Li Mu dismounted when he was far away, and strode towards Li Tai who was standing at the door of the manor to greet him, with his hands clasped in fists and a look of joy on his face.
"Mr. Lang, you are so arrogant and hard to find! I went to the administrative office and was told that I had returned to the city. When I went into the city to visit Captain Gao, I found out that I was living in the countryside. After wandering around a few places, I finally caught up with you!"
As he approached, Li Mu expressed to Li Tai his attitude of diligently visiting during the past two days in a complaining tone.
After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and said: "It is true that I have been busy these past few days and my whereabouts are uncertain. If Duke Wu An wants to meet, he can just tell the envoy, so why bother?"
"That would be too rude. The servant is humble and clumsy. How can I express my gratitude?"
Li Mu quickly shook his head and said, and then bowed to Li Taishen: "Your Majesty, I have been told before. I am surprised and ashamed. What I am happy about is not only that I have been awarded the important position, but also that my husband regards me as a worthy person."
A good friend and confidant who plans to work together! In the past, I showed myself to be a husband by being clumsy and arrogant, but I often regret it..."
"Wu'an Gongangzang husband, if you are still clinging to the past, then I will also regret recommending someone who is not good! Preface: Watching and helping each other, and prospering together in the world, I also often warn myself, so when the Lord asked, even though I thought of it
Mr. Wu An, his words and reasoning are very profound, and he will also be able to deal with matters in a practical way."
Seeing that Li Mu wanted to bring up old matters again, Li Tai waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, turned around and invited him into the village.
"Alas, I am narrow-minded and rigid, so I shouldn't worry about the past. But my gratitude is genuine and empty words. This feeling will be reflected in the aftermath!"
Li Mu said quickly, his gratitude to Li Tai beyond words.
It's no wonder that he made this gesture. The governor of a state has a high position and is not something he can do just because he wants to. Although Li Muzhi has a life-saving feeling for Yu Wentai and is his absolute confidant, he wants to leave the town, and his qualifications and
There is still a hurdle in ability, and it is hard to say when this step will be overcome.
The governor of a state was in charge of military affairs, and he was named Fang Bo, which was also an iconic resume of a strong minister and general. Even if Li Mu enjoyed great favor, without such a resume, there would not be much room for advancement in his official career.
Although there are three heroes in their family, the eldest brother Li Xian is in his hometown in Yuanzhou, the second brother Li Yuan is guarding the front line in western Henan, and Li Mu is a close military attaché for the Taiwan government. They have both internal and external positions, but things have happened recently.
Some transformations.
Not long ago, Daxingtai recalled Cai You, who was guarding the east, and transferred him to the governor of Yuanzhou, replacing Li Xian. Although this is not a suppression of the Li family, it also vaguely indicates the Li family's basic power in Yuanzhou.
It's too strong and needs a little balance.
The Li family always wants to respond to this. The best way is undoubtedly to transfer some of the local people to show that they have no intention of separatizing Yuanzhou.
However, Yizhou, where Li Yuan was based, was too far away from his hometown, and the powerful people in Yuzhou also had their own spheres of influence. If there was no war, the masses would inevitably become suspicious if they rashly increased the number of troops stationed in the army.
At this time, Li Mu was appointed as the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, which gave the Xiangshi tribe an excellent place to settle down. They did not have to occupy the countryside to draw attention to themselves, nor did they have to go far away to be sheltered by others.
The Hu population in Dongxia Prefecture is severe and there is almost no order. It may still be a dangerous place for others, but the Li family is originally a powerful person in Yuanzhou with many tribes. Gaoping Town, where they have lived for a long time, is also a place where miscellaneous Hus live. With these Hus
Has extensive experience in dealing with departments.
Moreover, the local Jihu forces in Dongxia Prefecture suffered heavy losses one after another. After Li Mu became the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, he could also transfer some of the Hu tribes from Yuanzhou to other places and open up new forces and areas of influence in Beizhou.
In addition, Li Mu's appointment as Dongxia Prefecture was recommended by Li Tai, a direct member of the Li family in Longxi, and he was full of goodwill. No wonder Li Mu was so excited.
After entering the village, Li Mu saw Li Tun and others who were still transferring ordnances with the people of Li Taizhuang. Seeing so many armored sword weapons, Li Mu couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Why did Langjunzhuang purchase such weapons?"
Duo Jia Dao?"
After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said: "During the previous parade at Baishui, the Lord asked me to build three defense cities along Luoshui to prepare troops to guard against bandits. Gu Gukaifu knew that I was weak, so he gave these armored horses and equipment to me.
Help business.”
After Li Mu heard this, he immediately showed a look of shock. He carefully looked at the sophisticated armor and horse weapons, and said with half envy and half suspicion: "Everything here is a gift from Dugu Kaifu? I have heard that Dugu
He is known as the founder of a noble family, but he never expected that he would be so deeply in love with his husband..."
"It's also Aiwujiwu. I used to be favored and supported by my late Grand Master Heba. Due to old friendship, Dugu Kaifu also gave me kindness and charity. Although I felt ashamed, but the money was really tight, I accepted it with all my heart and heart.
Thank you, I will repay you later!”
Li Tai spoke again, his gratitude was beyond words, and he gave Li Mu a wink from time to time. Look at how kind and kind Dugu Xin is and has given me such a great help. Don't talk nicely but still pay lip service.
