Chapter 263 Kai Cao joins the army
Before accepting the appointment, Li Tai still cautiously inquired whether the arrangement was to recall him to the Taifu or a temporary arrangement. He was slightly relieved when he learned that it was the latter.
To be honest, after getting used to being wild outside and enjoying the pleasure of supporting the army, no matter how important the position in Tai Fuzhong was, it was not very attractive to Li Tai. It's okay to have a temporary guest experience, but it's a bit unacceptable to leave the power affairs in northern Shaanxi and return to the Bafu government agency.
This trip went to Chang'an for a funeral and a banquet. After returning, Yu Wentai also had a lot of things on his desk. He didn't have time to explain too much to Li Tai. After awarding the appointment, he waved to him to leave and take up his post immediately.
Li Tai also had the consciousness of a firefighter. Seeing that Yu Wentai continued to bury his head in the papers, he said nothing more and resigned immediately.
As the name suggests, Kai Cao Shenjun is an official in charge of the armor and weapons of the troops, which can be regarded as a very important position in the Ba Mansion. Especially now that the Sixth Army is being reorganized and expanded, and on the eve of the Grand Parade, Kai Cao's affairs are naturally even more busy and urgent.
In order to show off his seniority in the Taifu, Li Tai originally planned to refuse the visitor's guidance and go to Kai Cao's official office. However, he soon discovered that Kai Cao had changed his office location, so he obediently let others guide him there.
Last year, Daxingtai made a fortune and expanded both Taifu and Huazhou City. However, the architectural layout and use of Taifu did not become more relaxed, but instead became more cramped and crowded.
This is because Yu Wentai transferred more power that originally belonged to the imperial court to the Taifu, so he naturally had to divide the corresponding office locations and recruit personnel. As a result, the office environment of Taifu became more crowded than before. Some less important Caosi even directly worked together, and different personnel and affairs were mixed together, making it even more chaotic.
Kai Cao's new office is not located in Taifu, but in a newly built military city outside Huazhou City. Some military-related offices under the Taifu were also established here, including the current commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, Li Bi, and several Hui Taiwei and Sikongfu, who were also located in this city.
When Li Tai took office as a new official, he had to sort out Cao's personnel as soon as possible, so he had no time to pay a visit to Shui Hui. Under the leadership of the visitor, he went straight to the official office after entering the city.
However, before they could enter the official office, they heard various noises coming from the city walls. Dozens of strong soldiers stood in front of the official office. They did not look kind-hearted and looked at Xiang Xiang warily. Li Tai and others came on this trip.
The visitor who was still responsible for guiding the way was pushed back repeatedly before he could enter the door of the official office. The soldiers standing in front of the door sneered: "The office has no time to work today. If you have something to do, come back another day!"
"Are you a subordinate of Kai Cao, or are you a subordinate of Cao Cao?"
Seeing that these people were a bit arrogant, Li Tai raised his finger and pointed at one of the soldiers who looked like a captain and asked in a deep voice.
The soldier commander saw that Li Taiyi's demeanor was unusual, and he did not dare to neglect for a moment. He crossed his hands and replied: "A certain foreign soldier Cao belongs to the public and followed Shangguan to work here. If the foreign soldier Cao's affairs are not settled, there will be no time to deal with it here. Other things. If you can afford to wait, you might as well come back another day."
When Li Tai heard this answer and saw the soldiers blocking the gate of the government office to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, he couldn't help but sigh that Kai Cao was having a rough time. Could this be the reason why Yu Wentai sent him here?
"I can afford to wait, but you may not be able to wait."
Li Tai was too lazy to argue with these soldiers. The officer showed his appointment letter to these people and said: "Xinde Daxingtai has appointed Consul Kai Cao. Please step back and give way until I enter the hall." It’s easy to handle your affairs.”
Although the soldiers couldn't recognize the words on the appointment letter clearly, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Tai said. The soldier commander who had replied before quickly leaned over and said, "It turns out that Mr. Lang is Cao's new recruit to the army." , it’s really rude…”
Li Tai was too lazy to chat with these people anymore. After they gave up the passage, the guests and entourage went straight into the office.
After entering the office, I found that the scene was even more messy. The people in the corridor were standing with their heads bowed. Many office desk utensils in front of the hall had been thrown out and scattered on the ground. At first glance, it didn't look like an office belonging to a tyrant, as if it had just been robbed.
A young man wearing a hakama pleated military robe was standing in the hall, with his hands on his hips and angrily scolding the dejected subordinates of Kai Cao. When he heard the noise coming from outside, he immediately turned around and looked impatiently. Lai said angrily: "Who dares you...Li, Uncle Li, it turns out to be Governor Li. What's the reason for Governor Li coming here?"
This was a young Hu man. Li Tai looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his identity for a moment, so he didn't pay attention to him immediately. Instead, he looked at the low-ambition Kai Cao subordinates and said: " Who is in charge of the office today?"
"Yes, it's me. I met Governor Li in my humble position."
