After chatting with his mother and greeting several sisters-in-law in the hall one by one, Li Tai got up and returned to the middle hall of the mansion.

The family members in the middle hall were eating and chatting, and when they saw Li Tai turn back, they all raised their hands to beckon him to take a seat quickly, laughing and joking to let him punish himself with three cups.

Li Tai's grandfather, Li Qian, originally had four sons, but the other three sons died in the Heyin Rebellion, leaving only one young son, Li Xiao, who led the surviving family to flee to Hebei.

Therefore, in addition to his two younger brothers, Li Tai also has five cousins, namely Li Pei and Li Pi, cousins of the eldest uncle's family, Li Lian of the second uncle's family, and Li Shiyuan and Li Shicao of the third uncle's family.

The oldest of them is Li Pei, who is now in his early forties, and the youngest Li Shicao is nearly thirty years old. Li Tai has a big age gap with these cousins, and when he was in the township, he still had a few nephews of similar age who were the most, and their relationship was also closer.

However, after a few years of separation from each other, Li Tai's identity and status have changed significantly when they meet again, and there is a soul from the afterlife in his body, and they inevitably feel a little strange with each other.

His father Li Xiao is not a person who is good at communicating and guiding the atmosphere, so after Li Tai sat down and chatted briefly with his cousins, they couldn't find a common topic, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little cold.

After a while, Li Tai took the lead in asking about the ministry arrangements of several cousins in Taiwan, whether they could adapt to the office rhythm and environment of Taiwan, and so on. Although he also knew about his cousins' positions in Taiwan early on, didn't he have nothing to say, so he took it out and talked about it again to maintain the atmosphere.

Among them, the highest official position is Li Bao, who was directly appointed by Yuwentai as the Daxing Taishang Book and the East Pavilion Sacrificial Wine, in charge of the guests, etiquette and other matters of the Taifu.

As early as when Li Xiao arrived in Guanzhong, Yuwentai intended to appoint him as the Xige sacrificial wine, but was politely rejected by the father and son, and now this position is reduced by half a rank and awarded to Li Pei, which can be regarded as the obsession of letting the Li family in Longxi serve as the welcome of the Taiwan government has been realized.

Several other people have also been assigned various positions such as joining and joining the army, although they are not important to participate in the secrets, but their positions are also quite useful. It can be seen that Yuwentai did not just look at Li Tai's face and summoned a few people to the Taiwan government to raise them, but a more pragmatic attitude towards selecting and employing people.

These cousins are not Li Tai, who is active and tired of learning since he was a child, and likes to cause trouble, each of them is above the passing line, plus because of the changes in the family, they have washed away the impetuousness and frivolity that the children of the family usually have, even if they are not peerless talents, it should be more than enough to undertake some normal administrative management and the implementation of government decrees.

Li Tai was already very familiar with the working procedures and environment of the Taiwan government, and when he heard his cousins' respective stories, he could feel that their adaptability to the current work was quite good.

This is of course because of their ability, but it is also related to the fact that the people in Taiwan know that they are Li Tai's relatives and take care of them.

However, not everything is impeccable, after all, the Eastern Wei and Western Wei are very different. Speaking of this, Li Pei, who also had a lot of experience in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, had more right to speak: "Although the decrees of the Western Dynasty are clear, they are not simple, especially the complicated official skills, which will inevitably make the officials and the people tired. Promoting the name of the criminal but not the special character, perhaps this is the key to the Western Dynasty being able to contend with the Eastern Dynasty with the poor and weak. ”

Although the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty were both hegemonic politics, they were very different from each other. When the two Wei Dynasty separated, most of the Heluo celebrities and Kwantung clans returned to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and these people may not be all the progressive forces of society, but there is one thing that the Kansai characters cannot compare, that is, the understanding and understanding of politics should be more profound and mature.

Even Su Sui, who is known as a famous minister and one of the founders of political logic in the Sui and Tang dynasties, does not have a high level of understanding and construction of the political system. As for the others, it was even more to wait, so in the end, a nondescript Northern Saturday official system of the Western Wei Dynasty was created.

On the other hand, the system makers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty can be said to have summarized the political gains and losses of the previous dynasties, took their essence and eliminated their dross, and the system created can be said to be the predecessor and framework of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although the politics of the Western Wei Dynasty were generally so-so, the management of personnel resources and the execution of government decrees at the middle and lower levels were difficult for the Eastern Wei Dynasty to match. After all, as a weak party, if the control and mobilization ability of its own personnel resources cannot reach a very high level, the real strength reflected will only be worse.

