Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Lu Shuhu seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. After hearing Li Tai's question, he perked up. He first put down the wine glass in his hand and his expression became serious.

"Boshan, you have high ambitions and a prosperous career. At a young age, you have reached a level that none of your relatives and elders can reach. I, an idler outside of work, have spent half my life, what qualifications do I have to teach you, a strong man in work? It's nothing more than relying on you. Based on the closeness of blood ties, I added a few words, whether you like it or not, it’s up to you.”

Although the relationship between uncle and nephew is very close, after all, there is a huge gap in power and status between them. Therefore, Lu Shuhu did not pretend to be an elder and criticize, but said calmly: "I heard Zigang say that Bo Shanqian is now a household member. There is only one breath in it, which is really bad. Although your uncle is not talented, he still has several breaths below the beast, so why?

Regardless of whether you are an official or a scholar, if you want to inherit it, it depends on people. Although the family is extremely poor, there are poor people who keep the house, the family tree is always green, and the tombs of the ancestors are not deserted. The Buddha's compassion is not limited to those who have no heirs and are alone. Boshan, you are now involved in the welfare of all people and the destiny of a country. It is even more necessary to have more descendants to benefit the family and the country. "

Li Tai had already put on an attitude of being attentive and wanted to hear what his uncle had to say about his military and national plans, but he didn't expect that Lu Shuhu would talk about his family problems when he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while, so he nodded repeatedly. Said: "My uncle taught me that my parents often reminded me of this matter. The former is because the military government is busy with affairs, and often travels with the army, so there is no time to maintain health. Now that I have entered the court and have the help of the masses, I must do my best. "

"Your parents may have neglected you, causing you to live in Kansai and struggle to make a living. There are some things that I can't say more about. Since I entered Kansai, I have also learned from the people that the power you have now is really unfortunate. , are all the result of hard work. Especially your father-in-law, Mr. Hanoi, has shown deep concern for you, which is touching. Now that Mr. Hanoi has suffered a tragedy, you should take good care of the people left behind. "

Lu Shuhu looked at Li Tai seriously and said seriously. After Li Tai heard this, he nodded and said, "My father-in-law is indeed very kind to me, so I am also very attentive to his family affairs. I hope I can take good care of him."

"It's not just your father-in-law's family matter, it's also your own family matter. There is still one thing you haven't dealt with thoroughly enough, maybe you haven't even noticed it yet."

Lu Shuhu paused briefly when he spoke here, as if he was considering his words. After a while, he spoke again: "I don't know if the Duke of Hanoi has ordered you to discipline your household servants, but even if there is, it is best not to obey it.

This is not an evil talk, but because of your current status, there will definitely be people vying for advancement and favor with you. If you ask for something but don't get it, you will inevitably become resentful. In the past, the Duke of Hanoi was in charge of the family, and no one dared to argue with him even if he had grievances. Now, the Duke of Hanoi is young and difficult to support, so he needs your more care.

This has been favored. If the family is still exclusive and domineering, all the resentments will inevitably gather together. Since your family is not a secluded home with few righteous people and few relatives and friends, criticism from everyone will inevitably lead to slander. It is said that what a thousand people have pointed out will end without a cure, and the words will stop here. It is better for me to self-examine myself. "

Li Tai also frowned after hearing this, not because he was irritated or annoyed because Lu Shuhu was pointing fingers at his family affairs. After all, the uncle-nephew relationship is a very close kinship. To put it bluntly, if Zhuang and his brother unfortunately die, Li Tai will be responsible for providing for his uncle in his old age and inheriting the family property. The ranking will also be preceded by the sons and daughters of their Lu family. before them.

Therefore, Lu Shuhu could speak eloquently about his family affairs, and what he said was very realistic and insightful, and he could be considered as putting himself in his shoes.

His family has many relatives and friends, and most of them are closely related and compatible with each other. It is a bit awkward to be included in the Dugu family. If he only sticks to his wife, then many criticisms based on favors and other intentions will continue to focus on his wife.

In fact, the reason why Li Tai didn't take concubines in recent years was not just because of his professionalism. The main reason was that he couldn't stop chasing after others, and he didn't have the leisure to be enthusiastic about the affairs between men and women. After Shannan stabilized, his parents and even his wife mentioned similar things.

However, this kind of thing is either due to political needs or physiological needs. For Li Tai, there is no need to sacrifice one's life to pursue a specific situation. It was only after Lu Shuhu's reminder that he realized that as his status changed, this had become a problem that needed to be faced squarely.

"I am so old that I think I am shrewd in dealing with matters and pretend to be wise, but I don't realize that there are many hidden problems in family matters that I need to ask my uncle for advice. I am really ashamed. The old man is focused on things and has no time to take care of the family. Before his parents meet again , only the young couple comfort each other in the house. Now that my wife has suddenly passed away, even if she has other things, she needs to wait for her feelings to settle down before making any plans. "

After pondering for a while, Li Tai answered again.

