"King Yan, what happened in Tianjin? You need to come to Youzhou City in person!" Gao Jifu said.
Speaking of which, when Li Tai just named him Tianjin, Gao Jifu felt that the name was not good.
Because the word "tian" is too big, it means that the city is called Youjin City, which is almost the same.
But Li Tai suspected that Tianjin was called Youjin, and he was afraid that he would be scolded to death, so he tried his best to talk about it, saying that this was the Jinkou of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, so he insisted on being called Tianjin.
Finally, Li Tai and Gao Jifu both wrote a letter to Li Shimin, and the imperial edict was issued, saying that this was Tiansun’s Jinkou, and it was called Tianjin.
Then the city of Tianjin was settled, which also allowed Gao Jifu to fully realize Li Shimin's doting for Li Tai.
In short, the name of Tianjin City has been confirmed, but Gao Jifu also knew that his Youzhou Chief Secretary is not a good job.
If Li Shimin doesn't like this son, then he will report it to the truth.
If Li Tai is not capable, he can find a way to control it himself.
But Li Tai is capable, but at the same time he is loved by Li Shimin, which makes people feel very troublesome.
The problems Gao Jifu is actually encountered by the ministers of the court.
Li Tai's strong internal affairs are strong, but the most important thing is that there are people behind Li Tai. Cooperating with Li Tai's strong internal affairs, almost allowing Li Tai to transform every point of his contribution into political achievements.
After all, all these things fell into Li Shimin's eyes. Who dares to go up and play tricks? What's the difference between this and taking the chestnut from the fire?
If Li Tai offends people in various ways and commits suicide, then it would be fine. There are always people who can't swallow this to fight against Li Tai.
But the reality is that Li Tai always wins over a lot of people when doing things. Whether it is the initial fire plan or the current Zheng Guoqu, although Li Tai always gives the country one when working, and eat one himself.
But as long as the other portion is eaten, no one is eating it all over the mouth.
Just like the "Cast Transport Plan" implemented in the Wei River, Li Tai did occupy Jinkou in several states, formulated industry standards, and then stored a little land.
But Li Tai ate more, were there fewer other aristocratic families who smelled the smell of money?
With the unblocking of the Wei River, from the people to the court, no one could rely on the Wei River to gain a lot of hardship.
However, the profit margin of the Wei River has not been completely divided up yet, and the Jiangnan Academy has not been truly built yet, so these aristocratic families just turned their attention to the Grand Canal.
If I really can't help it, I'm afraid I will take the initiative to push the court to take over the Grand Canal in the "Cache Plan" model.
Therefore, although Li Tai is very good at dealing with things, he is not the kind of person who cares about his head and doesn't care about his butt.
Not to mention how well handled everything, but at least it can make everyone involved feel satisfied.
The court itself, and even the aristocratic families that invested money, although it was a game between multiple parties, was satisfied with their gains.
As such, in fact, some people in the court who are somewhat capable are actually quite afraid of Li Tai.
Like Gao Jifu, it is also one of them, because with their thinking in this era, it is really difficult to understand. How can everyone make a profit? There must be one who suffers losses, but they can't find it, so
Only then did I think Li Tai was amazing.
Now that Li Tai had just collected the food from all walks of life in Youzhou, he came to Youzhou to find him.
If I hadn't known that I had no deepest relationship with Li Tai, I would have guessed that I was in the same group as King Yan, otherwise I would have suspected that I was the one who was the same as King Yan.
Gao Jifu was so sad that Li Tai's return to Youzhou must be a big deal similar to borrowing food, and it may not be a trouble for him.
"There are indeed many things in Tianjin. The biggest problem is that Tianjin lacks population, which makes Tianjin's construction speed too slow.
If we don’t completely build most of the structures in Tianjin before the real winter begins, I’m afraid that someone in Youzhou will freeze to death!”
Li Tai sighed helplessly, but said sincerely.
Gao Jifu was unmoved and continued to say,
"Repairing Tianjin City is indeed the top priority. I will ask the Youzhou family to speed up the delivery of food to Youzhou City, so as to ensure that there will never be a single order to delay until after the beginning of winter.
As the president of Youzhou, how can I let the people fall into the cold wind of winter? Otherwise, I will give you another thousand kilograms of firewood!"
Li Tai looked at Gao Jifu's serious suggestions and almost wrote on his face to serve the people wholeheartedly.
But obviously, this guy didn’t want to dispatch Youzhou’s human resources at all!