Li Pei's evaluation of the Western Wei Dynasty's complicated skills and exhaustion of the officials and the people is actually a more polite statement, more accurately it should be harsh, harsh to the people, and equally harsh to the officials.

Hearing Li Li say this, another handsome man among the cousins, Wei Shu's nephew Li Lian said again: "What the fifth brother said is too right, so he took the test law of the Taiwan government as a theory, and drove the officials and officials and people to not dare to be idle. It's not that I'm not the only one who likes to work hard, but the people in the company are all miserable and complaining about it. ”

Li Tai was originally about to express his opinion as a person who came over, but after hearing Li Lian say this, his expression became a little uncomfortable, and he said with a little weakness: "The test has been running for several years, and all the departments of the Taiwan government, including Daxingtai, have praised this law for convenience. ”

"Ah Pan, don't worry, we are not ignorant teenagers. Knowing that you are strong in the country, the words and deeds of relatives and friends in the door will inevitably be noticed by the masses. It is also impure for people who can use this method to harm the people to enter the Taiwan Mansion, even if you are not afraid of it, there is no need to gossip and complain. ”

After hearing this, Li Lian nodded and said, looking clear about this kind of personnel dispute.

After Li Tai heard this, he laughed dryly twice, and no longer continued the topic, but in his heart, he wrote Li Quan in a small notebook, and when our family is really awesome in the future, you will see what kind of king I will give you!

As the conversation continued, the sense of alienation between the family gradually disappeared, especially the nephews who had long regarded Li Tai as their idol, and felt more kind and cordial to this uncle, who already had many fond childhood memories with each other.

The young brother Leo had not yet entered the office, and he was not allowed to drink by his father, so he was bored sitting in the banquet, so he seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked: "Brother, you have returned from the south, have you seen that Hou Jing?" Is he really as rumored, the green-faced fangs and centaurs will be afraid to retreat when they see it? ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, people would exaggerate the description of the people they didn't understand and don't know, and in the process of disseminating it, they became more and more out of shape, and in the end, the rumors were more than the facts.

"Hou Jing is not a terrible ghost, he is more dignified than the ordinary rough townspeople. The reason why he was able to win more with less and crisscross the south of the Yangtze River is that his own talent is not bad, but it is also because the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Liang are really unbearable......"

Li Tai, as the uncle of the big town in charge of the military and political power, himself had dealt with Hou Jing and many high-ranking civil and military officials in Nanliang, and his understanding and opinions were naturally more reliable and accurate than hearsay.

When they heard Li Tai talk about his views and analysis of the current situation and personnel, everyone in the hall put down their cups and spoons one after another, listened carefully, and asked questions from time to time.

Men are innate in their curiosity about the fate of the country and the general situation of the military and politics, and the old men on the streets and alleys of later generations can analyze the global situation with a fan in their hands, and can make simple and correct nonsense-like summaries, such as the Son of Heaven who is strong and strong.

Li Tai also knew that his family members were not necessarily interested in the specific situation of the evolution of the military and political situation in the southeast, so he only selected some exaggerated and bizarre people and events that could satisfy people's curiosity to tell a little, which also made these cousins and nephews in the hall listen to the great excitement and unfinished.

However, because Li Tai had just returned home from a long journey, the family did not drink and have fun at night, and after saying goodbye to each other and satisfying their curiosity, the family banquet ended, and everyone went to their rooms to rest.

Li Tai returned to the room after the tiredness surged, no spirit to talk to the lady warmly, after the couch fell asleep, the next day to open the eyes is already three poles of the day, the lady has already visited Aunt Weng and then returned, is in the room to sort out the recent delivery of the door to visit the post.

The father-in-law was still staying here last night, and he was always a guest when he passed the door, and Li Tai was not good at getting up and then he was tired of the room with the lady, sitting in front of the window and saying that he was appreciating, but after a while, he turned over the mess of the flowers and other things that were put away in the Miaoyin makeup box, and went straight out of the door even under the lady's disdain.

In the middle hall, Dugu Xin had woken up, chatting with Li Xiao while drinking tea, and when he saw Li Taimai walking into the room, he just nodded lightly, as if it was not him who was drunk and unconscious last night. Originally, Duguxin paid great attention to words and deeds when communicating with people, but now the relationship between the two families has become close, and they have gradually become familiar with each other.

