After receiving a message from Taiwan, Li Taidang ended his marriage leave and returned to the city as soon as possible.

When he returned to Taifu, he noticed that the atmosphere was much more solemn than before, and the most obvious thing was that the number of Zhisu guards in Taifu had more than doubled compared to before.

The guards in the Taiwan government came from the Chinese army, and of course included the rear army military government led by Li Tai. The Fourth Military Mansion of the Chinese Army has to supply three to five thousand soldiers to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army every period, and then the arrangements for the guards of these soldiers are arranged by Daxingtai through the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Although Li Tai was not in the military government during this time because he was married, the daily affairs of the military government were also reported in time.

Now that it has just entered April, there is still a month before the next change of guards, and the military governments have not sent new Chinese army officers and soldiers to the Taiwan government, so these additional guards can only be originally distributed everywhere and now concentrated in the Taiwan government.

From this point, it can be seen that in the current situation of confrontation between the east and the west, the Western Wei Dynasty is actually still in a strategic passive situation.

During this period of time, there were no new changes in the situation in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Daxing Taiyu Wentai did not put forward new ideas and plans for a series of issues such as whether to interfere in the Henan chaos and how to interfere, but just because of a military action on the Eastern Wei side, the military affairs of the Huazhou hegemony, as the core of the regime, were adjusted to a very large extent.

However, even a general like Li Tai, who is already at the core, does not know where this adjustment is pointing and what the significance is, which shows that the Western Wei regime still does not have a clear understanding of the opportunities represented by the current chaos in Henan, and is still in a state of dazed stress and intracranial orgasm, but in fact it is still confused.

Of course, it is no wonder that Yuwentai and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Western Wei Dynasty, after all, even Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty must still be buzzing with melon seeds, and he is at a loss in the face of internal worries and external worries.

When Li Tai returned to Taiwan, it was just as Daxingtai convened important subordinate officials in the government to discuss internal affairs, and Li Bi, several Hui and other Chinese and foreign military governors and generals were still waiting in the outer hall.

When he walked in to greet a few people, Li Bi apologized to him for not being able to go to Chang'an in person to congratulate him on his wedding, and said that he would visit his new residence in the city later.

Several other people also joked with a relaxed demeanor about Li Tai, who had returned from the newly married, without the slightest sense of urgency that the war was coming, but this kind of atmosphere of tightening on the outside and loosening on the inside could be regarded as a warm-up in advance for the next change in the situation.

Before Li Tai could sit down here, the subordinate prince of the Taifu hurriedly entered the room and looked at him and said, "The lord has ordered him to enter the palace as soon as he returns to the mansion. ”

Hearing this, Li Tai no longer looked for a seat, and bowed his hand to a few people here, and then walked out with the prince and went to the straight hall.

"Although this Xihe Gong is a descendant, he is talented and concurrently in the military and political, and in another twenty years, I am afraid that our generals will have to listen to his punishment!"

Looking at the back of Li Tai leaving, Da Xiwu, who was sitting in the room, sighed.

At present, what is going on in the middle of the hall is the political affairs meeting of the Taiwan government, and although these veterans have made outstanding achievements, they are also isolated, including Li Bi, the big leader of the Chinese army.

The generals of the army only attended the meeting with the history of the governor of Taiwan and the history of the assassination of Huazhou, and in addition to that, Li Tai was also the secretary of the Taishang Shoshu, and now the decree of the Taiwan government to raise material reserves in Zhuzhou County is mainly in charge of him.

Da Xiwu said this not to express any dissatisfaction and provoke the contradiction between the old man and the newcomer, he blackmailed Li Tai a new time, and the income was quite rich, and he was very willing to get close to this rich brother, so it was just a simple emotion.

But the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Da Xiwu's emotion still made the expressions of several people in the room change slightly, perhaps they are already imagining the picture under the order in their hearts, and they are more or less uncomfortable.

In the other seat, some Hui said with a smile: "Isn't it good that those who can work hard?" Ah Liubarong is not refined, and it is not unbrave to be on the front line for a long time, but after following Jinyang and his party, he can be regarded as an official and noble.

