Zhao Gui's manor has an area of more than 270 hectares, but according to the government's consistent urine and Li Tai's visual measurements, the actual overall area of this manor is at least more than 300 hectares, and most of them are flat and fertile fields.

With such a vast area of manor, there are three canals along the Luoshui alone, and the land of the manor has also been fully cultivated, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields are flat and white, and the slopes and valleys and ravines are scattered among them, and the impact on the vision is simply incomparable.

Li Tai walked through the manor, his vision and his heart were shocked. Guanzhong is already a narrow township, even if all the cultivated land in a county is added up, I am afraid that it is not so large.

During the Middle and Tang Dynasty, the descendants of Li Bi, one of the Six Pillar Kingdoms, wrote "The Family Biography of the Marquis of Ye", which recorded the basic organizational structure in the early stage of the formation of the government military system.

What exactly these six families are talking about, there are many discussions in later generations, some say that it is a sixth-class household, some say that it refers to the six squares, and some say that it refers to the six pillars of the country.

At present, the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty is still in a period of development, and the Six Pillars State has not yet been put in place, so Li Tai naturally does not know what the so-called Six Families refer to.

However, after learning about the current supply methods of the Western Wei army, and seeing the rich local industries occupied by these Beizhen military leaders, he felt that it should be more reasonable for the Six Pillars State to supply armaments.

In history, the generals of the Zhuzhu Kingdom except Yuwentai appeared in the fourteenth and fifteenth years of the Great Unification. Before that, they had been in power in Kansai for many years, and they had already become the landlords of the great army based in Kansai, and they could no longer be regarded as poor army leaders.

After the big change of the surname Hu, the government soldiers had to change to the surname of the general, which also shows that the early government soldiers had a certain nature of private soldiers. As the supreme commander of the government army, it is natural that the Six Pillars State is responsible for the preparation and provision of a part of the military supplies.

Although the Six Pillars Kingdom was enthroned not long after, its power has been blurred, and it has begun to reduce its personnel. The total giving of the six families may not be a long-term system, but judging from Li Tai's perception of Yuwentai, respecting his position, vaining his power, seizing his capital, and cutting his power, Yuwentai can definitely do it.

For example, at the moment, asking for Zhao Gui's manor property as the capital for the Taiwan government to open up a new business, although Li Tai still doesn't know the inside story, he thinks that Yu Wentai must have provided Zhao Gui with compensation in other aspects that he can't refuse.

This boss is very kind on the surface, but in fact, his heart is dark!

In the fields, some important millet crops have been harvested, but many of the remaining miscellaneous crops are still quite impressive. Wait until the laborers arrive and then harvest, at least the water administration does not have to worry about the rations for the second half of the year.

Although the manor industry was beautiful, the planning was poor, the living places were disorderly, and there were many shacks and tents where serfs lived in the fields. In addition to the fact that the main building of the manor is still grand, it is not even as good as Li Tai's own Shangyuan Village in other aspects.

After all, a loser like him who is keen on construction is rare in the entire Kansai. Analogy with the economic situation before He Batsheng, even if Zhao Gui occupies Toyota Beauty, he may not be rich enough to rival the country.

After making some rounds, Li Tai decided to set up his office here.

It stands to reason that the envoy of Dushui should sit in the imperial city of Chang'an, and the Langzhong should work in Xingtai, and Li Tai has neither the title of opening the government, nor the state and county governor with a conclusive title, and he is not qualified to establish an administrative office outside the Taiwan government.

However, his ministry is special and not suitable for sitting in the office, and the expediency is also for the convenience of doing things.

The six candidates for the army each held a letter and left the manor with a sad face.

Pei Hong and Li Zhi were left behind, and Li Tai arranged a position for Pei Hong to record the relevant orders, so that he could lead the historians selected by his family to quickly copy the relevant books and orders, and Li Zhi temporarily led the military and was responsible for transmitting orders to the state and county officials and village tycoons along the route.

To do something, you must first let the people know about the existence of his office. Previously, Sinong had notified the prefectures and counties along the Luoshui route of this appointment, but the people were still at a loss about it.

Where to start to open the situation, Li Tai has already weighed it for a long time.

Although it is said that the new official has three fires in office, this fire should not be burned too hard, after all, the Metropolitan Water Administration did not exist before this, and if it stood on the opposite side of the public interest from the beginning, it was undoubtedly looking for excitement.

It is necessary to let everyone feel the existence of the Dushui Yamen, but also not to produce too much resistance and antagonism, so after thinking about it, Li Tai decided that the first thing to do when the Dushui Yamen was established was to collect fish!

He asked Pei Hong to draw up a "fish purchase order", and then Li Zhi led the crowd to post and publicize it at the place where the Luoshui Bridge was crossed, and the Dushui Yamen bought the fishermen's fish along the river according to the current price.

At the same time, he also issued a purchasing order to all the owners of the mill along the river, and these landlords need to buy 1,000 catties of fish on their behalf before this autumn, and if they cannot deliver the full amount, they will not be allowed to carry out the milling operation after October.

Pei Hong was still immersed in writing a book order, but when he heard this, the brush in his hand paused, as if he suspected that he had misheard, and raised his head and said: "It's cold in Kansai, and the river is usually frozen after October. Such a ban is not enough to make a statement! ”

"The time is not something we can predict, but we must do it!"

