() After Ye Tao finished saying his thoughts and got the unanimous opinion of all the bigwigs present, he also realized that he must rush back to Yunzhou as soon as possible. Yunzhou can indeed run smoothly for several months in Ye Tao's absence, but it can't go on like this forever. In any case, Ye Tao is the soul of the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion that now governs the entire Yunzhou.

After staying in Danyang for another two days, meeting with the crown prince Tan Weiming and chatting, and getting together with the Dai family living in Danyang, Ye Tao embarked on the road back to Yunzhou. This also made the officials up and down the Yunzhou Economic Strategy Mansion finally breathe a sigh of relief, especially Liu Qing, who was too busy, to finally see the bright prospect of his workload declining after Feng returned to work. For the battle plan that Ye Tao said, there is no one around Ye Tao who can provide any reference at present, but this is an opportunity to comprehensively test the recovery of Yunzhou. Once this kind of complex and dense plan can be carried out smoothly, those who participate in the planning of such things will be honored. And in order to make Yunzhou more smooth in the battle, Tan Xiaopei also gave very practical assistance: the strength of a battalion.

This is not just a random force of more than 3,000 people, but a brand-new heavy equipment battalion that has been secretly recruited and kneaded together by officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have retired from the Blood Qi Army and the Blood Qi Army's heavy weapons battalion over the years. These more than 3,000 people have been placed in the sequence of the mountain fort and included in the expenses of the Tan family's soldiers. As for the expensive equipment, especially the various sighting tools with limited production, a lot of thought has been put into it. Actually, if Ye Tao really wanted to know about the existence of this army. He'll be able to do it. Although the production of heavy equipment such as catapults and divine arm bows was reduced and gradually distributed to the workshops of other clans in the country, none of the workshops used to observe and calculate the trajectory of the ground aiming equipment could follow. It is all produced by the original factory of Ye's Workshop. And the sales of equipment in the extra battalion, this number is not small. But Ye Tao is obviously too busy.

When it comes to sustained offensive operations, the role that a heavy equipment battalion can play is immeasurable. Although Yunzhou's own heavy equipment battalion is now equipped with everything in place, and the training is also carried out in a decent manner, the problem is that it is always so bad. More than one-third of this heavy equipment battalion, which was composed entirely of veterans, participated in the Battle of Yunzhou. I know the kind of battle of Suiyuan, which relied on heavy infantry to withstand the attack, almost completely relied on the heavy equipment battalion and the longbow battalion to kill and wound, and pushed the battle line out layer by layer, leaving almost a scorched black and bloody mark on the earth. After that experience, their views on the positioning of the heavy equipment battalion, their self-confidence and arrogance in combat were completely different.

After entering Yunzhou, it continued to march north. Yunzhou, who has only been away for a few months, has made Ye Tao feel a little refreshed.

Since the weather in Yunzhou is generally colder than in the south, Ye Tao's return trip will at least be considered mid-autumn. In other places, this is mostly a slightly depressed season, but in Yunzhou. But you can see the travelers coming and going, the endless stream of caravans and the most cordial people who are contributing to the construction of Yunzhou.

Yunzhou's forward-looking afforestation policy, which is incomprehensibly strong, is being firmly implemented. Street trees are planted on both sides of the main roads and on both sides of the main arterial roads of the city. In some places, after assessment by experts from the Bureau of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, if it is determined that it is not suitable for growing grain and other crops, the operation of returning farmland to farmland will be considered...... Although many policies were explained by officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau, with the exception of a few measures, they were not mandatory, but were assigned to the many invalids farms and invalids pastures in Yunzhou to carry them out. Two months ago, the first Invalides Forest Farm was built.

The energy that the organized government-run production system can exert under Tan Weixin's personal intervention is amazing, but Tan Weixin has already planted the seeds of collective ownership transformation in these industries in the future. These government-run farms, pastures, forestry farms and related workshops have no cost advantage over private businesses because they have a large number of veterans, especially disabled soldiers, who need to be supported. In terms of afforestation, it took over the task of the Jinglu Prefecture, and even allocated manpower, which was not too abundant. However, this part of the quasi-government-run industry not only has to compete on the same level as many businesses, but even shows a very strong characteristic: quality.

