In addition to personnel communication in Jiangling, Li Tai also did not neglect Shuzhong.
He had previously promised the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office to recommend officials from the Jingzhou Governor's Office who were familiar with Shuzhong's personnel into the office, so after returning to Mianbei, he began to select personnel.
The personnel interaction between the Jingzhou General Office and Shuzhong was mainly carried out by Li Qianzhe, which was mainly based on mutual trade, with some operations to connect local powerful people in Shuzhong.
Of course, Li Tai would not leave this line to the Zhongwaifu. What the Zhongwaifu needs now is someone who can communicate with Shu at the official level, such as blackmailing Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, and contacting him.
, lobbying key personnel in the military, as for other aspects, the demand is not high.
These human interaction foundations established by Li Qianzhe still have considerable value even after the Western Wei Dynasty captured Shuzhong. Li Tai himself did not intend to strive for military and political positions in Shuzhong. Of course, he would need other ways and means to participate.
to the distribution of benefits after capturing Shuzhong.
In addition to Li Qianzhe, Li Tai also sent Liu Fan to Shuzhong last time to negotiate, return Xiao Ji's son Xiao Yuanzheng and redeem Wang Yue and others. Liu Fan was originally from the Southern Dynasties, and previously served in Hanzhong, which is close to Shuzhong.
, so the same people in Shu are also very familiar with each other, so the last task was completed very well.
So this time Li Tai planned to recommend Liu Fan to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and ask him to assist the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office in conducting some personnel operations in Shu.
Liu Fan is different from Li Qianzhe. He still has a lot of identification with the Southern Dynasty in his heart, and he also has his own ethics and persistence. Therefore, Li Tai did not let him participate in the affairs that Li Qianzhe was responsible for.
Recommending him to return to the country also allowed Liu Fan to see the domineering and profit-seeking style of doing things of the Chinese and Foreign Governments, thereby strengthening his inner recognition of the General Manager's Office.
When Li Tai summoned Liu Fan and told him about this arrangement, Liu Fan was still somewhat conflicted in his heart. He lowered his head and said: "I am in a humble position and have no talent. Fortunately, the general tolerates me and appoints me. I only hope that I can dedicate myself to the task and repay the general."
It is my kindness to live. But there are many old acquaintances in Shu, and it is inevitable that we will feel ashamed when we meet each other, and feel ashamed and unruly. It is bearable for a person to be belittled and ridiculed, but if it is tiring..."
Li Tai also understood that Liu Fan's current situation made it somewhat embarrassing for him to face those old acquaintances. However, such shame did not need to last long. It would not take long anyway, and everyone would
Became a subjugated slave.
Although the situation was like this, Li Tai could not persuade Liu Fan directly. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Remembering the original intention is indeed a valuable quality, but sometimes it also requires flexibility. What Hanzhong does not do
The defense was due to Xiao Shijun being slow and careless. When entering the city, Liu Zhonglang's mediation and cooperation prevented many unnecessary casualties.
All the people in Nanzheng City must appreciate Liu Zhonglang's virtues, and the only person Liu Zhonglang is ashamed of is the Xiao family. But today's Jiangnan is in chaos and rampant evil. Isn't it because the Xiao family abandoned the world? What's more, now King Wuling is brazenly self-reliant, fully demonstrating
If Liu Zhonglang can be diligent in persuading him at this time, even if only one person can survive, it will be a hundred times more valuable than being alone in a secluded place, feeling sorry for himself!"
After Liu Fan heard this, he immediately showed a pensive look on his face. Although he was ashamed of not being able to swear to defend Nanzheng and now he was serving as an official in the Western Wei Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel disgusted when he thought of King Wuling's rebellion and self-reliance.
After thinking for a while, Liu Fan then lowered his head and said: "I know that I don't have the talent to match the general's favor and love, and I often feel withdrawn and give up. However, the general still does not dislike him, and even gives me a lot of encouragement and encouragement. It really makes me humble."
I feel so ashamed. But I have no obligation to do what I have done. If it is true that it can save the lives of two or three people as the general said, it is all due to the kindness of the general!"
Hearing Liu Fan's agreement, Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, and immediately assigned Lu Yan, a member of the government, to Liu Fan as his deputy, and went to the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office together to take orders. Lu Yan is Lu Tong's younger brother. When Li Tai was in Huazhou, Lu Tong
I came here specifically hoping to arrange for Lu Yan to return to the mansion and take up his duties, so that the brothers can still take care of each other.
Li Tai didn't say much about this, and just nodded in agreement. Maybe Lu Tong also felt that the Jingzhou General Manager's Office was gradually becoming unstoppable, but he couldn't figure out Daxingtai's inner thoughts, and was worried about the future of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office and the Jingzhou General Manager's Office.
The atmosphere between them became increasingly awkward, so Lu Yan was recalled in advance.
However, Lu Yan still has some objections to this. He had just served as the magistrate of Rang County at the beginning of the year and was planning to take charge of the government and make great achievements. Of course, he did not want to return to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office to do those busy but unfulfilling government jobs.
