When the people present heard Yu Wenqiu's question, they immediately cheered up and looked at Li Tai, wanting to see how he would respond.
So many people came to greet Li Tai today not just to express respect, but more importantly to get to know his personality and style in person.
Although the situation in Longyou could not be said to be peaceful and without disputes before, it was still relatively stable. Now that there is an additional person named Li Tai whose status cannot be ignored, everyone will inevitably be curious about what he will bring to the situation in Longyou.
What kind of variables will lead to unacceptable personnel disputes?
Before he entered the town, he first arrested a county commander in Lueyang County. No matter what the reason was, it can't help but make people wonder. Especially those who are subordinate to him in official positions.
I was even more worried that this commander might be difficult to get along with.
Li Tai knew what everyone present was thinking, and did not care whether Yu Wenqiu was testing or trying to make trouble. He just smiled and replied: "I know where the Yang Ling mentioned by Nan'an is. When I passed through Lueyang before, I will
He was summoned as a guide to accompany us here, and he is currently in the team. But I really don’t know whether Yang Ling is a criminal or not.”
As he spoke, he turned around and waved to the team behind him. The short and stocky Yang Ling, who was blocked by other guards, hurriedly stepped forward, first crossed his arms and bowed to Li Tai, and then bowed to Yu Wenqiu.
"Thank you very much, Lord Nan'an, for your concern. I have escorted you all the way. I didn't come to worship you in time. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
When Yu Wenqiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. This was very different from what he had heard. He looked at Yang Ling full of doubts.
"I know that your two masters and servants have a deep friendship. Yang Sima will first settle the relationship with your old master before returning to the team and waiting for orders."
Li Tai lowered his head and said to Yang Ling, asking this guy to explain himself to his old master.
Although he arrested Yang Ling, it was only because this guy was rude and offended him first, and he did not treat Yang Ling as a prisoner. It was also to avoid siding with certain personnel without understanding the situation.
the opposite of.
In the final analysis, it was because he saw the strong smell of barbarians in Lueyang County, so Li Tai did not have a strong desire for justice. Even if Yang Ling was really a slave to the common people, it was nothing more than an internal conflict between the Di and Qiang people.
There is no need to arbitrarily divide justice or evil, the key is to see which one is more useful.
Yang Ling and Yu Wen Qiuxing walked not far away and began to communicate quietly. Li Taize, under the introduction of Li Tun, greeted everyone present one by one. His attitude was modest and easy-going, and he was not eager to establish a solitary image that he did not want to approach strangers.
Everyone came forward to greet him one after another, but they were inevitably full of doubts in their hearts. Everyone was extremely curious about what happened in Lueyang County before.
I obviously heard that a very serious conflict broke out between Yang Ling and this Li Sanqi, so why did he become a simple guide now? Moreover, judging from Yang Ling's demeanor, he seemed to be in awe of this Li Sanqi.
Could it be that he was tamed in such a short time?
Yu Wenqiu and Yang Ling, who looked familiar to everyone here and were chatting privately, also returned. There was no clue on their expressions. But after returning, Yu Wenqiu greeted Li Tai with a fist in his arms and said solemnly: "
The question I asked before was because I was rash, and I only came out of my house because I was afraid that he would be arrogant and disrespectful, and I asked him urgently because he was angry with the superior officer. I did not mean to interfere with Li Sanqi's affairs, so I ask Li Sanqi to forgive me."
After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said: "The words of Duke Nan'an are serious. I have not been deeply involved in the situation here, and I will never trample on the plans of the predecessors to show my own ability. If I don't have a broad view, I will be brief, and if I don't have a lot of experience, I will be cautious."
No matter what the situation is, I hope to get some pointers and corrections from those who have gone before me."
When Yu Wenqiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand to signal Li Tai to mount his horse and said with a smile: "No wonder Li Sanqi has received the care and love of the late Grand Master and other benevolent elders. His words and deeds are really admirable. I also
I need to learn a lot from you. But it is not convenient to talk freely on this road, so please mount your horse and start another journey for the time being, so as not to keep Lord Hanoi waiting in the mansion for a long time."
So the group continued on the road. In addition to the state officials who were traveling with them, there were also thousands of armored soldiers following them. They were full of magnificence. On the way, they occasionally encountered business groups traveling, but they all hurriedly avoided leaving the road.
While fighting for the trip, there was no shortage of people standing on both sides of the road and loudly asking who the high-ranking officials were traveling for.
