The group stayed in Baishui Manor for three days, and Li Tai also walked around the left dozens of miles under the leadership of Zhu Ziyong and others to observe, and wrote tens of thousands of words on the notepad alone.

"Seeing that you kid is scheming, what kind of big homework are you going to do?"

When he went on the road again, He Batsheng finally couldn't help but ask, although he rarely asked Li Tai about his calculations in the past few days, he also saw that he often wrote and painted on paper: "This is a village business that I think is still well run, but in your eyes, there are still many unbearable?" ”

"It can't be said that it is unbearable, it can only be said that the geographical advantage has not been exhausted. If the uncle's industry is only enough for farming and weaving, there is not much difference between me and me, but if you want to apply the manpower to the extreme, you need to plan and adjust. ”

After Li Tai heard this, he replied with a smile, pointing to the way forward as he spoke: "There is indeed a business in the plan, but it is not grandiose, but it is necessary for the people in the state and county to refer to whether it is feasible." When you enter Beihuazhou, you can see a number of envoys, and then discuss with your uncle. ”

Further north, it will gradually approach the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, and the terrain will be more undulating. A number of Hui Zaizhi's Xingcheng in North Huazhou Prefecture is located on the west bank of Luoshui, near Huangling County in later generations.

He Batsheng had no other garden distribution in the north, but he was not far from Xingcheng, so he simply stopped by to visit some Hui.

The group continued north along Luoshui, and arrived at Xingcheng in the evening of the next day.

Li Tai also felt that the pattern of Huazhou City was too militarized, and when he came to the outside of the North Huazhou City, the military color was even stronger, and there were many ravines and camp posts more than ten miles away from the city. Outside the state city, there are many horse moats, and there are only a few roads to get in and out.

"There are often jihu infestations in the north, and a number of Huibao towns guard this township, but they don't suffer from loneliness."

Seeing the layout around the city of North China, He Batsheng couldn't help but be happy.

While he was talking, a group of knights in the city galloped in, and one of them was a tall and eye-catching knight who was several Hui.

"How can Brother Heba have the leisure to travel to Beizhou? Could it be that it is a pity that Li Lang Juncai was abandoned and personally sent to me to listen to the envoy? ”

A number of Hui Ce horses galloped in and greeted the two with a smile: "The timing of your visit is a coincidence, I returned from hunting in the north this morning. Arrive a day early, only here is the wind and sand to entertain guests! ”

He Batsheng smiled and nodded to some Hui, and Li Tai dismounted and said, "Don't come goodbye, make Jun Xiong look like yesterday and look even more radiant." I accompanied my uncle to wander around the countryside, and in the middle of this trip, I wanted to disturb my master, and wanted to ask if the king had a good meal? ”

"The hunt is rich, but I'm afraid that Li Lang will be disgusted with this fishy flesh and refuse to swallow it!"

When Shu Hui heard this, the corners of his mouth flashed with a narrow smile, waved his hand to signal Li Tai to get on the horse, and then turned the horse's head and led the group into the city.

As he approached the city, Li Tai smelled the smell of blood in the air, and his eyes suddenly froze through a row of rejected horses, only to see a row of wooden shelves outside the city, which were full of bloodstained corpses.

Some Hui was still gossiping with He Batsheng, and when he walked here and looked back, he saw Li Tai's expression change, so he pointed to the corpses and said, "This kind of hunting, does Li Lang have an appetite to watch?" ”

Li Tai shook his head hurriedly after hearing this, he really couldn't accept this kind of bad taste, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that there are stubborn thieves wandering into the country?" ”

"The inexhaustible step down thief Hu, a month ago, gathered a crowd to disturb and rob and kill the salt households in the north. When I heard the news and rushed, the thieves scattered again, and they could only track a few, surround and kill them! ”

After hearing this, some Hui hated and said: "Since entering the rule, the military and politics have been busy, and they have been disturbed by these thieves, which is really hateful!" ”

Jihu, also known as Buluoji, is said to be another species of the Xiongnu, which can be traced back to the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, Han and Zhao regimes in China. There are many tribes in it, and they live in the northern part of Fenbei and northern Shaanxi.

As early as the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Lisheng, the leader of Jihu in Fenzhou, took advantage of the mutiny in the six towns to raise troops and proclaim himself the Son of Heaven. This regime existed for nearly ten years, and it was only after the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties split up that Gao Huan found time to exterminate it.

The Jihu Rebellion in northern Shaanxi was also like a bullshit plaster, and the famous generals of the Western Dynasties such as Yu Jin, Hou Mo Chen Chong, and Li Bi in the Eight Pillars of the Later Dynasty all pressed them to brush up on their military exploits, but they were still not completely wiped out.

In the war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Qi army was defeated, and the armor staff was abandoned along the way. It was not until after the Northern Qi was destroyed that it was cleaned up by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Even in the Tang Gaozong period, Jihu in northern Shaanxi raised troops to rebel again, and was quelled by the generals Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting at that time. Speaking of the tenacious obsession of creating a repeated country, these Jihu are even comparable to Gusu Murong Fu in the Northern Song Dynasty, after all, people really raised troops to do it.

Li Tai lamented the tenacity of the thief, but he was still a little uncomfortable with this scene, and did not stop to take a closer look, and rode his horse into the city after He Batsheng and some Hui.

The construction of this Beihuazhou city is not majestic, the height of the city wall is still less than two meters, and there are many traces of destruction, and there are many felt tents in the city's military houses, the number is quite a lot, but it looks a little messy at a glance.

