Northern Dynasties

Chapter 132 Affectionate and Harmonious
In the Taifu, Li Tai was received by Su Chuo after waiting for a long time.

Su Chuo was as vigorous and resolute as ever. After listening to Li Tai's self-introduction of his intentions, he took over the personnel plan and browsed it.

After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Li Tai, frowning and asked, "Du Shui and He Canal, is it necessary to use so many people?"

It is normal for Su Chuo to have this question. The entire Western Wei court has a very rough and crude personnel structure since its establishment, and the same is true for the Overlord Mansion.Mo Cao, who Li Taiqian worked for, only had more than [-] people, which was already the size of the important department of the Taiwan government.

The personnel plan put forward by Li Tai doubled the number of personnel in Dushuitai alone, not including the envoys of Quyan and other personnel who will be set up as needed in the future.If we really want to fully structure it, I am afraid that it will have to exceed the staff size of hundreds of people.

This is obviously different from Xingtai's previous style, so Su Chuo asked this question.

Li Tai had been prepared for this, and after hearing the words, he quickly explained: "There is a need for this. Water conservancy is the foundation of farming and mulberry. The former is managed by all the cao, states and counties, but many people are superfluous and cannot be full-time. Since the Great Unification , There is almost no water conservancy construction in the huge Kansai.

The canals are abandoned and the weirs are in disrepair. The so-called "making the best use of the land" to persuade the government is just a formality.Tyrannical power dominates the water, the people lose their farmland, and the coordination between public and private needs the wisdom of the crowd.There are even more indiscriminate installations, which need to be carefully scrutinized and supplemented for the country.Clearing up old disadvantages and opening up new things do require the efforts of those involved. "

As the saying goes, there are no diamonds, no porcelain work, but there are also smart women who can't cook without rice.He has already boasted to Daxingtai that he wants to keep everything going at the same time, but he can't do it on his own no matter what, there is still room to fight for it, of course he has to try his best.

Of course Su Chuo also knew that Daxingtai attached great importance to this matter, so he nodded after listening to Li Tai's explanation, but then said: "Nowadays, there are not enough idlers in the Taiwan government, and Li Lang, you have many new political tactics. I'm afraid it's not enough to dispatch all the staff, you need to recruit soldiers from the field."

Li Tai had already planned and prepared for this, and after hearing the words, he said: "My qualifications are shallow, and I am afraid that it is not enough to attract the masses. In terms of recruiting personnel, I also hope that Su Shangshu can help."

"You see that my case is still too small? Do it with confidence, but if you can keep the heart of public affairs, you will not be afraid of others' gossip."

After Su Chuo heard this, he laughed again and said that he didn't intend to intervene in Li Tai's personnel issues to show his authority.

"With Shang Shu's words, I feel more at ease. Although people speak lightly, they will definitely do their best."

It is one thing to have a plan, but it is also the minimum respect to ask the boss for instructions.Su Chuo himself is not a person with a strong desire for power, and the current hegemony politics does not allow too much intrigue, so that people can focus on things.

Looking at Su Chuo's slightly sunken eye sockets, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh inwardly again, it's a pity that his son Su Wei couldn't learn his father's style of conduct, so that although he had been famous for half his life, he ended up in a miserable old life.

After the personnel issue was finalized, Li Taicai said again: "Today's visit, apart from asking the Minister to rectify omissions and negligence, I would also like to ask, if a new matter is just established, can the Taiwan government provide capital so that those involved can establish the matter as soon as possible? "

"Wait a minute, let me take a look!"

Hearing this, Su Chuo frowned subconsciously, not because he was disgusted with Li Tai's question, but because he was instinctively irritated by such questions.

He is the new leader of the Taiwan government this year, but the finances of the Taiwan government have been unhealthy for a long time. Su Chuo is too powerless in this position, so that he feels a headache when he hears people begging for money, food and materials.

He stood up and walked to the copywriting on the other side, quickly browsed the recent payment items, then shook his head helplessly at Li Tai, and sighed: "There is no relevant warrant issued by Daxingtai. It is true that there is no money to give at the moment. I am really in a dilemma here, Li Lang, you should go and sue Daxingtai, and if Daxingtai agrees to act, I will be able to make supplementary arrangements here."

Li Tai was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He also understood that Su Chuo didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, and there must be no room for adjustment, so he instructed him to go to the boss to cry poorly.

So he stopped pestering Su Chuo any more, stood up, took his leave and left, and went straight to the Taifu.Not to mention the large amount of investment required in the early stage of the Luoshui Canal, the food and drink of so many subordinates is also a big problem.

No matter whether he has a solution himself or not, he has to mention this need to the leader.If the leader authorizes him to solve it by himself, it means that he is capable of doing things and the leader trusts him.The leader didn't mention this matter but he took the initiative to solve it.

When he came to Zhitang to see him, he was told that Daxingtai had left early.Although he was in vain, he still asked for a pen and paper from his colleagues in the office, wrote down his appeal on the case, and please put it in a conspicuous place on the desk, hoping that Daxingtai can see it as soon as possible.

Not being able to see Yu Wentai, seeing that it was still early, he wandered around the Taifu again, chatting with a few familiar officials of the Taifu, and by the way mentioned that he was recruiting subordinates. Suitable candidates can be recommended to him.

Of course, he is not lacking in use and thirsty for talents. He is nothing more than expressing his attitude that he does not eat alone and is willing to share with everyone, and exchange some political resources with each other.

Not long after entering Xingtai, he was quickly promoted to be a Zhonglang, and he was also given the opportunity to preside over special affairs.It is impossible not to be envied by others, and it is also necessary to strengthen the human relationship and interest entanglement with colleagues in the Taiwan government. Even if there is an arrow shot from behind, someone can cover it and share it.

