Chapter 586 Accompanying the Northern Patrol
After listening to Li Tai's analysis, Yu Wentai did not immediately express his opinion on the matter. After pondering for a while, he said: "Can Boshan tell me in detail about the story of King Yueyang, the governor of Yongzhou in the Liang Kingdom?"
"This disciple was originally the son of Xiao Tong, the former crown prince of the Liang Kingdom. After his father's death, Emperor Liang did not use this direct descendant as his heir, but instead turned his third son Xiao Gang as his heir. Therefore, these disciples deeply hated this... …”
After Li Tai heard this question, he recounted the ethical disputes of the Xiao family, including his step-by-step strengthening of cooperation with Xiao Jin. Of course, the business cooperation between them based on the Han River was not concealed.
After all, it is impossible to hide the flow of so much wealth. Although Yuwentai's sight is not as good as the Han River, Longyou is always under his control. Many merchants from Longyou come to Guanzhong and are then distributed to various places. You can think of it with a little thought.
However, Li Tai would certainly not disclose the specific business volume to Yuwentai, and Yuwentai would not have thought that he occupies an absolutely dominant position from source to end. He would probably only think that he would use his power to share part of the profits in a certain link. .
The Sifang City in Longyou is covered by various parties' shareholdings and nostalgic sentiments. Li Tai's real method of controlling Sifang City is not to tightly control the city and its land. First of all, many Longyou sons and daughters work under his command, and each other's future for governance The binding is profound, and the sales of Longyou's goods after entering the customs is the real core. Even though Dugu Xin had lost control of Longyou, the place where the business was realized was not in Longyou at all.
Due to the limited productivity in Guanzhong, the demand and market for luxury goods are just like that. Those with the strongest ability to receive goods are the local tycoons with large amounts of silk in their hands rather than the has-been dignitaries in Beijing.
After receiving the goods, they went south or north according to the route provided by Li Tai. The final completion of trade and return of profits were completed outside the Western Wei Dynasty. As for the channels for the circulation of commercial goods in Guanzhong, they are the Jindu Road and Bridge channels that were originally controlled by the local government and were sold and bought by Li Tai last year.
Many links in this are closely related and independent of each other. Each link has a close relationship with Li Tai, and he plays a different role in it. It is deeply embedded in the entire social structure and division of labor of the Western Wei Dynasty. It is difficult to Make it a point to see the whole thing at a glance.
Naturally, Yu Wentai didn't know that the handsome young man in front of him was the biggest rat in the country. When he heard Li Tai talk about how he was worried about the large amount of goods coming from Longxi to the south and the increasing trend of extravagance in Beijing, he came up with a plan to cooperate with Xiao from Xiangyang. They cooperated with each other to sell goods, and relied on the benefits of trade to recruit immigrants and build water conservancy facilities in Jingzhou.
Of course Yu Wentai knew what was going on in Jingzhou. His confidant Sun Jian had been running the business there for seven years without any improvement.
Li Tai has only been in the country for more than a year, and he took over the dilapidated Jingzhou that was looted by Wang Sizheng. He was actually able to directly destroy the upper limit of Chang Sun Jian's governance in the town for many years. He compared Chang Sun Jian to someone with cerebral palsy, and he was even embarrassed. He greeted Li Tai in the hall and deliberately found an excuse to hide out.
Yu Wentai's previous sigh was more than just talk. He was really curious about how Li Tai managed to turn stone into gold. At this time, when he heard that Li Tai Qiao used the benefits of business and trade to assist politics, his curiosity was also gained. A certain amount of satisfaction.
When he heard that Li Tai had gained a large number of people in the enemy territory Xiangyang several times, and had not suffered any retaliation from Xiangyang, but his relationship with the Yueyang King Xiao Qi was getting closer and closer, Yu Wentai couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but Zhu sighed and said: "The Lord of Liang is really old and foolish. He does not use talents to govern the country, nor does he judge the loyal and traitors, but only the blood. He actually promoted this family traitor to the palace and indulged his disciples to enjoy the enemy. How can his country be able to do so?" Undefeated!”
Hearing this, Li Tai subconsciously glanced at the hall again to make sure that Brother Sabao was still not in the hall, and then his eyes fell back on Yu Wentai, and he sighed in his heart: How can you still have the nerve to criticize others?
Of course, Yu Wentai could not be so foresight. When he heard that Li Tai was not only outstanding in domestic affairs, but also achieved such outstanding results in the external united front, he couldn't help but sigh: "Boshan is indeed my confidant, he is so talented." , It always makes people marvel and regret that it was too late. There are many experiences in the former, but it is still unavoidable to sigh! If Jingzhou had used Boshan earlier, it would have been like a horse in Jianghan!"
Of course, Li Tai still has to remain humble on his face, but he agrees in his heart. If you can really trust others and delegate all power to me, I will work hard to make you live like an emperor while you are alive. !
Of course, this is just a fantasy. This group of veterans from Beizhen believe in everything, but they don’t fucking believe in loyalty. They shout loudly but think dirty in their hearts. Only Li Tai also has a strong heart, so he doesn't always lament that he has been tainted and unclean.
When he heard that Yu Wentai didn't care about his deduction and prediction of the Jiankang situation in Nanliang, but asked about Yueyang King Xiao Jin, Li Tai knew that it would be difficult to convince Yu Wentai to invest manpower and material resources in Jingzhou.
