Yuwentai stayed overnight in Shangyuan and returned to Tongzhou City with his family the next day.
Li Taize remained in the village and had several gatherings with fellow villagers whom he had not seen for a long time. For several days in a row, he held banquets at the village to entertain the fellow villagers who came after hearing the news.
Although he is now so powerful that he no longer needs these villagers to boost his power, without the support of these villagers, it would be difficult for him to reach this point smoothly.
Of course, without him, today's Shangyuan and even the entire Luoshui River Basin would not be as prosperous as it is today. He and these villagers can be regarded as mutual achievements, and now many villagers are serving in his military mansion.
It has gradually become the backbone of the management of military and political affairs.
The villagers benefited from Li Tai's care, and not only their lives have been greatly improved, but the status of some local tycoons has also been greatly improved.
Since the previous reorganization of the government troops by the Bafu mainly focused on sites in the Luoshui River Basin, the Canal League developed based on the Luoshui water conservancy was also deeply involved in it. Of course, such a private rural organization will not be recognized by the Chinese and foreign governments.
, but those who were in charge of specific affairs were successively promoted and appointed, either as governors in charge of township regiments, commander-in-chiefs, or directly as county magistrates.
Due to the limitations of their duties, these people may not be able to come to visit Li Tai, but they all send their family members and apostles to pay tribute. After entering the officialdom, they felt more and more the power and prestige of General Li Tai.
There are many things that are very troublesome for them in the officialdom, but when they mention that they are General Li's hometown party and have deep friendship, everyone is often willing to give them face and make the originally difficult things easier.
As for the ordinary villagers, they have personally experienced the transformation from a hand-to-mouth existence to now having abundant food and clothing. Whenever foreigners come here, they all praise it and linger around, refusing to leave.
There are no widowers or widowers in the whole Shangyuan. Even for the children who have not yet heard of anything in the household, many strangers come to inquire about them, hoping to get the opportunity to settle in this town through marriage.
General Li, who brought such great changes to the village, naturally won the enthusiastic admiration and support of the villagers.
The flowing banquet at the village has been going on for several days and has not calmed down. Li Tai does not have time to stay in the countryside every day to eat, not to mention the military and political affairs in Jingzhou, and the five thousand men stationed in Shayuan alone
Riding every day and eating what the horse chews is a big expense.
During this period, he discussed the handover arrangements for Jingzhou affairs with his cousin Cui Qian at the village.
Speaking of being forced to stay in Guanzhong, Cui Qian still felt a little bit resentful. But it was difficult to reverse the situation. It was only because they did so well in Jingzhou that they aroused the suspicion of the Chinese and foreign governments.
Moreover, now that Cui Qian lives in the same official residence as the governor, and has been given the surname Yuwen, he is not treated badly.
Cui Qian has already made some explanations in letters regarding the personnel handover of the military government, and now he will explain some details in person. For example, some of the processes he supervised before, as well as his personal impressions of certain members of the military government, so that Li can
Tai promotes or dismisses.
In addition to military personnel, Cui Qian also talked about a private matter, that is, he hoped that Li Tai could take his eldest son to Jingzhou to serve and gain experience. However, his eldest son Cui Kuang was only a teenager. Although he was well educated, he had no experience after all.
There was a limit to the number of people, so sending him there was more a matter of Cui Qian's own obsession than a matter of practice.
He spent several years in Jingzhou, assisting Li Tai with all his heart, and together he managed a somewhat deserted border state into the largest Dafang town in the Western Wei Dynasty. However, he was transferred just when Jiangling was about to be swallowed up. It was inevitable that he felt a little regretful. Even if he himself
I can't participate in it, but I also hope that this will leave a strong mark on my son's resume.
Looking at Cui Qian's pitiful eyes, Li Tai nodded and agreed without much thought. Naturally, he would not put his eldest nephew on the front line to fight. He would stay in the military mansion to share some logistics work, which could be regarded as giving Cui Qian several years of hard work.
A compensation.
Not only Cui Qian's son, Li Tai also planned to bring some clan members to Jingzhou this time. When it came to nepotism, he couldn't laugh at Yu Wentai. After all, in the chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, compared to other people, blood clans were the only ones.
The most credible force.
Of course, Li Tai will not deprive those military and political subordinates who have served for many years of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He will just bring his family members with him to add a resume. If he is capable, he can use this resume to be qualified for more important positions in the future.
If the position is really unsatisfactory, then live an honest life under your own protection.
This time, the people Li Tai planned to take to Jingzhou were his cousin Li Miao, his second brother Li Chao, and Li Licheng, who had been dependent on him for a long time.
Li Miao can be said to be the handsome guy in their family second only to Li Tai in appearance and demeanor. This is a great plus when dealing with southerners. Next, when he returns to Jingzhou, he will need to be lured and persuaded to surrender on a large scale.
To accommodate many people from the Southern Dynasties, a person specialized in foreign affairs was needed, so Li Tai naturally thought of this cousin.
Although Li Chao and Li Tai are from the same mother, they have relatively quiet personalities, are not clever, and have no adaptable talents, but they have the patience and wisdom to study and pass on academics. The situation in Guanzhong will become more and more complicated.
, instead of letting him stay in Guanzhong to rest, it is better to go to Jingzhou with him. It should be noted that Jiangling still has 140,000 volumes of books that need to be rescued and sorted out.
