Li Mu dismounted after a long distance, strode towards Li Tai, who was standing at the gate of the manor to greet him, with his hands clasped into fists and a happy face.

"Lang Jun, you are really pretentious, and it is difficult to find a trace! When I went to the administrative office, I was told that I had returned to the city, and I went into the city to visit Gao Taiwei, only to know that I was living in the countryside, and I finally caught up with him! ”

Before approaching, Li Mu expressed his attitude of visiting Li Tai in a complaining tone in the past two days.

After Li Tai heard this, he said with a smile: "These days are indeed a little busy and uncertain, if Wu Angong wants to meet, the envoy can go and tell him, why bother!" ”

"That's too rude, the doorman is clumsy, how can I thank you!"

Li Mu hurriedly shook his head and said, and then bowed to Li Taishen: "The Lord came forward to tell me, and I was surprised and ashamed. What I am happy about is not only that I have been given a heavy position, but also that Lang Jun regards me as a good friend and confidant who can work together! Before showing Lang Jun with shallow and frivolous, he often regretted ......"

"Wu Angong Angzang's husband, if you are still just clinging to the past, then I will regret the non-human recommendation! Preface: Helping each other and prospering together in the world, I often have self-warning, so when the Lord asks, even if I think of Wu Angong, my words are already very profound, and I will be able to be practical. ”

Li Tai saw that Li Mu wanted to bring up the old matter again, so he waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more, and turned around and invited him into the village.

"Alas, it's me who is narrow and stubborn, and I shouldn't dwell on the past anymore. But the gratitude is real, there is no evidence, and this will be shown in the future! ”

Li Mu hurriedly said again, and his gratitude to Li Tai was beyond words.

It's no wonder that he made this gesture, a state assassin has a high position and power, and it is not something that can be done if he wants to. Although Li Muzhi has a life-saving feeling for Yuwentai and is his absolute confidant, there is still a hurdle in terms of qualifications and ability if he wants to get out of the town, and it is difficult to say when this step will be passed.

Yizhou Assassin Shi is in charge of military politics and is known as Fang Bo, which is also a landmark resume of the Qiangchen general. Even if Li Mu enjoys great favor, if he does not have such a resume, there will not be much room for improvement in his career.

Although their family has three masters, the eldest brother Li Xian sits in the old nest of Yuanzhou, the second brother Li Yuanzhen guards the front line in western Henan, and Li Mu is a close military attache to the Taiwan government, and the internal and external positions are commendable, but the situation has also undergone some changes recently.

Not long ago, Daxingtai recalled Cai You, who was guarding the east, and transferred it to Yuanzhou Assassin History, replacing Li Xian. Although this is not a suppression of the Li family, it is also a faint indication that the Li family's foundation in Yuanzhou is too strong and needs to be balanced a little.

The Li family always has to respond to this slightly, and the best thing to do is undoubtedly to transfer some of the rural people out to show that there is no idea of separating Yuanzhou.

However, Yizhou, where Li Yuan was seated, was too far away from his hometown, and the powerful people in Yuzhou also had their own spheres of influence, so if there was no major war, it would inevitably lead to suspicion among the masses.

Li Mu was appointed as the assassin of Dongxia Prefecture at this time, which gave the township tribe an excellent place to resettle, neither had to entrench in the township to attract attention, nor did it have to go far away to send people elsewhere.

The Hu famine in Dongxia Prefecture is serious and there is almost no order, so it may still be a dangerous place for others, but the Li family is originally a big and powerful person in Yuanzhou, with many tribes, and the Gaoping Town where he lives is also a place where miscellaneous Hu people live, and he has rich experience in dealing with these Hu tribes.

Moreover, the local Jihu forces in Dongxia Prefecture suffered heavy losses one after another, and after Li Mu served as the assassin of Dongxia Prefecture, he could also transfer part of the Yuanzhou Hu Department to another place to open up new forces and spheres of influence in Beizhou.

In addition, Li Mu's appointment as Dongxia Prefecture was recommended by Li Tai, a member of the Li family in Longxi, and his overtures were full of goodwill, so it is no wonder that Li Mu was so excited.

After entering the village, Li Mu saw Li Tun and others who were still handing over and carrying ordnance with Li Taizhuang's people, and when he saw so many armor knives and weapons, Li Mu couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked: "Why are there so many armor knives on Lang Junzhuang?" ”

After Li Tai heard this, he said with a smile: "When Baishui was in the big parade before, the lord asked me to build three defense cities along Luoshui to accumulate troops to guard against thieves. The lonely Kaifu knew that I was weak, so he gave these horses and equipment to help with the business. ”

When Li Mu heard this, he immediately showed surprise, carefully looked at those excellent armor and horse weapons, and said with half envy and half suspicion: "Everything here is a gift from Dugu Kaifu?" I had heard the name of Dugu Kaifu's righteousness, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be so affectionate with Lang Jun......"

"It's also a love house and Wu, and I used to be favored by the late Heba Taishi, so the old love, Dugu Kaifu also gave me kindness. Although it is well deserved, it is indeed a poor use, so I also accept it with a cheeky face, be grateful, and repay it later! ”

Li Tai opened his mouth again, his gratitude was overflowing, and he gave Li Mu a flying eye from time to time, you can see how benevolent and generous people Dugu believe and give me such a great help. Don't talk nicely, but you don't pay lip service, I don't pick what I give!

