In the turmoil initiated by the Changsun family in the Chang'an court, not everyone involved was as confident as Li Tai, and he was still in the mood to plan his own little life.
Liu Min has been very anxious recently. On this day, he went to visit Li Tai in his hometown. He was accompanied by hundreds of people, many of whom carried bows and knives. He was obviously worried that he would be attacked and killed by the Changsun family on the way.
The front village was crowded with people, and Li Tai did not go out to greet them, but stood at the entrance of the valley waiting. When Liu Min walked here, the two brothers and sisters could not help but sigh when they saw each other.
Li Tai also deliberately pretended to take care of Liu Min's emotions, while Liu Min had a really worried look on his face, his beard and hair were all messy, and he had no manners at all. When he saw Li Tai, he sighed without saying a word.
"The current situation is unusual. If Mr. Liu has something to do, just report it to someone. There is really no need to take any risks and go in person."
Hearing what Li Tai said, Liu Min sighed again, and then said with a bitter smile: "I have already been deprived of my previous position because of my poor moral character and was not worthy of being appointed as an official. Boshan, you have to change your title. The name should match."
Can."
While he was talking, he took out a timid six- or seven-year-old child from behind, greeted him with a straight face and introduced him to Li Tai as his youngest son named Liu Ang.
Walking into the valley, when she saw the Taifu accountant who was stationed here by Daxingtai to protect Li Tai, Liu Min couldn't help but have a flash of envy in her eyes, but she didn't say much.
Arriving in front of the villa hall, Li Tai raised his hand to summon Shou Feng and Li Ya who were playing in the yard, and asked the two boys to take the little Liu Ang to play elsewhere, while he invited Liu Min to sit down in the hall.
"My Duke Taiwei was also tragically dismissed from his post, and this wave of revenge from the Changsun family was really violent and terrifying. I am now banned from the village by my Lord, and it is difficult for me to respond to my brother. I am really sorry."
What can comfort people in adversity is always to tell them that you are not the most unlucky. It is unfortunate that Liu Min was deprived of his official position, but compared with Gao Zhongmi's deprivation of the position of Taiwei, it is not the most unlucky.
pitiful.
Sure enough, after Liu Min heard this, he also calmed down his sadness a little, turned around and comforted Li Tai for a few words, and then said: "I came to see you this time to bid farewell to Boshan. I have neglected my duty before, and I will be more careful."
Troubles were brought into Taiwan, but fortunately the Lord still showed mercy and allowed me to return to my hometown to take up my duties and make up for my mistakes."
At this point, he said with some embarrassment: "If I hadn't come to ask for your help before, Bo Shan, you wouldn't have been involved in the matter. The matter started because of me, but now I have to run away from the battle. I am really ashamed to meet Bo Shan again."
See you, but I thought that I might not be able to see you again later, so I entered here shamelessly and said goodbye in person."
Li Tai did not feel that Liu Min was involved in this matter, but he felt that he was leading him to get this opportunity to enrich himself and make a fortune. Although Liu Min led the people to attack the Changsun family temple, it was also Li Tai's instigation.
.
Now Liu Min has been deprived of his official position and sent back to his hometown. Li Tai is still happily taking stock of his harvest in the village. He is already filled with joy and sorrow. When he hears Liu Min say this again, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"Difficulties are inevitable in life. Brother Liu, you are a warrior who strives forward in adversity. This world is no longer the old days when two or three sects determined the general trend. If you keep your loyalty to the country, the storm will eventually pass."
Seeing Liu Min's dejected look, Li Tai spoke to comfort him again.
Returning to Hedong Township to temporarily avoid the Changsun family is a good choice for Liu Min. Even for Li Tai himself, his cousin Cui Qian had previously suggested that he avoid disaster in the township, just because he understood Daxingtai's intention, so
Only then can we make a more favorable choice.
The Liu family has been a famous family in Hedong for generations, and when it comes to the strength of local power, it is not comparable to Li Tai. Even if Liu Min retires to the countryside, he still has a lot of potential. Unless the Eastern Wei fully occupies Hedong, it will only be a matter of time before he rises again. What Li Tai said is not empty talk.
.
"Boshan, your youthful and fearless spirit is really enviable. I had similar ambitions in the past year, but after going through setbacks and vicissitudes of life, my original intention and original intention gradually faded away... Well, thank you for your support.
I send you auspicious words and hope that the situation will turn around in the coming year."
Liu Min is not as optimistic as Li Tai. In addition to worry, she also has a sense of frustration and pessimism about the overall future of their Hedong family.
The relationship between the Pei Liuxue and other families in Hedong and the Western Wei Dynasty is relatively subtle.
Because of their rural origins, they happened to be located in the center of the war between the East and the West, and because of their considerable local resources and power, they had a certain transcendent status.
The reason why these families defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, of course, has little to do with the Beizhen Group led by Yu Wentai. To put it nicely, it is because Xiaowu moved westward and joined the legal system, but in fact, the Western Wei Dynasty was relatively weak, and they were able to obtain
Because of more autonomy, there is even the illusion of becoming a political force that can influence the general trend of the court and the world.
But in reality, the development of these Hedong families to the Western Wei Dynasty was extremely unsatisfactory, and almost no high-ranking officials in the dynasty were established. The Luoyang nobles who followed Xiaowu and Yuwentai's tyrants, including Su Chuo and other Kansai
People, intentionally or unintentionally, exclude them from entering the court.
