Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In addition to changes in the textile model, Li Tai also split out some of the processing links of his own industry, such as the processing of oil in oil mills and papermaking.

There are also some local tycoons who are eager to claim it. After all, Li Tai is responsible for the technology and upfront costs, and Li Tai is responsible for buying back the products produced. Their risks and investments are very small.

However, most local wealthy people are still relatively conservative, and overall their enthusiasm for this is not as high as that of textiles.

Li Tai didn't care about this. After all, people's livelihood in Kansai was still relatively fragile, and there was nothing wrong with farming and weaving as the foundation. If everyone stops farming, even if he has money, he will have nowhere to buy food.

After this round of cooperation negotiations, Li Tai's image in the eyes of everyone is slightly different. It can be said that he is recognized by the masses as the undoubted leader in the village. There is still a person sitting here, but there are more than 7,000 looms and more than 700,000 pieces of cloth!

In the entire Huazhou, and even in the entire Kansai region, there are very few people who can leverage and control so many rural resources. This is the most intuitive manifestation of prestige and power.

After the business talk was over, the villagers presented all kinds of food, wine and dishes. Everyone drank and ate as much as they could, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

During the banquet, Li Tai introduced Li Yantou, who had recovered from his injuries, to everyone. Li Tai had previously killed Liu Zhenqiang, and Li Tai took credit for it and was awarded a fifth-grade general and the title of governor. Last year, the title of Governor could be bought by donating money and grain, but this year it has become more expensive.

The Fangcheng in Chengcheng County was already under construction. Li Tai planned to arrange Li Yantou to serve as the defender of this Fangcheng. The introduction to everyone was also to pave the way for him to lead the township regiment.

Before this year's parade, all the states were wiped out and turned into soldiers. However, after the parade, a large number of township regiments were disbanded, and it was inevitable in Huazhou.

The more than 300 rural warriors that Li Tai had recruited before directly became his personal tribe. However, Yuwen Tai had previously stated that Bafu would be responsible for the material consumption of the two defenses in northern Shaanxi. He also realized that as the material base improved, Yuwen Tai's Tai wanted to tighten his power, and he could no longer allow the generals and powerful forces to increase in an disorderly manner.

So if Li Tai wants to openly recruit private songs from the countryside, he has to be careful. Since we can no longer recruit broadly from individual local tycoons, we naturally have to learn to win over powerful people and recruit these local tycoons into their respective groups.

Therefore, Li Tai took advantage of this atmosphere to announce to everyone that he would recruit another thousand rural regiment soldiers and assign them to Li Yantou to guard the Fangcheng in Chengcheng County.

Everyone present was extremely excited after hearing this, and each enthusiastically expressed their willingness to let all their children follow him into the army. There is a strong martial arts culture in Kansai, and a bow and sword can make you stand out from others. Li Tai's benevolence and righteousness are also obvious to all.

When Shang Yuan recruited soldiers before, many children from other families showed up, but unfortunately they were not selected because the standards were too high. Now that there is another opportunity and the standards are relaxed, it is natural to rush for it.

Seeing that the night was getting darker, Li Tai asked Li Yantou to stay and host the banquet on his behalf, while he and Liu Min returned to the valley villa to sober up and rest.

After returning to the villa and sitting down, Liu Min, who was already a little drunk, first drank several bowls of ginger soup to sober up and warm up, and then said to Li Tai with an exaggerated expression: "In previous years, I also prided myself on treating others with dignity. Smart, but after seeing your words and deeds today, Boshan, I know what a true wise man is in the world. I am ashamed of myself, so ashamed... You can integrate nostalgia here, gather people's hearts and material resources, even without the protection of your family ancestors. , there must be a place for you, Boshan, in this world, I admire you, I really admire you!”

Liu Min said this, and Li Tai never argued with him. It was indeed not easy for him to be able to achieve this step. With the surge in popularity in the countryside, the bonus brought by family background is indeed very small. Although the Li family in Longxi has a high family background, it has not been popular for a long time. If it were just family background, the local tycoons would not care who he is.

However, he deliberately left Liu Min to attend the party, not to show off and listen to two rainbow farts. Seeing Liu Min's thinking gradually regaining clarity, he smiled and said: "I am really not ashamed of the situation in this country." It’s a compliment. I would also like to ask Brother Liu if he is willing to share the benefits of this hometown friendship.”

"Boshan, do you want to suggest that I move to this hometown? This, this is really sudden... Although there are frequent wars in my hometown and the people's livelihood is very difficult, after all, it is hard to leave the old love!"

Liu Min's thinking was still a little slow at the moment. After hearing this, she shook her head and sighed. He indeed envied Li Tai's reputation as a local capital in this town, but he couldn't talk about becoming a vassal here.

"Brother Liu, you have misunderstood. You are stuck in the dirt of your hometown, and you don't love your hometown. I, a poor man who has lost my hometown, live here. I know how hard it is, and I really envy you, Brother Liu, for having the nostalgia to watch and rely on me." "

After Li Tai heard the words, he patiently explained: "Brother Liu, you should know that this township has considerable resources. If we can get along well with each other, it will be beneficial to others and ourselves. Brother Liu will return to the hometown to supervise the creation of salt administration. I I don’t dare to ask for advice in private, but if you can help my hometown, I will do my best to repay you on behalf of the villagers.”

