When Yu Wentai heard this, his expression became even more joyful. He pointed at Yu Jin who was sitting at the bottom of the table and laughed: "The general thought he had a plan and invited good help, but he didn't expect that he would cause trouble, right? This boy is clever
Ying Shanzuo, please don’t take what he said as a joke. If we don’t serve food and wine, my guests will not leave easily!"
After Yu Jin heard this, he twirled his beard and said with a smile: "It is because I know that Boshan is interesting and refined, so I invited him to help. In all things in the world, love is the most precious thing. Idiots and mediocre talents are lucky. Jealousy is inevitable, so we should be kind."
How dare you cherish things if you cover up your ugliness to appease the public?"
A pair of close relatives exchanged compliments and greetings in the hall, and Li Tai, an outsider, seemed a little embarrassed.
After a while, Yu Wentai motioned him to stand up, looked up and down, motioned him to sit at the table, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a few months, your heroic spirit is renewed, you are a prosperous young man, and you are fearless of the passage of time. It's really disappointing.
envious."
Yu Jin was sitting aside and saw Daxingtai's undisguised admiration for Li Tai. His thoughts moved and he smiled and said: "Li Lang should be a few years older than a child, and his style is even better. He is eye-catching and pleasing, so he must be his elder brother."
Huli Shaojun, who has high hopes for me, is still alone today. Is he arrogant because of his love and unwilling to give in, or is he already engaged in Huli in Dongzhou and unwilling to betray others? "
Li Tai didn't remember any old marriage contract with him, and Li Zhusheng and other family members didn't mention it to him. After hearing this, he replied: "I used to be in the house, but I was frivolous and mischievous. I was trying to be strong in the countryside, and I was often blamed for it."
He was reprimanded by his relatives for the loss of his family reputation. After becoming more righteous, he restrained himself from his old ways and changed his ways. He became somewhat vulgar and had no good relationship to lose."
After Yu Jin heard the words, he smiled again and said: "In that case, you should wash your eyes and take a closer look, and be brave enough to ask for it! Being proud in things is just being lonely and courageous, and happiness comes from the combination of yin and yang. A harmonious family will make your heart happy and spiritual.
In the Qing Dynasty, if a household has a virtuous woman, then there will be no worries..."
"The general taught him these things, but he was too worried. This boy seems to be open-minded on the outside, but restrained on the inside. Because the fate of his lost family is still uncertain, so he swallows his words."
Before Yu Jin finished speaking, Yu Wentai interrupted, with a slightly unnatural look on his face. After pondering for a while, he said to Li Tai: "Don't think that the general's gossip is bothering you, the bearded man.
Marriage, starting a family, and establishing a career are also the virtues of the benevolent elders. But since you have your heart set on it, you don’t have to give in to the crowd’s opinions. Although the characters in Kansai are simple, there are also people with clear judgment and elegant hope. When the time comes, there is no need to
It can be known.”
When Yu Jin saw Da Xingtai interrupting his words and talking about his personal problems to Li Tai so seriously, he immediately realized that what he said was a bit redundant, so he laughed twice to cover up the embarrassment in his expression.
.
Li Tai is not stupid. After listening to Yuwen Tai's words, his mind subconsciously recalled what Cai You said to him on the way back after dinner with Cai You at Yuwen's house last year.
Some words.
At the time, he thought it was Cai You who was coveting him, and felt a little baffled by some of his words. But now, he felt that Cai You was coveting him and he was probably in a wrong relationship. It turned out that there was someone else who was really coveting him.
After hearing what Yu Wentai meant, Li Tai felt secretly happy in his heart. There was no other messy measurement, but he was just secretly happy that you, a stinky black otter, were not immune to my charm, so you still planned to give me a soft drink.
Food to eat.
…
But after this secret joy, he felt a little unhappy. What does it mean that the time comes? I have grown tall and strong now. I have both the motive and the ability to do it, and occasionally I have a more fiery passion.
Demand, isn’t it time to come?
