Chapter 235: Not Good Enough
Chapter 236: Not Good Enough
Although everyone was worried about whether Shen Dan would have any words and deeds that offended Ye Tao, at least on the surface, Shen Dan was still very respectful, and after a few words of greeting with Ye Tao, he introduced the current "Historical Research" to Ye Tao. Although Ye Tao no longer has to do any more research on the concept of "big history" that he recklessly threw out, the publication and distribution of the book series is still something he is more interested in. One of the more critical points is that although in this time and space, Baowentang Bookstore already has the tone of a commercial publishing company in Ye Tao's impression. Although there are not many types of publications, there are few other sales channels except for those closely related bookstores and bookstores, and there are also powerless recourse to several pirated bookstores thousands of miles away, such as Nibbling Bookstore, Yunxiao Pavilion, Qikantang, etc. Baowentang, which has a deep background in the inner government and has the help of many aspects, even considered the "decapitation operation" at one time - but in general, Baowentang's publishing route of focusing on academics and taking into account the reading taste of the public has become very modern. In particular, there has been a very embarrassing "title party" in the compilation team of Baowentang, and this Shen Dan is even more happy to find a title that makes people's eyes shine.
Those people in the embroidery garden, who knew Shen Dan's character very well, watched Ye Tao and Shen Dan chatting very happily in the living room, and Jin Ze was ready to rush up and drag Shen Dan away at any time. But the embarrassing topic that everyone was waiting for never appeared, and I have to say that although the tossing of the Xiuyuan Menke Society, in order to show his loyalty and admiration for Tan Weiying, did make Shen Dan feel a lot, but his talent and learning were still worthy of the high reputation he now enjoys in Danyang and in the whole Dongping. As the chief editor of the "Historical Research" series, he pursued the concept of starting only from the quality of the articles themselves, and did not take personal likes and dislikes as the compilation criteria. In addition to being affirmed by Ye Tao, it also made everyone present feel refreshed.
However, even though Ye Tao is not sensitive in interpersonal terms, the various rich emotions contained in the eyes of the people around him during the time he chatted with Shen Dan were enough for Ye Tao, who was a little lazy to use his brain in interpersonal terms, to judge that Shen Dan must not be here to have academic exchanges with him, let alone seek official ......
"Compiled by Shen. In a little while I will go to the palace for a feast. This time I can only stay in Danyang for a few days, I'm afraid the chance of meeting you again will not be very great, if you have anything to say, please feel free to say it. Beating around the bush doesn't seem like what you're to like, right? At the end of a topic, when there was a moment of coldness, Ye Tao gently broke through the topic that Shen Dan had been weighing and hesitating.
Right here? Is it here that Shen Dan has been holding back the question in his heart for a long time? Shen Dan weighed it for a moment, plucked up the courage to ask, "Ye Jingluo...... Why do you treat Her Royal Highness the Embroidery Princess like that? Don't you think, that's ...... Isn't it too unresponsible? ”
"Presumptuous!" Kanazawa shouted first. rushed up directly and prepared to drag Shen Dan away.
Ye Tao didn't care much about Shen Dan's question. In fact, those people around Ye Tao often question some of Ye Tao's decisions, this is the case when they are developing technology in the workshop, when they are discussing Yunzhou's political strategy in the Jingluo Mansion, and even more so when they are discussing some serious or light-hearted topics within the family. Ye Tao waved his hand. Stopped Kanazawa. He turned to Shen Dan and asked with interest, "So, what do you think is responsible?" ”
Shen Dan was speechless. If it is an unmarried youth, whether rich or poor. If you can win Tan Weiying's favor, then there is naturally no hindrance; If it is a young man from an ordinary family, maybe the problem of marrying Wei Ying will not be very big; But Ye Tao has already married a princess, and that princess is still Tan Weiying's sister.
