PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket encouragement of saury and he. Lao Mi’s birthday today, and it’s 35 years old. I’m going to eat roast duck when I’m old!
In midsummer, the sun shines on the earth with a scorching sun, and people's energy and physical strength seem to have been pulled away a lot, and they seem to be listless.
But in the north of Youzhou Shihefang, a four-entry and cross-yard gate was crowded with cheerful people. Everyone had a happy face, and the strong atmosphere was far beyond the heat of midsummer.
Li Xiaoxi was sweating all over his head, but he didn't care about finding a cool place to rest for a while. With Ji Wenyun, Zhang Jingshao and others who were equally happy, welcoming the guests who came to the gift at the gate.
The new Youzhou Observer and Youzhou Detachment Guo Bingcheng, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yingzhou Army, the military commander of the left wing of the Yingzhou Army, the military commander of the Logistics Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Yuhou Department, the military commander of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the military commander of the Yuhou Department, Zhang Xiaohua, the operations department of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, have all arrived. Inside and outside the courtyard, high-ranking officials gathered in the middle and outside the courtyard.
In addition, there are also children of the wealthy families in Youzhou, officials of all sizes and officials from all over the Jiedu Palace and the Governor's Office, and many military officers at the army, battalion, and the capital-level officers, making the entire courtyard shine brightly.
As the master, Li Xiaoxi, who is the master, is naturally extremely happy. As the first group of old military leaders to surrender to Li Chengzhong, he felt particularly glorious in front of his subordinates. But while he was happy, Li Xiaoxi was also quite anxious. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, the plaque on the storefront had not been delivered, and he had no head when it opened. Isn’t this embarrassing in the entire Youzhou?
Li Xiaoxi even regretted it at this moment, regretting that he shouldn't have believed Ji Wenyun's bewitching and insisted on asking the general for his words with shame, which made it difficult for him to be on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being
Zhang Jingshao walked over carefully and asked anxiously in Li Xiaoxi's ear: "What should I do? The guests are all clamoring to hold a banquet."
Li Xiaoxi replied angrily: "Let them wait!" Seeing Zhang Jingshao helplessly moving forward and retreating, she sighed and said, "Old Zhang, please greet me first. Explain and explain. If the inscription from Dashen is not inscribed, how can this banquet be opened? Well, cut the fruits and fruits and send them to the table first."
Zhang Jingshao had no choice but to agree helplessly, and turned to the hospital to do so. The situation is different now. At this time last year, Li Xiaoxi was just a small head in Yi'er's army. He dared not shout at Zhang Jingshao, but now both of them have changed their status. As subordinates, Zhang Jingshao had to bow to Li Xiaoxi.
At this moment, several cavalrymen rushed over from the corners of the streets and alleys, all dressed in light clothes. When they got closer, Li Xiaoxi looked at them, but did not recognize the visitor, and felt that they were vaguely looking like a Hu man.
Li Xiaoxi was guessing, but Li Daimo might come out to find him. After seeing the person coming, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Begging for work, but I didn't expect you to come and have a drink too!"
The person who came was the original Wuwei tribe, who begged for work to buy. He was familiar with Li Dermo and replied while getting off the horse, "Come here by the order of the commander-in-chief. Why are you here too? It just so happens that there is nothing wrong today, so we two can drink it."
Both of them are Khitans, but they both speak fluent Tang Yan. Li Daimo speaks with a straightforward word and every word is polite. If he doesn't carefully distinguish his appearance, he will never think that he is a Hu Tian. He is a little lacking in begging for work. Although he no longer has a bun on his head, he still cannot change his habit of wearing a big golden ring with one ear. However, his pronunciation is slightly stiff, but considering the time he submitted, it is already quite good.
When Li Xiaoxi heard the three words "begging for work", his eyes immediately burst into laughter. This is a new inspector of the Zhongnanhai Guard Bureau and one of the "Four Chiefs and Two Chiefs" who is equivalent to the general commander of the guards' personal army. It would be a great face to be given to him!
Li Xiaoxi rushed forward in a hurry and bought a horse to hold a horse for begging for work. He couldn't help but thank him, and didn't know what to say.
Begging for work to ask the followers to pick up a long object covered with red silk from the horse. Li Xiaoxi immediately handed the horse rope to Ji Wenyun beside him, bowed his body and took it with both hands, hugged it carefully, and asked someone to quickly raise the wooden ladder, step on it and hang it up.
Li Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and announced that "the auspicious time has come." He invited all the prominent figures that had arrived in the courtyard and watched the ceremony at the gate of the courtyard. With the sound of gongs and drums and dozens of firecrackers singing, Guo Bingcheng, Yang Keshi, Li Diaomo, Han Yanhui, Qihuomai and others took the pole and uncovered the red silk on the plaque. A line of Ganjin characters jumped into the guests' sight: "Youyan Security Corporation".
"This word is really...it's hard to make for Li Xiaoxi..." Guo Bingcheng muttered to himself, glanced at Li Xiaoxi, who was the master, and looked at Han Yanhui again. Both of them couldn't help but pursed their lips and laughed secretly.
Among the guests, there were many civil and military officials who had read books. At this moment, they were as thoughtful as Guo Bingcheng. They shouted "good words" on their mouths, but secretly despised them in their hearts.
Li Xiaoxi didn't care about so many words. What's the use of good and bad words? As long as the coach wrote by himself, it would be the absolute "good words"! Looking at the plaque, Li Xiaoxi was happy to bloom. Of course, he didn't expect that this was Li Chengzhong's hard practice of calligraphy and wrote it nearly a hundred times before he got the "good words". It was because he was not satisfied with writing it and it took a lot of time that the plaque was sent to it.
