With Yuwenhu's guidance, after a batch of materials from Beizhou came back, Li Tai ordered Li Zhusheng and other trusted family members to go to the nearby Fuzhou County to trade and purchase materials as capital for the acquisition of high-quality industries of the Metropolitan Water Administration.

He is not worried about whether his operation will infringe on the interests of the country for the sake of the law and the law of the latecomers, because the background of the current era is extremely special, and it is not easy to compare it with future generations.

First of all, in the Middle Ages, when productivity was still very low, land was the most important means of production, and land annexation was always the number one problem throughout the dynasty.

For those who are powerful and powerful, the first thing to do is to fight for land. Even if there is no Li Taijiao, they will do it, otherwise Kansai will not be full of local tyrants.

In this feudal background, the strengthening of any system can only alleviate the problem of land annexation to a certain extent, but cannot completely eradicate it. If we want to solve the problem of land annexation more completely and thoroughly, we can only hope for the development of productive forces, and it is difficult for any other means to achieve great results.

Secondly, the current Western Wei court is not a normal state of power, and Li Tai is nominally an official of the imperial court, but in fact he only needs to be responsible to the overlord.

As long as it can help the overlord raise enough money, food, and materials for the overlord's expenses, any means are worth trying, and there is no need to delve into it.

If it was normal dynastic politics, the divisions would have checked and balanced each other, and the upper and lower levels would be in order. If he dares to do this, at least Shangshu Province will not be able to pass that level, and he will be constantly criticized by the officials.

But now, as long as you can get money for Daxingtai, you are a capable minister. For Yu Wentai, the survival and development of the regime is the number one issue, and he will not scrutinize the private pockets of his subordinates.

Of course, when the living environment of the regime stabilizes in the coming year, there will be a wave of purges, and I will have to spit out whatever I take. Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was in Yecheng, isn't that what he did, and he Lao Tzu had a red face and a white face, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Therefore, what Li Tai has to do now is to seize the opportunity to strengthen himself as much as possible, and strive to have the strength of "you want my money, I want your life" when the day comes, and there is no need to be too demanding of himself in terms of morality and means.

Anyway, no matter how loyal he is to the monarch and the country, and the duke is selfless, it is impossible for the Yuwen family to give up the world. Try all kinds of ways, accumulate experience, and when you take the position in the next year, you can also block these sassy operation spaces in a more comprehensive way.

At the beginning, the subordinates of the administration were a little emotionally unacceptable, but with the completion of the first transaction, they saw a large number of materials entering the warehouse, and they all looked at it.

In the final analysis, people still have to focus on the present, and only when the current situation can be stabilized will there be greater room for development.

The form of confrontation between the two Wei Dynasty has always been that the east is strong and the west is weak, especially after the Battle of Bishan, no one dares to say lightly that the Western Dynasty will be able to defeat the Eastern Dynasty in the future, and maybe one day the Eastern Dynasty army will have to drink Malo water again.

Li Tai is willing to invest heavily to buy out the long-term benefits of the aquaculture industry in the next few years, and it can even be said that he is a loyal move. There is no shortage of people in Kansai who have more capital than him, but there are not many who are willing to invest so much. Others are afraid that I will increase my position, and it is simply unreasonable for him to make a lot of money.

Of course, he can't openly come forward to buy and sell the industry, after all, he has to avoid suspicion a little, and use the medium of Qumeng to integrate more nostalgia and rural conditions around him.

With this kind of operation that is very profitable in the short term, it is no longer a problem to meet the needs of Dayue offerings. After the first few days of busy inventory, the atmosphere in the office has gradually returned to normal, and the subordinates are also in the mood to enjoy life after work.

On this day, Cui Yansheng mysteriously came to Li Tai and invited him to Duguxin Manor on Shangyuan as a guest.

When Li Tai received this invitation, he couldn't help but think a lot in his heart.

The last time he went to visit Dugu Xin, Dugu Xin had already hinted a lot, and then he made a nonsensical request to ask for ten tiger skins, but the tiger skins were not cloth after all, and his family had not visited enough so far, and he was busy with the affairs of the department, so he never visited again.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, Duguxin has to go to Longlong after calculating the time. After all, the situation on Longyou's side is not stable, and you can't drink a happy drink for half a year.

Although Cui Yansheng sent the invitation in his private name, since the location was chosen in Duguxin Manor, it must also be Duguxin's income. Probably I want to reveal the meaning more directly before leaving, and even make some agreements directly.

However, Duguxin, this guy is arrogant and hypocritical, and he can't hold it anymore, but he still has to hold his posture and ask his wife and family to come forward to invite, which is really a bit funny.

People always have to pay attention to the scale, the most important thing is to see through and not say it, thinking that the future may have to get along for a long time, Li Tai is also quite considerate to take care of Dugu Xin's self-esteem, and only told Cui Yansheng that he will go to the appointment on time.

At present, the affairs of the subordinate department are basically just waiting for the money, food and materials to be in place, and there is no need for Li Tai to watch here every day, so the day before the appointment, he returned to Shangyuan Village to make some preparations.

Dugu Xin, this guy has good manners, and he is also a dog. Li Tai is also very confident in his appearance, but it does not prevent him from refining again, at least he has to show that he attaches great importance to this matter.

So when he returned home, he also took out all his robes and tried them on one by one to see which one was the most handsome and decent.

