Chapter 134: Get along with each other
Because Li Mu didn't bring up the old things again, the meeting was in a pleasant atmosphere. It wasn't until the night got darker that Li Tai sent the two of them out the door.
When he came back, he couldn't help but sigh, with officials protecting each other and sharing power, life was getting more and more promising.
Previously, other people in the Taiwanese government were not very enthusiastic about Li Tai's proposal, either because of jealousy or because they had no interests.
In this era, it is very difficult to find an honest, selfless and pure minister. Advancement in official career is not the first goal of officials, or even the main goal. The most ideal state is to coordinate one's official career with the development of the family.
In order to expand their ruling group, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty often used pastoral land to attract powerful people from Guan and Long to join, and they could also use the prestige of these powerful people in the countryside to reduce the cost of governance. Based on rural development, these powerful natural forces have proliferated.
The local interests of the Taiwan government officials in the Luoshui Basin are limited, and Li Tai has not created any considerable business based on this. In addition, he does not even have basic entrepreneurial capital, so it is no wonder that everyone is unwilling to do so. Accompany him in the difficult journey and start from scratch.
Sure enough, things still have to be done step by step. Any idea beyond the matter itself, no matter how perfect and reasonable it seems, has no room for implementation.
The reason why Li He took the initiative to seek cooperation was probably because he valued the supply capabilities of the lower and lower reaches of Luoshui River.
These powerful people in Xiazhou may be more trusted and close to Daxingtai, but their overall power and prestige are still far inferior to those of the powerful people in Beizhen. Perhaps the process of integrating into the heart of Guanzhong is not smooth, and they cannot compete with the local tycoons in Guanzhong. It must be very difficult to achieve close cooperation and maintain the independent existence of the army.
Li Tai is neither a traditional Guanlong tycoon nor a military leader in Beizhen, but he can control the entire main stream of Luoshui. He is naturally an excellent partner for Li He.
Of course, Li Tai also needed military support to deter the powerful people in the situation. The rural forces along the Luoshui River he envisioned had not been established and integrated, and the military leaders in Beizhen were difficult for him to control. Li and this Xiazhou Hao Chief is also a suitable choice.
Li Mu said that he went back to reflect after the last meeting. It seems that he was not just a polite empty talk. He must have seriously thought about how to get along with each other. This interaction was very pleasant for both parties. After all, only a mutually beneficial relationship can last long.
Early the next morning, Li Tai went straight to Taifu. He has given up hope of looking for a partner in Taiwan, but he still has to get the initial funding.
There was no absenteeism at Daxingtai this time, which made Li Tai quite satisfied. To be the boss, you have to act like a boss. Do you still want to be absent from work every day?
Without the care of the Daxingtai Special Affairs Office, he could only wait in line in the outer corridor to be summoned.
The advantage of being a zhonglang in Taifu is reflected here. Although when he arrived, there was already a long queue in the corridor outside the straight hall, but he was still led to the middle and front of the queue by the visitors.
Those in front of him are all things that have been planned yesterday. The new things behind him have not yet been divided into casual dramas, so they will be arranged according to the importance of their duties. Li Tai is now regarded as an upper-middle-class staff member in the Taiwanese government, so he naturally has the privilege of jumping in line.
Even so, he still waited outside for more than an hour before it was finally his turn to enter the hall to pay homage.
When he saw him entering the hall, he quickly stood up and reported the matter of his prosecution yesterday to Daxingtai.
After hearing this, Yu Wentai looked at him and said: "It is difficult to maintain the national economy now, and there are no abundant reserves either internally or externally. Since you have requested expenditures, do you have any plans for yourself?"
The reason why Li Tai was willing to chat with Yu Wentai was not only to flatter him, but also to see how aggrieved the boss was. When he opened his mouth, he complained first and did not dare to discuss anything in a big way.
If the boss is like this, what does the little difficulty and trouble I have suffered mean? This makes Li Tai feel happy and his psychological imbalance can be adjusted.
He quickly took out the budget plan he had drawn up in advance and asked the audience to submit it.
After Yu Wentai briefly looked through the budget plan, he answered simply: "It's impossible, it can't be produced."
It's a given that you can't get it, but if you ask for a lot of money and pay it back on the spot, you have to pay some amount.
Li Tai was about to start bargaining, but Yu Wentai didn't let him speak, and said directly: "The government can only allocate it to the public treasury for the first district, and you can go to the branch office to get it. Lu Zigang is already in charge of military service and agriculture. Chang'an takes up his new post and goes to negotiate."
Lu Rou successfully served as Sinong Shaoqing, which was naturally a great joy. However, the Tai government was only willing to give them a piece of public land. Li Tai was naturally a little disappointed, but before he could continue to fight for it, Yu Wentai waved his hand impatiently and said: "Get out!"
Sure enough, when it comes to money, no one has face.
Seeing this, Li Tai had no choice but to bow out and bow out. It seemed that his new career was not only about water control. I am destined to have to work part-time in farming.
He came to Su Chuo again dejectedly, thinking that he would have to let Poyantou, the master of land measurement, come online. Although public land is not private, it must provide more benefits to subordinates.
