A group of people hugged the ** mountain, and the grass under the mountain was green, stretching to the foot of several mountains, or spreading out to the south around the mountain, and the jade belt-like river crossed through the middle of the grassland. The rugged herdsman with a knife pointed to the pasture at his feet and said, "From this side, and behind the mountain, there is all the pasture where we graze. ”

Li Siye turned his head to the west, and the grass at the end became a little lighter, and there was a lot of bare loess in the distance. He pointed and asked, "What is that place?" ”

"It seems to be a trade road and a village in the past."

"Yes, yes!" A representative elected by several people said: "Official, that is the village where we live, and behind the village is the acres of fields. ”

Li Siye Qi said: "Since there is your farmland near the village, why don't you go to the edge of the farmland to reclaim the wasteland, why do you want to run to this grassland?" ”

The herdsmen were supported, and their momentum suddenly grew stronger: "The official is right, you are obviously greedy for the fertility of the pasture on our side, so you came here to encroach on the pasture!" ”

These reclamation farmers replied one after another: "Of course, reclamation of wasteland is to choose land with good soil quality for reclamation, there is nothing wrong with this!" Why are you only allowed to graze, but we are not allowed to cultivate the fields? ”

Li Siye was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that farming could be more powerful than grazing, and in front of himself, a high-ranking official of the Tang Army, he was so strong.

He pointed to the farmhouse in the distance and said loudly: "There must also be a plan for cultivating the land, and you can't cultivate it indiscriminately, since your village is more than ten miles away, the cultivated barren land must also surround the village and the road, and the grassland must not be encroached upon at will." ”

One of the reclamation people who stood up and spoke out just now crossed his waist, frowned and stood in front of Li Siye stiffly, and proudly raised the corners of his mouth and crossed his hands: "Official, letting the people reclaim the land is Li Zhongcheng's decision, you don't let us open up the wasteland here now, but let us figure it out, should we listen to you, or should we listen to Li Zhongcheng?" ”

"Hmph," Li Siye couldn't help but laugh angrily at him, this is the real Diao Min, using the decrees and notices he issued as weapons to attack others, if he sits in the palace all day long, does not come out to inspect in person, and sits at home and is used by others, he doesn't know.

Pang Yue stood up from the side and twitched his cheeks and sneered: "Diao Min, do you know who is in front of you......

Li Siye stretched out his hand to stop Pang Yueduo's mouth, put his hands behind his back and raised his head and said: "Naturally, listen to me, the Beiting Festival made Li Siye only know how to issue official documents to reward the reclamation, but he did not pay attention to protecting the grasslands and mountains and forests, and when he went back, he immediately ordered him to redraft the notice." What is this Tian Shehan for? It's so lax to make a notice! He doesn't want to do it! If you can't do it, you can go back to the countryside of Gaoling to farm! ”

Pang Yue opened his mouth in surprise, he could even scold himself, he had never seen this kind of operation, it was an eye-opener.

These herdsmen and reclamation farmers were also shocked, in their eyes, the envoy of the town who held the military and political power of Beiting was already in the sky, and this casually opened his mouth to let him go back to the countryside to farm, wouldn't the official position be even greater.

He turned to the reclamation peasants again and said, "You go home first in the next few days, don't open up the wasteland for the time being, and wait for the new notice of the Anxi Protectorate to be released, and then it will not be too late to reclaim the land according to the notice." ”

After the farmers looked at each other, they had no choice but to retreat, and a group of people ran down the mountain with farm tools.

The herdsmen wanted to express their gratitude to Li Siye, but they didn't know how to call him, so they couldn't simply call him an official, so they had to bow down and snort.

Li Siye waved his hand to them and said: "Leave the pasture to you, but you must not graze uncontrollably, and plan out the spring, summer, autumn and winter pastures." ”

The herdsmen were surprised, but they didn't expect this official from the Central Plains to be so knowledgeable about the nomads, and they crossed their hands again and again: "Well, we will definitely follow your orders." ”

After these herdsmen also left, Li Siye stood on the top of the mountain and raised his eyes to look, the white clouds on the horizon were leisurely moving westward, and there were lonely geese flapping their wings at the end of the desert yellow sand. He also decided to continue to the west and inspect several garrison cities within the jurisdiction of the North Court.

