Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In Taifu, Li Tai was received by Su Chuo not long after waiting.

Su Chuo was as vigorous and resolute as ever in his work. After listening to Li Tai's statement of his purpose, he took the personnel plan and browsed it.

After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Li Tai with a frown and asked: "Dushui and Hequ, is it necessary to use so many people?"

It is normal for Su Chuo to have this question. The personnel structure of the entire Western Wei Dynasty was very rough and rudimentary from the beginning, and the same was true for Bafu. Mo Cao, who Li Taiqian worked for, only had more than 20 people, which was already the size of an important department in the Taiwan government.

The personnel concept proposed by Li Tai doubled the number of Dushuitai officials alone, not including the canal envoys and other personnel who would be set up later to cope with the incident. If it were to be fully constructed, it would probably require more than a hundred staff members.

This is obviously different from the previous style of Xingtai, so Su Chuo asked this question.

Li Tai was well prepared for this. After hearing the words, he quickly explained: "It is necessary. Water conservancy is the foundation of mulberry farming. In the former, all Cao Cao, prefectures and counties are in charge of it, but many people are idle and unable to take full responsibility. Since the Great Unification, , there is almost no water conservancy construction in the huge Kansai area.

The canal is in ruins and the weirs are in disrepair. The so-called "maximizing the benefit of the land" is just a formal policy. Powerful people dominate the water, and the people lose their land. Public and private coordination requires the wisdom of the crowd. There are also overuse constructions, which need to be scrutinized carefully and replenished for the country. To eliminate the long-standing shortcomings and open up new things, it does require the cooperation of those in charge. "

As the saying goes, if you don't have diamonds, you won't be able to do porcelain work, but there are also clever women who can't make a meal without rice. He has already boasted to Daxingtai that he wants to move forward with everything, but he cannot do it on his own. Now there is still room for improvement, so of course he must try his best.

Of course, Su Chuo also knew that Daxingtai attached great importance to this matter. After listening to Li Tai's explanation, he nodded, but then said: "There are not enough idle personnel in the Tai government now, and Li Lang, you are doing a lot of new political techniques. I’m afraid it’s not enough to mobilize all the troops, so you need to recruit soldiers from the field.”

Li Tai had already planned and prepared for this. After hearing this, he said: "I am not qualified enough to attract the masses. I also hope that Su Shangshu can assist me in recruiting people."

"You think I don't have too many cases? Don't worry about doing it, but if you can keep your integrity, you won't be afraid of what others say."

After Su Chuo heard this, he smiled and said that he had no intention of intervening in Li Tai's personnel issues to show his authority.

"With Shangshu's words, I feel more at ease. Although people may speak softly, they will do their best."

Having your own plans is one thing, but asking your boss for instructions is also the minimum respect. Su Chuo himself is not a person who is extremely power-hungry, and the current hegemonic politics does not tolerate too much intrigue, allowing people to focus on things.

Looking at Su Chuo's slightly sunken eye sockets, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh to himself. It was a pity that his son Su Wei could not learn from his father's style of life, so that although he was famous for half his life, he ended up in a miserable life.

After the personnel issue was finalized, Li Taicai spoke again: "When I visited today, in addition to asking the minister to correct the omissions and oversights, I also want to ask, if a new matter is established, can the Taiwanese government provide capital so that those in charge can create the matter as soon as possible? "

"Wait a minute, let me take a look!"

When Su Chuo heard this, he frowned subconsciously. It was not that he was disgusted with Li Tai's question, but that he had an instinctive irritability towards such questions.

This year he received a new tax from the Taiwan government, but the finances of the Taiwan government have been unhealthy for a long time. Su Chuo was so powerless in this position that he felt a headache when he heard people begging for money, food and supplies.

He stood up and walked to the desk on the other side. He quickly browsed through the recent payment matters, then shook his head helplessly at Li Tai and sighed: "There is no relevant judgment order in Daxingtai. The Taifu There is indeed no money to give. I am really in a dilemma here. Li Lang, you should go to Daxingtai. If Daxingtai allows you to do something special, I can make arrangements for cuts. "

Li Tai was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He also understood that Su Chuo was not deliberately making things difficult for him. There must be no room for adjustment, so he directed him to go to the boss to complain.

So he stopped pestering Su Chuo, got up and left, and went to the main hall of Taifu. Not to mention the large investment required in the early stage of Luo Shui Canal, just the salary and food for so many employees is also a big problem.

Regardless of whether he has a solution on his own, this need must be mentioned to the leader. If the leader authorizes him to solve the problem himself, that means he can handle the matter effectively and the leader trusts him. The leader didn't mention the matter but he took the initiative to solve it. That was a lack of discipline and clique for personal gain.

When he came to Zhitang to ask for an audience, he was told that Daxingtai had left early. Although he was unsuccessful, he still got pen and paper from his colleagues in the reporter's office, wrote down his demands on the case, and asked him to put it in a conspicuous place on his desk, hoping that Daxingtai would see it as soon as possible.

Not being able to see Yu Wentai, seeing that it was still early in the day, he wandered around the Taifu again, chatting with a few familiar Taifu officials, and by the way mentioned that he was recruiting subordinates, hoping that if these colleagues had any Suitable candidates can be recommended to him.

Of course, it is not that he is in need of others and is hungry for talents. He is simply expressing his attitude that he does not live alone and is willing to live in harmony with everyone, and exchange some political resources with each other.

Not long after he entered the industry, he was quickly promoted to Zhonglang and was given the opportunity to preside over special affairs. It is impossible not to be jealous, and it is also necessary to strengthen the human ties and interest entanglements with colleagues in the Taiwan government. Even if there are hidden arrows shot from behind, there will be someone to cover the burden.