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said, how could he not understand this common sense? The problem is that the embankment along the river has been set up for many years and has been completely uncontrolled, and now it has to be suddenly controlled, which will inevitably arouse the resentment of the people.

This order, though harshly worded, is in fact a null and void. Most owners see it as a joke and may not face up to it.

But for Li Tai, a line has been drawn, that is, whether the river can be operated or not, Lao Tzu has the final say!

This is to establish a model of apportioning tasks in exchange for management rights, and it can also identify those owners who are willing to take it seriously, and who does not give face to Dushui Yamen at all. After the goal is established, there are ways to clean up.

"But even if you want to buy fish, the Fang Jin Office has no reserves of materials! If you really want to hand over the catch, how should you pay for it? ”

Next to him, Li Zhi asked curiously.

Li Tai had already foreseen this, and after hearing this, he said with a smile: "There is a district here, you can sit on the land and make profits, although the government office is not run by people, but it can be rented out." Tell the officials and people here, two days later, the rent will be selected in this office, and those who are interested can come to the high price, and the high price will get! ”

Can a living person suffocate urine? Li Tai is most satisfied with the Western Wei government, that is, the law does not prohibit it, everything can be done, last year he did business with the Wuxiang County Government, this year it is his turn to sit in the government, of course, he has to do it, first get a pen to make money.

He has been greedy for this area for a long time, and he doesn't plan to hand it over to others, but he must get it into his own hands.

However, he has just taken office as a new official, and there is no shortage of internal and external concerns, and it is not good to blatantly fill his own pockets, so he still has to hold a bidding meeting to get by, and it can be regarded as paying for his own money to invigorate the affairs of the water.

After the bidding is in progress, you can enclose the high walls of this place, and in addition to the work, you can get a few large spinning wheels to spin the yarn and spin the thread, so that the money printing machine can be fully activated.

In addition, he went to Baishui County near the left near Liu Gong to communicate, and ceded a part of the manor's cultivated land as the county Zhongguantun, in exchange for several government-run ferries and boats operated in the county.

As for the ferry boats controlled by Wuxiang County, he had already won them over through Zheng Man and rowed them to Qu Meng.

It's a joke that the whole house is a water yamen, and even a few ferries and boats can't be controlled. With these in your hands, you can collect tolls with peace of mind, and it is also an income to pluck the feathers of geese.

Several work arrangements were made, and the first thing to get feedback was the exchange of resources with Nanbaishui County, and a county lieutenant followed Liu Gong to the riverside manor the next day.

"Gao Pingnan's deeds in Luodong Township, a certain Luoxi people have also been famous for a long time, and they are admired in their hearts!"

The county lieutenant was in his fifties, and after entering the hall, he couldn't help but ask: "The rumors of the former villager Liu, are they true?" ”

"The yatang is newly established, and there is no office. Living in this county, I also hope to be able to help each other. There are three people who are set up along the river in Nanbaishui, and there are more than 30 boats and boats, and they are willing to replace them with 30 hectares of fertile land. If the county lieutenant can be the master, he can do it at this time! ”

Li Tai replied with a smile.

The county lieutenant was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was a little embarrassed: "It's only thirty acres...... However, the county has been operating for a long time, and the boat production and maintenance have also consumed a lot, can it be ......?"

"Since I have been commanded, I am honest in my work, and I do not want to fight with the county officials. The bridge and the boat were already in the capital water, and the county officials were in charge for a long time, and they did have hard work, so they ceded the public land as a reward. It's a trivial matter, and it's not worth disturbing the big line. If you make a statement based on this, you will inevitably lose peace with the county officials. ”

Li Taiken took out thirty hectares of fertile land to replace it, which was already polite, and when he heard that the county lieutenant wanted more, his face suddenly fell. To be honest, in his eyes, these county officials are not as strong and difficult as those local heroes.

Seeing this, the county lieutenant suddenly didn't dare to insist, and hurriedly said: "It's the subordinate who is confused for a while, and there is really no need to bother the boss." Thirty hectares, thirty hectares! It's just that the labor in the county is scarce, and the Tianjin ferry workers still need to be returned to the government to listen to the ......"

"Of course, each other has their own duties, how dare they meddle in other affairs."

Li Tai is not insatiable, even the boatmen have to pack together, and by the way, he also shows his attitude that he will not casually levy labor in the county.

After making this deal, he was in a good mood, and then said with a smile: "The benefits of Luodong Township have been heard from far and near. If there is a canal in this county, you can spread the news, and if the township is appropriate, you can make things happen as soon as possible! ”

"I must tell the county respect that Lang Jun will do this!"

When the county respected heard this, he smiled dryly and said in response, seeing that there was a lack of sincerity.

Li Tai is not surprised by this, without the support of local resources, the power of county officials is actually very limited, and they are only in their positions.

The reason why Longshou Canal can be built is mainly because of his vigorous promotion, although the county commander Du Yun is also a good official, but the power and energy do not allow it.

Therefore, if he wants to rectify Luoshui as a whole, the key is not the government along the line, but the local tyrants who have people and things.