Having local power but no political resources meant that Hedong people could not speak out independently and safeguard their own interests in the Western Wei regime, and could only become vassals of a certain party.
Just like Liu Min was deposed this time, it is true that he flirted with the person first, but it also shows that the Hedong family has a weak voice in the court and is unable to speak out. Traditional political forces such as the Changsun family simply do not treat each other seriously.
.Without the protection of Daxingtai, Liu Min would have been suppressed even in his hometown.
This incident can reflect that it is almost impossible for the Hedong people to cross the Bafu and talk directly to the court, at least for now, so there is no need to expect to be able to become independent from the court and the Bafu.
A third-party political force.
Putting aside his own circumstances, Liu Min was discouraged by this current situation. The Hedong family and the Beizhen warriors were two forces that had little contact with each other. However, due to the arrogance of the imperial court, they wanted to obtain channels for advancement and maintain their hometown.
Power can only strengthen dependence and obedience to the Overlord.
Liu Min calmed down for a moment and then said to Li Tai: "This time I returned home, in addition to rectifying the township military camp, I also served as the governor of the salt pond to rectify the salt affairs. I remember that you, Boshan, made suggestions to Daxingtai before.
, I came to visit today. In addition to saying goodbye in person, I also want to ask for the inside information."
After Li Tai heard this, he was stunned at first and then a little embarrassed. After all, this matter itself touched the interests of the people in Hedong. He was somewhat embarrassed to be questioned face to face by the person involved.
But soon he sighed again, after all, Yu Wentai is still cool.
Originally, he thought that Yu Wentai was just using this to undermine the political reputation of the Changsun family, but he did not expect that the Hedong family would also be included, and they would use the pressure exerted by the Changsun family in the court to implement the salt introduction system in Hedong.
Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that! Liu Min just helped you clean up the temples in Guanzhong, and before he even had time to spend the money he got, he took advantage of them being targeted and forced them to attack the countryside.
"I do have some input and suggestions on this matter. Salt policy is related to people's livelihood, but the imperial court has failed to regulate it since it was established..."
Li Tai first said some formulaic words, and then talked about his specific ideas.
The salt introduction system is a typical planned economy that provides integrated and standardized management from salt production to sales.
In the short term, it will not directly harm the interests of these salt producers. Even due to the regulations on salt marketing, the salt can be sold more conveniently and safely with the help of Bafu.
But in the long run, the right to distribute profits will be handed over to the hegemony. The production scale, sales routes and product pricing rights will no longer belong to the local wealthy families.
To carry out this kind of fundamental normative reform, Liu Min is indeed a very suitable choice now.
First of all, he comes from a famous family in Hedong, with huge local power and prestige. By presiding over the reform, he can avoid the resistance and opposition of Hedong people to the greatest extent. Secondly, as a senior practitioner, he can also understand the details and loopholes better than others. Finally,
Liu Min's own situation is worrying, and as her dependence on the Bafu increases, she is bound to be more attentive to her work.
Although this incident has put a shackles on the Hedong Salt Industry as a whole, it is not a short-sighted attempt to fish from the lake. As the official in charge of this matter, Liu Min has the support of the entire Xingtai Hegemony, and he has unprecedented power in dispatching and allocating local forces.
Strengthen!
To be honest, Li Tai was very envious of Liu Min. It was a blessing in disguise that he could get this appointment. At least if the Bafu handed this matter to him, he would never refuse. Unfortunately, he did not
If he is not from Hedong, this good job will never fall on him.
Liu Min originally thought that Daxingtai's salt policy reform was a zero-sum game in order to take back the salt profits from the people in Hedong and return it to the Taiwan government. Therefore, when he was appointed, he was worried, worried that if he did not do well, he would be blamed by the Taiwan government.
, the force is too strong and cannot be tolerated in the local area. In the end, it may end up being unpalatable to both sides and ruining both reputation and reality.
But after listening to Li Tai's explanation, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, his face swept away his frustration, he clasped his fists in the direction of the Taifu and said with emotion: "The former envoy neglected his duty and caused trouble for himself. I thought he was ugly.
It’s difficult to use, but I didn’t expect that Daxingtai would be given a heavy responsibility, which really makes me feel scared and ashamed!”
He then turned to Li Tai and said, "It's even rarer that you, Boshan, will come to Daxingtai with such a good plan to benefit the country and benefit the people. Thanks to your contribution, I have received this authorization and will definitely implement it with all my heart and soul to ensure the convenience of both the government and the people."
, I will never let down your wisdom and benevolence, Boshan!"
Therefore, people must learn to understand themselves after all. Li Tai felt that Liu Min should be able to see the far-reaching intentions behind Yanyin's reform, but he never mentioned it, only praised him a lot, and after deceiving himself, he had the mentality of selling local resources.
The burden will be much lighter.
Naturally, he would not expose Liu Min's self-comfort. After learning that Liu Min had been appointed as the Salt Administration Officer to implement reforms, he felt that they could strengthen cooperation with each other, so he smiled and said: "Brother, if you are not in a hurry, we can go there later."
Later, I will gather all the people from all over the country for a meeting, and I would like to ask my brother to attend and strengthen my authority."
