After receiving the letter from the Taiwanese government, Li Taidang ended his marriage leave and returned to the city as soon as possible.
When he returned to Taifu, he noticed that the atmosphere was much more solemn than before. The most obvious thing was that the number of Zhisu guards in Taifu had more than doubled.
The guards in the Taifu Center come from the Chinese Army, including of course the Houjun Military Mansion commanded by Li Tai. The Fourth Military Mansion of the Chinese Army must supply three to five thousand officers and men to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army in each guard cycle, and then these officers and men
The arrangements for their accommodation and guarding are made by Daxingtai through the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army.
Although Li Tai was not in the military mansion during this period because of his marriage, there were still people reporting on the daily affairs in the military mansion in a timely manner.
It has just entered April, and there is still one month left before the next change of guard guards. The military mansions have not sent new Chinese army officers and soldiers to Taifu. Therefore, these additional guard personnel can only be distributed everywhere. Now
Concentrated in Taifu.
From this point we can see that in the current situation of confrontation between the East and the West, the Western Wei Dynasty is still in a strategically passive situation.
During this period of time, there were no new changes in the situation in the Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty. Daxingtai Yuwentai did not put forward new ideas and plans on a series of issues such as whether to intervene in the chaos in Henan, how to intervene, etc., but just because of the Eastern Wei Dynasty
In response to a military operation, the military affairs of Huazhou Bafu, the core of the regime, underwent a very large adjustment.
However, where this adjustment is directed and what its significance is, even generals like Li Tai who are already at the core do not know why. This shows that the Western Wei regime still does not have a clear understanding of the opportunities represented by the current chaos in Henan.
, still in a state of confusion and stress, with intracranial orgasms but the reality is still confused.
Of course, it is no wonder that Yuwentai, the civil and military ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty, after all, even Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty must still be buzzing, feeling at a loss when facing internal and external troubles.
When Li Tai returned to Taifu, Daxingtai was convening important officials in the government to discuss internal affairs. Li Bi, Shuo Hui and other Chinese and foreign military governors were still waiting in the outer hall.
When he walked in and greeted several people, Li Bi apologized to him for not being able to go to Chang'an in person to celebrate his wedding, and said he would visit him in his new residence in the city later.
Several other people also teased the newlywed Li Tai in a relaxed manner. There was no sense of urgency that the war was about to come. However, this atmosphere of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside could be regarded as a warm-up for the next change in the situation.
Before Li Tai could sit down here, Prince Zhi, a subordinate in the Tai Mansion, hurried into the room, looked at him and said, "The Lord has ordered you to come in and see him as soon as you return to the mansion."
After hearing this, Li Tai stopped looking for a seat, bowed his hands to a few people here, and then walked out with Wang Zizhi to the straight hall.
"Although this Duke of Xihe is a young man, he is very talented and is involved in both military and political affairs. In another twenty years, I am afraid that our generals will have to be punished by him!"
Seeing Li Tai's leaving figure, Da Xiwu, who was sitting in the room, sighed.
What Zhitang Zhongzheng is currently conducting is a Taiwanese government meeting. Although these veterans have made outstanding contributions, they are also isolated, including Li Bi, the big leader of the Chinese army.
Among the generals in charge of the army, only Yu Jin, who was the Chief of the Tai Prefecture and the Governor of Huazhou, was allowed to attend the meeting. The other one was Li Tai, who also served as the Secretary of Daxingtai, and now the Tai Prefecture is raising material reserves in Zhuzhou and County.
Government orders are mainly in his charge.
Da Xiwu said this not to express any dissatisfaction or to instigate conflict between the old man and the new man. He blackmailed Li Tai and got a lot of money. He was very willing to get close to this rich brother, so it was just a simple emotion.
However, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Da Xiwu's emotion still caused a slight change in the expressions of several people in the room. Perhaps they were already imagining the scene of being ordered to do so, and they felt somewhat uncomfortable.
At another table, Shuo Hui said with a smile: "Those who are capable work hard, isn't that good? A Liuba Rong is not unskilled, nor is he not brave after being on the front line for a long time, but he became a distinguished official after following Jin Yang and his entourage.
.
But with a talented colleague like Deboshan, there is no need to worry about punishment from above and below. He is a capable person who works hard and does everything. I can make achievements by focusing on attacking and killing. If I am ashamed to be under the minor category, I will disturb the house.
