If Li Tai understood it correctly, this matter was tantamount to turning the Kuli River area into his own private domain, allowing him to do whatever he wanted here.
This may sound a bit unbelievable, but in fact, it is a routine operation in this era, especially among some Di and Qiang tribes and other miscellaneous Hu tribes. The imperial court and the Bafu itself do not have corresponding household registration information, and the population of these Hu people is also unknown.
Unaccustomed to accepting the rule of the government, the Hu chiefs were given the power to control the left officials, allowing them to manage independently.
Similar situations not only exist in border states, but also in the core areas of Guan Nei in Jisi counties.
For example, the Di tribe who moved from Longyou to Huazhou in the ninth year of Datong still lives in a small area near Shayuan. They do not communicate frequently with the outside world and do not accept the control of the local government. They only need to bear the tyranny.
Labor and military service tasks issued by the government.
If the Xihe County established by overseas Chinese has a similar existence, it would undoubtedly be great news for Li Tai.
First of all, he had rebuilt it from a wasteland, and he had great hopes and expectations in his heart. If he couldn't leave it to the hands of the people he chose to continue running it, he really couldn't rest assured.
Secondly, he has more and more personnel under his control. Without a stable distribution center to operate, the dispatching efficiency will become very low and it will be difficult to achieve the energy efficiency that it should have.
The last and most important point is that as a powerful military leader, it does not even have a stable base. The level is too low. Even basic gathering and training of troops is a problem. How can it continue to develop and grow?
Of course, Li Tai is still different from ordinary powerful chiefs and commanders.
Although these people have strong independence, their power and influence are also firmly locked in their own tribes. Once they leave their tribes, their deterrence will be sharply reduced.
This is not the case with Li Tai. He is already a subordinate of the domineering government and comes from a famous family. He has considerable connections and influence in both the government and the public. If he can obtain a piece of land where he can develop relatively independently, the personnel response will be greater than the average.
The chiefs were much stronger.
The military system of the Western Wei Dynasty was not different from that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Except for a few generals with relatively special status, such as Dugu Xin and Li Hu, other generals rarely stayed in one area for a long time and formed a local force. After all, they themselves were guest ships.
Kansai, and after successive battles, the troops also suffered heavy losses.
Li Tai was able to get a stable piece of land to cultivate production and train armored soldiers. Although this treatment is not unique, it can definitely be regarded as one of the few.
The reason why Yu Wentai made this arrangement is probably mainly because of Dugu Xin's face. After all, no matter how much you appreciate Li Tai, there must be a standard. If a young man is good, he must allocate a piece of land to him. Then this
The entire territory of the Western Wei Dynasty is not divided enough.
Dugu Xin has been operating in Longyou for many years, and there is a vague tendency to divide Shaanxi with Bafu. If he cannot show enough sincerity, Dugu Xin will certainly not accept it easily.
According to the original history, Yu Wentai used the excuse of Hou Jing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to surrender to summon Dugu Xin back from Longyou, and then replaced Dugu Xin with Director Yuwen. And because of the invasion of Rouran, he ordered Dugu Xin to return to Longyou.
Yangcheng was on guard against Rouran.
The details of this process are not clearly recorded, but I think it will not be too pleasant, and it will inevitably be accompanied by various frictions, collisions and compromises.
Duguxin is the first person to be promoted among the six pillar kingdoms after Yu Wentai. This may be part of the deal, but he didn't expect that so many pillar kingdoms would pop up in a very short period of time. But I don't regret it anymore.
Use it, because the situation has evolved to the point where if you dare to beep blindly, you will be hacked to death by Li Yuan.
Nowadays, Yuwentai launched the campaign earlier than in history, and there is no strong collision between them, because there is Li Tai, a medium that both parties are relatively accepting of.
For Yuwentai, if he could lift the current situation of Duguxin's autocratic power over Longyou, he would not mind adding some power to Li Tai. After all, the situation in northern Shaanxi was originally created by Li Tai. Even if the Bafu is taken back, will it be able to be effectively operated?
It is also an unknown quantity.
Li Tai's own qualifications were much shallower than Duguxin's, and Jinyang and his party proved that he was capable of using northern Shaanxi as a base to cause harm to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and northern Shaanxi's influence on the situation in Guanzhong was far less profound than that of Longyou.
Moreover, locating Li Tai's power in northern Shaanxi is also conducive to real-time monitoring of the development of personnel under his command.
For Duguxin, the situation was much more helpless. Since Daxingtai could no longer tolerate him continuing to control Longyou, he was not allowed to return to the court to manage personnel. He wanted to stay in Longyou and watch Yuwen helplessly.
The director took over everything he had managed in the past few years and even helped.
Even if he struggles and resists, it will only make him look better, but it will not change the essence of the matter unless he can make up his mind to completely break with Daxingtai.
