Before accepting this appointment, Li Tai still cautiously inquired whether this arrangement was to recall him to the Taifu or a temporary arrangement. He was slightly relieved when he learned that it was the latter.
To be honest, after getting used to being wild outside and enjoying the pleasure of supporting the army, no matter how important the position in Taifuzhong is, it is not very attractive to Li Tai. A temporary guest experience is okay, but if you let it go
Northern Shaanxi is a mess of power affairs, and it is a bit unacceptable to come back to the Bafu agency to sit in the government office.
This trip went to Chang'an for a funeral and a banquet. After returning, Yu Wentai also had a lot of things on his desk. He didn't have time to explain too much to Li Tai. After awarding the appointment, he waved to him to leave and take up his post immediately.
Li Tai also had the consciousness of a firefighter. Seeing that Yu Wentai had continued to bury his head in the papers, he said nothing more and resigned immediately.
As the name suggests, Kai Cao's participation in the army is the official position in charge of the armor and weapons of the troops, which can be regarded as a very important position in the Ba Mansion. Especially now that the Sixth Army is being reorganized and expanded, and on the eve of the Grand Parade, Kai Cao's affairs are naturally more busy and urgent.
In order to show off his seniority in the Taiwan government, Li Tai originally planned to refuse to be led by the visitor and go to Kai Cao's official office. However, he soon discovered that Kai Cao had changed his office location, so he obediently let someone lead him there.
Last year, Daxingtai made a fortune and expanded both Taifu and Huazhou City. However, the architectural layout and use of Taifu did not become more relaxed, but instead became more cramped and crowded.
This is because Yu Wentai transferred more power that originally belonged to the imperial court to the Taifu, and naturally he also had to divide the corresponding office locations and recruit personnel. As a result, the office environment of the Taifu was more crowded than before, and some were not very important.
Cao Si even directly signed a joint office, and different personnel and affairs were mixed in one place, making it even more confusing.
Kai Cao's new office is not located in Taifu, but in a newly built military city outside Huazhou City. Some military-related Cao bureaus under Taifu are also established here, including the current Sixth Army General Li
Bi, Shuhui's Taiwei and Sikong Mansion were also in this city.
When Li Tai took office as a new official, he had to sort out Cao's personnel as soon as possible, so he had no time to pay a visit to Shu Hui. Under the leadership of the visitor, he went straight to the official office after entering the city.
However, before they could enter the official office, they heard various noises coming from the city walls. Dozens of strong soldiers stood in front of the official office. They did not look kind-hearted and looked at Xiang Xiang warily.
Li Tai and others came here.
The visitor who was still responsible for guiding the way was pushed back repeatedly before he could even walk into the door of the official office. The soldiers standing in front of the door sneered: "The office has no time to work today. If you have anything to do, come back another day!"
"Are you a subordinate of Kai Cao, or are you a subordinate of Cao Cao?"
Seeing that these people were a bit arrogant, Li Tai raised his finger and pointed at one of the soldiers who looked like a captain and asked in a deep voice.
The soldier commander saw that Li Taiyi's demeanor was unusual, and he did not dare to neglect for a moment. He crossed his hands and replied: "A certain foreign soldier Cao belongs to the public and followed Shangguan to work here. If the foreign soldier Cao's affairs are not settled, there will be no time to deal with it here.
For other things, if you can afford to wait, you might as well come back another day."
When Li Tai heard this answer and saw the soldiers blocking the gate of the government office to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, he couldn't help but sigh that Kai Cao was having a rough time. Could this be the reason why Yu Wentai sent him here?
"I can afford to wait, but you may not be able to wait."
Li Tai was too lazy to argue with these soldiers. The officer showed his appointment letter to these people and said: "Xinde Daxingtai has appointed Consul Kai Cao. Please step back and give way until I enter the hall."
It’s easy to handle your affairs.”
Although the soldiers couldn't recognize the words on the appointment letter clearly, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Tai said. The soldier commander who had replied before quickly leaned forward and said: "It turns out that Mr. Lang is Cao's new recruit to the army."
,It’s really rude…”
Li Tai was too lazy to chat with these people anymore. After they gave up the passage, he paid homage to them and his entourage went straight into the office.
After entering the office, I found that the scene was even more messy. The people in the corridor were standing with their heads down. Many office desks and utensils in front of the hall had been thrown out and scattered on the ground in disorder. At first glance, it looked like an office for a domineering Cao family.
Some of them looked as if they had just been robbed.
A young man wearing a hakama pleated military robe was standing in the hall, with his hands on his hips and angrily scolding the dejected Kai Cao subordinates. When he heard the noise coming from outside, he immediately turned around and looked impatiently.
Lai said angrily: "Who allowed you... Li, Uncle Li, it turns out to be Governor Li. What's the reason for Governor Li coming here?"
This was a young Hu man. Li Tai looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his identity for a while, so he didn't pay attention to him immediately. Instead, he looked at the low-ambition Kai Cao subordinates and said: "
Who in the department will be present today?"
"Yes, it's me. I met Governor Li in my lowly position."
