There is no way to start a business, and there is no way to serve the country. These are the words made up by some of Danyang's gentlemen who have repeatedly been prevented from joining the army by their families or by officials who recruit soldiers and non-commissioned officers from the Ministry of War.

Talking about this matter, Tan Weixin pouted and said: "Now, the situation in Dongping is that the import and export trade is strong, the structure of foreign trade products is reasonable, the profits are considerable, the overall economic situation of the country is good, the comprehensive national strength is thriving, the domestic economy and culture are high, and the employment rate is extremely high...... In other words, whether Dongping is no longer satisfied with the status quo or the surrounding countries are not accustomed to the peaceful rise of Dongping, there is only one inevitable result, that is, war. Meritorious achievements are in the present day, plus you have been so provoked by your marching chess and grand strategy, and made the war so attractive, no wonder so many people refuse to stay obediently in the industry at home, and insist on squeezing into the army. ”

What gave Tan Weixin a headache was that since war was inevitable, and it was indeed these hot-blooded young people who could really become the backbone of non-commissioned officers in the army in the future, how to reasonably alleviate the restless mood of these people now is indeed a serious issue. She and Ye Tao both understand that although marching chess has instigated the mentality of some people yearning for the battlefield, marching chess itself will be popularized so easily, and this game has reached a fairly high level in such a short period of time, and it is indeed because it caters to the basic mentality of everyone yearning for meritorious service in the case of strong national strength. It's hard to say who's pushing whom, but perhaps, it's a useful mutual reinforcing.

"If you go to the Yi Zhan Building these days to shout and recruit recruits or something, it is estimated that half of the people in it will sign up as soon as their heads are hot." Ye Tao laughed, ignoring Tan Weixin's distressed look and white eyes.

"Still laughing, these people really don't take their lives seriously seriously. It's not fun to actually fight, it's really dead. Tan Weixin said distressedly.

"War games...... Ye Tao shook his head, and no longer continued to stimulate Tan Weixin. The two of them spent time alone. It's a bit of a disappointment to discuss such a topic.

"War Game ......" chewed on these four short words, and Tan Weixin suddenly thought of something. Her eyes suddenly lit up and reminded Ye Tao.

In the era they came from, a large number of people who had money and leisure, had enough to eat and had nothing to do, spent a lot of money to buy military uniforms, protective gear, paintball guns or imitation guns that fired rubber bullets with high-pressure air, and it was nothing new to run to special venues or go into the mountains and old forests to play war games, and even brought up a military industry. The children of the rich family who are also full of food and have nothing to do now need it. That's probably how to spend your energy.

Ye Tao patted his head and said, "This may be a good way." At the very least, it's a summer camp for hardship. ”

"Well, you can also divert another group of trained veterans, after all, all of them let these boys fool around, and such an army will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future." Tan Weixin added.

"Or...... All the soldiers were filled by veterans, and then the positions of non-commissioned officers and officers were vacated? Ye Tao suggested.

"It's a good way, it's not a problem to raise thousands of veterans, and those veterans are still desperate. The military pay is not much anyway. As for the positions of officers and non-commissioned officers...... It's certain that you don't pay money......" Tan Weixin suddenly looked at Ye Tao with great innocence, and said, "Do you want to draw some 'sponsorship' from those who want to join the army and want to go crazy?" ”

Talking about Weixin's statement made Ye Tao a little creepy, this is really a "summer camp of hardship". Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "Yes, you can, but you have to make them willing to pay." In any case, many of them must not be able to endure hardship. If you quit if you play, you should be preliminarily screened. ”

Tan Weixin smiled weirdly and said, "Not necessarily, except for those who are too." There is still a way for them to willingly stay in the army for a long time. …… Competition. Fighting with people is endlessly fun. It is enough to create two units with different names at the same time. Frequently organize technical and tactical competitions, organize training and exercises, not only to tap talents, but also to find some fun for those young masters, and we ourselves have fun to watch, isn't that great? ”

When the two excitedly discussed all the details, Tan Weixin suddenly realized a problem. She shook her head and said, "However, I really don't know if it can be done." After all, no matter how you say it, this is a private soldier, even if the military department allows it, probably the officials will not let it go. Those counselors don't dare to touch me, as for you......"

Tan Weixin squinted at Ye Tao, and the meaning couldn't be clearer. Once such a half is the army of the game is built. Even if it is beneficial to the country from the root, Ye Tao will be besieged by the officials. Of course. Ye Tao couldn't hear the court's discussion, but the pressure at that time would definitely be very huge.

A silence hung between the two of them, here, although they had more and more power, but here, after all, it was not a place where they could do whatever they wanted. After all, it's not their world.

"Well, I'm going to try this funny thing." Tan Weiying sighed lightly.

