Chapter 271 Poly-A White Water
Following the example of several senior generals, other generals also donated a batch of armor to Kai Cao one after another according to their own capabilities.
At the last count, the total amount of armor received by Kai Cao was quite considerable. The armor alone can be used to piece together thousands of full-body iron armors. If combined with different components such as paint armor and leather armor, it can be enough to arm thousands of people.
According to the current level of productivity and national strength of the Western Wei Dynasty, even the main force of the Sixth Army cannot be equipped to wear armor and be armed to the teeth. This batch of armor will not be transferred to specific battalions. It will mainly be allocated to the generals, who will allocate the troops for use according to the actual situation and needs.
Therefore, these thousands of armors have greatly alleviated the urgent need for Kai Cao to dispatch almost nothing. He can follow the instructions of the Taifu and give the armor to some of the main elites for use.
Of course, before the funds are actually allocated, work must be organized to remove rust from these armors and maintain them.
The Beizhen military leaders have been wandering around fighting for a long time. Although they have been established in Kansai for more than ten years, there are still very few who have truly established a stable system to support the army. Therefore, many generals have donated money. They were some old things. Li Tai seriously suspected that they might even have handed over the heirlooms from their ancestors' fight with Rouran in Six Towns.
Although it seems a bit shabby to say this, the reality is that many people who have achieved great things do not talk about the rough road in the early stages of starting a business. Even when they have reached a certain scale, they are still ignorant and do not know what the prospects are.
Today, the Western Wei Dynasty has entered a critical stage of uniting Guanlong's powerful forces and building elite soldiers, but Li Tai still feels a strong sense of being a Caotai team.
Therefore, people's efforts are important, but opportunities are more important. The so-called man can conquer nature, most of the time it is just a self-motivation. But even if you can't beat the odds, there's no point in blaming others. Just be yourself and do your best when the opportunity comes, and you'll enjoy generous rewards.
Not only Li Tai understands this truth, but Zhao Gui also seems to understand it. This guy's performance this time really impressed Li Tai.
Among the thousands of armors, nearly half were produced by Zhao Gui alone, and they were of excellent quality and well maintained. There were even some exquisite armors such as Mingguang, Shanwen, and Chainmail. Li Tai would have drooled at the sight. If it wasn't true, It's not easy to hide it from others, and I even want to keep it privately.
Although Zhao Gui is better at preserving his strength, he was absent from several battles between the two Wei Dynasties and was the main general participating in the war. He also suffered a lot of losses. In recent years, he has rarely had the opportunity to sit on one side. This time he brought out so many armors and weapons, which can be said to be a bloodletting.
Li Tai didn't think that this guy was spending so much money just to win applause from the crowd. He must have seen some tangible benefits before he was willing to do it, maybe hoping to take a step forward in his position.
As an old man in Wuchuan, and as the first person to propose to support Yu Wentai as the main leader, Zhao Gui has been unhappy in the past two years. After the Battle of Mangshan, his reputation was greatly damaged, and he was even deprived of his official title. Now he has been deprived of it. Although his official title was restored, there was no progress in his position.
Not to mention Yu Jin and Li Bi, the two popular figures who proved to be the dominant figures at that time, even Shuo Hui, a little brother from Wuchuan, had already overpowered Zhao Gui in terms of power. If he doesn't work hard, this guy's future may really be in jeopardy.
This time, the generals donated armor to Kai Cao in exchange for ceremonial cultural relics. The artifacts each received were secondary. The most important thing was to use this opportunity to restore smooth communication between Yuwentai and the generals.
Although it could not be said that separation and disobedience were true before, as the situation develops, after all, there are some words and thoughts that are difficult to express directly. In the long run, they will inevitably become suspicious of each other.
Li Tai could not understand the tacit emotional understanding of these town soldiers who "were brothers in their hearts". Now that Kai Cao's affairs had been greatly eased, there was certainly no need for him to stay in Kai Cao's official office all day long.
After all, this is just a temporary mission. His duties as the Water Envoy and the Governor of the Three Defenses City are more important than Kai Cao's affairs. If there is no material supply and the men and horses can't arrive on time, what's the point!
However, before letting go of Kai Cao's affairs, Li Tai still made a dazzling series of personnel arrangements, and transferred nearly a hundred of Kai Cao's subordinate forging craftsmen to be used as expatriates.