For one thing, the situation in Nanliang is still unclear, and all the variable deductions are based on speculation. If you invest in it, you will inevitably be a bit blind. Secondly, the Eastern Wei army is still besieging Yingchuan, and it is unclear whether the troops from Guanzhong are suddenly deployed to Jingzhou to stand by. It is not known whether it will trigger the Eastern Wei to be on guard and attack.
The interests of Sanze Miobei are not as attractive to Yuwentai as Heluo. Once he decides to invest, it will be an adjustment of the entire regime's strategy. Of course, full assumptions and trade-offs must be made.
But in the final analysis, Yu Wentai is poor and short-minded. Especially when he has just lost a big one and is still enduring the cutting of his flesh with a dull knife, he naturally tends to be conservative when making trade-offs and does not dare to make rash advances.
If it were someone else's proposal, Yu Wentai might have rejected it directly, but in his mind, Li Tai was not an ordinary person after all.
So after thinking for a while, he continued: "You can see the depth by watching people crossing the river. Although He Liuhun was punished by God, his gang members and thieves are still fierce and stubborn, and we can't hope to defeat him in a battle. And Hou Jing and others This is also a lesson for those who watch. Therefore, before Langya Zhenxianggong passed away, he still earnestly advised me to be harmonious within myself. Now I feel more and more sincere and good advice.
At this time of turmoil and turmoil among thieves, reaffirming morality and justice is also a top priority. Boshan, you are brave and majestic, and everything you say or do can inspire people and identify with you. Now that I hear about this plan to strategize Jianghan, I feel even more impressed that if we pay little attention to national affairs, we can hope to grow stronger! But last year, when the country's military was about to be revitalized, it suffered a sudden defeat at Heyang. Now it's still unclear whether the military's morale and material resources will be available, so I really don't dare to make any rash plans..."
Yu Wentai did not directly and bluntly reject Li Tai, but confessed to him the personnel worries that the Taiwanese government was facing now.
After hearing this, Li Tai felt a little helpless. Yu Wentai almost said, "I don't trust your father-in-law anymore." If we continue to talk about this topic, Li Tai will probably have to imitate Wu Qi and kill his wife to seek a general.
"Whenever I have to do something, I always have no distractions and don't care about other things. I see that things are far less grand than the Lord. I saw that the chaos in Nanliang was over, and I took advantage of this to study deeply. I regret that my plan was inappropriate and presumptuous. I am disturbing the Lord, please forgive me.”
He clasped his fists and lowered his head again and said, although the Taiwan government has no plan to increase troops in Jingzhou for the time being, it cannot withstand the next change in the situation. He first expressed his attitude. If you really want to wait until the plan is implemented, you will not let me take responsibility. Execution, then don’t blame me Hehehe!
"It's not that you, Boshan, are presumptuously causing trouble, but that the country's fortunes are difficult and not enough to fully realize the lofty ambitions of young men like you. But I have written down what Boshan said. There will be changes in the coming days and outside." If you don’t give it to Boshan, who else will you use?”
Yuwentai sighed again, looking at Li Tai and speaking in a sincere tone.
The issue of increasing troops in Jingzhou was put aside for the time being. After Yu Wentai learned more about Jingzhou's military and political affairs, he then spoke again: "I heard from Boshan that the military and political affairs in Jingzhou are in order. I wonder if you can do it in the future." Delayed return to town for a short period of time?”
Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, you are just going to fall if you don't give me more troops, why do you still want to detain me?
Before he could think of how to answer, Yu Wentai had already said, "Bo Shan should know that this year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Communist Party of China was touring various places, but due to a sudden emergency in the capital, he had to stop his return. Fortunately, God blessed Wei Tong and turned the danger around. .
But there are still many places that have not yet been patrolled, including the northern states where you have worked very hard on Boshan. It is also thanks to the power of Boshan that the place has transformed from a barren land to a governed land. It would be great if you, Boshan, could accompany me on patrols and inquire about people's affairs. "
If it was something else, Li Tai certainly didn't want to agree. He was still waiting for the new dungeon to open up for the first time, so how could he be in the mood to do anything else. But when I heard that he was asked to follow him on a tour of northern Shaanxi, I still couldn't refuse.
Although his focus is now on Mianbei, the northern Shaanxi area is also one of the core foundations. Not to mention the large number of personnel involved in Xihe County, Suizhou and other places, Li Yunxin and others have also arranged to go to Jinyang to prepare for contact and rescue the Jinyang family and take the opportunity to This line of selling.
If Yu Wentai goes by himself, Li Tai would be more relieved. Even if he sees that the governance of northern Shaanxi has been effective, at most he will only strengthen the upper-level management to transfer some money and food to the Tai government, and will not casually change the stable operation of the local area and Effective order.
But for the still passionate Prince Yuan Qin, it is very difficult to judge the trajectory of his actions. If he really does something sexy and disrupts the local order, he will be in tears.
He went on a tour of northern Shaanxi and probably came back in a month or two. At that time, Hou Jing might still be negotiating with the Nanliang monarchs and educating them about the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Even if Li Tai rushes back in a hurry, there will be no major changes in Jianghan until the situation in Jiankang changes further. He can only wait, but he can go out with him. If you really dare to cause trouble for me then, I will bury you two together!