When his father-in-law is summoned to a banquet, he will also serve wine and food at the table below!"
Ah Liuba is Han Guo. After following Li Tai to attack Jinyang, he was awarded the title of Hussar, Kaifu and County Duke two years ago. He used to enter the pass from Heba Yue to quell the rebellion, and then transferred to
As for Daxingtai, he participated in all the Eastern and Western battles and performed well in them, but he still stepped into the ranks of senior generals in the Western Dynasty by working with Li Tai in this battle.
Live examples are the most convincing. Although the generals present do not need Li Tai to support them, they have to admit that working with Li Tai, a person with outstanding military and political talents, is at least more difficult than working with Li Tai.
It is much more reassuring to work with mediocre people and timid people.
As for the issue of official positions, it is indeed as Shuu Hui said. No matter how illustrious Li Boshan's official position is, he is still a junior in front of them because of Hanoi Duke Duguxin.
Not to mention the conversation here, when Li Taixing entered the main hall, the meeting had been going on for a while, and everyone's desks were piled with thick documents.
When Yu Wentai saw Li Taixing entering, he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite and pointed to his seat, indicating that he should prepare for the event quickly.
Nowadays, for Bafu, how external conditions change and how to respond is still a secondary matter. The key is to strengthen its own strength, especially the most basic reserve of money and grain. This is also the most important work content of Bafu administration this year.
Especially since the time when Hou Jing surrendered, Yu Wentai was like an old man with a coquettish concubine who poured all kinds of medicine into his stomach. As long as his subordinates proposed projects that could make money, he would immediately implement them.
A special campaign is being carried out at the moment, presided over by Lieutenant Yushi, which is to strictly investigate the activities of digging caves and statues in various states within the territory and examine whether there is any illegality in them.
As we all know, digging caves and making statues is a popular Buddhist worship activity among the people, and because it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it can only be carried out by powerful local families.
However, this activity is called worshiping the Buddha, but it is actually the creation and maintenance of local order. Naturally, it is also accompanied by the phenomenon of bullying the weak and squeezing the poor people. In particular, the evil Samana monks rely on their religious status to even local officials.
All the local tycoons have to endure their exploitation and oppression, let alone ordinary people.
Li Tai used Liu Shifo as an excuse to say that Daxingtai built a Buddhist temple in the territory. It can be said that it was the most exciting time for Yuwen Tai to make money since he came to rule Kansai. Today, the Bafu Central Army has been successfully reorganized, and in a large area
To a certain extent, it all benefited from this action.
People will inevitably have aftertaste after eating a delicious meal. The hungrier they are, the more they miss it.
Although Yu Wentai also knew that the money of the monks was not easy to move, he could not bear to be poor. In addition, the success of the previous operation made him realize that as long as there was a legitimate and suitable reason, even if the monks were touched, the whole society would be affected.
The turbulence caused is also limited and within the controllable range.
So this time he naturally set his sights on Salmon again, and directly targeted the cave-dwelling statues, which had a high degree of overlap and conflict with the use of manpower and material resources in military preparations, in order to put a layer of supervision on this matter.
Of course, it is not appropriate to directly prohibit this kind of thing or make it illegal. The current work content is to inspect the origins, titles, titles, etc. of the owners of the caves, monuments, etc., if there are Wanqi Chou slaves and other people who rebelled against the regime and were awarded the title
If you are a fake official, the relevant temples and rural households will be severely punished.
In today's Buddhist-reverent atmosphere, for believers, the creation of caves and statues is definitely a matter of honoring the ancestors and worthy of boasting in the village. Therefore, if their family members have any social honors, they will try their best to list them.
Contemporaries and future generations came to pay their respects.
So many years have passed since the series of rebellions in Kansai, but the Taiwanese government has brought up this old incident again to revive the old case. This is undoubtedly an act of hooliganism, but it does identify a small number of targets from the masses.
You said you have money, don't you think it's okay to eat and drink? You made a statue out of a hole to show off your wealth, but the thief took notice of you, so who does it depend on?
In short, the Taiwan government will first establish the legality of this behavior through this policy, and then expand the scope bit by bit. It can not only directly obtain income from investigating crimes and punishing stolen goods, but also slightly curb the practice of digging caves and making statues among the people.
