After going out to wander around, Li Tai and his entourage finally returned to the Metropolitan Water Administration on the west bank of Luoshui.

When they left, a group of people rode lightly, and when they returned, there were more than 20 carts, loaded with a full harvest. In order to ensure the safety of the return journey, several Hui also sent an additional 300 heavily armed North China cavalry.

But Li Tai still felt a little embarrassed, he was a water messenger and a Luoshui Hebo, and he came all the way south along Luoshui, but he couldn't take the boat and take the waterway, which was simply an insult to his official position!

The reason why we do not take the waterway is that in addition to the fact that there are not too many boats and boats in North China itself, it is also because the navigation conditions of Luoshui in the middle are too poor. All kinds of private weirs barrage make the Luoshui River course tortuous and intermittent.

So on the way back, Li Tai also paraded the corpse of the township hao, not to vent his anger, but to demonstrate: This is the end of disobedience to the order of the Water Administration, if you also want to, I will not be stingy!

The subordinate officials who stayed behind did not have such a strong sense of honor and disgrace as Li Tai, and when they saw him traveling, they not only brought back Mao Shijian and others who were besieged, but also brought back so many goods, and they couldn't help but applaud one by one.

Especially after Mao Shijian and others publicized the deeds of the northward trip, everyone looked at Li Tai with more reverence, who doesn't like a responsible officer? After this incident, the members of the staff have created a sense of belonging to the Metropolitan Water Administration.

Li Tai didn't have time to continue team building, so he first asked his subordinates to take stock of the goods he brought back and store them.

In addition to these goods, there were two large carts for the wounded and the dead. Seeing the body of his colleague being carried down, the originally warm atmosphere in the government office suddenly became depressed.

Some of these subordinates are Li Tai's own songs, some are official and private songs of various subordinates, and some are selected from the soldiers.

Li Tai also did not identify their respective identities, and set aside 200 horses of silk and 10 hectares of public land, and ordered Pei Hong, the recorder, to bury the deceased properly and resettle their relatives.

The agency was created in a hurry, and Li Tai did not accumulate much in the past few days. After handling the affairs of the department, he instructed his subordinates to prepare supplies and take the opportunity to present them to the Xingtai to meet Yuwentai.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

When he heard Li Tai's order to load only the fish and vinegar materials that the bureau had recently purchased and produced, Lu Yan, who had already officially joined the army, couldn't help but say: "Will some of the goods obtained from this trip be transferred to Xingtai?" ”

Li Tai shook his head after hearing this, and said, "The income from this trip is just an accident, and you can keep it for later use." Collecting fish is the business of the Administration Department, and it should be transported properly. ”

He has a valid reason for this, but it always feels weird. But after a period of time, Li Tai also established his authority in the official office, and when he said this, Lu Yan didn't say anything more, but asked people to quickly load the thousands of catties of fresh fish from the river.

In the afternoon, Li Tai led his subordinates to escort the truck to Huazhou City.

"Lee engaged in this is ......"

When he came to the gate of Taifu, the commander of the garrison was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Li Tai smiled and said: "What I have received before, my career is small, so I will lose the official position and exaggerate my achievements." ”

Taiwan has attracted many onlookers inside and outside the government, and when they heard Li Tai say this, they all praised it.

Li Tai took all these sycophants, and then walked into the Taiwan Mansion with his head held high. There was already a straight hall waiting in the house, and after catching Li Tai, he led him to the straight hall, and his attitude was much more attentive than before.

This time, Li Tai did not wait too long outside the straight hall, and was directly summoned when he came to the outside of the straight hall.

"I didn't have to return for a long time to repay my merits, and I also want to see how much Li Boshan has made contributions!"

When Li Tai got up, Yu Wentai, who was sitting in the hall, said with a smile, but when he saw that Li Tai's official account book only listed more than 3,000 catties of fish and vinegar, the smile on his face was a little stiff.

Li Tai is still bowing his head and telling the Metropolitan Water Administration how to do things seriously during this time, and he has not contributed much to the food of Taiwan on the basis of being poor and white.

Yuwen Taiqiang listened to his boasting after listening to him, and finally couldn't help but say: "The envoys of Beihua Prefecture and Fucheng County entered the stage this morning, I don't listen to it, what do you have to say?" ”

"Before, Dushui's actions were indeed blocked, and the minister did not dare to slack off, and went north to coordinate, but fortunately, with the assistance of the governor of the other state and county, the matter was finally properly resolved. Please rest assured that the operation of the agency will never be delayed. When the former Baishui County villagers went to build a pond weir in their territory, the minister had already made an envoy to visit the township, and if the township was coordinated and the planning went smoothly, he would be able to work this autumn. ”

Li Tai heard Yu Wentai's words, but he didn't accept it, but continued to report.

When Yu Wentai heard this, his brows furrowed obviously, and he slapped the book on the eucalyptus and said, "What about other things? ”

"The local heroes are arrogant and difficult to control, and the ministers feel deeply, but the ministers can control them. This autumn is still lacking in resources, do not dare to make a big plan, after the coordination of the hometown, the previous structure of all things, next year can be calmly employed. ”

Li Tai said with a respectful face: "If you say that there is trouble, there is indeed a problem. There are many river bandits and land bandits, and this evil act in the north is also a wake-up call. Although the ministers only use water conservancy, they do need to be prepared to prevent disasters. This was originally one of the responsibilities of the Dushui Legislature, and the ministers did not dare to sue for distress and nuisance. Just wait for the process to be promoted, and the trouble will be lifted naturally. ”

"Li Boshan, do you think I will rely on you? What is going on in that Pushan Temple? Where did you gather the heavy goods you carried when you returned, and why did you not see the book of events? ”

Yu Wentai saw that he was still carrying a clear pretend, and his tone became more serious.

