Chapter 516 Consolidation

"Jingluo Ye, if someone knows that these things are all from your instruction, I am afraid that the memorial of the court to impeach you will have to double it." Nie Rui said.

Nie Rui came to Zhongjun Town two days ago. As the head of the Intelligence Bureau, he had talked with Ye Tao about various intelligence exploration matters countless times, as well as developing tools for intelligence personnel, etc. The establishment of the Intelligence Bureau was the suggestion of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. Now, Nie Rui has long grown into a half-baked Ye Tao, a intelligence leader who is much more professional. Everyone in the court respects him very much, but no matter what, his gratitude to Ye Tao and Tan Weixin has always been

There has not changed. From an officer in charge of documents and military information, who is only in charge of the right rank, to now the most important and most popular official in the court, the difference is too big. What fascinates him even more is that the field of intelligence is so charming. Although as the highest official in charge of intelligence work in a country, he must not be able to perform field missions, but being able to understand all kinds of incredible things, this feeling of insight into everything is really fascinating.

After the airship series finally came to an end, Nie Rui was able to withdraw and communicate with Ye Tao how to arrange the intelligence work for Bei Liao. And if there are any opportunities for other countries to grasp and arrange several more important intelligence work. Especially the most important intelligence sources, their communication is always from your mouth and directly into my ears without going through anyone. They can each deploy according to the content they know, and will not tell their subordinates. Whether it is Kong Xinhua, Sun Boping, or the Song family, their caution in this regard is not unreasonable.

"I don't care about this kind of thing anymore," Ye Tao replied calmly. "Now, how is your progress? Are there many fun things?"

Ye Tao refers to Kong Xinhua's line. Now Ye Tao handed over Kong Xinhua's line to Nie Rui to manage. After all, there is too long distance between Zhongjun Town and Yanjing, and the contact between the two sides has to be detoured. The efficiency is really not high, but now Bei Liao may have important decisions and changes anytime and anywhere.

Nie Rui smiled and said, "A guy who can often meet the Lord of Northern Liao will certainly give us a lot of good information. But... Ye Zhengluo, it is really dangerous for you to hand over the airship to Northern Liao. Not to mention anything else, our own good men are likely to be directly threatened by local airships."

"This is indeed a problem. At first I hesitated about it, but in the end, I decided to reveal the airship technology a little bit. On the one hand, Chunnan is already doing this kind of thing, and they are still half-hearted, so they start to use airship technology to make trouble with us. Jiang Yan is indeed a very smart person. Even if others know that they did this trick, they will still be fooled, even if it is Xiling, the World of Fear. In addition, it is done by the Workshop Research Institute.

After some research, the chief technician of the Airship Workshop concluded that with the technical standards of Xiling, Chunnan and Beiliao, the cost of mass-producing things that reach the level of our second-generation airship is seven times, four times and twelve times that of the same airship we produce. This move is almost unsolvable for Beiliao. I can tell you... In Ye's workshop, the most basic model of airships now costs only 800 silver dollars to produce one. By next year, the end of the

I am considering whether to suggest to Your Majesty that airships can be sold to ordinary people. Although there are a lot of relevant regulations to be formulated, it can also allow airships to enter the homes of ordinary people. For the country, such a large industry and such a huge profit, we may all think of it? But you also asked Kong Xinhua that the most basic experimental airships in the production of Bei Liao cannot enter the mass production stage, and the cost is already nearly 10,000 taels of silver. No matter how many of them are,

I will not be afraid of the Northern Liao Dynasty in terms of quantity and combat effectiveness. Moreover, we already have the powerful weapon to fight airships. Just imagine, when Northern Liao is ready to fight airships with us, it will be wiped out in one fell swoop. What will happen to the morale of the people? I am indeed looking forward to a big victory, and I don’t have that much interest in small-scale erosion with better actual results. Great victory may cost a relatively large price in a battle, but it also gives me the opportunity to force the Northern Liao Dynasty to surrender."

"If there is such an opportunity... it is indeed worth taking risks. But the variables here are too great... Let's talk about it here, but there is no way to explain it to the court." Nie Rui sighed. He knew that Ye Tao was annoyed by the guys who impeached him, and also knew that long-term burying his head and not saying anything will always have an impact on Ye Tao's own reputation. For those who work for Ye Tao, this kind of thing is also quite troubled. Nie Rui understood that Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun were low-key, and knew that a high position and power would inevitably attract covetousness and dissatisfaction, especially because they dominate one side, and the power they hold is almost no less than Tan Xiaopei, and such power may continue to expand for a period of time. If they really want to retreat and enjoy the beautiful life they created themselves, they may really have to wait for the world to be unified.

