Chapter 268 Where is Boshan?

Chapter 268 Where is Boshan?

The Taiwan government is still very efficient in doing things. Li Tai hasn't left here yet, and various envoys have been sent out.

Huazhou City is the headquarters of Bafu, and most of the generals of the army have residences here. Even if they lead their troops out of town, their families and subordinates will receive reward orders from Bafu immediately.

In order to protect Li Tai's personal safety, Yu Wentai sent a team of soldiers to guard him when he came and went.

Of course, Li Tai did not refuse this. After all, this matter was not a very happy thing in the end. How many Internet-addicted teenagers in later generations spent money crazily while gnashing their teeth and scolding the dog planner. Compared with those industrious warriors, the military leaders he was going to manipulate were undoubtedly much more effective and destructive.

When he returned to the military city, there were already some pedestrians dressed as slaves on the street asking for the location of Kai Cao's official office.

He did not stop to wait and see, and went straight back to the official office, summoned all his subordinates in the office, and issued several orders.

First of all, starting from this day on, Kaicao's official office strictly checks the entrance and exit, and no one is allowed to be brought in without the permission of the official's warrant. Secondly, all personnel information within the Kai Cao Department is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world. Violators of these two prohibitions will be severely punished.

After announcing the two orders, Li Tai still had some unfinished thoughts. He had not been working with the people in the hall for a long time, and he was not familiar with each other. He did not intend to develop a tacit understanding through long-term running-in, so he was ready to find something to do to establish his authority.

He looked up and down at the layout in the main hall, and his eyes swept over everyone's face one by one. Huangfu Fan, who was standing at the front, stepped out of the class, knelt in front of the case and said with a face of shame: "It's wrong to be in a humble position. Because I didn't know that the governor had set this rule, I told my family to come to the office to greet him in the morning. Although it was not past noon, I had already spoken out and asked the governor to take responsibility."

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately became happy and felt that this guy was really a clever guy. The reason he offended me last year was because his power at that time was not worthy of being treated seriously. I have made progress this year, and other people's attitudes have also changed.

Now that Huangfu Fan took the initiative to stand up and cooperate with the performance, Li Tai stopped being polite and directly waved his hand and said: "You can correct your mistakes if you know they are wrong. It is still forgivable. Huangfu joins the army and dares to surrender, and just go to the corridor to receive twenty whippings."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all looked shocked. They really didn't expect His Majesty Li Tai to be so harsh. He would be whipped twenty times for just one mistake. This was even if he took the initiative to admit his mistake. The normal punishment would not be more than a hundred. count?

Huangfu Fan's face also became a little unhappy. He didn't expect Li Tai to be serious and play so cruelly.

But now that the gesture has been made, if he goes back on his word, he is really not a human being inside and out. In addition, he has already prepared in his heart that he may be publicly revenged. It is not that hard to accept, so he bites his teeth. , paused and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for leniently commuting the sentence..."

Without waiting for the magnanimous Governor Li to give another order, two strong soldiers marched into the hall and lifted Huangfu Fan out. Soon the sounds of whipping and Huangfu Fan's screams could be heard outside the hall.

Every sound touched the heartstrings of everyone in the hall. They might not be able to tell that it was an act, but even if it was a joke, they and the new chief officer in the hall probably couldn't afford it.

Twenty lashes were more or less, even if they were all struck on the thick flesh of the back and buttocks. After Huangfufan gritted his teeth and suffered, he lay on the torture rack for a while and was unable to get up.

"Huangfu violated the prohibition of joining the army and should not have been severely punished before the order was issued. Just because I have worked with you for a short time and are not familiar with each other, I am afraid that my temporary indulgence may make you misunderstand that there is a big violation of the law. Therefore, Let me let you know what my style is like.”

As Li Tai spoke, he raised his hand and ordered: "Take Huangfu Junjun to another room to treat his wounds. The office will give him a hundred pieces of silk to fill the soup and medicine. There will be no more work until the injury is healed."

As soon as these words came out, there was another short uproar in the hall. Before, they were naturally frightened by Li Tai's harshness, and were full of pity for Huangfu Fan, their old boss, but now they were amazed by Li Tai's generosity, and their hearts were full of envy for Huangfu Fan.

Although Li Tai used public funds for rewards, and these public funds were needed to maintain the food and office expenses of the officials in the department for a long period of time, it could be said that he was depriving everyone of their food and drink to show that he was clear about punishment and reward, but at this moment everyone But he had no opinion at all, and the authority to say the same thing was established invisibly.

When Huangfu Fan outside the hall learned that he had received this reward, the sadness on his face was instantly wiped away. When he was helped up by the soldiers, he repeatedly shouted in a weak but excited tone that he would wait for his injury to recover. , I will definitely share the work with the Governor again.

His family has a surname of Xizhou, and the reward of a hundred pieces of silk may not be in his eyes. What makes him most gratified and happy is Li Tai's style and attitude of clear rewards and punishments. After this incident, the old grievances can be settled. If the relationship between them can be carefully handled in the future, they may be able to accumulate some friendship as colleagues.

