Northern Dynasties

Chapter 37
In Shishiwubi in Shangyuan, guests gathered and traffic was busy, and the congratulatory team of horses and horses even filled the gully between the platform and plateau for a while.

At the banquet in Wubi Zhongtang, Shi Gonggao, who was newly appointed as the governor of the county and township regiment, sat at the head seat, with a complacent expression on his face.

"The locality has been in chaos for a long time. Although there was a Daxingtai to treat the people, and the villagers also lined up to defend the country, but there was no righteous leader in the township. Wu Xun has been careless. Fortunately, today, Daxing Taicha gave the strong righteousness, appreciated the history, and let my local righteousness and courage be returned to the command of the envoy. From then on, the rural situation is harmonious, the country is guarded and the country is served, and the feudalism is all in sight!"

Hearing this praise from a guest, Shi Gong also stood up from the table, bowed deeply to the direction of Huazhou City, and laughed loudly after getting up: "Shi is not talented, but I can only lift him up and down to make me ambitious." Yang Shen, report to your father, and caress the folks. From then on, go forward and retreat with all the folks, and reverberate the voice of my country, it is my duty!"

All the guests in the hall applauded when they heard this.

Shi Jing, whose head and face were still bruised, also stood up from the banquet, holding a glass of wine and grinning: "Today is indeed a time of great joy for my family, but it is not a joy for everyone, and it is not called a joy. There were evil guests who came to the country before, and they made people feel happy. The treachery in the village has made my fellow villagers restless. Today, I am overjoyed, and I ask the governor to lead someone to the village to catch him, not only to congratulate the governor, but also to settle a matter for the villagers and disciples!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone present knew who the words were, and their moods became complicated. They were not in a hurry to speak out, but just looked at the Shi family brothers.

"In that case, then you go. Tell that gentleman, I am not a narrow-minded person. If he sincerely comes to congratulate me, I will treat him at my own table. If you still refuse to be kind, don't embarrass him. In the future The township chief always has a time when he feels the righteousness of my township!"

Shi Gong waved his hands generously and said with a smile, he turned to drink with others again.

It was a hard day for Shi Jing to wait, and after his elder brother agreed, he laughed out loud, gathered dozens of servants in the dock, and headed all the way to Li Tai Manor.

In the manor, Li Taichou sat in the middle hall, and when he heard that Shi Jing led the crowd to come and yelled at the gate of the manor to let him out quickly, he became more irritable, waved his hands and said: "No see! If he dares to make trouble again, Kill them directly!"

Not long after Zheng Man reported the letter, Zhou Changming was also recruited away by the Daxingtai envoy from his hometown, presumably for consultation and transfer to other places.Fearing that the historians' brothers would come to provoke him, Zhou Changming arranged the guards here to guard the village before leaving. Li Tai was naturally not afraid of Shi Jing who came to harass him.

But this is obviously not a long-term solution. Since Shi Gong has taken office as the county governor, these township armed forces in the county, including Shangyang Garrison, should also be ruled by him.

It's better for the county magistrate to take care of it now. If he sends people to harass him every day, the life and production of Li Tai's manor will be greatly affected.

"It doesn't make sense! Why did this Shi Gong become the governor of the county?"

In addition to being troubled, Li Tai was also very puzzled, unable to figure out why things turned out like this.

The reason why he unequivocally supported Zhou Changming was not only because of the friendship between them, but also because of his observation and perception of the implementation of Yuwentai's policy.

When he was still in Tongguan, he wrote a letter about recruiting Guan Longhaoyou into the army. This was the policy that Yuwentai would implement next, but he was not appreciated and employed by Yuwentai.

Afterwards, Li Tai thought about it in combination with Yu Wentai's step-by-step measures, and gradually realized that his remarks were still a bit radical.

The great affairs of the country are enshrined in Rong, and the army is the foundation on which the hegemonic government of the Western Wei Dynasty was established.Therefore, Yu Wentai will inevitably be cautious about various reform measures related to the army.

Although recruiting Guan Longhao to the right is already a choice that has to be made in the development of the situation, Yu Wentai still strives to hold the initiative in his own hands and promote it step by step.

Where the specific steps are, it is only in his mind. Besides, anyone's suggestions and suggestions may seem to him to have ulterior motives.

Recently, Li Tai also put himself into Yu Wentai's perspective to consider. He just felt that this road is not easy to walk, and a little carelessness may lead to catastrophe. Therefore, this process must be accompanied by various trade-offs and temptations. It is inevitable that there will be hesitation and hesitation, and when the situation is not good, stop immediately.

If you want to firmly grasp this initiative, you must strictly control the process of things.

First attract some wealthy but weak tyrants to the ruling group, that is, to implement the reward system.

As a result, the court of the Western Wei Dynasty gained people and things, especially with a large amount of material reserves in hand, so that it could orderly regulate the prices of goods and people's livelihood in Kansai, and raise prices to a certain extent, thereby increasing the cost of supporting the trilogy by the powerful and supporting the next step. Lay a physical foundation and reduce drag.

If you follow this line of thinking, then the local tyrants with many parts will not be the first batch of targets for selection.Especially in the core area controlled by the Tyrant Mansion, the powerful forces in the village will not rashly let the elite troops be in charge.

The historian is a well-known local tyrant in Wuxiang County, and he owns a lot of trilogy and land.Once you have the power of the township soldiers again, it will take more energy to control them.

As the headquarters of Yuwentai's hegemony, Huazhou has more than one armed force. A large number of Beizhen military leaders are given pastoral land here to support their trilogy. It is inevitable that there will be nostalgic friction with the local tycoons.If local tyrants are allowed to lead the township regiment, the conflict will undoubtedly become more complicated.

