Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In the main hall of the state capital, the officials from the two houses had already gathered here. When they saw Dugu Xin and Li Tai coming to the hall, they all stood up to greet them.

Dugu Xin went straight to the first place and sat down. He did not look at the court affairs book that his subordinates had placed on the desk. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Tai, who was sitting on the side seat, and said to everyone in the hall: "From today on, I will Then he went to Weizhou to reorganize the army and wait for the time to advance. The personnel of the two remaining governments will be decided by Li Changshi. Whenever there is a need to deal with official affairs, there is no need to send envoys to report again.

After everyone in the hall heard this, they suddenly lost their voices in an uproar. They did not expect that Dugu Xin would trust and use this new Chang Shi so much. They were shocked and doubtful for a while, and they were more or less unacceptable.

"I beg you to think twice! I don't know how talented Li Changshi is, but I know very well that the official affairs of the two governments are complicated. Apart from the envoy, there is probably no one here who can handle matters with ease and calmly. If you stay behind, It is difficult for the staff to do their best, and it will not only affect one body, but also the people of Longbian Prefecture."

What was more unexpected to Li Tai was that the first person to stand up and object was not the former chief Shi Huangfu Mu who was in conflict with him, but Zhang Hao, another man who had been very enthusiastic towards him last night. His words and demeanor were quite exciting, as if Li Tai had made a big mistake and became a sinner in Longyou.

As Zhang Hao stood up and spoke out, some people in the audience also stood up one after another and expressed the hope that Duguxin would reconsider carefully and not so rashly hand over the responsibility of staying behind to the newcomer Li Tai.

Seeing that there was no shortage of vocal opponents, Dugu Xin frowned suddenly, but before he could speak again, former Chief Shi Huangfu Mu stood up and looked at those who spoke out and said angrily: "My lord naturally considered many things when making this decision. It's hard for me to think carefully. What's more, the Lord is not leaving the town just this time, but let the people perform their duties and perform their duties. Who cares about who is left behind?"

Li Tai felt a little unhappy when he heard this. Needless to say about those who raised questions, the reason why Huangfu Mu didn't question it was that it didn't matter who was left behind, and everyone had to do the work. Emotionally, these guys didn't take him seriously. In short, they just didn't trust him.

Dugu Xin turned his attention to Li Tai again. Li Tai had already suppressed his anger. He immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said: "I was worried about taking on such a humble position, but seeing that there are so many people in the hall today, I'm so lucky to be able to work with you." If colleagues are like this and still refuse in fear, wouldn't they be arrogant?

Even if it is difficult for a poor person to take everything into account, the masses will pick up the pieces and correct them, and the thorns will become good materials! Envoy, please rest assured and go westward. I will work with the masses to stay behind. Anyone who disturbs the rules and regulations here will be killed without mercy! "

When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel awe-struck in their hearts. Whether they spoke out or remained silent, they may not necessarily be distrustful of Li Tai's abilities and look down on him.

His previous violent deeds in Lueyang County, although it is unknown how to solve the problem to make the fierce general Yang Ling obey him, but the people are somewhat afraid in their hearts. At this moment, hearing his murderous words revealed again, I couldn't help but be a little more cautious.

The people's enthusiastic opposition actually became the reason for Li Taiyong to take responsibility, and the matter was settled. Then, except for some subordinates who stayed in court to deal with official duties, Li Tai and everyone else sent Dugu Xin to the Fangcheng camp on the north bank of the Weishui River, and then returned.

Returning to Zhoucheng again, Li Taizi felt a little relieved. He was a new guest when he arrived yesterday, but today he seems to have become the temporary boss. When I was in a good mood, I saw that the city gate was a bit low and narrow, and I wanted to demolish it and rebuild it.

However, he was still able to restrain himself. He was not like a naughty child who started to tear down the house as soon as his parents left. He calmly returned to work in the direct hall of the state capital.

At this time, most of the people in the mansion had returned to the various Caotang offices. Only seven or eight people were left here, each occupying a desk and working on the documents on their desks. The leader was former Chief Shi Huangfumu.

Although Huangfu Mu no longer serves as the chief historian, he still serves as Dugu Xin's consultant to the army. This is also a confidant position, ranking above all Cao Cao's army. This time he did not accompany the army, so he still stayed in Zhitang.

After Li Tai returned to the court, Huangfu Mu had been observing him secretly. He felt a little unhappy when he saw that he was just writing and drawing at his desk, but did not even look at the court affairs book that Dugu Xin had not reviewed before.

He has followed Dugu Xin for many years, and has also personally assisted Dugu Xin in bringing Qinzhou back from chaos. At this time, seeing Li Tai, a left-behind elder, unable to handle state affairs, he felt like the daughter he had worked so hard to raise. In the end, she married a slut. Although she was helpless, she couldn't help but go crazy.

"My lord was in the hall just now and did not read the list of matters that were presented to the hall today."

After holding it in for a while, Huangfu Mu finally couldn't help but speak. However, seeing that Li Tai didn't seem to hear him at all and was still busy at the desk minding his own business, he coughed twice more.

Li Tai raised his head and looked down blankly. When Huangfu Mu's eyes fell on the desk book, he raised his hand and motioned to the waiter to pass the document on.

