Cui Ji did things resolutely, Li Tai stayed at his house for a night after the dinner this night, and in the early morning of the next day, Cui's protégé entered the front to tell ten papermaking technicians had been recruited to wait in the front hall, and they could follow Li Tai back to their hometowns at any time.

My cousin is so energetic, even if half of it is out of consideration for his own career performance, Li Tai is also subject to this contract, everyone is really good, and he naturally can't procrastinate.

So he had a simple breakfast at the Cui family's mansion, and went into the inner hall to say goodbye to his cousin, who had hardly met him, and then left Chang'an with his entourage and the ten paper-making craftsmen.

On the way, he also sent two of He Batsheng's personal soldiers to his nephew's house to inform him that he was going to return to his hometown in advance, but before he left Chang'an City, the two caught up, saying that the lord had returned to the manor outside the city yesterday.

Thinking that yesterday He Batsheng was still in Meizizi and said that he would stay in the city for a few days, Li Tai felt a little strange in his heart, and he thought that he should not be very happy to meet this time.

Sure enough, when he returned to the manor outside the city, several of He Batsheng's personal soldiers greeted him, and said with a heavy face: "Yesterday, the lord and the two young men were not very happy to meet, and I was a little resentful, so please let Li Lang go into the house and forgive me." ”

When Li Tai heard this, he nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to He Batsheng's room, and as soon as he came to the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine coming from the room.

"Li Lang is back, yesterday the two Lang monarchs were angry because of the previous incident between the lord and Zhao Huqi, and the lord became seriously ill after he returned."

Zhu Ziyong, who was in charge of decocting the medicine, saw Li Tai coming, so he quickly got up and approached and whispered.

When Li Tai heard this, he knew in his heart, and walked into the room to bypass a bamboo screen, and saw He Batsheng lying on the couch, his legs covered in the air, and his breathing was rough and heavy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, He Batsheng turned his head to look, as if he was suffering from muscle and bone pain due to the excessive range of movement, and he gasped in pain, until Li Taixing reached the front of the couch, he eased up, and a smile squeezed out of his green tendon face: "Reunion of relatives, happy talk, right?" ”

"Alas, I am Meng Lang in the township who is lazy, and when I see Cui Envoy Junjun, I am timid and restless, so I returned early to accompany my uncle."

Li Tai sighed deliberately, and sighed on the edge of the couch.

When He Batsheng heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Cui Shiyue has such a chronic illness, his family has a strong backbone, he has never been close to the masses, and he does not deliberately treat you like this." After getting along for a long time, you will understand that he treats people with sincerity and sincerity, which is better than many people who are used to pretentiousness......"

At this point, he paused and fell silent.

Li Tai sat on the side with his head down, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I am just a young fool who is shallow in the world, and I dare not show off my human favor and wisdom in front of my uncle. But the so-called suffering without disobedience, passing without abiding by, the saint still needs to conform to nature, uncle, if you are still stubborn, is it a bit arrogant? ”

He Batsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then snorted coldly after a while: "Do you dare to laugh at me when you see that I am old and difficult to revive, and I have no children to support me!" ”

"I just think that there is always a last resort for people or things. Uncle, you are now old and sick and bedridden, and you should understand that manpower is poor, blood and qi are weak, and no matter how you overdo your feelings, it will not help or benefit others.

There are still many people in the world who need to rely on your uncle's power to live, uncle, you are no longer a perfect person after half your life, and now you still have to indulge in self-harm like this, and you are harming others! ”

When Li Tai said this, seeing He Batsheng clenching his fist and waving it, he hurriedly jumped to dodge, looked at He Batsheng, who looked a little angry, and sighed: "In the past, my uncle just heard too many words that were pleasing to the ear, so the slightest smell of the ear would make the liver angry, which is not good." Half a lifetime of intelligence to seek people and things, now it is all empty, and now you should know how to explain yourself, so as not to achieve nothing. ”

He Batsheng was powerless to chase Li Tai, and after a moment of silence, he pounded the bed and said angrily: "The truth is this, but can the kid say it better!" Anyone may slander me and complain against me, but I have not done you any less......"

"Uncle wants to listen to the good words, I have countless here, just because I still have to seek peace within my uncle's power. But those two Lang Jun dared to fight with their relatives and elders in person, which shows that they already have the wisdom to make a living outside this force, and they are not yet adults. ”

Li Tai stepped forward again and patted He Batsheng's arm and said: "The times have changed, and what people can expect may only be two or three, but there are tens of millions of things that cannot be expected. Knowing how to behave in the world is far more precious than begging people around your knees. They had never been taught in court before, so why should they be expected to be obedient now?

They are grateful to Zhao Huqi for receiving the righteousness of his relatives, but they indulge in the feelings and tolerance of their uncle, or they are affectionate, but they also value righteousness. Love and righteousness are both, and the uncle can't take care of it, so he really doesn't have to mind that his children are incompetent. ”

People have different situations and look at people from different angles.

For He Batyue's two sons, He Batsheng is just the second uncle who they don't often meet and don't have deep feelings, but Zhao Gui is a good friend who helped their father collect the bones, avenge them and care for them to grow up.

