    It was just a matter of appeasing the deputy envoy, and it did not affect Li Jiyi's mood at all.  In the morning, the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family served the man breakfast, but she was always absent-minded and always picked the wrong dishes.  Mrs. Zheng never imagined that her man would be the unattainable eldest son of the emperor, and her heart could not suppress the pounding in her heart.  "Ahem, I picked it up wrong again." Li Jiyi saw Zheng picking up another chopstick of fatty meat that he didn't like, so he had no choice but to stop it.  "Official, slave slave family" Zheng hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Please punish me, official." Li Jiyi smiled slightly, put his hand around Zheng's slim waist, and said affectionately: "You are my second  A woman, I am your first man, no matter what happens in the future, I will treat you well, do you understand?" Zheng leaned softly in Li Jiyi's arms, nodded obediently, and said, "I don't trust officials.  , Who else can you believe?" Li Jiyi smiled softly and raised his hand to stroke Zheng's black hair, but felt strange in his heart.  It's been so long since the seed was planted, why hasn't there been any movement in Zheng's stomach?  However, there seems to be no movement from the second brother Li Jixiao's side.  Otherwise, Li Jiyi would be under great pressure.  After all, it is impossible to choose someone without heirs as the heir to the empire!  According to common sense, Li Jiyi should have got married long ago.  However, there has been no movement from the father's side.  According to Li Jiyi¡¯s speculation, his future bride cannot be too young.  Because, my father once analyzed the truth in detail.  Women under the age of 18, whose bodies are not fully developed, can easily die in childbirth, killing two people.  Zheng was only fifteen years old when she followed Li Jiyi.  Now, she has already turned eighteen years old, and if she can no longer conceive, Li Jiyi will inevitably start to doubt that he is in trouble.  Li Jiyi likes Zheng mainly because she is very sensible and never fights for anything.  The Zheng family was born in Goryeo, and their family fortune has collapsed, leaving them with no one to rely on.  Objectively speaking, apart from her pretty face and fresh body, she only has the advantage of being obedient to men.  After breakfast and packing, when Li Jiyi went out to board the car, he saw Zhao Jiangmin, the captain of the gendarmerie squad, standing respectfully in front of the door.  As a superior person, Li Jiyi can naturally understand Zhao Jiangmin¡¯s little thoughts. If he doesn¡¯t fawn over him now, then when will he wait?  Don¡¯t look at Zhao Jiangmin¡¯s high status in the county.  However, in Li Jiyi's eyes, he was just a little ant, not even a character.  According to the military system, the county military police squad leader is just a captain at best.  Li Jiyi nodded to Zhao Jiangmin expressionlessly and walked directly towards the carriage, ignoring Zhao Jiangmin.  Zhao Jiangmin knew in his heart that the emperor's eldest son did not exist in his eyes at all.  However, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you, and whoever doesn't seize it is the most idiotic person in the world.  "Sir, I am willing to follow you to the death." Zhao Jiangmin saw that Li Jiyi had boarded the carriage. In desperation, he blurted out his loyalty.  "I don't need servile people here, understand?" Li Jiyi glanced at Zhao Jiangmin contemptuously, then went straight into the carriage without looking at him.  As the eldest son of the emperor, no one would believe Li Jiyi if he said he did not want to inherit the throne.  However, under the oppression of Li Zhongyi, the talents Li Jiyi needed most urgently were not people from the military, but top counselors who could see through his father's mind.  During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi of Wei State competed for the throne. Cao Pi's counselor Wu Zhi contributed a lot and repeatedly turned danger into safety.  However, Cao Zhi's counselor Yang Xiu relied on his cleverness to come up with bad ideas.  To put it bluntly, what Li Jiyi needs to identify is, who is Wu Zhi?  Who is Yang Xiu again?  As for launching the Xuanwu Gate Revolution like Li Shimin did, Li Jiyi didn't even dare to think about it.  "There are all powers in the world, but only military power, and Li Zhongyi never shared it with anyone.  The military power of the empire has always been firmly in his hands.  Xuanwumen Mutiny?  Don't be ridiculous, that's seeking death!  On the way westward, Li Jiyi fully understood what the suffering of the people was.  There are very few people in rags on the streets of Kaifeng.  However, the further west you go, the less populated, the less fertile the land, and the more poor you become.  After Li Zhongyi came to power, although he evened out the rich and poor, he only equalized the land of the powerful.  This does not mean that illiterate farmers with little knowledge can all live a prosperous life overnight.  "A pair of trousers is worn by the grandfather, then by the father, and then by the grandson. This is the norm in the western region.  ¡°Moreover, cotton has not yet been planted on a large scale, and it can only meet the needs of the military.   Farmers in the western region still wear patchwork hemp clothes.  On the official roads, poor people often appeared begging for food with broken bowls.  Li Jiyi was kind-hearted and would often order his followers to share bread with these poor people.  While chatting, Li Jiyi learned that these poor people used to live in hiding.  "The so-called hidden people, that is, the strong men who are afraid of paying their heads, deliberately hide in the mountains or forests.  As a result, by the time they knew that the head money was cancelled, the large-scale land distribution movement of the imperial court had already ended.  We have no land, no capital to do business, and we are all illiterate. Don¡¯t we have to beg for rice from the street?  Li Jiyi saw similar scenes many times, and he couldn't help but feel compassion. He wrote a special memorial and sent it directly to the palace.  The water in the west is getting less and less, and the land is getting more and more barren. It really can't support such a large population.  