Chapter 193 Additional Terms
Chapter 194 Additional Terms
Tan Xiaopei's fiery passion and equally fiery language moved Ye Tao, and for the first time, he took the initiative to kneel, he lowered his head, and said sincerely: "As you wish." ”
Tan Xiaopei's face showed a smile of relief and satisfaction, he glanced meaningfully at Tan Weixin, who was pouting the corners of his mouth with a helpless look on the side, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ye Tao's shoulder, laughed and turned around and left the living room, stepped across the courtyard, boarded the carriage, and went back to the palace.
The two princes, on the other hand, leaned back on the soft chairs beside them. Tan Weiran pretended to humilly hug his fist at Ye Tao and said, "Brother-in-law, I will be your subordinate in the future." You're going to have to take care of me. ”
Ye Tao took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Don't dare to say anything about taking care." After all, there are too many things to do in Yunzhou, you really led Jingyun to ride, it is also a place to burn money, it is estimated that we will all have a headache. ”
Tan Weiran grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, actually, you are really good at talking." My father was waiting for you to make a condition, but I didn't expect you to agree so easily, and all of them agreed. I told my father that you would agree soon, because you and your sister are the same people, the kind of people who are indifferent, but when they get impulsive, they will be crazier than anyone else. But I really expected it. Tan Weiran suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand at Tan Weiming, and said, "Come, dear His Royal Highness the Prince, take the bet." ”
Tan Weiming smiled bitterly and took out a jade pendant from his arms and stuffed it into Tan Weiran's hand. He looked at Ye Tao, then at Tan Weixin, who had a mocking look, shook his head, and said, "Brother-in-law, my brother's ability to figure out people can be regarded as your true inheritance." ”
Ye Tao's face was a little elongated because of depression, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You two brothers are still playing this game?" ”
Tan Weiming scratched his head. said: "Often, how many years has this jade pendant changed hands like this, we have almost forgotten where this thing came from in the first place." ”
Tan Weixin sighed: "Weiming, I want to come and go, or I want to ask clearly." You came up with the whole idea, right? ”
"What's the idea?" Ye Tao asked, "Let me be the envoy of Yunzhou?" ”
Tan Weiming smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes." I told my father that since both of us and my father believe that you will be at least a qualified envoy to Yunzhou, then we will confirm this appointment. Father trusts you. I will trust you in the future...... It's just that I don't expect it to take 50, 60, or even more years to rule the kingdoms, like my father. I hope to see that day in twenty to twenty-five years. Especially, so that the father can see this day with his own eyes. For this purpose, I think it doesn't hurt to take a small risk. Moreover. Actually, I don't think it's a risk for you to be a Yunzhou economic envoy, brother-in-law. ”
Tan Weixin sneered: "I really know how to avoid the important and light." I'm asking about that add-on thing. ”
Tan Weiming smiled disguisedly and said, "It's not a big deal." ”
Ye Tao said strangely: "Additional terms? What additional terms. ”
Tan Weixin snorted angrily. Tan Weiming and Tan Weiran looked at their sister and seemed to have a tendency to get mad, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Additional terms? What exactly are the additional terms? Ye Tao had no choice but to chase and ask Wei Xin.
Tan Weixin shook her head, frowned and said, "Anyway, you'll know in a few days, it's not a bad thing for you." …… The greater the capacity. Sure enough, the greater the responsibility. You Spider-Man don't want to accept Christine Dunst, but people can't deliver it to their door. ”
Ye Tao was stunned. He thought for a moment and asked, "You want to marry a girl from the Dai family?" Who? ”
Phew-a pillow smashed on Ye Taodi's face, probably to punish him, and his first reaction was not to say "no", but to start thinking about candidates directly.
Tan Weixin started to make trouble? I can't say it. It's just a strange reaction under a complex psychology. And when Ye Tao thought hard and didn't understand where the Dai family was going to get a school-age girl who must be very close to the core figures of the Dai family, and began to use various methods to knock on the side, Tan Weixin deliberately didn't say anything or was "interrupted" by various sudden affairs at a critical moment It became a very good entertainment.
And Ye Tao, naturally, didn't have much time to think about this kind of problem, and he couldn't even find anyone to excuse this matter. Because up to now, whether it is Tan Xiaopei, Tan Weiming, Tan Weiran brothers, or Dai Shining, the patriarch of the Dai clan, has never said such a thing to anyone on any occasion. Rush to ask this question. It's really stupid. What's more, Ye Tao had to implement the initial team of Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion in just a few days before he left for Yunzhou to take office.
Feng Wei naturally doesn't need to mention that he is now the chief staff of Di Ye Tao, and this status is probably a little higher than that of his father Qu Yan. And Ye Tao, who understands and understands Feng Wei's lazy temperament, is also happy to have such a friend-like staff by his side. You can come up with ideas all the time. What's more, Feng Wei is still a very qualified doctor who lacks practical experience.
