While the people of Jingzhou were still engaged in construction in full swing, envoys Lu Tong and Changsun Jian from the Bafu of Huazhou also arrived in Jingzhou City.
When Li Tai received the letter, he thought he had read it wrong. Lu Tong had entered the court as an official a few years ago, and he also had the intention of monitoring the court on behalf of the Bafu, and would not be sent as an envoy. Changsun Jian, on the other hand, was recalled by Daxingtai.
One of Bafu's confidants who filled the vacancy after Su Chuo's death will also not wander around idle.
This time, Daxingtai directly sent these two people to Jingzhou, which shows that Daxingtai attaches great importance to the affairs of Jingzhou. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that it attaches importance to Jingzhou. The key is that Li Tai is too capable.
A group of people came to the outside of Jingzhou City after a long journey. When they saw Li Tai who greeted him with a smile, they didn't bother to exchange greetings. Lu Tong got off his horse and stared at Li Taifa with a straight face and asked: "Da Xingtai, let me ask Mr. Xihe again.
I was told before that "Xiangyang can be conquered in five years, and Jiangling can be leveled in ten years." Is it true that he has a plan, or is it just a wild talk to invite favors?"
Lu Tong's expression and tone were extremely serious, which showed that this was definitely not a casual question. It also represented Daxingtai's expectation and disbelief at Li Tai's boast.
"When you are on the job, you should only tell the truth. How dare you deceive the Lord to see it!"
After Li Tai heard this question, he answered seriously, and then said with a smile to Lu Tong: "Sui De Gong knows that I am not in a short period of time. When did I make boasts just to compete for beauty and invite favors? In five years, Han Mi can be determined
, I have been in Tu Dajiang for ten years, if I don’t do what I say, I am willing to accept the punishment!”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Changsun Jian, who was coming with him, and said, "Changsun Shangshu has been in Mianbei for a long time. He should know that the people in this town have accumulated a lot of money. If we make good use of it, it will not be difficult to enter the southern border of Tutu."
Changsun Jian, however, did not answer his question, but frowned and said, "I was passing through turbulent water and Guishui River, and there were many laborers. May I ask why Xihe Gong built it?"
"In autumn and winter, when the water is dry and there is a slack time for farming, we should take advantage of the time to build dredging canals and ponds in preparation for promoting farming next year."
As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, Changsun Jian said impatiently: "I know that Xihe Gong is good at building construction, but should we also consider the people's strength and avoid overworking the people and damaging things? The registered households in Jingzhou do not have more than 10,000, and after years of hard work,
The end of the year is still not peaceful..."
Changsun Jian had been stationed in Jingzhou for several years, and of course he had a deep understanding of the situation here. He had not agreed with letting Li Tai go out to control Jingzhou before. This time, when he saw many levies in the state along the way, he couldn't help but feel that Li Tai was employed in Jingzhou.
Tai Hao was overjoyed at his achievements and did not care about the power of the people, so he felt a sense of humiliation and humiliation as if he had been stolen from his home by Huang Mao.
Hearing Changsun Jian's question, Li Tai felt very unhappy. You have been squatting in Jingzhou for so long and have made no achievements. I will take over your mess and you can't work hard on your own?
"It is indeed a pity that Jingzhou's previous efforts have failed, but this is not a reason to hold back. Otherwise, the state's governance may not be stable, let alone Jianghan! I tell this truth to the people in the country, all the wise and righteous people in the countryside
They all feel the same way, so they work together to benefit the village. They are all scrambling to be the first and do not feel tired."
Li Tai looked at Changsun Jian unceremoniously and replied, adding some yin and yang to each other: "As Changsun Shangshu knows, if you only rely on your previous achievements in governing a small area, how can you build a business without causing local resentment?"
After Changsun Jian heard this answer with a gun and a stick, he felt very ashamed and angry. Of course, he didn't believe Li Tai's nonsense. If these powerful barbarian chiefs in the state really understood the righteousness, why would he sit in power?
After several years, there is nothing to boast about!
Sun Jian bowed his head and became silent, and Li Tai stopped arguing. Not to mention their different personalities and opinions, just because he was the pastor of a foreign town, and he was a close minister in the middle, there would really be too much conflict.
It would do him no good to reconcile and be constantly snitched on.
He led a group of officials to introduce this group of people into the state capital. On the way, Lu Tong asked carefully about the whole story of the previous attack on Xiangyang. After listening, he couldn't help but sigh: "Boshan is really young and brave. Who can enter the town?"
You reversed the trend from the very beginning and flaunted your power to fend off the enemy? After the Lord learned about your great achievements in court, he was overjoyed and said that he was indeed the one chosen this time!"
After having said the beautiful words, he proposed to take a look at the soldiers and civilians who had moved back from Fancheng. At the same time, he brought the topic back: "Boshan, you abandoned Fancheng and returned to Jingzhou. There was no murmur of criticism in the country. After all,
The systems of the two places are different, and the people's sentiments are like a blockade. They seem to be close to each other, but in fact they are separated by mountains. Even if they are temporarily occupied by force, I am afraid that it will be difficult to annex them in the long run! So, are you a little too optimistic when you made a five-year agreement? "
This time Lu Tong asked again, it was no longer as serious as before. It was just a conversation between friends, and there was a hint of exhortation in his tone. With Li Tai's current meritorious status, even without the blessing of new merit,
It is already something that most people need to look up to, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. There is really no need to engage in these overly arrogant and aggressive plans.