Ye Tao smiled and said with great understanding: "When I met Her Royal Highness the Princess, she was still young. To me, she was a funny little sister first and a princess second. This. It hasn't changed over the years. If she thinks she wants to be with me and thinks it's a good idea, that's my pleasure. But, in any case, such a thing should happen with the blessing of the parents, not something that happens to force things to go to the only point. No one would hate a woman like Her Royal Highness the Princess, but. Whatever you and me. Whoever you are, there are so many things in our world that need to be considered. Isn't it? …… Just as His Majesty does not say a word about this, it is also the same reason. What you should do as a lord and what you should do as a father are not so simple and can be combined. Ye Tao's understanding is because from Shen Dandi's attention, or the admiration of all the Xiuyuan guests he mentioned for Tan Weiying, at least part of his emotions have been transformed, and at least some of these poor scholars have more than just admiration for Tan Weiying, but they know that it is even more impossible, so they can only hope that Tan Weiying can be safe and happy, and can be smooth in everything...... Even something so incredible.
In order not to let the topic continue, the clerk hurriedly reminded that the hour was almost up, and asked Ye Tao to prepare to leave for the banquet. Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders, signaled to Shen Dan and everyone in the living room, and when he was about to walk away, Shen Dan straightened his back and asked, "Is Her Royal Highness Princess Embroidery not good enough?" Isn't it as good as Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua? ”
Ye Tao smiled and replied seriously: "No, it's me who is not good enough." ”
Ye Tao didn't say anything more, he said to Shen Dan: "Don't mention this topic again." You could have come to me for other interesting things, but it doesn't seem to work these days. After that, you are welcome to come to Yunzhou. You are also welcome to those of you who are from the Embroidery Garden. ”
Ye Tao's gentle and drizzly attitude made Shen Dan's originally prepared questioning unable to play, and also made his original resentment gradually cool down. Ye Tao didn't argue anything, but he simply sealed all his words, and his gentle and calm attitude coincided with his image in various rumors circulating in Danyang, making people feel that Ye Tao was indeed a calm person. This kind of calmness has a view of people and things, and more of a treat of oneself. If you claim to be not good enough, I'm afraid not many people dare to say it in public. Even now, no one in the world will think that Ye Tao is not good enough.
Shen Dan really didn't have the opportunity to meet Ye Tao in Danyang. Ye Tao only stayed in Danyang for two and a half days, and there were still many affairs to be dealt with. But Shen Dan's performance in front of Ye Tao won him Tan Xiaopei's attention. Tan Xiaopei actually called him to the imperial study alone for this matter, and there was nothing to do, just scolded him. But Shen Dan heard from Tan Xiaopei's tone that His Majesty the Lord of the Country already had an idea in his heart, and the ice of that routine had been loosened.
Shen Dan didn't know why His Majesty summoned him to reveal such information in a stinking way, but Shen Dan got an enlightenment from this. Indeed, the Dongping royal family is indeed like what many people say, there is no prestige of a family that wants to become the lord of the world, and many things are a bit nonsense in the eyes of others.
Shen Dan's worries about Her Royal Highness the princess can be regarded as completely letting go. And at this time, Ye Tao's seemingly non-perfunctory invitation to him made him feel more and more attractive. Yunzhou, yes, Yunzhou!
Originally, Yunzhou has always been a local big family headed by the Dai family to act as an agent for local governance affairs, although Yunzhou headed by the Dai family has no problems in political implementation. The interests and territorial concepts between families rarely affect the implementation of Yunzhou's government and military affairs, but it is not an ideal situation for clan power to override political power, let alone a situation that people of insight in Dongping are willing to see after Yunzhou is included in Dongping. The major families in Yunzhou, who realized this, under Dai's initiative and first action, all the major families cooperated with Jinglue Mansion to change this situation. But up to now, there are still quite a few people in charge of village and town governments, and there is no other reason: Yunzhou is too short of grassroots officials. In the past year, Dongping has selected a total of more than 390 officials at all levels with different specialties and different work experience to Yunzhou, but according to Yunzhou's feedback, this is just the basic administrative framework of the highly professional Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Commerce and Trade Bureau. Ye Tao needs to review it again and again within his great family before he can directly deploy it. The lack of a professional senior staff advisory team that can turn the general policy into a feasible decree so that the energy of Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun and others can be focused on more creative thinking has become a top priority in the construction of Yunzhou's governance institutions.
And how can Shen Dan not see what the meaning of the Civil Affairs Department who has just made a resolution and began to explore while implementing it. This is indeed an organization with complicated affairs and a large number of grassroots officials who can do things, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and dare to speak for the people, but as long as they can really have such a character and can do things conscientiously, it is very easy to produce results in the three divisions of the Civil Affairs Department.