The saved human and material resources will flow back into society and be invested in other things of practical value.
It's just that this initial goal was set too hard, and because it was so old, it has not yet achieved considerable benefits.
Next, several departments took turns to play things, all related to making money, and the methods were all varied. Generally speaking, they had some effects, but the effects were not very big. Some were the result of long-term efforts and short-term accumulation effects.
Then it's not big.
Soon it was Li Tai's department's turn to report, and Li Tai also took this time to browse the data compiled by his subordinates and memorize it by heart. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't read it, after all, he has two books of accounts.
, one for Taiwan and one for home. If you compare the two slightly, you will know where there are ghosts.
"The departments under my command have recently inspected the work of all the prefectures, counties, mountains, Zejindai, and all the official buildings, animal husbandry, and other properties to seek rent. Yongzhou, Huazhou, Beiyong... and other 17 prefectures all have rural people who should rent.
A total of 326 government properties were obtained, and the required money, food, and supplies were gradually collected. From then until mid-May, the various prefectures and counties were able to transport more than 3.2 million shi of supplies, supplies, and grain into the government...
"
Li Tai had already known all the data by heart, and now he got up and played it in detail.
However, when he finished speaking, Yu Wentai, who was sitting at the table and listening carefully, suddenly stood up and said in a surprised tone: "How much? More than three million stones?"
Hearing Yu Wentai's questioning tone, Li Tai was no longer so sure. He quickly lowered his head and browsed the data again, then raised his head again and replied: "It's more than three million stones, but the distance between the states is
Far and near, land and water consumption vary, the final amount of income can still be determined by the storage, but the total should not be less than three million shi."
"Okay, that's great! With such a huge amount of money coming into the house, everything in the future will be smooth sailing no matter what the plan is."
After getting this definite answer, Yuwentai raised his fist and slammed it on the case again. His excitement was beyond words. More than three million stone grains were considered a considerable amount of income for the current Bafu, especially in this period.
Now that Henan will have great things to do, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will provide help in times of need. With such an unexpected income, any subsequent planning for Henan's situation will be much easier.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Tai and laughed and said: "Boshan got married at home before, but he did not neglect his duties because of family affairs. He tried his best to raise such a huge sum of money for the Taiwan government! But everyone can do this.
, Why worry that the giant bandits will be hard to eliminate and the great unification will fail!"
As soon as these words came out, the subordinates of the Tai government in the hall were certainly envious of the praise Li Tai received, but the expressions of those who had done something before were more or less uncomfortable. Whether it was the comparison of each other's performance or the attitude of Da Xing Tai,
It seems to indicate that their stay here is unnecessary.
After Li Tai heard this compliment, he quickly bowed and said, "When I planned this time, I didn't expect that it would be so effective in such a short time. Although the matter was managed by the ministers and subordinates, the officials of the various states, counties and people also
The contribution is indispensable. If it weren't for the people who spared no effort to promote it to the people, the people would not know it.
More than three million stones of food and grain, behind each particle are the hearts of the people of Shangyi. The Lord declared and governed the country, and the officials of the various states and counties educated the territory. Only then can the government and the people be harmonious and work together to create great plans. This is what I took advantage of.
, I dare not receive such high praise from the Lord alone.”
Now he is not afraid of any trees that are luxuriant in the forest, and the wind will destroy them, but the key point is not as simple as it seems. The official property sold by the prefectures and counties and the goods collected by the Bafu are basically in his hands.
Hands twitching.
Everyone is happy with the situation at the moment, but if Yu Wentai blames other officials for their incompetence and provokes the officials who were punished to review, some problems will be exposed. So it is good for Li Tai to get benefits, and the honor must still be shared with everyone.
Yu Wentai was already in a good mood because of the huge amount of goods entering the warehouse, and Li Tai's comments and compliments about politics and people's hearts really touched his heart. He immediately became more and more cheerful and said in front of the audience: "This is
The words are indeed pertinent and appropriate. Because the country has good governance and proper coordination between the upper and lower levels, the country has abundant reserves and the wealth is stored among the people. Now that the country is in need, donations from all directions are sent. It is really a good thing! When I enter the court at the end of the year, I will ask Your Majesty to commend the good governance.
