Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Wu Jingyi's choice was not as expected by Li Tai.

Although it is said that soldiers and horses are king in troubled times, how many people can be called lonely and widowed in this world? What most people want is just a stable and comfortable life.

Whether to take the exam or go to work, different times will have different choices, and different people will also have different choices.

Wu Jingyi chose to step down and join politics, which is not to say that he has lost all his blood. Before, he had no choice. Now that he has new choices and new opportunities in life, of course he cannot hold back.

This is similar to the Shi brothers. Although they have gained a position in the county, when they have the opportunity to organize and lead the township league, they can't hold back and hope that all routes can develop in an all-round way.

Moreover, even if Wu Jingyi left the army and Li Quji took over his army, it does not mean that he will lose his influence on these young soldiers, but his connection with Li Tai will become closer.

When everyone else saw that Wu Jingyi had a new position, their expressions suddenly became more eager. They each reported in detail the matters they were responsible for in the Qu Alliance, and they all hoped to be promoted.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic performance, Li Tai couldn't help but think of himself in front of the Daxingtai, and secretly lamented that life in this world is not easy.

"One thing is established and one thing is accomplished. This is the basic principle of conduct. Nowadays, the Longshou Canal affairs are still unfinished, the Qu League affairs are still heavy, and the benefits to the village come first. As long as I am in this communication position, you will not worry about fame. Not until."

Wu Jingyi was first promoted to the Du Shui Yamen Bureau in order to give him a more suitable official status to visit the countryside and continue to expand the influence of the Qu League. As for the promotion of other people, there will naturally be opportunities, but there is no need to rush.

At the very least, he had to wait until the Longshou Canal was completely built before Li Tai could regard this as a model project and win official rewards for those involved. The construction period of Longshou Canal is one year, so relevant operations cannot be carried out until at least the end of the year.

He then pointed at Party Chairman Zhao of Shang Yuan and said with a smile: "I will be on the river to manage affairs, and I can no longer supervise the canal affairs personally. Party leader Zhao is highly respected, and I would like to ask you to take charge of the canal temporarily and supervise the work in the future."

Qushi is the envoy of the Taiwan government, and Li Tai, the leader of the canal, is a conventional title among the people. If there is a conflict between the two, the latter will have more popular appeal than the former.

But now Li Tai is the Hebo of the entire Luoshui River, and all the canals along the line must obey his orders, so this situation will naturally not happen.

When Party Leader Zhao heard this, he was so excited that he stood up and responded repeatedly.

Their family can be regarded as the primary form of local power. Although they have a certain degree of rural capital, they are not powerful. Previously, they were suppressed by fellow historians and could not hold their heads up. Even though they were powerful, they could not leave the countryside.

Longshou Canal benefits several counties and villages, and the civil power it mobilizes is also considerable. If he can serve as the channel leader, it will be a big leap for Party Leader Zhao, and he will naturally be overjoyed.

The structure of the Qu League still needs to be maintained intact. After Wu Jingyi and Party Leader Zhao each took over new leaders, Li Tai ordered several people to recommend local sages to succeed them.

Any organization can ensure its vitality only if its personnel move up and down in an orderly manner. Although the local power and resources in Kansai have been solidified and difficult to change, Li Tai can also add certain changes to it through this rural alliance organization.

This is also a new opportunity for the local tycoons. They are already familiar with the old maps, but it is very difficult to achieve a level jump. They also need a new map and a new copy to make the transition.

In the past, it was through worshiping Buddhas, digging caves, and divine granting of rural rights to accumulate rural reputation and gather rural capital. But now the effect of channel alliance is more obvious and more efficient, so naturally it is a good choice.

In the final analysis, it was Li Tai who opened the upward path. As long as he joined the Qumeng organization, his lower limit would determine the upper limit of these rich people.

When everyone adds firewood, the flames are high. As long as this organizational structure can always exist and operate in an orderly manner, it will not be a dream for one person to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.

Li Tai was not a big local tycoon who was born and raised in Guanzhong and had deep roots. If he wanted to effectively integrate local forces, he also needed the Qumeng organization as a medium.

For example, Yu Wentai needed to respect the Western Wei Dynasty in order to break through his own limitations and carry out a relatively universal united war. The only difference is that Yuwentai's own power is not weak and he needs to be visible in the court. As for Li Taishang, who was in the difficult starting stage, he needed to stay in the countryside.

His instigation of discord among the North Town warriors was not just out of his own needs. While he could represent the demands of Guanlong tycoons to a certain extent, these local forces in Guanxi also did not want the warriors of Beizhen to be intimately monolithic.

Historically, it was Yuwen Hu who divided and dismantled the forces in Beizhen. By suppressing the representative forces in Beizhen, he tamed the armed forces of all parties and completed the construction of the Yuwen family from hegemony to imperial power. Guan Long's powerful support was naturally indispensable in this process.

Although Li Tai deliberately made friends with Yuwenhu, he never positioned himself as a follower of Yuwenhu. In terms of absorbing and integrating the new forces of the Kansai ruling group, there is a competitive relationship between them.

Yuwenhu's origin determined his own unique conditions, but Li Tai's awakening was more than ten years earlier than him. Whether he wants to join the dragon-slaying team in the future, Li Tai hopes to be able to make his own choice, rather than being forced to make no choice.

