The voices of local customers circled back and forth in the store, and soon someone picked up the conversation, but it was a few customers who came in later, one of them snuggled up to a collared Hu robe, holding a hot oil tea and said: "Now it's back again, why did Li Zhenenvoy demarcate the pasture?" Whether it is herding sheep or yaks, you must go to the Gloling Mountains hundreds of miles this spring, and then you can turn to the mountainside in the summer. Isn't it because of what happened last winter? ”

"In winter, it's because the forage is burned, and it has nothing to do with dividing the pasture."

"You know you don't understand anything! Even if there is no fire, is Shule Town not enough grassland every few years? Did the Governor's Mansion force everyone to kill sheep in winter? The most fundamental reason is that the pastures are exhausted, and the herders graze indiscriminately, and they eat the grass in the winter pastures before winter, where do they go to graze the grass? There was already a shortage of forage, and the fire only added to the situation. ”

The local's statement convinced most of the people to listen to him.

"It was because of such a thing that Li Zhenenvoy spent a winter to demarcate the grassland, where to put it in the spring, where to put it in the summer, it is clearly delineated for you, if anyone breaks the rules and violates the law, they will either pay or squat in prison."

"If you want me to say that I should have done this a long time ago, otherwise those people will not follow the rules, and it will not be everyone who will be harmed in the end?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

On this lazy spring afternoon, the guests of the house expressed their opinions, and then left in a hurry, all their lives fighting for their livelihoods, they had lived like this before, and they were still living like this after a few years. This world is neither good nor bad for them, but it is especially satisfying to be able to make a living in such a relatively fair environment.

The rest of the wine table was in disarray, and only two customers were left in the corner, who poured the last drop of wine from the jar into the wine cup and tasted it slowly.

Dr. Jiu cleaned up the case, and was quite envious of these two leisurely guests, who didn't seem to be worried about the next meal.

Huangfu Weiming pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time, and Wang Sili also sat quietly, not to disturb him.

He knew what he was thinking. On their way to the west and north, they spent three or four months conducting official examinations, relying on checking accounts, inquiring about public opinions, and raiding the army's appearance and discipline, farmland, water conservancy, and post roads.

The trip to Schuler was quite different, and they seemed to hear a whole story here. The context depicted by these simple words can't help but make him substitute for it, thinking that if he were to be himself, would he do better than him. For this Shule town envoy who doesn't know him at all, the only information they know is "Li Siye, a native of Jingzhao Gaoling, the current ...... "But after hearing some rumors in this city, they began to sketch the image in their imagination, and they became more and more plump, and now they can't wait to meet this envoy of Li Zhen."......

Huangfu Weiming drank the last drop of wine, put the cup upside down on the table, and said hard and crisply: "Clean up, let's visit the town guard embassy." ”

"But we didn't ......" Dr. Jiu passed by them, and left after wiping the case, Wang Sili raised his voice slightly: "We didn't bring official uniforms, and the fish charms and fish bags were all left in the car, dressed like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the town embassy." ”

Huangfu Sinong seemed to have made up his mind, and said stubbornly: "I can't wait for three days, I have to go and see it today, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." Then he shook his sleeves and looked down at his body: "As for this dress, I believe that those who can be praised by Li Yan will not drive us out as beggars." ”

"Let's go!"

"Go now?"

"Take the initiative to visit, of course, while it is hot."

Wang Sili stacked a stack of copper coins on the desk and shouted to Dr. Jiu: "Doctor, settle the bill!" ”

The two of them were each dressed in thick Hu clothes, with collars folded to protect them from the wind and cold, and they also had hoods on their heads, and they strode towards the town guard envoy's mansion with their hands behind their backs.

……

Li Siye stood on the flat roof of Pei Guoliang's house, looking around and overlooking the city of Shule. He turned his head to look at the town envoy's mansion not far away, and could only see a green shade, and the courtyard wall was very high, and he couldn't look through it. I thought that I was fortunate to not be able to overlook my house, otherwise I would have to use gunpowder to demolish this house.

Pei Dudu was originally lying on the Hu bed, but when he saw Li Siye standing up, he had no choice but to put on his boots and stand side by side with him.

"Can you stop repairing the ancestral hall for Geng Gongjing first, stop and wait for two days."

