Northern Dynasties

Chapter 390
After leaving the Yang family, Li Tai did not continue to stay in Chang'an, but left the city directly with Li Licheng and returned to Longshou Yuanzhuang.

Today, the scale of Longshou Yuanzhuang has expanded, and almost half of the land on the plateau has been included.This is naturally due to Li Xiaoyong's current position as General Jinu's Imperial Army. The Imperial Army is already a bullying presence in the city of Chang'an. Even if it is clear that it is illegal to occupy land, it is basically the people who dare not raise officials and dare not investigate.

On the occupied land, apart from the original manor building, there is also a castle still under construction.Just looking at the scale of the castle, it is no problem to accommodate 5000 people after it is completed.

Li Tai was not already brave and unscrupulous. He dared to build a city directly near Chang'an City to store troops.As for the people living in the city are all his men and horses, there is no way to do it. It is only to blame why the imperial court did not allocate enough soldiers to the Jinu camp.

The soldiers of Longyou who settled here yesterday were all shocked when they learned that this military city also belonged to Li Tai's property.

Although this castle is not as grand as Longyou Sifang City, it is located in the outskirts of Chang'an, Gyeonggi, which is obviously not something ordinary people can own!
When Li Tai conceived this castle before, he didn't have any complete and specific plans. Now that some key personnel matters in Longyou have been smoothed out, it is obvious that this castle is only used as a temporary resting place for the troops stationed and when he enters Beijing. Some waste.

After returning to Longshouyuan, he did not enter the village immediately, but wandered around the plateau again, choosing several locations for the construction of some areas with different functions, making it a personnel distribution center.

Of course, he was only finalizing a general plan, and the specific work still had to be carried out by Li Licheng, Li Xiaoyong and other cronies who stayed in Chang'an.He also left some of the personnel brought back by Longyou here to meet the personnel of Longyou who entered Guanzhong later.

If things in Longbian go well, then by the end of the year at the latest, personnel from Longyou, Hexi, will continue to flow into Guanzhong. Of course, the premise is that the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is trapped in the north of Yubi.

Only when he has done a good job in the support work and the subsequent development of the commercial market, can his layout be fully revitalized, and the relationship with the Longyou tycoons will be closer, and he will become a real alliance of interests.

Li Licheng is now serving as the young minister of the Taifu, and can mobilize a considerable part of the royal garden and palace manufacturing industry resources around Gyeonggi. It can also have a great impetus.

Li Tai originally planned to take advantage of the food in his hands to recruit some exiles around Gyeonggi to dig Weishui River in the second half of the year and build some canals and ponds on Longshouyuan to improve the hydrology and landforms on the plateau.

But after thinking about it, he still decided not to make such a big move for the time being, because it was too conspicuous.Even if you want to use work as relief to relieve the poor and exiles around Gyeonggi, it is best to choose other methods to avoid causing trouble to the upper body as much as possible.

Today's Longshouyuan is also because the natural environment is not superior enough to be valued by the powerful here, so that Li Tai can spare no time to occupy it wantonly. It will inevitably attract all kinds of coveting.

After all, the power and tribal influence he relies on are also possessed by these Jingzhao wealthy families, and they also have the advantage of being a local snake. influence other developments.

After inspecting the plateau, Li Taicai returned to the manor, intending to take a short rest and head back to Huazhou tomorrow.After all, his wealth and power are different now, and every day he stays in one place, the consumption of people eating horse chews is very huge.

Li Licheng's marriage was basically finalized, but nowadays, if it is not a matter of expediency for the rich to discuss marriage under special circumstances, a few months will pass after the various rituals are carried out casually.In addition, since the war will start, at least the end of the year will not be able to get married.

Li Tai naturally didn't have time to help Li Licheng prepare for the wedding, but as their first wedding event in Kansai for the Li family in Longxi, he, the small patriarch of the gold seal appointed by Daxingtai, of course had to express something, so he made no big plans about the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi. A part of the property was put under Li Licheng's name, and he entrusted someone to buy a big house in central Beijing.

Even if their family in Chang'an is not as large and powerful as Hongnong Yang's family dominates, they can't let their brothers get married and live in their father-in-law's house and be looked down upon by others.

By the way, cousin Lu Rou also arranged a farm in the south of Jing, as long as the farming and weaving are not wasteful, they can have food and clothing.Lu Rou is no better than Cui Qian and the others, and his family has always been poor. Now that Li Tai has spare energy, it is also appropriate to help his relatives.

He was still planning to help his cousin here, and then his family reported Lu Rou to visit.After Li Tai heard the words, he got up quickly and went out to greet him. He saw that Lu Rou was not the only visitor, but also a middle-aged man and a young man followed behind him.

"It's a coincidence that my cousin came here. I was missing from the hall, and my elder brother has already entered the house in a blink of an eye."

