The banquet in the outer hall started a little later. Although most of the guests had already arrived, Tang Gong still did not delay in announcing the start of the banquet. He waited until a young man in military uniform arrived before Tang Gong waved his hand to start the banquet.
.
Some thoughtful people also noticed this, and couldn't help but feel curious. However, Tang Gong did not introduce him in particular, and since they had just entered Kansai and were relatively unfamiliar with the people here, they naturally could not recognize where this young man came from.
.
The last young man to arrive was naturally Shuofeng. He did not follow Li Taibei to attack the Turks before, but stayed in the capital to form the Hussar Prefecture. Now he is already the general of the first prefecture. Because his post is in Xianyang in Weibei
, although the messengers came and went at a fast pace, it was already late when they returned.
Li Tai called all the relatives, friends and guests to sit down together, but without being too deliberate, he arranged several phoenixes beside him at the table, sitting among the juniors according to their age.
"The former was prompted by the war disaster. Love is divided between east and west. People are separated from each other. Relatives and friends are separated for a long time, and it is difficult to miss each other. Fortunately, God has not lost the favor, so that all our relatives and friends can gather together in Guanzhong! We are reunited after a long separation, and the world is a great joy. We will drink holy wine together.
Only get drunk!"
When all the people were seated, Li Tai took the lead in raising his glass and making a speech. After seeing this, everyone also raised their glasses in response and drank all the wine in the glass. Soon after, someone said with emotion: "Why are we gathering in Guanzhong today?
Even if it was caused by heaven's favor, it was also invited by Tang Gongwei!
During the old rule of hunting in the west, all the people in Luoxia were taken captive to the east. They were restrained by strong men and were not tolerated. All the relatives and friends were tied up in Guandong and had no plan to follow the road! Heaven was merciful, so Tang Gong established Guanxi, and the relatives and friends in panic were under the influence.
, I’m really grateful!”
People who have read books are flattering. When Li Tai first entered Guanzhong, he also won Yu Wentai's favor with this skill. Now, while accepting the compliment with a smile, he glanced at the flatterer.
, he saw that it was a descendant of the Lu family sitting in the group with his old uncle Lu Shuhu. When he was introduced before, Li Tai vaguely remembered that it was Lu Sidao.
So he nodded slightly to Lu Sidao, and made a note in his mind that he could not put such a smooth-talking young man in an important leadership position. Whether it was himself now, or Li Zhi, who had previously disturbed the Chinese and foreign government.
, those are all painful lessons!
Relatives and friends are reunited. The necessary reminiscing and greetings have all been finished while waiting for the banquet to begin. Now we can drink and connect with each other. However, what everyone is most concerned about is probably what arrangements Li Tai will make for them.
Although they have received homes and various daily necessities as gifts in the past, it is not a problem to maintain a normal life. However, this lifestyle of relying on financial aid is obviously not sustainable for long. They also hope to integrate into the world of Guanzhong as soon as possible, especially
It is in the political ecology.
Now among the group of people who have recently come to Guanzhong, only Lu Shuhu has been granted the title of Duke of Yan County, and has been given the title of Shizhong.
However, Lu Shuhu had a close relationship with Tang Gong, so naturally no one would compare with him. They expected to receive such respectful treatment from the beginning, and they probably all hoped to get a position where their talents could be used, so that they could integrate into the current situation more quickly.
Of course, Li Tai also knew what everyone was thinking, and his hegemony indeed needed a group of talents. Therefore, after drinking for three rounds, he said bluntly: "The imperial court suffered a new man-made disaster a few days ago. Today
Although it was initially decided, the damage to personnel was also profound and needed urgent repairs. Since the king's expedition to the west, thieves have stolen from Guandong to enrich themselves and make themselves proud and powerful to please their followers. However, the people in the imperial court did not dare to slack off for a day, and they marched south and north.
The results of the war were rich, especially in the battle of Jiangling, and all the etiquette of the Southern Dynasty was attributed to me. Nowadays, in governing affairs and studying, all need to make meritorious service, and I am thirsty for talents, and I am not limited to one pattern."
Li Xiao also took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "The world of Guanxi is not known for its academics. There are many poems, books, etiquette and meanings, but they are not good at knowledge. The theories of various schools can be spread to this wasteland. If you understand them well, you will definitely be ahead of others.
He is an inspiration to the underachievers! He has not been studying here for a long time, but he has already produced many commendable achievements."
They, father and son, sang together and paid equal attention to academics and career achievements. They also hoped that their relatives and friends would not be obsessed with power and go into officialdom all at once.
Among the latter three kingdoms, the Northern Qi's achievements in system, law and academic culture are all remarkable. This is obviously not something that the nobles of Jinyang can accomplish. Although the Guandong family is in a relatively weak state politically, but in other areas
The development of the field has still left a considerable legacy to future generations.
The progress and development of the system, the fusion and recognition of the culture, although not as intuitively visible as the achievements in the military and economic fields, are also indispensable accumulation of heritage for a unified regime.
When sorting out Jiangling books, Li Tai felt that there were too many people from the Southern Dynasties, and hoped to attract some people from the Kanto region to join in, so that they could re-integrate based on the academic foundations of the Southern and Northern Dynasties that had been divided for hundreds of years, and once again form a unified society.