The battalions behaved in an orderly manner, some repaired their staffs, some repaired the city walls, and there were almost no wanderers, which showed that some of the Huizhi troops were still out of order.

But He Batsheng still commented unceremoniously: "Huibao re-governs your old place, and then serves as Fang Mu, but the growth is not great." ”

"Let the old man laugh, I am not a talent who can do things as simple as this, since Daxingtai makes this, I can only do my best, not to be excellent, just to have no faults. When it comes to caring for the people, I do have a lot of brothers who are as bad as they wish. ”

They were old acquaintances of the township party, and some Hui didn't think that He Batsheng was ridiculing him, so he replied with a sigh.

When He Batsheng heard this, he also sighed and said: "If you wish, you are indeed a good man of good governance and compassion, and there is no shortage of people in my generation who can excel in it, but the advantages you have are not something he can compete with." ”

Li Tai followed, and when he heard the conversation between the two people, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and it was indeed a pleasure to listen to the characters at that time comment and complain about their companions.

Not long after, a number of Hui introduced them into a separate hall in the mansion to sit down, waiting for the servants to tidy up the meal, and during this time, there were frequent subordinates entering the hall to report affairs, which shows that some Hui is indeed busy in governing the state.

When he returned, several Hui first smiled apologetically at He Batsheng, and then looked at Li Tai and said, "Li Lang really doesn't think about entering the mansion?" The husband holds the seal and holds the power, and the will can be extended, but he is only lazy in the countryside in this good year, which is really a disappointment! ”

Several Hui have already opened their mouths to solicit Li Tai more than once, and the last time they were in the Shayuan military camp, He Batsheng opened his mouth instead of Li Tai to refuse. This time, there were three people at the table, and some Hui brought up the old things again, which shows that they are really thirsty for talents.

"I'm not afraid of Brother Heba's ridicule, it's really a lot of trouble to enter this state, and it's several times more complicated than in previous years!"

After returning to the table and sitting down, some Hui spit bitter water: "Repair the city affairs and supervise the people's defense, I can still maintain it." But now it's all going on in parallel, and it's really overwhelming. In the middle of the month, the township group of the northern states will gather here to participate in the big reading, and Su Shangshu will supervise the registration of the states and the households, and they will need to enter the ...... after the autumn."

Some Hui's distress actually exposed the shortcomings of the Beizhen martial arts. It is indeed a good performance of attacking cities and conquering cities and fighting in arrays, but when it comes to sitting in the local area and giving politics, it is not his strength.

A number of favors have been solicited again and again, which shows sincerity. If it is Li Tai, who has just entered Kansai, even if He Batsheng is dissuaded at the scene, I am afraid that he can't help but be tempted to agree, otherwise he will be a little ignorant.

But now, Li Tai already has a more specific idea of his future path, and he will no longer blindly pursue opportunities that he can see, but are not suitable for him.

He Batsheng did not open his mouth to dissuade him this time, probably because he also felt the sincerity of some Hui, and felt that it was difficult for him to provide Li Tai with any considerable political future.

"The envoy has been solicited several times, but it is really disrespectful to push it again. But this appreciation is the only thing that makes me afraid to respond, for fear of dereliction of duty and great hurt. ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, some Hui frowned slightly, and He Batsheng also opened his mouth to speak.

Before the two of them could speak, Li Tai took out another scroll and presented it to both hands: "As for the cumbersome government affairs that make the king worried, I have also been quite touched since I lived in my hometown, and I have a plan to ask for advice, hoping that it can be beneficial to state politics." ”

Some Hui was a little gloomy after hearing this, but he was still skeptical, he knew that the state affairs were trivial and cumbersome, and he didn't think that Li Tai had any strategy to simplify the complicated.

When he opened the scroll and shook out the pieces of paper and opened them slightly, his expression was even more puzzled: "What is this?" ”

"This is the bottom book of the account book."

Li Tai was also a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't even know this, how did you do it.

"Of course I know it's accounting, but what does it have to do with my state...... No, wait, this is? ”

Some Hui looked at the paper album for a moment, and his eyes stayed on the blank space of the official document, and then he saw a little mystery.

Li Tai stepped forward, pointed to the blank space of those official documents, and said: "In the politics of the people, in addition to education, the most important thing is to supervise the class. To create a book from the officials, it is necessary to carefully distinguish and write one by one, which is labor-intensive and costly. But now you only need to hold this booklet, fill in the title of the book, and fill in the numbers, and the number of townships will be changed every day, which is convenient and fast! ”

"It's a convenient method, but don't these books also need to be written by a scribe?"

After hearing this, some Hui frowned at first, and then wrinkled again: "At present, there are only 30 clerks in the state government, and if you don't use it in the township, it will be in the government, and the labor is still insufficient!" ”

More than 30 clerks were responsible for writing the military and political documents of an entire state, which was a huge amount of work, and Li Tai felt more and more that this was a good idea.

"If I only move the labor before and after, I don't dare to say anything. Please take a closer look at the volumes, they are not hand-written......"

Li Tai arranged the papers on the case, and then said with a smile: "I was tired of being tired of the family before, so I made this clever plan. When my uncle asked me to rectify the township business, I went to Baishui a day ago, and saw that there were more good paper-making materials in the village, so I had a plan, which could not only help the country, but also make up for the furniture......"