But today Daxingtai is willing to be more generous and transfer part of the power he lost in Longyou to Li Tai, making his son-in-law's situation more relaxed and his power more powerful. This can finally be called
A comforting favor.
When Li Tai thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Today, Guanzhong is still the home ground of these North Town veterans. If he hadn't been deeply involved in the power disputes and distribution at the top of these town soldiers, he would have worked even harder than he does now.
Even if your merits are several times greater, you can never expect to receive such treatment!
Li Tai also had mixed feelings in his heart when he thought that his father-in-law, Long You, had been running the business for several years, but in the end it was only replaced by an overseas-owned county government and handed over to him. Li Tai felt that the dowry was indeed a bit heavy.
He must also do his best to maximize the value of this overseas county, greatly promote the development of his own power, and ensure that his father-in-law's hard work will not be wasted.
Although Yuwentai only allocated a narrow area of the Kuli River Basin centered on Heishui Fangcheng, for Li Tai, who was well aware of the situation in northern Shaanxi and had already made many plans, as long as he could control this area
, then the vast northern Shaanxi and even Hetao areas including Sanxia Prefecture will be under control.
Although this area is vast and sparsely populated on the whole, its strategic value and natural resources are very considerable. It was the basic base of the Hu Xia regime back then. Compared with the current Western Wei regime, it can be said to be half of the country.
Of course, Li Tai does not need to actually control all these places, but as long as he can firmly control the safety and vitality of the area, it will be a powerful political bargaining chip in his hands at any time.
If anyone wants to provoke him, they have to think about whether they can afford to provoke him.
Li Tai was so obsessed with his thoughts that he didn't bother to go to the back hall to meet the young lady. He handed over paper and pen and started writing and drawing in the hall, through various ideas and plans to strengthen the importance of Blackwater Fangcheng as a regional center.
, and most of the day passed before I knew it.
Because he was so fascinated, Li Tai didn't even notice the passage of time. In the evening, Duguxin, who had been sleeping for most of the time, woke up and heard that Li Tai was still in the residence. Looking back on his drunken state in the morning, he felt a little embarrassed, so he secretly
After some mental construction, I went to the central hall.
When he walked into the central hall, he saw Li Taizheng looking at the papers in the case, and he didn't say anything to disturb him. He walked forward slowly, curiously picked up the papers scattered on the ground, and looked at them for a long time.
Still don't know why.
He did not know that in order to avoid unknowingly leaking some information that should not be revealed to others, Li Tai had already developed the habit of encrypting his daily paintings. It did not require any advanced encryption skills. Some nouns
Substitutions, code references, and even the use of some gag words can make people confused.
When he heard the sound next to him, he woke up and turned around to see Dugu Xin. He hurriedly stood up and asked, "When will my father-in-law enter the hall?"
"Just came here."
Duguxin was still a little embarrassed when facing Li Tai. He waved his hand for him to sit down. He seemed to think of something again. He turned around and took a leather bag from the servant behind him, threw it on the case in front of Li Tai and said: "I sent a message to Yang before."
"Zi Yu said that I had time to come back to congratulate you as the wedding was approaching during the Chinese New Year, so I sent you a congratulatory gift first. It's not a treasure, but it's also very interesting."
Li Tai heard the sound of gold and jade clinking against the bag, so he touched it but it was soft. When he took out the contents, he saw it was pitch black and unattractive. He held it in his hand and weighed it before he suddenly felt blessed and said in his heart:
"Is this coal jade?"
"It's quite insightful."
After hearing this, Dugu Xin laughed again and said: "This kind of thing does not often appear in the world. Only a dozen kilograms of rough material can be produced from such a large mine in Xi'an Prefecture. It can be polished and carved to make jewelry talismans. It is hard, light and durable."
But it’s not durable. If you lose it and it’s still there, it’s become a national treasure.
Li Tai had previously planned to carve a seal that was even more powerful than his father-in-law's. The official title had not yet surpassed that of his father-in-law, but the materials had already been sent by Yang Zhong. He felt that the world was really wonderful and couldn't help but smile: "Yang
Kaifu is so polite. When I return to Huazhou, I will definitely pay him a visit."
If he remembered correctly, his brother-in-law Yang Jian was still being kept in a nunnery at the moment, so he would have to take a look at it if he took the time.
Dugu's confidence subsided slightly, and he immediately said to Li Tai: "What do you think about the affairs of Xihe County that you said about the former Communist Party? If you stay behind, do you have any ideas for reference?"
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded, and immediately said: "This attack on Jinyang can prove that Beizhou's business has become quite patterned in the past few years. It would be a pity if people are in a political famine. If we can get the Blackwater Fengcheng as a
Fulcrum, continuing all the old personnel plans, will be of great benefit to the country and the family. I have also weighed it up and feel that Gao Bin and Gao Sima are worthy of being the county governor."