As for saying that he is not in the mood to get married when he can't see his father, this is just an excuse to refuse others. His father is just lost, not dead. He can't stay away from marriage for the rest of his life because of this, which would be even more unfilial.
But now Yu Wentai borrowed these words to restrain him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
It means that in Yu Wentai's heart, he is not in the first rank of marriage alliances. Just wait a little longer. My cabbage hasn't grown up yet. The next crop, the next crop may be your turn!
Although Li Tai does not regard his feelings and life events as so solemn and precious, he is always ready to sell them for a good price, and it is not too late to start falling in love after he becomes successful.
But when he realized that he was being carefully weighed and weighed, and he was not too eager to get it, he still felt that his self-esteem was somewhat frustrated. My love has been betrayed, my soul has been betrayed, why are you so afraid of dirtying your hands?
?
If you don't shout "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi", you will think that I have no temper, right?
Although shouting was not allowed, Li Tai did have some thoughts of resistance and rebelliousness in his heart. Of course he knew in his heart that it was normal for Yu Wentai to have such thoughts out of considerations of pros and cons and weighing the situation.
But I came to your house to take the blame and prepare to eat soft rice. Do you want to listen to your reasoning? What's more, you have so many girls, how many mouthfuls of food will be left when it's my turn!
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, what really made Li Tai feel a sense of crisis was Yu Wentai's desire to control him and control his life in this matter. I can't marry anyone else except your daughter.
Right? If it’s not my turn, I’ll have to stay single forever?
Although there was a lot of inner drama at the moment, Li Tai really felt the irresistible strength hidden under the surface of Yu Wentai getting closer and closer to him and appreciating him.
When it comes to issues related to his own interests and his future and destiny, Li Tai really can't stand the kind of worker-slave thinking like "it's not easy to be in a big business, my daughter is still young, if you just have to endure it, better days are ahead".
.
Therefore, after all, people have to strengthen themselves. There is no need to think about relying on others for praise, nepotism, and having enough food and clothing. Do you want to eat the leftovers?
He calmed down a little and stopped worrying about these distracting thoughts. When Yuwentai asked about the current business situation of Sanfang City, he answered it seriously.
When he heard that Li Tai had raised thousands of troops to guard various places in just half a year, and the key was not to increase the burden of money and food on the Bafu, Yu Wentai smiled again on his face, and asked with a smile: "
According to your opinion, if we add 20,000 troops to Dongxia Prefecture, how many years will it take to operate it?"
Of course, the 20,000 troops mentioned here cannot be the Zhuxiang regiments and field soldiers that Li Tai hastily recruited in various defense cities, but the elite armed forces such as the Bafu Sixth Army.
Although the combat effectiveness of elite troops is considerable, the cost of raising an army is also high. Not to mention the replenishment of armor, staff, and equipment, the food consumption of troops and horses alone is an extremely astonishing figure. If there is another high-intensity battle, the consumption will be doubled.
…
When Yu Wentai asked this question, it was obviously because the situation had improved this year and the increase in troops was smooth, and he actually had the idea of opening up a new front in northern Shaanxi and pointing the troops at Jinyang.
After Li Tai pondered for a while, he shook his head and said: "The barbaric wilderness in Beizhou has not been completely eradicated, and the people's sentiments are still undecided. Once disturbed, they will definitely collapse. Last year, the high bandit soldiers wiped out the barbarians in Lishi, Shilou and other areas. There were many barbarians in the area.
Fleeing to the west of Hexi, hiding in the wilds of Dongxia Prefecture, there may still be unrest this winter, and I, together with the military and security officials, are working hard to prepare for it. After surviving this winter, the situation will definitely improve next year, but within a short period of time, the prefecture may encounter unexpected surprises.
Even if we go out, we still can't station a large army permanently to control Jinyang from a distance."
After hearing this, Yu Wentai nodded thoughtfully, and there was no great disappointment in his eyebrows. He just looked at Li Tai and sighed: "Thieves are fierce, and they may not be able to end in one life. Er Cao Shaoliu
There is no need to worry that there is no place to make meritorious deeds. Boshan, although you are a latecomer in today's society, you can be said to be a pioneer among others. You have inherited the past and the future, and you have a lot of responsibility!"
