Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Since there were a large number of reform decrees that needed to be promulgated in a short period of time, Yuwentai was also very busy during this period, spending all his time making decisions and promoting the implementation of various decrees.

Although Yu Wentai can be said to be energetic, such intense desk work in recent days has also made him feel exhausted and his energy is gradually declining.

On this day, he worked with the government officials until late at night to sort out the name changes and territorial divisions of the states and counties in the country, so as to distinguish them from the previous Western Wei politics, so that the changes in order could be felt from the central to the local governments. , and thereby strengthen the authority of the Chinese and Foreign Governments.

This is a very detailed and trivial task, because from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Western Wei Dynasty, and between the Western Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty, there were already a large number of overseas settlers and overlapping prefectures and counties. Sometimes one prefecture name actually had several locations. There are also two-headed prefectures and counties where several states are concentrated in one place. This phenomenon is especially dramatic in Shuzhong, Handong and other places in the former Nanliang territory.

In addition, the geography and personnel of various prefectures and counties, as well as the situation of some Jisi prefectures and prefectures, need to be taken into account, making this work more cumbersome. If you are not careful, omissions may occur, and previous results must be overturned.

Yu Wentai was sitting in the banquet, carefully looking at the maps of various prefectures and counties compiled by the government officials. Because he was too tired, he fell asleep leaning on the desk in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenhu, who was also busy at his desk in the hall, quickly took a look and stood up, beckoning the nearby waiter to come in and carefully set up screens on both sides of his uncle's table to block the night wind, while he himself set up a table next to the table. The case was settled, and when a government official came forward to ask for instructions, he first gave instructions according to his own ideas, and then wrote down the plan for what he was dealing with, and gently placed it on Yuwentai's case until he woke up and inspected it. Hope to consider.

Yuwentai slept until dawn. When the morning bell rang in the imperial city, the imperial city gate opened, and the officials were about to enter the office, Yuwentai woke up leisurely.

He first moved his somewhat numb shoulders and back, and then realized that a soft brocade quilt had been tucked under him. When he looked around the hall again, he saw the thin morning light hitting the window paper and seeping into the hall. The staff in the hall's office had retreated at some point, and the long wicks of the candles on the desks had also been extinguished. Several waiters were leaning on the side of the hall, looking drowsy, and did not notice Grand Master Yuwen at all. movement.

"Uncle is awake?"

At this time, a slight voice sounded from behind the screen next to him. Yuwentai looked around again and found that Yuwenhu was getting up from his desk with some difficulty in the table.

"You haven't rested yet?"

Yuwentai had just woken up and was still a little confused about the situation. Seeing that Yuwenhu was still here, he frowned and said: "I don't know why I fell asleep. Why don't you wake me up? The sooner the matter of prefectures and counties is approved, the better. Late spring will If there is any further delay, taxation this autumn will be greatly affected.”

The financial situation of the Chinese and Foreign Governments has always been very tight. Once taxes are affected, many important things will inevitably encounter obstacles, so Yuwen Taicai is racing against time to get things done as soon as possible.

"Uncle was too tired. I really couldn't bear to be disturbed again last night, so I arranged for the government officials to handle some matters on my own initiative, and recorded them in a book for uncle's review. If it's not thorough enough, now It is not too late to remedy the situation.”

After sitting all night, Yuwen's leggings and feet were also a little numb. He stood up with some difficulty and then walked unsteadily to Yuwentai's table, pointing to the record book on the case.

After Yu Wentai heard this, he quickly grabbed the business book. After flipping through it for a while, he showed a satisfied look on his face and murmured: "Not bad, not bad, these things are all arranged to my liking. Sabao has his heart. You Don’t stand any longer and take a seat. No, you should go back and rest first. I’ve arranged all these things without missing anything. Thank you for your hard work.”

Seeing that Yu Wenhu was still standing respectfully in front of him with his hands down, Yu Wentai quickly waved his hand and said.

After hearing this, Yu Wenhu relaxed his somewhat nervous mood. Instead of resigning directly, he returned to the table and sat down. At the same time, he said with a smile: "Concentrate on your own housework, so what's the point of being tired?" ! As long as I can contribute to my uncle’s work, I will feel happy.”

"The children in the family are in charge, and I can sleep peacefully."

When Yuwentai heard this, he also showed a happy smile on his face. He looked at Yuwenhu who looked tired and sighed: "Sabao, you have always been very capable, but sometimes you are inevitably misled by your temperament. Different people have different strengths and weaknesses, and people have different talents. A truly wise person is not one who is competent at all things, but one who knows how to choose to shine in the things he is good at. Being both impatient and aggressive, it is not difficult to reach places that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.”

After Yu Wenhu heard his uncle's evaluation of him, he shook his head and sighed and said, "I am not a young child now, so how could I not understand the principles that my uncle preached? But the temperament that I was born with has made me unknowingly Now that I am in my forties, it is already difficult to change. As my uncle said, people have their own talents. It is enough for me to have some talents that can be used by my family and the country. I don’t expect that I can still do it. Cultivate your character and achieve perfection.”

