Northern Dynasties

Chapter 74
"Uncle, what is going on?"

Following Lu Rou all the way to Chang'an, he found the official residence allocated by the imperial court for Gao Zhongmi to live in Beijing. Li Tai, who was full of doubts, looked at Gao Zhongmi and asked questions.

Before entering, Gao Zhongmi happily raised his hand to help Li Tai pat off the snow on the leather cloak: "I was also a little surprised, but it's a good thing anyway. Ah Pan, you are so talented, you will definitely not stay in the country for a long time, no matter sooner or later , this day will always come, I think it's a little late."

It's hard to hide his talent, Li Tai knows it, but it's still a bit sudden for him to be conferred with such unprepared titles and officials.

Of course, he also longs for progress and power, but he doesn't like this kind of unplanned change very much.If you don't figure out the inside story, you can't always feel at ease.

Seeing Li Tai's serious expression, not just the joy of being promoted, Gao Zhongmi couldn't help sighing: "A Pan, you are calm and calm when things happen, no wonder Da Xingtai appreciates you so much, personally Call me to inquire about your deeds."

While speaking, he raised his hand to signal the people in the hall to leave, and only sat opposite Li Tai in the hall, before he spoke again: "Daxingtai called me in a few days ago, and I thought there was something wrong in Dongzhou that I need to refer to. But it turned out to be only for you, Ah Pan! I had expected this, you still remember when Jing Yuan was hunting..."

Hearing Gao Zhongmi mention that Yu Wentai actually noticed him when he was hunting in Jingyuan, and that He Basheng and Ji Hui both gave him a very high evaluation, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh with emotion how wonderful the encounter in life is.

When he first entered Guanzhong, he really wanted to meet Yu Wentai eagerly, and wanted to let Yu Wentai appreciate and value himself with his foresight as a time traveler.

However, after realizing that the situation in the Western Wei Dynasty was far more complicated than he had imagined, his mood gradually cooled down, and he planned to immerse himself in the countryside to start a career, but he didn't expect that it was his appearance that finally made Yu Wentai notice him.

After the reading was over, he followed He Basheng to Lishan for a tour, and after returning home, he began to deal with the manor and village affairs. He had no time to talk to Gao Zhongmi, and He Basheng never told him about such a thing. It is only now that I know that such an episode happened in Jingyuan.

At this time, thinking of Yu Wenhu coming to contact him specially in Jingyuan, Li Tai couldn't help feeling that Yu Wenhu was really narrow-minded, only hearing other people's praise of him, he couldn't help but want to provoke him. Own.

"Daxingtai's admiration for you is not limited to Jingyuan. Daxingtai has asked you about many businesses in the village recently, but I don't know too much, so I can't answer in detail. Next, Daxingtai Maybe I will call you to inquire in detail, Ah Pan, you have to be prepared!"

Gao Zhongmi looked at Li Tai, and said proudly and reluctantly: "Daxingtai knows that you did not come to Chang'an with me, and the disappointment is beyond words. I only think that a famous gentleman should be left in Zhuxiang. Please give me a seal as soon as possible." ..."

Hearing this, Li Tai gradually understood the inside story of his being promoted to a noble rank.

Thinking about it carefully, he has done quite a lot in the past six months.In addition to shocking Daxingtai because of his handsome looks, whether it is printing account books or making compressed military rations, Yu Wentai deserves a special look at him.

The compression of military rations caught Yu Wentai's attention during the Liyang Grand Parade. As for the account book, it should be the time when Yu Wentai saw it.

Thinking about it this way, this incident was not sudden. It was just that after a long period of hard work, it is now a harvest period.

"By the way, Uncle, how powerful is my official title in the Western Dynasty?"

Now that he accepted the fact that he finally stood out and was noticed by the leaders, Li Tai began to care about whether he had a good harvest this time.

He did know the ranking of the titles of the uncles of the ancient princes, but he was still a little at a loss as to what kind of treatment this so-called Gaoping county man could receive and what affairs the outsider cavalry servant could be in charge of.

Seeing Li Tai's expectant eyes, Gao Zhongmi explained with a smile.

First of all, the Minister of Sanqi, Yuanwai, was originally designated as a fourth-rank official during the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but was changed to a seventh-rank official position a few years later. There is neither a fixed number nor a fixed appointment.

It is often regarded as a noble official who started his family as a rich child of the family. After all, it can be seen from the official name that he is a servant official.Li Tai was born in the Li family in Longxi, and he was conferred this official position when he entered the court from the public house, which is also in line with his family status.

The Northern Wei Jue system was divided into five ranks from the king ranks down, and the fifth ranks were further divided into founding ranks and scattered ranks.Founding Jue is a fifth-class construction and a feudal city for food, while San Jue has no food town and is just an honorary title.

The man from Gaoping County that Li Tai was entrusted with was the lowest of the fifth-rank nobles, and he was still a loose-ranked noble without food, and his rank was only lower than the fifth rank.

After listening to Gao Zhongmi's explanation, Li Tai couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and his feelings were fucking happy.

I got a Langguan position, but it was a few grades lower than joining the army in the original government office, and it was still a non-member and not an official.

The title is directly the lowest, in bulk, without food.Lao Tzu is a real man, of course I know it, why did I finally become a loose man instead of getting a title?
The good news is that there is a lot of good news. The Minister of Dispersed Cavalry is a title in itself, and he still retains his job as a military secretary in the Taiwei's Mansion.

