Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

When Dugu Xin stopped deliberately posturing and intimidating, the atmosphere in the hall finally became harmonious.

Although Li Tai was not intimidated by Dugu Xin, he had to deal with it carefully and give the other party the reaction he wanted to see since he entered the hall, which made him feel a little tired. Fortunately, when it came to talking about business, Duguxin finally stopped showing off.

"When I was recruiting, I talked about the situation and disputes about Boshan's establishment in Beizhou, but there were still a few things that I didn't mention at that time, and I will talk about them today."

Duguxin's expression became serious, he looked directly at Li Tai and said: "Bo Shan, you must have heard a lot of all kinds of envious and complimentary words. And there are many rules and regulations in the Beizhou camp. Consider them as achievements in the coming year." But if I say that your plan will probably fail, you will probably feel unhappy, right?

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't accept it. He really wanted to hear Dugu Xin's opinion, but he didn't expect that Dugu Xin would completely deny his career when he opened his mouth, and his brows could not help but frown slightly.

Seeing Li Tai's obvious dissatisfaction, Duguxin smiled again and said: "In ancient times, all great achievements were made by the shape of mountains and rivers, or by the power of a king's business. If it is not the two, they are all inferior choices. . Boshan, you are very intelligent. Can you tell me clearly which category Beizhou belongs to?"

When Li Tai heard this, his expression froze. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Thieves and barbarians are rampant in Beizhou and have been a scourge on the earth for a long time. The barbarians have been desolate for many years, and the people are not..."

"Although these are all facts, they are all clichés. Boshan, you have personally fought against the thieves. Based on the facts, how powerful are these thieves? Can they be called giant bandits?"

Duguxin waved his hand to interrupt Li Tai's words, then asked again.

After Li Tai heard this, he shook his head honestly and said: "Although Zhubu Luojihu has many clans and a good reputation, his combat power and fighting spirit are not high. He cannot be called a giant bandit, but he is stubborn in nature." , who are willing to take risks rather than treat others, are also stubborn thieves who need to be careful and suppressed. "

"The imperial court has been doing these things. Boshan, do you think your strategy is better than those of your predecessors?"

Hearing this question, Li Tai suddenly became energetic. He had done and had so much to say.

First of all, they did not just wipe out and leave like their predecessors. Instead, they took root in Beizhou and established a management and control system such as three defense cities, which can suppress and prevent and control Jihu forces within the territory for a long time.

Then he advocated the Taiwan government to implement the salt diversion and opening up laws, so as to make full use of the human and land resources in northern Shaanxi, so that the human resources under his control would become more and more abundant, and then organize a more powerful armed force.

Some of this can be said, and some cannot be said. Li Tai cut out the complex and simplified it, and gave a general introduction to his personnel foundation in Beizhou, with special emphasis on the development potential of the three-defense city. Not only to show off his planning and management capabilities, but also to persuade Duguxin to increase investment in himself.

But after listening to it, Duguxin first showed some praise to Li Tai, but then quickly shook his head and sighed: "So, Boshan, do you want to use this three-defense city to take advantage of the management, or do you want to rely on it?" Are these three cities your contribution to the creation? If it’s the former, you’ve done a great job. If it’s the latter, I really can’t see where your contribution comes from!”

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this. It's not that he hadn't thought about this problem, but he didn't think as far as Dugu Xin did.

Of course he is not satisfied with just building three defensive cities. No matter how many cities he builds and how well they are built, can they be as good as Jade City? That was the life-saving straw for the entire Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, and its significance was of great importance to life and death.

Li Tai positioned the three-defense city as a place to raise his troops. When it has a certain power, he can...

When his thoughts reached this point, they suddenly stopped. Then Li Tai realized that he was a little confused because he didn't have a clear plan or goal for what to do next.

"When rivers flow into the sea, things always come back to the family line. Although Beizhou is disturbed by Hu Huang, it does not affect the overall situation. It is just a shallow pond within the general trend. The growth of some personnel will be scattered outside, and it will not be consolidated and stabilized at all. Boshan, although you If you create this business, it will only benefit your neighbors, and it will hardly be able to consolidate your roots!”

Duguxin saw that Li Tai was still a little confused, so he went further and said: "Things in the world are complicated, but in this world, the only thing that can be called a great achievement is defeating the Eastern bandits and reviving the great unification. Apart from this, the rest Nothing is worth investing in!"

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel enlightened. Duguxin analyzed his situation very clearly.

At present, in addition to being in charge of Luoshui Water Conservancy, he also has nearly 10,000 people in the three defense cities. He seems to have good authority and has been praised and praised by the masses. But in fact, his so-called power and position have always been illusory and cannot be down-to-earth.

In the final analysis, his importance does not depend on the size of his power, but on his responsibilities and obligations.

After a few good days since the founding of the Dushui Administration Bureau, the government forced it to sell its property under an order from the Taiwanese government.

Although the property was eventually bought by Li Tai, this incident also shows that in the eyes of the Taiwanese government, the importance of the Department of Water Resources being able to maintain normal operations is far less important than the normal holding of this year's parade. , naturally we can levy as many as we can, and there is no need to exhaust the lake to catch fish.