After integrating the internal mood, Li Tai began to prepare for the next thing.

At this moment, some generals' servants and subordinates had gathered outside the Kai Cao official office. They all rushed to receive the ceremonial utensils as soon as possible after receiving the reward order from the Tai government. Some of them had come here before to show off their power. By.

These people were not aware that the situation had changed, but they knew that Kai Cao was still weak and could be bullied. When they arrived in front of the official office, they started shouting loudly, complaining that no one came out to greet them.

However, these people soon discovered the different atmosphere in the government office. The team of Taifu guards standing in front of the hall were extraordinary in appearance, posture and spirit. Their uniforms and weapons were also uniform and distinct, which made people know their origins at a glance.

Facing these Taifu guards, the slaves did not dare to act presumptuously. They shrank their heads and waited for the introduction of the people in the hall.

Several armor officers subconsciously wanted to go out of the hall to greet them. Just as they raised their legs, they heard a cold snort from the hall. They hurriedly stood still again. Although they were a little nervous, they were inexplicably excited.

Li Tai was not in a hurry to summon those people. He read the books about the limited skins and ceremonial armors in the hall, and sent his subordinates to various arsenals inside and outside the city to transfer the relevant materials back to the office for unified storage and control.

When these subordinates followed the order and went out, there were many anxious subordinates from various families waiting in the yard, shouting and asking when the hall would have time to meet them.

Seeing those unfriendly faces, the subordinates of the armor department were subconsciously panicked at first, and then they felt relieved when they looked back at the direct hall. When they turned back to look at each other, they had a sneer on their lips, snorted with a hint of sarcasm, and then retracted their gazes, walked out with their heads held high as if no one was around, and the refreshing feeling of finally being able to hold their heads high made people feel like they were floating in the air.

Li Tai dragged on in the hall until the afternoon, and more and more people gathered inside and outside the government office. Although there was a team of Taifu guards in front of the direct hall to keep the place in check, there were still many people who came forward to ask who the envoy in the hall was, and each of them reported their family background.

Not to mention these servants who were relying on the power of the tiger, even if their respective masters came here, whether to treat them with courtesy depended on Li Tai's mood.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Li Tai ordered people to carry two boxes out of the hall and walk through the crowd to collect their respective name cards and documents. As for the questions asked by those people, he did not respond to a single word.

After collecting these name cards, Li Tai ordered his subordinates to drive these people out, set up fences outside the government office, and posted notices that the armored officer was busy with important matters in the afternoon and would not receive outsiders in the office.

If the armored officer dared to be so arrogant before, these people would probably tear down the government office when they got angry.

But at this moment, although everyone was still angry and the shouts of dissatisfaction came one after another, they seemed a little lacking in confidence, and no one dared to really step forward and take action. Of course, in addition to the creation of the atmosphere, the key lies in the shining knives in the hands of the guards of the Taiwan government.

In the afternoon, no one from outside the office was received. Li Tai was not just showing off. After lunch in the office, he led his entourage to leave the military city and headed straight to the official smelting workshop in the north of Huazhou City.

Xiayang Mountain in the north of Huazhou City is full of military settlements and smelting workshops. It is the core logistics and military industry of Huazhou Bafu. Under normal circumstances, it is strictly forbidden for strangers to enter and peek.

Although Li Tai has been in Bafu for a long time, he has never been here. It was not until this time that he was appointed as the military assistant of the Armor Department and his authority was matched that he got a pass.

He came to Xiayang Mountain and stayed there for three days. Taking advantage of his position, he made a detailed inspection of the smelting workshop here. By the way, he transferred more than a hundred craftsmen under the Armor Department to supervise the production of ceremonial artifacts needed for the grand review and returned to the Huazhou office with him.

He lived a fulfilling life here, but Huazhou City was in a mess. When the generals learned that the Bafu rewarded them with ceremonial relics, they were all very happy.

Although these things are not enough for food and clothing, people like them don’t have to worry about food and clothing. They have worked hard for these years. In addition to being granted titles for their wives and children, they also want to be in front of others.

In particular, the ceremonial relics during the Taihe period have a special meaning for the sons of the Zhenbing. The capital was moved to Luoyang during the Taihe period, and the national fortune was more magnificent, but it was the beginning of the loss of these Zhenbing. Back then, their ancestors were left in Beizhen to starve, but now their descendants have finally won the majesty of the year with their own hard work!

Therefore, some generals stationed around Huazhou City are also very concerned about this, and they send people to inquire about the progress every day.

At first, the servants only reported that Kai Cao was arrogant, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, they were asking for help from others, and it was not them who were being bullied. So they warned the servants to be tolerant and not to cause any trouble at this critical moment.

But soon, the situation turned weird. Kai Cao was no longer just arrogant, but the official in charge simply disappeared!

Soon, there was a popular activity in and outside Huazhou City to find Li Boshan, and there were generals and troops wandering around the city and searching.
