Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

After returning from Duguxin's home, Li Tai could not calm down for a long time.

There are only a few major events in life. Although he often has the idea of ​​​​selling them at a price, when he really has to face them, he still feels anxious about gains and losses. He just feels that this guy Dugu Xin is too bad and he can't say anything. On the surface, the ambiguous hints made him feel confused and sleepless at night.

Since I can't sleep, I have to find something to do. He dug out the letters he had exchanged with Lady Miaoyin in the past, spread them out on the desk and read them carefully. From the lines of the words, he imagined the lady's demeanor and behavior when she was writing letters at her desk.

Putting aside concerns about interests, his aesthetic taste is generally normal, and of course he hopes that his future spouse will be a pleasing beauty.

I usually don't think about it seriously, but now that I think about it carefully, I gradually feel that the little lady's voice and smile really touch the heartstrings. Her personality may be a bit unruly, but she is also warm and lively, which makes people like her. Especially when he occasionally reveals a little admiration for himself intentionally or unintentionally, it is really a throbbing emotion that no one can refuse.

"Alang, why don't you go to bed yet?"

Gao Bailing walked through the hall and saw Li Tai sitting alone at the desk. He came over and asked with concern. He smelled the smell of alcohol and ordered his servants to prepare some sobering soup.

"Young Master Six didn't go to rest either? Alas, the household affairs are complicated, and you, an old man, are burdened a lot. There is always a housewife who is in charge of the house, and my uncle and I, both widowers, are not very careful people."

Seeing Gao Bailing coming, Li Tai put away the letters with some embarrassment and sighed.

"Who says it's not the case, but my lord is in a lazy and sad state of mind, and I'm afraid he has no intention of remarrying in a short period of time. But Alang, you really need to think about it. I happened to be visiting various families recently, and look at you, Alang, who is so hot that you can't sleep after a long night. She must be worried about some good lady from that family?"

Gao Bailing sat down, pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile: "This is a great happy event for the household. If the mistress really takes charge of the household, everyone's hearts will be cheered up!"

When Li Tai heard this, he felt a bit shy that he had not seen for a long time, and sighed in distress: "Oh, it's hard to say! I don't need to think about it carefully, but there is no one in other people's families. It’s such a firm statement, I feel a little flustered when I think about it.”

"How can someone like A Lang not fall in love with someone like him? If A Lang can't even get into his eyes, he must have such a withdrawn and perverse temperament. Even if they get married, I'm afraid they won't be able to maintain their friendship in a friendly manner!"

"This is the truth, but things in this small area are the most elusive. If you are not moved by passion, you can make do with all kinds of people and things. But if your mind is really affected, you always feel that it is necessary. If your heart is being manipulated, you will be worried. Happiness is inevitably controlled by others!”

When Gao Bailing heard what Li Tai said, the smile on his old face became even brighter: "Alang is the first-class wise and talented person in the world, how can he still be confused when encountering such a thing? All love affairs in this world are nothing more than charming looks, clever words, and seduction. Wealth is used to invite pleasure, force is forced, and courage is captured. There are so many methods at Alang's disposal. How can you say that happiness and sorrow are controlled by others? "

After listening to Gao Bailing's analysis, Li Taicai remembered that his family had this tradition: if you don't get what you want, then grab it. The thought of going to Dugu Xin's house to rob someone is really exciting. This old guy really doesn't teach others good things.

However, his thoughts were just idle daydreams. Dugu Xin's performance should have really meant this. The reason why he didn't express it was naturally because the timing was not appropriate, and it was not that he was deliberately hanging on him.

This matter is more or less complicated. Not only Dugu Xin, but he himself is also in some trouble.

If he really marries Duguxin's daughter, Yuwentai will always look bad. Even if he doesn't become angry, his situation in Bafu will inevitably become embarrassing, and his position will be greatly changed. In the short term, this is not a good thing.

But in the long run, being Duguxin's son-in-law is far more free than Yuwentai's son-in-law, and the degree of choice is much greater, especially during the Yuwenhu period. On the day of the wedding, Yu Laoer was drunk by Yu Wenhu until he burst into tears. Although it was just a game, Yu Wenhu's strength was evident.

If he becomes the son-in-law of the Yuwen family, he will not gain much from his power, but he will be in a lot of trouble. If he does not become Yuwen Hu's core supporter, the wolf cubs of the Yuwentai family will never let him live too comfortably or instigate him. Fighting with Yu Wenhu is also a basic operation.

These little cubs look harmless to humans and animals, but in fact they are very wild. As long as Yu Wenhu can handle it easily, he will not kill the king one after another, and it will be over with a weak hand!

But if you become Dugu Xin's son-in-law, you can not only strengthen your sense of identity among the town's people, but also don't have to bear too many moral costs. You can avoid mutual harm within the Yuwen family, and your situation and choices will be more calm.

Although there will inevitably be conflicts and conflicts with Yuwen Hu and power struggles, that situation is completely different from being the son-in-law of the Yuwen family. It can also be more convenient to form his own camp and power to ensure the purity of the team. At least I don't have to worry about being invited into the palace by Yu Wenyong one day to read "Jiu Gao" to the Queen Mother.

Gao Bailing watched Li Tai's iron tree blooming and began to seriously consider his life-long affairs. He was also very happy. He still wanted to discuss emotional issues with him in detail and say a few words of "Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian".

