Chapter 256: Leisure

Although Ye Tao and Dai Qiuyan are both indifferent people, they also enjoy this atmosphere. And Ye Tao's eyes swept away, but he found Tan Weiying smiling in the crowd, and Jiang Yan standing far away outside the crowd.

"I'll leave for a moment. Let's talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Ye Tao squeezed Dai Qiuyan's hand and said.

Dai Qiuyan was obviously very excited, her face was flushed with more than the temperature could cause, and after completing the painting, there was no requirement to restrain her emotions, and her body even trembled a little with excitement. Ye Tao looked at Dai Qiuyan with a smile, tolerant and doting. Ye Tao also knows that this wife, who still calls herself "Brother Ye" and can't change her words, will repay herself with such enthusiasm......

However, at least for now, Ye Tao has something to do: figure out Jiang Yan's intentions. He would not be naïve enough to think that Jiang Yan would be idle enough to come to participate in this kind of calligraphy and painting event. This typical strategist, who is good at politics and strategy, is not good at it either, and does not like these.

"Mr. Jiang, what is the matter this time?" After walking with Jiang Yan to a place where no one was around, Ye Tao asked straight to the point.

"Ye Jingluo, you are leisurely, and you actually have time to come to this kind of party." Jiang Yan's smile was a little mean. Ye Tao didn't care, because Jiang Yan seemed to have always been like this. A mean smile is already some kind of sign of Jiang Yan.

"It's not leisurely, is it? Yesterday I went to the willow embankment for a walk, but the scenery below is not as good as here after all. I heard that I was here today, so I just came to join in the fun. After all, I'm embarrassed to ask Yan Gong to open a villa to entertain me, right? Ye Tao said lightly.

"My lord, is your decision irreversible?" Jiang Yan asked. Naturally, he was referring to something that Dongping would not send troops to coordinate.

Ye Tao looked at Jiang Yan and said seriously: "You should know that my Dongping army is about to attack Liao. All preparations are aimed at the north, and the arrow is on the bow. There's no room for adjustment. I, Dongping, am indeed proud of my military appearance, but I want to fight on both sides at the same time? It's not self-confidence, it's not pride, it's the brain caught in the door. ”

Jiang Yan's expression did not change at all. No matter what kind of decision Ye Tao makes, it really won't be unexpected by him. Ye Tao's decision, Feng Wei was released very efficiently last night, and Jiang Yan was in the palace all this morning to discuss this matter with the lord of Chunnan and several important ministers. What relieved Jiang Yan and Chunnan's ministers was that at least it seems. Ye Tao made such a decision after a fierce ideological struggle, which at least shows that Dongping still attaches great importance to Chunnan, an ally. Whether it's a sigh of relief or a feeling that this can be used in the future, it's a good thing.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, became particularly interested in Ye Tao after his own local resolution was roughly formed. What kind of person is Ye Tao? Is the world's unrivaled master craftsman? Is he a natural general with a full stomach and strategy? Is it a splendid ruler? Or is it the image that seems to be omnipotent, compiled from those reports from all over the world? What kind of hard work and accumulation can produce such a person? Or is there really someone in this world who is born to know?

The more he understands the strategy of governing the country, and the more profound and comprehensive he understands the various affairs of the country, the more people like Jiang Yan understand Ye Tao. and Ye Tao's wife, Tan Weixin, who seems to have subverted many traditions and will continue to subvert the meaning of various traditions. And when such a person has gained sufficient power, he will gradually implement his ideas in a cautious and meticulous step, and see the effect little by little, and will not be arrogant because of his outstanding ability. Nor will they be constrained by anyone's opposition or resistance...... How terrible such a person is. And Dongping has changed because of these two characters, and the more he looks at it, the more thrilling Jiang Yan feels. He now understands more and more why Ye Tao and Tan Weixin are now in the top five on the Daoming Sect's very instructive assassination list. The reason why I can't even make it to the top 50 is listed.

Although he understood that no matter what, Ye Tao's statement was some kind of pretext, Jiang Yan had no intention of refuting it. That won't make any difference.

"My lord," Jiang Yan said lightly, he owed a debt, and said, "This is really a pity." Wish...... My good young people in Chunnan won't fall too much because of this situation. But, my lord, those we need the ground equipment. There are also fire oil bombs or something, as well as war horses, weapons, armor, etc., many of which are produced by Ye's workshop. In this regard, adults still need to take more care of them. ”

Ye Tao said sincerely: "These things I can do, Mr. Jiang, please rest assured." ”

"Some trivial things, and I have to bother Ye Jingluo, I'm ashamed." Jiang Yan seemed to be very grateful.

