Northern Dynasties

Chapter 151
People are in good spirits on happy occasions. After leaving Taifu, Li Tai only felt that the sky was extraordinarily blue and the sun was extraordinarily warm.

Bringing the subordinate officials with him, he galloped all the way, and soon returned to the Luoxi administrative office, and gathered all the subordinate officials who remained in the administrative office, and first announced the matter of the Baishui parade in the middle of next month.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but beam with joy.What is the most worrying thing in the officialdom?It's not that the position is low, nor is it that things are difficult, but that my efforts and contributions cannot be seen by others, and I lack a sense of existence.

The military parade is definitely a major event for the country. At that time, many dignitaries and various armies will gather on the banks of the Luoshui River, and the Metropolitan Administrative Office will inevitably attract the attention of the people inside and outside.

Under such circumstances, doing well will naturally be appreciated, and of course doing poorly will attract more criticism than usual.

However, most of the Metropolitan Administrative Office are full of vigor and youth, and they have a bit of the courage and ambition of a newborn calf. They are all looking forward to an opportunity. Now that there is such a good platform for performance, they are overjoyed. worry.

"Excuse me, what do we all need to do in the parade? We must do our best to complete it!"

There was no need for Li Tai to mobilize any more, everyone present was already beaten to death.

Li Tai first described the tasks entrusted by the Daxingtai, whether it was preparing [-] catties of fish and vinegar food before the grand parade, or building a large stable along the river that could accommodate thousands of war horses, it was not an easy task.

Especially for the newly established Metropolitan Water Administration, if you don't work hard, it may really not be completed.

"Wu joins the army, and puts aside the matter at hand. Today, he will lead the team to go out, and tell the owners of the riverside kayaks that before the middle of September, the catches purchased by each company must be sent to the administrative office."

Li Tai first gave orders to Wu Jingyi, Wu Jingyi's character should be more stable and mature, and he also has a lot of contacts with fellow countrymen, the first thing to ensure right now is to successfully complete the task.

However, he is also aware of the pissing nature of the township tycoons, and he is used to cheating and hiding.

Although Li Tai pursues performance, he doesn't want to bear the reputation of abusing the people for no reason, so he ordered Mao Shijian: "The current price of Hexian will be informed by the Yanhe Moon Order. No punishment!"

Mao Shijian personally experienced the Luochuan incident, and he showed his character and style of doing things. He was not afraid of anyone who was ruthless, and now he admired Li Tai, his boss, and stood up and patted his chest and promised: "Please don't worry about it. Such evil deeds are absolutely not allowed in the eyes and ears of humble officials!"

In normal times, Li Tai would have to take into account the stubbornness of his nostalgia and dare not go too far.But now that the grand parade is about to be held, there is nothing to worry about wearing such a big tiger skin on his body, and he even wants to catch a few more models to make an example of others, not to mention that ransacking homes is really addictive.

The local resources in a larger area still need to be considered in the long run, but the two sides of the Luoshui River need to establish their prestige as soon as possible.

One is to use the name of Dayue to pretend to be a tiger, and the other is that after Dayue, he will start to form the military force under his control. Naturally, the fewer different voices within his authority, the better.

The choice of a stable is also very important. In addition to cooperating with this grand parade, Li Tai also plans to use it as a place for future troops to station.

This place needs not only rich water and grass, open terrain, which can be used for long-term stationing of troops, but also convenient transportation, which can be mobilized at any time and go to various places.Especially when there is a need to fight with people, the atmosphere must not be in place, and the personnel are still unable to arrive.

The lower reaches of the Luoshui River are convenient for supplies. It is located in the core of the Guanzhong Plain, and there is a large area around the sand garden at the angle between the Luoshui River and the Weishui River where the troops can be stationed for a long time.

However, there are already a lot of troops stationed in this place, and there are many veterans of the Beizhen army leaders.No matter how much Li Tai went to draw the land, he couldn't find the best camping place.

Although living next to those Beizhen soldiers can inspire soldiers to fight.But if you put yourself at a disadvantage from the beginning, it is not conducive to the accumulation and stimulation of morale.

The combat missions of the troops on both sides of the Weishui River are also heavy. If they need to be conscripted together, the veterans from Beizhen will naturally be the main force, and the army that Li Tai has managed to organize may only serve as cannon fodder.

Moreover, the lower reaches of the Luoshui River are located in the core of Guanzhong, and the Guanlong tycoons are more powerful in the countryside, so they must try to add sand to this new army.Although Li Tai didn't resist cooperating with them, he didn't want to reduce his right to speak from the beginning.

After thinking about it, Li Tai decided to form a new army near Baishui.Baishui is located on the northern edge of the Guanzhong Plain. Although the supply is not as convenient as the hinterland, as long as the dredging of the Luoshui River is strengthened and navigation is resumed, the logistics consumption can be reduced.

If there is any war mobilization, whether it is going south to the Guanzhong Plain or going north to the northern Shaanxi Plateau, it is not difficult to mobilize.

And there is also a manor left by He Basheng, which can be used to exchange resources with the local government and powerful people.

Before, a powerful person from Baishui County entered the office to ask for instructions to discuss the construction of ponds and weirs in the territory. Li Tai also inquired about it.

Li Tai originally wanted to procrastinate, but now he has the motivation.

He intends to cede a part of Baishui Manor and let the Baishui County Government resettle and relocate the households. The construction of Chiyan will start as soon as possible, but the management of Chiyan will be handed over to the Dushui Administrative Office.

After the white water irrigation conditions are improved, some fertile fields will inevitably be opened up along the coast.This part of the resources can be allocated by the tycoons in the border, but they have to sign a supply agreement with the Metropolitan Administration to solve part of the supplies for the Metropolitan Armed Forces in the future.

