clean up under the command of Wu Niangzi and Chen Niangzi, every corner of the courtyard wall had to be repaired, and this mansion also had to exude a new atmosphere.

He said to himself, "Didn't you clean it when you just moved in?" Why do you have to clean it up again? ”

He doesn't care about any corner of the house, and all he thinks about is Shule Town, or even the future of Moxi.

……

Zhao Zhengyi walked Shule City again, but unfortunately the city area was too small and there was not much choice. If he were in Chang'an, he would have spent a few months choosing a site, but there were so few options to choose from in this Guancheng town, it was simply an either/or.

Fortunately, the Western Regions do not pay attention to Kanyu, and the two excellent places for feng shui are still empty, serving as a free-range pen for shepherds. One of them was close to the bazaar, and he obeyed Li Siye's instructions, so he had to choose the other one, and took a big stride to make a preliminary measurement.

"How much should be circled? Ten acres, or fifteen acres, is fifteen acres too greedy? Whatever, measure one fifteen acres first, and then ten acres, and see which one General Li can accept. ”

After he finished measuring, he went to the mansion of the envoy of Li Zhen in a hurry, and the porter servant recognized this Taoist priest and knew that he was now General Li's doorman, so he let him in.

General Li was in the palace to meet the master of the Shule Town Public Mansion, who was responsible for repairing the city wall, so he had to wait by the stone lamp outside the pavilion.

Li Siye sat cross-legged in front of the desk, raised his head and asked the craftsman: "How many craftsmen can preside over the project in Shule City?" ”

Lord Bo stood on the ground and crossed his hands: "If you return to the general's words, there are actually two, but it can also be counted as four." ”

What do you mean by that? What two, four? ”

The master of the craftsman hurriedly added: "There are only two people who can plan the city building plan and build the city tower on the top of the mountain, and estimate the pillars on the pedestal, but if they only repair the city wall and build the mound beacon, there are still two people available, and the rest of the people are apprentices and craftsmen." ”

Li Siye waved his hand and said, "It's not a complicated project, it's just to build four veterinary stations in the four cities in the core of Shule Town, including stables that can accommodate dozens of horses, a blacksmith shop, a room that can treat horses, and a residence for three people. ”

After hearing this, the master couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, what kind of fucking project is this? Is it also worth so much to mobilize the public?