A middle-aged man walked out of the shadows in the hall, hurriedly walked to Li Tai, lowered his hands and clasped his fists, and said: "Huangfu Fan, a low-ranking officer who joins the army of Cao Cao, may I ask what orders Li Dadu has?"
"Where are the other subordinates? There is such a big Kai Cao, but only these servants in front of me?"
Kai Cao is not a hegemonic official. He has at least a thousand officials and craftsmen in charge of warehouses, maintenance, repairs, and supervision. This is the scale that Li Tai knew before, and the scale of personnel must be even larger now.
"One of the consuls in the department, Liang Rongliang, joined the army. He fell off his horse in shock a few days ago and had to go home to recuperate..."
Before Huangfu Fan, who joined the army, had finished speaking, the young man who had been showing off his power in the hall couldn't help laughing: "Huangfu Canjun didn't tell the truth. Did Liang Canjun really just fall off his horse in shock? It seems that I want to do it too." Arrange for Huangfu to join the army, otherwise it may be difficult to get the armor out in the near future. "
While talking, the young man smiled at Li Tai and said, "I think Governor Li came here to collect armor for the grand parade. However, these Kai Cao thieves are cunning and stingy, and they always make excuses and delays. If Without punishment, they will only think you are weak and can be bullied!"
"Who are you?"
Li Tai looked at the young man carefully again, guessing that the soldiers in front of the door must have followed him. Although he had not yet had time to reveal his new identity and purpose, it was still a little bit to be pointed at the monk and scolded him as a bald donkey. Unhappy, he frowned and asked.
After hearing the words, the young man was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he crossed his hands in embarrassment and said: "The last general's name is Yi Lou Mu. He used to be the governor of Daxing's office. When he was in the governor's office of Dadu, he was present at the table. Now he is new." Lead foreign soldiers to join the army."
After Li Tai heard the self-introduction of the other party, he had some impressions, but when he saw the mess made by the young man Yilou Mu, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "If you don't do new things, you will inevitably be diligent." He is dedicated to his job and eager to make achievements, but even so, he should not interfere with other people's cases and show off his prestige. "
This Yiloumu doesn't look too old, but his resume is quite impressive. He first served as the commander of Yuwentai's personal soldiers, and now he serves as a foreign soldier of Bafu and joins the army. Cao Zhitang went crazy.
Look at the bitter look on the face of Kai Cao and Huang Fufan. They are not the same spirit at all. Their auras are suppressed by others.
But when it comes to young success, except for a few guys who relied on their fathers for their success, Li Tai has never convinced anyone, and he has no psychological pressure when he teaches others a lesson.
After Yilomu heard this, he frowned slightly, but before he could refute, his subordinates who were left outside the official office hurriedly walked in and whispered, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Director Li has actually been appointed as the Kai Cao. Congratulations..."
Facing Li Tai, the newly appointed Kai Cao who joined the army, Yi Loumu did not dare to be as arrogant and domineering as before, and looked at the messy hall he had made. His head was lowered a little lower, and he quickly explained: "It's a humble job." I am by no means a bully or bully, and I am willing to work harmoniously with my colleagues, but it is true that the former Kai Cao official did not do things according to the rules, and the armor staff should have been paid a month ago..."
"I am new to the post, and the case is still unfamiliar to me. We will discuss it in detail after we understand it. Please ask Yilou to join the army and return to the office temporarily to wait for the notice of departure."
Li Tai also knew that Kai Cao's personnel affairs must be in chaos, otherwise he would not have been bullied like this, but he did not need to pursue the previous matter. He just wanted to get rid of irrelevant people quickly and sort out the personnel personnel in the department first.
"I understand, I understand. The Metropolitan Governor has always been known for his talents. Now that he has joined the Consul Department, the people who are in trouble related to low-level positions can rest assured. I will say goodbye and wait for news, and do not dare to disturb the Metropolitan Governor's case again."
Yilomu heard that Li Tai had no intention of pursuing him, so he nodded quickly and said that his previous madness had completely subsided. Because he had served as the commander of the army in Daxingtai's tent, he knew better that Governor Li had an unusual status in Daxingtai's mind, and his own position and future were already extremely outstanding, so there was no need to offend him.
Seeing Yiloumu walking out of the hall with a few followers, Li Tai raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, leave some followers to clean the inside and outside of the hall, bring some food and wine over in the evening, and help me add food to the staff." meal."
"Absolutely, please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"
After hearing the words, Yiloumu quickly clasped his fists and said in response. He was already planning to find a few familiar colleagues after get off work later to brag that he led people to smash up Li Boshan's hall today. Thinking about the shocked expressions of those people, he suddenly He was full of bad taste, but before leaving, he asked Li Tai carefully how he tasted and when the food would be delivered.
After the foreign soldiers and cavalry left, the people in Kai Cao came forward to pay tribute to Li Tai, the new commander. Seeing the frightened and happy faces of these people, Li Tai felt a little unhappy. This was really what he had led. The most courageous subordinate I have ever had!
When Xiong Xiong was in the nest, his eyes first turned to Huangfu Fan, who was also in the army. Before he could speak, Huangfu Fan knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Please forgive me, the Governor, please forgive me..."