This is true. Of course, Li Tai's current status and prestige are not as good as those of these North Town veterans, but in this world, except for the Yuwen family's dragon-slaying team, there is really no rising star who can surpass them.
He has one. But when the next generation of people grows up, the Yuwen family's political power is not far away from death.
A few people chatted in the hall for a while. During this period, Yu Wentai still did not take the initiative to talk about the salary arrears to Fangcheng. Instead, he asked the Dushui Administration Department how much food and materials could be delivered to Bafu this year. It can be seen that after the lavish spending at the beginning of the year, now
Bafu's finances are a bit stretched again.
After a series of rectifications in Luoshui, various water conservancy fortifications such as canals, weirs, and rivers have been gradually integrated. Otherwise, Li Tai would never be able to support the nearly 10,000-strong city defense force based solely on the management of local materials.
Li Tai made some calculations in his mind and came up with a quotation of 200,000 dan for grain and 50,000 pieces of cloth, which was comparable to the entire year's grain and tax payment for a large county in Guan Nei.
He could still cover up the affairs of the Three Defense City, but the official document procedures of the Dushui Administration Bureau were clear and distinct. Even if Li Tai used the channel alliance to make some changes, he could not cover up the big accounts.
After all, the test method he proposed previously has been implemented for more than a year. It is difficult to conceal any big actions within this charter, so it is better to tell the truth.
This can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot, but without the foreshadowing of these previous suggestions, he may not be able to achieve his current position.
When Yu Wentai heard this figure, his face was filled with joy, and then he made another request: "All the administrative grain and silk will be folded into grain cakes to supply, and they will be supplied to the Taifu government before winter."
"If we make all the grain and cakes, I'm afraid the cost will be high. This autumn's great harvest can be seen, and at the end of the year, the grain will be cheap and the labor will be high. The office itself is not enough to use it, and whatever it receives will depend on renting. If we make all the cakes, we still need to work hard.
People’s homes.”
The so-called private family is naturally Li Tai himself, but in a business-like manner, the cost must be clearly stated. If we two families don't talk to each other, you will pay whatever others pay.
Yu Wentai did not care about these details. After hearing the words, he nodded and said: "However, this autumn, the grain and millet in various places are heavy, so it is necessary to dump some fine materials in case of emergencies. Capital City should take advantage of this water conservancy and should not idle around. The villages in Huazhou
All the harvest this autumn will be used to make cakes, and the public and private expenses will be borne equally."
Of course he also knew that Li Tai was the largest supplier of military rations here, but even if all his assets and businesses were confiscated, he would still have to hand it over to others. He did not have time to squat in the workshop every day to supervise the making of rations.
It's not like he hasn't tried to produce it on his own, but the cost is higher and the efficiency is even lower. He simply leaves this matter to Li Tai. After all, this kid is not easy, and he can be regarded as diligent in his work.
A reward.
But Li Taike didn't see it that way. Since Xinwei last year, his family had been receiving a steady stream of orders for military rations, and he really didn't want to deal with the Taiwanese government's small-profit orders.
Yuwentai is clearly occupying his productivity, so he can only take advantage of the situation to increase prices, increase the burden of raising troops on those military leaders, and make up for Li Lan. After all, I have become a Bafu certified supplier, so spend more money
You should also be happy.
However, Guanzhong was unable to make up for the productivity gap caused by the increased demands from the Bafu. It seemed that the Jihu believers in Luochuan Temple had to add a Buddhist ritual activity of grinding flour and pounding cakes.
He is not worried about the negative impact that this craft will have if it flows into Jihu. If you want to make a large amount of military rations, you must first have so much food. If you really want to leave your nest and move closer to the farming area, my three-defense city is not a decoration. I won’t wear your pants.
Take it off and you'll have to wear it when you go out!
