was also surprised by Ye Tao's calmness, including the national lord Tan Xiaopei. When Ye Tao bowed to him, when Tan Weixin symbolically introduced Ye Tao to the lord of the country, and when he and Tan Xiaopei praised him for his outstanding performance a while ago and for making him an all-too-beloved gift like the Iron Blood Hero Cup, Ye Tao's performance was far more sophisticated than Tan Xiaopei expected, and far more indifferent than he expected. Indeed, what he got was what he deserved, and Ye Tao's expression, while being calm, was a little different. If you want to describe it reluctantly, Tan Xiaopei feels that it seems that Ye Tao is still not satisfied with his performance.

"Ye Tao," Tan Xiaopei finally turned his gaze to Ye Tao after asking about the general progress, "The rough outline of this barracks was planned by you?" ”

Ye Tao bowed down and replied, "It's down." ”

Tan Xiaopei nodded and continued to ask: "I remember that at first, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs discussed and decided to establish a barracks, but the sketch you gave was really a city. The difference between these is a bit too big, isn't it? ”

Ye Tao was stunned, but there was no condemnation in Tan Xiaopei's tone, as if he just wanted to get a more acceptable explanation. Ye Tao sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said Kankan: "Qi Qi Lord, it is actually not inappropriate to say that this barracks is a city. According to the domestic system of Dongping, if the population is 100,000, it can be called a city, and the city walls, moats, etc., required according to this level, can be built with a certain system. Moreover, such a system must not be due to issues such as etiquette, but more due to the high cost of building walls and digging moats, and it is not appropriate to add too much economic burden to the state. However, as long as there are conditions, the city, and even the places below the city, are still encouraged to build their own suitable defense system. Dongping has 22 cities that meet the population standard, but in fact, there are 49 local defense systems that meet the city standard. And with the importance of the barracks here, it is naturally worthy of building according to the standards of the city. ”

Tan Xiaopei glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Ye Tao knew that it was not strange that he was asked to do this kind of work, which must be extremely unfamiliar to his resume, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War always had to come up with information so that Ye Tao could have a general understanding of the current situation of Dongping in terms of city construction. In this era when there is no so-called concept of secrecy, whether it is more important than Ye Tao as a young but extremely talented craftsman, or because Ye Tao is the person recommended and guaranteed by Princess Tan Weixin of Zhaohua, the information of the Ministry of Industry will be opened to Ye Tao to the greatest extent.

Tan Xiaopei didn't think that what Ye Tao said was anything special, after all, this was the reality of Dongping Kingdom, but Tan Xiaopei felt that it seemed that what Ye Tao wanted to say was just the beginning...... Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "What you want to say, but that's all?" If you have more ideas, you can say them together. For the country, this is a big project after all, but it is not irreplaceable. However, to be able to preside over the planning of this project, the meaning must be different for you, right? ”

Tan Xiaopei's very relaxed statement seems to make Ye Tao feel that in the past, in the company, he made presentations to bosses and customers to explain his design ideas. His eyes lit up, and he bowed down and said, "You should obey your fate." ”

In the original era, although Tan Weixin always felt that she was not proud, there were many opportunities to make this kind of expression in the company. After all, conference culture is already one of the basic elements of modern enterprises, and seeing Ye Tao's spirit, Tan Weixin wanted to laugh.

After straightening up, Ye Tao said in a clear voice: "From the very beginning, I designed this so-called barracks as a city. Danyang, as the capital of Dongping, has been built for a long time, due to population growth, all aspects of business travel than when it was first built, I don't know how many times, in fact, now in the city to assume the function, has been a little inadequate. Whether it is the original design and planning, or the current city, there are many problems in the allocation and use of space. ”

As Ye Tao spoke, his gestures began to increase, as if he was making a well-prepared speech, or a normal expression at a meeting with some people whose status was not so different to him. For a successful person in the modern workplace, perhaps the gestures, movements, and even the simple eye movements that accompany the language to strengthen one's persuasiveness are skills that need to be mastered, and they are all skills that are built up with repeated attempts, experiences, successes and failures, and are about to turn into conditioned skills. And these natural movements, combined with the tone of inhibition and frustration, made what Ye Tao said more likely to affect others.

“…… For now, the city is still a relatively closed space. For we need walls to protect the city, and this will probably not change until the walls are far more restrictive to us than they are to thwart the enemy's attacks. Then, in the limited space of the city, how to allocate the space and how to make all the space of the city can play its due role is a very serious problem. The decision on how to allocate such space is largely a representation of the rulers' vision of the city's temperament and function. ”

Speaking of this, everyone present was shocked, the function of the city, the temperament of the city, some of them may be vaguely aware of these ideas, but never dare to say them in public. At most, it's just a reference when making certain decisions.