.
However, since the general had given this order and his brother's family letter had been sent to Jingzhou, Lu Yan could only nod and agree. However, when he said goodbye to Li Tai, his eyes were red and his tone was slightly choked: "Since the capital is flooded,
I have been serving the general for a long time because of my humble position. Now that I have been abandoned suddenly, I dare not fight for it. I just hope that next year when there are men under the general who are weak, they can remember my humble position and be respectful and use it!"
When Li Tai heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. Lu Yan, Cui Yansheng and other subordinates were the first to follow him. They had worked together for many years, and the tacit understanding between them was not developed overnight. From the initial disobedience to resentment,
Now Li Tai can fully implement his intentions without any further instructions. Now that they are separated suddenly, he is more or less reluctant to let go.
He stepped forward and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Both inside and outside, we are all members of the royal family. We have close friends in the sea, and we are neighbors in the world. Mr. Lu and I have been together for many years, and we will always get together again to work together.
Time! If your talents are inferior to your progress at that time, don’t blame me for scolding you mercilessly!”
"I don't dare, I don't dare, but I feel honored to be taught again and hold such a humble position. How dare I feel resentful? I just lost the general's advice, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make progress..."
Lu Yan was still a little disappointed. In his mind, he only felt that the General Manager's Office in Jingzhou was the most energetic. Take the magistrate of Rangxian County, which he had just taken over recently, because it was the location of the military government, and the General Manager's Office was flourishing in industry and agriculture.
, the financial, food and personnel management he oversees is probably inferior to that of Jing Zhaoyin. After leaving the Jingzhou General Manager's Office, it will be much more difficult to accumulate merit elsewhere.
When seeing off Liu Fan, Lu Yan and others, Li Tai asked them to bring with them his memorial recommending Cui You to be the governor of Liangzhou.
Putting aside other considerations, Liangzhou alone is under the jurisdiction of the General Manager of Jingzhou. He has a lot of say in the appointment of Liangzhou governor. If he did not replace Yan Qing before, it would be a face to Daxingtai. Now he recommends it.
Cui You was also based on the plan to conquer Shu, and believed that Cui You could perform better than Yan Qing in this position.
At least if Cui You serves as the governor of Liangzhou, Li Tai plans to send his disciple Guo Yan to lead 3,000 troops to accompany him, and these 3,000 troops can also join in the subsequent battle against Shu. If the Chinese and foreign government does not understand, it will not
If you are willing to agree to Li Tai's personnel proposal, I will give you a shitty support!
After sending Liu Fan and his party away, Li Tai sent an envoy to inform Li Qianzhe, who was still active in Bashu, to return to Jingzhou to discuss the follow-up plan.
After receiving this notice, Li Qianzhe did not dare to delay. He immediately returned to Ankang, took a boat down the river, and returned to Rangcheng in early August.
The first thing after entering the city, Li Qianzhe reported to Li Tai the trade results achieved during this period. Since the Jingzhou General Manager's Office sent Xiao Yuanzheng back last year and eased the relationship between them, things had been stagnant.
commerce started again.
There were some twists and turns in this process. The boy Xiao Yuanzheng was angry at Jingzhou General Manager for defeating more than 10,000 of his subordinates. Although this boy was the one who flirted first, he still found a way to vent his anger after returning to Yizhou's home court.
Due to Xiao Yuanzheng's interference, Li Qianzhe's trade volume with Yizhou Official Market dropped sharply.
After Li Tai learned about this situation, he felt quite angry in his heart. He felt that the Xiao family was full of people who cared about food rather than fighting, and wanted to repay kindness with revenge. Xiao Yuanzheng fell into his hands and returned to the family again.
In fact, Shuzhong is all lucky. If he still stays in Jiangling, he will be arrested by his good uncle Qi and thrown into prison. In the end, he will be so hungry that he will chew his own arm and starve to death.
!
However, although the official market shipments in Yizhou are small, the private market shipments have increased significantly. On the one hand, this is because Li Qianzhe is constantly traveling to contact Sichuan, and because frosted sugar is highly sought after in Sichuan,
On the other hand, it was because Xiao Ji became emperor.
In particular, the latter had a great impact on the mood of the people of Bashu. Many Shu people were not happy that they finally had another emperor in Sichuan, but were full of a sense of crisis. They only felt that a military disaster was about to come, and good days were probably coming.
It's over.
Therefore, in the past few months, many powerful people in Shu have been rushing to sell the squeezed Shu brocade they have accumulated in the sellers and exchange it for various other materials. As a result, the price of frost sugar in exchange for Shu brocade has further increased.
"Since the rebellion of Wuling, the people of Shu have been rushing to sell off their brocade goods. In just a few months, they have accumulated nearly 10,000 pieces of goods!"
When Li Qianzhe said this, he couldn't help looking at Li Taifa and asked: "Master Lang, what is the country's plan for Shu Zhong's rebellion? Wuling rebelled against the throne, but the people of the country rushed to avoid danger, and the superiors and subordinates were at odds.
