In the cold winter season, get up early to practice martial arts, and then drink a bowl of steaming, soft and fragrant haggis soup cakes after returning home, Li Tai can't help but sigh that this is called a good life.

He had finished breakfast here, and many of his subordinates hadn't gotten up yet. The cold wind blew by the river for a few days, and it was all torturous to eat and live, and finally had a comfortable place to live, and they all slept until the third pole of the sun.

Li Tai sat in the middle hall of the manor and wrote a plan for a long time, and his subordinates with puffy eyelids who slept entered the hall one after another.

When the personnel were almost there, Li Taicai asked about the affairs of the administration during this period of time.

The administration has not been established for a long time, and recently it has only been around the big reading, which is not complicated. Aside from the big reading, the only thing that is within the scope of the office is the pond weir project in Baishui County.

When Li Tai entered the village yesterday, he noticed that part of the cultivated land in Baishui Manor had been cut out, and Baishui County had also transferred some of the households.

The most important contradiction between man and land was solved, and the construction of the pond weir in Baishui County also began. With the help of the organizational strength of the Qumeng, more than 2,000 people have worked in the territory, and the frame circle of the pond weir has been dug out, but if it is to be completed before the spring flood next year, the personnel investment will have to be doubled.

However, at present, the civil power around the realm is mainly used around the Great Reading, and it is necessary to wait until the end of the Great Reading to continue to increase investment. After the completion of this pond weir, it is expected to benefit about 1,000 hectares of land, and the middle and lower reaches of Baishui can also be navigated, which can more easily transport coal and clay between the mountains and mountains.

Li Tai did not intervene in the land added to Baishui County, but the management of the pond weir was vested in the Capital Water Administration. This means that the capacity of this section of the river belongs to Li Tai.

In the past, the Baishui channel was wide and shallow, which was not suitable for erecting a dili, but now with a pond weir to share the flood discharge, it is possible to erect a section of the river where Baishui flows into Luoshui. With these grains, the ore can be processed, and together with the coal transported, it can be smelted in furnaces here.

Yuwentai gave Li Tai the establishment of the three defenses before, and let him choose the location of the garrison by himself, and Li Tai planned to set up a defense in Baishui.

Baishui was originally the junction line between the upper and lower reaches of Luoshui, and fortifying it here meant that Li Tai had an armed force on the northern edge of the Guanzhong Plain, which was full of deterrent power along the middle and lower reaches of the river, and could take care of the military factory and build a storage center.

Of course, his choice to build the city here is not full of private plans, and there are also considerations to guard against thieves.

On the other side of the white water, in the north of Chengcheng County, there is a large mountain area, called Liangshan, that is, Huanglong Mountain in later generations. On the other side of the river is Luliang Mountain in Shanxi, and the section of the Yellow River sandwiched between each other is the Longmen of the Yellow River.

A series of mountain ranges in Liangshan and central Shaanxi, also collectively known as Beishan, also have many Jihu in the territory, named Beishan Hu, which is a stronger Jihu force than the Heishui Hu force, and even once hit the Huazhou River Defense of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Huazhou's army was mainly fortified along the river to resist the Eastern Wei men and horses on the opposite bank, and it was not convenient to dispatch.

Therefore, there is also a gathering place for the township regiments in the realm, and Li Tai's fortification here is not to directly smash the old nest of Huazhou and collect protection money from the lower reaches of Luoshui, but to deter and guard against Beishanhu.

When the Baishui defense city is built, with the main stream of Luoshui as the fulcrum, it can continue to build the fort dock wall along the Shibao River of the tributaries with the development of power, so as to make the northern part of the Guanzhong Plain more stable.

As for the other two defenses, Li Tai is ready to arrange them in the upper reaches of Luoshui, but there is no need to worry at the moment, after all, the upper reaches of Luoshui are too wild, even if the people and horses are organized first, just eating and drinking is a problem.

Although Yuwentai listened to the advice of his official supervisor Yanyin, if he wants to implement it, it will inevitably take a process.

Without the official salt and salt introduction as an intermediary, there is no way to implement the law of opening the Chinese law, so there is no need to rush the military construction in the upper reaches of Luoshui, first open up the Luoshui and the Kulichuan canal, and then talk about it, and Li Mu is squatting there to show himself the construction site.

Therefore, the next focus is to unite the forces in the lower reaches of Luoshui, and first engage in the arming of 3,000 troops.

Li Tai had already planned the recruitment of soldiers, and while Li Zhusheng was also supervising the construction of Chiyan in Baishui County, he summoned him and ordered him to communicate with the county officials on his behalf.

At the same time, he also instructed Wu Jingyi to set off immediately, and from then on go south to tell the owners of the weirs along the Luoshui River, ordering them to donate grain and silk to supervise the canals before the New Year, and to dismantle all the weirs that had not been delivered to the Metropolitan Water Administration Department before!

His original plan was not so radical, he was prepared to start at the turn of summer and autumn next year, when the water power was booming, but who would have thought that a trip to northern Shaanxi would suddenly become awesome?

Then I'm sorry, if you don't obey the order of the Water Administration, then you can only be regarded as a water thief, clean it up and hurry up to attract investment! With I, Governor Li Dadu, in charge, of course, we must let the interests of the masses in the river basin be evenly distributed. You say you're not a water thief, but why do all the villagers report you?