"For example, Yicheng, as a seaport city and located at the mouth of the Luohe River, is the most convenient and fast bridge for communication between the inland areas of Dongping and the outside world. Her function is the flow and exchange of materials, and her temperament, on the one hand, is mercantile and wealthy, and on the other hand, it becomes casual and comfortable due to the unique climate and geographical conditions of Yicheng. In terms of defense, it can be said that although it meets the standards of urban defense facilities in large cities, it is only in line with them, and there are no bright spots, and it can even be said that there are not many powerful defense measures. But this does not affect the status of Yicheng as an important city, in Dongping, and even on the entire mainland. ”

Danyang, on the other hand, is different. Danyang, the capital of Dongping, is a special city that is different from any other city. After Ye Tao paused, he said: "In addition to assuming the function of an ordinary city, Danyang is also an important occasion to show everyone the strength of Dongping Kingdom in all aspects. These multifaceted strengths include population, economy, military, and culture. To talk about the population, Danyang City now has a permanent population of nearly 900,000, plus the business travel and the hired workers who follow the business travel, etc., for various reasons to come to Danyang of the national missions, the peak period, but also to add to the Danyang examination students from all over the country, the need to stay more than one million people, the prosperity of the population is self-evident. It's just that for Danyang, it's a little too prosperous. Speaking of economy, six of the top ten merchants in Dongping have their head offices here, and all kinds of shops and workshops are lined up one after another, which is also very good. In terms of culture, Danyang seems to be slightly insufficient, the Qinglou of the teaching workshop can only be regarded as an entertainment venue, and the calligraphy and painting shop and jade shop can only be regarded as luxury consumption, and it has little to do with culture, so there is a lot of room to make up for it. In terms of military affairs, the garrison of Danyang City often exceeds 100,000 people, and the procedures for the transfer and dispatch of military brigades in various places change according to the different procedures, which cannot be considered much compared to the importance of Danyang, but if you add the people who directly and indirectly serve the army, there may be 150,000 to 200,000 people, including craftsmen who manufacture ordnance, and various personnel who prepare clothing, other utensils, and food and drink for the army. …… I think that there are various reasons for the construction of the barracks in the west of the city this time, but considering the imbalance in the ratio of Danyang in this regard, it should also be one of the considerations to divert the population of Danyang City and make room for Danyang to take a breath. ”

Seeing that Tan Xiaopei nodded appreciatively, Ye Tao smiled and continued: "Since this is the case, why not take this opportunity to sort out Danyang City to a greater extent?" The garrison can be diverted from a part, tens of thousands of people, plus the families of the local garrison, plus the large number of personnel who will inevitably follow the past, there are almost 80,000 to 100,000 people. Even these 80,000 to 100,000 people are enough to run a city. Danyang, as the capital of Dongping, has many precision ordnance workshops, which should also be transferred to the past, at least, the ordnance department of my Ye Workshop is ready to be set up there. In a jurisdiction where the military and military families lived, the extent to which craftsmen and apprentices had limited contact with the outside world greatly reduced the likelihood of an exodus of many of the skills that were unique to Dongping. In fact, even if it is a workshop of other types, especially pottery and porcelain workshops, I think that the smoke of the kiln will not be pleasing to the eye. These workshops may not be qualified to enter the barracks, but due to the construction of the barracks, in fact, the distance between Danyang and the barracks is not very long, and it can be regarded as extremely safe. And the free up space can be used for other things. Danyang is a unique city, and she should have the ability to dominate the entire surrounding space, including Danyang, including the barracks, and naturally should also include the surrounding places that can be used but are now idle. ”

Tan Weixin nodded secretly. Ye Tao said these words, including seems to have been until modern times began to be gradually developed urban planning, urban positioning, urban functional design ideas, faintly pointed out of those things, although it is not easy to implement, but after several years of planning and deployment, once you can do your best, you can make the development of Danyang and the surrounding areas to a higher level, no longer the city in this era is always blindly piled up population and shops and workshops of extensive development, but more detailed, more comprehensive and more professional development. Ye Tao's statements, among all the people present, probably only she can understand them completely, and as a professional in economics, she can do more and more than Ye Tao imagined.

And Tan Weixin couldn't help but sigh. Her body really can't afford too heavy work, and Ye Tao's statements seem to be easy to affirm, when it comes to implementing one item at a time, what will she be tired of?

In any case, everyone, including her, was succumbed to the theories and visions revealed in the young Ye Tao's eloquent conversation at this moment. The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War originally only thought that Ye Tao's design took into account both beauty and function, and the ideas in all aspects were also very unique, but at this moment, they finally clarified the reason why Ye Tao made this series of designs and insisted on refusing to change them in some places that they thought were not necessary. Ye Tao has a higher perspective to look at the construction of a barracks, and these are exactly what they should have done but failed to do.