A few Feng and Li Ya, who came back from school in the evening, saw Li Tai's unbearable appearance and tried on his robes frequently, and they were naturally very curious, and when they learned that Li Tai was going to Dugu Xinzhuang as a guest, they were also very excited, and stood aside to give Li Tai advice.

A few Feng is very good at his own aesthetics, looking at Li Tai's moon-white robe and shaking his head again and again: "Brother, you have been messing around in Beizhou for half a year, and it is not as white as in previous years, and the colored robe is really not bright, or the red robe is the best!" ”

Hearing this kid kindly recommend his favorite shade, Li Tai just sneered, what is the aesthetic of your red-skinned shrimp?

But he still turned out a big red hakama and put it on his body, turned to Li Ya and asked, "Is this body more impressive than just now?" ”

Li Ya nodded again and again: "When is the owner of the village unobservable?" How is it not impressive? Whoever said it wasn't beautiful, I'll beat him to death! ”

Li Tai was even more speechless when he heard this, raised his hand to drive the two boys out of the door, and closed the door again to clean up.

Not to mention that Li Tai is excited here, Duguxin's house in Huazhou City is also busy.

After Duguxin's wife Cui Shi coaxed the baby girl to sleep, she walked into the inner hall and saluted her father Cui Yanzhen and uncle Cui Yanmu, who had been waiting for a while, before smiling again: "Now that the family has settled in Kansai, it is time to carefully consider the marriage of their children." Although I am already a bride from another family, I should also worry about my younger siblings in the old household. The third lady is in her early thirteenth year old and will be fourteen, right? It's really time to hire them. ”

After hearing this, Cui Yanmu smiled and nodded: "The lady has a heart, and this is indeed the case." In fact, in the past two years, there have been times when homeless families have come to visit, but although the little girl is not a treasure, she is also a well-raised woman in the household after all. Kansai characters are not as prosperous as Dongzhou, but it is difficult to get the heart. It's rare to have a good choice, everyone is arguing, and I am not far behind, so I came to ask the lady to come forward to help a little. ”

"Although I don't often go out to socialize, I have heard a lot of Li Boshan's reputation and order. He came to visit him several times, and although he was not seen, his husband did not hesitate to praise him. I think it should be a young handsome talent with a real name, if you can invite a beautiful thing, it is indeed a great joy in the door. ”

Cui Shi also bowed his head and said, and then sighed regretfully: "Uncle, since you have this intention, you should have informed it in advance." A few days ago, this member also came to visit the house, and the husband and master talked very happily. Unfortunately, the husband and the lord are increasingly seeing the big platform of farewell, but now he is not in the house. After all, I'm just a woman, and although I can sit at the table, it's not good to ask questions about it. ”

After Cui Yanmu heard this, he sighed and said: "I was also mistaken by Zheng Xiaomu, he had intended to marry the Li family but was rejected by Li Boshan, only saying that this son is a young man with ambition and full of spirit, I am afraid it is not easy to be friendly." Although I was a little interested in moving before, I was still a little hesitant. But I heard that Zheng Xiaomu was still visiting endlessly, so it can be seen that the foreword deceived me. I really don't want to miss the good fate, whether it is successful or not, and give it a try. ”

The family discussed the details of the blind date in the village tomorrow, and the brothers got up to say goodbye, and agreed to go to the township early tomorrow morning to prepare.

Cui Shi is also quite concerned about his mother's family affairs, and after sending off his relatives, he immediately went to the township manor with his family to clean up, and by the way, he summoned a few domestic slaves who had served in the hall when Li Tai came to visit, and carefully asked about the young man's character.

"Yes, Miaoyin, when she succeeded Master Heba, she also lived in Li Bo Villa for many days, so I think she should be familiar with it."

As soon as he thought of this, Cui Shi hurriedly ordered: "Go to the neighbor's house and invite the lady back!" ”

Not long after, the little lady was introduced by her family, although she only wore a plain skirt, but because she was in a good mood, she looked radiant, pretty and cute.

"What is the matter with my mother's summoning of me?"

After entering the hall and sitting down, Miaoyin asked with a smile.

Cui Shi also smiled and said: "A few days ago, you also said that since you have been out of filial piety, the lady's life can also be lifted a little, don't always live in the inner hall and be sad and ruined." It just so happens that my mother's family needs to go to the village village to handle it, are you willing to go with me? ”

"You want to go to the township, which village? Is it Shangyuan Li Boshan's house in the east of Nazhuang? I do! ”

When Miaoyin heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and nodded again and again.

Cui Shi saw that she looked impatient, and only felt that this lady had lived in seclusion for so long, and she was really stuffy, so she smiled and advised: "It's okay to go, but remember not to indulge your words and deeds." After all, you are still in the courtesy, and although your family is considerate, you still have to avoid outsiders from knowing. Indeed, I have something to ask you, so I have the courage to indulge it once. Then Li Boshan, you are familiar with it, right? ”

When Miaoyin Lady heard this question, she was both happy and ashamed, bowed her head and said, "Where is it familiar? This person is so bad that he doesn't come ......."

"Don't talk about people's strengths and weaknesses behind your back, maybe you will still be relatives who have been in contact with each other indoors for a long time in the future!"

When the little lady heard her stepmother's words, she was even more ashamed, but the next sentence made her fall into an ice cave: "This time when you enter the countryside, you have to watch people and talk about things." If it goes well, see you next year, and you will call him an uncle! ”
