Northern Dynasties

Chapter 237
With Yu Wenhu's guidance, after a batch of materials from Beizhou was escorted back, Li Tai ordered Li Zhusheng and other trusted family members to lead each of them to the nearby rich states and counties to trade and buy materials, as the acquisition of high-quality properties of the Metropolitan Water Administration Capital.

He is not worried about whether his operation will harm the interests of the country for the latecomers to follow suit, because the background of the current era is extremely special, and it is not easy to compare it with future generations.

First of all, in the Middle Ages when productivity was still very low, land was the most important means of production, and land annexation has always been the number one issue throughout the dynasty.

Generally, those with power and influence must first acquire land.Even if there is no Li Taijiao, they will do it, otherwise Kansai would not be full of local tyrants.

Under this feudal background, the strengthening of any system can only alleviate the problem of land annexation to a certain extent, but cannot completely eliminate it.If we want to completely solve the problem of land annexation, we can only rely on the development of productivity, and it is difficult to see great success by any other means.

Secondly, the current Western Wei court is not a normal state of government. Li Tai's Dushui envoy is nominally a court official, but in fact he only needs to be responsible to the overlord.

As long as it can help the Tyrant Mansion raise enough money, food and materials for major expenses, any method is worth trying, and there is no need to delve into it.

If it is a normal dynastic politics, the divisions will check and balance each other, and the upper and lower levels will be governed in an orderly manner.If he dared to do this, at least he would not be able to pass the hurdle of Shang Shusheng, and he would be constantly criticized by the officials.

But now, as long as he can get money for Daxingtai, he is a capable official.For Yu Wentai, the survival and development of the regime is the number one issue, and he will not scrutinize the pockets of his subordinates.

Of course, when the living environment of the regime stabilizes in the coming year, there will be a wave of purges if the guarantees are not complete, and I have to spit out how much I have taken.Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was in Yecheng, and that's what he was doing. He had a red face and a bad face with his father, and they cooperated very well.

So what Li Tai has to do now is to seize the opportunity to strengthen himself as much as possible, and strive to have the strength of "you want my money and I want your life" when the day comes in the future. Don't be too demanding of yourself.

Anyway, no matter how loyal and selfless he is to the monarch and the country, it is impossible for the Yuwen family to hand over the world.Try all kinds of ways to accumulate experience, and when you are in the next year, you can also block these showy operation spaces more comprehensively.

At the beginning, the subordinates of the administrative office were emotionally unacceptable, but after the first transaction was completed, seeing a large amount of materials entering the warehouse, they all looked away.

In the final analysis, people still have to focus on the present. Only when the current situation can be stabilized will there be more room for development.

The form of the confrontation between the two Weis has always been that the east is strong and the west is weak. Especially after the Battle of Mangshan, no one dared to say lightly that the west dynasty will be better than the east dynasty in the future. Maybe one day the army of the east dynasty will drink horses again. Luoshui.

Li Tai is willing to spend a lot of money to buy out the long-term benefits of the aquatic industry in the next few years, which can even be said to be a single-minded act of loyalty.There are many people in Kansai who have more capital than him, but not many are willing to invest such a large amount of money.Others are afraid that I will increase my position. If he can't make a lot of money, it's simply unreasonable.

Of course, he can't openly come forward to conduct property transactions by himself. After all, he has to avoid suspicion a little bit, and use the medium of the Qumeng League to integrate more rural conditions with him.

With this kind of operation with huge profits in a short period of time, it is no longer a problem to meet the big offerings.After the busy inventory in the first few days, the atmosphere in the administrative office has gradually returned to normal, and all the subordinates are also in the mood to enjoy life after work.

On this day, Cui Yansheng mysteriously came to Li Tai and invited him to visit Duguxin Manor in Shangyuan.

When Li Tai received this invitation, he couldn't help thinking of many things.

The last time he visited Dugu Xin, Dugu Xin had already hinted a lot, but then he made a nonsensical request for ten tiger skins, but tiger skins are not cloth after all, and his family has not visited to buy enough, and he is busy with handling cases Things happened, so I never visited again.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, Dugu Xin has to go to Long after calculating the time.After all, the situation on Longyou's side is not stable, so they can't wait for half a year with a wedding banquet.

Although Cui Yansheng sent the invitation in his personal name, since the location was chosen in Duguxin Manor, it must be the benefit of Duguxin.Probably because he wanted to reveal his intentions more straightforwardly before leaving, and even make some agreements directly.

But Duguxin was arrogant and hypocritical, he couldn't hold back anymore, but he still had to put on a posture and ask his wife and relatives to come forward to invite him, which was really a bit funny.

People have to pay attention to the scale when interacting with people. The most important thing is to see through and not tell the truth. Thinking that they may have to get along with each other for a long time in the future, Li Tai also took good care of Duguxin's self-esteem, and only expressed to Cui Yansheng that he would definitely go to the appointment on time.

At present, the affairs of the administrative office are basically just waiting for the money, food and materials to be in place, and there is no need for Li Tai to watch here every day, so the day before the appointment, he returned to Shangyuan Village to make some preparations.

Duguxin believes that this guy has a good manner, and he is also a handsome dog.Li Tai is also very confident in his appearance, but it doesn't hinder further finishing, at least he has to show that he attaches great importance to this matter.