"Why? This is in accordance with the will of God, a certain has already visited in front of the well, promising to make a appearance, you let the work suddenly stop, how do you let me explain it in the will of God? ”

Li Siye smacked his lips, it is indeed the most difficult for God to explain.

"The triennial Longyou Provincial Official Examination is about to be held, and I don't want people to say at this juncture that I pretend to be auspicious and put gold on my face and engage in face engineering."

"What is a face-saving project?"

"Well, it's just a project with a face, not a lining."

Pei Guoliang was confused, but he still didn't understand, and only said vaguely: "If they ask, you will say that it has nothing to do with you, and you are presiding over the construction." ”

"But you say so, who believes it?"

Li Siye looked through the cracks in the leaves next to the roof, and just in time saw two people dressed as business travelers walking towards the mansion of the town guard, these two people strutted with their heads held high, their hands behind their backs, and their stomachs were more arrogant than him. He raised his hands and arched towards Pei Guoliang: "There is a guest here, I have to go back to entertain the guest." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the stairs in the dome house, and Pei Guoliang said loudly behind him: "Hey, I can't repair the ancestral hall yet!" ”

"Say it again."

……

The two Huangfu came to the gate of the town guard embassy, and there were two soldiers on the left and right of the main gate, and the side door was open. He smiled and stretched out his hand to point to Wang Sili: "Let's go, let's go over." ”

As soon as the two of them stepped into the threshold, a military attache wearing a dark blue robe walked out of the inverted room, pointed at the two and asked, "Where did you come from?" Break in without asking? ”

Wang Sili frowned and let go, hurriedly retracted his steps, and arched his hand towards Yan Xiaosi and said, "The two of us have something important to ask to see Li Zhen's envoy, please report on your behalf." ”

"General Li is not in the house." Yan Xiaosi glanced at the two of them, probably because the other party did not call him "military master" but "respectful driver", he was quite unhappy in his heart, and glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" Is the town envoy's mansion also something that you like can set foot in? ”

Wang Sili was aroused by Yan Xiaosi's desire to fight: "What's wrong with the vendors? Are the vendors not the people of the Tang Dynasty? Can't you ask to see the envoy? ”

"Nonsense, if our general meets you traders all day long, will he still have time to do business?"

"Little four." Twelve Niangqingjun's voice came from behind him: "Where did these two come from?" ”

Yan Xiaosi turned around and replied, "Lady, the two businessmen who came from nowhere said they wanted to see the general." ”

Twelve Niang folded her hands, did not look at the two of them, her hair was like a distant mountain, her eyebrows swept lightly, and she said: "Since you are here to ask to see your husband, I think there is something important to come, let them come in." ”

Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to cross his hand to Twelve Niang and said, "Huh." ”

"Two please," Twelve Niang walked in front with her skirt lightly, the two thanked and followed behind, and Yan Xiaosi stayed at the end with a depressed face.

Wang Sili kept peeking at the side face of Twelve Niang, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes wanting to speak and stopping.

She led the two into the main hall of the outer courtyard, instructed her servants to bring felt and invited them to take their seats, and ordered them to make tea to entertain the guests, and then bowed to the two and said, "The two of you will sit down and wait for the time being, and the husband will come back later." ”

Wang Sili suddenly straightened up and bowed his hand and asked: "The lady looks like a person, Wang Sili took the liberty to ask, are you Li Shiniang, the disciple of Gongsun Auntie." ”

Twelve Niang turned to look at him, there was no fluctuation in her eyes, and she lowered her body and replied, "That's right." ”

Wang Sili was speechless, Twelve Niang nodded at him, turned around and walked out of the hall, and whispered to Yan Xiaosi, who was about to leave: "Xiaosi, you come with me." ”

They walked through the pillars on the outer edge of the main hall and stood still in front of the hall, Twelve Niang folded her hands and turned around, sighed and said, "Little Si, you have no eyesight. ”

Xiao Si's eyes were stunned, and then he woke up and crossed his hands in shame: "Madame taught you a lesson." ”

She lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and said indifferently: "A person's nobility and nobility are not in their clothes, but in their eyebrows. If you don't have the ability to discern, it's best to treat everyone equally. ”