But Deboshan is such a talented person to work together, why bother with the punishment up and down, he is a capable person who works hard and does nothing, and I can make meritorious deeds by focusing on attacking and killing. If he is under the disgrace of the young class, and enters the house to disturb his father-in-law, he is summoned to the seat, and this disciple must also serve wine and food at the next table! ”

Ah Liuba is Han Guo, after chasing Li Tai to attack Jinyang, he was also awarded the honor of hussar, Kaifu and county prince a year ago. He used to enter the pass from Hebayue to quell the rebellion, and then turned to serve in Daxingtai, and participated in all the battles in the east and west and performed well, but he still entered the sequence of senior generals of the Western Dynasty by working with Li Tai in this battle.

The vivid example is the most convincing, although the generals present do not need Li Tai to help them, but they also have to admit that working with a person like Li Tai, who is all quite outstanding in military and political talent, is at least much more reassuring than working with mediocre people and timidity.

As for the issue of official positions, it is true that as some Hui said, no matter how prominent Li Boshan's official position is, but because of the Hanoi Gongdugu Xin, they are all juniors in front of them.

Not to mention the dialogue here, when Li Taixing entered the straight hall, the meeting was also going on for a while, and there were thick books stacked on everyone's cases.

When Yu Wentai saw Li Tai entering, he waved his hand to signal that he did not need to be polite, and pointed to his seat, signaling to hurry up and prepare for the performance.

The key is to strengthen its own strength, especially the most basic money and grain reserves, which is also the most important work content of the overlord's administration since this year.

Especially since Hou Jing's surrender, Yuwentai has been like an old man who is a new coquettish concubine, and he pours all kinds of tonic into his stomach, as long as it is a subordinate project that can make money, it will be implemented immediately.

At present, it is a special campaign presided over by Lieutenant Yushi, that is, to strictly investigate the activities of digging caves and statues in various states within the territory and check whether they are illegal.

As we all know, digging caves and building statues is a popular Buddhist worship activity among the people, and because of its huge consumption of manpower and material resources, all the people who can do it are the local powerful clans.

However, this activity is called Buddha worship, but in fact it is the creation and maintenance of local order, which is naturally accompanied by the phenomenon of bullying the weak and oppressing the poor. Especially those Shamen evil monks rely on their religious status, and even the local tyrants have to endure their exploitation and oppression, not to mention ordinary people.

Li Tai had previously used Liu Shifo as the reason to enter the Daxingtai and build a Buddhist temple in the territory, which can be said to be the coolest time since Yuwentai ruled Guanxi, and now the successful reorganization of the Chinese army in the hegemony has benefited from this action to a large extent.

After eating a good meal, people will inevitably have an aftertaste, and the hungrier they are, the more they miss it.

Although Yu Wentai also knew that Shamen's money was not easy to move, he couldn't bear poverty, and the success of the previous operation made him realize that as long as there was a legitimate and suitable reason, even if Shamen was moved, the turmoil caused by the entire society would be limited and controllable.

So this time, he naturally re-aimed his gaze at Shamen, and made a direct move to the cave statue that has a high degree of overlap and conflict in the use of manpower and material resources in the whole armament war, and wanted to put a layer of supervision on this matter.

Of course, it is not appropriate to directly prohibit this kind of thing or make it illegal to unify it, and the current work content is to inspect the origins and officials of the owners of those caves and monuments, etc., if there are puppet officials appointed by the rebel regime such as Wan Qian Chounu, then the relevant temples and villagers will be severely punished.

In today's world, in the atmosphere of worshipping Buddha, for believers, digging caves and statues is definitely a matter of glory to their ancestors and worthy of boasting of their hometown, so if their family members have any social honors, they will try their best to list them for the time and future generations to come to pay respects.

So many years have passed since a series of rebellions in Kansai, and the Taiwan government has brought up this old case again, which is undoubtedly a hooliganism, but it is indeed a small group of targets from the masses.

You say it's bad that you have money to eat and drink? You dug a cave and built a statue here to show off your wealth, but you were remembered by the thief, who does this depend on?