Kai Cao's personnel records are still very strict. After all, when Li Tai was working on the standardization of office procedures in the Taiwan government, in addition to the legal examination, it also included the format of Cao Cao's accounting books, filing and review management, etc., so that Li Tai didn't even It is best to cancel the names of these craftsmen directly.
Although the people in Kai Cao are currently following his advice and do not dare to report his illegal operations, they cannot do things too blatantly. After thinking about it for a while, Li Tai planned to recommend Li Licheng to replace him as the Kai Cao army officer.
This guy is also a big boss. He doesn't want to hang out in the Chang'an court, so he must be given something to do. He can't always stay at home and make a living. Now Kai Cao's biggest difficulty has been solved by himself. It's easy for him to come and take charge of the incoming and outgoing materials and wait half a year to cancel his name as a craftsman.
With the experience of being reprimanded and ridiculed by Yu Wentai when he recommended Cui Quan as the governor of Beihua Prefecture, he did not dare to come forward directly this time, lest he be threatened by the boss again, otherwise this Daxingtai would be given to him. , I feel reluctant to refuse. If I don’t refuse, I won’t be able to do it for the time being.
After working together for a few days, Huangfu Fan, who joined the army in the same department, became familiar with Li Tai. He was vaguely aware of his entanglement, and one day he made a comment: "The governor is amazingly talented, and he can handle the case in a short time." Appropriate and appropriate.
Naturally, the governor cannot be restrained for a long time due to the mere case of Kai Cao, but if a certain subordinate is not allowed to give some advice, he is afraid of not handling things well. I sincerely request the Governor to select a confidant and let Liang Canjun, who has been recuperating from a humble position for many days, be recommended to the Taifu together. In this way, he can continue to listen to the virtuous voice and avoid long-term nuisance. "
When Li Tai heard this, he was very happy. He felt that he was really talented at uniting his colleagues. He could mingle with the masses wherever he went. Look, Huangfu Fan not only settled the differences with him, but also couldn't bear to let him leave!
Although doing so may be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, at least there is a reasonable excuse, which shows that we still respect Daxingtai.
"Actually, Huangfu's joining the army is not a sign of his unfulfilled talents and long-lasting delicacy. If I get the chance, I will definitely recommend Huangfu to the Taiwan government to join the army. It is not appropriate to hide this beautiful artifact in the government for a long time, but also to let the people of the state and county appreciate it. What a style!”
Li Tai also smiled and said to Huangfu Fan, "We were not familiar with him before, and this guy has a bad habit of being a bit arrogant and respectful. But after a few days of consensus, Li Tai also felt that this person was serious and orderly in doing things, and was not a good person." A stupid and incompetent person.
Although the characters in Kansai are so-so, Yu Wentai is also quite wise in digging for gold in the sand. Those who can be recruited into the Bafu and hired for a long time also have some unique skills.
Huangfu Fan was overjoyed when he heard this. Although the officials under the Bafu often participated in important secrets, their status and treatment were far inferior to those of state and county officials.
If Li Tai was just an official in the Tai government, although Huangfu Fan was afraid of getting favored by him, he didn't need to flatter him too much. But in addition to that, he also led the military and political affairs of the three defense cities. At such a young age, to antagonize him would be to lay the foundation for his own disaster. .
Kai Cao's affairs here came to an end first. Before deciding to let Li Licheng enter the government to replace him, Li Tai took the craftsmen to Baishui Manor to settle down in the name of Kai Cao joining the army.
This is not entirely a public weapon for private use. It is mid-September and people participating in the parade are gradually gathering towards Baishui. Of course, various supporting facilities must be prepared as soon as possible.
This year, it was General Yu Jin who was responsible for presiding over the preparations for the Grand Parade. Huazhou Governor Yuwen Daozi took over the position of river defense governor previously held by Li Bi. Li Tai led his team to participate in the Grand Parade for the first time this year. In order not to embarrass himself in front of others, he also had to conduct a small review of his own songs before the official start of the Grand Parade.
After receiving the notice from Su Chuo in Taifu, Li Tai had already ordered his subordinates to select the best composers to prepare for the grand review.
When he arrived at Baishui, his soldiers had been waiting in Baishui for several days. A total of 2,700 people from the three defense cities and villages were mobilized to accompany him to participate in the next parade.
Nowadays, the tribesmen are temporarily living in the vicinity of Baishui Village. What kind of clutching and clutching drills are to be carried out by such a large group of people will inevitably shake up the village and make the people uneasy. It still requires a special venue to carry out it. This requires people who have come to Baishui in advance. Apply to General Yu Jin's Mansion.
