Ye Tao became more and more eager to be able to divide himself into two or more to deal with more and more tedious affairs. Even though there are already a few senior brothers who have helped him block so many things, even if Sophie is becoming more and more skilled in handling a lot of paperwork for him, even though Lu Dan has almost become the most arrogant manager in Danyang to help him smooth out many problems that do not need to be seen in person, there are still so many things. Especially, when he left Danyang for nearly a month, he made the bell tower plan in Yicheng that is now attracting national attention.

Although most of the wealthy households in Danyang are based on traditional industries such as agriculture, department stores, knitting and textiles, jewelry and luxury goods, engraving and printing, or because the military manufacturing and supporting products industry linked to the "government procurement" of the Dongping military and government are not as flamboyant and aggressive as the maritime merchant groups in Yicheng, the accumulation of wealth has gone through several generations, even more than ten generations, and the depth of the foundation is not comparable to that of pirates-turned-maritime merchants like Qi Zhentao. In Yicheng, the Seven Seas Trading Company was vigorously formed, forming a business group with national financial resources and influence, and once it was completed, the bell tower, which was undoubtedly the tallest building in the world, was completed, and the merchants of Danyang couldn't sit still.

Two days after returning to Danyang, Ye Tao was solemnly asked about the possibility of building a higher bell tower in Danyang at a banquet initiated by several big families in Danyang, and vaguely, Ye Tao heard that a consortium called "Kyushu Trading Company" was being prepared. Behind this outrageous consortium with abundant financial resources, there is a faint Dongping imperial court...... Maybe it's the shadow of Tan Weixin, who represents the inner government.

And has been in the years of cooperation has been completely nourished appetite, has become the most technical content of this era set of developers, construction teams, supervision companies, sales companies and even property management companies a variety of roles and one of the big boss Dai Yuege, keenly smelled such a magnificent project in the smell of others, he has been actively training the engineering team that can be competent for general engineering on the one hand, on the other hand, many old guys and elite soldiers in Dai's construction bank have been dispatched to study Ye Tao's sketches and models, Started the preliminary technical research and technical preparation......

At the mediation of no one knows. The wealthy families of Danyang and the maritime merchants of Yicheng reached an agreement: the bell tower in Yicheng can be lower than the one built in Danyang, but the bell tower in Yicheng must be built more than half a year earlier than the bell tower in Danyang.

And this agreement was reached without Ye Tao's participation. The huge riches in the two places, who had already prepared a huge amount of construction money, completely ignored Ye Taodi's opinion this time.

Damn, when I didn't exist! Ye Tao, who was smiling bitterly, wanted to look up to the sky and scold. It is an irresistible opportunity for any designer and architect to be able to undertake two landmark buildings at the same time, and to continuously refresh the record of the highest building in this era. But, be aware. Now, except for Dai Yuege's Dai Yue Pavilion's Construction Bank, which has been trained and armed by Ye Tao and Ye's Workshop for several years, no builder in the world can undertake such a project, and even if it is a big boss of Dai Yue Pavilion, at most he can concentrate elite forces to ensure the project in one place. Of course, after undertaking such difficult projects one after another, Dai Yuege, who now attaches great importance to technical reserves and personnel training, can cultivate a large number of talents with expertise in engineering technology and engineering management, but that is a long time later. Even if all the technical problems do not exist today, there is a constant supply of prefabricated parts of cast iron, special floor tiles and other materials. Even if the construction project starts from piling now, even if the human resources are abundant like a sea of ants, according to Ye Tao's estimate, within a year and a half, the bell tower in Yicheng will not be preliminarily completed. And Danyang? Don't say give another half a year. Don't even think about it for another year. The technical difficulty of the two-hundred-eighty-foot tower is already quite terrifying, and if you want to go to the next level, God knows how many problems will arise.

Make! Why don't you make it?! Facing the huge riches in the two places, waving silver tickets, they are not afraid of Ye Tao's lion opening their mouths, but they are afraid that Ye Tao will not agree to the momentum. Ye Tao also held back his strength.

Therefore, on the one hand, Ye Tao arranged for Dai Yuege's subordinates to go to the workshop to carry out technical research with Guan Haishan and others, and on the other hand, according to the original specifications of the land in Yicheng, he also held a grand briefing to explain the function of the bell tower, the difficulty of construction, the budget, and the extremely critical time arrangement to the wealthy people and local officials who were interested in investing in the area. After Ye Tao's explanation, it was finally determined that a month and a half later, the construction of the Yicheng Bell Tower would start, a year later. The approximate time when the construction of the Danyang Bell Tower began.

Didn't I build Issinger to make the twin towers of this era? Okay, I'll make Isenghe. Ye Tao was so ruthless, and he really made the general design of the Danyang Bell Tower on the basis of Tan Weixin's sketch, although after modification, the appearance of the Danyang Bell Tower is not as sharp and arrogant as that of Esinger in the "Lord of the Rings" movie, but it is inevitable that the edge will be exposed. The most attractive thing is that the Danyang Bell Tower has a viewing platform at a height of more than 260 feet. While drawing sketches, Ye Tao's mind was thinking of the shot of the gray-robed Gundorf jumping off the tower and being carried away by the vulture......