The branch office was also very busy, and Li Tai waited in line for a while. In a bad mood, he couldn't help complaining about the strong bureaucracy of this agency. I didn't do much at the end of the day, but I had enough fun queuing up.
Finally it was his turn to enter the hall. Su Chuo raised his eyes and saw him. While rummaging through the desk for documents, he smiled and said to him: "Dahangtai really cares about this cause. Li Lang, you must work hard!"
After hearing this, Li Tai laughed dryly. His smile was full of perfunctory. Thinking of having to open up wasteland to increase production and go through last year's struggle again, he didn't feel cared for at all.
The document granting the land was handed over. Li Tai glanced at it casually at first, and soon realized something was wrong. He took a closer look, then raised his head with some confusion and said, "If I remember correctly, the garden business mentioned in the article seems to be Adjacent to Zhao Qiaoqi’s home?”
"Li Lang is indeed very familiar with his hometown. It is the garden near Luoshui that Zhao Qilin built. Yesterday it was returned to the Taifu government, and now it has been allocated to the Dushui Foreign Village for use. Do you feel the care Daxingtai shows you? Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Su Chuo could tell that Li Tai was not in high spirits, so he looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, satisfied, I couldn't be more satisfied! I will definitely work hard and live up to my generosity, and I will definitely be rewarded within the year!"
Li Tai nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, and all his complaints about Daxingtai were wiped away.
What does it mean to spend a small amount of money to do big things? This is it!
Even if Yu Wentai responded to Li Tai's requests and fully satisfied the budget plan he proposed, it would still be inferior to this!
Zhao Gui's manor, at least within the scope of Luoshui known to Li Tai, is the largest and most profitable private garden. Even if the entire manor is evacuated, the fertile land and hydraulic facilities are ready. As long as you can manage it seriously, you will be able to see profits soon without having to worry about starting up capital.
There is a more important point. If Li Tai wants to completely rectify Luoshui, he will inevitably have conflicts with those with vested interests along the river. And Zhao Gui is the most powerful and troublesome one among them.
Li Tai's previous idea was to draw Yuwenhu into the printing industry to form a community of interests. In addition to repaying Yuwenhu for his help, he also had an important intention, which was to crowd out and check Zhao Gui's interests on the bank of Luoshui.
He originally thought that there would be a new conflict between them, but he did not expect that Yu Wentai had already solved it for him first, confiscating Zhao Gui Manor and delivering it to Du Shui for use.
This is what a qualified boss should do. Before, he passively wiped Li Tai's butt, but now he will wipe it out, directly avoiding the possibility of another conflict between the two!
Whether you pay attention to everything or not, saying ten thousand empty words is not as good as doing one practical thing. Yu Wentai also expressed his determination to rectify Luoshui through this. Even generals like Zhao Gui from Yuan Cong and other Yi have to make way for this. Among all of you, who dares to think that you are more awesome than Zhao Gui?
Thinking of how Yu Wentai had driven him away impatiently just now, Li Tai suddenly felt that the boss was so arrogant and cute. It turned out that he had made such a proper arrangement behind his back, but he still refused to tell him in person.
No wonder Yu Wentai's career can grow so big. He can really stand up when it's time to stand up.
Of course, Li Tai didn't know how Yu Wentai used it to get the manor back from Zhao Gui, otherwise he would have complained in his heart.
Since I am determined to be Lu, one of my main goals is to drive a wedge between you, the powerful people in North Town, and the greater the rift between you, the greater the room for my growth!
But in any case, Yu Wentai's support for Li Tai is more meaningful than simply providing money and food, and it also gives him more room to operate in the future. That's why he dared to promise to Su Chuo that the results will be seen within this year. .
Li Tai is not the only one who feels this, he also works in the Tai Mansion, and there are no secrets in some things.
Li Tai had just received Zhao Guiyuanye from the Taiwan government, and many people also got the news at the same time. When Li Tai left Su Chuozhitang, not far away, he met Cui Yanmu, the Minister of Xingtai.
"I was just about to look for Boshan, and we happened to meet each other on the way. If Boshan has nothing important to do now, can we go back to the office and talk in detail?"
After Cui Yanmu saw Li Tai, he walked up to him with an enthusiastic face and said with a smile.
Li Tai shook the order scroll in his hand and said apologetically: "I just received the order and am waiting for implementation. If the matter is not urgent, Cui Shangshu, can you allow me to come back and see you later?"
Cui Yanmu held Li Tai's wrist and did not let go. He still said with a smile: "It's not an important matter. Let's talk while walking."
While talking, he and Li Tai walked side by side to Taifu. Many people came after hearing the news along the way. However, when they saw Cui Yanmu walking side by side with Li Tai, they just said hello and walked away without saying anything.
"Yesterday, Boshan, you came to report the matter. After I returned to my residence in the evening, I asked the children in the household carefully. There are indeed a few people who have just matured intelligence who hope to follow Boshan."
After walking a certain distance, Cui Yanmu smiled and said to Li Tai: "Boshan, if you are free these days, I will send my children to visit you at home. If you can use it, use it. If not, I hope you can give me some advice, Boshan." ”
