Leaving aside other matters for the moment, a very urgent problem faced by Li Tai is that his working relationship was damaged by Yu Wentai to Longyou, so the personnel arrangements based on the Luoshui front line, including the three defense cities, will definitely be affected.
Great impact.
He had the foresight before and did not put all business arrangements on the official stage. Rural community organizations such as Qumeng have a very solid foundation of public sentiment, so they will not be affected by Li Tai's departure.
Too big an impact.
He also transferred the resources controlled by the Dushui Administrative Office to the Canal Alliance in advance, and made a series of adjustments and arrangements around his family's industry. No matter who succeeds the Dushui Administrative Office, he must respect the established order of the countryside.
The two sides must be at peace with each other, otherwise the flow of the Luo River will be cut off in a matter of minutes, and the armies will be deprived of food.
It should be noted that today's Luoshui, especially the people's sentiments in the lower reaches of Luoshui, are not in the state of dispersion and poor communication when Li Tai first served as the envoy of Dushui. With the continuous water conservancy construction of the Dushui Administration Bureau and the Canal League, the rural areas
The powerful people are fully united, and their interests are intertwined. It can be said that the bones are broken and the tendons are connected.
Moreover, the local tycoons in this area are not just local tycoons. With the construction and development of the military system, the descendants of these tycoons have also joined in, and now they are truly armed tycoons.
Some of the armed forces of these powerful men formed Li Tai's direct lineage, some joined the Sixth Army with Zhou Changming, and some stayed in the defense of Shibao and other places. Although the strength was not enough to change the day, they
He is definitely a local snake that can fly and dive.
This kind of local force with people who have food, land, guns, and organization is the most troublesome. Except for Li Tai, the founder who single-handedly promoted it, it would be difficult for anyone else to completely control it.
Even including Bafu, unless there are no longer water conservancy officials dedicated to managing Luoshui water conservancy, as long as you still want to control Luoshui water conservancy to a certain extent and obtain considerable benefits, you must fully consider this nostalgia. The safest way is to
Selection is carried out within the alliance.
Li Tai does not need to worry too much about maintaining order within the countryside here. However, communication with the outside world is still not something that the current local powerful are capable of.
For example, at the end of the 10th year of Datong, Li Tai organized the powerful people in the countryside to carry out large-scale textile production, based on his in-depth control of Luoshui water conservancy and the super-high efficiency of the large water conservancy spinning wheel, coupled with the powerful efforts of the powerful people in the countryside to increase productivity.
Mobilization led to a surge in textile production in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River around Shangyuan.
Although in the current world, silk and cloth are currency, when money is printed, there must be sufficient supply of goods to generate real purchasing power and effectively improve the lives of villagers.
Such a large amount of money and goods transactions is definitely not something that ordinary powerful people in the countryside can handle. They must have the ability to dispatch resources across regions and have enough strength to ensure the safety of long-distance transportation of goods.
In the past eleven years of the unification, Li Tai also relied on the donations and supplies of the powerful Hu tribes such as Diaoyin Liu and others who had come to rely on him to meet the trading needs of the villagers and make this industry common to all involved.
Have a good year.
With tangible benefits in return, the scale of textile production in the township has increased again this year. Even since the second half of last year, the size of the mulberry gardens around Shangyuan has expanded by nearly one-third.
The county chiefs were happy to see the results, and reported the achievements to the Taiwan government as a result of encouraging farming and weaving. However, they did not care whether the increased production of cloth could be exchanged for sufficient production materials.
In order to ensure the continued stability and orderly development of the rural order, Li Tai had to find a market for these new fabric productions. No matter where he lived, this was a responsibility he could not shirk.
In addition, the three defense cities and the newly added northern defense city must not be abandoned halfway. Therefore, no matter what the political struggle at the upper level is like and how Li Tai will be punished, he cannot just pat his butt and leave.
After all this summing up, Li Tai felt a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't help but feel angry because of it. He felt that these old guys, including Yu Wentai, only cared about their own power disputes and did not care about the stability of the society at all.
If I hadn't been such a brave and loyal minister who put the overall situation first, the Western Wei Dynasty would have broken up and divided the luggage! Of course, Li Tai wouldn't feel it was a pity even if the group broke up. Anyway, it would be over sooner or later, but the problem is that if the group breaks up now
, His luggage can’t be divided into large portions!
Originally, Li Licheng was arranged by Li Tai to join the Taifu to replace him as Kai Cao and join the army. He didn't even have time to return to Chang'an during the Chinese New Year. Li Tai specially sent a letter to him, asking him to come to Beijing as soon as possible while he was still in Beijing.
Let Li Licheng serve as an official, and strive to obtain a more powerful official position to take care of the personnel industry here.
When Li Licheng heard Li Tai's plan, he was immediately excited. He had a desire to achieve success, otherwise he would not have followed Li Tai back to Huazhou last year.