After traveling out of Longguan, Li Tai clearly felt that Longyou was desolate, sparsely populated, and simple in scenery, which was not much different from other states in northern Shaanxi. However, after traveling out of Lueyang River and entering the Wei River Basin, the surrounding scenery
The scene soon became lively.
There are constantly groups of merchants traveling from east to west on the road, or because the army is currently preparing for war, there are also many Han and Hu armed groups. On both sides of the Weishui River, vast manor docks continue to appear, with relatively large scales.
The similar ones in the pass are only bigger and not smaller.
By the time Shangfeng City was vaguely in sight, there were not only manor docks where rich people lived in enclosures on both sides of the Wei River, but also villages and cities where ordinary people lived, scattered in an orderly manner among the river valleys and wilderness.
In the evening, smoke rose from everywhere, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene. Seeing these pastoral scenery, Li Tai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people's livelihood in Qinzhou under the rule of Duguxin was guaranteed, at least not
He needs to be able to reclaim wasteland in a barren land and care for the refugees like he did in northern Shaanxi.
As the military and political center of Qinzhou, Shangfeng City is the largest town in Long. Its scale is quite large, and it is like many large city and fortresses at the time. It is not a single city, but a group of town buildings, spanning across
On both sides of the Wei River, the fortification buildings also had certain functional divisions for peasants, farmers, industry and commerce.
There are two core buildings among these fortifications, namely Fangcheng on the north bank and Qinzhou Fucheng on the south bank.
The Fang City was stationed with state soldiers, including many powerful chiefs and their cronies, and was the military center of the entire Qinzhou and even Longyou. The Fang City was the political center where major government offices such as state and county offices were gathered.
Others include craftsmen's workshops, residential towns, etc., and even city fortresses specially designed for passing traders to rest and stay. Added up, it is said that the soldiers and civilians gathered here alone have exceeded half of Qinzhou's total.
.
When everyone arrived here, it was already getting dark. The sergeants dispersed and returned to camp, while the other sergeants followed Li Tai into the city. When they entered the city, Dugu Xin was returning from an inspection.
"You entered the country by yourself, and you actually lost half of my popularity in the city. All the officials came out to welcome you, and the military and government were almost at a standstill! With the support of the people, you must put your talents to use in this town, so that you can live up to the people's high expectations!"
When Duguxin came in, he got off his horse, walked up to Li Tai, patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said, then turned to look at the crowd present, and said loudly: "Li Lang, he is from a famous family in Longxi."
That's enough, we are from the same hometown as you and many others.
He was well-known in Guanzhong before, and he was loved by the officials and people wherever he performed. I invited him several times, and even gave him a daughter to please him, before finally recruiting him to the town. You, the people in charge, must not underestimate my good assistant, and hope that we can work together
With continued strength, this will bring more benefits to the countryside!"
After hearing this, everyone all agreed with great enthusiasm, and many people couldn't help but be envious after actually seeing Li Tai being cared for and promoted by Dugu Kaifu.
Then Duguxin held Li Tai's hand with a smile and walked into the city. As he walked, he introduced the architectural layout of the city to Li Tai, his expression and tone were quite contented.
He is indeed proud of it. When he settled here at the beginning of the year, although it could not be said to be a barren land, the state governance situation was also in a mess. There were almost no registered residents in the state. The Di and Qiang tribes were in constant riots. Government orders could not be issued outside the state capital.
This geography is almost useless.
After several years of unremitting rectification, the military and political situation has been greatly improved. The masses are clamoring for support and order has been restored. Compared with the previous chaotic scene, it seems like a completely different world.
Dugu Xin is not a frivolous and shallow person. He usually does not brag about his achievements and achievements, but now he can't help but show them off to Li Tai. It is really because of his excellent son-in-law.
This makes him feel a lot of pressure, so he has to show off his achievements to maintain his dignity as an elder.
It's just that Li Tai has never seen the old state of Qinzhou. Now when he visits the current capital of Qinzhou, he has little impression due to the lack of comparison between before and after. He even vaguely feels that it is nothing more than this.
The whole city seems to be quite large, but the division of functional areas is in a mess. There is no overall systematic planning at all, and the differences between the old and new areas between different areas are obvious and huge. It can be seen that the city was not built at one time, and there are obvious differences in many places.
The grafting adds traces, which makes the city lack the beauty of the whole, and it looks like a patchwork and stitching.
Fortunately, Duguxin was unable to listen to Li Tai's voice. If he knew that the city of Qinzhou he was so proud of had been slandered by Li Tai as a suture monster, he would be extremely depressed.
