Yu Wentai's family was still busy preparing for the girl's marriage, so they did not leave Li Tai to have dinner.
After Li Tai finished narrating his story, he said goodbye and left Taifu. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and he would go to Yu Jin's house tomorrow to discuss the matter of getting married, he did not leave the city and return to Shangyuan, but went straight to live in the city.
When he came to the door of his house, Li Tai saw many people gathered here, and he was a little curious. After Gao Zhongmi was dismissed last year, he went to live in the countryside. Even though he was appointed Situ again, he did not move back. Why is there still something in front of his house?
So many people wandering around?
He was also on guard and did not enter the house immediately. He first led his entourage to drive away those suspicious people from the door, then rode his horse straight into the door, looked at the doorman and asked: "Where did these people come from? Why?
Peeping outside the door?"
The door servant also looked at a loss, shook his head and said: "I have never seen him before. They gradually gathered around in the afternoon. Several of them came to knock on the door and asked the lord if he was at home, but they didn't give him a name card. The servants couldn't wait.
If you dare to reveal your master's whereabouts, you won't be chased away..."
When Li Tai heard this, he frowned slightly, feeling a little weird. If he really came to visit in a good way, he wouldn't hide his head and tail like this.
However, he has not been in Huazhou for more than half a year and has not had a chance to offend anyone. Could it be that he has some old grudges?
"If anyone who comes to spy still refuses to explain their intention, they will be directly beaten and driven away!"
Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Tai stopped thinking about it and simply gave the order. Thinking that he would have to live in Huazhou for many days, he sent some people to the countryside to inform Gao Zhongmi and others, and at the same time recruited another hundred or so people to the city.
Listen and use.
After explaining this, he simply ate some dinner that had been hastily prepared by the kitchen, then undressed and went to sleep on the bed.
Early the next morning, Li Tai was still playing horse racing in the backyard. Gao Zhongmi, who was more graceful and prosperous than last year, hurried in with some anxiety and worry on his face: "Apan, are you okay outside?"
What kind of personnel dispute did it cause?"
Li Tai was also surprised when he heard this. He stood up, put away his horse and frowned and asked: "Uncle, why do you ask that? I have been in Beizhou for the past few months. After entering the country yesterday, we went to pay homage to the general with him.
We are in Taiwan, and we don’t have time to talk to people. Is there some kind of harassment in the village?”
"I can't talk about harassment. It's just that from afternoon to evening yesterday, there were many strangers walking outside the village in Yuanshang. Many people visiting the village were mostly related to the situation of Apan's family. I only heard the report from the villagers at night. Today
I have already told the villagers to pay attention to the whereabouts of those strangers, and I will come to tell you to be careful."
Gao Zhongmi also said with a suspicious look on his face: "You are different now. Your personnel are more extravagant, and your behavior affects people's hearts. You may offend others unintentionally, but it is inevitable that you will be jealous, so you must be careful in your behavior and at home.
"
After hearing the words, Li Tai nodded: "It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Uncle, don't worry. My family is not just a place where people can touch it lightly. It is inevitable for people to peek at it. But if anyone intends to do harm, once they are discovered, they will be killed."
No mercy!"
Gao Zhong secretly kept Li Tai in mind and entered the city as soon as the city gate opened. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast. After Li Tai finished his morning exercise, they went back to the room to have breakfast together and exchange ideas about domestic and foreign affairs.
Gao Zhongmi was not idle in his hometown. He had been taking care of all kinds of household affairs according to the family planning route that Li Tai had set before. When talking about the various household affairs now, he couldn't help but sigh: "When I entered here in a hurry, all my thoughts were lost."
, I just thought that our uncle and nephew would have to depend on each other for the rest of our lives. I really didn’t expect that in just a few years, Ah Pan, you would have gathered such a huge financial power in this village!…
Although Dongzhou's old family is also called a rich hometown, it is the hard work of the ancestors for generations, which is far inferior to Apan's skill in building a family here from scratch! What I have seen since I came to the village has opened my eyes and deeply deepened my knowledge.
Inspired by you, Apan, although I am not as stunning as your talent, I can still do it by focusing on guarding this career for you..."
When talking about recent family affairs, Gao Zhongmi did not stop at empty words and lamented. He also told Li Taile about his recent business operations. For example, following the relationship with his former chief Shi Nianxian, he sold some of the manor's products and rare goods to the powerful families in Chang'an City.
.
Li Tai originally had such an idea, but he was busy with other matters and had no time to take care of it. Gao Zhongmi took the initiative to run this matter, which saved him from distraction.
Gao Zhongmi may not have the courage to start a business from scratch, but he is still good at building relationships based on existing personnel. The reason why he was forced to go to Xitou, in addition to the superficial sexy and dirty things, was also because Gao Cheng could not stand him.
Too ostentatious, forming cliques for personal gain.
After the drastic changes in middle age, some of the surly and negative aspects of Gao Zhongmi's character were greatly restrained. He was deprived of his position and then given it again, which also made people realize that Daxingtai did not completely give up on him, and his position was actually more stable as a result.
.
Coupled with the fact that Li Tai was the new rich man in the palace, Gao Zhongmi now seemed to have considerable influence in both the government and the public. He actually accomplished some things that Li Tai had not expected.
"Previously, King Guangling asked for the introduction of Chang Shi, hoping that my family could make a batch of jade soap specially for the royal family. The price is not low, but I still take the initiative to lower the price. I just ask that all the items be listed as imperial gifts to ministers.
Among the materials. As expected, after the mid-year celebration, all the items became popular in the city, and there was an endless stream of visitors. King Guangling came again to urge the purchase, but it was no longer the old price..."