Li Tai took a deep breath and said, "Gao Changshi, I really need these people to do serious business!"
"King of Yan, your business is a matter. Is it a matter of the court a matter?"
Gao Jifu looked at Li Tai and said seriously, "King Yan, the whole Youzhou is not just a city in Tianjin.
The people guarded the border and served, built bridges and roads, and saved war preparations, which were all part of Youzhou's corvee service and taxes.
So even if I know you need labor to build Tianjin, I can’t just leave the entire Youzhou for Tianjin!”
Listening to Gao Jifu's words, Li Tai understood that under normal circumstances, Gao Jifu would definitely refuse to let him go.
Some of the reasons are that Gao Jifu is responsible for the management of Youzhou and knows clearly that Li Tai is quite good at fooling people.
Those aliens came to Li Tai and were very happy to work under Li Tai's management.
Not to mention the corvee labor under the King of Yan that you met, they all ate three meals a day and had food to take after eating.
Such a market-damaging behavior made Gao Jifu somewhat worried. What if these civilians go to Li Tai to do it and fail to come back.
In this case, you will definitely be dragged down during your future assessment.
After all, for officials, the growth of the local population is a very critical factor. You can't work hard to find a way to manage Youzhou City. As a result, the above checks revealed that the population of Youzhou City has dropped. Thanks to this
!
Those domineering and domineering guys who are not very useful in their opinion give Li Tai a population. For Gao Jifu, that's a no-brainer.
But those honest and diligent people have the advantage of being good families who can farm and will definitely not send them to corvee labor.
Because Gao Jifu was afraid that after these corvee laborers went to see the flower world of Tianjin, they would not come back!
To be realistic, Li Tai is rich and arrogant, because Li Tai really has the ability to make money quickly, but he doesn't have it.
If the corvee laborers in Youzhou enjoy the treatment of corvee labor under Li Tai, then the corvee laborers in Youzhou will not work in the future.
So, Gao Jifu also spread his mind and said, "I know you lack corvee labor, and I know that the people have started to get idle after the autumn harvest, but these people themselves cannot do corvee labor for you in Tianjin."
Li Tai couldn't help frowning. To be honest, facing Gao Jifu's attitude, Li Tai understood that it was impossible for him to directly and large-scale search for Youzhou corvee labor from near Youzhou City.
Of course, if Li Tai is a scoundrel, and sends people to sing songs in the streets and alleys without caring about anything, saying that Tianjin is good and lures the people, Li Tai can do it.
But doing this is equivalent to breaking apart with Gao Jifu, which returns to the relationship between Li Tai and Gao Jifu.
The two are not the normal relationship between the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Youzhou, but there is also a relationship between the prince and the monitor.
Li Tai couldn't have a breakup with Gao Jifu for the sake of Labor because of such a person who is responsible for monitoring himself.
Even if I don’t take the initiative to make friends with him, there is no need to offend him!
"This matter is difficult..." Li Tai couldn't help but think.
I thought about getting labor service and solving conflicts, but after thinking about it, I had no clue.
At this moment, a slightly thick voice came over and spoke:
"It's very appropriate for Gao Changshi to think this way. I originally thought how to get Gao Changshi to be in labor service in the middle of winter."
"Who, who?!" Hearing this sudden voice, Li Tai and Gao Jifu couldn't help but look at the door.
Li Tai saw his old acquaintance Ma Zhou following Du Ruhui and was slowly coming over.
"Du Pushe!" Gao Jifu looked at the person coming and couldn't help but exclaim.
"I've seen Xiang Du!" Li Tai saw Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou, thought for a while and spoke,
"It seems that the court has ordered the implementation of the "Cache Transport Plan" for the Grand Canal."
"Yes!" Du Ruhui nodded and said, "I thought it would delay for a year or two.
Who would have thought that after only staying in the court for a few months, he would have to work hard again.”
Of course, that's it, but in fact, Du Ruhui was still quite excited.
"I thought I would have to wait a few more years before the talent training of Youzhou Academy and Jiangnan Academy can keep up. I didn't expect that it would start construction so early. Can talents keep up?" Li Tai asked curiously.
Hearing Li Tai's words as if nothing had happened, Du Ruhui looked at Li Tai with anger and said,
“It’s not all your fault.
The students who were supposed to be sent to various Jinkou were sent to you by Chu Ke.
You are leisurely in Youzhou, because of this incident, there was a lot of quarrel in the court.