"Yang Yu will enter the house to visit later, if there is nothing else to do today, then stay at home, and if there is any, he will also retire."

After Li Tai sat down, Dugu Xin said to him again: "I just talked to you about this matter, Yang Yuyu has helped you a lot in Handong this year, and you should also take more care of this Liangzuo's family affairs." He has a long life in the house, so he left home to foster the nunnery since he was a child, and now he has reached the age of enlightenment, and he can't just cultivate the Tao and worship the Buddha without learning the scriptures and righteousness.

There are just vacant seats in the Limeng School of the Longyuan Academy, and entrusting the total number of students to their own family is more assured than handing them over to the government school. I've also seen this son, he is really young and old, quiet and moderate, and he is not as nasty as ordinary young and stubborn. ”

Li Tai was immediately happy when he heard this, and of course he knew in his heart that Dugu Xin was talking about his little brother-in-law Yang Jian. Of course, he would not refuse this, so he said with a smile: "The affairs of the school hall are presided over by Aye, and the father-in-law can tell him if he has something." Of course, I can trust An Lugong's temperament and tutor, he can trust him, and I also hope to teach him! ”

Yang Zhong was newly crowned the Duke of Anlu County and returned to the dynasty earlier than Li Tai. Although he also made great achievements because of a series of wars such as the recovery of Handong, he also needs to face a problem that parents all over the world cannot avoid, that is, the education of their children.

His son Yang Jian was born in the seventh year of Datong, and then he has been fostered in a nunnery, and now he is fifteen years old in Datong, and he is in his early eights, and he already needs to be enlightened and go to school.

Li Tai's Longyuan School was established after his father Li Xiao entered Beijing, and soon became a recognized top private school in Guannai. Of course, this top level is only aimed at the collection of books such as scriptures, literature, and history, and it remains to be tested by time as to how the teaching level is.

But nowadays, most parents don't dig deep into the inside, and just think that it is right to choose the best for their children, so they are also trying to send their children in.

Li Tai may ignore other people's requests, but of course he must treat Yang Zhong specially. Even if there is no friendship of working together and achieving each other, just to enjoy the pleasure of training Yang Jian, he will not refuse.

Even if Yang Jian no longer has the original opportunity, in Li Tai's heart, he is different from others after all, just like Gao Huan, Yu Wentai and others have a different kind of care for the women of the Erzhu family after they are developed, and it is not just out of greed for beauty. Being able to make foul language a reality is also a manifestation of ability.

Li Tai had a simple breakfast in the hall, and it didn't take long for Yang Zhong and his son to visit. Yang Zhong was a little courteous today, especially when he saw Li Tai and his old son, the smirk on his face was trembling.

Li Tai's attention is more on Yang Jian, who is following his father, this kid is taller than his peers, it is estimated that he is almost 1.5 meters, which shows that although he is fostered in a nunnery, his nutrition can also keep up. After all, Xiao Bodhisattva's precept of eating vegetarian food for Shamen has not yet been spread in Guanzhong, and the diet in the temple is not much different from that of the outside.

Although Yang Jian is not small, he is also like an ordinary child, with slightly sparse hair as a total horn. This hairstyle will look a little cute on ordinary children, such as Han Zigao and other talented people are even more beautiful after dressing up like a woman, but when placed here in Yang Jian, Li Tai feels that this kid is a little tender, and the painting style is a little spicy!

But in any case, who has seen Emperor Wen of Sui in the general horn? Li Tai also regarded this as a landscape, staring at this kid up and down seriously.

If ordinary children are looked at by strangers like this, introverts are estimated to be timid and shy, and extroverts are afraid to sing a song to everyone, but Yang Jian's reaction to this is very flat, only under the guidance and introduction of his father, he salutes everyone present one by one, and then sits next to his father, staring at a certain place in the hall without moving.

Yang Zhong also has a headache when he talks about this, because he doesn't get along all the year round, this kid is lukewarm to his family after being taken home, not as lively and noisy as ordinary children, sometimes he sits under the eaves for a day and doesn't speak, which always makes him feel that this baby is not very bright.

Hearing Yang Zhong's complaints, Li Tai couldn't help but be happy, and said in his heart that this is also a problem, the last big otaku who didn't like to talk when he went home replaced his father and brother, and he did not do a bad job.
