Northern Dynasties

After a few more days, the promulgation of the reform decree between the DPRK and China finally came to an end. What was left was the subtle implementation. Taishi Yuwentai also led the Chinese and foreign government officials to bid farewell to the emperor and return to the city that had been renamed Tongzhou. Huazhou.

Of course, the young master Li Tai also led his troops to go eastward along the Weishui River. As for Dugu Xin, he probably didn't want to see the harmonious scene between his father-in-law and his son-in-law, so he stayed in Chang'an without accompanying him.

Li Tai originally planned to return to Shangyuan first, and then take his wife to Tongzhou Zhongwai Mansion. As a result, Yuwen Taiyi had just passed Luoshui and told him to go to Shangyuan Township with him to visit his home.

After learning about this situation, Li Tai quickly sent envoys to return to his hometown to make preparations. He stationed a large group of troops in Shayuan, and then led hundreds of fine cavalry troops to drive towards Shang Yuan from the chariot guarding Yu Wentai. . As for the large forces of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, they went directly to Tongzhou City.

"The scenery in this countryside is really charming. I heard that many changes have taken place in the countryside after Boshan settled here. So when the villagers mention your name, Boshan, they are all grateful."

When approaching Shangyuan, Yu Wentai got out of the car and changed to a war horse, and motioned to Li Tai to ride the horse with him. While admiring the scenery of the fields without restraint, Yu Wentai said with a smile to Li Tai.

It is now the time of late spring, when everything in heaven and earth is revived, and the vegetation is lush and full of vitality. Farmers are working hard in the fields, and the light and easy-to-make curved shaft plow has long been popularized and has become a ubiquitous agricultural tool in the countryside of Guanzhong.

Although Li Tai didn't get any official titles in exchange for this, his position is already at the top of the world. At this time, when I see farmers using it to cultivate fields and reclaim wasteland, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.

Hearing what Yu Wentai said, Li Tai smiled and said: "If the seedlings in the fields are properly fertilized, they can grow vigorously. But the merits of good weather and good weather cannot be wiped out just because the farmers are hardworking. If it weren't for the Lord sitting in the middle of the country, , take charge of the military and political affairs, ensure that the country's political orders are in order and the people are not disturbed by war, how can this town be governed?"

When Yu Wentai heard this, he laughed, pointed at Li Tai and sighed: "Speaking to Bo Shan always feels like a spring breeze, which makes people addicted to it! When it comes to eliminating the war disasters of the people in Guanzhong, this compliment I do my best to do my duty. To govern a big country is like cooking small dishes, and you should not work too hard. In recent years, the country has been cautious in using troops, and every move must be successful.

It's ridiculous that the son of the Gao family relies on the talents of his father and brother to force everyone to work hard and fight, causing internal and external unrest. His appearance of bravery will not last long. Such a military man is definitely not the master of the industry. Boshan, keep your eyes open, Jinyang and Yecheng will be captured by our heroes from Guanxi! "

Although these words are not unreasonable, Li Tai always feels a bit sour when he hears them. You just envy other people's strong family background and can attack wherever you want, right? Although he is a poor guy, he is quite ambitious, but even if that is the case, you will definitely never see him again.

The scenery in Shangyuan Township is indeed different from other places. The most obvious point is that the land use is more extreme. In addition to the endless stretches of farmland, there are also economic crops such as flax and soybeans planted on the ridges in the fields, as well as large-scale orchards and flower beds. There is also no free soil on the hilly slopes, and rows of mulberry trees are planted, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

Such a variety of agricultural cultivation has extremely high requirements for water conservancy facilities. A large number of wells and canals are distributed in the countryside, and the timing of water release and storage are systematically managed to ensure that every piece of farmland and forestry can be fully irrigated.

There are also many workshops scattered along the Luoshui River, covering paper making, oil pressing, food processing, etc. The richness of the industry can be said to be the highest in Guanzhong, and the products are exported to all directions.

Of course, Yu Wentai had already known about this prosperous country under his nose, and he had visited it several times when he passed by it, which was very impressive.

Now, with Li Tai's company, Yu Wentai can't help but enjoy it even more with the explanation given by Li Tai, the man who personally created this grand occasion in the countryside.

He had no intention of confiscating these assets to the official camp. He was deeply impressed by the high cost and poor quality of the grain cakes produced by the Bafu before. He also knew that in addition to military supplies and other supplies, this kind of official-made workshop must be done at any cost. Except for monopolized industries, in other industries that have profit requirements, administrative costs are a huge expense.

Moreover, these industries are located within the territory of Tongzhou. Even if Bafu cannot profit from production and sales, it can still make a lot of profits from land rent and city tax, and it does not need to make various management investments.