Of course, the reason why Li Tai painted a big cake for Daxingtai was not just to satisfy his taste.
It is now the end of the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tatong, and civil strife in Nanliang is about to occur. It is not difficult to cash in on the pie he drew, but if it is sketched out beforehand, it will inevitably make people excited or excited.
Full of doubts. And he can gain more autonomy through Yuwentai's expectations.
For example, he took Fancheng but gave up on it before. Although Lu Tong said that no one in the country criticized or questioned it, he probably was distracted by the five-year plan he boasted and did not care about abandoning Fancheng.
.
Otherwise, just for this matter alone, he may have to be prepared to be questioned by envoys sent by the Taiwan government over and over again. Whether this is reasonable or not is a secondary matter. The key is to use it to emphasize the majesty of the overlord and beat the generals at the border.
Of course, Li Tai doesn't want to ask the boss for instructions on everything and have his hands tied when doing things. If he wants to let the leader let go of power, he naturally has to show his own value and find a way to blow the bullshit and come to PUA by the way: Laozi Gang
You are talking about a big deal worth tens of billions, and you asked your accountant to check my business trip expenses. Are you not being a good person?
However, it is normal to have questions like Lu Tong's. Li Tai no longer showed off his analysis of the future evolution of the situation. Instead, he asked Liu Fanggui, the surrendered general of Nanliang, to personally speak out and tell Lu Tong about the current conflicts in Yongzhou and even the entire Jianghan region.
Complex and profound.
There are already many internal conflicts in Nanliang, and Liu Fanggui also brought a deep personal emotional stance when telling the story. It can be described as a verbal attack. Even Li Tai couldn't help but feel that Nanliang has become such a mess after listening to it.
So, the five-year plan was too conservative, and Lu Tong listened with great rapture.
Changsun Jian did not come with them to inspect the army and people in Fancheng. He thought he went elsewhere to find his old subordinates to inquire about the detailed changes in Jingzhou. When they met again in the state capital, he had become even more silent.
In order to show that he was not bragging indiscriminately, Li Tai also introduced the ongoing government affairs of the state government and subsequent decrees and plans to the two in detail. Although most of them were still in a state of drawing, both of them also listened.
So drunk.
Chang Sun Jian, in particular, looked focused and troubled. When Daxingtai consulted him before, he was so sure that Li Tai was not a suitable candidate. But regardless of his longer-term plan, it has been implemented for now.
Judging from the situation, Li Tai is far more suitable to govern Jingzhou than him.
"Jingzhou's treasury is depleted, but the state government has a lot of troops and services, which must have been replenished by Xihe Gong's private pockets. With his ambition to destroy the family and relieve the people in trouble, Xihe Gong himself is resolute, decisive and talented, so it is natural for Jingzhou to be governed!
"
Although he felt a little unhappy, Changsun Jian had to admit that Li Tai's governance methods for Jingzhou were far more effective than his own, but he still couldn't help but said sourly, "You just rely on spending money to break the situation."
Li Tai also had no intention of concealing his identity as a wealthy man. He thought that Sun Jian was simply praising himself, but he put on a sad face and sighed: "Although I have the ambition to destroy the family and relieve the disaster, there is still a huge gap in the national crisis."
, not only can one family's private affairs be reconciled! It happens that two people are visiting the country. What is the state of the state? Bi Chen is very concerned about it, so I sincerely ask you two to report to the Lord and allow me to open a trade on the southern border of the state to exchange what I have, so as to increase revenue.
, to save money and food for the pacification of Jianghan in a few years!"
Even if these two people don't come, Li Tai plans to ask Bafu to trade with Xiangyang in the future. On the one hand, Xiangyang's commodity economy is indeed more developed than in Mianbei, and mutual trade is profitable;
To cover up the larger-scale smuggling he was planning.
Upon hearing Li Tai's request, Changsun Jian was the first to speak: "If the two countries can open their markets, it will indeed be of great benefit to the people of both countries. If we just blindly ban it, but the needs of the people are still there, private markets will inevitably overflow.
Bandits are everywhere. But will Xiangyang agree? After all, they don't need me, and my material resources are quite short of them."
"My father used to live in Xiangyang for a long time, and we can have friendly relations with everyone from the lord of that state to King Yueyang. The former Liang people were trapped in a military crisis, so they sent my father to come and make peace. This matter was reported to the lord before, and now we discuss the matter together.
You can also follow this path.”
Li Tai then smiled again and said that he did not plan to send his father to Huazhou for the time being. He would use this as an excuse to stay for a while and give his father an in-depth introduction to the situation in the Western Wei Dynasty.
As Li Taishi's reputation grew, most people in Kansai became loyal viewers of Where's His Dad? So after hearing what he said, Lu Tong and Changsun Jian both congratulated their father and son on their reunion and expressed that they would definitely ask to see this person.
A wise man in the field who raised such an outstanding son.
When Li Tai led the two of them to visit his father at home, the two of them were even more enthusiastic about Li Xiao. It didn't look like they were looking at Li Tai's face, but they felt for Li Xiao from the bottom of their hearts.
Curiosity and respect.
Listening to these two people asking for their father's experience in raising children, Li Tai answered for his father with a bad taste in his heart. My family's parenting tips are nothing, they are just free-range and hard-working.
