Chapter 237: Impatience

Thinking of this, Shen Dan's brain was hot, and he turned around and went to gather many guests from Xiuyuan, and told him what happened when he met Ye Tao, and said unabashedly what he was reprimanded when he was summoned by His Majesty, and then, he proposed that those who thought he could do it go to Yunzhou with him, in fact, when he vaguely revealed that Tan Weiying had hope to enter Ye Tao's family as he wished, many people secretly made a decision. For them, Tan Weiying is far more than the status of their parents, and she is the goddess in their hearts. It is true that they have no hope of being with Her Royal Highness, but this does not affect their willingness to die for the princess, and their willingness to protect their goddess from afar, silently. And from this moment on, in fact, the group of officials that would be called the Xiuyuan Department in the future had been formed......

Ye Tao didn't know this, in fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. In Yunzhou, there are too many officials of various factions. The young children of the major local families in Yunzhou are a faction, Ye Tao is asking for the separation of political power and clan power, the clan punishment must give way to the formal judicial rulings of the government, and the major families are not allowed to enjoy privileges, and he did not deny the ability of those big clans who have worked in various places for many years, or the officials who are close to the big clans; In the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, the technical officials in Yunzhou who were originally doing this kind of thing and had few opportunities to be professional are another faction, and in the environment of Yunzhou, these technical officials have a strong right to speak; Some of these people are in the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau to play their original expertise, but there are also a small number of people who have been exposed to the same education as those children of the family since childhood, in fact, because their vision is broader, their personalities are more refreshing and straightforward. These people's achievements are really impressive; Then there are the officials who have been continuously selected and sent to Yunzhou from the territory of the Eastern Plain, and there are even many people from the Intelligence Bureau among these people.

The situation in the army is also similar, the native system of Yunzhou, the blood qi military system, the tribal system, the forbidden army system, and the Jianghu system...... If anyone else is appointed as the envoy of Yunzhou, I am afraid that they will have a headache for this. But Ye Tao has a good relationship with all parties, and he has never cared about factional issues, just whether he can do things well. Moreover, Ye Tao also once said that when the number of officials reaches a certain limit and the framework of Yunzhou's ruling and governance institutions is filled to a certain limit, a new official performance appraisal system will begin to be deployed and implemented. It doesn't matter who is which faction, it's important that everyone actively contributes to the construction of Yunzhou......

For Ye Tao. One more person who is most of the people is from a poor scholar's background, has experience in enduring hardships and studying, and has a positive character to join the officials of the embroidery garden department, I am afraid he will not feel anything.

Ye Tao was not interested in most of the activities of Concubine Lian's provincial relatives at all, especially the initial activities of worshipping the Chang family ancestral hall in Yuhang. The most unbearable thing was that Concubine Lian and her entourage set off from Danyang, and it took more than a month to arrive in Yuhang. And the most time-lading. It is the honor guards from Chunnan who open the way on foot and determine the speed of the entire group. Chunnan has never been a country with a good cavalry tradition, and Chunnan, who has always followed ancient rituals, can only do so in terms of honor guards. This made Ye Tao depressed. Due to the advancement of road works, due to the increasing maturity of four-wheeled carriage technology. Even the first generation of hydraulic ** suspension has been born, and there are a large number of horse resources, as Yunzhou Economic Strategy Envoy Ye Tao often has to go back and forth to Ye's workshop, Ningyuan City, Suiyuan City, Thunder Cliff, but Yunzhou knows that under the condition of being able to maintain a comfortable situation, the standard speed of Ye Tao and his party is between two hundred and two hundred miles a day, and this speed even includes most of the noon break.

Originally, Ye Tao felt that going to Chunnan was purely boring, and he was extremely impatient with such a trip, and complained in front of Chang Hongquan that what Yuhang was worth seeing was the bell tower project under construction. And Concubine Lian drove from Danyang to Yuhang at this time. No matter how good the scenery is along the way, according to the speed of his trip, it is not a problem to watch it ten or eight times.

Concubine Lian and Chunnan's envoys were naturally furious. Especially Concubine Lian Changling, she has long felt that there may be some problems with this trip to save relatives. Originally, she returned to her hometown to show her prestige, and at the same time used the actions of the Chunnan royal family to once again enhance her influence in the Dongping Palace and the court situation, and it was very likely that she would be disrupted by a large group of people. Ye Tao, who was nominally accompanied by the "escort", did not mean to accompany him at all, and the officer corps led by Chi Yun set off with the provincial family group. Tan Weiying personally led the young scholars of Didongping and the "cultural visiting group" did not pay much attention to Concubine Lian at all. Many of her demands were completely ignored.

In fact, Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, and Tan Weiying are all tossed out. Only the various plays that are constantly staged in the explanation hall of the Yi Zhan Building make Concubine Lian love it very much. This time, Chang Ling specially asked Liu Xiangyuan to organize a troupe to accompany him to Chunnan, but he was almost stranded because of a serious problem raised by Liu Xiangyuan: there was no suitable venue.