But Li Tai just couldn't control his thoughts after drinking. After chatting for a few words, the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually disappeared. After drinking two bowls of soup to relieve hangover and warm his belly, he left Gao Bailing, who was chatting heavily, to go home and rest.

Early the next morning, Li Tai and his family prepared some gifts, and he rushed with dozens of followers to see Yang Zhong off.

He still wanted to suggest to Yang Zhong that if possible, he should seek an appointment in the prefectures and counties around northern Shaanxi. If possible, it would be best to succeed Chang Shan in Xi'an Prefecture.

After the Yanyin reform, the profits of Yanchi have been unified. If combined with the Kaizhong method, it will be a very important military and national plan. Li Tai's management of the northern Shaanxi area is also based on this basis to a certain extent. It is also very important to maintain a good interaction with the town generals in this area.

What's more, Yang Zhong is really brave, and he is not as senior and respected as other Beizhen military leaders. With the two-level relationship between He Basheng and Duguxin, there will be no problem of poor communication when working together.

If this can be done, it will also be of great benefit to Duguxin. At present, Duguxin is isolated from the core of the gradually formed Fubing ecosystem, and Yuwentai will never allow him to participate deeply in various military operations in the later period.

Although he had been in Longbian for a long time, as the Western Wei Dynasty's overall business grew larger and larger, Dugu Xin's power and influence inevitably declined relatively. In the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Datong, he was replaced by Director Yuwen. He lost control of Longyou as a whole and was trapped in Heyang, Longshang. When he returned to the court and was promoted to Zhuguo, he was easily ignored.

Although Yang Zhong is an old relative of Dugu Xin, he is quite wise in protecting himself and his factional tendencies are not strong. Coupled with his outstanding military ability and personal force, Yu Wentai also appreciated him very much.

If he can sit in Xi'an Prefecture, in addition to the salt benefits of the region itself, he can also use this bridge to carry out some personnel interaction between Longyou and northern Shaanxi.

Although Yuanzhou is separated from each other by Yuwentai's die-hard home base, these personnel contacts are not aimed at fighting against the Bafu. They will only benefit each member. The Gaoping and Li brothers will certainly not refuse.

Duguxin has been in Long for many years, and Yuwentai must also be happy to see the personnel power he has accumulated diverted to Neizhou.

After all, at this point in time, Yuwentai actually has no good way to completely control Duguxin. He did not have the ability to predict the future, and he could predict that Gao Huan would soon die and Hou Jing would create a great strategic turning point for the Western Wei Dynasty.

In the absence of a better choice, diversion and guidance of Dugu Xin's entangled forces is an option worthy of Yuwentai's consideration.

For Duguxin, he can bypass geographical restrictions, diversify the resources at his disposal, and avoid the risk of clearing out all the money. Short-term concessions and self-weakening are actually exchanged for greater political survival and development space.

As far as Li Tai is concerned, from a small point of view, it doesn't matter whether you are willing to marry your daughter to me in the end. Get the dowry first. From a large perspective, it formed a political alliance from the local government to the imperial court, which was loose but substantial.

Although it is still under the control of Yuwentai Bafu at the moment, when Yuwen Hu comes to power, his Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office will not be as strong as Yuwentai Bafu. This alliance can operate completely independently of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Palace. Whether in court or in the town, Li Tai could always provide support, but Yu Wenhu couldn't hold him to death.

However, to create this situation, it is obviously difficult to convince the other party based on his current relationship with Duguxin. After all, Duguxin's current situation is not yet difficult and dangerous, let alone his complete trust in Li Tai.

Time and opportunity are fleeting. Once the Battle of Yubi is over and a series of dizzying changes occur, Yuwentai will no longer give him so much room for maneuver. It will be difficult to build this connection again. .

Therefore, it is also a top priority to seize this moment to substantially improve the relationship with Dugu Xin and preserve Dugu Xin's accumulated output as much as possible. Before, the opportunity was slim and the idea was not deep, but now that he has seen the possibility, Li Tai never wants to let it go.

It's a pity that Yang Zhong still cherishes words like gold. Although he listened to Li Tai's ideas and suggestions, he did not make any clear statement. As for Dugu Xin, he didn't come to see him off at all, and Li Tai couldn't have an in-depth conversation even if he wanted to.

After sending Yang Zhong away, he was still hesitating whether to visit Dugu Xin's house again. It would be better to meet the young lady and see what was different from the last time he said goodbye.

But I just went there yesterday and I went again today. In Duguxin's eyes, would he think that he was too impatient and unreserved, jumping up and down at the slightest hint?

He was still hesitant here, but he didn't want Dugu Xin's family to come and make an inexplicable request: He was asked to search for ten tiger skins in the next few days and send them to Dugu Xin's house as soon as possible, and he was not allowed to come to the house until the goods were ready.

Li Tai is really speechless. I have big plans here and am planning to empty out your family. How can I be in the mood to skin you?

This thing is not like foxes and rabbits running around in the wild. They are everywhere. How did the tiger offend you? If you want a tiger whip, you can still have some reverie, but if you want a tiger skin, what fun is it! I can't even give you a tiger's whip. If you open your mouth too much, you'll be burdened. Don't bring up a few brothers-in-law to compete with me for family property.

Sorry, sorry, something was delayed today, so I can only finish one chapter. . . It's very sad that I haven't saved my manuscript. Please start saving your manuscript as soon as possible. . .
