Although it was a false alarm, Li Tai did not move elsewhere.
The Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office has been clamoring for the Eastern Expedition for more than half a year, and even went so far as to treacherously satisfy the Turks' tyrannical demands. Now that they chose to send troops to the Eastern Expedition at this moment, it always made him feel a little uneasy.
Therefore, while Li Tai sent envoys to Guanzhong to inquire in detail about matters related to the Eastern Expedition of the Chinese and Foreign Governments, he also told his subordinates to maintain war readiness and not to relax.
Before there are any turning points or changes, Li Tai is undoubtedly the safest to stay in his old nest, so that he can respond immediately no matter what happens, and also deal with the backlog of the Taiwan government.
Military and political matters.
When an incident occurred in Jiankang in Nanliang, Li Tai led his troops to Jiangxia to be on guard. He didn't even have time to deal with the personnel arrangements for the selected candidates. He just ordered the commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief Sun Jian, and others to make appropriate decisions based on the situation of internal and external personnel.
After returning to the government this time, he checked the relevant personnel appointments and was basically satisfied with the arrangements.
At present, the Taiwanese government, including other political organizations, has an important reason for limiting the expression of authority is the lack of administrative power. Especially in local counties, counties and townships, they need to rely heavily on the influence and control of local powerful families.
, in order to carry out the rule.
Although the people selected in the selection test are also the powerful children of these families, a relatively formal concept and procedure has finally been formed. You can be selected and appointed as an official not because of your origin, but because of your own intelligence and knowledge.
.Create a new universal value through affirmation of individual value.
Rural resources are limited, and the local order is closed. Even if the fingers on a palm are both long and short, the benefits that a closed environment can provide must be limited, and it is extremely unfair.
The Taiwan government's talent selection process is to provide a broader and fairer platform than blood inheritance for those frustrated local people and talents who are eager to progress. It is a conspiracy to select outstanding talents from among you to destroy your original order.
As these candidates were added to the government offices inside and outside the Taiwan government, the operational efficiency of the entire Taiwan government was immediately improved. Not only because the Taiwan government was lacking in talent before, but also because these young candidates have a more high-spirited and uplifting spirit.
This also proves that the talent selection process established by Li Tai has achieved initial results, which inevitably makes him look forward to promoting this on a larger stage.
In addition to handling the government affairs of the Taiwan government, Li Tai also took time to organize a banquet in the inner government to entertain relatives and friends who had just arrived in Xiangyang with Li Licheng not long ago.
"There was a sudden incident in Jiangdong. Because we were afraid that the incident would spread to the area under the jurisdiction of Taifu, we hurriedly led our troops south to take precautions. We did not have time to meet all our relatives and friends at the mansion. Please don't mind my indifference."
There were hundreds of people sitting in the inner hall of Tai Mansion. They were all relatives and friends of the Li family in Longxi. Some of them had come to Xiangyang before, and some had just arrived not long ago. When Li Tai raised his wine glass, everyone present also cheered.
Raise a glass in response.
Among them was Brother Cui Zhan, who was still in mourning. He was forced to leave his hometown due to the changes in the situation in the country. Although he could no longer abide by etiquette, he could not openly gather together to feast and enjoy himself.
But when they came to someone else's place, they couldn't show nothing to the host's first reception, so these people who had not yet surrendered sat in a plain tent set up in the hall. Although they did not participate in the banquet, they did not hinder each other.
communication between.
From this arrangement, it can also reflect the flexibility of these famous families. If you really believe in and abide by the etiquette and justice they preach, then they can play you to death. The etiquette and rules are just tools to them, not
It’s not that you need to devote your life to adhering to the beliefs you defend.
The people who came to Xiangyang with Li Licheng this time were mainly relatives and friends of the family with five surnames.
Among them, Li Tai is most familiar with them and knows them from the memory of his predecessor. They are the Cui Zhan family of the Qinghe Cui family. After all, their family has lived under the protection of the Qinghe Cui family for more than ten years, and they have the deepest friendship with each other.
Regarding Cui's death, Li Tai could only say that it was deserved from a ruler's perspective, but of course he also wanted to comfort him from a personal perspective.
In addition to expressing his nostalgia and sentimentality, he also asked Brother Cui Zhan to rest assured that he would not have to worry about his life at all. He would make appropriate arrangements. By the way, he would also feel and get used to the personnel atmosphere of Shannan Daotai Prefecture.
Although the brothers Li Qian of the Li clan in Longxi are not as close as the brothers Li Pei, they are still relatives of the same clan.
Li Tai didn't mention the old thing about their refusal to follow Li Pei and his entourage. After all, at that time, not only were they not very powerful in the Western Wei Dynasty, but even Li Tai was not as able to protect them as they are now.