The typical stage structure of the lecture hall is completely unsimilar to that of Chunnan. Tan Weiying organized and funded, and now all kinds of repertoire and troupes led by Liu Xiangyuan are presided over by the troupe, and they have complained countless times that the capacity of the interpretation hall is not large enough, and only this standard stage makes the schedule completely unscheduled. Just last month, Liu Xiangyuan's troupe carefully prepared the opera for three months, and it only lasted four days, a total of seven performances, before it had to make way for another marching chess open, which made everyone complain. I am afraid that the super tight schedule of the interpretation hall will not change until the beginning of next spring, when the Lyceum Grand Theater, which is under construction, is completed.

The Lyceum Theatre, the largest hall that can accommodate 1,400 spectators, has the most ideal acoustic features of the era, and leaves room for further installation of other types of equipment a few years later. There are also six small theatres that can accommodate from 100 to 300 people, catering to different types of needs. After the completion of the construction of the Lanxin Grand Theater, all the construction teams of Ye's Construction Bank, who are responsible for the construction, will all go to Yunzhou, and begin to look forward to, look forward to, and imagine the construction of the latest city in the north of Dongping, which may not return to Danyang in the next few years, so that the Danyang people whose appetite has become more and more delicious with the continuous surprise over the years will be surprised again.

But the people of Danyang are not in a hurry. Compared with the many advanced concepts of the city in the north that has not yet been named, Danyang is indeed a little old. After the completion of the northern city, the complete renovation of Danyang will begin, and the new Danyang will implement the design and construction standard: the future capital of the whole Middle-earth unified country.

Compared with the high-spirited attitude of Dongping people and constantly seeking innovation and change, Chunnan, especially Yuhang, the national capital of Chunnan, does seem to lack confidence. If it weren't for Dai Yuege's request to go to Yuhang with two construction teams to completely renovate and rebuild a long-vacant Zongmiao building in just one month, Concubine Lian's idea of inviting Liu Xiangyuan's troupe to perform in Yuhang would have been frustrated. But Chang Ling didn't want to accept the favor of Ye Tao or people related to Ye Tao for this matter. She saw these things as another show of power.

But Chunnan, especially Chang Hongquan, couldn't force Ye Tao to accept their arrangement. Ye Tao promised to sell a large number of high-quality military horses to Chunnan, as well as the cooperation agreement that Ye Tao had reached with him in private, a package of cooperation agreements that would allow him to protect himself no matter what happened in Chunnan, plus he didn't think much of Concubine Lotus Chang Ling, Chang Hongquan finally proposed a plan that Ye Tao felt acceptable. Ye Tao will not act with the provincial team, he will first enter Chunnan, visit several places in succession, including Chang Hongquan's fiefdom Jinzhou, and then arrive in Chunnan before Concubine Lian arrives in Yuhang, with a series of activities. Then, he will take the ship of Dongping Shuishi or Seven Seas Trading Company in Yuhang Port, return to Yicheng, and then go from Yicheng to Danyang, and then back to Yunzhou.

In this way, Ye Tao was able to achieve the goal of Tan Xiaopei's request to assess Chunnan's technological potential and war production potential, but compressed the trip to a slightly more than two months. Coupled with the time between Yunzhou and Danyang, that is, four months, it is much shorter than previously expected to be half a year. As for such an arrangement, Concubine Lian will become more and more annoyed, and it will make many officials in Chunnan feel that he is extremely rude...... Speaking of which, Ye Tao really doesn't care. The inspection that Tan Xiaopei asked him to carry out has fully explained the attitude of the lord of the country.

Let a senior official like Ye Tao enter Chunnan for investigation, naturally he can't be accompanied by nearly a thousand guards and guards at any time, just like in Yunzhou. The security of the entourage was to be handed over to the Chunnan military. Ye Tao had no opinion on this, and even Liu Yong, Guan Huan, and Liu Qing had no opinion, and they personally selected a guard force of only fifty-five people. plus Ye Tao and his entourage, including female dependents, close attendants and clerks, there are a total of eighty-two people. However, Liu Yong's request for the escort force provided by Chunnan made Chunnan almost collapse, and he simply said, it doesn't matter the number of people, don't have bells and whistles of honor, but you must not delay Ye Tao's journey. And at this speed, Liu Yong politely said that it is more than 160 miles per day. Chang Hongquan was very generous to help solve this problem, and he let his own soldiers form an elite cavalry detachment together with the Chunnan Forbidden Army to undertake the task of defending this time. If it weren't for sending out all his guards, it wouldn't be good, and he even wanted to get out of this force himself. This was Sun Jin's suggestion, and he knew that several officers and guards accompanying Ye Tao in his line were proficient in cavalry techniques and tactics. You don't need them to point out, as long as you follow Ye Tao and his party back and forth, see with your eyes, and learn with your brain, even if you can only learn a look, it's a very good thing. You must know that these people around Ye Tao are far superior to the cavalry troops of the Blood Qi Army in terms of cavalry skills and tactics.