In short, through this policy, the Taiwan government first established the legitimacy of such acts, and then expanded the scope little by little, so that it could not only directly obtain the income from the investigation and punishment of stolen goods, but also slightly curb the trend of digging caves and statues among the people, and the saved manpower and material resources would flow back into society and be invested in other things of practical value.

It's just that this initial goal was set too tricky, and because of its age, it has not yet made considerable gains.

Next, there are several divisions taking turns to play things, all of which are related to making money, and the methods are all varied, in general, there are some effects, but the effect is not much, some are long-term work, and the short-term convergence effect is not large.

Soon it was Li Tai's turn to report, and Li Tai also took this time to browse and memorize the data collected by his subordinates. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after all, he has two accounts, one in Taiwan and one at home, these two books are slightly compared, and he knows where there are ghosts.

"The ministers have recently inspected the rent-seeking matters of various properties such as the mountains and mountains of the prefectures and counties, the official construction of animal husbandry and metallurgy, Yongzhou, Huazhou, and Beiyong...... In 17 prefectures, 326 official properties of various types were paid for by villagers, and the necessary money, grain, and materials were also received one after another, and from now until mid-May, the prefectures and counties were able to transport more than 3.2 million stones of goods and grain into Fuzhong......"

Li Tai had already been familiar with all the data by heart, and now he got up and played it in detail.

However, when he said this, Yu Wentai, who was sitting at the table and listening carefully, stood up sharply and said in a surprised tone: "How much? Is it more than 3 million stones? ”

Listening to Yuwentai's questioning tone, Li Taiben was not so sure of his self-determination, and hurriedly lowered his head to browse the data again, and then raised his head and replied: "It is more than three million stones, but the distance between the states and the distance of the water, land and water are not the same, and the final income is still subject to storage, but the total amount should not be less than three million stones." ”

"Well, that's great! With such a huge amount of goods entering the house, no matter how everything is planned in the future, it will be free from the limitation of grain! ”

After getting this definite answer, Yuwentai slammed his fist on the case again, and his excitement was overflowing, more than 3 million stone resources and grain are also a considerable amount of income for the current overlord, especially at the moment when there will be big things available in Henan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration. With such an unexpected income, no matter what planning is made for the situation in Henan, it will be much calmer.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Tai again and laughed: "Boshan was still married at home before, but he did not abandon his duties because of family affairs, and did his best to raise such a heavy amount of money for the Taiwan government!" But so that everyone can be like this, why worry about the huge and unified! ”

As soon as these words came out, the subordinates of the Taiwan government in the hall were certainly envious of the praise Li Tai received, but the expressions of those who performed before were more or less uncomfortable, whether it was the comparison of each other's performance or the attitude of Daxingtai, it seemed to show that it was superfluous for them to stay here.

After hearing this compliment, Li Tai hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister set up this time, and he didn't expect that there would be such an effect in a short period of time. Although the matter is in the subordinate of the ministers, but the officials of the prefectures and counties near the people are also indispensable, if there is no such people to spare no effort to promote it to the people, the people do not know this.

More than 300,000 stone grains, behind the particles are the hearts of the people of Shangyi, the Lord declares the rule of the country, and the officials of the prefectures and counties educate the territory, so that there is a grand occasion of today's harmony between the government and the people and the great plan together. The ministers took advantage of this, and did not dare to be so praised by the lord alone. ”

He is not afraid of what wood shows in the forest and the wind will destroy it, but the key matter itself is not as simple as it seems, the official property sold by the state and county and the goods collected by the overlord are basically in his hands.

The current situation is very happy, but if Yuwentai blames other officials for their incompetence and provokes those officials who have been punished to review it, I am afraid that something will be exposed. Therefore, it is good for Li Tai to get benefits, and the honor still has to be shared with everyone.

Because of the huge goods in the warehouse, Yu Wentai was in a good mood, and Li Tai's comments and praises on politics and people's hearts were even more in his heart, and he immediately smiled more and more, and said in the court: "This statement is indeed pertinent and decent, because the state has good governance, up and down and appropriate, so the state has abundant reserves and rich in the people, and now the country is in need, and the eight directions are lost, which is really good!" When I enter the court at the end of the year, I will ask Your Majesty to reward good governance, and reward those who are engaged in internal and external affairs! ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all opened their mouths to echo, and Yu Wentai, who was beating all kinds of rainbow farts, was even more cheerful and almost lost himself, but Li Tai smiled on his lips, but he was quite emotional in his heart.