"It's already very good to be able to understand this section. It's a kind of open-mindedness and calmness! If I had taught you this in the past, you would have been so angry that you would have never given in!"

Yuwentai couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and was very pleased with his nephew's growth.

Seeing that Yu Wenhu was not in a hurry to leave, he took the business book and read it carefully. When he saw the entries of Jingzhou's subordinates, he couldn't help but sigh: "There are as many as sixty-eight states in Jingzhou under one government." ?”

After hearing this, Yu Wenhu nodded quickly and said: "I also reviewed this matter carefully last night. I have checked the personnel and books of the Chen family in Jingzhou many times and confirmed them to be correct. Talking about the achievements of establishing governance in the border areas and opening up territories. , Li Boshan is indeed the only one in the country and incomparable!

The people in the middle school are still debating whether Jiangling should be taken, but the Jingzhou General Administration has already sent troops to Jiangzhou, even if it is not far from Jiankang! Although the east bandits took over the remnants of Hou Jing's troops and continued to make trouble in Huainan, the actual land in Jiangbei they invaded was still less than the Jingzhou Prefecture. Li Boshan is a man of great talent, not inferior to any other country! "

Hearing Yuwenhu's unabashed praise of Li Tai, Yuwentai couldn't help but feel surprised, and then sighed: "It's been a long time since I heard such a fair evaluation of Boshan from you. It's true that he was appointed to the southeast." It was a great plan back then. If it hadn't been like this, even if Southeast Asia could make progress due to the civil strife in Nanliang, the harvest might not be so impressive."

“In the past years, we used to belittle him, either because we were unhappy that he came from behind, or we hoped that the gap between them could be covered up a little bit. But now the gap is so obvious and the public knows it. If we just continue to belittle him, it will only expose our own shallowness and narrowness. "

Yu Wenhu smiled bitterly at first, and then said: "It's not just me. Even the eldest grandson Changshi had to pay homage to Mount Li Bo and be extremely respectful after going to Jingzhou, so that he could gain a foothold in Jingfu. I can say that. It's not that I'm making my uncle jealous again. How could my uncle not have such a little wisdom in observing people and predicting things?

No matter how talented Li Boshan was, he was only fighting for the glory of his subordinates, so his uncle naturally had no worries about being unable to control him. I and other people have a lot of words to say, but I don't have enough ability to replace them on the matter. No matter how much I say, it will only increase my uncle's troubles. Should I let him personally handle Li Boshan's ministry? "

Yuwentai fell silent after hearing this. He did have similar thoughts in his heart. It's not that he didn't consider Li Tai's growing momentum. But as Yu Wenhu said, regardless of whether Li Tai can be trusted or not, his current role in Southeast is irreplaceable. Even if you want to dismiss him immediately, who can you send to replace him?

Nowadays, among the great generals in the country, Li Tai is already the well-deserved number one in terms of reputation and merit. Regardless of personal ability, the Zhuguo people may barely be able to surpass one in terms of qualifications, but if Zhuguo is allowed to go out and sit in the southeast, the result will only be more dangerous!

After being silent for a while, Yuwen Taicai said again: "You also know that Boshan has extensive operations in the southeast. If I don't use it to make plans for Jiangling in the future, not only will the people of the country be upset, I'm afraid Xiao Yi will also laugh at my failure to govern."

"Jiangling not only needs to enter the map, but also needs to enter the map quickly. Li Boshan not only needs to use it, but also needs to use it greatly!"

When Yu Wenhu heard what his uncle said, he hurriedly said: "Even the Chinese and Foreign Governments can immediately order Jingzhou to march to Jiangling. If Li Boshan goes, his army will be exhausted, and Mianbei will be empty. At that time, generals will be sent to suppress it and protect it." Follow-up is also the right thing to do. If it fails, Jiangling will also be on the alert. At that time, people from the lower reaches will be attracted to return to Jiangling to restore the Han Dynasty to the north of the Yangtze River to supplement the river defense. Jingzhou's military force will be sent to the south, and there will be no time for other things.

This is how I stole the plan for my uncle to suppress the powerful vassal. If they advance to Jiangling, the southeastern division will be logical. If they refuse to patrol forward, their disobedience will be clearly revealed! "

After Yuwentai heard this, he frowned again and began to think deeply. After a while, he looked up at Yuwenhu and said solemnly: "Jiangling is now the capital of the Liang Kingdom. If you want to make progress, you will have to attack and destroy the country. You must be cautious when moving forward or retreating, but there is some truth in what you said. I will weigh this matter again, so don’t let it out for now!”

Yu Wenhu saw that although his uncle did not agree immediately, he still took his plan to heart, so he quickly nodded in agreement, then retired and went home to rest, yawning profusely.

In the hall, Yu Wentai's thoughts were still immersed in what Yu Wenhu said before. After a while, he spoke again: "Does the office have any memorials from Taiyuan Duke Li Boshan? If so, get them quickly!"
