Ye Tao left Danyang with a full reputation. Although he only stayed in Danyang for a few days, he visited Huang Xuping and Tan Weixin and got a very high evaluation, showed off a table clock, and shocked Luo Qin, a talented man in Chunnanguo, these things are enough to make the name Ye Tao talk about in many people's mouths. On the return trip, Tan Weixin did not come to see him off, but he sent three guards to Ye Tao to protect his safety, also to strengthen the connection between himself and Ye Tao, so that when Ye Tao encountered any trouble in the course of Ye's operation, he could rely on these guards with little power and no low rank to get out of trouble.

When he returned to Yicheng, it had been more than a month since Ye Tao left Yicheng. Originally, Ye Tao was worried about the difficulties in the production of table clocks, but what he didn't expect was that in this month, a series of tools specially made for the production of table clocks have gradually been produced, and there are already many apprentices who can make and verify accurate gears. The production and processing of the escapement mechanism does not seem to be a big problem, at least several of Ye Tao's senior brothers can do this work with high precision requirements. Anyway, Ye Tao never expected to be able to produce these gears as mechanically in this era as in another time and space, and being able to combine machine tools and manual work to produce parts with such precision has given him a sense of accomplishment.

Ye Tao immediately began to mark the production of the minute watch department, which was divided into three departments: spare parts production, calibration and final assembly. While training the first watchmakers in the Eastern world of this era, trial production began. With the technical level of Yip's workshop, it has been able to produce a table clock every two to three days. The final finalized production of the table clock did not use music to tell the time, but only used a deep and bright bell, and Ye Tao simply sorted out the information of the music box that he had made relatively mature, and taught it to his brothers, and they began to prepare for the establishment of a special music box factory.

What people didn't expect is that compared with the grandfather clock factory, the music box factory seems to be more favored by apprentices and apprentices, and there are far more apprentices and apprentices who want to enter the music box factory than those who want to enter the grandfather clock factory. The remuneration in the two factories is actually better than that of the grandfather clock factory, because in addition to the original wages, in order to ensure the technical secrets of the grandfather clock, for each apprentice who enters the grandfather clock factory, Mr. Qi will also pay an additional allowance. But the pursuit of technology that Ye's Workshop has always advocated, through several years of study and training, has infiltrated into the bones of every apprentice and worker, and has played a role at this time, compared to the table clock that looks a little dull, it is obviously a music box that can play music with various timbres in the eyes of most people, a little more magical.

Ye Tao realized that the technical accumulation of Ye's workshop had reached a certain level, and began to show a trend of accumulation, and while feeling the fruitful results he had gained from his hard work over the years, Ye Tao felt extremely depressed again. Because, when the technical problem is solved, the problem of sales and the problem of establishing channels are put in the first place. When Qi Zhentao got the news from Danyang in the capital and realized that Ye Tao had become a well-known figure, he immediately began to urge Ye Tao to go to the capital.

From the last time he was going to the capital, Qi Zhentao didn't want to let him go, and now this time he is urging him when to leave, but the two times he went to the capital have completely different treatments, and the difference really makes Ye Tao very depressed.

After staying in Yicheng for less than a month, Ye Tao set off for Danyang again.

I have long known that Ye Tao must be preparing to stay in Danyang for a long time this time, and Tan Weixin has prepared a mansion for Ye Tao. It was a garden just a few minutes' walk from the princess's mansion. Built decades ago and renovated a few years ago, this garden exudes a warm and elegant atmosphere. Although no one has lived in this garden for several years, it has been well maintained. Before this, this garden was used by Tan Weixin to store all kinds of gifts, calligraphy and paintings given by others, and it was also a place that Her Royal Highness liked very much, and those that could be placed or hung on the wall were all treasures. The princess gave such a garden to Ye Tao, which really caused a lot of discussion.

"Do you dare not accept it?" Ye Tao's excuse for this garden made Tan Weixin feel very strange.

“…… Don't you know what Danyang is saying about me now? Ye Tao smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that this time I came to Danyang to take advantage of the reputation I saved last time and do some things, but it seems that the situation is not right." I feel that although I am famous now, there seem to be a lot of negative comments. Why did I suddenly become a guy who relied on your favor to sell my reputation? ”

Tan Weixin pursed her lips and said, "It's still something that the gang of people in Chunnanguo made it up." Chun Nanguo can't save this face, he must suppress you. Luo Qin doesn't have this ability, but someone does. Have you ever heard of Yuhang Song? ”

"Isn't the Song family the biggest business family in Chunnan? Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Song family? Ye Tao said strangely.

"In Dongping, big businessmen don't want to have anything to do with the government, but Chunnanguo is not...... Without the big members of the court, can the Song family have today's status? Song Yu, the fourth son of the Song family, is now in Dongping and has come to support Luo Qin. Tan Weixin said.

Touching his head, Ye Tao said, "...... Why does it sound a bit of crisis PR? ”

Tan Weixin smiled and said, "That's it, so I think it's funny." If you are a courtier, a courtier, or a fortunate minister, so what? Why don't you just look like a courtier? Riddler, isn't it the same can do all kinds of things? ”

Ye Tao was silent for a while and said, "You mean, it's fun to play?" ”

Tan Weixin said happily: "That's ah, what are you doing so nervously?" Rumors are always just rumors, you are neither incapable, nor are you without resistance to such messy rumors, and, after all, there is me in the background, what are you afraid of? ”

Ye Tao suddenly felt a little bad, and asked tentatively: "It's not that simple, right?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

"It's nothing, I just see that those guys from Chun Nan are very inauthentic. I will never let the guys in Chunnanguo succeed, and when my father and Princess Bailian get married, the guys in Chunnanguo have to hold their tails. Tan Weixin said, "As for how to do it, that's your business, what do you need, just ask me if you want it, anyway, just suppress the guys in Chunnanguo." ”

"Aren't you embarrassed for me?" Ye Tao scratched his head and said, "I don't have any money to play this anymore." Otherwise, if you can use money to smash the Song family to death, it should be a very cool thing, right? That Song Yu or something, don't be afraid of any crisis public relations. ”

"What's your idea?" Tan Weixin's eyes lit up.

