Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

The waiter quickly served the food and wine. On Yu Wentai's desk was a gleaming gold wine bottle, and on Li Tai's desk was a horn cup.

Li Taizheng lamented that the Western Wei Dynasty was really poor. Yuwentai, a powerful minister, could not even provide a complete set of wine utensils for entertaining guests. However, Yuwentai's face suddenly sank. He raised his hand and pointed at the golden bottle on the table and said: "Boshan has I also value your talent, how dare you, the slaves, treat me lightly!"

After hearing this, the waiter knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "The Prime Minister has been living in the foreign palace for a long time. The items used in the ban were given to him years ago. This is the only golden bottle. This is definitely not a sign of neglect for a virtuous minister..."

"Bring me the cup!"

When Yu Wentai heard this, he looked a little embarrassed. He grabbed the gold bottle and threw it to the waiter: "Put this gold bottle in a box and give it to Li Lang's family."

Li Tai did not expect Yu Wentai to do this, but he also knew that he should express his gratitude at this moment, so he quickly avoided the table and stood up and said: "I thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation, but my temperament is not good. It is the same as the gift of the precious weapon." The pearl is cast in secret, I beg you, I dare not accept it.”

"How can we relieve our worries? Only Du Kang. Wei Wu spoke first and told us all about the taste. Boshan, you are young and young, heroic and wise. You don't have worries. You don't need to dissolve the turbidity in the cup. You are enviable!"

When Yu Wentai heard what Li Tai said, he sighed again, held the golden bottle in his hand and looked at it for a moment, thoughtfully, and then stopped mentioning the gift.

The reason why he praised Li Tai so highly was naturally not just the plan to rebuild Longshou Canal.

Although Longshou Canal has a long history, it is not a grand project. Even if it is restored as before, it will only benefit a few counties in Huazhou.

What really impressed him was that the plan submitted by Li Tai was simple and direct, without any rhetorical modification, and the data was detailed and intuitive. Even if he didn't know about Longshou Canal before, he can understand it after seeing it.

Yu Wentai was greatly surprised by this writing skills alone.

As he said himself, he was born in a military family in Beizhen, had limited academic attainment, and did not like literary embellishments very much. Especially when you are in a high position, you have to deal with a lot of official documents, and you also need ministers to be able to discuss matters and speak straightforwardly when they are doing things. If there is too much carving and guessing about the original intention, more energy will be wasted.

This seems to be just a small problem, but it has troubled Yuwentai for a long time.

Pretentiousness in writing is a common drawback of the times. He has also been advocating that official documents state things straightforwardly and be frugal in elaboration. For example, the oaths during last year's general reading were deliberately made in the style of the ancient "Da Gao", but the effect was still limited and the disadvantages were difficult to accumulate. remove.

At this time, seeing Li Tai's simple and pragmatic article, Yu Wentai felt very refreshed when reading it.

The second is Li Tai's proactive attitude and approach, which Yu Wentai appreciates even more.

In the past six months, military and state affairs have been urgent, and Yu Wentai has been troubled by all kinds of important people and things.

However, Li Tai was able to take the initiative to detect and solve problems, without adding burden or trouble to the team, and he was able to make real contributions, which made Yu Wentai feel that good talents are rare.

The third is the coordinating ability shown by Li Tai. As soon as he was introduced to Dongzhou and not long after he was established in the township, he was already able to deeply intervene in and preside over the affairs of the township, allowing these Kansai indigenous people with a rather xenophobic atmosphere to accept and support them. he. This ability is indeed impressive.

"Boshan's talents and sentiments are admirable. If there is anything you can't do as expected, just tell him!"

After Yu Wentai pondered for a moment, he pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile, making no secret of his appreciation and enthusiasm for Li Tai.

Li Tai had other feelings in his heart. He just felt that Yu Wentai was still testing him. If a superior really wanted to reward someone, how could he ask for conditions? Even if you make me a Duke and a general of the Zhu Kingdom, will I refuse?

"I have already received the official title before I have achieved even an inch of merit. I have already deserved it. How dare I ask for it again!"

He thought for a while before giving what he thought was a more appropriate answer, and then said, "If you talk about a wish that you never got, it is indeed hidden. The reason why the villagers are diligent in the canal affairs, to put it in a small way, is to hope that they can start farming. A good harvest, food, clothing, and warmth are all, in a general sense, a wish for a prosperous country and a contribution to the unification of the country. This sentiment and wish are heartfelt, and I am just doing my job out of love to achieve my goal..."

"The rural households involved in the incident will be exempted from all taxes except for rent and adjustment! Children in Dongzhou feel the suffering of the people, how can I not sympathize with them?"

After Yuwentai heard this, he said with a smile, but when Li Tai heard the change of the title, he immediately knew that there was something wrong with his answer. Looking out of the corner of his eyes, he found that although Yuwentai was still smiling, he was still smiling. The smile was only on the surface, making people worried that it might fall off.

Regardless of whether he had violated Yu Wentai's taboos, Li Tai was also very satisfied with being able to win such a reward.

The township had previously lobbied rural households to contribute funds, but the progress was not smooth. Although many people expressed their willingness to join, the specific donation amount was still vague.

He probably wanted to provide some supplies casually, gain a reputation as a participant, and also hope that the canal could be built close to his farmland. He was not as enthusiastic as digging holes to create statues.

But now with Dahangtai's compassionate endorsement, the situation is different. Not to mention the benefits of being exempted from miscellaneous taxes for one year, it is also said that this matter has attracted the attention of Daxingtai.