Li Jiyi believes that it is imperative for the population of Guanzhong to move eastward.  After passing through the Guanzhong area and entering the real western area, Li Jiyi saw another prosperous scene.  There is less arable land, insufficient water sources, and the harvest from farming is indeed not high.  However, the fertile pastures occupied by the Han people could raise horses, sheep and cattle.  The war horses raised in groups on the grassland are always valuable.  Twenty horses sold to the court can be used to deduct the entire year's costs, and the remaining dozens of good horses are all profits.  Raising horses requires no investment, just fresh pasture.  Arriving on the grassland, Li Jiyi understood that just for one family to raise horses, they would need a large area of ??pasture.  Furthermore, pastures are not static and need to be moved according to the seasons.  On the grassland, Li Jiyi lived in Dangxiangbao, which is the tent of the grassland people.  It¡¯s just that it was very embarrassing at night.  Because the people of all ethnic groups in the west are very hospitable, they not only gave Li Jiyi the best party accommodation, but also had their daughter to stay with him.  To be honest, Li Jiyi couldn't stand the body odor of the little lady on the grassland, not to mention her beauty.  When Li Jiyi arrived in Lanzhou Prefecture, he happened to catch up with the New Army's third town to move to Lanzhou. He waited outside the city for three days before entering the city.  After entering the city, Li Jiyi moved into the post station and sent someone to bring the post to the prefect's Yamen in accordance with the rules of the officialdom.  Lanzhou is the temporary residence of the third, fourth and fifth towns designated by Li Zhongyi. It is also the starting point for conquering the entire north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.  Li Jiyi also knew very well that his father already had a grand plan to conquer the entire Western Region.  After pacifying the Western Regions, the third town was stationed in Lanzhou and the fourth town was stationed in Xingqing Mansion.  Xingqing Mansion, also known as Yinchuan in later generations.  In the future, after conquering the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the fifth town will be stationed in Yili.  Li Jiyi also knew that in the future, the imperial court would set up the Yili General's Mansion to govern the vast area north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.  Not only that, Li Jiyi also knew that there is a large lake north of the Tianshan Mountains with lots of fresh water, called Lake Baikal.  His father had told him that in the entire Khitan Kingdom, this lake was one of the most strategically valuable places and a battleground.  Li Zhongyi repeatedly told Li Jiyi that this lake must be firmly in the hands of the empire, and it must not be lost even if one hundred thousand soldiers are sacrificed.  Li Zhongyi¡¯s love for the lives of the soldiers was beyond measure, and Li Jiyi knew it very clearly However, for the sake of this lake, one hundred thousand warriors could be sacrificed. One can imagine what strategic significance it has?  The governor of Lanzhou did not know the details of Li Jiyi. He was busy with the army's upcoming western expedition and did not bother to see Li Jiyi.  Just like that, Li Jiyi was sent to Weiyuan County without even seeing his immediate boss.  Weiyuan is the birthplace of the Weihe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River. It is also the only place that China's ancient Silk Road South and the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road pass through. It is located in the middle of Qinfeng Road. After the news that the new county magistrate Li was about to take office reached Weiyuan County, the county's chief bookkeeper  He led all the officials in the county to the reception pavilion ten miles outside the city in advance, waiting for Li Jiyi's arrival.  However, what the county officials did not expect was that not only the county magistrate came, but also a combined battalion of the New Army's anti-bandit force.  Looking at the majestic New Army soldiers, the chief secretary hesitated and asked his confidants: "Haven't all the bandits in this county been rounded up?" The confidants were also puzzled and could only guess: "Maybe they are worried about party items.  Are you planning to rebel? " "Nonsense, the Dangxiang people have been tamed by the emperor for a long time. Even with their eight hundred courage, they would not dare to rebel. "The bookkeeper was a little confused, but Li Jiyi's carriage had already arrived, and he couldn't think anymore.  Seeing the chief clerk leading the people to greet him, Li Jiyi did not act like a county magistrate. After getting off the car, he politely greeted everyone one by one.  After the chief clerk saw Li Jiyi's appearance clearly, he couldn't help being surprised, ah, what a young magistrate!  Li Zhongyi taught Li Jiyi step by step that to govern the people, you must first govern the officials. If the officials fail, the people will suffer.  It¡¯s just that Li Jiyi has just taken office and his eyesight is dark. He still needs time to get to know the officials in the county.  Weiyuan County Government is located in the north of the county seat, with its gate facing south.  The first thing you see is the archway standing on the street. The main archway in the middle has four pillars and three bays. Four large stone pillars decorated with cloud patterns are placed on grass white jade Xumi pedestals more than one meter high. The pillar stones, stone drums and stone lions in front and behind the pillars are as if made from nature.  .  The plaque on the front door reads "Minju Erzhan" is very eye-catching, and the four eyebrows on the left and right have the inscriptions "Uprightness, Dunren and Chongli" and "Shang Frugal".  ??Looking at the simple two-column and one-door auxiliary squares on each side, there is a stone lion looking south on the capital of the square.  The county government archway gives people a sense of solemnity and majesty. When Li Jiyi stepped in, his eyes suddenly opened up.  What an impressive government office!
