Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"This mouthful of soft rice is a bit prickly in the mouth!"

Li Tai quickly ran to the hillside and looked at the slaves of Duguxin's family in the valley who were still wandering around the villa searching for their place. He couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of the way Dugu Miaoyin had deceived him with soft words and then attacked them with gritted teeth, he couldn't help but sigh that these Xianbei women had really hot personalities.

Seeing that the search area below was gradually expanding, he turned around and walked around the hillside from the orchard. He had no plans to come to this villa in the valley in the near future, and he only had a moment of silence in his heart for that boy Shuofeng.

After returning to the manor, he still felt a little unsafe. Before the young lady realized that he had run back, he simply changed his clothes and planned to go out to avoid the limelight.

Before that, it was just a gimmick in my mind whether to get buff or not, but seeing that this little lady made him a little restless on the first day he entered the village, I felt that I couldn't bear it. The key is to be responsible for my own mistakes. .

You still have to be realistic as a person. First, you can cash in the gifts Dugu Xin gave him before. It's just that although those gifts are valuable, they are not in great demand, and it is difficult to realize them in the market.

But soon he thought of a good market, which was the clubhouse run by brothers Heba Jingwei in Lishan.

Although he had no time to visit recently, when he met Yu Wenhu in Taifu a few days ago, the guy expressed with joy that the business was good and he had received the first dividend not long ago.

Although Li Tai didn't ask about the details of their cooperation, seeing Yu Wenhu's expression showed that the benefits must be good.

Huazhou was the headquarters of Yuwen Taiba Mansion, and Chang'an was the center of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Most of the clan courtiers who followed Emperor Xiaowu to move west settled in Chang'an. They were not the tycoons of Beizhen who had just emerged in a short period of time. They were all powerful families who were accustomed to having a lot of food in Luoyang in their early years. Naturally, they had high requirements for the enjoyment of life.

Li Tai's high-end merchandise should be sold on consignment in the club without any worries about sales. After realizing these gifts and making a fortune, Li Tai planned to officially launch a smelting and foundry workshop and build a small military factory of his own.

There are already a group of blacksmiths in He Basheng's story, and recently Li Tai has also established a relationship with the big tycoons in Hedong.

For example, Pei Han and Xue Shen, his colleagues in Xingtai Mocao, seemed polite and harmless to humans and animals, but their respective clans were powerful, and they were local tyrants that gave Gao Huan a headache.

The local forces in the Hedong area can be traced back to the end of the Three Kingdoms. After the fall of the Shu Han, a large number of Shu people were relocated to Hedong. The Xue family in Hedong is one of the representatives, and is therefore called Shu Xue.

During the Five Hu Dynasty, the Xue family in Hedong, who settled in Fenyin, gathered their clans to protect themselves. They went through the Xiongnu Han Zhao and Jiehu Shi Zhao. They were unruly and disobedient for decades. The tyrant Shi Hu of the latter Zhao led tens of thousands of troops to attack, but they could not be defeated. Its surrender.

The reason why the Hedong tycoons are so stubborn and powerful is that they have the advantage of salt and iron. Especially the salt ponds in Hedong are a very profitable business nowadays. In order to protect this important surface resource, all ethnic groups in Hedong must maintain a considerable number of private armed forces.

Xue Shen's elder brother, Xue Shan, previously served as Si Nong Shaoqing, managing military camps and forging weapons, which was based on his family's many years of tradition and accumulation.

Li Tai's friendship with these Hedong families was not very deep, but he was finally able to strike up a conversation. Before his own military industry could form a large-scale production capacity, purchasing a batch of weapons and ordnance from them was also an option.

With this in mind, he asked his family members to pack up some of the best gifts and divide them into two parts. One part was given to Gao Zhongmi as a daily gift, and the other part was intended to be sent to Lishan as a sample for consignment.

As soon as he and his entourage left the manor on horseback, several swollen and embarrassed figures were escorted from the valley by several strong servants from the Dugu family. They looked at Li Zhusheng who turned to leave, and shouted with a mournful face. Said: "Zugisa is in charge, where is my brother? He can't, can't..."

At Gao Zhongmi's residence in Huazhou City, there was singing and music coming from the central hall. Gao Zhongmi's co-president Shi Nianhua and several guests were enjoying the singing and dancing of the actors in the hall with a leisurely expression.

Li Tai walked into the hall. Gao Zhongmi felt a little embarrassed when he saw him. He quickly stood up from the table, rubbed his hands and laughed dryly: "Apan, why do you have time to go home today? Alas, this is, stand down, all of you stand up." Down."

"No, no, if I disturb my uncle and you all, I will punish you with a drink before you sit down."

Li Tai waved his hand quickly and said hello to Nianhua and others. After sitting down at the table, he drank a glass of fruit wine to quench his thirst.

Even though he said this, Gao Zhongmi was still a bit rigid and couldn't let go. It was probably because he was caught being disrespectful to his juniors by being close to him, which was always a bit embarrassing.

Li Tai felt that it was okay to do some entertainment. Even if he had a blood feud, he just didn't have the ability to take revenge. He couldn't torture himself every day.

It would be difficult for Gao Zhongmi to take revenge personally in his life, so he might as well relax and enjoy life, live long enough to see his eldest nephew and his family hurt each other, and be happy.

