Chapter 265 Limited time sale
As the roar came, several people in the hall quickly put away the important documents on the desk, while people outside the hall gathered outside the door to buy time for the hall to sort out the books. I don't know that this series of actions has been done before. How many times have I become so skilled that it makes people feel distressed.
Not long after, more than a dozen people rushed to the door of Zhitang. The first one took a look inside the hall, and his originally angry expression suddenly turned into a bit of surprise: "When did Governor Li enter the city? Could it be that he is also urging his subordinates to punish him?" Armor?"
Li Tai stood up, looked at several chapters with a black head, and replied patiently and muffled: "Xinde Daxingtai has been appointed to take charge of the Kai Cao case. If you have something to say when you come here, why bother shouting and insulting!"
When Zhu Zhang heard this, he also looked embarrassed. He quickly bowed and folded his hands, apologizing again and again: "This is really rude. I really don't know that the Governor is here, otherwise how could I dare..."
Li Tai did not pursue the matter further. He waved his hand to several chapters to come and sit in the hall. He screened the others away first, and then said: "I am new to the affairs here, and there are still many things that I don't know clearly. The armor and equipment your department requested. How much is the quantity? If the demand is really urgent, I will try to find a way to prepare a batch.”
Kai Cao's place is in such a mess that it may be difficult to sort it out in a short time. Li Tai saw that some chapters were very impatient, so he planned to transfer a batch of armors from his own house for temporary loan use if the demand was not too great. It happened that Li Hu had not yet paid a batch of armors for people and goods. There was no time to allocate it to Bu Qu, and he and Shui Hui didn't care too much. Since it was needed urgently, let's take it first.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhang laughed, shook his head and leaned close to Li Tai and whispered: "The Governor has misunderstood, my troops are not in urgent need of armor... It's not that there is no shortage, but we are not in urgent need of armor. Pay. Kai Cao's personnel are in a mess right now, and he doesn't even have enough materials to use. It's okay if it's someone else. He can't embarrass the governor. "
"What's going on?"
Li Tai was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. It seemed that there was something hidden in this that he didn't know?
"The thing is like this. Since the beginning of the year, the Chinese army has been reorganized and expanded, and the soldiers in the military camps can still be consolidated, but the ordnance and armament always need to be matched in kind..."
After a few chapters, he saw that Li Tai was quite puzzled, so he began to explain it seriously.
Bafu is reorganizing the army, and the expansion of soldiers is not the biggest problem. A large number of Guanlonghao Yousiqu were recruited into the army. The total number of soldiers in Kansai is now much higher than before.
Although the military strength has continued to increase, there are huge differences in other aspects compared to before. Take the ordnance issue currently being discussed as an example. The efficiency of production replenishment is far inferior to the expansion of soldiers.
Kai Cao officials have said before that in addition to government-made production and war seizures, there is another way to replenish armor and weapons, which is private donations. Naturally, the so-called private donations cannot refer to the donations from ordinary people, but the donations from military leaders and powerful men.
Generally speaking, generals with a certain size of armed forces will have some armor production capacity. For example, Li Tai previously purchased armor from Hedong Haoqiang, but now he has built a smelting and casting workshop.
In previous years, the Sixth Army was dominated by Xianbei soldiers, and the private troops of generals at all levels accounted for a large proportion. Even if the Bafu did not have sufficient armor production capacity, it could still rely on the private armed reserves of some generals to fight without delay.
But now the proportion of Guanlong's powerful troops among the Sixth Army has increased sharply, which itself is challenging the status and power of the traditional Beizhen military leaders. Naturally, this part of the army will not be organized into the troops of those Beizhen military leaders. Then they Naturally, there is no longer any obligation to make offerings.
Although the Sixth Army has now been reorganized, the level of armament is worrying. A considerable number of the soldiers can only be equipped with the most basic swords and canes, and even the drills are performed without physical objects.
Nowadays, Kai Cao is being humiliated by various parties to ask for ordnance supplies. On the one hand, it is because the situation is really bad, and on the other hand, all parties are complaining and blocking the Taiwan government from recruiting supplies from them.
"This Kai Cao is really not a kind place at the moment. Daxingtai may appreciate and trust the Governor's ability to deal with difficult situations, but if the Governor does not have the ability to create creatures out of thin air, it is best to leave as soon as possible!"
After narrating the inside story in several chapters, he couldn't help but sigh: "On the surface, it seems that this is just a lack of equipment, but in fact the entanglement of the situation is too profound. Even my lord often sighs, he shouldn't be so pretentious. Bufan accepted Daxingtai's appointment to reorganize the Sixth Army, so that now he is riding a tiger and cannot get off the ground.
Li Tai nodded when he heard this, becoming more and more aware of the depth of the water.
In the early days of the construction of the Jiangfu military system in the history books, the sentence "Recruiting Guan Longhao to serve the army" is summarized, but the actual process is not that simple. Even if it is not very profound and complicated, the issue of changes in rights and obligations is quite troublesome.
