Northern Dynasties

Chapter 45
Li Tai stayed in He Basheng's manor for another day, and had a preliminary understanding of He Basheng's trilogy industry, but he didn't start to take over related matters immediately.

The King of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is hard to deal with. The current Li Tai knows this truth very well.

Whether the business status of He Basheng's family property is good or bad, since it can be maintained for so many years, there must be a set of personnel and methods.Sudden changes are bound to cause a series of conflicts and oppositions.

Li Tai had just fought a battle with the big households in the village, and now he has no patience and energy to participate in other people's house fights.

If he rushes to the front line to suppress and resolve those conflicts, even if everything is based on He Basheng's interests, the conflicts will inevitably be intensified, and if it becomes serious, it will even affect the friendship and getting along with He Basheng, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, he did not immediately propose any major plans for governance, but only agreed to take some time to inspect these manor properties with He Basheng, and then make relevant plans.It also gave He Basheng a certain amount of time to deal with the disharmonious voices in the family affairs.

After staying in Chaoyi for two days, Li Tai and his followers returned to Huazhou first.

"A Pan came back just in time, there is a surprise waiting for you at home!"

Knowing Li Tai's return, Gao Zhongmi strode out from the front hall, took Li Tai's hand and said mysteriously.

Li Tai was still suspicious here, Gao Bailing walked up with two servants, one behind the other carrying a wooden box several meters long.

"Thirteen Lang, guess what is in this wooden box?"

Gao Bailing walked up to him, pointing to the wooden box carried by the two men, and made a show of it.

Li Tai saw the appearance of this pair of master and servant, and also saw that although the wooden box was not small in length, it was narrow, so his heart moved, he asked, "Could it be some kind of good soldiers?"

After Gao Bailing heard the words, he laughed, motioned the two servants to put down the wooden box, stepped forward to open the wooden box, and said: "At the beginning of the month, Daxingtai summoned the lord and asked about the illness. To Thirteenth Lang, encourage him to make great contributions here!"

When Li Tai heard this, his mood suddenly became a little excited.He doesn't have special admiration for Gao Aocao like his predecessor, but he is also looking forward to the horse lance used by Gao Aocao, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

The wooden box was opened, and the inside was lined with silk, lying horizontally was a black horse with gleaming sharp edges, exuding a sense of austerity.

Gao Zhongmi bent down and grabbed the lance with both hands, his eyes turned slightly red, he rubbed the thick lance with his fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "I bid farewell before the court, I don't know if this will be a farewell... Now we meet again, It’s a gain and a loss!”

He couldn't bear to take a close look at his brother's old things, so he held them in front of Li Tai with both hands, and said in a low tone: "The old things are not precious, but they were made by my younger brother. I know that you, Apan, have always admired Ao Cao and gave you his old things!"

"Thank you, thank you uncle for your kindness, I will definitely cherish and maintain the old utensils of old Master Situ!"

Li Tai quickly raised his hands, lowered his head and said.

But when his hands came into contact with the thick and smooth body of the spear, Gao Zhongmi did not let go immediately, but continued to say in a concentrated voice: "Weapons of the dead, ominous things, must be fed with blood! I have lost my power and will, and the bloody revenge may be difficult." Revenge, but A Pan, you are young and ambitious, I only ask and beg you, if you have a chance in the next year, please drink the blood of He Liuhun and his son!"

Gao Zhongmi's hatred for Gao Huan and his son can be said to be deep-rooted, but Li Tai, who knew what happened in the future, knew that it was not easy to achieve this goal.

Not to mention that Gao Huan is already in a difficult position, and he doesn't have any influence in the Western Wei Dynasty now. It is almost impossible to use Gao Aocao's old spear to kill his big brother and nephews who have never met before. impossible.

But when he saw Gao Zhongmi's tears flickering and a look of uncontrollable grief, he still nodded his head and said: "Whether it is righteous or personal, I have accepted it and I will repay it! Please rest assured, Uncle, in this lifetime, I will use this blade to penetrate into the flesh and blood of his family!"

"Okay, okay... Ah Pan, pick up the lance!"

When Gao Zhongmi heard this, the tears in his eyes immediately rolled down, and he handed the grown-up horse lance to Li Tai's hand.

Li Tai felt heavy in his hands, not only psychologically, but also in the hand.

This horse lance was more than one foot long, and its lance was several feet long. It was cut on eight sides and shone with cold light. Compared with ordinary horse lances, it was nearly one meter longer and weighed more than [-] kilograms.

The body of the lance is not the solid wood lance rationed by the military. The outside is a layer of tightly wound filament glue. The original color can no longer be seen after long-term blood and sweat. oily.

There are some notches chiseled by swords on the surface of the lance, exposing the fine and compact glulam inside.Whether it is the color soaked in blood or the traces of damage, they all record the years when the master of this lance fought bravely and fought bravely.

The thick and rough texture of the hand made Li Tai feel a surge of emotion. He held the horse lance with both hands and practiced it on the spot. He couldn't help but imagine Gao Aocao's majestic majesty in those days, and his heart swayed even more. Excited.

