Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 235 A loyal heart

"That slave Zhao is really stupid, thinking that I really have no strength. His slave is leaning against me for protection and cannot get close, so I pretend to be weak, just to make him underestimate me and save my strength for a sneak attack! What a pity, what a pity The village owner stopped him, otherwise I will beat him hard this time and he will learn a lesson, and he will have to avoid it when he sees me next time!"

On the way back, Li Ya's face lit up when she talked about the fight on the hillside just now.

Even though he was looked down upon frequently by Li Tai, he refused to give up and laughed to himself: "Master, there is no need to look at him so harshly. I know that I will inevitably be beaten and taught when I return to the village, so I am willing to accept the punishment! But such a pleasant pleasure , I really can’t help but not show off, just let me speak freely along the way, and I will be more willing to be punished after returning!”

What could Li Tai say when he heard this? This kid didn't care about food but not about fighting, but he was not afraid of being beaten at all. It was also his PUA that went too far. This kid no longer regards being punished as a shameful and embarrassing thing. In short, you wave your ruler and I will make my mistakes. Everyone has their own procedures.

However, he did not intend to severely punish the two of them. Zhao Gui's active performance at the two weddings had already made him unhappy. He seemed to regard himself as a relative of the Yuwen family, and even forced his son into the car during the car accident. Hard brush presence. Judging from the intentions of the father and son, the next daughter of the Yuwen family must be assigned to his family.

Li Ya just rode on that kid and beat him up, which Li Tai found quite enjoyable. However, the kid's attacks were too dark and harsh, and his fists and feet were directed towards the head and face, so he had no choice but to call a stop.

These military leaders are all very high-spirited. Fighting with each other is just a trivial matter, but if they really want to beat someone up, they will be in trouble.

特别赵贵长子已经残废了,就指着这个次子同大行台联姻,若再被李雅揍毁了容破了相,赵贵这老小子不知得疯成什么样。

So I still have to take some time to warn this kid. If he encounters such a situation in the future, if he is not determined to form a deadly feud, he still has to avoid the head and face. If you beat someone's ass until they're beaten, and someone else's parents come to hold you accountable, it's not easy to take off your son's pants and examine his injuries directly!

The group quickly returned to Shangyuan Village. Li Tai personally escorted the two boys back to the village middle school to confine them. He also looked at Liu Ang, who had adapted to life in the village and was still well-behaved. He couldn't help but sigh. This guy is a peace of mind.

Since he had newly accepted the task of raising materials for the Grand Parade, Li Tai had no time to enjoy leisurely life in the countryside. After taking a quick inventory of various affairs in the village, he went straight to the Dushui Administration Office on the west bank of Luoshui River in the evening.

In the past half year, Li Tai has been supervising the construction of the three defense cities in Beizhou, and it has been a long time since the administrative office visited him in person. When he arrived in front of the administrative office, all his family members came out to greet him happily.

But when they all sat down in the hall and Li Tai briefly explained the tasks assigned by the Tai government, everyone could no longer laugh. Everyone was worried that this task was too heavy.

Li Tai bargained too lightly and was deceived by Su Chuo. At this moment, he heard the crowd's worries and felt a little guilty. However, it was useless to talk about the matter at this point. He still cheered up and said: "The national situation is difficult, both internally and externally." Everyone has a lot of hard work and hard work. The past achievements of our Du Shui Administration are obvious to all. Those who can work hard will be rewarded. If you can successfully complete the task this time, I believe the Taiwan government will not be stingy with rewards!"

"Being at a lower level does not mean that you are afraid of difficulties, but the administrative personnel savings are still short. Even if you can barely meet this case, it is inevitable that the department's treasury will be exhausted and the future will be difficult to continue!"

When Pei Hong and others who stayed behind at the administrative office heard this, their faces were still full of worry.

After hearing this, Li Tai sighed secretly in his heart. Although the Dushui Administrative Office had little success in managing affairs in the past year, it was also based on the long-term shortage of water conservancy in Luoshui. The Taiwanese government's request for this level is indeed a bit of a waste of money.

In the final analysis, the people's livelihood and politics in Kansai are too shallow. If you want to have a good year, you can only pick some departments that have a little bit of oil and water to kill.

In previous years, the salt industry in Hedong accounted for most of the variable income. This year, salt industry has been introduced into the new industry. Those involved in the salt industry in Hedong are still undecided. It is not suitable for excessive exploitation, so they can only look for compensation elsewhere.

Although temporary government offices such as prefectures and counties have a constant supply of rents and transfers, expanding households and encouraging farming does not happen overnight and requires stable accumulation over a certain period of time. Among all the internal and external agencies, only the Dushui Administrative Office has innovative cases and impressive growth, so it is inevitable that it will be ripped off.

Today, the biggest source of interest for the Metropolitan Water Management Bureau is the construction of water conservancy facilities such as the Diyang along the river, which are either self-operated by the Water Management Bureau or rented and commissioned. Although other Zhouqiao ferry and fishing and reclamation projects have also experienced certain growth, their overall proportion is still small.

Of course, the gains in various industries based on Luoshui are not limited to this. Based on the unified management of Zuiya facilities, various related handicraft industries have developed gratifyingly. For example, the textile industry has made great achievements due to the large spinning wheel, as well as the growing scale of military grain processing, paper making, ceramics, etc., which have grown to varying degrees.

However, the main profits from the growth of these industries did not belong to the Dushui Administration Bureau, but were shared by Li Tai through the organization of Qumeng and the wealthy residents of nearby villages.