If they think even more blackly, perhaps they still have a grudge against Hobatsheng in their hearts.

Back then, if He Batsheng could enter Guanzhong in time, the family feud did not have to fake outsiders, and the power of the He Batting family could be preserved, then they could also be as prominent as the Yuwen Dao and Yuwen Hu brothers, and they didn't have to be cautious and obscure in everything.

If you think about everything emotionally, your reason will become more and more blurred. It didn't matter if he could do it or not, he didn't do it anyway. In previous years, you ignored crying and asking for milk, but now that you have quit breastfeeding, you come over with a bottle to be courteous, who needs it?

"Ah Pan's warning made me sweat with shame, and even more so than the medicine. There are some things that should not be confused, and the matter has come to this point, and the light and heavy cannot be transferred by my own will. ”

He Batsheng was silent on the couch for a long time before he sighed, although his physical condition did not improve immediately, the depression between his eyebrows and eyes also dissipated a lot.

At this time, Zhu Ziyong also held the decoction into the inner room, and Li Tai moved his position and asked the maid to enter to support the medicine.

After taking the medicine, He Batsheng lay down for a while, his spirit improved slightly, and then he said to Li Tai again: "Jing Zhaozuo is a few villages, I can't lead you to inspect with me, so I will walk with you under the door." ”

"Left near Zhuangye, it should be roughly the same. But when the ploughing is smooth, it should not be difficult to harvest constantly. If I suddenly intervene, it will inevitably add to the trouble of handing over the matter, so it is better to operate as usual. ”

After seeing that the relationship between He Batsheng and his two nephews was not good, Li Tai also felt that it was a bit rash to promise to take over He Batsheng's family affairs before.

Perhaps He Batsheng and his cronies still had the idea of borrowing him to run and leave some property to the sons of Dongzhou, but Li Tai knew in his heart that He Batsheng's sons were afraid that they were no longer there at the moment.

This means that He Batsheng's official power in the Western Dynasty can only be inherited by his nephews, and Li Tai will inevitably face many lawsuits in the future when he takes over these properties. They didn't even give their uncle face, so how could they put Li Tai in their eyes?

Although He Batsheng is still alive at the moment, and Li Tai also needs to use his power to take another journey, some disputes that may be encountered in the future should also be prepared for a rainy day.

After a moment's thought, he spoke again: "Although the Luoshui business has not yet begun, it is expected that it will not be difficult to have a bumper harvest. Baishui Manor is beautiful and livable, while Jingzhao is restless and disturbing, and the uncle can move the injured and sick old people there. The rest of the garden industry or tenant or farming, do what you can, as long as the accounts are clear, there is no need for a special person to look long. ”

Although there are more than 3,700 people in the Hobatsheng tribe, the proportion of the real labor force is not high. The burden on the population is extremely huge, and a considerable number of official loss tasks must be completed every year, and if the industrial structure is not fundamentally solved, it will be difficult for Li Tai to achieve immediate improvement even if he takes over.

Li Tai meant to give up part of the farming industry, rent the manor or return it directly to Daxingtai, pull off part of the burden of the losing officials, and ensure that the troops were fed and clothed at the same time, and concentrate the limited labor force on the advantageous industries.

Last night, he chatted with Cui Ji about the administrative situation of the prefectures in Guannai, and felt more and more that there was a big market for the business of printing official documents.

According to Cui Ji, in Qizhou, which is next door to Jingzhao, there were only 3,000 households in the prefecture during the fifth year of the Great Unification, and by the eighth year of the Great Unification last year, the scale of the number of households had reached more than 30,000, which shows that the Western Wei Dynasty had great potential in accounting and registering.

The reason why Qizhou has achieved such a large expansion of households is not only because of its own talents, but also because it has a staff library provided by the family behind him, so that he can manage state affairs carefully and carefully, and he can be among the best in the annual examination.

According to the regulations of the Western Wei Dynasty when the fourth examination is completed, this year will be the year of Zheng Daoyong's promotion. Qizhou is already a large state in the Guannai, and Zheng Daoyong has made meritorious contributions to the governance of the territory, and the most likely position to be promoted is Jing Zhaoyin.

That's why Cui Ji attaches so much importance to the industry of Li Tae's printing of official documents, and only this year when he can achieve excellent political results in Jing Zhaoyin's position, it is possible to keep Jing Zhaoyin's position.

He told Li Tai that it would be a great help if he could provide 10,000 accounting books, and that he planned to add 10,000 new households to Jingzhao County after the autumn of this year, but because he did not know the production capacity of this printed official document, he said such a necessary conservative figure, and the actual demand was much larger.

It is reasonable that Li Taidu has to help Cui Ji's cousin, and he also expects his cousin to stay in this position and assign the dragon head to him in the next year.

Jingzhao County now has more than 40,000 households, and Cui Ji wants to add 10,000 on this basis, that is, more than 50,000 households.

Accounting account registration is not a formula, aside from the annual consumption of new production, the subordinate counties and townships need to keep the register, the Jingzhao County government needs to keep the bottom, and also submit a copy to the Daxingtai for payment. This is the demand for hundreds of thousands of official documents every year, and it is definitely a big deal!
