Northern Dynasties

Chapter 128
When we left Li Hu's mansion, it was getting late, so Li Tai dispatched his family members who were waiting outside to inform his cousins ​​that he was out of trouble, and then invited the two of them to Gao Zhongmi's mansion in the city to rest and sit.

It was rare for Su Chuo to return to Beijing, so he waved his goodbyes and went home first. Although Shuohui also had an official residence in Beijing, he didn't bother to disturb his family, so he returned with Li Tai.

"Boshan, this time I have done a lot of favors for you. Is it not too much to ask for a meal?"

As soon as he entered the door, a figure strode towards him, it was Yu Wenhu who came here first after leaving He Ba's house and waited.

Li Tai had already learned from some Hui that Yu Wenhu took the initiative to take over the matter. Although he didn't know what he said to the He Ba family brothers, it was obvious that he had settled the two.

Otherwise, according to his observation and understanding of Li Hu, even if Daxingtai came forward to protect him, Li Hu would not keep silent about this matter.

"Brother Sa Bao said that, but it makes people sad! Even if there is no such thing, since brother has entered the house, shouldn't I treat him warmly?"

Li Tai laughed first, then took a small step back and bowed deeply to Yu Wenhu, and said seriously: "This time, I really want to thank brother Sa Bao for saving me! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in someone else's family tonight."

Seeing Li Tai expressing his gratitude so solemnly, Yu Wenhu was a little embarrassed for a while, but he was really happy in his heart. He patted Li Tai on the shoulder and smiled, "Sweeping away the bad luck of evil influence, this night Just drink!"

As money became more abundant, Gao Zhongmi's family reserves gradually increased. Although Chang'an's official residence was not often lived in, there was no shortage of fine wine.The three of them went to the hall to have a drink, and the host and guest had a good time.

Early the next morning, Li Tai got up to exercise and went back to his room to wash up. Yu Wenhu walked out of the bedroom door shaking his hangover head. While having breakfast, he briefly told Li Tai how he handled the matter.

When he heard that the Heba brothers were asking for [-] pieces of silk, Li Tai also frowned. He didn't expect the two brothers to dare to think so much.

"The [-] bolts of silk in Heba Zhonghua's share, I will bear it for you, Boshan. But the debt of [-] bolts of the mourning lady in Huazhou, Boshan, you have to deal with it yourself!"

Yu Wenhu was very proud of his handling method, and said to Li Tai with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Tai's heart was filled with [-] mud horses, not to mention [-] silk, even [-], even if he sold him, he couldn't get it together!
"Does Boshan want to know how I can write off this huge debt? I'm just bringing up the old story of Lishan..."

Yu Wenhu proudly narrated the process of gaining prestige in He Ba's house, and finally said with a chuckle: "After all the calculations, we only need to pay He Ba Zhonghua two thousand bolts of silk, and the matter will be over.

So you don’t have to feel that you owe me much. I gave you a treasured sword before, but because of the dog thief’s disturbance, it caused you to cut off your love. I will take this opportunity to make it up to you. You are not allowed to say that I am a person who does not keep my word! "

The more Yu Wenhu said that, the more Li Tai naturally wanted to express his gratitude.Yu Wenhu actually paid [-] bolts of silk, but that was Yuwenhu's own resourcefulness, and Li Tai still had to treat it as a huge favor of [-] bolts of silk.

So while expressing his gratitude to Yu Wenhu repeatedly, Li Tai yelled at those two guys in his heart. It was these greedy and stern brothers who made him owe such a big favor to Yu Wenhu for nothing. Furious.

Is Yu Wenhu's favor so good?
These two bastards are really stupid. They gained a bad reputation for being greedy for nothing. In the end, they didn't get any benefits. They only recorded a large sum of money in Li Tai's favor account.

He was already in a bad mood here, and when he thought about the little tail left by Yu Wenhu, which should be distributed to Dugu Miaoyin, the inheritance of [-] pieces of silk from He Basheng's adopted daughter, Li Tai suddenly felt even more upset.

Dugu Xin may not be greedy for this, but such a thing is a pretext, maybe one day he will have to talk about it.

The more you think about it, the more you will get a headache, just don't think about it, and pay off the debt with your own body when the big deal comes to an end. I don't think your family is soft, and you don't think I'm worthless.

No matter how many good words there are, they are just empty words, don't care if Li Taile is not happy, since Yu Wenhu has done such a big favor, he must show something.

While Jihui also got up and came to the restaurant, Li Tai talked about Yuwenhu's shareholding in the printing business.

Shuo Hui has nothing to do with this, he has great confidence in Li Tai's management ability, and he does not reject Yu Wenhu's joining.

Yu Wenhu was a little dumbfounded when he heard that the annual profit of this printing business reached tens of thousands of pieces of silk.Although Lishan Garden Industry has made huge profits, due to the short operating days, the actual dividends he received are not many.

Previously, he agreed to the compensation of [-] bolts of silk from He Ba's brothers, which was also for the purpose of expanding the favor, and there was no plan to actually pay it at all.But this printing business is legitimate and innocent, and it is of great benefit to the administration of the court. Naturally, it will not be subject to seizure and ban, which is a real and predictable benefit.

