Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 130: Things are precious and valuable

Whatever happened in Weinan, let it stay in Weinan. When Li Tai returned to Huazhou, he had forgotten that he broke the man's leg.

Of course, the first thing he did when he came back was to rush to Taifu to accept his new official appointment. Chang'an had been delayed for many days, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.

After changing into an official robe, Li Tai went straight to the main hall of the Taifu Palace. However, from early morning to dusk, people came and went to worship at Daxingtai, but no one paid attention to Li Tai.

It was not that no one paid attention to him. He was standing here in the corridor outside the main hall. He saw many familiar colleagues coming and going. Many people pointed at him and even made fun of him secretly. Some people left shortly after and brought several colleagues with them. He returned with a gloating smile on his face.

Li Tai couldn't tell that these bastards were laughing at him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Who knows that he has indeed made Daxingtai unhappy, and he is so slow and lazy that he has been slacking on work. Daxingtai gave him a new appointment more than ten days ago, but he has been absent from work until now. Even after repeated visits to the Taixing government, there was no response. How can Daxingtai not have a temper for such an unreliable official?

Just when the sun was about to set and Li Tai was standing drowsily, an attendant finally came out of the hall and shouted: "Da Xingtai, Gao Pingnan, come in."

Li Tai quickly patted his cheek, cheered up, and then walked into the hall with his legs raised. He did not dare to look up, but bowed his head and said, "Convict Li Boshan has come to visit Daxingtai?"

There was no sound from the hall for a long time. Li Tai couldn't help but look up and met Yu Wentai's angry eyes. He lowered his head in a hurry.

"Tell me, where did your sin come from?"

Seeing his appearance, Yuwentai finally asked in a deep voice.

"I am too stupid to dare to overestimate my superior's will. Thunder, rain and dew are not expressions of gratitude. I can only accept them happily!"

Li Tai knew that Yu Wentai was very emotional towards him, so of course he would not stupidly provide a solid reason to vent his anger, but just showed a sincere attitude of accepting the attack and accepting the punishment.

"Are you stupid? If you are really stupid, you can accurately create grudges and harm my friendship many times!"

After Yu Wentai heard this, he became even more angry. He pointed at Li Tai and yelled angrily.

Li Tai was also happy when he heard this. Indeed, he had asked his boss to wipe his butt quite frequently during this period. He was so dignified that he almost became his professional shit shoveler.

"How can I have no faults if I am not a sage? The sapphire carries the brilliance, but its flaws cannot be concealed. Even if it is carved by heaven, it can also be made into a weapon. If you practice Taigong and participate in nature, you will not abandon your subordinates. If you keep this knowledge, I will not be afraid of making grudges in the world!"

Li Tai quickly lowered his head and said, I have a boss, who should I be afraid of?

When Yu Wentai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Young man, if you have three points of clever words to use in interpersonal relationships, you won't make grudges everywhere and bother others! Who of all the evil people I see is Why can't I tolerate you, a loner?"

"My bones and muscles are strong and I don't follow the trend. Since my talents belong to me, why do I have to compromise for perfection? It is better to work hard to please everyone than to use my wisdom to help the king. A small minister is not great, but he is strong if he abides by the road. Although the road is full of thorns, what does it mean to me? damage!"

Hearing that Yu Wentai was still scolding, but his tone had softened a bit, Li Tai quickly stepped up his strength, "No one in this world deserves my good looks except Daxingtai."

Although Yu Wentai sent Su Chuo to Chang'an, he was still full of dissatisfaction with Li Tai. Not long after he joined the Tai government, this boy had already started to have grievances with his senior fellow countrymen and his confidant generals. No matter how talented he was, in his The impression in my heart gradually turned into one of arrogance and rebelliousness.

But after hearing these words, his mood also changed subtly.

After taking a closer look at Li Tai, he found that this boy was from a good background, handsome, talented, and well-spoken. He was not an unpleasant guy when viewed horizontally or vertically. Although it is inevitable to be arrogant at times, it will not offend the public.

It can't be said that it's all this kid's fault for having grudges against others, it can even be said that there is no fault at all. It's just that the other party is used to being strong, and he happens to meet someone who refuses to bow his head and submit, and that's why things bother him.

It’s true that I reward my staff as long as they work diligently. Do I have to force them to be patient and bow their heads in everything they do every day?

At the thought of this, Yu Wentai's expression became even more relaxed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly swallowed. He was almost fooled by this kid again due to his negligence!

He snorted again: "There are many people in the Taiwan government who are doing things, but how many of them are as lazy as you? I hired you to work, not to allow you to roam the wild and trample on thorns!"

"I am guilty, I am guilty! Only with loyalty and diligence can I make up for my past mistakes. If things go wrong, I will die without regrets."

Li Tai didn't dare to argue with you, fellow, for detaining me or yelling at me, so he quickly corrected his attitude and promised.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai's anger subsided, and he ordered the officials to give Li Tai a written order that had been written for many days. Then he said: "The members of the Dushui Department and the envoys of Quyan raised their own funds from both the government and the public. The public land office will prepare the report quickly. There should be no mistakes."

After hearing this, Li Tai quickly kowtowed and thanked him. Holding the letter in his hand, he resigned and left. After he retreated outside the hall, he couldn't help clenching his fists and waving his arms.