He opened his mouth to ask Pang Yue behind him, "Judge Pang, did you bring pen, ink and paper when you traveled?" ”

"Zhongcheng, bring it, it's in the cowhide bag on my horseback."

Li Siye looked left and right, and said: "Just find a place here, I will send a letter to Cen Shen, and ask him to issue a notice in the name of the Metropolitan Protectorate again." ”

Pang Yue's body didn't move, and he asked hesitantly: "Zhongcheng, don't we go back, and we still have to write a letter and send it back?" ”

"Of course," Li Siye spoke very briefly, giving people a feeling of undoubtedness, and then he said: "There are still a few guarding cities to the north of Luntai, and we will inspect them together." ”

Pang Yue said with his hands in his hand, and immediately went down the mountain to get the stationery bag from the horse, and Yan Xiaosi and the others found a small stone and turned the flatter side up, which could be used as a case for the time being. They packed up, and Pang Yue also went up the mountain with a stationery bag, took out the paper in the bag, and found two small stones to use as paperweights. Pang Yue personally knelt on the side and sharpened the ink, and was very happy in his heart, Li Siye personally wrote a letter, which was really rare to see, and the right minister explained that Li Siye's handwriting was about to be realized so soon.

He put the hand-polished ink and inkstone in the corner of the wild table, dipped the ink with a small seal pen, and then handed it to Li Siye.

Li Siye raised his head and meditated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Pang Yue, stretched out his pen and said, "I forgot that you are also a scholar, or you will write this letter." ”

Pang Yue's ghostwriting is no problem, although he can't understand the writing and ink, but the level of practicing calligraphy is okay, and he almost blurted it out. Fortunately, the external brain kept him awake, and now is the best opportunity to get Li Siye's own handwriting, and he must find a way to shirk the past.

He had an idea, and hurriedly stretched out his left hand to pinch his right wrist, pretending to be guilty and regretful: "I wanted to write a letter for Zhongcheng, but I hurt my wrist when riding a horse the day before yesterday, and I really can't hold the pen, so I ask Zhongcheng to forgive me." ”

Li Siye smiled happily: "It's okay, after I go back, I will rest for two days, and go to the military medical officer to get some gold sore medicine to treat my wrist well." ”

Except for Pang Yue, there are all vulgar military men around him, where can he write any letters. I had to pick up the pen and start writing by myself. The letter was written entirely in the vernacular, and the presumptuous content was that someone used the notice of the imperial court to encroach on the pastures and forests, and you immediately redrafted a notice, demanding that the people who cultivated the land should not go beyond the boundaries of the wasteland, and asked the peasants to go to the capital to register before clearing the wasteland.

Just one or two hundred words, he sketched and scribbled several times. Pang Yue secretly probed over to take a look, and couldn't help frowning, Li Zhongcheng's handwriting was really bad and ugly, the grass was not like the grass, the regular script was not like the regular script, the font was crooked, and there were a few typos in the middle, which was simply unsightly.

Even if his Pang Yue's writing level is countdown, I didn't expect that there is anything worse than him, and even the content of the writing is in the vernacular, it seems that this Li Zhongcheng really doesn't know anything except fighting and killing people.

Li Siye put down the pen and ink, lifted the written paper, gently blew the cool breeze in his mouth to dry the ink, folded it and stretched out his hand to Yan Xiaosi, and said in his mouth: "Xiaosi, you immediately go back and bring this letter to Cen Shen, and order him to immediately redraw the notice and post it all over the North Garden." ”

Yan Xiaosi was just about to reach out and take it, when Pang Yue suddenly interjected and begged: "Zhongcheng, I forgot that there is something important at home that I forgot, so I am willing to make a trip for Captain Yan and bring this letter to Secretary Cen." ”

Li Siye pretended not to know his intentions, and asked hesitantly: "As a judge of the festival, how can you do this errand and herald order?" It is not in line with the ceremony. ”

"Zhongcheng don't blame, Pang Yue just wants to experience the difficulties of those herald soldiers, please Zhongcheng for permission."

"This, okay."

Pang Yue finally went down the mountain with the letter in his hand, and Li Siye looked at the black spots that his body had turned into, and a sneer erupted from his nostrils.