And she did. At the same time that the women's team organized by Tan Weixin was slaughtering a local team composed of some officers of the Danyang City Guard Army in the grand strategy chess game, Tan Weixin solicited the opinions of some people on organizing two small-scale experimental armies in the name of folk games. Even if they have confidence in Tan Weixin's judgment, such an army with an unknown affiliation still makes many people suspicious. And at a time when this kind of discussion should only stay in a small scope, the accusation of Ye Tao for "treating military affairs as child's play" came unexpectedly, and the officials did not know where to get the news, and the accusations came surgingly, and in the opinions of the officials, from Ye Tao's imprisonment to the lowest degree of official reprimand. Although no one dared to challenge the lord's favor for Princess Zhaohua and included Tan Weixin in it, some people faintly mentioned the so-called maintenance of the royal system.

A few days later, when Tan Weiying's team finally came out of the group stage with two consecutive wins, the argument became even stronger. Important officials of the imperial court, such as Situ Huang Xuping, who were more friendly with Ye Tao, had already reminded Ye Tao in private, so that he must not ignore this matter.

"The fox's tail is exposed," Tan Weixin said as she scooped up the warm jujube porridge and commented on what was going on now. "This army building thing. I asked my father, my uncle, Lord Situ Huang, and several subordinate officers of the military department, how to say, there should be no more than ten people who know about this matter. Moreover, my attitude towards this matter is only ...... Belch...... That half-joking, half-serious look. It's been so much now, can't you notice the article here? ”

Ye Tao scratched his head. He said, "Except for what I want to do, I stay in my own workshop, and I don't know what tricks you do." ”

Tan Weixin smiled warmly. Maybe in order to always have surprises, she always deliberately ignored the part about what Ye Tao was doing in the workshop after all kinds of news reported by those who were sent to Ye Tao's side for various reasons. She hopes to always see new and strange things, which Ye Tao brings to her, so that she can rejoice again and again, so that her body, which cannot withstand intense emotions, undergoes small challenges again and again.

"You...... Are you doing something fun? Tan Weixin asked. With a bit of speculation.

Ye Tao shook his head and said, "When IKEA opens, it must be a little overwhelmed, and I am making a set of mirror-lacquered silver-patterned furniture." If you want to talk about fun things, does a ratchet-style heavy crossbow count? You should know that. ”

Tan Weixin sighed lightly: "Ordnance...... Actually, I should have expected this outcome from the beginning. ”

"What did you expect?" I don't know much about the personnel relationship in the court, and I don't want to know much about it, Di Ye Tao asked suspiciously.

"If I'm right. The one who wants to plot against you behind the scenes should be the Hou Gao family of Deshan. …… From now on, at least in the eyes of others, the way you rose is too similar. The difference is. After four generations, the Gao family has become the largest ordnance manufacturer in Dongping, and Gao Zhen is ranked as the third public, and their energy in the court and their influence on the military and the business community in private cannot be ignored. Tan Weixin glanced at Ye Tao. She didn't have to explain much. No matter how dull Ye Tao is, he should know the story of the rise of the Gao family. At that time, the Gao family was at war with the Northern Liao and Xiling countries in Dongping for many years, and they offered fire oil bombs and new heavy hammer catapults, and became a member of Dongping's not too large lineup of high-ranking officials. The Gao family once carried the name of the place of the courtier on their backs, and insisted on it with humiliation. Constantly take all kinds of new and interesting treasures to consolidate the relationship with the Dongping royal family. Privately, they continued to expand the technology of their workshops, and constantly extended their commercial tentacles to all aspects, and finally, after several generations of operation, they also became among the ranks of the first-class families in Dongping Kingdom.

Tan Weixin understood very well why the Gao family would find an opportunity to start attacking Ye Tao at this juncture. They didn't want to see the Ye family become a rising star in the field of ordnance, especially in the field of precision ordnance, which had long been considered their own territory by the Gao family. And the Gao family is not from Ye Tao and Tan Weixin after all, especially not Ye Tao who has obviously been specially trained in manufacturing technology and design. It is also able to integrate the modern knowledge mastered. Terrifying characters who can come up with a new idea or two almost with a twist of their brains and can also put them into practice. The optimal formula of gunpowder that the Gao family has piled up with human lives for so many years is just common sense in Ye Tao, and people like Ye Tao have improved the processing accuracy to the point where they cannot be distinguished by the naked eye in just a few years. It made the Gao family a little unprepared. This is a historic breakthrough that they have always wanted to do but have never been able to achieve.

From the perspective of the Dongping royal family and the court of Dongping, the rise of the Ye family has given them an excellent choice in terms of ordnance, a choice that is superior to the products of the Gao family in terms of quality and novelty of design. It is not only a good thing to reduce costs through competition, but also an unexpected joy that restricts the situation of the Gao family's dominance. For the Gao family, the backwardness of ordnance and craftsmanship is closely related to their influence in the court, in the shopping mall, and in the army. They were all too familiar with this pattern of rise, so it was impossible for them not to restrain the Ye Clan when they were not yet old enough to compete with them.

Ye Tao is no stranger to business warfare, what he lacks is just a little enlightenment to cross pure business ideas into the realm of power. Tan Weixin sometimes feels that Ye Tao seems to be deliberately avoiding this issue and focusing his attention on the purely technical field.

Tan Weixin smiled evilly and said, "There is another thing, I think, it is better to talk to you now." Gao Zhuo, the son of the Gao family, was once the most likely person to become my husband. ”