After Li Mu heard this, he sighed twice, he had been in charge of the Sixth Army in Taiwan for a long time, and he had seen a lot of armor, horses, weapons, and staffs, but they were not his.

When he saw that Li Tai was a well-armed group of hundreds of people at one time, he was also envious and greedy in his heart, and he also realized that he came to the door empty-handed to thank him, which was indeed a little embarrassing.

But he was the youngest in the household, and he rarely asked about the family assets and was not in charge of much, so he didn't dare to make any promises lightly for a while, and only kept this matter in his heart secretly.

Li Tai originally wanted to leave Li Tun and others to drink and eat to entertain him, but when Li Tun saw that he had a visitor coming, he deduced that he would return to restore his life, so he led his troops to leave.

After receiving such a heavy gift, Li Tai couldn't say nothing, so he went into the warehouse and picked it up, got a few cars of self-produced goods in the village as gifts, and sent them to Dugu Xin's house.

After finishing all this, Li Tai returned to the middle hall to entertain Li Mu.

Li Mu felt a little embarrassed, and he was a little restless in the hall, and when he saw Li Tai entering, he hurriedly stood up, and pointed to the papers piled up on Li Tai's head without saying anything, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun is really diligent, even if he lives in Yiran, he doesn't forget to judge affairs, no wonder everything is excellent, and the leader is in the same stream!" ”

"It is the duty of the inferior to live up to the favor, and it is not worth boasting about."

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said, motioned for Li Mu to sit down, sat down himself, raised his hand to put away those papers, and said: "But the words on the paper of eucalyptus, Wu Angong misunderstood, and it is not related to any affairs. Changle Gong sent my son, I didn't dare to bear this entrustment, arranged my studies every day, and took a few glances at it while I was free today. ”

"That's ...... so"

Li Mu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but even though he showed a thoughtful expression, he asked again: "It turns out that Lang Junzhuang also gives lectures to juniors?" Famous people, well-known in the world, Changle Gongzi is here, it can be described as shrewd! ”

"Learning is intellectual, but if you can achieve these two, there is no need to learn the microscopic. I'm just a junior in the matter, I have a deep family knowledge, I haven't gotten one or two, I don't dare to call it a teacher, but there are good people who entrust me, and I should try my best to teach them well. ”

Li Tai replied casually, motioned to the doorman to put away some of Feng's test papers, and looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Since Duke Wu An has been appointed, when do you plan to go to the town?" ”

Li Mu put away his thoughts, and after a little silence, he replied: "I know that Dongxia Prefecture is not shallow, since I have been appointed, the sooner I go to the town, the better." However, the lord is still patrolling the river defense, and there are still some undecided deliveries in this matter, and before asking for instructions, I also want to ask Lang Jun what the situation is, and he should not go to the town until a month later. ”

When Li Tai heard this, he felt that he had not chosen the wrong partner, at least Li Mu would come to ask how to cooperate with him before taking office. If they were replaced by other more senior Beizhen military leaders, they might not care what they thought.

Li Tai recounted what he had seen and heard in northern Shaanxi, and said that the two troops of Beihua Prefecture and Xiazhou were still encircling and suppressing Jihu in Eastern Xia Prefecture. It's good that Li Mu arrives late for a while, so that there won't be any disputes between them.

Although everyone is working for the imperial court, these warriors dare to fight in front of the big stage even where the wine is good, and if there is a dispute involving specific interests, they may have to engage in a general who is outside and the monarch's order is not affected.

Li Tai's main task in the short term was to expand the armed forces of his subordinate township regiments, and by the way, to eliminate the bandits in the lower reaches of Luoshui, and before building Baishui, he did not have much time and energy to devote to Dongxia Prefecture.

However, since Li Mu came to ask, he had to delineate the terms of reference of each other, so he talked about his plan to build a canal between Luoshui and Kuli River.

The military and political power of Dongxia Prefecture naturally belongs to Li Mu, the legitimate assassin history, but this canal repair project does not need to be responsible for the assassination history office, and the corresponding channel management and the resulting benefits and returns naturally belong to the Metropolitan Water Administration.

Li Mu himself lacked experience in the ruling party, and he did not dwell on this issue, and when Li Tai brought it up, he nodded and agreed.

Kulichuan was originally the boundary river between Beihua Prefecture and Dongxia Prefecture, and if he wanted to intervene in direct management, he would inevitably have friction and conflict with some Hui in Beihua Prefecture in terms of authority, and having Li Tai as a buffer would also be a good thing for each other.

Once this aspect is finalized, there is nothing else that needs to be discussed in depth. The ruling foundation of Dongxia Prefecture is too poor, and most of the counties are overseas Chinese, and there are almost no residents.

Mao Shijian and others who remained in the fortress of King Hao Ren, Li Tai did not plan to bring them back for the time being, and when the construction of the canal was completed, he planned to place another defense city there.

With the Kuli River, he could extend his influence directly to the vicinity of the Yellow River, and perhaps have some friendly exchanges with the Luliangshan forces on the other side of the river. Even if you have the opportunity, cross the river and cross Luliang Mountain, go to the Jinyang City of the big brother He Liuhun for a turn, and sing the song "Eilechuan".