After hearing this, Lu Shuhu stopped entangled with this topic. Soon after, he couldn't help but sigh: "Boshan is truly benevolent and righteous in dealing with people. No wonder he can establish a business in Kansai. The world is in chaos, morality has fallen, and everyone is evil and treacherous. , Do anything, even if he is willing to use baht to gain revenge, Boshan can only uphold justice. This is the most valuable thing for achieving great things, and it is better than many clever plans. "

Although the praise was very useful, Li Tai still wanted to hear Lu Shuhu's more specific ideas, so he spoke again: "Adhering to benevolence and righteousness is naturally the foundation of governance. However, the world is uneasy precisely because of stubborn traitors who betray justice. If you want to control it, you still need to use some skills. Uncle, you have been under the rule of the Eastern Thieves for a long time, and you must have seen the true and false nature of the thieves. You should teach me something?"

After talking about family affairs and returning to the original topic, Lu Shuhu couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't want to speak frankly just now, but I was really timid to show off my wits. Boshan, the wonderful deeds you have done since you were in office always make me happy." I am amazed, let alone trying hard to make it come true, even if it is a delusional idea, it is not intelligent, but now that you ask me again and again, I will just show off."

Although Lu Shuhu is good at talking about military matters and has many strategies, it depends on who is in front of him. The nephew in front of him was a famous general who had been victorious in every battle and had defeated many famous ministers and generals throughout the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties. Many of his battles were so wild that even Lu Shuhu could not imagine. He was talking on paper in front of such a person. The pressure on him is really quite big.

After thinking for a while, Lu Shuhu continued: "Although Qi is rich and powerful today, it has failed to use its skills. Jinyang's Jingjialang battle outside the Great Wall, and Hebei's valleys and silks scattered across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers are not troubles. They ignore the close enemies. The Lord of Qi, because he had already established his own business, was particularly afraid that he would not be able to intimidate others with his lustful force, so he would act in excitement and lose his long-term plan. He might appear to be fierce, but he is actually not wise.

Although the two capitals of his country stand side by side, in reality the movement is like a blockage and the divisions are like ditches. The reason why the Western Dynasty failed to attack repeatedly was that, firstly, it had weak armor and insufficient food and grass, and secondly, it was due to improper methods and unclear vision. To attack the big with the small, you must rely on extraordinary achievements. Heluo and Tianzhong are not the place to compete for supremacy. Pingyang, Hedong is the door to defeat thieves! "

"My uncle's argument is really brilliant. He is not obsessed with the appearance of the East thieves' wealth and power. It is really thought-provoking to see the depth of their shortcomings!"

When Li Tai heard Lu Shuhu's comments on the situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, especially his evaluation of Gao Yang's temperament and acting style. As the founding emperor of Northern Qi, Gao Yang was very active in the early days of his reign, but after all the troubles, he really couldn't leave any high-quality assets. In the end, what Northern Qi could rely on was the old foundation left by his father and brother.

As for the criticism that the Western Wei's repeated attacks in the second half were fruitless, they are also correct. It is an indisputable fact that the Western Wei Dynasty was weaker than the Northern Qi Dynasty. Even after Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, the war mobilization power of the Northern Zhou regime had exceeded that of the deeply contradictory Northern Qi regime, but the overall national strength and social wealth were still far from surpassing it.

The Northern Qi regime, including its social structure, has always been divided into two sections: Jinyang and Hebei. Launching an attack from Heluo would put pressure on these two sections together, allowing them to put aside their past grievances and work together to fight against the outside world.

Heluo is equivalent to a plate that can receive the manpower and material resources pouring from Jinyang and Hebei in the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties can only transport them all the way through the Weihan Ancient Road. Even if there are other routes to cooperate, it is difficult to cooperate seamlessly. For example, before Li Tai went north from Sanya Road, the Chinese and foreign government troops just abandoned their troops and ran away.

Hearing Li Tai's approval and praise, Lu Shuhu suddenly became more confident, and then said: "The Jade Bi City in Fennan in the Western Dynasty is truly a famous defense in the world. However, since ancient times, when it comes to military discussions, defense is not as good as attack. If we want to defend the south of Fen, we must capture the north of Fen. If we can build a strong city in the north of Fen, we can form a formation around Fen, and we can advance and retreat freely. We can attack and defend Jinyang without worrying about it."

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help laughing again. It seemed that his old uncle was really obsessed with Fenbei. In history, Gao Yan proposed to build a city in Pingyang, Fenbei. Now there is no chance to propose to Gao Yan. As a result, he came to Guanxi and suggested that he build a city in Fenbei.

Li Tai also has ideas and plans to build a city in Fenbei, but the time is not good yet.

Now that he has just taken over the government, the situation in the country is still not stable, and he has just completed peace talks with the Northern Qi Dynasty. The two sides have once again returned to a low-intensity confrontation. If he rashly crosses the Fen River to build a city and fortify it, it will inevitably arouse conflicts between the two. Scrambling to prepare for war on the Fenshui front line, the situation may get out of control and affect other personnel development.

Although this strategy was not suitable for the time being, Li Tai also benefited from the conversation with Lu Shuhu. He then sent an invitation to Lu Shuhu, hoping that he could serve as a senior staff member in the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office. Lu Shuhu was naturally interested in this. readily agreed. As a well-spoken military counselor, who wouldn't want to follow a famous general like Li Tai who has strong execution ability and watch him put his strategies into practice!

The uncle and nephew had a great conversation, but Li Tai did not expect that shortly after this conversation, he would become a matchmaker and be interviewed.
