As Li Bi brought back the ceremonial guard built by Supervisor Kai Cao from Taifu to Huazhou, Huazhou City, which was already a bit chaotic, suddenly seemed to have another handful of dry wood added to the stove, making it even more noisy.
Before, it was just an order from the Taiwan government, without any specific objects as reference. The recipients were already looking forward to it. Now, seeing such a group of bright armors, as powerful and domineering as the Protector King Vajra, who can resist it?
?
Kai Cao, who was in charge of handling this matter for a while, suddenly became the focus of attention. The official hall located in the military city in the suburbs was overcrowded every day. The servants of the generals who had been rewarded were eager to start from the morning under the orders and supervision of their masters.
In the evening, I stayed here eating, drinking, and eating, and did not dare to leave for a moment.
This is not the first time this year that Kai Cao has been surrounded by people, but the situation before and after was completely different. Previously, the visiting people often beat and scolded Kai Cao's subordinates, but this time, although there were also many visitors, they did not dare to do what they did before.
It was so unbridled that even Kai Cao's official work was not greatly affected.
Fortunately, these people did not wait too long. Just a few days after Li Bi received the ceremonial relics given to him, Li Tai, who had been missing everyone, finally appeared on the road on the outskirts of the city, but he did not return to the city.
Go straight to Li Bi's camp in the east of the city.
When the crowd who had been waiting impatiently came after hearing the news, the entourage of Li Tai and the Communist Party had already left Li Bi's camp. Several large carts were escorted in the team, and armors and other items were stacked on the cart boards.
high.
No one cared about what Li Tai was escorting. The soldiers of the powerful slaves swarmed up and surrounded Li Tai and his subordinates. They asked repeatedly: "Excuse me, Governor Li, what is the gift given to my lord in front of Daxingtai?"
When can we pay for cultural relics, etc.?"
Thanks to the layer-by-layer protection of his entourage, Li Taicai was not impacted by the swarming slaves. However, looking around, he could see the crowds of people in his field of vision, and he couldn't help but feel that the momentum was a bit too much.
It was not until Li Bi sent a group of armored soldiers from the rear camp that he pushed back the enthusiastic and somewhat crazy crowd, allowing Li Tai and his party to continue on their way back to their headquarters in the military city.
Those powerful slaves followed him all the way. Even if they were blocked by the guards outside the military city, they lingered outside the city and refused to leave.
It’s not because this ceremonial guard really has a charm that makes people addicted to it, but when the atmosphere is created, the meaning no longer lies in the utensil itself. In ancient times, two peaches killed three people, and the peach was not a flat peach given by the Queen Mother. I am so greedy for this bite.
Very greedy.
After finally returning to the official office, Li Tai first arranged the armor staffs obtained from Li Bi inside and outside the main hall of the official office, and then ordered to receive the rewarded generals and their respective officials.
After meeting these people, he naturally came up with a set of words that had already been prepared. It was certain that the gifts would be delivered, it was just a matter of time. Kai Cao's personnel were now simple, and it was difficult to take care of everything.
If Li Taiwei Gao Yi had not donated a batch of armored weapons and weapons, allowing Kai Cao to free up his labor force to rush the work, otherwise the previously delivered batch of armored cultural relics would not have been made!
I'm not asking you all to be as upright as Lieutenant Li. Regardless of whether you donate equipment or not, since the Taiwan government has issued the order, Kai Cao will definitely deliver the gift.
But things have to be done in an orderly manner. Kai Cao only has so many materials and production capacity is limited. Everyone should wait honestly according to the official rank. As long as you live long enough, there is no reason why you can’t get it. Don’t doubt Ba
The sincerity of the government, look at the old man who killed Gao Aocao, isn’t he still receiving gifts every year?
After saying what needed to be said, Li Tai ignored the reactions of these people and ordered his staff to send these people out as gifts and not to disturb Kai Cao's work.
After these people brought back Li Tai's meaning, the owners of each family had different feelings and reactions. Of course, they also understood that Li Tai alone could never handle this matter, and there must be Daxingtai's instructions or actions behind it.
Approval.
While many people were still hesitant to decide, General Yu Jin, Sikong Shuohui, etc. also donated some armor materials to the Taiwan government, claiming that they were of course a sacrificial material for the armorers, so as to ensure that the ceremony would not be missed.
thing.
In order not to reveal a too utilitarian business atmosphere, Li Tai did not play with these people about money and goods, but posted a notice outside Kai Cao's official office, saying that with the help of these ministers, Kai Cao
The shortage of labor and materials has been greatly alleviated, and a new batch of Yijia cultural relics will be delivered in the middle of the month, but the specific number that can be delivered has not yet been determined.
As soon as this notice was issued, the pressure was immediately put on some generals with high rankings, because according to the delivery rules, these people would definitely be the first to receive the gifts. And with Kai Cao's limited supply of materials, they had to
It will definitely squeeze out the share of those behind.
In this way, if Kai Cao still cannot pay enough for the gifts during the Grand Parade, the reason is not that Kai Cao neglects his duties, but that those in front of him are unwilling to donate sympathies.