But if it doesn’t happen, I will accept whatever is given to me, I don’t have to choose!
Li Mu sighed again after hearing this. He had been in command of the Sixth Army of Taifu for a long time and had seen a lot of armor, horses, weapons and staffs, but none of them belonged to him.
When he saw Li Tai receiving hundreds of people's well-equipped weapons as gifts at once, he was filled with envy and greed. He also realized that he was a little embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed to express his gratitude.
However, he was the youngest in the family, had little involvement in the property and property, and did not have much control. He did not dare to make any promises lightly for a while, but kept this matter secretly in his heart.
Li Tai originally wanted to stay with Li Tun and others to entertain him with wine and food, but when Li Tun saw that he had a visitor, he said that he wanted to return to resume his duties, and left with his troops.
After receiving such a great gift, Li Tai couldn't express his feelings, so he went into the warehouse to sort through it, and bought some goods produced in the factory as gifts, and sent them to Dugu Xin's home.
After finishing these tasks, Li Tai returned to the central hall to entertain Li Mu.
Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and felt a little restless in the hall. When he saw Li Taixing entering, he quickly stood up, pointed at the papers piled up on Li Tai's head and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang is really diligent.
Ah, even when I live in the countryside, I don’t forget to review and handle affairs. No wonder I achieve excellence in everything I do and am a leader among my peers!”
"It is the duty of the inferior to live up to one's favor, and it is not worth boasting about."
After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and motioned for Li Mu to take a seat. He also sat down, raised his hand to put away the papers, and then said: "But Mr. Wu An misunderstood the words on the eucalyptus, and they are not related to any affairs. Changle
I don’t dare to live up to this entrustment. I plan my studies every day, so I’ll take a look at you at my leisure today.”
"So that's it..."
After Li Mu heard this, he smiled awkwardly, but then he showed a thoughtful expression and asked again: "So it turns out that Lang Junzhuang also lectures to the younger generation? The famous family is famous for its knowledge and is well-known in the world. Duke Changle sent his son to
This can be said to be a shrewd intention!”
"Learning helps to develop wisdom and know etiquette, but to be able to achieve these two things is not to say that learning is microscopic. I am just a junior and a latecomer in the world. My family has a deep knowledge and I have not mastered one or two. I dare not call others a role model, but I have
Those who are kind to you should entrust them according to their feelings, and you should try your best to follow the good teachings."
Li Tai replied casually, motioning to the door servant to put away the test papers of Shu Feng, and then looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Now that Mr. Wu An has been appointed, when will you plan to go to town?"
Li Mu put away his thoughts, pondered for a while and then replied: "I know that there is a lot of wilderness in Dongxia Prefecture. Since I have been appointed, the sooner I go to the town, the better. However, the Lord is still patrolling the river defense, and there are still things to do now.
Some deliveries have not yet been decided. Before I ask for orders, I would also like to ask Mr. Lang how the situation is there. He should not be able to go to town until a month later."
When Li Tai heard this, he felt that he had not chosen the wrong partner. At least Li Mu would come and ask how to cooperate with him before taking office. If he had replaced him with another more senior North Town military leader, they might not care about him.
Any ideas.
Li Tai then recounted what he had seen and heard in northern Shaanxi, and said that the troops from Beihua Prefecture and Xia Prefecture were still encircling and suppressing Jihu in Dongxia Prefecture. Li Mu might as well be a little late, so he wouldn't be in danger.
What kind of dispute did they have with each other?
Although everyone is working for the imperial court, these warriors dare to fight in front of the Daxingtai even if the wine is good. If there is a dispute involving specific interests, it may be necessary to have a general who is outside and the king's life is determined.
I can't stand it anymore.
Li Tai's main task in the short term was to expand the armed forces of his subordinate township regiments and to wipe out the bandits in the lower reaches of Luoshui River. Before building Baishui, he did not have much time and energy to devote to Dongxia Prefecture.
However, since Li Mu came to ask, he had to delineate each other's scope of authority, so he went on to talk about his plan to build a canal between Luoshui and Kulichuan.
The military and political power of Dongxia Prefecture naturally belongs to Li Mu, the official governor, but the canal construction project does not require the governor's office to be responsible. The corresponding channel management and the resulting profit returns naturally belong to the Dushui Administration Bureau.
Li Mu himself had no experience in running a political party and was not entangled in this issue. When Li Tai raised it, he nodded and agreed.
Kulichuan is originally the boundary river between Beihua Prefecture and Dongxia Prefecture. If he wants to intervene in direct management, his authority will inevitably cause friction and conflict with some Hui from Beihua Prefecture. With Li Tai as a buffer, it will also be beneficial to each other.
A good thing.
Once this aspect has been finalized, there is nothing else that requires in-depth discussion. The governance foundation of Dongxia Prefecture is really poor. Most of the counties and counties were settled by overseas Chinese, and there are almost no registered residents.
Li Tai did not plan to bring Mao Shijian and others who stayed in King Hao Ren's fortress back for the time being. After the construction of the canal was completed, he planned to place another defensive city there.
Through the Kuli River, he can extend his influence directly to the vicinity of the Yellow River, and perhaps have some friendly discussions with the forces in the Luliang Mountains on the other side of the river. If there is a chance, he can even cross the river and climb the Luliang Mountains to congratulate Big Brother.