A few Hui originally gave Li Tai a military-style horse lance, but Li Tai felt that the weight was too light, so after practicing for a while, he gave it to Li Yantou.However, the horse spear that Gao Aocao personally made and used was a bit heavier than his current arm strength level.

But Li Tai didn't intend to pass it on to others, if his strength and skills didn't match, he continued to practice.In the coming year, holding Gao Aocao's old spear to fight against the enemy, he will have a great sense of superiority psychologically, and even intend to pass it on from generation to generation in his heart.

It is true that a good horse lance can be preserved for dozens or hundreds of years as long as it is properly maintained, but the horse lance was mainly popular before the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.It is not easy to make a good spear, the battlefield is where it belongs, and it is rare to be buried with it.After the Five Dynasties, the horse lance gradually declined and disappeared from the world.

Therefore, there are very few real horses in later generations. If the tall horse in Li Tai's hand can be passed on to later generations, even if it is not a national treasure, it will be enough to drive some people who are fascinated by ancient war history crazy!
Li Tai couldn't put it down so much that he couldn't put it down, and even had some urgent urges to see him drink blood in his heart. This may be the psychic nature of things and the influence of fierce soldiers on people's minds.

He shook his head to get rid of some too bloody imaginary images in his mind, and carefully put the horse back into the wooden box, and secretly hoped that this weapon would not be dusty for too long.

The group returned to the central hall to sit down, and Gao Zhongmi ordered the servants to serve meals. Although it was no longer as rich as Li Tai's first meal when he came to Huazhou, it was also a good mix of meat and vegetables. It can be seen that the livelihood of the family has been greatly improved. Big improvement.

After all, Shangyuan's manor has achieved some initial business results. Although the fields have not yet had a big harvest for the season, Li Tai buys daily necessities in his hometown and sends them back to the city, so he doesn't have to be exploited by local tyrants and profiteers like Liu Gong.

After the meal, Gao Zhongmi spoke first: "A month ago Daxingtai summoned me to go to Chang'an to visit the palace in September, and intends to transfer me to Taiwei to participate in the October parade."

Li Tai had heard He Basheng mention this matter a long time ago, and after hearing that, he nodded and said, "Congratulations, Uncle, on his new appointment!"

Before the Western Wei Dynasty reformed the six-official system, it still pursued the official positions of the Northern Wei Dynasty.Although most of the eight princes are high-ranking officials, their rankings are also high and low. Although both Taiwei and Situ belong to the lower three princes, their status ranks ahead of Situ.

Gao Zhongmi didn't feel much joy about being promoted, instead he shook his head and sighed: "How can you know that it's not a disaster? I was in the Western Dynasty, and I didn't have an inch of merit, and I was awarded many honors. How can I not be jealous?"

This is true, although both Situ and Taiwei are just false titles without real power, but the status is there after all.In the officialdom, who is willing to stand behind others and eat farts?
At present, in the court of the Western Wei Dynasty, among Yu Wentai's fellow villagers in Beizhen, only one He Basheng served as the Taishi and Wang Meng served as the Taibao.

Needless to say, He Basheng's prestige and status, Wang Meng is Yu Wentai's biological uncle, and the two are in the rank of Shanggong, so no one dares to say anything.

Gao Zhongmi first surrendered in Hulao, and was named Situ by the Western Wei Dynasty.This is nothing, for one thing, Hulao, the Heluo East Gate, is of great significance to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the other is to give eye drops to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. After all, Gao Aocao was Situ in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

But now that Hulao is lost, Mangshan's disastrous defeat still makes people feel distressed, and Gao Zhongmi's promotion to Taiwei will inevitably make people feel a little uncomfortable.There is a huge gap between fame and power, and hidden dangers will inevitably be buried.

But worry is one aspect, since this is Yu Wentai's intention, Gao Zhongmi has no room to object and refuse at all.

"Uncle has a lot of respect in his life, he is in such a high position, and he is kind to others, so I don't think there will be any resentment from the public."

Li Tai thought about it, and he could only comfort Gao Zhongmi like this.The situation is stronger than people, and since the situation is not as good as people, of course we have to be patient.

But whether this will lead to safety, Li Tai is not sure.In the small imperial court of the Western Wei Dynasty, the personnel and affairs were in a mess, and it made people feel a little terrified just watching from the sidelines.

For example, some Hui, who were going to be the governor of Qinzhou before, was appointed as the governor of Beihua Prefecture before he took office, and he no longer went to Longyou to fight against Duguxin.

Li Tai didn't know that the history was like this, and he was the little butterfly who slapped him. When he asked He Basheng about the details, he just waved his hands and didn't say anything.

"Of course I understand the truth, but sometimes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, which is really helpless."

Gao Zhongmi sighed first, and then said with some embarrassment: "Before, Ah Pan, you congratulated Grand Master Baba and punished the local people. It was really wonderful. I don't think I have such a business plan. Now there is another There is a hidden danger, I want you, A Pan, to give me a detailed explanation, how should I deal with it in order to be comprehensive?"

Hearing this, Li Tai immediately smelled a pig teammate coming online, and said quickly, "What else can I say between Uncle and I? If Uncle has something to do, it's okay to tell him straight! .”
