When Yu Wentai heard this, his expression became even more joyful, and he pointed to Yu Jin, who was sitting at the bottom seat, and laughed: "The general thought that he had a plan and invited good help, but he didn't expect to cause a trouble, right?" This kid is skillful, don't take his words as a joke, if the wine and food are not served, the guests of my family will not leave easily! ”

After hearing this, Yu Jin also twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I know that Boshan is interesting and vulgar, so I invited to help." Things in the world, only affection is precious, clumsy mediocrity is fortunate, jealousy is inevitable, it is time to cover up the ugliness with kindness, in order to negotiate the feelings of the people, how dare you cherish things! ”

A pair of relatives complimented each other in the hall, and Li Tai, an outsider, looked a little embarrassed.

After a while, Yuwentai motioned for him to stand up, looked him up and down, and while motioning for him to sit down, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, my heroic spirit is renewed, I am a young man, and the flow of fearless years is really enviable." ”

Yu Jin sat aside, saw Daxingtai's undisguised appreciation of Li Tai, and his heart moved, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "Li Lang should be a child for several years, and his demeanor is even better, eye-catching and gratifying, and he must also be a young man in the household who has great hopes for his parents." But now it is still just a cocoon, is it arrogant and unwilling to give in, or is it old in Dongzhou that has become a marriage contract and does not want to bear people? ”

Li Tai didn't remember what the old marriage covenant was, and Li Zhusheng and other family members didn't mention it to him, and replied after hearing the words: "The old family was just frivolous and stubborn, and he was often reprimanded by his relatives for damaging his family's reputation. ”

After hearing this, Yu Jin smiled again: "In this case, then you have to wash your eyes and see the joy and ask bravely!" Being proud in the matter is just being alone, and yin and yang are happy. If the family is harmonious, the heart is happy, and if there is a virtuous woman in the household, there is no worries......"

"The general taught him this, but he was too worried. This kid looks like a vast person, restrained inside, because his scattered and lost family is still uncertain, so he swallows his affection. ”

Before Yu Jin's words were finished, Yu Wentai interrupted, his expression was a little unnatural, and after a little muttering, he said to Li Tai: "Don't think that the general's gossip disturbs, the male must get married and start a family, which is also the virtue of the elder." But since you have a heart, you don't have to succumb to the opinions of the group. Although the characters in Kansai are simple, there is no lack of Mingjian Yawang and the like, and it is not known when the time comes. ”

Yu Jin saw Daxingtai interrupting his words, and talked about his personal problems with Li Tai in such a straight way, and immediately realized that what he said was a bit redundant, and laughed dryly, hiding the embarrassment in his expression.

Li Tai is not a fool or anything like that, when he heard Yuwentai's words, he subconsciously thought of the words that Cai You said to himself on the way back after eating with Cai You at Yuwen's house last year.

At that time, he thought that Cai Youyan was greedy for himself, and felt a little inexplicable about some of his words, but now it seems that he feels that Cai Youyan is afraid that he will be wrong, and he is really greedy for someone else.

After hearing what Yu Wentai meant, Li Tai felt dark in his heart. There are no other messy measurements, but I am glad that you, a stinky black otter, have not been able to exempt Lao Tzu's charm, and you still plan to give me a bite of soft rice to eat.

…

But after this stealing joy, he was a little unhappy in his heart, what is the time to come? Lao Tzu has now grown tall and big, with both the motivation and the ability to make eucalyptus, and occasionally there is a more fiery demand, isn't this the time to come?

As for saying that he can't see his own son and is not in the mood to get married, this is just an excuse to reject others. He just lost it, not gone, he can't never marry for the rest of his life because of this, then it is even more unfilial.

But now these words are borrowed by Yu Wentai to restrain him, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

It means that he does not belong to the first sequence of marriage in Yuwentai's heart, you wait, my little cabbage has not grown up yet, and the next stubble, the next stubble may be your turn!

Although Li Tai does not regard his feelings and life events as solemn and precious, he is ready to sell them for a good price at any time, and it is not too late to engage in love when he becomes famous.

But when he realized that he was really being picked and weighed, and he was not in a hurry to start, he still felt that his self-esteem was more or less frustrated, Lao Tzu's love was betrayed, his soul was betrayed, why are you afraid of dirty your hands?

Don't shout "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi", when I have no temper, right?

Although he couldn't shout, Li Tai did have some thoughts of resistance and rebellion in his heart. Of course, he understood in his heart that it was normal for Yuwentai to have such thoughts out of consideration of pros and cons and the weighing of the situation.

But Lao Tzu is carrying a bowl and carrying a pot and is ready to come to your house to eat soft rice, is it to listen to your reasoning? What's more, you have so many daughters, there are still a few mouthfuls of food left when it's my turn!

Putting aside these distractions, what really made Li Tai feel a little sense of crisis was that Yu Wentai showed the desire to control his life in this matter. I can't marry anyone but your daughter, can I? If I can't get my turn, I'll have to fight all the time?

Although there is a lot of inner drama at this moment, Li Tai really feels the irresistible strength hidden by Yu Wentai under the appearance of getting closer and closer to him.

When it comes to his own interests and even his future and fate, Li Tai really can't substitute the kind of worker-slave ideas such as "It's not easy to be on the stage, the girls are still young, you can bear with it, and the good days are ahead".

Therefore, people still have to be self-reliant after all, counting on others to lift up, nepotism and charity, there is no need to think about abundant food and clothing, do you eat leftovers?

He cleaned up his mood a little, no longer cared about these miscellaneous thoughts, and when Yuwentai asked about the current situation of the operation of Sanfang City, he answered seriously.