As for Li Licheng, he was responsible for helping Li Tai maintain relations with various Guandong portals in Beijing in his early years, and there was a lot of tacit understanding between them. When he fought for Yu Wentai to be crowned king, Li Tai also expressed his willingness to hand over the government affairs of Mianbei to people in Guanzhong.
, Li Licheng, as the son-in-law of the Hongnong Yang family, happened to be responsible for communicating with the people they selected after he went there.
After everything at home was settled, Li Tai went to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office to bid farewell to Yu Wentai. He was not the only general who left to take office today, and the other one was Li He, who was about to serve as the governor of Xiazhou, but now he has
He was given the surname Yuwen, and enjoyed preferential treatment because he was Yuwentai's confidant. His name was also changed, and he is now called Yuwenyi.
"Boshan has arrived at the right time. Qinghe is about to leave Xiazhou and come here to ask for advice. Beizhou has transformed from desolation to rule, and has greatly benefited from Boshan's power. If you ask me this question, why don't you ask someone who knows more!"
When Yu Wentai saw Li Tai coming to the hall, he hurriedly waved to him warmly and smiled, then looked at Li He who was sitting down and said: "Qinghe, although you are from a powerful and famous family living in Xiazhou, you should not underestimate Taiyuan."
Duke's plan. Back then, he and Duke Wu'an and others attacked the Hus in Buluoji, suppressed and pacified them, and cleverly used the manpower of the Hus to successfully attack Jinyang!"
"The Duke of Taiyuan is famous in Beizhou. I have heard about it for a long time and have longed for him. When we meet in the hall today, I naturally want to ask for advice humbly!"
After hearing this, Li He quickly bowed and replied, then stood up and saluted Li Tai and said: "The general has met Duke Taiyuan. Your Majesty has spoken to me, and I have also heard about it. I hope Duke Taiyuan can give me some advice!"
Li Tai also bowed his hand to Li He, and then said with a smile: "In those days, success relied heavily on the strength of the armies, and Duke Yongfeng also sent his sons to join our army to serve. Although your lord prefers to praise, I dare not take credit."
Don't say goodbye. Duke Yongfeng has now returned to his hometown with great honor and left the town. I think the village is proud of it and everyone is united, so there is no need to come and inquire about the old plans of someone who has been away for a long time."
If he is not in his position and does not pursue his political ambitions, others may not be grateful if he talks too much. Moreover, Li He is a powerful man in Xiazhou, so there is no need for Li Tailai to make irresponsible remarks in his position.
Seeing that Li Tai didn't want to say more, Yu Wentai said again: "Boshan, you don't have to avoid suspicion. The situation in Beizhou is indeed not good now. At the beginning of the year, the East Bandit Lord attacked the Xishan Hu bandits, and later attracted the remnants of Rouran.
…”
After listening to Yu Wentai's story, Li Tai realized that the situation in northern Shaanxi was indeed not good. They were having a lot of fun here, and the Northern Qi Dynasty was not idle either. Previously, Gao Yang had dealt with the Khitan and Kumo Xi.
Brothers in trouble, they later intervened in the war between Turks and Rouran. At the beginning of this year, they even attacked Shilouhu's lair in one fell swoop, causing the Jihu tribes to flee in all directions.
In the early years, Li Tai, Li Mu, Yu Wengui and Yang Zhong worked together to fight against Shuofang Hu in northern Shaanxi. Li Shihu was wiped out by the Qing Dynasty in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and fled to the Hetao area. Now the stone buildings in one of Ji Hu's lairs have been destroyed.
Of course, it will also bring great border defense pressure to the states in northern Shaanxi.
Although Li Tai is not in northern Shaanxi now, there are still many personnel arrangements there. His cousin Cui Tan is the governor of Suizhou. Yes, Cui Tan is also given the same surname as his brother Cui Qian, and he also enjoys the same treatment as Yu Wenyi
, the current name is Yu Wenshuo. There are also Li Yantou, Liu Ping, Mao Shijian and other cadres staying there, as well as Lishi Hu Chief Liu Kuzhen.
Although Yu Wentai asked Li Tai to participate in the discussion in a matter-of-fact manner, he was not in his position after all, and he did not know much about the changes in the situation in the north in recent years, so he only said that he could write to Hu Chief Liu Kuzhen and others.
Personally, please ask them to cooperate with Li He's actions. As for going more in-depth, there is no way to say it, and Li He must have his own coping strategies. If he talks too much, it will embarrass him.
"Alas, Boshan is in close contact with Beizhou and is powerful in Shuofang. The situation in all parties is complicated now. In fact, I am most reassured that you are in charge of Shuofang. But now the affairs in the southeast cannot be separated from you, so we can only leave it like this for the time being."
I don’t know if Yu Wentai really thought that way or if he said it deliberately. In short, after saying this, Li Tai saw that Li He’s eyes had changed a little when he looked at him, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. It’s not like you don’t know what your boss is.
Why is it so easy to fall for it?
He didn't want to continue on this topic, so he simply talked about the Jingzhou incident. Yuwentai listened for a while and then nodded and said: "I feel relieved that Boshan is in charge of the situation in the southeast. You will prepare carefully for the battle after you return to town.
, when everything in the house is in order, I will definitely do my best to help you achieve this great achievement!"
