Where there are people, there will be injustice, and where there is injustice, there will be strife and compromise. What situations to fight and what situations to compromise also vary from person to person.

The grievances and entanglements between Dugu Xin and Yu Wentai, Li Tai is just a bystander, and he doesn't see much, so naturally he is not qualified to calm things down, what do you say.

As for the Guanzhong people's struggle for their own interests, then he has no reason to put his beak in it. What he can do is to try his best to handle all kinds of interactions and interests between himself and the people in Guanzhong, and strive to get positive feedback from each other.

These things discussed with Duguxin today also made Li Tai feel that the interests of various groups and individuals in the current situation of the Western Wei Dynasty still need to be run-in, which is undoubtedly a great good news for him.

The various personnel relations in the country still need to be sorted out and stabilized, so the disagreement between the town and the center of the hegemon will not become the main contradiction, but the object that all parties with interests in the country need to strive for.

To put it more bluntly, the more noisy the parties in the country are, the more independent Li Tai's Jingzhou Governor's Mansion will be, and the less Daxingtai will have time and energy to clean up Fangzhen. Anyway, even if the situation in the country is stable, the overlord government will not invest too much manpower and material resources to support the development of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

After a little ventilation with Li Tai, early the next morning, Dugu Xin left with the people he brought yesterday. As for how he wanted to operate to make Yu Wenyu the assassin of Beihuazhou, he didn't elaborate, and Li Tai didn't ask much.

Li Tai stayed in Chang'an for another two days, and seeing that the time was approaching July, he returned to Huazhou to make some final personnel arrangements before returning to Jingzhou.

Yuwendao has also been waiting in Huazhou for a long time, and when he learned the news of Li Tai's return to Huazhou, he came to visit, and after a brief greeting between the two sides, Yuwendao directly explained his intentions.

"The Taiyuan Gong's discussion of the war in Shu in the palace a few days ago made me deeply inspired after listening to it. In particular, the proposal to block the trade route west of Bashu, I have also thought a lot recently, and I am worried that one person's private plan is not thorough enough, so I want to discuss this matter with Taiyuan Gong before leaving, and I hope that Taiyuan Gong can give advice! ”

Yuwen Dao is much more generous and gentle than Yuwen Hu, and this time he came to consult Li Tai, and his attitude is much more modest and polite.

Seeing that Director Yu Wendao had such an attitude, Li Tai naturally would not be rude, and hurriedly smiled: "Zhang Wugong is too modest, no matter where he is, he always serves the country, and the prince deigns to ask, as long as it can be beneficial to things, I must know everything!" ”

"In that case, then I will no longer be inhibited, I really have a lot of doubts to be answered."

Yuwen Dao then said: "In the underground of Longnan, there are many Qiang genera entrenched in the middle. These disciples are obedient on the outside and fierce on the inside, even if they are carefully restrained, it is difficult to accept their hearts for a long time. The Qinzhou Governor's Mansion also has no shortage of strategies to attack and kill this fierce crowd, but its mountains and fields are rugged and the roads are dangerous, so it is not easy to besiege and kill, and it is even more difficult to stay for a long time. Even if a strong army plunders the territory, it can only get a temporary peace, and it will not be long before there will be a crowd of miscellaneous people who will steal this area and gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests......"

Li Tai also nodded slightly when he heard this, the Qiang Hu people on all sides of Longyou are like the many barbarian tribes distributed among the Jianghan Zeye, including the Jihu subordinates distributed in all sides of northern Shaanxi, if you really want to talk about how strong the strength is, it is not necessarily true. The relatively primitive social organization and the inferior level of productivity determine that the upper limit of their ethnic development is not high, and the corresponding military strength is not too strong.

However, the main reason why they can still be entrenched in the mountains and wilderness and are difficult to eradicate is that they are often distributed among the poor mountains and rivers with inconvenient transportation and insufficient natural resources, and the cost of using troops for in-depth clearance is too high, and their territories have no value of stationing and cultivating for a long time after the clearance.

Although Yuwen Dao determined the plan to vigorously eliminate and reorganize the Qiang tribe in Longnan, he still did not have a clear and definite idea in his heart for the long-term management and maintenance of order in this realm.

The main reason for visiting Li Tai this time is to ask for advice on this point. Even if you don't talk about the relatively close relationship between Li Tai and the wealthy clans of Longyou and the affairs of Sifang City, his series of reorganization and governance of Jihu in northern Shaanxi alone is very worthy of reference.

When Li Tai heard this, he also understood the doubts in Yuwendao's heart. He was worried that even if he did this hot-headed, because there was no long-term expected return on the benefits, coupled with the investment of various inevitable ruling costs, it might only end up being in vain and giving up halfway.