The day after Li Tai returned home, an envoy from the Taifu came to inform him that he could cross the river to take over Zhao Gui's manor on the west bank of Luoshui. Along with him, there were several people recommended by his colleagues in the Taifu. Member.

Most of these subordinates are young people who have not yet entered officialdom, and the older ones have either become prominent or are not willing to serve as Li Tai's subordinate officials. After all, Li Tai is not very young.

Pei Han's cousin Pei Hong, a descendant of Li He, was named Li Dao, and Li Tai had met him before in Huazhou Residence. The other ones that attracted Li Tai's attention were Cui Yansheng, Cui Yanmu's younger brother, and Lu Yan, Lu Tong's younger brother.

Li Tai pays attention to Cui Yansheng because of his good son-in-law Duguxin.

This Cui Yansheng was three years older than Li Tai. He had already served as a soldier in the Taifu Army, but there was nothing settled. Li Tai was already in charge here. Cui Yanmu didn't want his younger brother to stay in Taifu and hang around, so he introduced him to Li Tai to gain seniority.

Because in Shitai Mansion, Cui Yansheng had heard a lot about Li Tai's deeds. He knew that he was the most powerful subordinate official in Xingtai in recent years and was highly valued by Daxingtai, so he also respected Li Tai.

Li Tai was also a little curious. Why did the Cui family come to his place to gain qualifications when they had such thick legs? But he wasn't familiar with it at the moment, so he didn't want to inquire further.

As for Lu Yan, it was probably because his ancestors came from the Wudi family. His temperament is different from others. Although he is not old, he looks quite elegant. He is a pretty boy with good looks, but he is lower than Li Tai. Nearly one end.

Although he was not tall, Lu Yan had a high vision. He refused to bow his head when he bowed to Li Tai, and he obviously looked down upon this chief officer.

This is normal. Li Tai, a powerful man from Guanlong and a military leader in Beizhen, can still act as a big-tailed wolf, but he is not so impressive in front of Lu Yan.

Before the Li family rose to prominence in Longxi, the Lu family in Wu County was already famous in Jiangzuo. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, the Lu family was already a famous family in Jiangzuo. When it comes to ancestral roots, that is the real old money.

Although the Li family of Longxi was once a member of the royal family of Hexi, their real fame in the north only lasted for two or three generations. The key was Li Chong, Li Bao's son. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had a sense of cultural contempt for the gentry in the north, so naturally they would not pay homage or respect them.

Speaking of potential, although Li Tai is popular, he is just a traffic idol at the moment. Lu Yan's father served as Yu Wentai's deputy, and his brother Lu Tong is now a senior staff member in the Ba Mansion. Even Lu Yan himself inherited his father's earl title, several ranks higher than Li Tai.

No matter his birth, reputation, or even age, Li Tai could not overpower his opponent. The only thing that could win was his looks and height, so it was natural that he would not be respected.

After all, who’s young man is not full of energy? Li Tai dared to spit at Zhao Gui, but Lu Yan just wrote his emotions on his face, which shows that his tutoring and self-cultivation are better than Li Tai's.

As for the other subordinates, they have little memory, and they may not be able to work together for a long time. After meeting each other, Li Tai did not get to know each other in depth and said directly: "You may be tired from the journey, but the king has been waiting for a long time. Without further ado, follow me to check the public affairs."

After saying this, he got on his horse and rode with the envoy from Xingtai to Zhao Gui Manor on the west bank of Luoshui River. When everyone else saw this, they quickly followed.

Li Tai originally thought that Zhao Gui might be dissatisfied with freeing up the manor for him to use for meritorious deeds, and that even the door panels and wooden stakes of the manor might be removed. However, when he came to the coast and took a look, he found that his layout was still small.

The layout of the manor is still intact. Although it looks a bit messy due to the hasty cleaning up, there are no obvious signs of damage. Even the toilets set up along the river remain intact.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai couldn't help but be more curious about what means Yu Wentai used to make Zhao Gui so honest that he didn't even give himself the chance to sue him.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, the manor is in good condition, and it will undoubtedly be more convenient to do things next. Li Tai took a boat across the Luoshui River, and when all his subordinates arrived, he eagerly walked into the manor to admire it.

He coveted this manor when he first saw it, dreaming of getting it one day. Now it is given as public land, but in Li Tai's heart, he feels that it is no different from private property. Treating the company as a family is the basic quality of an outstanding employee.

The people accompanying him were also surprised by the size of the manor. They did not expect that the Dushui official house, which some looked down upon, had such a strong public foundation.

However, Li Tai did not give them time to visit and appreciate it, and directly issued the first task: "Sinong allocated three thousand soldiers to supply the capital, but they were scattered among the states and counties and needed to be recruited back. You will return when you know We are here to set off immediately and bring everyone back within the middle of August. No one will be overdue and no one will be lost. If you fail to fulfill your mission, you will be punished!"

Each of these people had their own roots and relatives in Shitai Mansion. Li Tai was not worried about the Dazexiang Uprising that they were planning. After issuing his warrant to everyone, he ordered them to set off quickly.
