Hearing Li Tai say this, Gao Zhongmi told the matter in a hurry.

It turned out that during the previous period, Gao Zhongmi was not idle in Huazhou, and recruited some Guanxi Shiliu to serve as the subordinate positions of Situ Gongfu.

This so-called recruitment is not a recruitment and promotion of talents, but a reward. To put it bluntly, Gao Zhongmi sold a number of official positions under the government at a clear price.

"A month ago, the lord asked me to send thousands of cloth horses into the countryside, and this is how I got it."

Gao Bailing explained on the side.

Li Tai also remembered this after hearing this, at that time he was still busy with operations, and the thousand pieces of cloth sent by Gao Bailing were used to purchase materials. Although I was a little curious, I didn't ask deeply.

After all, he is not Gao Zhongmi's nephew, if he inquires deeply about where the money comes from, it will inevitably mean that he will ask Gao Zhongmi how to hide his private money. It turned out that this batch of goods was obtained by Gao Zhongmi's official seller.

"I see that Ah Pan is busy in the township for the sake of his family, and it is not good for him to sit back and enjoy his achievements as an elder, so he should find a way to share his worries and labor for his son."

Gao Zhongmi smiled reservedly in the middle of the table, with a look that could praise me here, but soon his face collapsed again: "But now, this matter has become a small hidden trouble." ”

"Will anyone be held accountable for this? Now that the manor's livelihood is also improving, if this friendship cannot be fixed, it can also be slowly returned to the previous capital. ”

When Li Tai learned the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was not a big deal.

The government has no authority, like he is engaged in Situ Mansion, but he has not worked a day until now. And Gao Zhongmi, the Situ Gong, only spent most of his time in the mansion, and he was about to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant when he turned his head.

There is also the reward for losing promulgated by Daxingtai before, which is also a seller with a clear price, and everyone responded very enthusiastically, and there was no fierce opposition from the world's famous ministers.

These things also made Li Tai subconsciously feel that the official position of the Western Wei Dynasty was not a very solemn thing. Even if someone asks for the guilt on this basis, it is nothing more than the monk can touch it, but I can't touch it, so it's a big deal to dismiss these subordinates before the incident and return the goods and cloth they received before to them.

But the real situation is more serious and complicated than Li Tai imagined.

"I originally had such a plan for the future, but the current Western Dynasty is not the same as the Eastern Dynasty. All the public offices have their own subordinates, and they also need to be recorded in Daxingtai. Even if you don't have to do anything with the government in the future, you have to gather to go to Daxingtai to be selected and used. ”

Gao Zhongmi sighed again, looked at Li Tai with some shame and said.

When Li Tai heard this, he also felt more and more that there was a lack of characters in the Western Wei regime, forcing Yu Wentai not only to loot the property of the ministers, but also to recruit the subordinates of the government itself, and he refused to indulge in the loss of people and things.

"What else is sinister, Uncle will talk about it together."

Li Tai sighed a little, and then directly said that if he just sent these subordinates to the Daxing platform, Gao Zhongmi would not have to be so worried.

"The problem with these new recruits is not their background, but their talents."

Gao Zhongmi still had a sad face: "Although Daxingtai treats the lords and martial artists generously, he is strict with the supervision of the people and officials. I heard Helan Changshi say that as early as the first year of the Great Unification, Daxingtai was a fierce ruler, and there was Wang Chaoshi, the assassin of Qinzhou, who was the brother-in-law of Daxingtai's mother clan and the son of Wang Taibao. After that, the administration was also strictly supervised, and those who were guilty must be punished......"

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Because he found that he was not clean, when he was discussing the original land before, he also bribed Zheng Man with two little lambs, and he gained more than ten hectares of mountainous land.

But seeing that Gao Zhongmi's master and servant were all sad at the moment, he kept the matter in mind for the time being, and found a time to discuss it with Zheng Man to solve it.

The poor financial situation of the Western Wei Dynasty was a problem that existed from the very beginning of the establishment of the regime. Although Yuwentai awarded a reward for losing and encouraged the nobles to donate, this was obviously not a conventional means of increasing fiscal revenue. In order to maintain the healthy operation of the government, it is essential to ensure the stability of tax payment for registered residents.

In the areas under the control of the Western Wei Dynasty, the big clans were powerful and the households were serious, and if they directly expanded the number of households, it would inevitably threaten the stability of the rule. Since it is difficult to expand the source of taxation, it is important to strengthen the administrative means to ensure that the limited number of households can produce and pay taxes normally.

The first year of the Great Unification is the year when Yuwentai killed Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and supported the current Emperor Yuanbao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty.

After all, there are so many relatives of the Yuwen family, and Wang Chaoshi served as an important uncle such as the Qinzhou Assassin in the first year of the Great Unification, which shows that he is also in the prime of life, and he is an important assistant to Yuwentai who can take charge of the Western Wei regime, but for this reason, he is ambushed, which is indeed a deterrent effect.

The Kansai plate is too shallow and the foundation is too poor, forcing Yuwentai to take a different path from Gao Huan on this issue. If the rule of officials is relaxed, it is a question whether the regime of the Western Wei Dynasty can exist and be maintained.

