Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In order to make Wei Xiaokuan feel the sincerity of his fists, Li Tai didn't bother to use any pretentious or self-promoting words. He even made a sincere statement without even asking what the other party's specific requirements were.

After all, he has been deeply involved in the world now. Li Tai is not sure whether the Battle of Yubi will still be the same as the historical process, or whether the direction will be changed beyond recognition under his influence.

So the only thing he can do at the moment is to give Wei Xiaokuan his undivided support in any way to ensure that the jade can successfully withstand the offensive of the Eastern Wei army. And he strives to go to northern Shaanxi during this period, indeed for the sake of the plot. Effective remediation can be carried out when deviations occur.

Hearing Li Tai's statement, both Liu Qiu and Wei Xiaogu were overjoyed. Liu Qiu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Lord Hanoi admires Boshan so much. There are many people who boast of their loyalty, but people like Boshan can't help but sigh." There are not many such heroic people!”

"Liu Shenjun has been greatly praised. Without further ado, if you need anything, please ask Wei Lang."

Li Tai was also curious about the shortcomings of the current Yubi City, so he spoke again.

"My brother has been in charge of Jade Bi for a long time, and his personal savings are quite large. In addition, the common people in Hedong have donated money and materials, and they are quite confident in resisting the Eastern Army..."

Wei Xiaogu first gave a brief explanation of the current situation in Yubi City. This was not a surprise to Li Tai. Wei Xiaokuan's intelligence work was so good, which showed that the military must be well prepared on a daily basis. The big families in Hedong also have the awareness that their lips will die and their teeth will be cold, and they will definitely not sit back and watch Wei Xiaokuan stand alone in the city.

Therefore, Yuwentai did not let Bafu formulate a reinforcement plan for Yubi City, which was not completely irresponsible. Blocking Guanzhong from the military pressure from the Eastern Wei Dynasty was originally the meaning of the existence of Yubi City.

"The Eastern Army has mobilized a large number of troops this time. The next war is likely to be protracted. Therefore, the storage of goods in the old city must be thorough and careful, and no reserve force can be wasted easily..."

Li Tai nodded when he heard this. Although Yubi City has an excellent geographical location, the scale of the city is limited after all. While retaining the living and combat space of the defenders, it is also necessary to store various necessary military supplies. This pre-war situation Various preparations even directly affect the outcome of subsequent wars.

As the top priority of military reserves, grain also needs to be stored in bulk, but ordinary grain takes up too much space, so the military grain cakes produced by Litai Manor naturally become the natural choice.

Although these grain cakes were often imitated when they first appeared, it is recognized in the market today that the ones with the highest quality and the most abundant ingredients are produced by Li Tai’s family. If it were someone like Zhao Gui who could eat up the whole battalion of soldiers, he would be simply endorsing the enemy!

"I will lead my troops back to Huazhou tomorrow. If Wei Lang has nothing else to do, he can go back to his hometown with me and donate the money to Yubi City. You can take as much as you like!"

The most important thing is the mentality on the eve of the war. Li Tai did not talk nonsense and only used practical actions to express his full support for the Yubi defenders.

"Thank you Li Kaifu, thank you! My brother sent me a message saying that the grain cakes made by Kaifu can not only satisfy hunger, but also last for a long time. They are also hard in texture and can even be used as equipment in emergencies... So, So the more, the merrier.”

Wei Xiaogu was grateful to Li Tai for his generosity, but at the same time he said with some embarrassment: "As for the funds for the return, under this situation, we can only use the grain storage in front of the city, and the transportation capacity to the east of the river is in urgent need, so it may be necessary Kaifu sent people to transport them back..."

Li Tai can also understand this. Now the entire Hedong is probably busy preparing for war, and of course there is no spare manpower to transport supplies to Guanzhong.

He originally planned to provide free funding, but it would be difficult to collect and store the stored grains if they were left in Hedong. If captured by the Eastern Wei army, they would still be assets to the enemy, and it would be safer to transport them back to Guanzhong. As for transport capacity, he certainly has it.

So he immediately said that he would arrange for people to transport grain cakes to Yubi, and at the same time transport the grain back from Yubi City. Wei Xiaokuan did not need to be distracted by this.

After Wei Xiaogu heard this, he thanked him again and again. With sufficient material reserves, he was confident to hold on to the city even if Guanzhong did not have reinforcements from the army. The help Li Tai provided them was really great. It was not only a loss of manpower and material resources, but also saved Jingzhao Weishi from becoming the sinners resented by the entire Guanzhong people.

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If I am lucky enough to survive after this battle, Li Kaifu will do something, and the whole family, young and old, will be obliged to do so!"

Things went so smoothly on this trip. Wei Xiaogu was so grateful that he even wanted to bow to Li Tai.

When Li Tai saw this, he hurriedly helped him up: "Wei Lang has really embarrassed me. My brother, I am guarding Jiancheng outside the city to bring benefits and avoid disasters for the whole of Guanxi. I am also here to make a living and enjoy this protection. I should work together." Work together.”

In order to buy time, Li Tai ordered his troops to rush back to Shangyuan to inform the people involved in raising supplies and transporting them. After resting for a day at Longshou Yuanzhuang, he led his troops eastward to return home at dawn the next day. journey.

A few days later, Li Tai and his party arrived in Shangyuan Township.

After hearing the news, the elders in the village came out to welcome him enthusiastically. They were also very happy to see Li Tai lead back such a strong tribal team. Now their interests are deeply tied to Li Tai's. The stronger Li Tai's power is, the better their situation is.

Li Tai was busy with many things and had no time to chat with the fellow villagers and reminisce about the past. After returning home, he immediately summoned several important rural property managers such as Li Zhusheng and Wu Jingyi to discuss the matter of transporting military rations to Yubi City first. Emphasize and instruct them not to neglect, and then have a general understanding of the operating conditions of various industries.

"When I fled westward in a hurry, how dare I imagine that one day I would have such a powerful force!"

Gao Zhongmi came out from Neizhuang Villa after hearing the news, but did not come to see Li Tai immediately. Instead, he took a detour to admire the large group of people, and then returned to the village with a proud look on his face.

"Brother, can you accept me as a cavalry commander?"

Several phoenixes who were following behind also came forward with smiles on their faces, full of fantasies about fighting with each other.

The kid next to him, Li Ya, was not willing to be left behind. He jumped up and shouted, "There's me, there's me! I don't want to be a cavalry commander, I want to be a flag bearer. If the person is there and the flag is not there, the flag will be there!"

While he was talking, he did not forget to arrange for Liu Ang. He put the boy's head under his arm and slapped him while laughing: "Young boy Liu is unworthy of being arrayed and wearing armor. He is only qualified to be a literary and ink official, copying and declaring cloth!"

After being separated for a long time, Li Tai also missed these boys a lot. He didn't feel tired of hearing their noise now. He even happily asked the officer to send them the gifts he had prepared for them in Longyou. After seeing this, they all I couldn't put it down and thanked you profusely.

However, Li Tai did not have time to enjoy this warm rural atmosphere for long. The day after he returned home, the court issued a new appointment for him. In addition to the previously agreed governor of Suizhou, a governor was also added. The military affairs of the two states and five counties.

Yu Wentai was quite particular about this. At least he was not allowed to take up the post with a limp. Although there was no actual funding, he was given all the titles that should be given.

After receiving this formal appointment, Li Tai had no time to stay in the countryside anymore, so he immediately led his troops and set off northward.