Zhou Changming, chosen by Li Tai, is not the case. He is not a rich man in the village. He has served as the garrison of the village for a long time, and his military accomplishment is quite impressive. Only by conferring positions can it establish its authority, which is undoubtedly better for control.

But something went wrong, Shi Gong was appointed as the county governor, but Zhou Changming had to listen to other places.

It would be a joke to say that Yu Wentai needed local tyrants like historians to stabilize the nostalgia in the base camp.

A more reliable explanation should be that the business situation of Huazhou, the base camp, is stable, and the status of a mere county governor is not worthy of Yu Wentai's repeated evaluation, so it is routinely issued.

Li Tai thinks he can guess the deep meaning of Yu Wentai's order, but he is not Yu Wentai after all, what he is facing is the struggle of nostalgia within a hundred miles, but Yu Wentai has to consider the whole Kansai.

A slight negligence in the details is not harmful to Yu Wentai's overall situation, but it is enough to make Li Tai's plans empty and his family restless.

The miscalculation of this matter is not to blame for Li Taimou's ignorance, it is purely unlucky, and drinking water is stuffed between his teeth.His foundation in Kansai is still shallow, and his ability to resist risks is also weak. Any irregular wind and rain may cause floods or droughts.

"Do you want to write another letter to remind me? Or pack up and run?"

Li Tai couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought that he was still joking about these local tyrants' lack of intelligence in He Basheng's mansion a few days ago, and he didn't want to face the dilemma today.

He hasn't been a fool these few months, and he won't run away at will, but if things don't turn around, it's definitely not safe to stay in Shangyuan.

In the past period of time, Shi Helande, the head of the Situ prefect, has already handled the naturalization matters for him, and now he is a serious person from Longshou Township, Bacheng County, Jingzhao County, and he should have tens of acres of land in Longshouyuan as usual.But during this period of time, he was obsessed with fighting in the country and couldn't extricate himself, and he hadn't had time to deal with the matter of land equalization.

If Shangyuan is not enough to live in, transferring to Longshouyuan is also an option.Zhou Changming also stated to him before leaving that if the place of transfer is too far away, he is willing to resign and follow Li Tai.

But it's really not in line with Li Tai's style to just walk in such a despondent manner.Although he didn't say anything, he was also dreaming of usurping the Wei Dynasty and the Lord Lu Huan in his heart. It turned out that he had no ambitions, but was subdued by a local tyrant, which is really a joke!
After pondering for a while, Li Tai decided to try harder in his heart, and let Yu Wentai see how harmful it would be to suddenly select a local tyrant as the commander of the village regiment.

"Bring me a spear, and let the bow and horse go! If the Shi surname Diao Nu still doesn't leave, let them die here today!"

Although he stated to He Basheng before that he would no longer engage in any emotional disputes with others, there was no reason for him to be patient when he was ridiculed in the face.

Li Tai intends to chop off the heads of the historian brothers and then go to Huazhou City to sell them and sue.I have no choice but to kill him, but also to get rid of the evil for you Beizhen army leaders, otherwise your descendants will also be bullied by this village thief in the coming year!
If Yu Wentai wants to punish him severely, then my uncle and I will not attend the parade this autumn. You still want to see my big brother He Liuhun's jokes, and watch your grandma!
With this in mind, Li Tai rode his horse and rushed towards the gate of the manor, just as he saw Shi Jing, who was short and thin and barely visible on horseback, led his slaves to entangle with the guards of the manor. Ping Maqiang rushed straight to the opponent.

"Stop him, stop him! This kid is crazy..."

Seeing this, Shi Jing was startled, pulled his horse and fled to the rear, and yelled at his servants to stop Li Tai and his party who came to kill him aggressively.

The servants of the Shi family came here this time just to vent their anger, never thought that Li Tai would dare to fight out brazenly, they were panicked for a while, a few of them tried to stop them, but they saw the blazing lance stabbing straight in front of them, Immediately, all panicked souls flew out of the sky, or fell off the horseback, or turned their heads to run for their lives.

In front of the gate of the manor, people turned their backs on their backs, and when Li Tai got rid of the entanglement and rushed out, Shi Jing had already galloped for more than a mile.Naturally, he would not let the old boy go, and chased him wildly in the field.

At this moment, another group of knights appeared on the country road in front of them. It was Zhou Changming and his party who had returned from Huazhou City.

Li Quji followed Zhou Changming to Huazhou. At this time, he saw Li Tai chasing Shi Jing aggressively, and immediately rode his horse up. When the two horses passed by, he stretched his long arms and lifted Shi Jing off his mount.

"Aaron, what happened?"

Li Laiji held Shi Jing who was dancing and struggling, and rode his horse to meet Li Tai.

"Stab this old boy to death!"

Li Tai raised the horse spear in his hand, and was about to pierce Shi Jing, while Zhou Changming shouted with joy on his side: "Your Majesty, I am overjoyed! Daxingtai appointed me to be the commander-in-chief of the county!"

!!!

When there was no time to spare, Li Tai's elbow sank, and the sharp edge brushed Shi Jing's shoulder and passed.When he looked again, Shi Jing's hem was already soaked, and urine dripped down the field along his robe.

"Shi Hou is really polite. When you drown, you will drown. Why do you have to suffer so hard to come here to enrich my plowing field?"

Li Taiheng immediately looked at Shi Jing, who was thrown by Li Quji and was stunned on the ground, and laughed.