At present, the military construction of the Western Wei Dynasty has reached a very delicate point. Although the traditional Beizhen military leaders made great contributions and worked hard in the process of stabilizing the Western Wei Dynasty, the losses in successive battles have greatly reduced their own power and are no longer enough to support them. The position and power they possess.
The emerging Guanlong tycoons joined the Western Wei army in large numbers, and their deep rural foundation made them full of vitality. However, within the political structure of the Western Wei Dynasty, they did not receive the status and treatment they deserved.
Take Li Tai himself as an example. He has been regarded as one of the most outstanding rising stars in Bafu in recent years, but he is still far behind those veteran military leaders. But when it comes to the actual manpower resources that can be dispatched, some of the founding generals even None can compare to him.
For those old military leaders, the current military construction of Bafu is just the increase of power of Daxingtai. They do not have much interest in it, so naturally they are too lazy to donate funds.
The newly joined Guanlong powerful men themselves led the clan and township party to sacrifice their lives for service. Before they were given sufficient rewards of fame, it was really too much to ask them to make greater contributions.
In the final analysis, there is still a disconnect between organizational power and productivity. Although the people and horses are organized, it is still difficult to match all aspects of maintenance work. The insufficient supply and replenishment of armor is only a manifestation of the exposed contradiction.
It is also very simple to solve this matter. It is just that all parties involved must bear with each other for the sake of the country and make concessions. Next year's battle of Jade Bi will be an excellent turning point. Inspired by such a huge strategic turn and beautiful vision, any internal conflicts can be given up and we can make the cake bigger first!
However, if this kind of thing is divorced from the actual situation and being half a step ahead is enough to kill someone, Li Tai really doesn't dare to look for exciting blind operations.
Before the conversation between the two men in the hall ended, there was another loud and insulting sound outside the official office. Someone glanced at the soldiers who followed several chapters in the official office, and then retreated. Apparently the time was not arranged well, and they bumped into each other. Come together.
Li Tai also felt a headache when he saw this scene. What the hell is this? He has held many official positions, but this is the first time that Kai Cao has been so aggrieved as this.
Since Yuwentai allowed himself to hold this position concurrently, at least he couldn't get out and throw him out before the end of this year's parade. Do he have to squat here and let others humiliate him?
This is naturally not Li Tai's style of doing things, and just now he was still planning how to muddy the water to enrich his own pockets.
There is no need to think about solving this problem at its source and fundamentals. Even if he has an idea, he would not dare to do it. But if this situation can be slightly reversed in the short term, the key is to cope with the Great Reading in the near future, and it is not completely impossible.
After a conversation with Li Tai, Ji Zhang stood up and left. It was routine to come to Kai Cao's office to demand armor, but since Li Tai was the one who made the decision now, of course he had to give him face, and it was better not to block the door and insult him again.
"Now that you're here, there's no need to rush there. It's not too late to stay here and have dinner before leaving."
Li Tai stood up and said to stay, even if you leave, there may be a few waves of people asking for supplies later, so just stay, it can also help me block some bad luck.
After hearing this, I felt a bit dumbfounded in several chapters. I came to collect debts but was detained by the debtor. What is the reason?
However, he also knew that Kai Cao was in trouble right now, and this official office was located in the newly built military city. Li Tai did not lead many troops here. If some reckless people came to cause trouble later, it was hard to say what kind of collision would happen. , so he stayed first and reported what happened here to his lord Shuohui.
Then several groups of people came over, but when they saw several chapters leading the crowd, they didn't stay here to cause trouble. After all, everyone is just putting on a show and using Kai Cao as a punching bag. There is really no need for each other to compete for this opportunity.
After Li Tai understood the inside story, he simply ignored Kai Cao's case. This matter could not be solved internally by Kai Cao, so he could only find ways to make up for it elsewhere.
The main reason why everyone doesn't respect Kai Cao enough now is that they already know the details of Kai Cao and don't expect to get anything out of this.
To change this situation, the first step is to reverse the active and passive relationship between each other, so that everyone has a more urgent demand for Kai Cao, and based on this demand, a batch of armor materials can be extorted from them.
Li Taina knew very well about doing this kind of thing. After thinking about it for a while, an idea formed in his mind, and he immediately bent down at his desk to write a memorial: Kai Cao was looking through the library and found a batch of books from the Taihe period. I have the drawings of armored warships and requested to rush to make a batch of armored warships to reward the ceremonial officials of the Kaifu to strengthen their ceremonial guards on the day of the grand parade. I asked for Daxingtai's approval.
The meaning is also very simple. Now there is a new batch of limited-time limited skins. If you guys want it, please give me krypton gold! It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, no one is embarrassed. I don't think any bastard would dare to send people to my office to cause trouble again. I won't pay attention to you even if the donation is too small!
