Northern Dynasties

Of course Li Tai didn't have the time to hunt tigers to collect tiger skins for Dugu Xin, he just ordered this matter to go on and let the family members visit the market to buy it, and we'll talk about when it's all bought.

Before he had time to leave the city and return to his hometown, he received a summons from the Taifu for instructions, so he didn't dare to neglect and hurried to the Taifu.

Outside the Taifu hall, there are still many internal and external officials queuing up to play. Although Daxingtai has not returned from inspecting the river defense, there are still Su Chuo and others staying in the Taifu and not missing their work.

Because Li Tai was specially summoned by Su Chuo, there was no need to wait in line honestly.But when passing the line, he saw Yu Lao Er standing in the middle of the line at a glance, and he was a little curious, stepped forward to say hello and asked, "Er Lang is already in charge of the mansion?"

As the newly promoted son-in-law of the Yuwen family, although Yu Yi is not very old, his current official title is quite impressive. Xie Brown was appointed as a regular servant on horseback and the founding county magistrate, which was much higher than Li Tai's official position when he first entered the Western Wei Dynasty.

Even now, Li Tai's title is only Luo Chuanzi, which is several levels behind the second child. It can be seen that being Yu Wentai's son-in-law is also very beneficial.

But it is nothing more than a high official rank, it is just a privilege, but an official in the Taiwan government has to be responsible for specific and practical affairs.

Although Yu Er is married, he is just a big boy. Even if Yu Wentai wants to cultivate and reuse his son-in-law, Yu Er's wedding and honeymoon are not over yet, so it is a bit too hasty to arrest him to Taiwan to clock in for work. .

Yu Yi bowed to Li Tai first, and then showed a bit of bitterness on his face: "It's just stubborn and stupid, it's not enough, it's just a study in the government office, and Shuichi Gong is kind to ask me, and I come here every day to explain what I have learned."

Li Tai was immediately happy when he heard this, feeling that his cousin Yu Wenhu set the rules for his new son-in-law.This guy talks about whether he is big or small in the household, and he only has to listen to his uncles and brothers for training, so he shouldn't beat these new son-in-laws to find some psychological balance for himself.

He patted the second child's shoulder sympathetically, and then walked into the straight hall under the guidance of the audience.

Su Chuo sat on the table in the straight hall, but he was sickly and pale.He was in court a few months ago, and he fell ill from overwork. He was newly infected with the current epidemic disease. He was recuperating at home. He couldn't even attend the previous wedding. The Taiwan government stayed behind.

Seeing Su Chuo's sickness, Li Tai couldn't help admonishing him: "Although state affairs are important, they need to be maintained for a long time. The style of the Shangshu is not good, so why bother to take care of things, rest properly, and then repay the favor. That's the right plan!"

After Su Chuo heard the words, he just smiled and didn't say much about himself. He motioned for Li Taijin to come and do it. He handed down a government order document and said, "This autumn's grand parade has been set, and it's still in Baishui. Last year The Water Administration is just a start-up, and its assistance is still shallow. But this year, Boshan’s achievements in governance have been remarkable, and he should take his own responsibility and take it on.”

Li Tai was not in a hurry to express his opinion. After receiving the order, he glanced at the tasks assigned to him by the Taiwan government, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Last year, Yu Wentai made a fortune, but this year it is almost in a hurry, so he played the old style again, and beat the subordinates.

...

Hearing that the grand parade was still being held in Baishui, Li Tai felt something was wrong. Look at the size of the domestic and foreign armies that he saw this year compared to last year. It is estimated that there are more than [-] people in the Chinese army and state and county officers and horses who have no specific combat missions.

As the governor of the three defense cities, Li Tai also leads an army for reference.According to the battalion standard for the reorganization of the Sixth Army this year, there are about [-] soldiers, and there are about [-] soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers.

It is worth noting that the troops under Li Tai did not belong to the prefectures and counties, but belonged to the Sixth Army Biequ.In other words, when the next step is to expand the Bafu Central Army based on the Sixth Army, Li Tai's troops will be recruited in a higher order.

According to the standard of Kaifu leading the army alone in the military establishment of the future government, then Li Tai's status in the military establishment of the Bafu can be compared to that of Kaifu.Of course, it will take several years for this establishment structure to be formed, and there will inevitably be ups and downs in the process. It is hard to say what the final result will be.

But in any case, the improvement of Li Tai's status in the military structure of the Bafu is obvious.In the ninth year of Datong's reference, he just played a game of soy sauce as Gao Zhongmi's bodyguard.In the tenth year of Datong, he was taken out for a slide, and strictly speaking, he did not count as participating in the parade.

But this year, he was qualified to lead an army alone and became an official referee general.Even if there is no significant improvement in the position from then on, but only to maintain the current level, when the military formation of the government is formally formed, the [-]th Army of the Kaifu has a great chance to occupy a seat.

It's really annoying that the boss Yu Wentai scours his subordinates, but he also has to say that he is really good to Li Tai.This time alone, his troops were organized into the Sixth Army's farewell song, which saved him a lot of trouble in traveling from state to county.

He is a new member of the army, and according to the standards of the Sixth Army, he is far from qualified to be an expansion reserve.Looking at this list of referees, many senior town generals are ranked behind him, which shows that Li Tai really enjoyed the preferential treatment.