If it is true that all this money and grain were collected from the people, it really shows that the people of Guanxi are indeed full of confidence in the politics and national fortunes of the Western Wei Dynasty. But the problem is that most of this comes from Li Tai's own granary.

Last year, he began to absorb grain throughout Guanzhong, and at its strongest, he accumulated more than 8 million stone of grain, although the consumption and circulation of the goods were reduced a lot, but now the import of grain into Taiwan is still less than half of what he owns.

He really wants to take the opportunity to sell more to Taiwan, but there are so many high-quality assets in the Guannai states, and if he wants to put them all into his pocket, the financial situation of the subsequent states and counties will continue to be sluggish, which naturally does not conform to the principle of common development, especially the famous ferocity of the Western Wei Dynasty, so it is still necessary to stop in moderation, and everyone must have a soup to drink when I eat meat.

As for the remaining millions of stone grain, they are not worried about the sales market.

Food is the cornerstone of social stability, and the survival of the people is critical, although Guanzhong is still a big nut in the next few years, but the next Hou Jing Rebellion will stir up unrest in the world, and the accumulation of grain and preparation for chaos will also be a mainstream trend of thought, Li Tai wants to master so much food, then money can't buy it.

Yu Wentai naturally didn't know that there was such a rich man as Li Tai who took care of him secretly, or although he knew that Li Tai had quite a lot of assets, he never imagined that Li Tai would be able to master so many resources in just a few years. Therefore, he is also very happy that the implementation of this policy has been so successful.

With such a huge amount of money, he was naturally impatient to listen to the achievements of the other subordinates, and even if he stopped this internal affairs meeting, retired all the subordinates of the Taiwan government, and summoned several generals who had been waiting here early in the morning, Li Tai, the governor of the rear army, was of course among them.

Several generals strode into the hall, and when they raised their eyes, they saw that Daxingtai was full of smiles and good complexions, and they knew that the mood must be very good, but the only thing was that the eyes that looked at Li Boshan were sticky and intimate, and they were afraid that they would think that Li Boshan had married his daughter before.

Next, Yu Wentai exerted his wealth to the extreme, and threw a bombshell as soon as the generals sat down, ordering the four prefectures of the Chinese army in the Bafu to be on standby in the camp except for those who participated in the river defense within ten years from now on.

As soon as these words came out, not only the generals were shocked, but even Li Tai, the boss of the top boss of the overlord list, was surprised: What are you trying to do!

The number of registered soldiers in the four prefectures under the Chinese army is basically between 20,000 and 30,000, but most of the time the battalion will not be full, and it will basically only maintain a quarter to a third of the scale, and the rest is a part of the river defense, and then a part of the city to recuperate.

This is not only for the combination of work and rest, but also to reduce the pressure of raising the army, if the soldiers are not in the camp, the overlord does not need to provide food and drink in full, or half, or simply not to give it. After all, only when you know that you are hungry and know where to eat, will you be obedient and obey orders.

However, now Daxingtai wants to gather all the Chinese troops in the battalion except for the river defense soldiers, which is as many as 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, and if the supporting civilian service force is added, the number will undoubtedly be even larger. With so many people gathered together, not to mention any large-scale military operations, the consumption of a single person eating horses and chewing for a day is already very staggering.

The three million stone materials and grain have not yet been put into storage, Yuwentai looks like he can't help but want to make a big incident, this guy is already poor and horizontal, at this time the poor are rich, and the old opponent Gao Huan has already finished singing the song of Eile, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is going to die!

Just when Li Tai, the eldest brother on the list, secretly thought in his heart that it was too late to run away with a bucket, Yu Wentai really lived up to expectations and put forward his next goal, that is, Heyang City, an important garrison town set up by the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Hanoi!

After hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but gasp, this special three million stone grain smashed into it, the matter seems to be completely smashed, Henan can't open Yuwentai, this guy actually wants to make a happy city for himself after watching the curtain call performance of the old enemy!