He issued several orders one after another, and the masses under him were also gearing up and preparing to do a big job. As Li Tai's power grows, their subordinates will naturally rise as well.

Even if there were still people who couldn't appreciate the value of power before, but after the big reading began, they were arranged to drink the cold wind for a few days, and then compared with the situation after the return of Li Tai, the chief, they were all deeply touched and full of subjective initiative.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and Li Taizheng was going to go to the big reading venue again, and came down to tell Liu Min to visit.

Liu Min is not only a colleague of Taiwan, but also Li Tai's creditor, he hurriedly came out of the hall to greet him, Liu Min also came to meet him, and first conveyed Daxingtai's password: "The former Li Langrong is tired, Daxingtai will allow you to live in the countryside for a few days to recuperate, and you don't have to participate in the big reading, and you can return to Taiwan after the big reading." ”

"I was just about to go to the camp to listen to the order, and He Lao Liulang took a ride in person. The countryside is simple, the plain seats are laid out, if there is no complicated thing to urge each other, please be sure to stay here for me to talk and express my gratitude! ”

Li Tai pulled Liu Min's sleeve and led him to the hall, and Liu Min did not refuse, and walked into the hall side by side with Li Tai.

After sitting down with each other, Liu Min smiled apologetically and said: "The previous camp planning was not thorough, and the Dushui members suffered a lot, I apologize to you Boshan for the people involved." You have also been in charge of the Taiwan government, you should know that the affairs are busy, especially at the time of the big reading, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the busy, please understand. ”

When Li Tai heard this, he sighed and said: "I don't know who is doing this, but since I asked Liu Langzhong to give a speech, it can be seen that although I am clumsy in public and capable in private, I can't get angry." Since Liu Langzhong has spoken, this matter will be revealed, and if I make another attack on this basis, it will damage the relationship between me and Liu Langzhong. ”

Although this is a bit crazy, it also gives Liu Min enough face. According to Li Tai's current momentum, he is qualified to say so.

Recalling this morning's big talk and Li Taishi's statement, Liu Min couldn't help but sigh secretly. Strictly speaking, Li Tai's resume in Taiwan is less than half a year, but his grace and power are not inferior to many old people in Taiwan, and even far exceed.

To be honest, even Liu Min was secretly jealous in his heart, not to mention Huang Fufan's old qualifications who followed Daxingtai as early as the Xiazhou period.

But I also have to admit that this young man is indeed outstanding, his own ability is already good, and he can keenly seize opportunities, and he can take the initiative to create opportunities if he has no opportunity, and it is no wonder that Daxingtai favors him.

Take the position of Dushui envoy as an example, as early as the early years of the Great Unification, Huangfu Fan once held this position, but he was useless in the position, so that after his appointment, the imperial court did not re-elect this position for several years, which really has no practical value.

Now that Li Tai has taken up his post, it is no wonder that this Huangfu Fan will have a harsh and critical attitude, originally thought that he could take advantage of the dereliction of duty of the Water Administration during the big review, but he didn't want Li Tai to return the merit in northern Shaanxi, and the favor was even more than before, which could be regarded as lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

Although Liu Min was not a lobbyist for Huangfu Fan, Li Tai said so, which also made him feel very comfortable.

After a few gossips with each other, Liu Min spoke again: "Boshan, you are ordered to supervise the township regiment, if there are any difficulties in armament, it doesn't hurt to speak out." The good weapon should be used by the brave, and the former Beizhou is strong, and I will also be honored to help others! ”

In addition to serving in the Taiwan government, Liu Min also worked as an arms dealer, and the benefits of salt and iron in Hedong made these heroes play flowers.

"Even if Liu Langzhong doesn't ask, I want to visit at another date. The equipment I used before has really benefited me a lot, and I deserve to be rewarded. Please tell the family, after the big reading, send the staff to the township, and end the matter before. ”

It is not difficult to borrow and repay, Li Tai is ready to allocate a part of the prisoners, cattle, horses, and livestock to pay off the previous arrears, and by the way, order bows and knives and equipment for about 1,000 people as the first investment in the expansion of the army.

There are really not many high-quality customers like Li Tai, and the military leaders at home and abroad either have their own weapons workshops and produce them for their own use, or they rely on their powerful positions to be fierce and scoundrels, and they do not pay back their debts.

Li Tai has a great demand, and he can keep his promise, and the transaction with him is reassuring, Liu Min hurriedly said that he will supply the equipment as soon as possible, even if he doesn't have time, he will send his cronies to supervise the matter.

"Could it be that Lieutenant General Liulang wants to be a foreign envoy?"

Li Tai heard him say this, so he asked casually.

Liu Min smiled and said: "Thanks to the Lord's appreciation, I was selected as an envoy to patrol the prefectures and counties to picket obscenity and prohibit evil laws, and I will set off in a few days." ”

After Li Tai heard this, he knew that Yu Wentai was going to attack the Buddhist temple, and Dayue had gathered so many people, of course, a large amount of materials were needed to maintain. It's a pity that Yuwentai didn't let himself get involved in this matter, so he could only miss this opportunity to make a big profit.

The temple is full of money and food, and everything it handles can naturally be wet with rain and dew, and Liu Min is also quite happy for his new envoy.

But seeing his diligent appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but be happy, he always had to pay back when he came out, it was nothing more than a knife sooner or later, you were afraid that you didn't know that the other black hand of Daxingtai was about to stretch out to your Hedong Salt Pond!