The group marched into the state capital in a mighty manner and sat down in separate seats according to their respective official ranks. Dugu Xin took the seat at the head of the hall, with Li Tai and Yu Wenqiu on the left and right.
Although they already knew each other, Duguxin still introduced the two of them to each other, expressing his hope that they could get along harmoniously.
Although Yu Wenqiu is now the governor of Southern Qinzhou rather than an official of Qinzhou, Duguxin is still the governor of ten states in Longyou, so he is still a subordinate of Duguxin.
Although the governors of the ten states in Longyou sound very majestic, the administrative divisions at the Western Wei state level are already chaotic and unstable. For example, one state in Qinzhou is divided into three states: east, north, and south.
What was originally one state has now become four states. Some are to restrict the power of Fangzhen, some are to place officials in charge, but not many are really based on administrative considerations.
In addition to Yu Wenqiu, the governor of Southern Qin Prefecture, there was also Hou Mo Chenqiong, the governor of Northern Qin Prefecture, who was the younger brother of Hou Mo Chen Chong.
This Hou Mo Chen Qiong did not come to greet Li Tai, but was leading his troops to follow Dugu Xin to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion. However, he was not as arrogant as his brother, and was quite polite when facing Li Tai.
Li Tai saw that Hou Mo Chen Qiong had already become the governor of a state when he was not yet established, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted to see how messed up he was. However, when he thought again, his actual power in Longyou was greater than that of the governor of Northern Qin State,
I felt relieved in my heart, thinking that Xiao Hou must continue to work hard, otherwise if your brother messes with me again one day, I will beat you!
Apart from these two people, the rest are officials from the two mansions under Dugu Xin. Among them, Dugu Xin also introduced the more important ones again. It was not superfluous, but to introduce Li to Li from the perspective of him as the chief officer.
Tai pointed out the key personnel points that Longyou needs to pay attention to now.
Li Tai only knew everyone briefly before, but now that he heard Dugu Xin's special introduction, he secretly remembered the names of the people named.
Among them was Shi Huangfu Mu, the former governor of Qin who was replaced by him. He was from a wealthy and stable family. He was of the same clan as Li Tai's old colleague Huangfu Fan but from a different branch. Huangfu Fan's family had long moved to Jingzhao, while Huangfu Mu's family had always stayed in their hometown.
.
When Shi Ning became the governor of Jingzhou, Huangfu Mu was recommended by him and became Duguxin's staff, and he followed him to Qinzhou. After serving for so many years, he was appointed governor of Qin, but he turned around and was replaced by Li Tai.
If it is replaced, whoever is replaced will probably be unhappy.
Huangfu Mu did not have a good look towards Li Tai, and he did not go out to greet Li Tai. Even in the banquet hall, Dugu Xin specially invited people to come, which shows that he had a lot of opinions about this in his heart.
There was another official who was replaced by Li Tai, named Zhang Hao. He was a man from Wuwei, but unlike Huangfu Mu, he did not have the same emotional resistance to Li Tai. They had been chatting happily together before, if Dugu Xin had not deliberately
It was pointed out that Li Tai didn't even know that he had replaced him, and he seemed to have no grudges at all.
It is difficult to distinguish between two people with completely opposite attitudes. Huangfu Mu's attitude is admittedly a bit disrespectful, but it also shows that he really values the position he has earned for many years of service. But Zhang Hao is not open-minded.
Like ordinary people, I don't know if he really doesn't care about the gain or loss of his position, or if he has other ambitions in his heart.
Tianshui County is the main jurisdiction of Qinzhou, and most of the personnel in the county are concentrated around Fengcheng. Therefore, there was no arrangement for county guards before and the state government directly took charge of the affairs. Li Tai also avoided offending another person. But he wanted to
If you want to effectively exercise the power of the prefect, you must make a deep cut with the affairs of the state government, which will inevitably lead to chaos.
In short, if Li Tai wants to establish a solid foothold in Qinzhou, even with Dugu Xin's support, there will inevitably be some personnel disputes and frictions. What's more, he can feel that Dugu Xin is quite satisfied with the current personnel arrangements, and I'm afraid that too
They would not be happy to see themselves sparking a power struggle among their base.
Li Tai didn't care much about this. He himself had no plans to occupy Longyou for a long time, so he had to seize the opportunity to import human resources from this side into Guanzhong.
Because Li Tai was traveling all the way, and the government was busy with military affairs recently, this banquet did not last too long. When everyone was full, Duguxin dismissed the crowd, leaving only Li Tai.