Li Qianzhi and the others were also a large group of wives, children, and children, so of course they had to consider a lot before making such a big decision. And although they did not come with them at the time, they also gave Li Pei and his party great help in the process of escaping from Jinyang.
Wang Songnian, father and son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Li Tai are relatively unknown, but they are all very close relatives. They traveled thousands of miles to come here, so they naturally had to make a living. Moreover, Wang Songnian's sons Wang Shao and Li Tai
There are also some impressions, of course, from the memories of later generations. Now that they have come to Xiangyang, Li Tai said that he can introduce their brothers to study at Fuxue. Xiangyang Fuxue now has the richest teaching materials in the world!
After these people felt Li Tai's kind attitude, they felt a little relieved.
Although they are all relatives, and they may have even encountered the mischievous young Li Tai getting into trouble and being punished when they visited last year, after all, they have been separated for many years and have become somewhat strangers.
Having heard about Li Tai's various deeds before, I already thought highly of him. Now I came to Li Tai's place and felt the lofty reputation and absolute authority that the King of Taiyuan had in Shannan Road. I also thought that I would also make a living in the future.
Everyone under the sect is also adjusting their mentality and positioning themselves.
As the banquet progressed, these relatives and friends also expressed their respect for Li Tai in a subtle and appropriate manner, and did not make any jokes about relying on their elders. This also made the atmosphere of the banquet very harmonious, and they felt quite at home under the warm hospitality of the host.
a feeling of.
In addition to the Cui Zhan brothers who are still in Xiao, these people have also expressed to varying degrees the idea of contributing to the rule of Xingtai. Of course Li Tai would not refuse this. The reason why he asked Li Licheng to recruit these relatives and friends from Hebei , of course not just for the sake of a few poor relatives who are struggling with the autumn wind. In the future, he will step onto a bigger stage, and these people will also be his ruling team.
However, there are differences in personnel culture between the East and the West. Although the Western Wei Dynasty, especially Shannan Daotai Prefecture, has not yet formed a complete system of laws and regulations like the Northern Qi Dynasty, in fact, both official governance and the daily implementation of the law are more rigorous than those in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Of course, Li Tai cannot arrange these relatives and friends to go to the selection hall to schedule their participation in the next election just like he does with young people.
After asking about personal wishes and resumes, those who were well-known for academics were assigned to compile and compile the book collection, working together with Zhou Hongzheng and other Southern Liang scholars. Some of them had already served as state and county officials in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties. He also had administrative experience, so Li Tai temporarily moved into his palace, and appointed him temporarily if there were any gaps in his duties. Even if he made occasional mistakes under his own eyes, he could be corrected in time.
Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement. Naturally, they did not expect to completely replace Li Tai's old Yuan Cong as soon as they came to Xiangyang and serve as frontier officials like the brothers Li Pei.
In particular, Wang Songnian was obsessed with continuing to criticize the "Book of Wei" compiled by Wei Shou. When the leader of Qi, Gao Yang, clearly expressed his support for Wei Shou, he continued to toss in Northern Qi just to seek death. Now he came to France. Xiangyang, a foreign country, naturally wanted to let himself go completely, and immediately proposed to Li Tai to compile a new "Book of Wei" to replace the "Book of Wei" of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
This is of course a good idea. After all, whoever compiles history has the right to define the previous dynasty and have the right to speak about many things. But the problem is that the history was compiled after the Eastern Wei Dynasty was gone, but they still have the Western Wei Dynasty, and their emperor Tuoba Kuo is still in Chang'an. Just stay there, isn't it always good for us to draw conclusions here?
But then I thought about it. Although it is not convenient to compile history directly at the moment, it does not hinder the compilation of materials. Not only the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also the Western Wei Dynasty. In the future, the three kingdoms will have to give them a final conclusion. The relevant preparations should start early. Nothing.
After arrangements were made with these relatives and friends, more accurate information from Guanzhong also came.
This time Yu Wentai seemed to be serious about it, and the momentum was so great that he mobilized the troops from Guanzhong and the troops from Longyou to the east. A total of 100,000 troops came out of Tongguan. Li Bi, Dugu Xin and other Zhuguo states They all went out with the army. In Guanzhong, only his son Yu Wenyu stayed in Xianyang, Yu Wenjue stayed in Tongzhou, and some generals to assist his two sons.
Of course, Yu Wentai did not ignore the threat from the southeast. While rushing out, he also arranged for the Marquis of Zhu State Mo Chen Chong to station the entire army in Weinan, obviously to guard against Wuguan.