New cultural origins.
Not everyone present in the Kanto community is obsessed with fame and fortune. After hearing what their father and son said, they immediately became interested in academic postgraduate studies. For example, when Wang Songnian arrived in Xiangyang before, he hoped to compile a new "
"Book of Wei" to fight against Wei Shou, who was supported by the Northern Qi court.
These members of the Kanto clan also had a full understanding of the importance of rituals, principles, classics and history. Therefore, they did not resist Li Tai's idea of diverting them to academic studies, but were actually somewhat eager to try it.
Next, Li Tai talked about the imperial court's plans to re-establish educational institutions such as Guozi and Taixue, which naturally required many doctors and bachelors to serve as teaching staff. Moreover, in order to reflect the imperial court's emphasis on academics and education, Li Tai also specifically pointed out
Doctors of various disciplines, bachelors and other teaching positions are a special group with real salary, and the salary is not low. Even doctors of various disciplines have land to support their families.
After everyone present heard this, they immediately became more moved. Although they had not yet become officials, they had already lived in Guanzhong for several months, and they all understood the poor nature of the Western Wei Dynasty. Even if they became officials, they did not have a regular salary.
Distribution, so there is no worry in my heart about how to make a living.
At this time, when they heard that there was a special high-paying profession called teaching, they were naturally happy to take up the job. After all, no matter how profound their wisdom and lofty ambitions were, they had to fill their stomachs first before thinking about anything else.
Westerners are less academically inclined, and these teaching positions were undoubtedly specially arranged by Duke Tang to take care of their lives!
At the thought of this, everyone felt warm in their hearts, and they all stood up to toast, with even more enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
They thought so, but Li Tai was a bit wrong. He had already had the idea of reforming the official salary system when he wanted to cut the salary of the clans.
As we all know, the free ones are the most expensive. Although officials in the Western Wei Dynasty did not have regular salaries, it did not mean that they did not have other incomes. As long as their ideas were broad enough, there were ways to make profits everywhere.
Li Tai was a man who exploited loopholes in various unscrupulous ways, and he was very clear about the principles involved. But if you want to determine the fuzzy areas, plug those loopholes, and maintain the stability of the regime, you must first improve the official salary system.
To formalize.
However, considering the state of the Western Wei Dynasty's finances, it is undoubtedly a very arduous task to formalize this. We can try to promote it step by step. Various Chinese studies institutions can be used as a pilot, and by the way, we can also strengthen the southern and Kanto scholars.
People’s sense of identity and belonging to the Western Wei regime.
The Kanto Shiliu and the southern scholars who went north one after another were enough to support the various national studies education, and in these educations, talents could also be tested, gradually attracting these Shiliu to administrative positions in the imperial court.
This can avoid the sudden introduction of many unqualified officials, causing a mess in government affairs. Moreover, the less capable people are, the more likely they are to form cliques to cover up their incompetence and seize greater power.
However, not everyone hopes to devote themselves to academic education, especially young people. They are more eager to display their ambitions and make contributions. Especially inspired by Tang Gong's deeds, they all feel that they are not as indulgent as Tang Gong.
Wizards, even if they are discounted again and again, it is no problem to become a prince and a general!
Before responding to the appeals of these young people, Li Tai first raised his finger and stood up, and said to everyone with a smile: "Don't underestimate this young man because of his short teeth. I have been fostered by my father for a long time.
The little boy is now very brave. He used to fight against the Eastern bandits in Heluo, and he also fought bravely, living up to his father's reputation. The reason why you were born in Guanxi, you have also contributed a lot!"
Shuofeng was previously placed among the children of the aristocratic family, and he was quite uncomfortable at first. Now that he was named and praised by Li Tai, he felt excited and excited. He lowered his head and said under the gaze of everyone: "Except for the muscles and bones given by my late father,
I have been deeply taught by my brother since I was a child. Even if I am stupid and have less than 10% of my academic achievements, I am still not afraid of things and not surprised by changes. If I am driven by wisdom, it is natural for me to achieve small achievements. My brother's praise really makes me
Ashamed to bear it.”
After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said: "This son is so diligent in doing things and clumsy in performance. His father was kind to me during his lifetime and entrusted his son to me. I should help him become famous, achieve success, and start a family!"
When he said this, he looked at Li Gang who was sitting in the banquet and said with a smile: "How do you think, uncle, of the young man I have raised? I will invite him to visit you at home someday. Is your uncle willing to receive him?"
Li Gang didn't expect that Li Tai would talk about this in front of everyone. He was slightly surprised at first, but then he stood up and said with a smile: "Who doesn't like a handsome young man? What's more, the young man who was educated and inspired by Tang Gong came to visit.
I will sweep my bed and wait for you when the day comes!"
After Li Tai heard this, he pointed at the phoenixes and said with a smile: "It's so rare to be kind and generous, why don't you come forward to serve the wine!"
After hearing this, several Feng hurriedly nodded in agreement, walked straight to Li Gang's table, and poured him wine. The tall and tall man, who was not inferior to his father's physique, stood out in the middle of the table, which was very eye-catching.
