Northern Dynasties

Chapter 246 Revisiting Li Hu
Dugu Xin didn't know that the mother and daughter were talking in the backyard. While chatting with Li Tai, he was still thinking about how to strengthen his influence and control over Li Tai.

He didn't have a strong desire to control, and felt that everyone had to be a pawn in his hand and let him arrange it, but for Li Tai, he really had a very strong desire to manipulate.

It can't be said to be a manipulation, it should be a kind of appreciation and expectation with a strong sense of substitution.

As a descendant of a wealthy chieftain in Wuchuan Town, and now a powerful Fang Bo of the Western Dynasty, Dugu Xin's life is not unsuccessful, but it does not mean that it is complete and full of regrets.

The background is not noble enough, the grasp of the current situation is not precise enough when young, the support of the nobles is lacking at critical moments, and many opportunities have been missed. These should be the emotions that many successful and famous people often feel when they look back on the past, and sometimes I can't help fantasizing, if I could do it all over again...

Duguxin's appreciation for Li Tai is actually mixed with such emotions. He sincerely recognizes the young man's demeanor and ability, and he has a more real and strong expectation. The ambition is pinned on Li Tai, and I hope he can follow his own wishes and under the guidance of his own experience, avoid detours and achieve higher achievements.

Such intentions are not bad at all.For some people who have little ideas and plans, the advice and arrangements all the way can indeed bring great help to life.

After some conversations, Li Tai also clearly felt the strength of Duguxin, and he didn't say whether he was against it, but felt that although the relationship between them was getting closer, the mode of getting along still needs to be discussed and adjusted.

Therefore, Li Tai did not refute and give a clear answer to the incompleteness of his plan pointed out by Dugu Xin. decision.

He doesn't feel that his business plan for Beizhou is useless and lacks much room for development. Among other things, the personnel resources he has now are real.It's just that how to hold it in your own hands for a long time and stably, and seek more room for development is indeed a problem that needs to be faced squarely.

"I know that you will be attending the ceremony this autumn, but I will be leaving soon, and I have no time to observe the demeanor of the younger generation, and I will help the momentum elsewhere."

Dugu Xin is not a person who is full of big talk and stingy when it comes to reality. After discussing the current situation with Li Tai, he brought the topic back to the present, and said with a half-truth and half-fake joke: "Boshan, you Today's reputation is considered excellent among the peers, but when it comes to starting a family and conferring a wife and son, it is still inferior to those who have gone before. I am close to my family, and I don't have much luck and evil ways to help you sit Da Gongqing, but I will definitely try my best to help you enjoy more convenience in the matter."

Hearing this, Li Tai's spirits lifted immediately, this is what he was looking forward to!In today's world, who is not active and enterprising?Three hundred and sixty lines, every line will be the champion, and Lou Zhaojun in the east is the empress dowager X. If you don't work hard if you wish, how can you compete for the best old man?
Ren Yu's second child became Yu Wentai's son-in-law, and he was directly full of vanity.I don't like those vanity now, I still need something more practical.

"Great read and lecture on martial arts, what you see is nothing but people, horses, staffs, walking and walking. Boshan, you gathered a lot of village warriors along the Luoshui River, and the soldiers you commanded are the envy of many veterans and veterans. As long as you can Proper order and proper operation will surely become a strong team in time!"

When Duguxin talked about this issue, he looked at Li Tai with envious eyes. This kid really has his own way of developing and controlling the situation of the countryside. In just over a year, he has become one with the people in the village.

Duguxin is not optimistic about Li Tai's management in northern Shaanxi, but he does not hesitate to praise his rural management, which is one of the reasons why he appreciates and values ​​Li Tai so much.

Although up to now, their Beizhen warriors still control the military power of the entire Western Dynasty, but their control is gradually weakening.

Even without the huge attrition of successive battles, Beizhen Wuren lived in Kansai, and the replenishment of soldiers was a big problem.

Dugu Xin was one of the leaders of the Beizhen army who realized this problem earlier, so whenever he visited a place, he paid more attention to the interaction with the local tycoons, and absorbed many tycoons into his team.

But he still can't go beyond those rural tyrants and directly exert influence on the masses. Once he has no relationship with the tyrants, and although he still retains a certain amount of personal friendship, he still can't control those rural forces.

But Li Tai is not the case. His influence and appeal to the village can be directly sent to the village without the help of those powerful men in the village as a medium.In other words, he himself is the biggest tyrant in the village, and those native tyrants who used to exist in the village now need the party to be under his wing in order to maintain their status and interests in the order of the village.

Even Dugu Xin admired Li Tai's ability to take root.