They leaned against a stone fence facing the sea. Jiang Yan suddenly asked, "Ye Jingluo, I guess you also know." At the beginning, the two countries were in harmony. I proposed it. Now it seems that Concubine Lian married into the Tan family. It may be that His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom has made a mistake. Concubine Lian's domineering still makes you have some bad prejudices against me Chunnan. His Majesty was thinking of his daughter's kindness at that time, but it seemed to have caused irreparable consequences. Now, His Majesty regrets it. …… My lord, you are also one of the first people in Dongping to deal with Concubine Lian. If it was Song Xiangjun who married Song Meiren in the past, do you think this situation will be a little different from now? ”

In this day and age, it is often the case that a person represents the image of a country and there is no other room for manoeuvre. Ye Tao groaned slightly and said, "Maybe." It's just that this assumption is too meaningless. ”

At this time, Song Xiangjun was just a little farther away, walking in front of their eyes. said that Song Xiangjun is a beauty, everyone has no opinion, although Ye Tao feels that Song Xiangjun may not be worthy of the title of the so-called first beauty in Chunnan, although the beautiful and graceful temperament and the warm and unassuming elegance tempered by a big family like the Song family are really attractive, but there must still be a bonus factor for her from the Song family that stubbornly plays a role. But it is undeniable that compared to Concubine Lian's domineering, willful, and domineering temper, if it was Song Xiangjun who married Tan Xiaopei at the beginning, many people may have completely different impressions and feelings of Chunnan now. And now, an unsuitable person has become Concubine Lian, and the suitable Song Xiangjun has a husband who is much more mediocre although he is promising...... Something disappointing. But on the other hand, compared to Song Xiangjun, it is indeed Chang Ling, a beauty who is not very likable anywhere, which can better symbolize the combination of the two forces. After all, Chang Ling is the princess.

"That's the sorrow of a counselor like me. It's better not to have a misinterpreted strategy. Jiang Yan said with emotion.

"To each his own sorrow. It's a pity that although I can be idle here now, I always have to worry about the affairs of Yunzhou, which is thousands of miles away, and the deacon also has the distress of the deacon. Perhaps in order to be symmetrical with Jiang Yan's complaints, Ye Tao also sighed at the right time.

"But you can't be idle, sir, can you? I heard that there is also a meeting of Nanami Trading Company. Jiang Yan's tone was filled with some doubts.

"Yes. I didn't come to Chunnan for Concubine Lian's business, please forgive me for not being interested in Concubine Lian's arrangements and mood. Ye Tao shrugged. The day of the meeting of the Nanami Trading Company happened to be the day when Concubine Lian finished a series of greetings and ceremonies in the palace and feasted in Yuhang in her own name. For such a grand banquet, the invitation of the guests and whether or not to attend it started a few days ago, but Ye Tao made it clear that he would go to the meeting of Seven Seas Trading Company. It was not easy for the senior deacons of Seven Seas Trading Company to get together once, and this time the meeting was about the establishment of a province in Nanyang, the founding war of the Samir family, and a series of contents related to future development plans, due to Ye Tao's status and influence, Seven Seas Trading Company also asked Ye Tao to fully participate in the daily management of Seven Seas Trading Company's strategy formulation and major arbitration among members in addition to undertaking relevant technology research and development. Moreover, in the end, Seven Seas Trading Company was not very comfortable holding a meeting in Yuhang, and finally decided to hold the meeting on a small island outside Hangzhou Bay, and the round-trip transportation would take a little time.

The problem is that Ye Tao didn't feel anything wrong or embarrassed at all about not attending Concubine Lian Changling's banquet. The date of this meeting of Seven Seas Trading Company was decided a long time ago, and Changling had no reason not to know. If you really want to participate, then Chang Ling should arrange the staggered date by herself. It is estimated that arranging this day to test whether Ye Tao is willing to give face, it can only be that Concubine Lian is bored with herself. Ye Tao obviously wouldn't think about Concubine Lian's face, even if he was in Yuhang, the capital of Chunnan.

"Alas......" Jiang Yan sighed and said, "My lord is hard. ”

"My lord," Liu Yong suddenly came up to report and said, "How about showing your hand again?" Mrs. and Song Meiren are both in the building over there, and they are talking about making statues for Song Meiren. Madame is embarrassed, let me ask your lord if you would like to make this portrait. ”

Ye Tao scratched his head and said, "Okay then." I'll go. Ye Tao then turned around and arched his hand to Jiang Yan and said, "Mr. Jiang, let's talk about it later." When the matter is settled for a while, I should pay a visit. ”

Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is at will." ”

After saying goodbye, Jiang Yan couldn't help but have a good impression of Ye Tao. Maybe he still doesn't know enough about what Ye Tao can do, but Ye Tao's attitude and bearing can be regarded as an outlier in the officialdom of any country. For a strategist like him, what he is more concerned about is whether Ye Tao will become the biggest obstacle to the future he is planning? …… This, maybe it depends on Ye Tao's own luck.