While Li Tai was socializing with his colleagues in Tai Mansion, Yu Wentai also held a family banquet in the backyard of Ba Mansion to entertain fellow villager Zhao Gui.

Yuwentai's daily life is not luxurious, and the furnishings in the hall are simple. Apart from him, there are only Zhao Gui and Director Yuwen who are accompanying him on the side table.

Zhao Gui had just been recalled from Chang'an. He was sitting in the banquet with disheveled beard and hair, bloodshot eyes, and a haggard appearance. After being greeted and seated at the table, he just drank.

Yuwentai naturally understood where Zhao Gui's sadness came from, but for a moment he didn't know how to open the topic. He just signaled the waiter to pour wine for Zhao Gui diligently.

After drinking deeply, Zhao Gui's eyes welled up with tears. He suddenly left the table and kowtowed in front of Yu Wentai's table. He took off his seal and talisman and placed it in front of him. He choked and said: "I am too stupid to do anything. The blood in my household is not good enough." He is a careful watcher, and he is not worthy of being pushed into such a big deal by his superiors... The father and his son are both the laughing stock of the world when this misfortune occurs to their family. The perpetrators laugh wildly in the dark, and every time they look at the sad state of their son, their hearts are broken!"

Yuwentai did not directly respond to Zhao Gui's cry, but just sat down at the table and pointed at Director Yuwen and said: "Go to Chang'an and interrogate each one since the governor of Yongzhou. If there is anyone who is covering up the crime, he will be arrested if found out! If not, order the state to do so. The county strictly investigates the whereabouts of bandits and finds out where the crimes were committed as soon as possible!”

After hearing this, Director Yu Wen stood up and responded, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

The incident has happened for many days, and the first-hand clues and evidence have long since disappeared. Even if the world is peaceful, it will not be easy to trace it clearly. What's more, there are already a lot of wandering bandits around Gyeonggi. Even if these people are not the perpetrators, their wandering around without a fixed address can greatly confuse the sight.

Moreover, the clues provided by Zhao Gui's slaves were also secretive and even contradictory in some places. It was almost impossible to investigate the matter clearly.

So regardless of Yu Wentai's instructions or Zhao Gui's current appearance, all he wanted was an attitude. A moment earlier or a moment later doesn't mean much.

Yu Wentai got up and went down to the hall, walked to Zhao Gui, squatted down, picked up his seals and talismans and hung them back one by one. He patted Zhao Gui's rickety and trembling shoulders and sighed: "Yuan Gui and I are not just in power. How can you abandon me in the middle of the road? "

When Zhao Gui heard this, he cried loudly and kowtowed repeatedly: "I, I am ashamed. When I was trapped in Ge Rong's army, it would have been impossible for me to survive without the protection and care of King Luosheng... At that time, I secretly made a vow that I must Determined to follow, I will live up to my great kindness! But now that the Lord has established a career in Kansai, he has commanded all the heroes and internal and external officials, and his duties are no longer necessary for me. I..."

"What a stupid thing to say! Am I just a ruthless and unrighteous man? Even so, we still need true loyal confidants to share the cause! The deep friendship between each other is not as good as the little thing in Tori's arms when he was young ? I don’t blame you for saying this easily because you love your son so much, but if you are still stubborn, it will make people sad!”

Yuwentai gave Director Yuwen a wink. Upon seeing this, Director Yuwen went into the back hall and led out several cousins.

Yu Wentai stood up and ordered his children to come forward to pay tribute to Zhao Gui. Upon seeing this, Zhao Gui quickly stood up and sidestepped.

"Letting these idiots come out to worship is not to show off the number of people in the household to you, Yuan Gui. I just want to tell you that these little things are not unusual."

Yuwentai took Zhao Gui and sent him back to the banquet. He pointed to a few timid little girls and said, "I had secretly planned it before. At this moment of frustration and sadness, I told Yuan Gui clearly that one of the girls was... If you don't mind my simple tutoring, please choose her from this hall and take her away to serve her when she becomes a good girl."

Hearing what Daxingtai said, Zhao Gui became excited again, and quickly got up from the table and bowed deeply in the tunnel: "How lucky I am to have you, how lucky I am to have Daxingtai treat me so affectionately!" From now on, I will cultivate my moral character and make meritorious deeds bravely, and I will be grateful for your kindness!”

Yu Wentai raised his hand to screen out his children, and sat back in the banquet. Then he said to Zhao Gui: "This is what I, a hero of Beizhen, should say. Although my daughter is not precious, I hope she can deserve the honor." , the encounters are generous, the family tradition is admirable, and the affection is harmonious! "

After Zhao Gui heard this, he naturally nodded in agreement. Daxingtai's promise to get married made him happy, but he couldn't help but secretly regret it. His eldest son was of the right age, but he was disabled, so it was naturally impossible for him to marry a woman from the Daxingtai family.

It will take a few years for the young son to grow up, which means that the marriage with Daxingtai will have to be postponed for a few years. Thinking of this, in addition to hating those gangsters, Zhao Gui also complained about his eldest son Zhao Yongguo. If this disgusting man hadn't been careless in his career, he would have married Daxingtai at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Gui no longer looked depressed and sad, Yu Wentai smiled again and said: "Today I invite Yuan Gui. In addition to discussing family matters, there is also a business matter that I hope you can tolerate. Your garden on the east bank of Luoshui River , Taiwan government’s new projects need to be requisitioned, can you make a generous donation?”

Zhao Gui was still immersed in joy at this moment. After hearing the words, he nodded without thinking and said: "The Taiwan government's big plan comes first, how dare I abandon the public service for personal reasons? Go to the countryside immediately to clean up, and ask the Taiwan government envoy to check and accept!"