Liu Qing has been working beside Ye Tao for quite some time. Liu Qing's work now extends far beyond liaising with Seven Seas Trading Company. Due to Feng Hao's laziness, Liu Qing actually became Ye Tao's secretariat. This time, after Ye Tao obtained Liu Qing's consent, he determined his status and granted him the title of Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion Dictionary. And Seven Seas Trading Company needs to send another liaison to Ye Tao's side.
Then came Suo Zheng. Even though Zou Shuangwen, the overseer of the Blood Qi Army, was repeatedly retained, whether it was Suo Zheng himself, many officers in the Blood Qi Army, or the Dongping Military Department, they all had to admit that people like Suo Zheng would play a greater role in Yunzhou than in the Blood Qi Army. The current Blood Qi Army no longer relies on Suo Zheng alone in logistics management, but a whole team is running at high speed. Yunzhou, on the other hand, needs people like Suo Zheng who have very rich experience in logistics management, equipment management, and ordnance production and maintenance. If Yunzhou can quickly form combat effectiveness in the army and catch up with the battle against Northern Liao in a few years, then Suo Zheng, who will inevitably perform at that time, may become the first soldier in history to enter the general class with logistics. There could not be a greater temptation and a higher pursuit than this.
When General Xu Jingtian left office, the team he was using half Dongping officials and half Yunzhou locals was still running, and many of them could be used. It's just that Ye Tao is not familiar with that part of the people at all, and he still needs time to understand. After all, he is in the position of the Road and Bridge Division, and there are so many things that he really has no time to take care of them. Since Yunzhou's future affairs will inevitably become more and more complicated, Tan Xiaopei also agreed to send a group of students from Taixue and Guozijian to Yunzhou every year, or talented young people who have not yet become prominent to Yunzhou, so that Ye Tao can be trained and appointed. There are also quite a lot of talents in Yunzhou that can be used, Ye Tao has no psychological obstacles to using Dai's children at all, he can't wait for those Dai's children who have always been known for their ability and diligence to help him share some more things. At the same time, Ye Tao also wanted to select some people from the tribes in Yunzhou to serve in the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion and the different institutions to which he belonged.
After solving the problem of people, he still asked Tan Xiaopei to clarify some arrangements. In the next three years, Dongping will provide 2 million taels of basic funds to Yunzhou Jinglue Prefecture every year. This part of the money can be used for anything, such as purchasing materials and hiring manpower within the boundaries of Dongping. And in the middle of this part of the cost, in fact, a lot of it was to be transferred to the Thunder Yin Demon Sect through Ye Tao to cope with the expenses of the expanding Thunder Yin Demon Sect. Due to the complexity of Yunzhou's affairs, Tan Weixin will train a team to handle the operation of the Inner Mansion in the next year, and now the commercial affairs of the Inner Mansion have become so complicated that it is definitely not something that one person can manage. But Tan Weixin, who is in the middle of it, can simplify the complex in various ways, and finally let herself simply point out the direction for her management team. This situation made Tan Xiaopei feel that he could try it.
Subsequently, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin gathered some members of Seven Seas Trading Company and Kyushu Trading Company, and told them that they would carry out a series of developments in Yunzhou, hoping that they would actively participate in various business activities in Yunzhou. Tan Weixin, on the other hand, promised projects and profits to all the first batch of businessmen who followed up on Yunzhou for large investments. When it comes to business, Tan Weixin's promise works more than anything else for these businessmen.
In addition, there are some small issues that need to be clarified, such as the large amount of trade that Yunzhou will carry out in the future, whether it can sell ordnance, whether it can sell horses to Xiling and Chunnan, and how to deal with domestic procurement.
There are so many things to do and so many problems to deal with, which is really busy Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, and it also makes Tan Xiaopei regret a little, he knew that he would not write anything in the appointment letter to leave Danyang to take office within ten days, which is obviously making himself unhappy.
In addition to these, the old general also made another suggestion, which was to build a city in Yunzhou that was rich and magnificent enough. In terms of Yunzhou's layout and military security, Yunzhou has an obvious situation where the west is heavy and the east is light, Suiyuan City, Ningyuan City, and Thunder Cliff...... Even most of the small and medium-sized towns are in the west of the middle line of Yunzhou, and the side facing the Northern Liao in the east is obviously empty, and militarily it is necessary to have a fortress that can accommodate enough troops to adjust the center of gravity of Yunzhou's defense, only in this way, in the future, the war against the Northern Liao, the army of Yunzhou will have a better starting position, and a more secure supply line. Economically and demographically, since the northern nomads had an almost blind admiration and reverence for those opulent buildings, a grandiose city closer to the north would help stabilize Dongping's rule over the Yunzhou tribe and other northern tribes, and also help attract more people to settle east of the middle line of Yunzhou, making the side facing the Northern Liao appear fuller.
When the old general mentioned the city, Ye Tao couldn't help but think, which city should it be his turn? Silver Moon? O'Gree? Darnassus? …… It's really exciting.