Li Tai strode forward, looked at Lu Rou and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lu Rou also laughed, waved her hands and said: "What a coincidence, I went to Yang's mansion first but failed to find it, and then followed all the way here."

While speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man who was traveling with him and the young man behind him and said, "You must know Liu Zhongpanliu Canjun, this is his son-in-law Wei Xiaogu Weilang, who is also the new governor of Bingzhou Wei. Make the king's relatives in the family."

The middle-aged man's name is Liu Qiu, who was originally Sima of Dugu Xinzhou Prefecture, and was detained by Yu Wentai when he returned to the country to serve in the government. of.

But after knowing the identity of this young man, Li Tai couldn't help but take a closer look. The relationship between Dugu Xin and Wei Xiaokuan is deep, and his old subordinate Liu Qiu is the father-in-law of Wei Xiaokuan's younger brother, which shows the relationship between their old friends Also very close.

Right now, Wei Xiaokuan, who is guarding Yubi City, is in the limelight. Lu Rou invited Liu Qiu and Wei Xiaogu to meet him, and after hearing this, he searched for a long time. Vaguely guessed their intentions.

He folded his arms to salute Liu Qiu and said with a smile: "Liu Canjun is here all right? It's really a pleasure to see you here again after he was in charge of the two prefectures. !"

There was a slight smile on Liu Qiu's face, and he bowed to Li Tai first, and then said: "After a few months of separation, Boshan, you are even more handsome. Today, I have taken the liberty to come to the door because there is something that disturbs me. I hope you, Boshan, can help me out of righteousness." some."

"It is my honor if I can help relieve Liu Canjun's distress."

After Li Tai heard the words, he said with a smile, Liu Qiu has followed his father-in-law Duguxin for a long time, and he can be regarded as one of his old confidantes, and his cousin brought people in. For their sake, he can't turn people away .Moreover, it seemed that Wei Xiaokuan came to him for help, so he had no reason to stand by and watch, so he expressed his opinion in a grand manner.

The Weng and the son-in-law felt relaxed when they heard Li Tai being so bright, and when they followed Li Tai into the hall and sat down, Wei Xiaogu stood up and bowed to Li Taichang after he sat down a little: "Brother, take orders." Guarding Yubi City in Hedong, the army of eastern thieves is coming to harass again, and Yubi is the first to bear the brunt. I implore Li Kaifu to help two or three times.

I have admired the great name of the founder of the mansion for a long time, and I came here for no reason before. Today, I went to the hall for the first time to complain. I am really ashamed, but I really can't think of anyone in Kansai today who can be relied on.If this crisis can be relieved, my family will be grateful and there will be a reward! "

Although it was said that they didn't have much friendship with each other before, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to ask for help when they met for the first time, but because the target was Wei Xiaokuan, Li Tai not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather felt honored.

The current situation is indeed that if the Bafu does not make it clear that it will spare no effort to rescue Yubi City, then the personnel resources that Wei Xiaokuan can obtain in Kansai are really limited.

In history, although Wei Xiaokuan became famous because of the Battle of Yubi and won a huge strategic turning point for the Western Wei regime, in fact, starting from Yu Wentai, including his nephews, Wei Xiaokuan has never been very good to Wei Xiaokuan. They have always treated Wei Xiaokuan, a native of Guanlong. The military leaders in the book are full of vigilance.

Li Tai himself personally participated in the previous military meeting, knowing that the Tyrant Mansion has so far not made a clear plan to carry out large-scale personnel reinforcements to Yubi City.Although Liu Qiu didn't meet with him, since he joined the army in the official office, he must have his own news channel, so he must be aware of this.

Although Jingzhao Wei is also a common surname in Guanzhong, as Yu Wenhu said in history when he opposed the construction of the city in Fenbei, "Although there are many descendants of Mr. Wei, the number is less than a hundred. Who will be sent to build the city in Fenbei?" Even with the strength of his family, Nor is it enough to be looked down upon by a regime.

In Wei Xiaokuan's interpersonal relationship, Duguxin and his old subordinates are scattered everywhere, even if they want to, they are powerless.And the big families in Guanzhong, such as the Hongnong Yang family, were also excluded from the core military system, and even Yang Fu had to follow Li Tai to get involved.

So Wei Xiaogu is not wrong to say that, Li Tai is probably the only one who has both the ability and the motivation to give Wei Xiaokuan practical help in the entire Kansai.

In fact, Li Tai also had the idea of ​​providing some help to Wei Xiaokuan for a long time. After hearing Wei Xiaogu's plea, he immediately stood up and said: "Wei Shijun hangs the army to the east of the river and guards the border for the country, whether it is out of reason or morality. , if I ask for it, I dare not answer it.

If it weren't for the limitation of my job, I would even want to guard Yubi side by side with the envoy.No matter what is lacking in personnel, as long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to do it! "