In the same way, if the people gathered in the Three Defense City organizations are needed elsewhere in Taiwan, they will inevitably be recruited at any time without discussion. Even if these three defensive cities were breached by Jihu again, the situation would just return to before, which is completely acceptable.

However, does the government dare to call back the Yubi City garrison to participate in the review? And does it dare to let Wei Xiaokuan empty the treasury to support the government?

In other words, the current states in northern Shaanxi do not have much strategic value, and there is no reason to gather too many personnel and materials. No matter what achievements Li Tai makes there, these achievements will soon be divided up by other more demanding aspects.

Although he only regards northern Shaanxi as a springboard to accumulate strength, the anxious financial situation of the Western Wei Dynasty and Yuwen Tai's hungry style, he has to start before he can fatten it up!

Li Tai has considered that as this business grows bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that someone will jump out to pick peaches. For example, not long ago, Yuwen Hu wanted to insert his confidants, naturally not because he was worried that he was short of manpower.

But after Dugu Xin's analysis, Li Tai realized that he was still too naive, or he was not used to the style of these soldiers who exhausted the pond to fish and lived one day at a time.

What about the restoration of the great unity? Those are all empty words. To put it bluntly, the most important and fundamental task of the Western Wei Dynasty is to fight with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Gao Huan! All the personnel resources in the Western Wei Dynasty are all operated around this core task.

No matter who it is, the deeper and closer it is to this matter, the more important it is. Otherwise, even if you are the emperor, if you can't help, you have to stand aside!

Li Tai originally planned to persuade Dugu Xin to use Yang Zhong as a bridge to transfer some personnel resources to northern Shaanxi, but after listening to Dugu Xin's explanation of the key points, he realized that it was even a problem whether he could survive in northern Shaanxi, so what reason was there to persuade Dugu Xin?

But since Dugu Xin understood this, why did he let Yang Zhong return to the inner state and garrison nearby?

Dugu Xin seemed to see Li Tai's doubts, and said with a smile: "The troubles of the Hu people in Beizhou are a big disturbance. The three cities have secretly set up a plan to cultivate land. If the situation cannot last long, it will become cumbersome. We can either cut them off on the spot or distribute them to several states. If Yang Zhong lives nearby, he may be able to share some of the power that you, Boshan, have managed in that place." Li Tai was also a little amused when he heard this. He thought he had calculated very shrewdly, but he didn't expect Dugu Xin to take advantage of the situation and also plan to share some benefits from him. "However, this dilemma is not unsolvable, right? Beizhou also has many river defenses. If we can manage the situation well, we may be able to change the situation next year and cross the border to attack the bandits!" Li Tai has invested a lot of effort and time in the management of Beizhou, so he is naturally reluctant to give up. After a little hesitation, he said again. Although the strategic position of northern Shaanxi is not too high at present, there is no reason to gather too many human resources, but if it can become a bridgehead for attacking Eastern Wei, its importance will naturally increase. "You have ambition!" Dugu Xin smiled slightly after hearing this, and then looked at Li Tai and said, "Then Boshan, how many generations do you plan to work hard to complete this offensive and defensive change?" Li Tai was speechless again after hearing this. It wouldn't take many generations. In about twenty years, Yang Zhong would be able to launch an attack on Northern Qi from the north. Although he returned without success, at least he had achieved the offensive and defensive change. "In fact, the broad road is right in front of you. Boshan, you really don't have to turn to other places or submit to the prefectures and counties." Dugu Xin saw that Li Tai was a little frustrated, so he smiled again and said, "Now the country has expanded its military forces, and the military appearance is better than in previous years. Anyone who is brave and powerful inside and outside can be proud to be among them. Boshan, you are a rising star in this prefecture, and you are frequently listed in the merit book. If you can be listed, you will be at the forefront, which is much better than the previous position with many things to do but little achievements." Li Tai heard this and understood what Dugu Xin meant. He hoped that he would give up the affairs in northern Shaanxi and return to the Bafu to seek a position in the six armies. This is actually a relatively good arrangement. The father-in-law and son-in-law live outside and inside respectively, echoing each other and producing various cooperation.

With the resources provided by Dugu Xin, Li Tai can develop in the six armies with peace of mind and establish his position in the Fubing system early. And Dugu Xin no longer has to worry about being gradually sidelined after staying in the border for a long time, at least he still has Li Tai, his son-in-law, as his own.

However, this ideal state obviously requires giving up some things to be achieved, such as Li Tai's own freedom and development space. So he is quite reserved about Dugu Xin's proposal.

Both of them are very opinionated people. Although the closer relationship allows them to have in-depth discussions on some issues, one side will not completely follow the other side blindly. This is also the first contest between the father-in-law and son-in-law.

Recently, I have been trying to quit smoking and change my attitude towards life. The withdrawal reaction of more than ten years of smoking makes people collapse. The state is not very good. Today, I will only update once... Please forgive me...