All kinds of agricultural products produced by the Invalids Farm, whether it is raw materials, grain or processed products, are meticulous in all aspects and can definitely stand up to pickiness. Even in the past few months, there has been a tendency to specialize farms and ranches, and these government-run workshops have actually had a brand effect. For example, in

The kind of saddle with the Arabic numeral 51 on the brass nails is the leather workshop that came to the Invalides Ranch, and now it is 30% more expensive than other saddles, and that kind of work is indeed jīng meticulous, fully considering the various needs of the rider.

—

When walking through those busy streets and passing some markets, you can often see oatmeal cakes from Nineteen Farms, nǎi shortbreads from Twenty-two Farms, aromatherapy horse jerky from Seventeen Ranches, and so on...... Ye Tao immediately thought that it must be Tan Weixin who had done something to the Invalids Ranch and Ranch system in these rìs. Sometimes, a few small ideas, hints, and a few just the right amount of encouragement can make a difference.

—

The concept of brand was first played by Ye Tao's Ye Workshop, forming a product series of mutual dú lì, and now, because of the example of Ye Workshop, a brand community in this time and space has been formed. Although the vast majority of brands are still only word-of-mouth management, not to mention any concepts such as brand culture and brand management, they are not something that can be achieved overnight. However, in a private data analysis conducted by Tan Weixin, it was shown that goods and merchants with brands or initial brand awareness accounted for more than one-third of the commercial tax contribution in the entire Yunzhou.

—

The prosperity of the business has naturally brought a large amount of commercial tax revenue, although the commercial tax rate in Yunzhou is very low, but looking through the statements of the past few months, the income figures and growth rate are very gratifying. With the frequency of transactions, the Yunzhou Development Fund, which is trying to bank, has actually begun to try some bank-type business, for example, many merchants will go to the office of the Yunzhou Development Fund in the city when trading, and use the form of transfer to deliver, avoiding frequent physical transactions of gold and silver. In this case, the anti-counterfeiting effect of documents and contracts of Yunzhou Development Fund is also directly chasing the banknotes of that era in Ye Tao's impression. In particular, on the kind of small checks that the Yunzhou Development Fund has just made, there have been complex anti-counterfeiting patterns, watermarks, changing sè ink and other anti-counterfeiting measures...... Especially the kind of ink, as far as Ye Tao knows, just using natural materials to make this kind of ink, the cost of the test is quite considerable. It's not that everyone likes natural materials, but petroleum refining seems to be an impossible task now.

However, the most puzzling thing is that Yunzhou actually began to carry out various sports in this autumn and winter. There are many projects that make Ye Tao a little overwhelmed.

—

The most puzzling thing is the mutated polo sport. Speaking of which, Yunzhou has incomparably rich animal husbandry resources, and it should be very suitable to carry out polo sports, but this is not the case. Since polo requires a high degree of control and flexibility over the pasture, the Yunzhou tribe, who were originally excited to play polo, found that it seemed that soft-spoken ponies were more suitable for the sport. This time it's going to be a hornet's nest. Underage ponies can indeed perform well in polo, but they can also suffer extremely serious injuries, and the horse's life may be ruined. Several horse-loving tribal heroes were the first to express their dissatisfaction with the sport, and the ripple effect was that the entire Yunzhou tribe began to gradually abandon the sport.

—

However, polo did not die out in Yunzhou, but spread among the people in the south who were mainly planters. Although there was some luxury in using good foals and some danger in using adult horses, the clever and kind people soon found a replacement - donkeys. Although the donkey is not fast enough, its endurance is very good, which greatly reduces the confrontation of polo and greatly enhances the continuity of the game. And the fact that polo has become a donkey ball also brings new fun. Because of the elusive xìng of the donkey, this undisciplined creature often makes some moths out of the game, which makes everyone laugh.

—

There is also a kind of movement that was directly born out of Ye Tao's assessment project to select soldiers for the special battalion. The officers and soldiers of the Yunzhou armies found it a fun game to remove the fierce and brutal parts of the competition. This kind of game, mixed with hide-and-seek and orienteering, quickly swept the Yunzhou army. Now there is even a three-person team play, and there are more formal rules for the sport, and some troops have begun to fight against each other. Although it may not be able to keep up with this production completely, in any case, this campaign is of great benefit to improving the quality of individual soldiers in the Yunzhou army.