Finally, it was decided that the institution where the imperial court confirmed its position was not allowed to dispatch it privately.
At the same time, the imperial officials also proposed that the Grand Canal "Cache Transport Plan" was implemented at the beginning.
In any case, you can’t take advantage of it in vain, so you can do the talent of Jinkou warehouse in Youzhou!”
"This doesn't seem to be a bad thing!" Li Tai was a little surprised when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
Li Tai looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Then, besides Youzhou, can I invest in building a ferry in other prefectures and counties?"
"Do you still have money?" Du Ruhui said in confusion.
"I heard that you never stopped when you came to Youzhou. You bought land, built cities, and even took the initiative to exchange silk for food.
Although you had 800 large trucks to earn silk when you left Chang'an, how much money do you still have in your hands now?"
Obviously, although Du Ruhui is not in Youzhou, he is still concerned about Li Tai.
After knowing that Li Tai came to Youzhou, he started making trouble. After so much trouble, the funds in his hands must be a bit tight.
"Du Xiang, do you need to be so amazing!" Li Tai sighed and said, "You came when I spent the money!"
"Just know, don't go too far!" Du Ruhui said,
"The decree of the "Cast Transport Plan" in Youzhou will come in a few days. At that time, the people of Youzhou need to clear the canal from the section of Youzhou City to Tianjin City.
Establish two Jinkous in Youzhou City and Tianjin City as benchmarks. Take Youzhou this year and try it out. Next year, the entire Yongji Canal will be built!"
"All the ports along the way have been purchased by aristocratic families!" Li Tai couldn't help but ask when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
"It has not been fully implemented yet." Du Ruhui heard Li Tai's words and said, "However, I had met them when I was surveying the Grand Canal a few years ago. The families of the county and the noble families along the way were willing to pay some money to make the Grand Canal.
Unblock it.”
When Du Ruhui heard Li Tai's words, he answered Li Tai confidently.
"Not mentioning how many county benches are just trying to sell them to Du Xiang, you can take a step back, even if the county benches know that it is beneficial to build this Grand Canal, with the virtue of the aristocratic family, they can pay for it even if they pay for it, even if they know that it is beneficial to build this Grand Canal, they are the same as the virtue of the aristocratic family.
You may not be willing to take out much money, right!"
Li Tai said this, but he smiled, pointed at himself, and said,
"That's why you came to Youzhou. Let me build this canal first and let them see the benefits. Naturally, there will be more people who are willing to build it."
"The King of Yan is indeed smart!" Du Ruhui couldn't help but touch his beard when he heard Li Tai's words, which was a bit tricky!
"No!" Li Tai turned his head and said, "You are looking for a sucker to do something.
The most important thing is what you get, or what the court originally planned to do.
You earned your reputation, but I didn’t make a single point!”
"Tell me directly, what do you want!" Du Ruhui also knew that although Li Tai had a big picture and had a far-sighted vision, when it comes to the art of language, Li Tai was almost zero.
If you follow Li Tai, don’t go around it and just say what you want to say clearly, so that Li Tai will not think wrong.
"I can dispatch part of Youzhou corvee service and build Tianjin ports, roads, and even roads!" Li Tai said.
"Chidao? You are just this small town in Tianjin. What is the point of building a Chidao? Is it so much money to burn it?"
"This is my business, don't worry! Just say you are willing to do it, and promise me to help you work in Youzhou!" Li Tai said earnestly, "But if you don't, then I can only let someone take these from Tianjin first."
The facilities are built."
"..." Du Ruhui really wanted to shout out and get out when he heard Li Tai's words.
But the reality is that Gaoling's corvee service is really easy to use.
When I was building the canal, I was used to using Gaoling corvee, and I couldn’t stand it even if I used ordinary corvee!
As a result, Gaoling's corvee service was dispatched to Youzhou by his brother who should have been beaten up.
Can I just come and ask these people to build the canal? Who told these people to only listen to Li Tai?
Du Ruhui thought of this and looked at Gao Jifu, saying, "Ji Fu, the whole world is not just Youzhou, but the people guard the border and serve, build bridges and roads, save war preparations, these are all part of corvee and taxes.
I know you need labor to build Youzhou, but the reality is that I can't just ignore the Grand Canal that runs across the north and south for the sake of Youzhou!"
"Xiaoguan... I understand!" Gao Jifu looked depressed because he had just said these words!