At the beginning of the banquet, the wine, fish and meat flowed up. The warriors gathered in a place to chant and drink, talked in a loud voice, and the scholars sat in a remote place and whispered quietly, discussing the current situation.
Li Xiaoxi is a person who takes advantage of the situation. He invited so many Lu Long and powerful people to attend the opening ceremony of his company, so he naturally would not waste this good opportunity. At this moment, everything was in harmony, so he took the wine cup and headed straight for Guo Bingcheng and Li Daimo.
When Youzhou was able to fall into the hands of Li Chengzhong intact, Guo Bingcheng made great efforts. He, Zhou Zhiyu and Zhang Zaiji were both "elders" after Li Chengzhong came to this era. In the past two years, he helped Li Chengzhong a lot. After the establishment of the Jiedu Palace, Li Chengzhong recommended to Chang'an, and Guo Bingcheng was appointed as the Youzhou Observer and the Youzhou Neijiao, and the Minister of the Processing Department. The governor of Youzhou was Li Chengzhong's main official, and Li Chengzhong was unwilling to deal with cumbersome government affairs, so in fact, the highest civil affairs officer in the entire Youzhou was Guo Bingcheng.
Youzhou is the leader of Lulong and is the leader of the ten prefectures of Lulong. He is in charge of Youzhou's government affairs, which can be regarded as "rewarding his merits", not to mention that he was given the title of Minister of Works. Although he left the Jiedu Mansion, he moved from the second place to the governor of Shangzhou and his status was different immediately. Guo Bingcheng was happy and half-rejected.
Because of the special relationship with Li Chengzhong, Guo Bingcheng has a very high status in the new Lulong system. He is known as the "Three Elders of Lulong" together with Zhou Zhiyu and Zhang Zaiji. In fact, the three of them are not old when they know their destiny, but from Li Chengzhong, everyone dares to respect these three as "old". Therefore, Guo Bingcheng personally attended Li Xiaoxi's opening ceremony and was considered condescending, but he still came because of Li Dianmo.
After the Yuhou Department was promoted, the Military Orders, Operations, Military Affairs Office, and United Front Office were also promoted. Among them, Han Yanhui, who was transferred from the Education and Chemical Department's Publicity Department, was responsible for the United Front Office, and Li Demo's official position was also promoted to half a level and was the deputy chief of the United Front Office. In addition, Li Demo also served as the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Bohai Kingdom, and because of his identity as the Khitan Division, he was successful in the United Front Office.
But what Li Demo really valued and made him successful is the chairman of the Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Fund. Through this foundation, Li Demo can allocate huge funds to contact many upper-level powerful people, control a large number of workshops and shops, and directly affect the direction of military and political governance. It is said that the reason why the Yingzhou Group took over Lu Long was so fast and smooth is that there is a strong shadow of the Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Fund behind it.
The relationship between Guo Bingcheng and Li Dermo is also closely linked through this foundation link. Since Guo Bingcheng was invited by Li Dermo to serve as the vice chairman of the Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Foundation, Guo's three workshops and seven shops in Youzhou have achieved great success and have signed long-term and huge trade contracts with many large workshops in Yingzhou. With the support of Li Dermo, he is preparing to invest in "Red Lantern Floor" and transformed the Toutiao Hutong into a "Youzhou Pedestrian Street" integrating shops, restaurants and tea shops for walking tours, and cars and horses are strictly prohibited from passing. It is said that Li Shuai has been practicing calligraphy hard recently in Zhongnanhai. The five words "Youzhou Pedestrian Street" are the most diligent in Li Shuai himself.
Guo Bingcheng and Li Dermo came to congratulate the gifts with a clear purpose, and they wanted to take over the military armor and weapons procurement contract from Youyan Security Corporation.
Youyan Security Corporation has a total of the headquarters and nine branches, each with one in Jiuzhou. Li Xiaoxi serves as the company's general manager and Ji Wenyun is the deputy general manager. Zhang Jingshao finally put aside his face and went to Liucheng in person to ask for help from Zhang Laodu's house. Because Zhang Laodu's head spoke, Zhang Xingzhong had to summon Li Xiaoxi and vaguely put forward Zhang Jingshao's idea to Li Xiaoxi. Faced with this top figure in Lu Long's army, Li Xiaoxi said on the spot that he would grant the position of manager of Youzhou branch to Zhang Jingshao. Therefore, Li Xiaoxi used Zhang Jingshao's power to climb to Zhang Xingzhong's house.
Between March and May, Youyan Security Corporation and nine branches were established one after another. Conservatively estimated that its security personnel were about 3,000. According to the forecast of the Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Fund, the total amount of military armor and weapons purchases of Youyan Security Corporation in the next year is likely to reach 20,000 guan, and the annual supplement and repair costs will be stabilized between 10,000 guan.
This business was discussed within the Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Fund and was decided to take over all of the Guo Workshop. As for the procurement of military horses and military rations, it was shared by other directors of the foundation that it was a larger amount.
Li Xiaoxi's Youyan Security Corporation was first established, and its security personnel were still using outdated weapons and the armor was seriously insufficient. In addition, the Security Corporation was still short of horses, so the replacement of soldiers, war horse equipment, and the supply of military uniforms and food supplies are the top problems that need to be solved at present.
After the three of them drank several drinks, Li Xiaoxi led the two into the inner room and immediately went straight to the topic. (To be continued...)