Just when the dust settled on the matter of the two bell towers. The two armies also officially moved to the west of Danyang City, and initially built the barracks at a speed that all the builders of this era were dumbfounded. The high-spec road starting from the west gate of Danyang will be divided into three forks in front of the barracks. Two satellite towns leading to Tiecheng and Danyang respectively. This barracks actually burdened the defense of Danyang. Duty to support two satellite towns in the vicinity.

And this huge barracks, which is actually completely capable of accommodating about 10,000 people, has been built with the ubiquitous competition of the Fierce Blood Army and the Fire Qi Army in mind. Whether it is a soldier's barracks, officers' quarters, canteens, training grounds, stables, armory, and any other facilities, there must be enough distance between them. Far enough away for two armies with different styles to conduct their daily affairs without being affected by the other, but close enough that both sides can definitely see each other's detailed actions and judge whether their side is doing well or badly.

In the middle of such a delicately arranged camp is a building that is used to perform war games on the actual map. The building refers to the design of the game building, but also takes into account the possibility of three or more parties participating in the deduction, there are five ** game rooms, an extremely large workshop for staff who process chess information, a public lecture hall and an expert research hall. Since the war game deduction carried out here inevitably takes place between professional and quasi-professional professionals. It is not necessary to think about the stage effect, but it is necessary to present the battle situation in the most visual way. The public lecture hall is designed as a rotunda with a large table for sand tables or maps in the middle, and terraced seats around it. When Ye Tao saw this lecture hall, what came to his mind was not the image of the conference hall and theater that he had expected, but felt that it was a bit like an oriental-style ancient Roman senate. In particular, the position setting of the host and the chief referee is clearly the consul and the protector...... But. asked Guan Haishan, the senior brother who was responsible for building the barracks, but found that there was no Tan Weixin's instruction behind this, but it was actually several senior citizens and young officers in the army who formed a general idea based on their understanding of the grand strategy of marching chess and the needs of the two armies' deduction, and then asked Guan Haishan to design and build.

This world ...... Sure enough, he's very talented. Ye Tao could almost imagine how Tan Weixin beat her chest with a smile when she knew such a design, and how she laughed so much that she let herself hover on the edge of life and death......

The two armies had already moved into the barracks, where the smell of paint had not completely dissipated. Of course. In this era, there is no problem of formaldehyde concentration, and all paints are pure natural materials, which do not affect health much. Daily training has also been carried out under the guidance of Dai Yun, Qiu Haohui, as well as many supervisors and adjutants, and under the leadership of the trainee officers.

Right now. The Fierce Blood Army and the Fire Qi Army practice a strategy of training and learning in parallel. Each morning is followed by a one-hour queue and physical training, followed by an hour of specialized subject training. In the afternoon, the midshipmen are in charge of the training, and the soldiers can be given ground leave to rest and training can also be organized. Organize internal competitions, organize sports and chess matches. Officers and midshipmen who are okay will have lectures every two days.

These lectures are carefully selected. Some of them invite veterans who are on active duty or retired from the army to explain the history of wars, and some of them invite officers and sergeants with expertise from all walks of life to explain various basic knowledge related to military affairs, marching organization, camp construction, and topographic surveying and mapping. Although military geography and military meteorology are not supported in detail in this era, there is already a preliminary division of labor and professional talents, especially those officers who are proficient in topographic surveying and mapping in the army, who are usually hidden for fear of accidents or assassination by the enemy. In addition to military expertise, there is also content related to chess battles. For example, basic mathematics and so on. Although the guys in Yizhan Lou don't have a deep understanding of mathematics, they only talk about the relevant parts of chess battles. Like Suo Zheng and others, they are still competent.

At first, everyone was a little unimpressed with this arrangement, which was somewhat similar to reading. However, after the lecture was held several times, not only the midshipmen who were asked to attend the lecture were bound to be present unless something serious happened, but also the officers and non-commissioned officers who were not required to attend the lecture also asked to be able to attend the lecture. Although these people have retired from the army, their thirst for military knowledge is no worse than that of the enthusiastic midshipmen, and their desire for victory and the desire for war is even stronger. When the lecture was held for the 10th and 11th time, the ratio of trainee officers and retired officers who participated in the lecture had reached 6 to 4, and there were even many non-local officers from the forbidden army, the city defense army, and the non-local officers who were temporarily stationed in Danyang in accordance with Dongping's principle of non-local defense to come and observe, so that the seats in the lecture became a kind of reward for commending the sergeants who performed well in the army...... And everyone's requirements for the content of the lecture are getting higher and higher.

"What about Ye Tao? Let him give a lecture! "I don't know which side of the group first came up with the idea, and then responded in droves. As the founder of the marching chess and the game of war buildings, as the actual manager of the two armies and the actual supreme commander of the Fierce Blood Army and the Fire Qi Army, Ye Tao had absolutely no reason to resign or retreat.

After two days of painstaking meditation and five days of careful preparation, Ye Tao finally stood on the podium. Facing the black and oppressive heads, Ye Tao was not timid, he smiled and said, "What I tell you is called group ......."