Therefore, he felt that Li Taida did not need to devote his time and energy to Beizhou, which was of little value. Based on this nostalgic foundation, he could develop within the six armies of the Taiwan government with peace of mind, and use the Taiwan government to recruit Han people to serve as the army. The general trend, potential and influence will become deeply rooted.

But Duguxin also knows it but doesn't know why. He only knows that Li Taixiang is profound, but he doesn't know why it is so profound.It was the events in Beizhou that he was not optimistic about that gave Li Tai the ability to adjust and control the order of the rural situation.

Perhaps Li Tai's business investment in northern Shaanxi did not conform to the overall strategic vision of the Bafu, but it met the needs of a large number of small and medium-sized military meritorious landlords to increase production, purchase properties, and gain economic status after the rise of the Fubing system.

After admiring Li Tai's advantage, Dugu Xin said again: "Without a sword, you can't compete bravely. How can you call yourself a soldier without armor? Although you have many soldiers in Boshan, when it comes to the use of armor, it should be Quite scarce, right?"

Li Tai nodded quickly after hearing the words. He has been worrying about this matter for a long time. Although he has been studying production by himself, the technological progress cannot be achieved overnight.Up to now, this problem has become an obvious short board disadvantage for him.

"I'm currently in the town of Longbian. Although I have an arsenal, it is for the country's use and cannot be given to you privately. Boshan, you have to grow an army in order to gain momentum. All the armor and weapons consumed should be self-sufficient. , Don't rely on others for a long time!"

Supporting the self-respect of soldiers and smelting swords and armor are not taboo topics nowadays. When the father-in-law taught his son-in-law his experience, he did not hide it: "The old year was in the court. Wei, all the people in Liufang are armed with messy and trivial things. At that time, Chang'an was in a state of depression and everything was not going well. In order not to miss the affairs of the guards, many needs had to be purchased from the people..."

While listening carefully, Li Tai secretly sighed and said that it must be you, and it must be you who play bigger.

But the literal meaning of this statement is a bit pointless. The fact should be that when Duguxin was the leading general, he took advantage of his position to mess up all the weapons and armaments of the Liufang Imperial Army, and packaged everyone or everything into private property , the so-called folk should be equivalent to my family.

Dugu Xin talked about this old story, of course not to show off how good he was at playing, and continued: "Nowadays, the supplies of Liufang people are transferred to other places, but the old casting work is still maintained. But I will go to the town immediately. If you don’t have time for interrogation, then entrust the matter to Li Wenbin, Duke of Longxi, to take care of it for you. If you are not tired of being busy and tiring with chores, Boshan, you can take this personnel back from Li Wenbin, and you will supervise it and be responsible for your own profits and losses.”

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, he stood up, cupped his hands and bowed deeply, nodded repeatedly and said, "How can you bother others with housework for a long time! The Duke of Longxi has a lot of affairs, I didn't know about it before, now that I know it , of course it is incumbent!"

It turns out that the treatment is different when you become your own family. Although Duguxin gave a lot of weapons as gifts before, but he can still calculate a set, but now he directly wants to give a weapon workshop, which can be described as a great gift.

Seeing his impatient look, Dugu Xin laughed again and said: "In this case, after you return, you can deal with the family affairs and cases, and go to Chang'an with me in the near future. When you see Li Wenbin, take Make this matter clear."

"Understood, understood, we must not miss the travel date."

Li Tai quickly assured again that nothing should delay this matter.

After a short pause, Dugu Xin frowned slightly again, looked at Li Tai and said with some displeasure: "I almost forgot, it's still a little inappropriate to meet like this. I have to send a book to ask Li Wenbin if he would like to see him." You, you offended him before, and you dared to come to the door without apologizing, if you are rejected, the gap will inevitably deepen."

"Kaifu is talking about the two breaths of the former Tai Tuo? Although this matter is not harmonious, it has already..."

Li Tai thought that Duguxin was talking about the story of the brothers He Ba and Jingwei, and after hearing the words, he quickly said that Li Tai had been patient at that time, and if Li Hu was still brooding, he would be a little too petty.

After Dugu Xin heard the words, he gave him a blank look, waved his hand and said: "It's not about this, there is something else. You made him very embarrassed and annoyed, but you didn't even know about it. It can be seen that you haven't made any explanations, or I have to repair a book and make a solemn apology!"

Li Tai was a little confused when he heard this. Since the incident last time, he hadn't seen Li Hu again, so he really couldn't think of how he could offend him.Hearing what Duguxin said, the matter seems to be quite serious, but he really can't figure it out. From last year to now, the only thing that has something to do with Li Hu is probably killing a tiger with his own hands.

This offends people without knowing it. Why are you Beizhen soldiers so angry?