This kid has a tougher background than Li Tai, and has a lot of care from relatives and friends, but he is far less successful than Li Tai. The care from relatives and friends is mainly just for daily life, but the support they can give in terms of future is very limited.
"Boshan, what kind of official position do you plan to let me take on this time? Although I am not senior enough to bear the heavy responsibility, as long as you arrange it for me, I will try my best to do it well and never let down the opportunity you give me!"
Although Li Licheng didn't spend much time with Li Tai, he admired Li Tai very deeply, especially after seeing Shang Yuan's huge family property in Huazhou and casually arranged for him to take an official position in the Taiwanese government with just a few words.
In his mind, he only felt that Li Tai was omnipotent.
Li Tai burst out laughing after hearing this. Hearing what this kid meant, he wouldn't doubt it even if he said he would arrange a position as a third official for him, but his current energy really betrayed Li Licheng's trust in him.
He didn't say how powerful he was before, but even the position of Li Mu, the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, was designated with one word, including Cui Quan's position as the governor of Beihua Prefecture. Although he was beaten by Daxingtai, he was finally appointed.
My wish came true.
But at that time, he was a new rich man in the hegemony, a confidant of Daxingtai, so he naturally said what he wanted, and everything was easy to discuss. But now he is inferior to a phoenix, and he no longer has the same say as before, so he wants to make arrangements for Li Licheng
The new job is quite troublesome.
Although Li Licheng is older than Li Taiqian and entered the customs earlier, he does not have the talents and opportunities like Li Tai. He only became an official last year and was awarded a literary scholar based on his family background. He has no military or political appointment at all.
resume.
If it were in previous years when the Western Wei Dynasty was still in chaos, it would not be difficult to arrange an official position with real power, as long as the power was strong enough and the relationship was strong enough.
But with the issuance and implementation of the six-article edict, the selection and appointment of official positions became more rigorous. Even though Yu Wentai wanted to cause trouble for Duguxin and Li Tai, the appointment of official positions for Li Tai was not arranged casually, but was in line with Li Tai's wishes.
A resume of meritorious service.
Li Licheng's qualifications cannot be said to be meager, only to have none. It is quite a headache to arrange an official position for him that can actually play a role. Especially when all the power is in the Bafu, and he has completely lost power in the Bafu.
Under the circumstances, it will be even more difficult.
There is no need to think about the way to the Taifu side for the time being. Even if Li Tai still has some personal friendships, he is too embarrassed to bother others now that Daxingtai is clearly targeting him. After all the friendships are exhausted, things may not be able to work out yet.
Arranged.
A living person will not be choked to death by urine. Since there is no way to get through the Bafu, there is still the imperial court. Although the imperial court has been almost completely emptied out at the moment, there are still three kilograms of nails in the rotten ship. If you look carefully, you will always find something valuable.
thing.
When it comes to corruption, Li Tai is a professional. He had little interest in the Chang'an court before, so he has not paid much attention to it. But now the situation is forcing him to sort out the personnel structure of the court, and he quickly found the person.
Two places with considerable wealth and power are Guang Luxun and Taifu.
In the Western Wei Dynasty, Guang Luxun was responsible for managing the offerings of royal meals and other materials and the management of royal gardens and palaces distributed in various places. The Taifu, also known as the Shaofu, was mainly responsible for the creation of various imperial utensils and various palace utensils.
Both the workshop and the Fangji craftsmen are under management.
This may not be specific enough, but take the Wanshou Palace Supervisor that Zhao Gui's son will serve as an example.
When the emperor returned to Chang'an from Huazhou a few years ago, he built a Wanshou Palace in the north of Shayuan as a temporary residence. Later, it was gradually expanded into a large-scale palace garden.
In addition to being a temporary accommodation palace, the Wanshou Palace also housed many men and women who were not slaves. Naturally, these soldiers did not live in the palace with good food and drink, but were responsible for making various kinds of food.
The utensils include daily necessities such as crowns, shoes, and hats, as well as military equipment such as bows, saddles, and horses.
In addition, although the rent transfer in Kansai is summarized and used by Bafu Duzhi, it is only a regular tax. In addition, there are other local objects and tribute items that are not included in Taifu, such as Xinfengli, Jingfu
Local specialties such as Zhaowa also required Guang Luxun and the Taifu to measure and use them, either directly for tribute or as raw materials for processing.
The Bafu mainly controls military and political power, but these imperial affairs are not all under control and remain within the court.
Li Tai could see the benefits, and so could others. Therefore, these two parts of official affairs had already been divided up by the Yuan and Wei clans and some noble clans in Beijing, making it more difficult for outsiders to intervene.
But this was not a problem for Li Tai. He did not dare to pull out his teeth from Yuwen Tai's tiger's mouth, but he lacked any respect for these Yuan and Wei clans.
What's more, there is a ready breakthrough point, which is Guangling Wang Yuanxin, who has been hanging out with Gao Zhongmi recently. The relationship does not have to expire, but of course you have to step in quickly to get a share of the pie.
