Chapter 308: Fifteen-Year Outline
Chapter 308: Fifteen-Year Outline
Unconsciously, a few months have passed, although, as a princess, her ceremony out of the pavilion is too simple, and it can't be compared with the wedding of Weixin and Ye Tao at the beginning, but they worshiped the ancestors together in the ancestral temple of Jiangshan Fort, and then there was a wedding banquet with a very limited scope. Those who can appear at the wedding banquet are the closest relatives and friends of the Tan family and the Ye family, as well as the ministers and generals who are the absolute core of Dongping. If you want to talk about the specs, it's not low, it's just very, very low-key. After all, let Ye Tao marry two princesses alone and become the only double colt in history, and everyone doesn't know what to do.
But even though the wedding banquet and ceremony were so low-key, the gifts from all the guests were extraordinarily solid. It was even more valuable than when Ye Tao and Tan Weixin got married. Tan Weiying figured it out by herself, perhaps because she was not as good at taking care of herself as her sister after all. Each member of the Dongping royal family has a property of his own, Tan Weixin is rich, and she is the kind of smart and steady character, she will naturally prepare what she needs, and she is unwilling to let herself be wronged, but although Tan Weixin has performed so well in recent years, she is still a child in front of these uncles and uncles who have watched her grow up. And children, naturally, should give more candy to eat. Tan Weiying didn't suspect that this was compensation for everyone's low-key handling of their marriage with Ye Tao.
And when he came to Yunzhou and entered this family with his own sister and his good friend Dai Qiuyan, Tan Weiying didn't feel uncomfortable at all. In Yunzhou, there are fresh tricks here all the time, so that you are overwhelmed. And when Tan Weiying kept trying all kinds of new things, the most painful thing was her chief of guard, Jin Ze.
There are two situations that are most troublesome for these royal guards, one is to be involved in armed conflicts such as wars, raids, assassinations, etc., and the other is to have unexpected entertainment.
For the former, Kanazawa is very relieved, he has never seen such a peaceful place as Yunzhou in his life. In Ningyuan City, Suiyuan City, and Thunder Cliff, those important officials under the Yunzhou Jingluo Prefecture, especially the young officials, often rode horses alone or called a groom to catch up with the car and set off. The light car is far from enough to describe the situation in Yunzhou. There are many middle-level officials in the Civil Affairs Bureau who often have to travel to other cities and towns on business to run around Yunzhou with all their carry-on luggage in a leather bag. As for the wealthy merchants, they are now gradually getting into this habit. In a place where people from Ye Tao don't pay much attention to pomp and circumstance, everyone doesn't pay attention to it. The officials may still have the intention of figuring out what they want, but those businessmen and wealthy businessmen have also reined in after a few times of their own pomp and circumstance and being ridiculed.
But the magic is magical, in Yunzhou, in this case, theft, robbery, kidnapping and other things are still very, very few, so small that they can be ignored. But as long as this kind of thing happens, the reaction of the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion will inevitably be extremely violent, and everything involving the gang will be thoroughly investigated and eliminated. At present, although Yunzhou cannot be said to be untouched and does not close its doors at night, the public security is indeed very good. Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun, Dai Qiuyan and others have always liked to travel in micro-services, and only brought a minimum entourage to play, and there have never been any problems. Although everyone has the habit of wearing weapons with them in Yunzhou, it is only due to the martial style, and many short swords, daggers and other things worn by wealthy merchants are far more decorative than practical.
And the problem is in going out and playing. Before coming to Yunzhou, Jin Ze felt that the future would probably be difficult, in a place like Yunzhou, where did Ye Tao's family have less activities such as hunting and outings. But for a veteran guard like Kanazawa, he is very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene, otherwise, he would not have been appointed as Tan Weiying's chief guard. However, Kanazawa never imagined that activities such as hunting and outings could not be considered a problem at all. Although Tan Weiying used to like the whole person, his temperament was not rude, he came to Yunzhou and took Dai Qiuyan out to sketch and see the scenery many times in the past. Even if you go to the hunting ground and pasture, the funny attraction of going to find those cute little animals is greater, and you can talk about Wei Ying's not good archery skills. However, there are some activities that Kanazawa doesn't know how to do security work at all, such as ...... Flight.
After the first airship demonstration in Ye's workshop, Tan Weiying, who was very interested in this novelty, pestered Ye Tao and agreed that she would also fly once. And the first flight she carried out was an experimental flight from Ningyuan to Suiyuan. Ye Tao, Tan Weiying, Liu Yong and Jin Ze accounted for half of the airship's flight establishment. Liu Yong was very interested in this kind of attempt, but poor Jin Ze was dizzy in the air, and he didn't know what to do at all. However, it was surprising that the airship had crossed the mountains and reached Suiyuan with a tailwind in one day against the obvious reference on the ground. Since he has set a precedent, Ye Tao simply built an airship for his family in addition to the formal production plan, and even opened an airship mooring yard in the villa. Compared with the mass-produced airship, this airship is naturally much more comfortable and slightly larger in volume. It can carry fourteen people and carries a pair of binoculars in the bow. And there is no need to blow the wind all the time in an airship, but there is a cockpit that can accommodate eight people, which is very comfortable. The round portholes of the B glass still allow the people who ride the airship to see the scenery outside at any time.