Gao Zhongmi was quite proud of his marketing skills. He sold rare goods to rich people. Once the high-end market in Beijing was opened, the momentum was similar to a money grab. Lilan far exceeded the sales in the countryside.
Li Tai was also happy after hearing this. Although the Chang'an court now lacks real power, it does not mean that it is poor.
In the old year, Xiaowu moved westward. In order to repay and appease the Yuan and Wei clans and Luoyang dignitaries who took the initiative to send him legal documents, Yuwen Taike gave them a large amount of human and land assets.
Take the current Western Wei royal family as an example. Almost half of Yongzhou's money, grain and taxes are provided for use, not counting the private donations from other states and counties to the powerful Fang Bo of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties.
Although he is becoming more and more a puppet, he is definitely not poor. No matter what Yuwen Tai does behind the scenes, he must respect him on the surface. Even if the finance of the hegemony is in trouble, he will not take the initiative to attack the emperor's private treasury.
idea.
Gao Zhongmi was able to turn his family's property into an imperial merchant level so quickly, which shows that his ability to build relationships is indeed quite good. Although the Yuan and Wei clans enjoyed great prosperity, they did not dare to blatantly recruit troops and buy horses. Large sums of assets could not be spent.
, Li Tai wouldn't mind spending a flower for them.
Li Tai was still waiting to discuss with Gao Zhongmi how to expand the royal treasury. Outside the door, two young men, Shuofeng and Li Ya, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came with their heads held high. Li Ya also had a deerskin sleeve hanging on her waist, which contained
His ruler is ready for the village owner to hammer and hone his piece of gold and iron at any time...
"Last night, we said that we would go together with Situ Gong. When I got up this morning, Situ Gong had already left. Fortunately, my brother has not left the house yet!"
Several little Feng complained, and came closer to grab the steamed balls and stuffed them into their mouths. Li Ya did not dare to be so casual in front of Li Tai. Seeing Li Tai nodding, she sat down and grabbed the food.
He said it with his mouth and said with a grin: "Master, I have learned the "Emergency Chapter"!"
Hearing this boy show off that he was finally blind, Li Tai also smiled happily and told him to study "The Analects of Confucius" next, and after he finished it, he would give him his unique skill to challenge thousands of armies.
"What are you two planning to do with your coquettish outfits?"
Seeing these two boys dressed in red and green, with youthful expressions on their faces, Li Tai couldn't help but wonder.
"Brother, you don't know? Yes, you just came back, so you definitely don't know. There is going to be a happy event in the city, and I am going to the general's house to be the best man. Do you know what a best friend is? It is to select the handsome and handsome people in the city.
As a young boy, the host who helped him perform the ceremony paraded in colorful clothes and sang to welcome the bride."
Some of the Feng Ping Lao Wan soup spilled on their clothes, and they actually raised their orchid fingers, and sighed in self-pity: "I don't live in the city very often, and I don't know where they are boringly talking about how good I look, so this is
He was chosen by General Yu, who is good at discerning people. I am not friendly with his son-in-law, so I might hurt my feelings by rejecting him."
Seeing his showy and disgusting face, Li Tai suddenly felt that being the best man of the Yu family was a very shameful thing.
Next to her, Li Ya laughed and said: "I have no relatives in the Yu family, but I want to go with my cousin Zhan Che. I have made an appointment with Brother Bodhidharma to let him pass by me and share the gifts he asks for between the two of us!"
"
Yu Wentai has now married three daughters, namely the crown prince of the Emperor Yuan Bao Ju's family, Li Yuan's son Li Ji, Li Bi's son Li Hui, and this time Yu Yi, the second eldest son of the Yu family, is already the fourth.
The Crown Princess of the Yuan family was the first to get married due to political reasons. Li Yuan can be regarded as Yu Wentai's number one confidant and dared to draw a knife to Dugu Xin's role, so their children were married when they were still young. Li Bi was married this year
After returning home, he and Daxingtai became in-laws shortly after the New Year.
Thinking of this, Li Tai felt a little relieved. Even Shuofeng, a butterfly, had to queue behind him, not to mention that he was no longer a veteran cadre of Beizhen.
However, when he heard that these two boys had agreed to make a fortune while the wedding was held, Li Tai's face suddenly sank, and he frowned and said: "Are these lies and evil tricks taught by Xue She? The master appreciates them, so he invites you."
If you participate in the ceremony and preside over it, whoever dares to show his disgrace during the ceremony will be punished upon his return!"
Seeing Li Tai's serious expression, the two of them hurriedly nodded in agreement. Shuofeng also whispered: "Brother, don't be upset. We are just joking in private. How can we really be greedy for gifts?"
It brings disgrace to the master..."
"I will also act as the best man in the family, and I will be in charge of the money for the wedding. You and the other boys will all come to me to withdraw money. Don't overpay!"
After hearing this, Li Tai calmed down a little. He first gave Shuofeng a lesson, and then said sternly to Li Ya: "The relatives of the girl's family blocked the road with their car, which means that the love is deep and difficult to let go, and it is not to make the wanton young man greedy for money."
Make things difficult! When the time comes, just give a brief expression, and don’t forcefully block it when it’s time to let go!”
"Understand, understand, the owner of the village is the most thoughtful in doing things! Brother A and I will listen to the owner of the village. When we come back, the three of us..."
Li Ya smacked her lips for a moment, and suddenly she beamed. Before she finished speaking, she saw Li Tai raising an eyebrow and glaring at her, so she consciously took off the deerskin cover, took out the ruler and handed it over.