The advantage of doing this is that Li Tai's public opinion base on both sides of the Luoshui River is increasing day by day, which is something that no one else in the Shuihua Administration Department can do except him. After all, the most important significance of this official position does not lie in the conferment of power by the court or the hegemony, but in the distribution of interests within the basin.

Although the personnel industry under the direct control of the Metropolitan Water Administration is limited, thanks to the revival and development of Guanzhong's overall agricultural production, warehousing is also considerable. However, the affairs of the administrative office are not limited to one's income and one's income. Especially for any water conservancy construction project, it is very basic that money and food are consumed.

Now that the Taiwan government is trying to empty out the warehouses of the Department of Water Resources, it is natural that the people are in trouble. If the warehouse is empty, the consequences will not only be a return to the pre-liberation period, but also the embarrassment that some planned projects will be abandoned halfway because there is no necessary expenditure to support them.

However, Li Tai's identity is not only the administrative chief, he is also a wealthy man on the Luoshui River. Faced with such a situation, the administrative office naturally has room for maneuver to invade the public with private affairs.

"There are always difficulties, but when it comes to discussing the matter, let's not talk about the rest! In the near future, the inventory will be reviewed as soon as possible, and the necessary expenses will be deducted. The surplus that can be used for dispatch will be reviewed and accounted for. All items that need to be spent in the second half of the year Affairs should be strictly investigated and discussed, and if possible, they can be saved, and if possible, they can be avoided.”

He first issued a few instructions, which were all basic operations, and the next step was the focus of the operation: "After everything has been planned, if there is still a huge shortfall compared to what the Taiwan government ordered, we have no choice but to make some extraordinary plans." . The weirs and dams along the river will be reviewed to determine their merits and value, and they can be sold to the prefectures, counties and villages to raise funds!"

When Pei Hong and others heard this, they couldn't help being shocked. Today's personnel foundation inside and outside the Dushui Administration Office has been established step by step, without sleep and food. Now that things have just started to improve, they will start to sell goods to the outside world. How can I bear it in my heart?

"Although the administrative department has made great achievements in innovation in all matters, the increase is still considerable. It would be unwise to betray the cause and damage the foundation of the establishment just because of short-term difficulties!"

Cui Yansheng next to him couldn't help but said: "Can the Governor go to Taifu to talk to the Taifu in detail, describe the worries in detail, and implore the Taifu to slow down the attack?"

After Li Tai heard this, he sighed and said: "I founded the administrative office with my own hands. How can I not have a deep understanding of the length of the matter? Nowadays, the great army is planning to build an army, and the great review is the most important thing. Everything needs to be avoided. How can it be done because of me? I know that you have put a lot of effort into this matter, and I really can’t bear to let it go. If I say it’s heartbreaking, I won’t feel inferior to you and others, but for the sake of national affairs, I can only bear to be sad!”

For him, selling the water conservancy facilities built by the administrative office is nothing more than buying out his work and benefits at once and moving them from the administrative office to his own home, making them more convenient to operate.

Yuwentai was demanding a lot of money from him in order to build the army. He couldn't spend his own money to make up for the huge shortfall. Not to mention just unifying the army and organizing the Sixth Army Farewell, he couldn't agree to it even if it was given to a Zhuguo!

Without money, it will be difficult to make plans and achieve anything. He is now helping Yuwentai overdraw future benefits to complete the current strength growth. Although it is essentially embezzling public assets, at least it will help things. If it were someone else I still can’t operate it, but I’m still very loyal when talking about it.

Although he didn't feel very guilty about the lion's open-mouthed Taifu, he still felt a little sorry for his subordinates in the administrative department. Although he has always been the leader of the administrative affairs, these subordinates have also put in real efforts to develop it to this day.

Now he wants to use the Taiwan government's decree to squander the future interests and achievements of the administration for private purposes, and he really feels sorry for his subordinates.

Seeing that everyone was still emotionally unable to accept it, he added: "When Su Shangshu of the former Communist Party of China was discussing the matter, the minister said frankly that I had made great contributions to the affairs of the people in Dushui, which was clearly visible, and promised that as long as I could assist the Taiwan government in planning for the Grand Parade, Regarding the matter, all water in Guanzhong is expected to be included in the unified management of water in the coming year!”

After everyone heard this, their expressions became a little better. The reason why they work diligently is not only because they want to do their best for the country, but of course they also have their own political ambitions.

At present, the Dushui Administrative Office only manages the first-class Luoshui area, but it has become increasingly important. If these rivers and canals within the pass can be unified and managed, both the administrative office and each of them will undoubtedly have a great increase in their power, and it will be easier to achieve results.

Seeing that everyone reluctantly accepted it, Li Tai finally settled his worries and decided that he would try his best to get this blank check from Su Chuo in the coming year.

He personally does not have much interest in river basins other than Luoshui, such as the Weishui River and the Jingshui River. However, considering the respective futures of these subordinates, he does not conflict with the increase in the power of the Dushui Administration Office.

Naturally, water control in other places must be done in a fair and official manner, and one cannot enrich one's own pockets through random practices. Even if there is a conflict with local wealthy families, this is also a problem that the administrative office needs to face. If the imperial court is dissatisfied with his behavior, it can withdraw him. Anyway, in the future, the center of his career will still be placed along the Luoshui River and in the three defense cities in northern Shaanxi.

So in this matter, he really means to be adamant without desire. If you are still willing to continue to use me, then I will take care of business. If you don't want to use me anymore, then I will be a comfortable military leader.