The Baishui Basin is also rich in coal resources, which can also be utilized.

Although Daxingtai only mentioned the two tasks of food and stables, good subordinates need to be anxious about the master's urgency and share the master's worries.

Therefore, while arranging his subordinates to go to Baishui to supervise the construction of the stables, Li Tai ordered a group of craftsmen who knew how to smelt and forge to go to Baishui to build a smelting and forging workshop.

With so many troops gathered in Baishui Dayue, the damage to the armor knife must of course be repaired on the spot.

Although the army under formation by the imperial court will allocate corresponding logistics personnel, there are still a large number of unorganized township armed forces. Naturally, they do not have enough logistics support. It is a pity if the performance of the Grand Parade and Field Hunting is affected due to ordnance problems .

The Luoshui Administrative Office provides supporting services, which can not only accumulate experience, but also earn some extra money.We are all brothers, and we can't just ask for money. If we really don't have enough supplies to accompany the army, we can use some broken knives and guns to offset the debt.

When arming his own trilogy before, the Hedong tycoons made a fortune. Although the account has not been sold yet, Li Tai feels distressed when he thinks about it.If there is a chance, of course, he must set up his own armory workshop.

After the serious affairs were arranged, Li Tai still felt unfulfilled.The thought that he would have a considerable armed force in the near future made him extremely excited.

However, Yu Wentai only promised to give him the qualification to recruit armored soldiers and form armed forces. It is impossible for the Taiwan government to directly allocate the army he is forming, and it is impossible to spend money to support the army.

Therefore, in order to truly possess this armed force, he still needs to solve the problem of soldiers himself, including a series of follow-up military training and other issues.

What Li Tai has now is the integration of his own and He Basheng's trilogy, and it is already a limit to draw [-] strong soldiers.If more are transferred, the production of their own industries will also be greatly affected.

Therefore, he is bound to open up new sources of soldiers and recruit from the countryside.

It is of course the quickest and most convenient way to directly compile the trilogy of the tyrants in the village. Just looking at the enthusiastic donations of the tyrants in the village last year, we can see their enthusiasm.

However, the Overlord Mansion carried out the reorganization of the strong and powerful gradually, and did not let go of all of them at once.Li Tai offered them an opportunity here, and the local tyrants in the vicinity would surely not refuse.

However, Li Tai didn't want his armed forces to be filled with too many powerful private songs, which would affect the flow of military orders too much and would not be conducive to the overall control.

Therefore, he had to first determine the number of troops he could command, the shortage of materials for raising the army, etc., and then consider how many powerful and powerful private songs he would recruit, so as not to overwhelm the host.

In addition to powerful private songs, the armed forces that exist in the countryside are also bandits.

Some of these bandits were refugees who had lost their land and went bankrupt, some were rebels with a disorganized establishment, and some were border beards who had moved inland but had not been properly settled. They had no property and a stable living environment, so they could only wander around and plunder to make a living.

There are not many of these armed forces, even in the city of Huazhou, and there is a circle of thieves' dens around Chang'an, which has brought a great burden to local security.But if it is said that they are vicious and vicious by nature, it is not always the case, and many of them are indeed forced by livelihood.

Recruiting bandits for reorganization is also an important way to expand the army.They all lick blood on the edge of a knife to make a living, and sometimes the boundary between soldiers and bandits is not clear and clear.

It's just that although Li Tai can't talk about moral cleanliness, he still has certain requirements for himself after all, and he doesn't want his subordinates to be all predatory desperadoes. There must be requirements in terms of military discipline.Bandits can be recruited, but if they are not domesticated, they can only be regarded as military exploits.

In fact, what he hopes to recruit the most are those children from rural households.

However, there is also a problem with the operation of this matter, that is, the Metropolitan Water Administration is not an official local administrative government, that is, it has neither the information of registered civilian households nor the qualifications for civil service.

Although the Metropolitan Administrative Office does not have account information, Qumeng does.Not only the Qu League, but also more detailed than what the government has.

In the area where the Longshou Canal flows, those with land from households need to transport grain to repair the canal, and the poor need to hire their own labor to replace it. This is the village law established by Li Tai at the place where the Longshou Canal was started.

The government can control only Juntian households, but Qumeng has not only Juntian households, but also shade households, tenants, etc. As long as there are fields on both sides of the canal, Qumeng has all the household registration information.

Li Tai ordered the Metropolitan Water Administration to allocate [-] bolts of silk to Qumeng to reward him for his efforts to build the canal with people's power, and to take back part of the management rights of Longshou Canal, mainly for the use of commissions.It's not that he wants to become a soldier, as long as he obtains this qualification, he can calmly choose the courage of the villagers.

Qumeng used the [-] bolts of silk to buy property and expand production, and used its profits to bear the rent adjustment of these servant households, reducing their family burden.

The Metropolitan Administrative Office does not have the power to conscript civilians, nor does Li Tai have the qualifications to organize military households, but through the handover of the administrative office and the Qumeng Township Law, it is possible to directly bypass the restrictions of the local government and obtain a relatively stable manpower.

With the gradual expansion of Luoshui canal construction, the canal alliance will continue to expand, and the source of civilian soldiers controlled by Li Tai will gradually increase.One day, Lu's neighing will resound on both sides of the Luoshui River, straight into the Guanzhong Plain!

But sometimes, people really can't be too proud.Driven by a beautiful vision, Li Tai is full of energy every day, and when he sleeps and dreams at night, he always has a smile on his mouth.

A few days later, a piece of news from the north made him feel bad.