Li Tai avoided saying anything, he didn't want to play with the boss, but he knew in his heart what kind of urine this boss was, and if he wanted to take the initiative to say it, this round of harvest might not be left at all.

"The minister is focused on the affairs of the department, and he has not had time to talk about the rest. The performance is unknown, please forgive me. ”

Seeing that Yu Wentai was really so shameless and directly attacked his idea of loot, Li Tai hurriedly said: "In addition to punishing the evil of the river tyrant and the township, this trip is indeed a thin thing. Just because it is not his own business to see the benefits, the minister is ashamed to say it, and he does not dare to offer evil to seek luck.

The envoys of the command have their duties, and they do not follow the right path, and they are not enough to boast about their merits. Collecting things in the warehouse is not only a self-warning, but also a warning to colleagues, don't waste your job because of luck! If it is not for the water business, the upper or lenient will not be punished, and the minister needs to quit it! ”

When Yu Wentai heard this, his expression couldn't help but stagnate, you trespassed into other states and counties to loot and conceal the profits, are you quite reasonable?

He was still organizing words here to refute this fallacy, Li Tai had already taken out another performance sheet and presented it respectfully with both hands: "As for the matter of Pushan Temple asked by Daxingtai, the hidden situation is complicated, and it can be explained in detail if it is not a piece of words, so the minister has a special performance statement, please review it on Daxingtai." ”

Yu Wentai took the piece first, and while browsing it, he was still thinking about how to teach this kid a lesson later. I want to do something I don't dare to do, you actually did it, and you still refuse to hand it over, you really don't know how many pounds and taels you have!

But soon, he had no time to think about these things, and his attention was all attracted by the content of this recital, and even after reading it many times in a row, his hands and feet couldn't help but stretch and contract, and his brows were even more provocative, which showed that his mood was unsettled.

After a long while, he put down the recital, his fingers knocked unconsciously, but his eyes kept staring at Li Tai, and he couldn't see the joy and anger in his eyes, and Li Tai was a little hairy in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Li Boshan, what else in this world can make you sincerely awe? Don't be a lie, I can tell! ”

Yu Wentai finally spoke, but the words he said made Li Tai feel creepy.

Why are you scaring me? Shouldn't you praise me for being a godsend?

He was really a little numb when he asked this, and while kneeling down, he quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and said in a somewhat dry tone: "There are many people who are feared by the ministers, and if you choose words in a hurry, the one who fears them the most is suffering."

The former was in a hurry in the mountains, losing ground in advance and retreat, and he was in a hurry, and he still couldn't help but sleep in horror. Manpower is indeed weak, but ghosts and gods are also like great realities, heaven and earth are long, where can life be placed, so that people can be free from suffering for a long time? Chen Le'an is tired of chaos, afraid of life and death, and fears virtue and might......"

"Alright, shut up. I just want to find out your sincerity, but I don't have to depreciate myself and be ugly. What I talked about before was limited to personnel, but now I have a ghost and a god. If it weren't for the Lord of Generosity, I really wouldn't be able to tolerate you, a wise and demonic person, but I can support you! ”

When Yu Wentai said this, he picked up the watch again and sighed: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" There has been no shortage of people who have spoken out about this before, but they have been unable to point directly at the most important people. With this plan, Boshan deserves to be rewarded by the official, but this doesn't seem to be your own duty, right? ”

"Panic! Therefore, the greed is not offered, just because the administration is really troubled, although the words are vulgar, and the virtuous are ashamed, but the minister is not a guest of the discussion, and the vulgarity is inevitable, so it is ......"

"I've given you a chance, but it's too late to admit your mistakes. Your wisdom is that you can be honest with things and people, so you should not be subject to ordinary constraints. It is inconvenient for you to teach your own elders, but there are still elders in the world who will never condone your frivolity. Do you know that the little things in my house have done something wrong, how will I punish them? Come near! ”

Li Tai hung his head a little inexplicably and walked to the eucalyptus, and saw Yu Wentai take out a wooden ruler from under the eucalyptus, and suddenly realized in his heart, are you going to beat Lao Tzu as a son?

He subconsciously wanted to jump away, but Yuwentai shouted sharply, and after he was so frightened that he paused, he waved the wooden ruler and slapped him on the back, and scolded in his mouth: "Do you know how to change? ”

Li Tai really didn't know how to complain about Yuwentai's way of expressing closeness, so he could only cooperate and nod his head again and again to forgive, this is not good to go out and brag, I can't tell Yuwenyong and them in the future If it weren't for Lao Tzu to share the firepower, you would have been killed by your Lao Tzu's domestic violence.

Yu Wentai slapped more than a dozen times before he stopped, and his expression was still a little unfinished, which showed that it was not a day or two to beat this kid, and this was not a show at all.

"Stand down!"

He waved his hand again to drive Li Tai into the hall before he said again: "I can't reward you this time, it's not because of your previous recklessness. It's that this time there is a danger hidden in the words and deeds, and if you really follow this, you don't have any other plans and fear of harming big things. Do you want to know what you are doing wrong? ”
