Calling his father Ye Laogeng and Qi Zhentao together, Ye Tao expressed his desire to go to the capital once in the near future.

"Now, what are you going to do?" Qi Zhentao feels that the research and development of the table clock is advancing steadily, and with the finalized sample, Ye Tao will not be without influence if he wants to leave for a while at this time, but it is not unacceptable, but what is Ye Tao going to do? According to Qi Zhentao's thoughts, the Yi Zhan Building is too uncourageous compared to the business of the table clock, and it is really not worth it to go to the capital to supervise the construction of the Yi Zhan Building for that matter.

But Ye Laogeng has a different idea. Knowing that "Miss Zhuo" had sent someone to deliver the letter and brought an eagle as a messenger, Ye Laogeng became more and more curious about the identity of the young lady. can only domesticate eagles to deliver letters, I am afraid that eight out of 10 wealthy families in Dongping will not be able to do it. Ye Laogen knows that to do business big, you must have your own ability, but you must also have the background. In the past, when the Ye family didn't get up, no one could rely on it, only the craftsmanship was the tightest. But the Ye family's business has reached this point, it is not a matter of money and craftsmanship, and the backer who can help himself at a critical moment is one more and a good one. Even if it was just to build a yard for that "Miss Zhuo", Ye Laogeng felt that it was right.

Qi Zhentao is in his 60s, but Ye Laogeng is only in his early 40s. It can be said that Ye Laogeng grew up listening to the legend of Qi Zhentao, although now Qi Zhentao treats the Ye family as a partner, but in the face of Qi Zhentao, Ye Laogeng is still a little trembling. When Qi Zhentao asked Ye Tao, Ye Laogeng didn't speak.

"Old man Qi, I guess tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the second and third clocks will come out, right? Actually, with the appearance of a few clocks, with me and without me, the difference is not so big. However, don't you think it's a good opportunity to let this bell go to the capital to make an appearance at this time? Ye Tao said, "When you arrive in the capital, look for an opportunity to show your face at the banquet of the dignitaries, let them make a bid, and the one with the highest price will win." It's just a deal, and it gives the grandfather clock business a prestige, isn't it? ”

"Aren't you afraid of those dignitaries in the capital*?" Qi Zhentao was a little moved by Ye Tao's statement, but he also had concerns.

"After entering Beijing, I first visited the Zuo family to withdraw money, and then went to see Miss Zhuo, and started the matter of Yizhan Building. Since my boy, those woodcarvings are in the hands of Lord Situ Huang, it is only natural for me to visit Lord Huang. Old man, do you think that anyone still dares to go down this way*? If there really is, then I'm afraid it's really a character that can't be dealt with. Ye Tao said indifferently.

Qi Zhentao snorted and asked, "What the hell are you kid still fighting?" ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, Miss Zhuo sent a messenger, and even sent an eagle to deliver the letter, and she was not in a hurry to fight the affairs of the building. But she also said that there is something I can help with now. Being able to make a contribution at this time is better than doing business in the future to win the hearts of the people, right? I know that the old man can't look down on the small family business of Yi Zhan Lou, but the Ye family has a thin background, and it can't compare to those wealthy families. And Miss Zhuo's face is really indelible. ”

Qi Zhentao pondered for a moment, looked at Ye Laogeng again, and asked, "Ye boy, you tell the truth, what is the origin of Miss Zhuo?" ”

Ye Tao thought for a while and said truthfully: "Miss Nazhuo, her real name is Tan Weixin, the most favored daughter of the current lord, Princess Zhaohua is also." As for the one who came to find my sister back to the capital later...... Unfortunately, it happened to be the crown prince. ”

Ye Tao's expression and tone are absolutely not fake, and in the past few years of dealing with Ye Tao, Qi Zhentao also knows Ye Tao's temper. If he doesn't want to say it, he can hide it to the end, but he won't make up endless lies to prevaricate him. It is precisely because of this that the prince and the princess actually came to Yicheng in micro-service, and Princess Zhaohua also became Ye Tao's business partner, which is even more incredible. And Qi Zhentao also understood, it was best to let Ye Tao go to the capital, otherwise, if something happened to the battle building of Princess Zhaohua and Ye Tao in the future, he might be angry with someone. Although the family of today's head of the country is well-known for being reasonable, the standard of reasonableness for people in that status is different from that of ordinary people.

Ye Laogeng was so shocked that he was a little speechless, of course, when he knew that his child and the princess got along well, and he would definitely be able to get the princess to take care of the business when he arrived in the capital, Ye Laogeng didn't have much thought except for joy. After inviting Qi Zhentao to have a meal together, Ye Tao's entry into Beijing this time was finalized.

A few days later, Ye Tao took ten apprentices and 20 apprentices from Ye's workshop, brought two table clocks, and under the escort of 10 family members sent by Min Yue and Qi Zhentao, and under the leadership of the guard Lu Dan, they rushed to the capital.

For Ye Tao, Lu Dan is becoming more and more curious. Although he only stayed in Yicheng for a few days, it was a good experience for Lu Dan to be able to enter the top floor of the Yizhan Building, participate in the research and development of the grand strategy of marching chess, and experience the feeling of commanding the army to fight on the huge sand table. Although it is very likely that a guard like him will serve as an officer in the army on the border in a few years, he does not think that he will be able to become a general or commander in the future with his qualifications. However, he also vaguely felt that there must be some similarities between directing the movement of the chess pieces representing the army on the sand table, watching the arbitrator calculate the losses according to the strength of both sides when the chess pieces collided, and forcing the opponent into a desperate situation step by step or being cornered by the opponent. Otherwise, this game on the table would not have fascinated Lu Dan, and almost all thoughts were on how to defeat the opponent. However, how can Ye Tao, who is so young, know what the army is fighting for?

And Ye Tao, who has never left Yicheng since he was a child, is very thoughtful about all kinds of things he prepares when he travels. It's also very curious, is there really someone who is born to know?

The line stopped for a day, and with Lu Dan as the leader of the Praetorian Guard, the journey was smooth, at least the harassment of the little officials who would fight the autumn wind and wanted to scrape some money from the traveling merchants was much less. In Dongping Kingdom, although the population of Yicheng is not very large, it is one of the most prosperous and prosperous, and the extremely suitable urban style of busy and leisurely interweaving is even more addictive. The large and small towns that I passed along the way, the freshness brought to everyone was really limited, and I walked unhurriedly for 10 days before I came to Danyang City, the capital of Dongping Kingdom.