Not long after this notice was posted, another important person made a donation to Kai Cao and personally escorted the equipment and materials to the Bingcheng official office.
When Li Tai learned that Zhao Gui led his team to visit the government office in person, he was naturally surprised. However, no matter what their relationship was, since the other party came in person, it was considered as a compliment to him, so he had to welcome him.
When Li Tai came out of the official office, Zhao Guicai, who had reined in his horse and was standing on the street, turned over and dismounted. He stood there waiting for Li Tai to come forward and bow to him. Only then did he show a smile on his face. He pointed at Li Tai and said kindly: "Li Tai is responsible for many tasks."
He is responsible for his position, and he is responsible for all kinds of things. He is really hardworking and admirable. There are also a few members in my household who enjoy the country's favor, but compared with Li Cheng, they can really be called thieves who steal salary.
But to maintain the national economy, how can the Taiwanese government handle important tasks alone? Although I am advanced in my work, it is not convenient for me to take away your case. I know that you have been working very hard recently. Please take care of the armor and weapons in the rear.
check and accept."
Seeing Zhao Gui's kind attitude, Li Tai didn't know what to say for a while. He looked at this guy for a while to make sure he wasn't having a seizure, then he cupped his fists and thanked him, then moved forward to prepare to take inventory of the armor materials on the receiving vehicle.
.
However, when Kai Cao's people stepped forward, the Zhao Gui Buqu who were guarding the chariots in front and behind did not retreat, but looked straight at their lord.
"Zhongshan Gong, this is..."
Seeing this scene, Li Tai frowned slightly, secretly thinking that the old boy is here to cause trouble?
Recently, there has been a lot of onlookers gathering outside the gate of Kai Cao's official office. Most of them were servants from various families who were watching and asking for news. At this time, they noticed that the atmosphere was different, so they all came together.
Zhao Gui met Li Tai's gaze, took a step forward without hesitation and said with a smile: "Although these materials cannot be called rare goods, since they are donated, I always hope to get a response.
The former is the general, Li Taiwei, etc. I am here today, and I have generously donated money to Kai Cao to help Li do his job. Can Li tell the truth and can the things that the people expect at the moment be achieved?
Will it be completed within this month?”
"Yes, I saw Kai Cao receiving the goods but not delivering them. Can they be delivered within the month?"
"Zhongshan Gong is very righteous, Governor Li, please answer truthfully!"
Upon hearing Zhao Gui's question, many people present echoed the question, hoping to hear a conclusive answer, and thanked Zhao Gui repeatedly for asking what they felt.
Zhao Gui stood there with a graceful and kind smile on his face. He waved slightly to the crowd in response, then turned back and said with a smile: "If the gap in work materials is still huge, no one but Li can handle it, and you don't have to."
If you are trying to be brave, you can report it to us. Among the young people in Taiwan, you are considered good and will not ruin your reputation just because you fail to achieve anything. But if you disappoint the people because you are tired of doing things, and you have to give up your orders, that is
It’s really a great crime!”
Damn it, he really got it this time!
Li Tai looked at Zhao Gui's smug look and became very unhappy. This guy forced himself to be associated with Yu Jin and Li Bi. The meaning is self-evident, but in the Kai Cao official office
He was a little bit intolerant of the fact that he used it to amuse him.
Because of Yu Wentai's previous instructions, Li Tai didn't intend to use this incident to blackmail Zhao Gui, but he couldn't prevent this guy from forcing his way in to show his face. Since his tone was so loud, what else could Li Tai have to be polite about?
of.
He first bowed to Zhao Guishen, and then said with a look of shame and gratitude: "Since Mr. Zhongshan asked, I dare not hide it. The gap in Kai Cao's labor and materials is indeed not small. After all, there has been a shortage of supplies since the beginning of the year. With my humble position, we share the armor."
It is indeed difficult for the people of Cao to take care of everything, but since Duke Zhongshan is generous and generous, they will surely be able to get what they want. I ask Duke Zhongshan to go into the straight hall and sit high, and I will humble myself and report the troubles of the case in detail."
When Zhao Gui heard this, his cheeks trembled, but he didn't say much. He was greeted by Li Taigong and walked into the official office. The people on the street behind him kept cheering.
After a while, Zhao Guicai came out again, with a somewhat unsightly look on his face, but when he saw the expectant eyes of everyone on the street, he still squeezed out a smile and waved his hands: "Everyone returns to the master, everyone is safe in the house.
The gift is to be delivered, let’s attend the grand reading together!”
Everyone was even more excited when they heard this. Some hurriedly returned home to report the news, while others followed Zhao Gui's team all the way and applauded.
When Zhao Gui was marching out of the city surrounded by the crowd, several powerful slaves on the left side of the road came forward and crossed their arms and said: "My husband is holding a banquet in his villa in the east of the city, and I sincerely invite Mr. Zhongshan to come and be a guest."
Zhao Gui was naturally too lazy to pay attention to such a hidden invitation, but when he saw the servant handing over the talisman, he pondered for a while before nodding: "Lead the way."
The group of people rode horses in the eastern suburbs of the city, and soon came to a manor built on a hillside and in a valley. There were several people standing in front of the manor, and the leader was Yuchi Gang.