When Gao Zhongmi was in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he also had the deeds of forming a party and running a private business, and after being sanctioned by Gao Cheng, he was still able to give the Northern Yuzhou Assassin History, and had the capital to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty. But in the Western Wei Dynasty, it is obviously not such a way to play.

Those Kansai Shiliu who were conscripted into the government by Gao Zhongmi were obviously not outstanding people. In the case of the promulgation of the reward for loss by Daxingtai, the subordinates who still bought the Situ Mansion were obviously greedy for this thing, although it was not beautiful, but it was cheap.

But in such a serious bureaucratic environment as the Western Wei Dynasty, these subordinates with mediocre talents naturally became hidden mines, and maybe one day they would be questioned for dereliction of duty, and perhaps Gao Zhongmi would be implicated.

At present, Gao Zhongmi still has a certain propaganda role in the Western Wei Dynasty, but when time passes and this value disappears, the real situation will be worrying. If you can use you, it's easy to say anything, but if you don't need you, then it's a sin for you to open your right eye first when you get up in the morning, is it a dream to go back to the Eastern Dynasty?

What's more, Gao Zhongmi's current power and position do not match, if he is framed by jealousy, then the problem will be really big!

After listening to Gao Zhongmi's narration, Li Tai suddenly became worried. Blame Gao Zhongmi for being rash and Meng Lang, he still spent the money for selling officials.

Seeing that Li Tai was silent, Gao Zhongmi said in a deep voice: "I have been worried about this recently, and I also asked Helan Changshi and several people here, but there is no way to deal with it well. But there is one thing that can be reversed, it is from me, and it should stop with me. I heard before that Ah Pan, you and your relatives reunited in the township, and they are also quite powerful in the court, Ah Pan, you go and ask them to transfer an official body, and you don't have to entangle yourself in this mansion anymore......"

When Li Tai heard this, he said, "Uncle, I ......"

"I know your righteousness, but listen to me! I am alone now, and I can bury this rotten bone anywhere, but you are not, Apan! I have already failed you before, and it would be shameless to bind you with love and righteousness to bear this sorrow!

I gave you the old weapon before, just hoping that you can rely on this to encourage yourself and forge ahead in the world. Before the incident, our uncle and nephew could still keep in touch, and on the day of the incident, you can also turn sideways from the incident! ”

Gao Zhongmi looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice.

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately fell silent again.

To be honest, although he has been in this world for a long time, he still does not have a strong sense of belonging to this world.

Although he is dependent on Gao Zhongmi, he can't talk much about the relationship and feelings between each other, and even he has a faint contempt for Gao Zhongmi in his heart, and often has disrespectful gimmicks.

But after hearing Gao Zhongmi's words that he almost explained the aftermath, he was greatly touched, Gao Zhongmi may not be a good person, but he is not a good person for himself.

The fetters of people's feelings are nothing more than people's affairs. reunited with Lu Rou, knowing that his family still had many relatives in Kansai, and he had to entrust him with family affairs before He Batsheng, and now Li Tai really doesn't need to rely on Gao Zhongmi anymore to gain a foothold in Kansai.

However, people will have a scale in their hearts, not only weighing the benefits and disadvantages, but also weighing themselves. Although Li Tai doesn't think that he is such a great character, he also does not take himself too lightly.

After being silent for a while, he got up from the seat, bowed formally to Gao Zhongmi, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Pan bows at his feet, if Uncle looks at me in the shape of a human, please don't say anything about it!" Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Although I am not a great gentleman in the world, I feel worthy of sharing the blessings and misfortunes with my uncle! If Uncle is inferior to me because of his youth, I also have my own eloquent refuge of this humble opinion! ”

After Gao Zhongmi finished speaking, he was already a little sad in his heart, and when he heard Li Tai's answer again, the corners of his lips suddenly trembled.

He stood up with the case in his hands, walked slowly to Li Tai, when his eyes drooped, tears couldn't help rolling down, he pressed his hands on Li Tai's shoulders, and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Pan, Ah Pan, I always blame myself for hurting your father and son in my foreword, but I am actually glad in my heart......

If it weren't for you here, I would never have had the courage to make a living! I don't dare to be greedy, but from now on, I will steal it as my own! ”

Although Li Tai was also very moved at this time and didn't want to spoil this emotional atmosphere, after hearing this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, I just said that I want to share good and bad with you, why do you treat me as a son?

Let's want to be closer, isn't it good to kowtow? I also want to hear He Liuhun call me uncle!

"This matter is sad, but in fact, it is not impossible to solve it. The members recruited before may be obscene and unusable. But what is the future in the coming year, and whether they are competent or not, is also related to their own blessings and misfortunes. While its ugliness has not yet been carried forward, there is still room for proper education. ”

I was thinking about those before, but in fact, I was scared of myself. Since you are worried that these people may be affected by their dereliction of duty, it is enough to surprise educate them so that they have some basic administrative skills.

It is expected that even if Yu Wentai summons these government officials into Daxing Taichung, he will definitely not push the throne and give in, but only engage in some basic clerical work, but there is no need to train these people into any talents who govern the country through economic inspection.