A middle-aged man walked out of the shadows in the hall, hurriedly walked to Li Tai, lowered his hands and clasped his fists, and said: "Huangfu Fan, a low-ranking officer in the army of Cao Cao, may I ask what the orders are from Governor Li?"
"Where are the other subordinates? There is such a big Kai Cao, but only these servants in front of me?"
Kai Cao is not the boss of the government, and he has at least a thousand officials and craftsmen in charge of warehouses, maintenance, repairs, supervision, etc. This is the scale that Li Tai knew before, and the current scale of personnel must be even larger.
"One of the consuls in the department, Liang Rongliang, joined the army. He fell off his horse in shock a few days ago and had to go home to recuperate..."
Before Huangfu Fan, who joined the army, had finished speaking, the young man who had been showing off his power in the hall couldn't help laughing and said: "Huangfu Canjun didn't tell the truth. Did Liang Canjun really just fall off his horse in shock? It seems that I want to do it too."
Arrange for Huangfu to join the army, otherwise it may be difficult to get the armor out in the near future."
While talking, the young man smiled at Li Tai and said, "I think Governor Li came here to collect armor for the grand parade, but these Kai Cao thieves are cunning and stingy, and they always make excuses and delays. If
Without punishment, they will only think you are weak and can be bullied!"
"Who are you?"
Li Tai looked at the young man carefully again, guessing that the soldiers in front of the door must have followed him. Although he had not yet had time to reveal his new identity and purpose, it was still a bit awkward to be pointed at the monk and scolded him as a bald donkey.
Unhappy, he frowned and asked.
After hearing the words, the young man was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he crossed his hands in embarrassment and said: "The last general's name is Yi Lou Mu. He used to be the governor of Daxing Taizhang. When he was in the governor's office of Dadu, he was present at the case. Now he is new.
Lead foreign soldiers to join the army."
After Li Tai heard the other party introduce himself, he had some impressions, but when he saw that the young man Yi Loumu had made a mess in Zhitang, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "If you don't do new things, you will inevitably be diligent.
He is eager to make meritorious deeds in his position. But even so, he should not interfere with other people's cases and show off his prestige."
This Yiloumu doesn't look too old, but his resume is quite impressive. He first served as the commander of Yuwentai's personal soldiers, and now he serves as a foreign soldier of Bafu and joins the army. It can be said that he is young and successful. No wonder he dares to do it in others
Cao Zhitang went crazy.
Look at the bitter look on the faces of Kai Cao and Huang Fufan. They are not the same spirit at all. Their auras are suppressed by others.
But when it comes to young success, except for a few guys who relied on their fathers to succeed, Li Tai has never convinced anyone, and there is no psychological pressure when he teaches others a lesson.
After Yilomu heard this, he frowned slightly, but before he could refute, his subordinate who was left outside the official office hurriedly walked in and whispered, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Director Li actually took over the title of Kai Cao. Congratulations..."
Facing Li Tai, the newly appointed Kai Cao who joined the army, Yi Loumu did not dare to be as arrogant and domineering as before, and looked at the messy hall he had made. His head was lowered a little lower, and he quickly explained: "This is a humble position.
On weekdays, I am by no means a bully, and I am willing to work harmoniously with my colleagues. But it is true that the former Kai Cao officials were not in good order, and the armor staff should have been paid a month ago..."
"I have just taken up the post, and the case is still unfamiliar to me. We will discuss it in detail after we understand it. I would like to ask Yilou to join the army and return to the office temporarily to wait for the notice of departure."
Li Tai also knew that Kai Cao's personnel affairs must be in chaos, otherwise he would not have been bullied like this. However, he did not need to pursue the previous matter. He just wanted to get rid of the irrelevant people quickly and sort out the personnel affairs in the department first.
"I understand, I understand. The Metropolitan Governor has always been known as a talented person. Now that he has been appointed as a consul, low-level people and other related people who are in trouble can rest assured. I will say goodbye and wait for the news, and dare not disturb the Metropolitan Governor before the case."
Yiloumu heard that Li Tai had no intention of pursuing him, so he nodded quickly and said that his previous madness had completely subsided. Because he had served as the commander of the tent in Daxingtai, he knew better that Governor Li was
In Daxingtai's mind, his status was unusual, and his own position and future were already extremely outstanding, so there was really no need to offend him.
Seeing Yiloumu walking out of the hall with a few followers, Li Tai raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, leave some followers to clean the inside and outside of the hall, bring some food and wine over in the evening, and help me add food to the staff."
After hearing the words, Yiloumu quickly clasped his fists and said in response. He was already planning to find some familiar colleagues after work later to brag that he led people to smash up Li Boshan's hall today. Thinking about the surprised expressions of those people, he suddenly
He was full of bad taste, but before leaving, he carefully asked Li Tai how he tasted and when the food would be delivered.
After the foreign soldiers and cavalry left, the people in Kai Cao came forward to pay tribute to Li Tai, the new commander. Seeing the frightened and happy faces of these people, Li Tai felt a little unhappy. This was really what he had led.
The most courageous subordinate I have ever had!
After gathering Xiong Xiong, his eyes first turned to Huangfu Fan, who was also a member of the army. Before he could speak, Huangfu Fan knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Please forgive me, the Governor, please forgive me..."