So after returning home, he also picked out all his robes and tried them on one by one to see which one was the most beautiful and decent.

Several Feng and Li Ya, who came back from school in the evening, saw Li Tai's flirtatious appearance and frequently tried on the robes, so they were naturally very curious. They were also very excited when they learned that Li Tai was going to be a guest at Dugu Xinzhuang. , standing aside to advise Li Tai.

Several phoenixes have their own aesthetics, looking at Li Tai's moon-white robes, he shook his head repeatedly: "Brother, you have been hanging around in Beizhou for half a year, and you are no longer as white as in previous years. The red robe is the best!"

Hearing that this kid recommended his favorite color, Li Tai just sneered, what aesthetics do you have, a red-skinned shrimp?
But he still pulled out a red hakama pleat and put it on his body, turned to Li Ya and asked, "Is this more impressive than before?"

Li Ya nodded repeatedly: "When will the owner be unattractive? How can he be unattractive? Who says it is not beautiful, I will beat him to death!"

After Li Tai heard the words, he felt even more speechless, he raised his hand and drove the two boys out of the door, and closed the door himself to compare and tidy up.

Not to mention Li Tai's excitement here, Dugu Xin's house in Huazhou City was also busy.

Duguxin's wife, Cui Shi, coaxed the infant daughter to sleep, then walked into the inner hall, and greeted her father Cui Yanzhen and uncle Cui Yanmu who had been waiting for a while, and then smiled again: "The family has already passed away. Living in Kansai, it is also necessary to carefully consider the marriage of children. Although I am already a bride from another family, I should also worry about my younger siblings in the old household. The third lady is in her early thirteens and will be fourteen, right? It's time to accept the appointment."

Cui Yanmu in the banquet smiled and nodded after hearing the words: "Young lady has a heart, and it is true. In fact, in the past two years, sometimes people came to visit the house, but although the little girl is not considered a treasure, she is still a woman who was carefully raised by the family. The people in Kansai are no more prosperous than Dongzhou, but it is difficult to get what you want. It is rare to have a good choice, and the families are arguing about it, and I am not far behind, so I came to ask the lady to come forward and help the momentum."

"Although I don't often go out to socialize, I have heard a lot about Li Boshan's reputation. He visited several times. Although he was not seen, the husband did not hesitate to praise him. It must be a famous person. It is indeed a great joy for the family if you can invite a handsome and talented young man who has all the facts."

Mrs. Cui also nodded and said, and then sighed regretfully: "Uncle, since you have this intention, you should have informed me earlier. A few days ago, this member came to visit my home, and we had a very happy conversation. Unfortunately, my husband was seeing you more and more the day before yesterday. I bid farewell to Daxingtai, but I am not here today. After all, I am just a woman, although I can have a table, but it is not good to ask questions."

After Cui Yanmu heard the words, he sighed: "I was also wronged by Zheng Xiaomu. He had intended to marry the Li family but was rejected by Li Boxan. He only said that this son was young and full of energy. I'm afraid he was not easy to get along with. Slightly moved, but still a little hesitant. But I also heard that Zheng Xiaomu is still visiting me endlessly, so it can be seen that the preface lied to me. I really don’t want to miss the good match, whether it makes it or not, let’s give it a try.”

The family discussed the details of the blind date at the village tomorrow, and the two brothers got up to say goodbye, and agreed to go to the village early tomorrow morning to prepare.

Mrs. Cui was also very concerned about her mother's family affairs. After seeing off her parents, she immediately led her family to the village manor to tidy up. By the way, she summoned a few servants who had served in the hall when Li Tai came to visit, and asked the young man carefully. How is the character.

"That's right, Miaoyin was a guest at Li Bo's villa for a few days when she succeeded Grand Master He Ba, so she should be familiar with it."

Thinking of this, Cui quickly ordered: "Go to the neighbor's house quickly and invite the lady back!"

Not long after, the little lady was introduced by her family. Although she was only wearing a plain skirt, she was in a good mood, and she looked cheerful, pretty and lovely.

"Why did my mother call me?"

After entering the hall and sitting down, Mrs. Miaoyin asked with a smile.

Mrs. Cui also smiled and said: "A few days ago, you also said that since the filial piety has been released, the lady's daily life can also be lifted a little bit, and don't always stay in the inner hall and be sad. It happened that my mother's family had something to go to the village. Do it online, would you like to go with me?"

"I want to go to the village, which village? Is it the east-facing village of Li Boshan's family in Shangyuan? I am willing!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Miaoyin immediately expressed joy and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing her impatient look, Mrs. Cui felt that the lady was really bored after living in seclusion for so long, so she smiled and said: "It's fine to go, but remember not to indulge your words and deeds. After all, you are still here During the ceremony, although the family members are considerate, they still have to avoid outsiders' detection. I did have something to ask you, so I had the courage to indulge once. Then Li Boshan, you are familiar with it?"

When Mrs. Miaoyin heard this question, she was secretly delighted and shy, she lowered her head and said coyly: "Who are you familiar with? This person is so bad that he doesn't come here..."

"Don't gossip about people behind their backs, maybe in the future they will be relatives who will keep in touch with each other for a long time!"

The little lady was even more ashamed when she heard her stepmother's words, but the next sentence made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "This time when I enter the country, I have to watch people and talk about things. If everything goes well, I will meet you in the next year. Call him uncle!"