"How about I build a garden across from the Golden Valley Garden? You don't have that much of a budget, but you should have a better landscape than Kanayaen. The garden design of Jingu Garden is really wasteful. Many elements are not well utilized, and they do not look very delicate in terms of decoration. ”

Tan Weixin's expression changed several times in an instant, and she sighed, "Do you know what the surrounding areas of Jingu Garden are? ”

Ye Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "I really haven't paid attention, I've only been in Danyang for so much time after all." ”

"The land opposite the door is General Zhuo's mansion, my uncle's house; On the left is the old Situ Navigation Ping's family, and Navigation Ping is also the father of the guard named Aerospace Qi you have seen me, and I am embarrassed to move his family; On the right, it's hard to get a plot, and that piece of land is a warehouse for silk and other products, but even if it's me, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to take this land from the owner of Yuan Xinchang. Tan Weixin said: "I appreciate your idea, but this operability is really hard to say. Is there any other way? ”

"Why don't you tear down your princess's mansion and let me rebuild it?" Ye Tao said.

"Phew!" Tan Weixin spat and said: "This is the garden inherited by the Dongping royal family for hundreds of years, even if I can decide, I will never let this garden be destroyed in my hands." Besides, after so many years of addition, I am still very satisfied. ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then forget it." ”

Tan Weixin thought about it carefully, and she felt that this was really a good idea. Of course, Ye Tao, as a person who has entered Danyang's high-level social circle, must have many opportunities to meet and confront Luo Qin and Song Yu. Even if Ye Tao wants to avoid it, the two sluts in Chunnanguo will probably not let Ye Tao go, and now, I am afraid that only by suppressing Ye Tao can Chunnanguo's action to fight for status in the upper echelons of Dongping Kingdom be rationalized. However, a beautiful garden is like a monument, and it plays a role that cannot be achieved by striking the guys of Chunnan Country a hundred times in words. Dongping and Chunnan, whose culture is prosperous, whose skills are exquisite, and who is selling fame and reputation, as soon as the results come out, all those who are watching and arguing must shut up. What's more, in this era, as long as the funds are guaranteed and the technical means are excellent, in fact, it does not take much time to build a garden. That's a few months.

The reason why a garden becomes a garden is to spend most of its time making those trees and flowers look like they. And these, as long as they are properly operated, transplanting is not a very difficult thing.

After thinking for a long time, Tan Weixin asked, "If it's not a garden, are you interested?" ”

Tan Weixin mentioned an opportunity, now that Danyang is expanding outward, the city's space is not enough. The Dongping royal family and the military department are discussing the need to station 24,000 soldiers originally stationed in the city outside the city, and are trying to build a huge barracks in Danqing Mountain, which is less than five miles away from Danyang.

Tan Weixin has a certain say in this matter, because among the 24,000 soldiers who moved out of the city, 4,000 were supported by the forbidden army with royal currency, and one-third of the construction cost of the entire huge barracks was allocated by domestic currency. Tan Weixin's opinion is that it is better to pay a little more in the early stage and ensure that the barracks has a capacity of at least 40,000 to 50,000 people, but the military department is unwilling to bear these extra costs. If according to Tan Weixin's idea, the construction cost of the entire battalion will be as high as 1.4 million taels of silver, and no matter how much it is argued, the military department is only willing to bear 600,000 taels at most, and let Tan Weixin bear all the remaining funds, Tan Weixin also feels uncomfortable.

However, if the construction of this barracks can be endowed with another function, then it will not be a big problem for Tan Weixin to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The construction of this barracks can use the army to participate in the construction, and a large number of craftsmen of the army can also participate in the construction, and it may take less time to build such a magnificent barracks than to build a beautiful garden. If the construction plan can be determined immediately, it may even be completed before the Kanaya Park is fully completed.

After listening to Tan Weixin's suggestion, Ye Tao was very tempted. For Ye Tao, the significance of building gardens and magnificent buildings is probably equivalent to building models in the original time and space. It's just that the time and space are different, and the abilities are also different, and what was absolutely not capable of accomplishing in the past is not a big problem here. Ye Tao's mind began to swirl around the shapes of various fortresses, barracks, castles, and cities, and it was really exciting for her to be able to participate in and even preside over such a project.

"How? Feeling a little excited? Tan Weixin saw the change in Ye Tao's expression, and the expression on Ye Tao's face was like that of a big boy who saw a fun toy.

"Good! I took it. Ye Tao said categorically.

"That's good, I'll let the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War come to negotiate with you, and your name is still the school secretary of Princess Zhaohua's mansion." Tan Weixin once again emphasized the identity she was able to give Yu Ye Tao. It's not that I don't know how complicated this officialdom really is, but, many times, if you want to do something, you have to wade into that fierce and filthy river. The identity of this school scrivener can only be regarded as an insignificant and small title, not even an official position. However, on the one hand, this can avoid the tilt of officialdom directly on Ye Tao's body, but it is indeed an identity that can get along with those officials who work together. Considering the influence of the Princess Mansion on the officialdom of the entire Dongping Kingdom, this identity is basically enough.