Even if his wife is still alive, Gao Huan's tutor, who can't explain anything, is kind of cruel if you think about it. It's better to live a tipsy life and don't let yourself get too sober.

During the dinner, Li Tai asked Nianhua again if he knew about the club business run by the Heba brothers in Lishan.

"Of course I know this. That villa is now famous all over the capital! Most of the people I know are frequent visitors there, and they stay there day after day. I also visited it once with my friends, and it is indeed well-deserved. !”

Nianhua is not an ordinary North Town kid who grew up in adversity. He is very much like Luoxia Gongzi. When he talked about this Kinki entertainment resort, his face was full of excitement: "If I hadn't been there in person, I really wouldn't have thought that there were so many things in Lishan Mountain. There is such an elegant and interesting place, but I don’t have enough money to visit for a long time!”

When Li Tai heard this, he chuckled again. Nianhua had an aloof status among the children of Beizhen, and without the supervision of me every day, and his family was fairly rich, they all felt that the consumption in this club was a bit too much.

It can be seen that the Heba brothers were very cruel and ruthless when they slaughtered these fat sheep. Of course, in addition to their own family background, they also had the support of Yuwen Hu behind them, so they were so confident.

"I have some free time recently and plan to visit this famous place. Chang Shi, would you like to be a guide?"

He smiled again and said that Nian Hua had a wide network of contacts and could talk to the new rich in Beizhen and the old money in Luoxia. If there was a chance, he would also like to bring Nian Hua into his business network.

Although he doesn't intend to get involved in Lishan Club, he also has some business ideas for other similar businesses, such as some high-end handmade goods, to save capital for his Lu Daye.

Nianhua was just an idler, so after hearing this, he agreed with a smile and agreed to go to Lishan together tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Li Tai was still waving a long stick in the backyard to exercise his arm strength, when the doorman came to tell Yu Wenhu that he had come to the door. He stopped training, went back to his room to wash up, and then went to the central hall to meet his guests.

"Brother Sabao and Brother Boluo, you two came so early and don't understand your master's hobby of lying around in the middle of summer!"

Looking at Yu Wenhu and Yu Chigang who were already sitting in the hall, Li Tai smiled and complained.

"There are so many beautiful sights to behold in the world, and there is nothing better than lying around and having fun in the curtains! We are not being evil guests, we are here to teach you not to waste your time!"

Yu Chigang was not too big among Beizhen warriors, a little shorter than Li Tai, but his arms were as thick as if they were equipped with mechanical arms. When Li Tai said this, he stepped forward and slapped him.

Seeing this, Li Tai jumped away quickly, not daring to be photographed by this bastard. He gestured for the two of them to sit down, and said: "It's a long journey, so let's have a quick meal here first. When Nian Changshi arrives, we will set off. Just After listening to Brother Sabao’s boastful description, I’m really curious about what this business is like.”

When he mentioned this, Yu Wenhu was so happy that he couldn't help but sigh. He pointed at Li Tai and exclaimed: "Boshan, you are so clever. If I hadn't been inspired by you, I would never have thought that the warm soup flowing in Lishan is clearly a golden spring. ! I am enjoying a lot of peace of mind in spending money now, and I will benefit a lot from this! ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a sheathed sword from his waist. The sword had a curved handle and a golden beak. The scabbard was dotted with dazzling pearls and gems. It was clear at a glance that it was not a vulgar product. When the blade of the sword was drawn out, it was as cold and stunning as an autumn rainbow.

"The sword is a gift to a good friend. Bo Shan, don't refuse, otherwise I won't be polite!"

As he spoke, Yu Wenhu raised his hand and threw the saber into Li Tai's arms.

Yu Chigang looked at it with envy and pointed at the knife and said: "Brother Sa Bao is really fond of you, Li Lang. I have been worrying about how to reward you for the past few days. I just told him that the Shangdang Wang family has great ancestor Xiaowen. It was passed down that the golden sword was given by the emperor, so he visited every household to buy it and spent two thousand pieces of silk to get it! "

When Li Tai heard this, he felt flattered for a while. In his impression, Yu Wenhu was not a generous person. He had given him a standard bow before, but he didn't expect that this time he was willing to spend two thousand pieces of silk to buy a knife as a gift. It was really a big loss.

He held the sword respectfully with both hands, lowered his head and looked around, with a helpless smile on his face: "Who doesn't like famous swords and treasures? But such a precious gift, how can I be willing to wear it in the dust, and want to show it off in front of others, Brother Sabao But it gave me a lot of trouble sleeping and eating!"

"Haha, that's your business, whether you want to collect it or use it for leisure, just don't bother me back!"

When Yu Wenhu heard what he said, he also clapped his hands and laughed. He liked to see Li Tai bewildered by this heavy gift.

At this time, Nianhua also walked in from outside the hall. Without waiting to greet a few people, Li Tai jumped up from the banquet, still holding his hands with his hands, and walked towards Nianhua impatiently: "Don't read the long history." Turn your eyes, I have a precious treasure that I want to wash your eyes with! Do you know this treasure? Don't touch it with your hands!"

Seeing Li Tai eager to show off his treasure in front of others, Yu Wenhu's smile grew wider.