, all those who do things inside and outside will be rewarded with rank!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they all spoke in agreement. Yu Wentai, who was doing all kinds of rainbow fart slaps, became even more cheerful and almost lost himself. Only Li Tai smiled with emotion in his heart.
If all these money and grains are indeed collected from the private sector, it really shows that the people of Kansai are indeed confident in the politics and national destiny of the Western Wei Dynasty. But the problem is that most of them come from Li Tai's own granary.
Last year, he began to absorb grain from the entire Guanzhong area. At his peak, he accumulated more than 8 million shi of grain. Although subsequent consumption and circulation losses have greatly reduced, the amount imported to Taifu today is still less than half of what he owns.
He would really like to take the opportunity to sell more to the Taiwan government, but there are only so many high-quality assets in the states within the pass. If he keeps them all in his own pocket, the financial situation of subsequent states and counties will continue to be poor, which is naturally not in line with common development.
The principles of the Western Wei Dynasty, especially those in the Western Wei Dynasty, are famous for being brutal and unruly, so we have to stop it in moderation. I eat meat and everyone has to have a mouthful of soup to drink.
As for the remaining millions of stones of grain, there is no need to worry about the market price.
Food is the cornerstone of social stability, and people's survival is crucial. Although Guanzhong will still be in great trouble in the next few years, the Hou Jing's Rebellion will stir up unrest in the world, and accumulating grain to prepare for chaos will also become a mainstream trend of thought. Li Tai thought again
With so much food in hand, even money can't buy it.
Naturally, Yu Wentai didn't know that a wealthy man like Li Tai was secretly taking care of him. Or even though he knew that Li Tai had considerable assets, he never expected that Li Tai could control so many resources in just a few years. Therefore, this policy
The implementation of the project was so successful that he was overjoyed.
With such a huge amount of income, he was naturally impatient to listen to the achievements of other staff members. He immediately stopped the internal affairs meeting, dismissed all Taiwan government staff, and would have been waiting here early in the morning.
Several generals were called in, and of course Li Tai, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, was also among them.
Several generals strode into the hall. When they looked up, they saw Daxingtai's face smiling and looking good. He must be in a good mood. The only thing is that the eyes he looked at Li Boshan were so sticky and intimate that he couldn't figure it out.
I'm afraid I might still think that Li Boshan married his daughter before.
Next, Yu Wentai used his wealth and wealth to the extreme. As soon as the generals were seated, he dropped a bombshell, ordering the four offices of the Bafu Zhongjun to remove all the registered battalion soldiers except those participating in river defense within ten days from now on.
In addition, everyone else gathered in the camp and waited for orders.
As soon as this statement came out, not only the generals were shocked, but even Li Tai, the leader of the domination list, was surprised: What are you trying to do?
There are basically between 20,000 and 30,000 soldiers on active duty in the four prefectures under the Chinese Army, but most of the time the battalions are not fully staffed. Basically, they only maintain a quarter to a third of the size, and the rest are part of the river defense.
, and then rest part of the way in the city.
This is not only for the purpose of combining work and rest, but also to reduce the pressure of raising an army. If the soldiers are not in the camp, Bafu does not need to provide full food, or half, or not at all. After all, only when you know you are hungry, you know where to go.
Only when you have something to eat will you be obedient and obey orders.
But today Daxingtai wants to gather all the Chinese army except the river defense soldiers in the camp. There are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. If the supporting civilian service force is added, the number will undoubtedly be even larger. So many people gathered in the camp
At the same time, not to mention any large-scale military operations, the consumption of horse chews alone for one day is already very staggering.
Before all the three million stones of supplies were put into the warehouse, Yu Wentai looked like he couldn't help but want to cause a big incident. This guy was already poor and tyrannical, but now the poor have suddenly become rich, and his old rival Gao Huan has become rich again.
After singing the Chile song, I looked like I was about to die!
Just when Li Tai, the big brother on the list, was secretly thinking that it was too late to run away with the bucket, Yu Wentai lived up to expectations and proposed his next goal, which was Heyang City, the strategic garrison town set up by the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Hanoi.
!
After hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but gasped. Three million stones of grain were thrown in. Things seemed to be completely messed up. Henan couldn't let Yu Wentai go. This guy was watching.
After the curtain call of the old enemy, I actually wanted to build a happy city for myself!