Li Tai can use chicken feathers as arrows. With such a strong backer, he can naturally play more tricks.

For example, the naming rights of any section of canal or well can be sold for money. In addition, through the dispatch of materials during the canal construction process, a regional logistics network was created to build a large rural market in Shangyuan.

It can even go a step further to upgrade its own industry, introduce rural households into the downstream of the industry, and form closer connections and bundles, etc.

Li Tai had many thoughts in his mind, and he didn't have time to think about the reason for Yu Wentai's sudden cold attitude.

But what Yuwentai said next made him feel horrified.

"Li Lang's preface said that he had no plans to make a living. I thought it was just a modest remark, but seeing how caring you are for others and forgetting yourself, I really spoke from the bottom of my heart. Gaoping was your ancestor's old title, and it is only right that future generations of descendants should follow the rules. The former The appointment has been hasty, and now I am providing food to two hundred households. I hope that you can carry this ancestral style and shine in your family."

Sanjue did not have a city to live in, so Yu Wentai offered to reward 200 households with a city to live in. Although it was an empty meal, it was equivalent to raising Li Tai's title by one level and making him a founding county man.

Li Tai didn't care much about the title, and he didn't feel too happy about being promoted to a higher level. But when he heard Yu Wentai suddenly mention his grandfather, he realized that there was something wrong with his so-called high moral integrity.

Especially the last sentence, asking him to shine in his family, almost reveals "Do you look down on me?"

Although he was alert and awakened, Yu Wentai did not give him a chance to explain. He raised his hand and said: "The East Thief has learned that after He Liuhun retreated to Jinyang, he killed the heirs of Grand Master He Ba to vent his anger. White Hair The old man was shocked to hear the bad news and thought he was uneasy. Li Lang will go away now and have some time to comfort himself, so as not to betray the great master's duty to promote talents."

When Li Tai heard this, he became even less calm and in no mood to defend himself, so he quickly stood up and left.

When Li Tai went out, Yu Wentai suddenly grabbed the gold bottle that was supposed to be given to him on the case and slammed it to the ground: "You are looking down on me!"

The waiters were silent, and Yu Wentai was not in the mood to summon others for a while, so he sat in the banquet and drank by himself.

After a while, Director Yuwen walked in. Before he could sit down, he said with a smile: "I heard that Li Boshan has already paid homage to my uncle. It should be a pleasure to meet him? Is this son true to his name?"

"He's just a wealthy maniac, not worth mentioning!"

After hearing this, Yu Wentai snorted coldly and looked very unhappy. Director Yu Wen was stunned when he saw this and turned to look at the waiter in the room. The waiter did not dare to say anything and only pointed at the golden bottle that was thrown to the ground.

"I'm thinking, if this slave is driven back to Dongzhou, will He Liuhun kill him?"

Yu Wentai spoke again. After hearing this, Director Yu Wen stepped forward, picked up the gold bottle, put it back on the table and said: "If this person is crazy and rebellious, I will kill him for my uncle. How can I allow him to jump to death!"

"That's not necessary, I just lamented, what qualifications do these wealthy people have to be so arrogant and arrogant? How can a mere fugitive from Dongzhou dare to underestimate my family's official title, even if he has little intelligence?"

Yuwentai suddenly felt sad again: "He Bapohu was once a hero who was famous all over the world, but He Liuhun dared to kill his blood heir. Gao Zhongmi was just a mediocre person who had eaten away at the shadow of his father and brother, but he was able to enjoy honors in the East and Xi'an. .

Our family is confident that our talents are not inferior to those of the world's heroes, but every chance of life and future is achieved by risking our lives, and once we fail, our lives will be lost. We Zhenren, no matter how powerful or powerful we are, still despise ourselves from the bottom of our hearts. He Liuhun is like this, and I can’t help it either..."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the document that Li Tai had presented before. He flipped through it again and sighed again: "He is indeed a good talent. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a young man in the world could be so shrewd. Everything he does is If you are willing to offer the platform directly to you, will I not reward you?

This disciple came from a famous family, was knowledgeable in good deeds, and had unconventional methods. He was amazing. If they had the same seniority, Su Lingchuo might not be as good as him. But he is courteous on the outside and arrogant on the inside. He doesn't come to me, which is disappointing! "

When Director Yuwen heard this, he was silent for a while and then said: "If uncle hates him being in the business, why not let me recruit and discipline him?"

After hearing this, Yu Wentai smiled and waved his hands and said: "That's not necessary, it's not worth disturbing the business for this disciple. He may be young and arrogant, and he doesn't see the power. Let's stay in the countryside, watch Sa Bao in his spare time, and tame him as a staff member. If you can feed it, you can kill it.”

At this point, he grabbed the gold bottle and played with it for a while, then threw it to the waiter: "Mold it into a seal and give it to your door."

His previous mood swings were not only caused by Li Tai, but also caused by the death of He Basheng's sons and the mourning for his father, brother and relatives.

Why are those famous families able to go through such troubled times, allowing the east and the west to follow each other, while they, the warriors of Beizhen, have to suffer a lot in the world, and their lives will be lost if they make the slightest mistake?

Yu Wentai is now a powerful person, and he naturally has the answer in his heart, but it is precisely because of this that he feels even more sad: "The official of the forbidden Chinese medicine will stay in the residence of the grand master, and he will give you all the medicine and stones. If anything happens, he will be repaid!"

Second update, there is another chapter in the afternoon. . .