When Li Tai was socializing with his colleagues in the Taifu, Yu Wentai also held a family banquet in the backyard of the Bafu, specially for Zhao Gui, a fellow villager.

Yu Wentai's living is not luxurious, the hall is simply furnished, apart from him, there are only Zhao Gui and Yu Wendao who are on the side seats.

Zhao Gui had just been recalled from Chang'an, and now he was sitting in the banquet with disheveled beard and hair, bloodshot eyes, looking haggard from the travels and dust, he just drank alcohol after seeing the ceremony.

Yu Wentai naturally understood where Zhao Gui's worries came from, but for a while he didn't know how to start the conversation, so he just signaled the waiter to pour wine for Zhao Gui attentively.

The wine was full of sorrow, tears welled up in Zhao Gui's eyes, he suddenly left the table, kowtowed in front of Yu Wentai's table, took off the seal and put it in front of him, choked up and said: "I can't bear it, the blood in the household can't do it." Watching carefully, and not worthy of the Lord to push for big things... The family suffered such a disaster, the father and son are the laughing stock of the world, the perpetrator laughed wildly in the dark, every time he saw the sad state of his son, his heart ached!"

Yu Wentai did not directly respond to Zhao Gui's cry, but just pointed at Yu Wendao at the table and said, "Go to Chang'an, and interrogate one by one since the governor of Yongzhou. The county strictly investigates the bandits in the territory, and find out where the crime is committed as soon as possible!"

Director Yuwen stood up after hearing the words, but he didn't leave in a hurry.

The incident has happened for many days, and the first-hand clues and evidence have long since disappeared. Even if the world is peaceful, it will not be easy to track it down.What's more, there are a lot of wandering robbers around Gyeonggi. Even if these people are not the ones who committed the murder, their wandering around without a fixed place can greatly confuse the sight.

Moreover, the clues provided by Zhao Gui's servants are also secretive, and some places are even contradictory. It is almost impossible to investigate the matter clearly.

So no matter Yu Wentai's order or Zhao Gui's current appearance, all he wants is an attitude.It doesn't make much sense to be a moment earlier or a moment later.

Yu Wentai got up and went down the hall, walked up to Zhao Gui, squatted down, picked up his talisman charms and hung them back one by one, patted Zhao Gui's rickety and trembling shoulders and sighed: "Yuangui and I are not just about power and status." Up and down? There are more than one old stories of getting acquainted with Han Su, getting to know each other on a dangerous journey, and supporting each other, how can you abandon me in the middle?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gui burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "I, I am ashamed. When I was trapped in Ge Rong's army, it was not King Luosheng who took care of me. I could hardly live... At that time, I made a secret vow that I must I am determined to follow and live up to my great kindness! But now the Lord has established his business in Kansai, and he has enlisted all heroes, internal and external personnel, and he no longer has to be a minister to do things, a minister..."

"What kind of nonsense is this! Am I just a ruthless and ruthless power follower? Even so, we need a truly loyal confidant to share the cause! The deep friendship between each other is not as good as the little thing in the arms of Huli when he was young. ?You are eager to love your son, and I don’t blame you for saying such things so easily, but if you are still stubborn, it will make people sad!”

Yuwentai gave Yuwendao a wink, and after seeing this, Yuwendao went into the back hall to attract several cousins.

Yu Wentai stood up and ordered his sons and daughters to come forward and salute Zhao Gui, Zhao Gui quickly stood up and avoided after seeing this.

"Bringing these humble creatures out to pay homage is not to show off the population of the household to Yuangui, but to tell you that these little creatures are not unusual."

Yu Wentai took Zhao Gui and sent him back to the banquet, and pointed to a few timid little girls and said: "Before, I had a secret plan, and at this moment of frustration and sadness, I will tell Yuangui that one of the girls is here for you. Your family supports me. If you don’t think my family education is simple, you can choose from this hall, and when she looks good, please lead her away to serve Weng Gu!”

Hearing Daxingtai's words, Zhao Gui was excited again, hurriedly got up from the table, bowed deeply in the tunnel and said, "How fortunate is it for you, my son, to be treated so affectionately by Daxingtai! From now on, I must cultivate my morals, make meritorious deeds bravely, and be kind to you!"

Yuwentai raised his hands to screen his children away, and sat back in the table himself, and then said to Zhao Gui: "This is what I, a hero in Beizhen, should say. Although my daughter is not precious, I hope she can be worthy of the honor. , Encounter is generous, family style is rewarding, affectionate and harmonious!"

After Zhao Gui heard the words, he naturally nodded repeatedly.Daxingtai's promise to get married made him feel elated, but he couldn't help but secretly regret it.His eldest son is of the right age, but has become disabled, so it is naturally impossible for him to marry a woman from the Daxingtai family.

It will take a few years for the youngest son to grow up, which means that the marriage with Daxingtai will have to be postponed for a few years.Thinking of this, besides hating those gangsters, Zhao Gui also blamed his eldest son, Zhao Yongguo, if not for the careless pursuit of his life, he would have married Daxingtai at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Gui was no longer depressed and sad, Yu Wentai smiled again and said, "To invite Yuan Gui today, besides discussing family affairs, there is another official matter that I hope you can bear to fulfill. Your garden business on the east bank of Luoshui , the Taiwan government needs to requisition new items, can you make a donation?"

Zhao Gui was still immersed in joy at this moment, and after hearing the words, he nodded without hesitation and said: "Taifu's plan comes first, how dare I abolish the government for personal reasons? Immediately go to the village to clean up, and ask the Taiwan government's envoy to check and accept it!"