As the weather gets hotter, it has to be said that flying in the air by airship is becoming more and more comfortable. Not to mention the temperature in the air, which is obviously cooler than on the ground, even if the sound of the wheels is replaced by the whirring of the wind, and the bumps of the vehicle are taken over by the rhythm of the gentle swaying in the wind, it is much more comfortable than traveling on the ground. Tan Weiying also likes to fly more and more, and now he has to fly almost every few days, and he is more diligent than the professional pilots who are constantly trying new routes and calculating the delivery time of the letter bureau. What's even more terrifying is that even though Jin Ze sometimes complains, Ye Tao not only did not stop Tan Weiying from flying, but also made special goggles for her to teach her how to fly. When the time entered July, Chunnan had already begun to launch an offensive, capturing the three cities of Xiling in just a few days, and Yunzhou was all ready, Tan Weiying's skills in controlling the airship were among the best in the entire airship team in Yunzhou.
So, when Yunzhou was going to hold an important meeting at Thunder Cliff again to finally confirm the preparations for war, Tan Weiying took the initiative to ask Ying to personally control the airship to carry out this long-distance flight from the mountain villa to Thunder Cliff.
This is the first time in many years that Yunzhou has expanded outward. It depends on this time whether Yunzhou's various systems and methods, which are completely different from those of Dongping, can play a role in actual operations, whether they can fully demonstrate Yunzhou's strength, and whether Yunzhou's military, government affairs, and other preparations are correct.
This kind of meeting has been held in Yunzhou many times, and the style of attaching importance to professionalism and coordination and cooperation between various departments has begun to take shape when Ye Tao took over the position of Yunzhou Economic Strategy Envoy and divided the departments. But the more important agenda of this meeting was a very small meeting attended by only a dozen people, and at this meeting, Ye Tao came up with a fifteen-year strategy that had been planned and perfected in the past few months. The main content of the strategy is the long-term development of Yunzhou, and in the next 15 years, Yunzhou will further strengthen the advantages of comprehensive management guaranteed by the system on the premise of providing sufficient military horses, ordnance, and technical equipment for the rest of the Dongping prefectures, and raise Yunzhou's military, economic, and other aspects to a new level. In this fifteen-year plan, there are also various short-term and long-term methods of continuous encroachment and weakening of Xiling, some of which have already begun to be implemented. Even Lei Huang came to Yunzhou again to listen to this important meeting. The last time he went to Danyang, he met with the lord and the prince, and they both greatly praised his achievements. Even so, after returning to Xiling, he gradually transferred power to the high-ranking priesthood after the arrival of personnel from the Intelligence Bureau and the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion. And this time he came to Yunzhou to let Ye Tao fulfill the promise that asked him to do something interesting.
Lei Huang was not disappointed, he had been worshipping Ye Tao like a god, and he hadn't seen him for a few months, this time he greeted Ye Tao at the top of a cleared and leveled hill in Thunder Cliff, and saw an airship falling from the sky. Because I was worried that Ye Tao's family's airships always flew alone, under everyone's strong recommendation, an escort formation composed of four airships was finally formed. The rope dropped by the slightly larger airship carrying the Ye family was caught by the sergeant at the top of the mountain, tightened, and tied to the iron pillar that had been set up on the ground long ago. Then, the suspension ladder of the airship was lowered, Ye Tao jumped down first, waved his hand to the people waiting for him, and took Tan Weixin, Dai Yun, Tan Weiying, Dai Qiuyan and even Sophie who flew from the same boat one by one, and walked to everyone side by side.
At the top of Yunzhou, the existence of airships is no secret, even among many ordinary people, airships have changed from the earliest mysterious to the present, although they can still cause surprise and yearning, but they are no longer a fuss. However, the first time he saw something flying, and seeing Ye Tao calmly get down from the airship, Lei Huang still bowed to the ground with reverence.
"Lei Huang, what are you doing?" Tan Wei smiled and asked, "It's fun to fly, right?" Wait a minute, let you fly too. ”
Lei Huang humbly and cautiously looked at Tan Weiying, who was dressed strangely. Tan Weiying also looked at this very mysterious and interesting guy. After a long flight, Tan Weiying was a little dizzy, she walked up and pulled Lei Huang by the hand, and said, "Your Excellency, don't lie on the ground, Ye Tao is still looking for you to have something." ”
"Yes." Lei Huang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Tao, who was a little helpless in his smile, and then got up.
Tan Weiying turned around with a smile, but he didn't expect to be dizzy, and suddenly he fell soft. Ye Tao hurriedly grabbed it and hugged Tan Weiying in his arms.
