Northern Dynasties

Chapter 64
In the few days before the grand parade, internal and external ministers gathered together in this small Liyang Fangcheng, which was also a rare opportunity for fellowship. Many ministers visited each other and gathered.

Although the Taiwei Gao Zhongmi has no real name, his position is conspicuous after all.His family is a rich family in Hebei, and his elder brother Gao Gan had close contacts with Luoyang people as early as the time of Emperor Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Some of them moved westward with Emperor Xiaowu, and some lived in Kansai during several wars between the Wei and Wei Dynasties.In the past years, the distance was far and it was inconvenient to come and go, but now I also took this opportunity to visit, and because of this, I regained a few friendships with the village.

As for Li Tai, although his family background is prominent, his age is too young. In people's eyes, he may not be representative of the Li family in Longxi, and he lacks prominent status. Except for He Basheng and a few people he knew before, he doesn't attract much attention.

However, he was not idle either, he either accompanied Gao Zhongmi as a guest, or followed He Basheng and others to meet Beizhen warriors.

Several Hui became very excited in the past two days, and was planning to open up a new chapter in his life and career, when he encountered Daxingtai who came off the field to give blessings and recommended compressed military rations, which made this object and the Wuxiang County Township Group become famous in Jingyuan for a while. focus.

Shuohui was very excited about this, eager to take advantage of this opportunity to do something big.

Li Tai was not as optimistic as Shuo Hui, he just felt that Yu Wentai's actions were simply adding to the chaos.

Due to the limited production capacity of compressed military rations, it is difficult to take advantage of this wave of heat and carry out large-scale distribution to occupy the market.On the contrary, because of too much attention for a while, too many people know about this new thing, which is not conducive to calmly selecting the most suitable target customers.

This is not a product with cross-age technological content. The reason why Shiliu was not created is that there is no such concept, and the process is too cumbersome.

But now Daxingtai has come forward to endorse. Apart from its inherent food value, compressed military rations have an additional layer of meaning.It is conceivable that in the near future, there will definitely be a large number of similar imitations.

Nowadays, there is no concept of copyright, and the reason why Yu Wentai recommended it to the generals should be for the same reason.

Hearing Li Tai's analysis, Jihuihui was inevitably disappointed, but he still had one or two chances in his heart, but when he wandered around in Fangcheng, he heard many people's comments on this, not buying it, but researching and making it himself. The time is also half-hearted.

"Aren't we going to let this business fail first?"

A great career suddenly turned into a bad prospect, and the disappointment in Shuohui's heart was not just a little bit, but also a huge sense of emptiness that ended before it even started.

Li Tai in turn comforted him and said: "A sudden luck may not necessarily be a blessing. This thing involves a lot of work, and the crowd flocks to make it, so it is unavoidable to be cheap. Right now, there is no need to rush to be the first. Deeply studying techniques and refining internal strength are still indiscriminate. The possibility of winning and post-strike.”

He intends to deal with this matter coldly, wait until the heat subsides, and then rely on the accumulation of technology and mature production mode to gradually seize the market.

Thinking this way is not to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Although ancient societies usually emphasized classics over skills, as long as the rulers kept paying attention to the craftsmanship, they could often reach a very high level in a very short period of time.Not to mention the mere compressed military rations, cakes can be cut in minutes.

But in this way, it is undoubtedly contrary to the value and significance of compressing military rations.

This is a kind of military food that can be mass-produced, has enough calories, has a long shelf life, and is easy to transport. If it is only to satisfy the appetite of a small number of people and go to the extreme, no matter how ingenious it is, the meaning will be greatly reduced.

Another point, that is, has the current food processing capacity reached the level of large-scale rationing of this kind of military food?

Li Tai felt very upset when Yu Wentai intervened and disrupted the established industry regulations.He also imagined maliciously, Yu Wentai is now playing tricks, and when he sees a wave of military leaders occupying water sources and setting up kilns in Kansai, will he still be able to laugh?
The production process of compressed military rations may not be clear at a glance, but it is obvious at a glance that the materials require a large amount of flour and soybean flour.Only by using hydraulic power can the production cost be greatly reduced, which is inevitable.

If you don’t understand anything and recommend blindly, let me make money for two years in a muffled voice, can you lose money to death?
Although Li Tai was a little upset, this change did not mean nothing to him.

First of all, since Yu Wentai has paid attention to this new thing, he must be curious about himself as the creator, and he may have to prepare to be summoned by Daxingtai in a short time.

Secondly, the Wuxiang County and Township Regiment, which took the lead in supplying this kind of military rations, can basically guarantee that it will not be disbanded and replaced as long as it does not show too much in this big parade.

In addition, Li Tai's idea of ​​accumulating rural power and gaining power through water conservancy projects will become more certain and feasible.Protecting water and farming, in the next period of Guanzhong, will not only be a rural dispute, but will also become a political issue.

Although the short-term interests may be damaged, Li Tai is also full of sense of accomplishment when he thinks that he has worked so hard for food and clothing since he first arrived in Kansai, and now that one action can affect the political trend of Kansai invisible.