When he heard that Li Tai had recruited thousands of men and horses to guard everywhere in just half a year, and the key was that he had not added the slightest burden of money and food to the overlord, Yu Wentai had a smile on his face, and then asked with a smile: "According to your opinion, if you add 20,000 horses to Dongxia Prefecture, it will still take a few years to operate?" ”

The 20,000 horses mentioned here cannot, of course, be the Zhuxiang regiment and Tuntian soldiers hastily recruited by Li Tai in Zhufang City, but an elite armed force like the Sixth Army of the Bafu.

Although the combat effectiveness of elite centaurs is considerable, the cost of raising an army is also large, not to mention the supplement of armor and staff, the diet consumption of horses alone is an extremely alarming number, and if it encounters high-intensity combat, the consumption will be doubled.

…

Yu Wentai asked this question, obviously because the situation has improved this year, and the increase in troops has been smooth, and he actually has some ideas of opening up a new front in northern Shaanxi and pointing at Jinyang from afar.

Li Tai shook his head after pondering for a while: "The Hu famine in Beizhou has not yet been eliminated, and the people's feelings are undecided, and once they are disturbed, they will definitely collapse." Last year, the high thieves and soldiers exterminated the Shi, Shilou and other realms Hu, Hu many fled to Hexi, hidden in the fields of Dongxia Prefecture, this winter or still restless, the ministers and the public Wu'an diligent preparation. After surviving this winter, the situation in the coming year is bound to improve, but in a short period of time, the state border may be a strange army, and it is still not possible to have a large army stationed and control Jinyang remotely. ”

After listening to this, Yu Wentai nodded thoughtfully, and there was not much disappointment between his eyebrows, but he looked at Li Tai again and sighed: "The thief is fierce, and he may not be able to end it in one life, but Er Cao Shaoliu does not suffer from no meritorious service." Boshan, although you are a backward in the current stream, you can be called the first in the small category, inheriting the past and opening up the future, and the responsibility is not shallow! ”

This is true, Li Tai's current prestige and power are certainly not as good as these Beizhen Fathers, but in this world, except for the dragon slaying team of the Yuwen family, there is really no rising star who can overpower him. However, when the next generation of characters grows up, the regime of the Yuwen family is not far from death.

A few people gossiped in the hall for a while, during which Yuwentai still did not take the initiative to talk about the arrears of wages in Fangcheng, but asked how much grain and silk materials the Metropolitan Water Administration could deliver to the Bafu this year, which shows that after the lavish expenses at the beginning of the year, the finances of the Bafu are a little stretched again.

After a series of rectifications in Luoshui, various water conservancy fortifications such as canals, weirs, and diaries have been gradually integrated, otherwise Li Tai would definitely not be able to support nearly 10,000 people in the city defense army by relying solely on the management of assets and materials in the countryside.

Li Tai made a little calculation in his heart, and gave an offer of 200,000 stones of grain and 50,000 horses of cloth, which can already be compared to the tax on money and grain for a whole year in a large county in Guannai.

He can still cover up the affairs of the Sanfang City, but the official document program of the Metropolitan Water Administration is clear and distinct, even if Li Tai uses the Qu Alliance to carry out a left-right exchange, the big accounts will not be able to be molded Lake.

After all, it has been more than a year since the examination law he proposed before has been implemented, and it is difficult to hide any big moves within this charter, so it is better to tell the truth.

This can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, but without the foreshadowing of these previous suggestions, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to find the current position.

When Yu Wentai heard this number, his eyebrows and eyes were also quite happy, and he made another request: "The grain and silk of the administrative department are all folded into grain cakes and supplied, and they will be supplied to Taiwan before winter." ”

"If it is all bread, I am afraid that it will not be consumed. This autumn can be seen that the end of the year must be cheap. The administration itself is insufficient, and all that is collected depends on the rent, and if it makes all the bread, it will still demand the power of the people. ”

The so-called private family is naturally Li Tai himself, but in a business-like attitude, this cost still has to be made clear. Our two families don't talk about the same thing, and you can pay whatever price others have.

Yu Wentai didn't care about these details, and after hearing this, he nodded and said, "However, this autumn, the Zhufang Gu Su is thick, and I have to dump some fine materials in case of trouble." All the water takes advantage of this water conservancy, should not be idle, Huazhou Zhutun this autumn harvest is also to make cakes, the cost of public and private burden. ”

Of course, he also knew that Li Tai was the largest supplier of military rations here, but even if all his assets and businesses were confiscated, he would always have to hand them over to others, and he would not have time to squat in the workshop every day to supervise the production of grain cakes.

It's not that he hasn't tried to do it on its own, but the cost is higher, and the efficiency is lower. simply handed over this matter to Li Tai, after all, this kid is not easy, and it can be regarded as a reward for his diligence.

But Li Taike doesn't see it that way, since last year's Xinwei, his family's military food orders have been endless, and he really doesn't want to deal with the small profit order of Taiwan.

Yuwentai is obviously occupying his productivity, so he can only take advantage of the situation to increase the price, increase the burden of raising the army of those military leaders, and make up for Lilan. After all, I have become a certified supplier of Bafu, and you will have to spend a little more money.

It's just that the productivity gap caused by the increase in demand by the overlord can't be filled by Guanzhong for a while, and it seems that it is necessary to add a Buddhist ritual activity of grinding flour and ramming cakes to those Jihu believers in Luochuan Temple.

He is not worried about the bad impact of this process flowing into Jihu, if you want to make military rations, you must first have so much food, and if you really want to leave the nest and live close to the farming area, Lao Tzu Sanfang City is not a decoration. If you don't take off your pants, you have to go out and don't wear them!