"It's no wonder you, Boshan, have the courage to take on important responsibilities. With this kind of talent for changing paper and silk, there is nothing to worry about!"

Thinking of his uncle's proposal to let Li Tai assist him to clean up Luoshui, Yuwenhu felt that it was very feasible and not a false plan.

But now that the appointment has been issued, it is inconvenient for him to bring up the old matter again, not to mention that Li Tai is now willing to share such a long-term profit and financial resources, which also deepens the friendship between each other, so there is no need to go back on his word.

"That's what I think. Now that the imperial court is using government, one is in the prefecture and county, and the other is in the imperial court..."

Although Yu Wenhu was introduced into the work, Li Tai did not intend to directly share and distribute the current industrial scale, but to open up a new market, that is, the printing of official documents in the central department.

He had previously discussed with Mo Cao's two colleagues the idea of ​​simplifying the reform of administrative procedures, which was paving the way for this matter.During this period of time, a more mature idea was formed, but he did not intend to suggest to Xingtai to try it out, but to confide this idea to Yu Wenhu.

Yu Wenhu was still a little unfamiliar with the Taiwan government's administrative procedures. After all, he hadn't had much in-depth contact with him before, but seeing Li Tai's words were determined, he listened carefully.

"This matter involves various bureaucrats in the Taiwan government. It is complicated and necessary. It cannot be undertaken by a trusted and powerful person. Brother Sabao, you are a strong talent in the family. You are the best choice for your confidant. You are shrewd and capable. If you can enter the Taiwan government to preside over the matter, you can also It can share the heavy responsibility of government affairs for Daxingtai.”

Although Li Tai didn't know that Yuwentai had experienced some ups and downs in ideological struggles before his appointment, but he was still vigilant in peace of mind, worried that his career in Luoshui would improve slightly or that Yuwentai would instruct his cronies to pick peaches.

So he also arranged a position for Yuwenhu, a potential competitor, in his heart, that is, let Yuwenhu advocate and preside over the simplified reform of Taiwan government administration. Once Yuwenhu's energy is involved in this, he will have no time to worry about other things .

Although it is said that Yuwentai is mainly cultivating and honing Yuwen Dao at the moment, if there is an opportunity for Yu Wenhu to practice government affairs, he probably will not refuse.

In this way, Yu Wenhu can not only grasp more power, but also closely combine the power in his hands with business development. This temptation is definitely leveraged.

Although Yu Wenhu didn't quite understand the specific details of the matter, he was also excited by Li Taiyi's prospect.

Although he doesn't like to be busy with paperwork, Yu Wentai also said in the previous conversation that he would not consider letting him take charge of the army independently, so it is undoubtedly an excellent choice to accumulate prestige and talents in the Taiwan government.And in addition to the accumulation of power and prestige, he can also get real benefits in return, which makes him even more tempted.

"Boshan, you are astute in planning, which is indeed admirable. It's ridiculous that those two clumsy people are obsessed with short-sightedness, and they want to sever friendship with you!"

Hearing what Yu Wenhu said, Li Tai just chuckled, I'm not as smart as you, you have a lot of face in this coquettish operation, which makes me owe such a big favor.

Shuo Hui neither understood nor was interested in what the two of them were talking about.He came here at the beginning, seeing that Li Tai was fine, he took his leave after breakfast.

Then, Li Tai's cousins ​​also came to ask. When they heard that it would take [-] bolts of silk to buy out the matter, they couldn't help but lament that the generation of He Ba's family really couldn't do it.

When Li Tai was detained at home by Li Hu, many Shiliu in Chang'an City came forward to support him.Although the actual effect is not great, Li Tai cannot ignore this kind of friendship.

So in the next few days, he was not in a hurry to leave Chang'an, he prepared some gifts, and under the leadership of his cousins, he visited the door one by one to express his thanks.

In addition, he will be ordered to take up his new post after returning to the office, and the task of writing a biography for Zhou Huida when he was a writer must also be cleared.

In the past few days at Li Hu's house, he had already finished the first draft, and handed it over to his cousin Lu Rou for some polishing, and sent triplicate copies to Zhou Huida's son, Su Chuo, and the court historian for reading and appreciation. After they all expressed their satisfaction, This task is successfully completed.

Yu Wenhu didn't leave either, taking advantage of the few days together, he kept discussing the details of the administrative reform with Li Tai.

I have to say that this guy is indeed very capable of accepting and comprehending. He was a little jerky at the beginning, but as the communication deepened, he became more and more calm.

After all, Yu Wenhu's foundation is already excellent, and from his helping Li Tai this time, it can be seen that his methods are exquisite.Even if it is a little jerky, it is just a lack of experience.

After such busy personnel affairs, in late July, Li Tai finally finished his social return visit in Chang'an, and was impatient to return to Huazhou to accept his new official position.

Yu Wenhu naturally walked with him, and on the way, he smiled mysteriously at Li Tai and said: "There is no need to rush the return journey. If the time is right, I will lead Boshan to meet a good thing that makes people feel happy!"

Seeing the smirk on this guy's face, even though he didn't say it clearly, Li Tai could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