Of course, this is also because the defense area under Li Tai's command is too broad to be assigned to any state or county. In terms of power, it is also directly managed by the Tyrant Mansion. This arrangement is also reasonable and appropriate, but the sequence is advanced.According to normal standards and procedures, I am afraid that it will take at least one or two years before it can be officially compiled and referenced.

But Li Tai's gratitude to Yuwentai doesn't stop there, dipping shit in sugar is the basic operation of this guy.Although preferential treatment was given to the establishment of the troops, the preparatory tasks entrusted to the Metropolitan Water Administration were also extremely heavy.

Although the number of people participating in the parade this year has been greatly reduced, the process has been expanded several times, especially after the Baishui parade is over, a large army will be dispatched to Xishou Qiyang.

Baishui is located on the northeast edge of the Guanzhong Plain in the middle of the Luoshui River, and Qiyang is located in the west of the Guanzhong Plain. The distance between them is nearly a thousand miles away, which is equivalent to crossing the Guanzhong Plain on the north bank of the Weishui River. The intensity of the march is not inferior to that from Chang'an all the way to Luoyang!
In the ninth year of Datong, only field hunting was done near Jingyuan, and in the tenth year of Datong, there was no field hunting at all, but this year, the tasks increased sharply, and nearly a thousand miles of hunting and marching were arranged.

It can be seen that Yu Wentai is really a little drifting, and he can't wait to fully review the overall results of the army over the past two years after the Battle of Mangshan.

...

Although it was just marching in Guanzhong, the movement of so many people and horses was also a large-scale team building task. Those who could maintain the military appearance and stay in the army from beginning to end could be regarded as successfully completing the task.

For such a hunting mission, even if there is no specific combat mission, the most basic expenses such as people eating horse chews are a heavy burden.

Last year, the Metropolitan Water Administration was just a small yamen to pick up missing things, but this year it has become one of the most important preparatory units. The importance of this task list is second only to Huazhou, Yongzhou and other big states. The number of chariots and horses that need to be prepared is tens of thousands, and the figures issued for supplies such as food and silk seem to be more like a joke.

Li Tai looked at the book order and just remained silent. Su Chuo was probably a little embarrassed, and then said with a dry smile: "Although the task is heavy, it does not insist on completing it all at once. From then on, there are still nearly two months." Time, Boshan's reputation for good deeds is well known inside and outside, I believe you will be able to properly manage the matter!"

Hearing this praise, Li Tai was not happy at all, not complaining, but said helplessly: "Shang Shu is sick and difficult, it is touching, and I should share some labor for Shang Shu when it comes to things. Don't dare to complain.

But after all, the Metropolitan Water Administration is not a proper job for the people. All the regulations are in the prefectures and counties. The ditches and ponds are too shallow. Even if the storage is full, how much can you get?My negligence alone is small, but if I fail to achieve great results, and the group does not see the merits, I will be ashamed and ashamed to stand in the world! "

"You can't say that. Boshan's achievements are obvious to all, and no one dares to underestimate you. It is because of Boshan's management that the people in the mansion know that it is credible to make money from flowing water. Luoshui is already the first class. In the case of Dushui, it will be even more profitable. My lord and I have also discussed this matter, but because it involves a wide range of issues, there has not been an order yet. But if this year's grand reading can be properly prepared, this matter will surely become a court discussion at the beginning of the new year's court meeting focus!"

Su Chuo saw that pure praise was not enough, so he started drawing cakes again.

But Li Tai didn't care about it at all, let alone the Weishui and Jingshui, if you assign the Yellow River to me, I can't handle it!The reason why the Weishui River is locked is because there are very few strong clans in the basin, and there is a barren land in northern Shaanxi for development.

Even if the Wei River is under my control, how dare I confiscate the Chang'an Palace?The land in the original circle of Longshou has not yet been fully developed!

"Thank you, my lord, and thank you for your appreciation, but since I have been ordered, I should be truthful and dare not boast. If things are cut in half, although it is still reluctant, but the humble position is difficult, and I guarantee that I can do it before the big reading Ready!"

Li Tai neither wanted to chew on the cake drawn by Su Chuo, nor could he eat it, but he did need such a task of frequent material delivery to cover up his various operations of stealing and enriching his own pockets, so he thought about it for a while , just said a standard that I can accept.

"It's okay to cut it in half?"

After Su Chuo heard this, instead of being disappointed, he stared in surprise and asked.

Seeing his expression like this, Li Tai cursed secretly in his heart, damn it, the bargaining price is even higher!

But the words have already been said, but it is not easy to talk back, so he said in a muffled voice with resentment: "Of course there are difficulties, try your best, even if you can't make the most of it, try to keep the difference as small as possible."

"That's fine, that's fine! Hey, who doesn't have a hard time? After all, it's still Boshan, who dispelled a big block in my chest."

Su Chuo laughed again after hearing the words, Li Tai felt even more upset when he heard this. You guys want to make a big scene, but you come to cheat me by asking for a lot of money. I see you don't want to accept my silk money!
But looking at Su Chuo's haggard and sick state, he couldn't bear it after all. Before leaving, he asked Su Chuo when he was going to have a rest and was going to take some of He Basheng's leftover medicine from last year to visit.Judging by the intensity of his work, he may not be able to benefit greatly, but he is still doing his best.