"This is the list of important drama events that were gathered and presented to the court by the Cao Cao yesterday. Please take a look at it, Chief Shi."

Huangfu Mu raised his hand to push back the document and patiently explained and reminded him. However, seeing that Li Tai didn't seem to pay attention to it, he stood up and walked to the table. He frowned and said: "The situation in Qinzhou today, the Lord and his subordinates I have gone through a lot of hardships, and today I have chosen Chang Shi to stay behind. Although I do not understand the deep meaning, I also understand that the lord will always care about Chang Shi. Therefore, I also implore Chang Shi not to let down the hopes of his relatives and elders, and not to live up to Foushou. The Lord is so kind to the soldiers and civilians of Qinzhou!”

When Li Tai heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Huangfu Mu seriously. Although this guy didn't have a good look on him since they met, he could say these words sincerely, which shows that he is also Duguxin's confidant. man of.

He calmly turned over the piece of paper filled with frontier fortress poems for copying. He also stood up from the table, bowed slightly to Huangfu Mu and said, "Thank you very much Huangfu for joining the army for your guidance, but the state affairs are not yet in progress." There are more important things than suppressing the rebellion in Liangzhou, and I am far less powerful than the wise and powerful people in Hanoi. Therefore, it is better to stay quiet and keep calm in order to wait for the victory of the army. "

Huangfu Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to refute it for a moment. After all, even he himself said that as long as everyone performs their duties, it doesn't make any difference who stays behind, so people who fish openly just keep to themselves. Perform your duties conscientiously.

Although, I was still very angry. After a moment of silence, Huangfu Mu then said again: "Before Chang Shi arrived, my lord had already praised the talents several times in the palace. Now that he has arrived, it would be a pity not to benefit the people of the state with his talents. Even if he doesn't do it now, he can do it in the future. ”

Anyway, you have to get busy, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable.

After talking to this point, Li Tairuo still didn't respond, then he was really showing weakness. He didn't really want to keep to himself and cultivate his moral character. After all, the war was about to begin, and he didn't want to torment the masses too hard, but he didn't expect that someone actually encouraged him to torment him. How could he bear this?

After pondering for a while, he said: "Then please ask Huangfu to join the army and order Cang Cao of the two prefectures to sort out the records accumulated over the past years, and first send over the records from the ninth year of Datong. There are some records in the previous years. Need to ask again.”

No matter how many affairs there are in a state, the most important thing is where the money comes from and where it is spent. All other matters must revolve around these two points, and Cang Cao is the department in charge of this matter.

As long as you understand Qinzhou's financial revenue and expenditure statements, you will also understand the general outline of the military, government and people's livelihood here. It is naturally clear where to start the work.

"In the nine years since the unification... there has been a lot of literary work involved. Can Li Changshi read it all?"

When Huangfu Mu heard that Li Tai had pointed out that he wanted to see Cang Cao's hometown, he knew in his heart that he was not a playboy who was indifferent to the four bodies and five grains, but he immediately said it without worry.

"Let's take a look first."

Li Tai did not speak too fully. It was not that he had no confidence in himself, but that he had little confidence in the officials of the state government who made the records. The format of the administrative documents of the Western Wei Dynasty was changed many times, and there were many differences and errors. Even the hegemony The government has gradually become more standardized after several rectifications in recent years. As for the situation in Qinzhou, he does not dare to be too optimistic.

Hearing what Li Tai said, Huangfu Mu resigned and left with hesitation. After a while, he returned, but he did not bring any Cangcao documents with him. Instead, he said with a troubled face: "The long history has captured There are so many documents, and many of them are improperly stored, that it is difficult to move them, so we have to move to the warehouse to look at them."

As long as there is no fire in the accounting room after hearing about the audit, Li Tai doesn't care much about the large number. He wants to read these old papers not to examine every gain and loss, but just to sort out Qinzhou's income in recent years. Branch overview and rising and falling trends.

But when he followed Huangfu Mu to the warehouse where old documents were stored, he looked at the large room with several rows of rooms and was still a little dumbfounded: "Is this all the Cangcao records from the ninth year of Datong? There are so many ?”

Although Huangfu Mu was a little unhappy with Li Tai, he was also worried that he would misunderstand him as making things difficult. After hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that Cao's documents were not classified and stored before. They were all stored in this scripture writing place." Among them, those that are not confidential are placed together with the scriptures and need to be carefully sorted and searched..."

“This place turned out to be a scripture writing place, no wonder the ink charm is so strong!”

When Li Tai walked into this compound, he smelled a strong smell of ink mixed with oil smoke. The so-called scripture writing field was a place dedicated to copying Buddhist scriptures, and paper and ink consumables were naturally indispensable.

He took a cursory look here and saw only row houses. Through the doors and windows, he could also see many scripture writers who were copying scriptures at their desks. There must be at least hundreds of people in the nearby rooms. Even if manual copying is inefficient, it would take many years to copy. The number of scriptures produced is also very astonishing. No wonder it takes several large rooms to store them.

Isn't this a troublesome thing coming? As long as the sutra writing field is cut off, the remaining lamps, oil, crayons, ink, paper and labor costs are also very considerable.

But when Li Tai learned the inside story about the operation of the scripture writing center, he realized that he was still shallow. This place was not a place that consumed artificial materials. It was clearly an industry with huge profits!