According to this momentum, will it be too far to overthrow the Yuwen family's hegemony?
Not being able to take advantage of this upsurge to achieve the goal of transporting goods from various companies to help support the army, several Huizi feel very disappointed.After experiencing several things, he trusted Li Tai's analysis even more.Since Li Tai said that it needs to be dealt with coldly for a while, he can only concentrate on the original business first.

Therefore, when the compression of military rations became a hot topic in the city, the instigators all remained silent and had no sense of topic presence.

At the end of September, the day before the grand parade, Li Tai and Chang Shi Nianhua went to Yongzhou Inspector Hou Mo Chen Chong's place to receive the guard of honor and armored soldiers needed by the Taiwei Duke's mansion to participate in the grand parade. It happened that He Basheng was also here, so I was honored to meet you one side.

Hou Mo, Chen Chong, like Shuo Hui, belonged to the younger generation of young warriors in Beizhen, and they all had the same illustrious military exploits.Now it is only [-] years old, and it is already the Kaifu and the governor of Yongzhou.

Unlike several Hui who died on the eve of being conferred the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom, Hou Mo and Chen Chong will be awarded the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom in the next [-] years of Datong and become one of the prestigious Eight Pillar Kingdoms. Because of causing trouble with his big mouth, he was forced to kill at home by Yu Wenhu.

Because of knowing these deeds, in Li Tai's impression, Hou Mo and Chen Chong should probably be a rough, unruly, and outspoken martial artist.But when he went to the hall to meet, he realized that the image of Hou Mo and Chen Chong was still somewhat different from what he had imagined.

This man looked burly and tall, but he was not rough. When talking with He Basheng, he was not keen on making comments, but rather taciturn.

When seeing Nian Hua, Hou Mo and Chen Chong only said a few words of "sorrow" and "do things with heart".When he heard He Basheng's introduction and praise to Li Tai, he nodded and laughed, "Very good, very good".Look at this appearance is not purely perfunctory, but it is true in nature.

Seeing Hou Mo and Chen Chong like this, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, you said that since you have cherished words like gold for most of your life, why did you quote death instead of a good end?
However, the situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was also delicate and dangerous at that time. Only two people died in the Eight Pillars Kingdom, apart from Yu Jin, Tie Ci's follower of Yuwen's family, only Hou Mo and Chen Chong remained.Under such circumstances, even if you are cautious in your words and deeds, you may not be able to save your life.

Hou Mo and Chen Chong respected He Basheng, the big brother of Wuchuan, although he was busy with official duties, he patiently chatted with He Basheng, and all official affairs were supervised by his subordinates.

Hou Mo and Chen Chong didn't stand up from the table until his subordinates reported that Kaifu Li Hu had come to see him.

Li Tai was also very excited when he heard this name. He wanted to get to know this Tang Taizu for a long time, but He Basheng directly got up to bid farewell to Hou Mo and Chen Chong, and walked out from the side door, as if deliberately avoiding the same entrance. Li Hu met.

"What? You want to meet Li Wenbin?"

Seeing Li Tai traveling a long distance and still looking back frequently, He Basheng asked with a smile.

Li Tai was taken aback when he heard the words, he hadn't deliberately inquired about it before, and he didn't notice that Li Hu's name was so domineering, but his writing was so elegant, and he smiled after a while: "The Duke of Longxi granted the old county of Sangzi, and his reputation is quite famous. I'm really curious. How is the style?"

"Are you a little unconvinced? Then work hard and strive to regain this title in the coming year, so that it is well deserved!"

He Basheng smiled again when he heard this.

Li Tai glanced at Nian Hua who was walking with him, and quickly waved his hands: "I dare not think about it, I just want to see the virtuous."

He Basheng smiled again after hearing the words, and did not comment on it, but Li Tai couldn't hold back his curiosity, and hurried forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle avoids seeing Duke Longxi, do we..."

"Oh, it's me who blames Wenbin. He doesn't like to see me, and I don't bother to annoy me, so it's better not to see me."

He Basheng let out a long sigh, not wanting to discuss this topic in depth.

After Li Tai saw this, he became more suspicious, and after thinking about it, he gradually understood.

Li Hu can be called a loyal supporter of He Ba's family, and he has a deep relationship with He Bayue. When He Bayue was killed by Hou Mo and Chen Yue, and Wuchuan's powerful group had no leader, he directly took action and went to Jingzhou to inform and I implore He Basheng to go to Guanzhong to lead the troops.

But He Basheng did not follow Li Hu's advice, so that Yu Wentai took over He Bayue's old department.Li Hu was captured in Luoyang on his return journey, and was immediately repatriated to Guanzhong by Emperor Xiaowu.

After this trip, it can be said that there are no people inside and outside. In such a situation, no matter how much friendship they have between each other, it is inevitable for Li Hu to complain about He Basheng in his heart.

The He Basheng that Li Tai saw now was already full of old spirits and low morale, and he took care of himself a lot, so naturally he had a good relationship.But if he were to change places and put him in Li Hu's position, he might have to break up with He Basheng to alleviate the suspicion of the new boss.

"The relationship between Uncle Yang Zhong and Governor General Yang is not too bad, is it?"

After realizing that one thigh was far away from him, Li Tai couldn't help asking again.Although he is determined to do it and wants to start his own business, he also wants to add insurance before his horoscope draws a stroke.
