Chapter 131: See the Good and Learn from Them
After a night's rest, Li Tai got up early the next day. He didn't have time to do physical training, so he began to draw up the personnel structure for the new official position.
Although the official system of the Western Wei Dynasty inherited the old system of Taihe, there were many defects due to various reasons. Although the framework of Dushuitai exists, it has always been a fictitious one.
At the beginning of the year, after the former Sinong Shaoqing Xue Shan was transferred to Qizhou governor, even the Sinong Shaoqing who was also in charge of Du Shuitai Affairs has been vacant. On the one hand, there is naturally a shortage of talents in the Western Wei Dynasty. On the other hand, even the Yuwentai Ba Mansion does not want the administrative functions of the court to be too complete.
After Su Chuo went to Chang'an to inform Li Tai of his new official position, Cui Qian suggested that Lu Rou should be recommended as Sinong Shaoqing, as Li Tai's direct superior in the court. In this way, Li Tai's actions in this official position will be free from restrictions from his superiors.
Sinong Shaoqing is a serious court official. If he does not hold the office of the Bafu, he only needs to be recommended by the court. Of course, we still need to give Daxingtai some face, and we still need to ask for instructions on what needs to be done, so Cui Qian recommended it to Daxingtai for instructions.
The subordinate officers of the Dushui envoy include military officers, recorders, visitors, and historians. Previously, because the chief officers had been short of personnel for a long time, these subordinate officers were naturally not available.
After Taihe was restructured, Dushuitai had six people who joined the army and one person who recorded events. Visitors and historians were placed according to events, with varying positions.
Li Tai's plan was to follow the old system of Taihe, but divided the scope of responsibilities of the six soldiers in detail, and were in charge of six affairs including Hequ, Qiaojin, Zhouji, Yandai, Yuzhong, and Zangbing. , the number of visitors and historians remained at about thirty people.
This is the size of the staff of nearly forty or fifty people. Not to mention their ability to do things, they must at least be able to read and write. Neither the imperial court nor the Bafu have the supply of personnel in this area. Even if they did, they would not be completely satisfied. After all, Dushuitai is not an important government office.
This shows the value of the descendants of the family in such troubled times where talents are scarce. Li Tai does not need to recruit from outside at all. His own tribe alone can meet these personnel needs.
Of course, he did not dare to openly turn the imperial institution of Dushuitai into his own business. Especially for the most important subordinate officials to join the army, he still had to ensure the principle of fairness and justice. He had to first request from the imperial court and the Bafu, both of which were in short supply. If you want to exchange resources with someone you know, you can only keep two recording positions.
The full name of Dushuitai Yezhe is Hedi Yezhe, who is the manager of a specific river section. Li Tai divided it into two parts. One part was used to win over local powerful people along the river, and the other part was provided by the prefectures and counties along the river.
The lowest-ranking Lingshi was not a senior official and had limited appeal, but he was a front-line executor, so Li Tai planned to make all arrangements by himself. Although Ling Shi's social status was not high, he still had the privilege of being exempted from the tenancy policy. For rural families who valued benefits, it was also a great benefit.
This is the structure of the administrative team as the envoy of Dushui. Li Tai also leads Daxingtai and works as a lieutenant. He also has the power to appoint envoys for the special matter of Luoshui.
Power is like layers of feudalism, where the big ones play a big role and the small ones play the small ones. Daxingtai is naturally majestic, so Li Tai, a confidant, can't be vain in his work. Although there is no specific administrative establishment, it still needs its own affairs team.
The envoys of Quyan mentioned by Yu Wentai were part of the personnel rights open to him. According to the nature of Daxingtai, the salary of this group of people will obviously not be borne by the Tai government. Whoever pays will be the boss. This belongs to Li Tai's personal staff.
The channel alliance Li Tai organized before can serve as a talent reserve. First, develop the local tycoons into the Qumeng, examine their respective talents and roles, and then assign them to the Tai government. If they can also do their best to fulfill their responsibilities, you can consider giving Dushuitai a formal imperial official position.
It was already morning when this entire set of personnel procedures was compiled.
"Brother, you are not going out today? Are you not going to visit Lady Miaoyin?"
Several phoenixes poked their heads outside the hall. When they saw Li Tai put down his pen, he trotted in. Looking at Li Tai, he sighed: "Her family has been blessed with happiness, and the family is happy and peaceful. However, she has to live alone in her uncle's old courtyard. I’m very sad, but I still care about you so much, brother, that I would be a little heartless if I didn’t visit you..."
Li Tai glanced at the sword that had been sheathed in cowhide next to the case, and the young lady's voice and smile flashed through his mind, but then he glanced at the personnel plan that had just been sorted out, and could only shake his head and sigh: "Stay in Chang'an for a few days. , The official business has been delayed a lot. I have to go to the Taiwan government to discuss matters later, and I really don’t have time..."
It's just a joke whether to eat soft rice or not. Strengthening yourself is the right way. What's more, even if he wants to devote himself to eating soft food, he is far from worthy at the moment. Although he was also touched by the little lady's concern, he really didn't have the time or energy to engage in any kind of love between his son and his daughter right now.
