Chapter 51: Trust
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, there is one thing that the minister is a little puzzled about." Hesitating, Zeng Man still bowed down and said.
"What?" Tan Weixin asked nonchalantly.
"The princess has let Ye Tao already know the whole plan, isn't there something wrong......" Zeng Man was a little dismissive of the princess's seemingly excessive trust in Ye Tao, "The strength of the Ye family is indeed quite strong now, especially the Ye family's workshop, compared with them, the various equipment produced by the official family can only be said to be rude." The minister thought that it would be better for the princess to receive the Ye family as soon as possible. ”
How could Zeng Man understand Tan Weixin's trust in Ye Tao, let alone where such trust came from. Tan Weixin smiled faintly and said, "Lord Zeng, how much do you know about Ye Tao?" ”
Zeng Man's back stiffened, but his tone was still so unwavering: "Since the Ye family's workshop began to undertake the ordnance repair of Yicheng, the ministers began to pay attention to them. In Yicheng's workshop, Lichen arranged four people, and one of them was already at the level of a student engineer and was qualified to enter the ordnance workshop. Three apprentices, one in the first year, and the remaining two, one in the rough workshop and one in the fine workshop. One of the IKEA clerks was inserted by Chen, and now, according to Ye's rank, he is one of the foremen of the afternoon shift. When the Danyang branch of Ye's workshop was recruiting, the minister placed four more people in. Now they're all apprentices. ”
Tan Weixin didn't expect that Zeng Man had done so many things without making a sound. Zeng Man is not completely subordinate to himself, and in fact many of his actions are fully autonomous. Zeng Man had noticed the Ye family in Yicheng since a few years ago, and this sensitivity was really amazing. Tan Weixin looked directly at Zeng Man and said, "Lord Zeng, your arrangement is indeed a trick ahead of others, but with so many people installed, how much do you know more about Ye Tao than others?" ”
When facing the lord of the country to talk about Xiaopei, Zeng Man felt sharp, as if he could penetrate his gaze. But talking about Weixin is different, the Yingying eyes are not penetrating, but as if they are analyzing. Zeng Man hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you think...... Ye Tao is unfathomable. ”
Tan Weixin nodded and said, "Yes." Lord Zeng, in this matter, I suggest that the work of those who are planted in the Ye clan should be changed from spying to protection, and the technology of protecting the Ye clan will never be spied on by outsiders, and most importantly, to protect Ye Tao from any danger or trouble. ”
Tan Weixin talked to Zeng Man about this matter in such a consultative tone, which really made Zeng Man a little uncomfortable. He thought for a moment and said, "The minister will go back and decorate." However, Ye Tao ...... Is there such a value? ”
"You should know better than me that the Ye family can be where it is today, not because the Ye family has been an excellent carpenter for generations, but simply because of Ye Tao. Do you think that Ye Tao has become a dangerous military technology master? However, I can tell you that most of Ye Tao's skills are still hidden. If he wanted to, he could make a killing machine ten times more terrifying. But he's a good guy after all. Moreover, Ye Tao is also an excellent arithmetician, materialist, and art of war, and most importantly, he is a friend that I can completely trust. Tan Weixin said seriously.
Zeng Man did not doubt the areas that Ye Tao was good at as Tan Weixin said, but he was slightly skeptical of the statement of a master of war. In his opinion, Ye Tao is playing military chess and grand strategy, although he must have some understanding of military affairs, but he should not be able to reach the level of a master of war.
"How do you think Suo Zheng, a guy who has been in the workshop since he was a child, can be like that with a guy like Chi Yun, who has been soaking in the pile of military books since he was a child? Grand strategy gameplay is a game that needs to be supported by a clear tactical idea, and you should be able to get Suo Zheng's records of those chess games from the beginning of playing marching chess to the present. You go and see how Suo Zheng became what he is now, step by step, don't you understand. If you don't believe it, the women's team I convened will pull Ye United, especially La Ye Tao, to practice the battle, and then you can come and see Ye Tao's performance. Tan Weixin smiled and explained. People like Zeng Man are the kind of people she feels can be respected and deserved. Such a person will indeed do something because of the order, but he will not change his thoughts and opinions because of the order. Instead of asking Zeng Man what to do, it is better to let Zeng Man gradually change his opinion as his understanding of Ye Tao increases. When Zeng Man can fully trust Ye Tao, with the help of such a senior intelligence officer, she, Ye Tao and Zeng Man will definitely be able to do a lot of interesting things when they join forces.
"By the way, that carriage and horse shop, Master Zeng, have you come up with any useful names?" When Zeng Man began to have a tendency to take long exams again, Tan Weixin hurriedly changed the topic.
“…… Not yet, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to give her name. Zeng Man bowed.
With a roll of her eyes, Tan Weixin's mind flashed through a lot of names. Forget it, let's carry out piracy to the end, those names are like roulette, and after all, they paused on one name, and Tan Weixin read out the name: "So...... Let's call it FedEx. ”
Naturally, a person like Zeng Man would not change his opinion of Ye Tao because of a long conversation with the princess, especially those vigilant views, nor would he wait for the princess to arrange those opportunities that would help him improve his understanding of Ye Tao, because he would doubt whether Ye Tao's performance on such occasions was acting or real. He is a man who lives in lies, intrigues and deceptions, and has long been accustomed to looking at others from another perspective.
After all, he is the planner of FedEx, and he will hold a very important position in the FedEx system in the future as one of the covers for his identity, and at present, Zeng Man has many opportunities to contact Ye Tao. For example, ask about things like the design and refinement of those four-wheeled carriages. But Zeng Man soon discovered Ye Tao's other "so-and-so scientist" competence category - cryptographer. When Zeng Man accidentally proposed the secrecy in the middle of the transmission of information, Ye Tao may have been more excited, or perhaps he was not prepared to guard against Zeng Man at all, and actually listed more than a dozen different forms of passwords at once. From simple one-time substitution passwords to complex mathematical codes that took Zeng Man a long time to understand, each has its own characteristics. But what impressed Zeng Man the most was the four-corner number checker that Ye Tao said casually, which was combined with many other password forms to form an almost unbreakable password form. And Zeng Man also realized at once, I am afraid that in the intelligence organization that he has always been good at, there will be an extra cryptographer, a job that requires very high reliability and talent.
The identity of that art of war, Zeng Man didn't wait a few days to see it. In a grand strategic battle a few days later, because the two sides of the battle were a little unbearable, one side was led by Zhuo Tianzheng, the second son of the general Zhuo Mang, and on the other side was Tan Weixin's three younger brothers, including Tan Weiming, the prince of Dongping, and the three princes who came to watch the game process and listen to the explanation were also not low. The very popular commentator Suo Zheng didn't dare to go up and talk nonsense, so he had to let Ye Tao explain it himself.
What everyone didn't expect was that Ye Tao, who was a guest commentator, not only explained the strategic and tactical intentions of the two sides clearly, but also said something that no other commentator had ever said. For some tactical moves of the two sides, he will explain from two other aspects, one is the rationality within the rules of the chess game of the battle, and the other is the feasibility in the real military campaign, especially when the two conflict, why and how The question was explained by Ye Tao in detail, which opened the eyes of everyone present. At this moment, Zeng Manke will no longer doubt Ye Tao's identity as a "master of war".