In fact, not only the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, but also the Jingzhou General Manager's Office, after the situation stabilized and the foundation for attracting investment was established, Li Tai no longer asked the General Manager's Office to participate in too many production links, but instead attracted private investment and issued government orders. and carry out tax adjustments to promote industrial development.

Once the government has the need to make profits and participate in the production process, objectivity will inevitably be lost in administrative management, which will greatly distort the entire order and ecology within the governance, which is not conducive to overall development. Not to mention the control of administrative costs and the supervision to eliminate corruption and malfeasance in all aspects. For example, in some resource-based cities in later generations, the government is excessively involved in production or the industry is deeply tied to policy management. Once the resources are exhausted, the vitality of the place will no longer exist. Many times the so-called transformation is often just empty talk, because all supporting facilities, including the government, exist based on industry. If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached?

When the group arrived near Shangyuan, they saw from a distance lined with welcoming people standing on both sides of the road. Due to Yu Wentai's unexpected arrival, the scene originally intended to welcome Li Tai back home also needed to be more tightly controlled.

However, it was difficult to implement more comprehensive control in a hurry, and it was difficult to drive away all the enthusiastic villagers. Therefore, Li Zhusheng, who had been staying in Shangyuan, asked the villagers to distribute bamboo sticks to the people along the road and let them build fences. Don't cross the line.

When Li Tai and his party arrived, they saw the villagers shouting warmly to welcome them, but the villagers at the front were holding horizontal bamboo sticks in their hands as a boundary. The people stayed behind and did not rush. Get on the road and disrupt traffic.

After Yu Wentai saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hengzhu is a wall and no one dares to cross it. The folk customs in this village are really unique! Looking at this, it can be seen that Boshan really spreads morality and justice in the village! There is no lack of it in the court. Wen and Wu complained that the people in Guanxi are tough and difficult to get along with. They should really learn from you, Boshan!"

After Li Tai heard this, he smiled proudly and waved to the villagers immediately. To say that the people of Shangyuan are morally noble is a bit wrong. When Li Taichu came to the countryside, he suffered as much as he deserved.

But the difference between him and other Shiliu in the guest village is that he did not blindly bully the weak and move toward outright confrontation because of the discord in his hometown. Instead, he used various means to avoid conflicts and mitigate them.

He did not keep an eye on the people and underground men in the village and would not give up until he got them all. Instead, he took the initiative to expand the increase and share it with the villagers. If there is no more fundamental conflict and they become close business partners, then the relationship will naturally get better.

Because of the grand master's arrival, many of the virtuous elders from the countryside who had come to greet Li Tai retreated to the rear. Standing in front of the manor waiting to greet him were officials from Tongzhou and Wuxiang counties, in addition to Li Tai's family members.

Wei Chijiong, the governor of Tongzhou, did not come, probably because he was worried that he would be buried by Li Tai's fellow Shangyuan people. After all, Li Tai was very cautious when entering and leaving the palace during this period. People who come out to fool around always have to pay back, and people who are not popular are inevitably suspicious.

Waiting to welcome him here on behalf of the state capital is the new mayor Shi Cui Qian, but his name should be Yu Wenqian now. Nowadays, most people in the current generation are given the surname Hu, and the highest proportion are given the surname Yuwen.

The Li Tai family had offended his father because of his previous deeds of deposing Emperor Yuan Qin, and made it clear that they refused to grant surnames. Now they have not joined the ranks of granting surnames, but it is inevitable for Cui Qian brothers.

Seeing that Yi was approaching, Cui Qian led his troops to meet him. However, when he saw Li Tai, his eyes suddenly became complicated and sad, and he seemed to be unable to speak.

Li Tai knew that his cousin must be feeling very aggrieved. Although Shi, the governor of Tongzhou, seemed to be closer to the center of the Bafu, his status and authority were not the same as those in Jingzhou.

In Jingzhou, Li Tai is the boss and Cui Qian is the well-deserved second child. But in Tongzhou, he is not even considered the thirteenth. Not to mention that in the near future, there will definitely be a major war in Jingzhou.

However, it was not the right time to talk. After the group of people greeted the grand master in front of the village, Yu Wentai waved his hand to signal the officials to go back to their respective offices, leaving only the Li clan and his cronies in the tent.

It was only when the car drove into the manor that Li Tai discovered that Yuwentai's team also included female relatives and an acquaintance, Xiaoer Zhu.

Although he is Yuwentai's plastic confidant, he can't just ask the boss who will warm the bed tonight. But he really didn't know that Xiaoerzhu actually followed Yuwentai to Chang'an this time. He even took the deposed emperor with him, which shows that Yuwentai really loves Xiaoer Zhu.

The ladies of the Erzhu family are the white moonlight that cannot be wiped away from the hearts of the long-term workers in Bei Town!