As for the title, no matter Sanjue or Founding Jue, in the Western Wei Dynasty, they are all vain titles and no food is given. It is just the rank of Banlie, and the Founding Jue is higher than Sanjue.

But knowing these Li Tai is even more depressed, since they are all false titles, what can you do with an earl or duke?I don't want to eat yours again!

In a dignified and overbearing mansion, the cold winter months dragged such an impeccably handsome young man from the stove to the cold Chang'an City, but in the end he was only dismissed by officials and nobles who were out of staff. Is this okay?this is not good!
Li Tai vented all his anger, he only felt that the court of the Western Wei Dynasty was really shabby and stingy, so they should break up as soon as possible, and be a fool!
Seeing that Li Tai was unhappy, Gao Zhongmi could probably guess a little bit of his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "A man only suffers from lack of willpower, not from lack of official rank. A Pan is still a young man, let alone this Self-disturbance."

Li Tai didn't really complain about his low rank, after all, he had been in Kansai for more than half a year, and he didn't have any merits that could really be put on the table.Under such circumstances, Yu Wentai still gave him an official promotion, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to himself.

Perhaps the expectation was too high, or it didn't meet Li Tai's own expectations, so he felt a little disappointed.These two vain officials in name are not as attractive to him as a powerful commander-in-chief, after all, they can command soldiers justifiably.

A good background also has troubles, like Zhou Changming, who can be directly promoted from a township garrison to a county commander, but in the traditional concept of the current aristocratic family, he is a lowly official.

Li Tai is just a young man, he is not worthy of Yu Wentai's prevention and suppression, and he deliberately does not give real power to officials. This conferment is only in accordance with the traditional values ​​of the family.

Otherwise, these medieval clans are idiots, they deserve to be sharpened by Er Zhurong and Hou Jing.Always pursue the appearance of glamor and refuse to work hard.

Li Tai deliberately worked hard in industry, just because he didn't want his political future in the Western Wei Dynasty to be restricted by his background.But being paid attention too early still disrupted his planning rhythm a bit.

But anyway, it's a good start.At least in Yu Wentai's heart, he is not a rich man who only depends on his family's shade.And according to Gao Zhongmi's words, Yu Wentai may summon him again in the near future, which is also an opportunity for him.

So in the next few days, he lived in Gao Zhongmi's official residence with peace of mind, and carefully sorted out and revised the plan to rebuild the Longshou Canal that was already being prepared in the village. When he planned to meet Yu Wentai, he presented the plan to Hand it in, show off your abilities again, and see if you can win an official position with real power.

Not long after Li Tai entered the city, Jing Zhao Yin Cui Xi heard the news and came to see him. He was accompanied by another cousin Cui Qian who had not met during the last visit.

"A Pan is really impressive. I have never seen Daxingtai so excited by a young man! Because your talent is astounding in the world, I am also troubled. The visitor came to the door at midnight and urged me to brave the wind and snow to go to China. Zhou Zuo is right, I ask you for the details of Jiance's offerings!"

When Cui Xi saw Li Tai, she patted him on the shoulder with joy.

This guy has a strong arm, he doesn't look like a civil servant at all, and Li Tai's shoulder hurts from the slap, so he can only laugh and say: "Cousin is too famous, after all, it's your cousin who is good at governing, that's why you get such an award from Daxingtai!"

Cui Xi's Jing Zhaoyin official position was stabilized, and his title was promoted to marquis and added to the post of governor.Facing this little cousin who helped him a lot, he was naturally overwhelmed with joy.

Cui Qian, on the other hand, was much more mature and serious than Cui Cong. He patted Cui Cong's arm that was on Li Tai's shoulder away, and then said, "A Pan is also an official now, so living in another household is not a long-term plan. Since I am under your rule, , should be properly settled! The nearest long-term resettlement will make it easier for relatives to move around in the coming year."

"Brother, I won't ignore this matter if I don't remind you. The former came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to talk about the details. Everything was busy a year ago. After the New Year's Eve, I will accompany Ah Pan to the next county. I will definitely take care of Tian Sang's family affairs." Sure!"

Cui Xi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and Li Tai was also overjoyed when he heard that, as expected, the most solid relationship is one that can help each other and benefit each other.

With his cousin Cui Xi coming forward to support him, Longshouyuan's nail-biting household is sure to be his!

The end of the year is approaching, and the atmosphere in Chang'an City is also lively and busy.There were quite a few visitors to Gao Zhongmi's mansion, and many of them came here to take a look at Li Tai.Although Daxingtai never summoned him in person, he expressed his appreciation for Li Tai several times on different occasions, but it quickly spread in Chang'an official circles.

On the day of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Tai also changed into brand-new robes, and entered the dynasty with Gao Zhongmi.

Although his official position is not high, but because of the disliked title of San Baron, he has also obtained the qualification to be a member of the court.

　Let me talk about the issue of calendar festivals here. It seems that the calendar of the Zhou Dynasty uses the twelfth lunar month as the first month. I remember that I also introduced it when I wrote Tang Huang. . .As for the calendar of the Western Wei Dynasty, some book friends mentioned this issue before, but they did not investigate it seriously. If it is said that it is based on Zhouli, it should be after Yuwen Taituogu reformed and implemented the six-official system. I hereby inform you. . .