He also didn't expect that Yuwentai actually gave him such great autonomy, leaving everything from personnel selection to department structure to him. This was like the treatment of a government official!

Of course, he also seriously doubted that the reason why Yuwentai gave him such a large autonomy was that he was not familiar with the new business. Neither the imperial court nor the Bafu had a mature administrative team, so he needed to build it from scratch.

It was no longer doubtful. He had discussed this appointment with several cousins ​​when he was in Chang'an. Prior to this, there were no official posts for the Dushui envoy in the imperial court, and only Sinong Shaoqing was in charge of his affairs. As for the Bafu side, it is led by Hucao, Tiancao, various field officials and local officials.

Therefore, when Li Tai, the new official of Luoshui River, took office, the first problem he faced was to establish the personnel framework and centralize the scattered powers before he could carry out actual administrative work.

After exiting the Zhitang, Li Tai received his official talisman and official seal, and the sky was completely dark.

He did not stay in Taifu any longer and returned directly to Gao Zhongmi's house in Huazhou City.

"Brother, you are finally back, are you okay?"

As soon as Li Tai returned home, Shuofeng rushed out from the inner hall, looked at Li Tai from side to side, then patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I've been waiting here for brother for the past few days. You If you don’t come back, I’ll leave again tonight!”

Seeing that this boy cared about him so much, Li Tai was also quite relieved. He patted his head and said with a smile: "You have already gone to rescue me personally. What can happen to me? Are you still at home? I will take you home by the way. Visit him."

"Aye left two days ago. I miss my brother, so I will stay here tonight."

Shuofeng took Li Tai's arm, relying on him very much, and said politely: "I know that brother you are trapped in Chang'an, I have already planned to lead people to attack and rob him. If you don't believe me, just ask a few of them."

After hearing this, several people nearby also smiled and nodded: "Mr. Lang is telling the truth."

Gao Zhongmi also stepped forward, patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "It's good to come back. Don't go into danger again and make those close to you worried."

Li Tai saw that he looked haggard and was staggering, so he asked, "Is it possible that uncle is ill?"

"My lord, I have been praying to the Taifu for several days..."

Gao Bailing spoke on the side, but Gao Zhongmi glared at him and did not dare to say any more.

Gao Zhongmi sighed in embarrassment: "Now that I have no power, I can only hurt my self-esteem and hope that the powerful will show mercy. As long as you are fine, Apan, I have nothing left to do but watch you. It’s a drag, but it doesn’t help you…”

Although Li Tai had been detained for several days, he didn't think it was a big deal. However, listening to Gao Zhongmi's sad and ashamed tone, he couldn't help but feel sad. He just said in a deep voice: "Those who depend on each other for life, no one is a drag on anyone. Uncle, don't worry. Well, there will be no such torture in the future.”

The group of people walked into the hall while talking. As soon as they sat down, a servant came to tell them that there was a slave of Duguxin's family outside the door asking to see him.

Isn't this here to ask for an account?

Li Tai muttered secretly in his heart, but he still hurried to the front hall to meet him.

Several soldiers of the Dugu family entered the hall, and one of them was a maidservant who had lived with Dugu Miaoyin in Shangyuan Village for a period of time.

The little maid held a long and narrow wooden box in her hand. After entering the hall, she bowed and saluted, and then said: "A few days ago, some gentlemen reported that Li Lang was trapped in Chang'an, and I have been worried about it. Because of the inconvenience of mourning, the old master of the household The mistress is celebrating the occasion outside, and it is not easy to arrange staff, so the lady can only sit and pray for Li Lang's safety..."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Miaoyin. I have been busy with chores recently and have neglected to visit. I will definitely pay my respects to you in the future."

After He Basheng's death, Miaoyin, his adopted daughter, left Shang Yuan. After the funeral, she stayed at He Basheng's mansion in Huazhou to mourn. However, Li Tai never had time to see her. When he heard the lady's concern and condolences, He replied.

"My wife asked my slave to tell my husband that the scandal in the house is causing embarrassment. No matter what is said outside, I know that my husband is sincere and affectionate towards the deceased grand master. I will not accept the huge sums of money and goods demanded by the ugly heir. Yes. If there are still people causing trouble, please kill them with this sword!"

While talking, the maid came forward and placed the wooden box on the table and opened it. Inside was a sharp-edged sword. Although the decoration was not as gorgeous as the sword that Li Tai handed over to his father-in-law, the blade had a fine blade. Win.

Before Li Tai could speak, the maid continued: "This sword was worn by the old master of the household. My wife said that you don't have to worry about causing trouble because of it. The old master and the late grand master had a deep friendship. This is the matter in this family." You shouldn’t stay out of the situation. The husband should show your kindness to the old master, and the old master should also shield him from right and wrong.”

Li Tai was immediately happy when he heard this. Does it mean that even if he kills people with this knife, the blame will be placed on Dugu Xin's head?

Although he would not do this, he was moved by this concern. He raised his hand to hold Dugu Xin's sword and inspected it for a moment. Then he said to the maid: "Please tell Madam Miaoyin that the lady gave you not only a sharp blade, but also a sword." I will never forget this man’s bravery and courage in the face of difficulties, and I hope to be rewarded!”