After pondering for a while, he took up a pen and wrote a note and handed it to Shuifeng, and then said: "Dharma Bodhidharma has taken some of the fashionable goods sent from the village and paid a visit for me first, and told the young lady that you will be waiting for me." When the desk work is over, I will definitely go and thank you in person.”
"I've visited several times before, but I couldn't even get in. Brother, if you don't go there, I'm afraid the same thing will happen."
Shuofeng was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still put away the letter Li Tai handed him, and sighed in a mature manner: "The same words and deeds, different people have different tastes when they do it. Where I am, I am not as good as brother after all." You are more respected, it has been seen for a long time!”
"Come back early after you go there. I haven't noticed how your studies have been recently!"
When Li Tai heard this, he rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Several Feng's little faces suddenly fell, and they didn't dare to nag any more, so they turned around and walked out of the hall.
Li Tai also stood up, had a simple meal in the residence, and then went to Tai Mansion to ask Su Chuo about his personnel plan and how much start-up capital Daxingtai was prepared to give him.
He should quickly sort out the personnel affairs at the upper level so that he can start his career in the countryside as soon as possible.
Shuofeng selected a few gifts. Before he could go out, he saw that Li Tai had already left. He couldn't help but sigh, and then led a few guards to He Basheng's former residence in the south of the city.
In He Basheng's former residence, the original family slaves have evacuated, and the Dugu family sent people here to serve the mourning wife.
When he came to the door, Shuofeng asked the guard to hand over his name card and Li Tai's letter. Not long after, someone came out and ushered him into the main hall of the residence. But Shuofeng couldn't be happy, knowing that this courtesy was not for him.
In particular, when he entered the hall, he saw several tall and round servant women, which made him even more frightened. It was these women who had tortured him at Shang Yuan Manor before.
There was a curtain in the middle hall, and Lady Miaoyin in mourning clothes was sitting in it. When she heard Shou Feng's greetings, she leaned over and said, "Shou Bodhidharma, thank you for telling me about Chang'an before. You saved me from being deceived by others. , assisting evil in committing crimes.”
Shuofeng had known this young lady, and this was the first time she was treated so politely. After hearing this, she immediately felt embarrassed and said quickly: "This is what I should do. Although I am young and short-witted, I cannot sit back and watch Miaoyin being raped by others. Deceived, brother, he was bullied!"
The voice in the curtain paused for a moment, and then sounded again: "You came here today, was it Li Lang who asked you to come? Did he like the knife I gave him? Although my bird also returned home, maybe it was just a polite word. You guys Only if you have a close relationship will he tell you his true feelings.”
"Brother, he must like it. When I went out before, I saw that he had already put on the knife."
Shuofeng said this, and after thinking about it, he said in a rather tragic mood: "You have seen the precious sword Miaoyin gave me before, but I don't even see my brother wearing it. I think I didn't like it, but now I am even more fond of it." I don’t know where it was lost.”
When Lady Miaoyin heard this, her tone suddenly became more cheerful: "Gifts should always be in line with people's wishes. It's not that there are no swords in my family, but they are too flashy and dazzling, so they are not suitable for daily use. It seems that this intention is I thought about it. If he doesn’t hate things, he’s not angry with me.”
"How can you express your anger? Brother also said that he just has no time to come to see you because he is busy with business. After this busy period, he will come back to express his thanks!"
Shuifeng said quickly: "Even if Brother is really angry, I can't let each other misunderstand. Miaoyin, how could you know about other people's plots if you live here alone! You, Brother, and the three of us were the closest to my uncle during his lifetime. If the younger generation is separated and alienated due to misunderstanding, even though the uncle is no longer in the world, the deceased soul will be sad because of it. "
Lady Miaoyin in the curtain nodded when she heard this, and couldn't help but said: "It turns out that I thought, Bodhidharma, you have the protection and connivance of your relatives, so you should be a naughty and disgusting thing. But I didn't expect that you treat people so well." You still have such a correct idea. I made things difficult for you before, so I apologize."
"No, no, I don't hold grudges, and this isn't really a grudge."
When Shuofeng heard this, he was a little flattered. He shook his head and waved his hands and said, but felt that he still had some unfinished meaning, so he quickly said: "Brother, he is busy with his affairs. Miaoyin, it is inconvenient for you to mourn, and I am just an idle person. Do you have anything to say to me?" Brother, tell me, I will definitely help!”
"What can I say to him?"
After hearing this, Madam Miaoyin first let out a huff, and then said after a while: "But thank you anyway. We have met many times and made many bad remarks. I should give you a gift to apologize."
Having said this, she turned to give a few instructions to the maid, who turned around and left after hearing the words.
Not long after, the maidservant returned and presented a sword, also inlaid with gold and jade, ornately decorated, to several phoenixes.
"The gift is not only a sharp blade, but also a man's bravery and courage in facing difficulties. I hope that you will be able to think of the wise, live up to the family tradition, and live up to those who treat you well."
After presenting a precious sword, Lady Miaoyin made another gift speech.