Yuwen Dao saw that Li Tai also listened, so he continued: "The Sifang City in Tianshui County, I know that it was built by the big clans in the Taiyuan Gonglian Realm. So far, the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion still has to lose, and it is not small. The Duke of Taiyuan also said that he would clean up the trade road in Shuxi, but drawing on the merits of the Taicheng and the city tax lost by Sifang City, even if Shuxi can also collect these benefits, I am afraid it is not enough to offset the consumption of troops. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, knowing that Yu Wendao was taking this opportunity to inquire about the internal operation secrets of Sifang City and the exact profits.

Of course, he didn't want to explain this to Yuwendao, but he also understood that if he didn't give Yuwendao a satisfactory answer today, he was afraid that he would not give up, and he might rudely interfere with the operation of Sifang City after he returned.

After all, his talent is the real boss of Longyou now, and Sifang City is messing around under his nose, and it is impossible not to make people feel comfortable. That is to say, Yuwen Dao, a steady and old person, will also take into account the personnel reactions of all parties, and if Yuwen Hu is replaced, it is estimated that he will have to insert his hand in it a long time ago.

"Sifang City, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to introduce it to Zhang Wugong, and it happened that we had free time with each other today, so I would talk about it carefully."

After a moment of silence, Li Tai spoke again, and carefully explained his considerations, process, and operation mechanism for establishing the Sifang City, of course, the operations related to sneak attacks on temples and looting goods could not be discussed.

In the twelfth year of the Great Unification, the rebellions in Liangzhou, Guazhou and other places were put down one after another, and the Hexi Corridor was reopened. At that time, there was an atmosphere of excitement and celebration throughout Longyou, but people were still at a loss as to how the Silk Road trade based on the Hexi Corridor should be carried out, and they did not know where to start.

Under this background, Li Tai established the Sifang City, attracting and guiding the masses of Longyou to join in a series of commercial activities such as warehousing, transportation, and trading.

One of the major features of Sifang City is that it concentrates the originally scattered commercial and trade activities in a specific scene to realize, in addition to paying a series of commercial taxes such as daicheng and municipal taxes to the Qinzhou state government on behalf of the merchants.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of Sifang City that Longyou's commerce and trade have made great progress at the beginning of the opening of the trade route and have a considerable scale. At the same time, it also gave the government a way to manage business and trade and collect commercial taxes.

Of course, due to the tacit understanding formed between Li Tai and Longyou, the state government did not dare to rashly interfere in the daily management and maintenance of Sifang City.

At present, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides is quite harmonious, of course, Li Tai will not interpret this in depth, but mainly focuses on the significance of Sifang City for the centralized management of commercial and trade behaviors, as well as the effect of cracking down on and eliminating private trade.

Yuwendao preface Qinzhou Governor's Mansion has a lot of power from this, but it is by no means a simple boast, but it is really true.

Although Li Tai is now far away in Jingzhou and does not interfere in the actual management of Sifang City, he also knows that the commercial taxes paid by Sifang City to the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion are more than a dozen Gao Aocao every year, and this number is still increasing year by year, and even Li Tai is very envious of the treatment of the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion to sit on the ground and share the spoils.

Although the Nanyang Basin is also a hub area that communicates east, west, north and south, the changes in the surrounding situation are more complex than those in Longyou, and there is no fixed trade route such as the Silk Road, which is carried out in a large number of commercial and trade activities, so naturally there is no corresponding scene where commercial taxes can be collected centrally.

As a result, Li Tai had to attract investment and obtain corresponding benefits through the improvement of the overall business environment. Although the income is also very considerable, it is much more laborious than the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion, which can collect money from sitting on the ground.

What is the financial situation of the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion today, Li Tai is not very clear. Yuwendao was worried that after the Shuxi trade route was cleared, the commercial tax income would not be enough to maintain the consumption of the troops and garrisons, and the implication was that he actually wanted to squeeze some of the resources from Sifang City as military expenses.

Li Tai can also understand this, not to mention Yuwen Dao, if he is in Qinzhou, if there is any military action, he will have to start with such a cash cow as Sifang City first, and he is not in a hurry to use the storage of the arsenal of the warehouse.

After explaining the operation mechanism of Sifang City, Li Tai said: "Zhang Wugong's concern is not without a compromise. The people of Longnan are barren and have nothing to do, and it is a pity to gain and lose. But if you start in Shuzhong, even if the mountain road is rugged, it is also a gold rush road.

How can a merchant sit back and enjoy the benefits of this? These businessmen have no shortage of ways to make profits by lending money on credit. Now that the treasury is empty, it is natural to temporarily borrow its wealth to seek success first, and then slowly repay it for this matter. ”

Thanks to the alliance leader for his love and love. . .