Liu Min finally understood what Li Tai meant when he heard this. He raised his hand to rub his face and then pondered again. Then he looked at Li Tai and said seriously: "Boshan, you have said this, and I am not hiding it." . When I came here before, I was full of troubles and worries. I only thought that the future would be gloomy and difficult, and I even had some thoughts of being world-weary. My son Tongyin planned to entrust me here to Boshan, while I returned home to work with the intention of death..."

"But after hearing your talk, Boshan, I realized that Daxingtai was still kind to me, and all my previous thoughts were foolish. I am grateful, and I can only repay it wholeheartedly! But life is impermanent, and it is really difficult for people to It’s impossible to guard against it. Boshan, you are still willing to discuss the plan, I am really happy, at least in Boshan’s view, I am not a stupid person!”

At this point, Liu Min straightened his sitting posture slightly, and then continued: "Boshan, since you can trust me, I have the nerve to entrust you with this matter again. There are a lot of people in the village who have a lot of money and little capital, and they don't need to spend this on pro-party food, but still It requires a lot of effort and consideration, Boshan, if you don't give up, I would like to send this batch of supplies to you, and you can use them according to your own plans. If the pro-party is in need of supplies in the coming year, I hope you can follow this sentiment and help. a bit."

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this. He kept Liu Min to show off the village's financial resources and deepen their cooperation.

For example, I give a few points for salt. Salt is hard currency and fast-moving consumer goods at any time. Li Tai will also raise supplies worth up to 500,000 pieces of cloth to rural households in the coming year. If he can deliver part of it in salt, it will naturally satisfy the people.

When the time comes, he will go to northern Shaanxi to establish and implement his method of opening up China. Naturally, these rural manpower and materials can be more easily introduced to northern Shaanxi dispatch.

However, he did not expect that the effect he received from Liu Min was greater than he expected. Liu Min admired his management ability so much that he even entrusted his family wealth to him to manage it on his behalf.

If you think about it carefully, this incident is not unexpected. Even the Changsun family has such a strong sense of urgency and wants to reserve a retreat in the Beidi Mountains. Of course, other people also have such demands and expectations.

Liu Min's family is on the front line of Hedong, and when he entered Guanzhong to work, he had the mission of planning the family's prospects and hedging risks.

However, because he unintentionally offended the Changsun family, his personnel management in Guanzhong for several years was almost destroyed. Faced with this situation, it was also urgent to make other plans to spread risks.

The current situation has been turbulent all year round. Although people from wealthy families like Liu Min have no worries about food and clothing, they also face a relatively helpless problem, that is, they have money that they cannot spend.

It is a relatively common practice to build a temple in the mountains and hide it like the Changsun family did, but it is inevitable that people like Li Tai and Liu Min will accidentally loot it.

Li Tai guessed that Liu Min's family must have a similar arrangement, but after he destroyed someone else's secret lair, he realized that this was not safe enough. He also saw Li Tai's ability to control the situation in the countryside, so he naturally thought of entrusting it to Li Tai.

Even if money is hidden in a mouse hole, it will inevitably be stolen. But if you put it here with Li Tai, as long as Li Tai is still there, the money will be stable. Even if Li Tai can find a more promising future next year, there is no need to mention this money again.

"Brother Liu, since you can trust me, I will not refuse. No matter whether this sum of money is a profit or a loss, if there is even a drop left in the jar in Boshan's household, I will cut it open with my brother and eat it!"

Li Tai doesn't have to worry about having money to spend. His current lending scale is limited to the first batch of Qu League seniors. The Qu League is still developing, and he also has some plans that require large investments.

For example, they negotiate with county and county governments through canal alliances to invest in infrastructure construction in their territories in exchange for sharing some resources. If you don’t have money to build canals, I’ll pay for it, but I’ll have to dig this coal mine for two years. How many cash crops will you plant in your territory to provide me with raw materials?

Although he had gained a lot in the Northland, it would still take a long time to fully realize it. To promote a larger plan, the financial resources were still insufficient, and the materials Liu Min had stored could be invested.

When Liu Min saw Li Tai nodded in agreement, he also laughed: "I have eyesight on what Boshan's talent is. If we make this agreement today, the young people in the household will be blessed for the rest of their lives!"

But Liu Min was still too optimistic. In the corridor of the outer hall, Li Ya, who was no longer as unruly as before, stood sideways next to Shu Feng, pointing at Liu Ang who was tired from playing in the room and was sleeping soundly with a toy in his arms. It was quite a bitch. He smiled flatteringly at Guo Feng and said, "Brother, this guy wants to live here forever, why don't we give him a try?"

After hearing this, Shuifeng rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully: "That's still a child, can you do it?"

"What can't you do? Once you come to the door, you have to teach them the rules of the house! Although I was very difficult at the time, brother, look at how dignified I am now!"

Li Ya said eagerly, not at all because this boy was soft-hearted at a young age, and repeatedly explained the benefits of a beating, as if he had become a disciplinary model who abides by the sect's rules.