"No need to explain," Ye Tao said with a smile: "The court should make a decision as soon as possible. When the war in Bei Liao ends, how to deal with the regional division and who should be in charge. No matter what, you can't get under the Northern Xinjiang Administration, right? The territory I'm in charge is too large... If I stuff Northern Liao in, I will definitely give up."

Nie Rui smiled. It was not that Tan Xiaopei had not considered this issue, and had talked to him about it several times. The general policy was already there, but Tan Xiaopei had never made up his mind. Nie Rui said: "Now, Your Majesty is willing to sing Chi first... But I'm afraid this is not something that the court can easily contend with. Anyway, I won't interfere with this matter."

Nie Rui said it easily, but how could he not participate? Your Majesty is interested in Chi Xianping. On the one hand, he has enough influence, and he also has two good sons, Chi Yun and Chi Lei. He must be inseparable from the army by managing Northern Liao, and he must be able to control the Northern Liao side, suppress the strong folk customs, and have enough courage to deal with various rebellious armies. Chi Yun is a senior general of the Imperial Army. He has been preparing for the battle between Xiling and Chunnan over the years. Although his military achievements are not much, his rank is still raised, just to suppress other officers in the future. This will definitely not move.

But Chi Lei is different. Most of the people who Tan Xiaopei fought with Tan Weiran and Chi Lei to Chi Xianping for use. With Tan Weiran's support, Chi Xianping's authority is guaranteed, and others dare not speak out. Chi Lei and Tan Weiran's partner have already won a huge reputation in Beiliao, and this power is probably enough. But, the Frost Wolf Silver Wing Army, Tan Weiran and Chi Lei are willing to let it go? Chi Lei is the world's number one scout. Although it is not good at managing local affairs, it is definitely not what he is willing to do. Moreover, most people will attack the father and son's partner in Beiliao affairs...

Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "Chi Lei should leave it to me. I will give the veteran General Yu Fuzhong a helper to the Grand Marshal. After all, the veteran General Yu is old. After the war with Xiling ended a while ago, he muttered there, saying that he could not fight the war, but he was reluctant to leave his armor and return to the field... General Yu brought out all the garrison camps in the northern border, and he was very skilled in this regard. What do you think?"

Nie Rui laughed and said, "That's a request. I'll go back to tell His Majesty about this matter, or do you just send me a telegram?"

Ye Tao shrugged and said, "I have no objection, but if I directly recommend General Yu, I'm afraid... someone else would be unhappy."

Nie Rui was also a little helpless, and then he said, "Your Majesty has something to tell me. He asked me to borrow some money from you, so he simply completed the renovation of Zhongjun Town. Your Majesty said that from Gondor to Yanjing, there must be a place to turn around. Zhongjun Town... seems pretty good. However, now Your Majesty has no money, so you have to pay for this money first."

"Ah?" Ye Tao was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty also thought of it. Your Majesty doesn't have to be so aggrieved... It's clear that Your Majesty doesn't plan to pay back the money. Well, taking advantage of the fact that this is still my territory, I'll pay this money. Zhongjun Town will definitely be a major town in the future. Everyone has seen this, and now it's already started to fight."

Nie Rui said oh. He originally thought it was some reinforcement and repair projects, which made Zhongjun Town look a bit like a large construction site. After all, Zhongjun Town is now a place where heavy troops are stationed and constantly strengthening defense is the point of question. But unexpectedly, Ye Tao has begun to consider the functions of Zhongjun Town from another aspect.

With Ye Tao's explanation, Nie Rui knew what changes were happening in Zhongjun Town. Ye Tao did not pay much attention to the city walls and the like. Zhongjun Town might have been about to rush, but in the future, it was just an important hub in the north of the entire Dongping Empire. It didn't have to be a military town. The possibility of being hit by the large army was very small. As for the future, what happened in a longer period of time, Ye Tao felt that he didn't need to think too much. On the one hand, Ye Tao used the sufficient troops and manpower to repair the roads around Zhongjun Town. The offices of the Communication Bureau and other institutions were very spacious, and the branches of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Commerce Bureau were also in place. These officials will be handed over to the Chief Executive of the Bei Liao side in the future. Whether Chi Xianping was responsible for this matter or not, at least lay the foundation for a brand new Bei Liao first. The Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau is now in the starting department.

After a bumper harvest of low taxes, the area that has been occupied can be said to have been completely consolidated. Originally, the Commerce and Trade Bureau was still worried about whether it could attract merchants here, but unexpectedly, Ye Tao's garrison was a protracted period. The various needs of the officers alone could drive a large market, and merchants flocked to it. After coming here, when he actually saw Ye Tao's efforts to make the future prosperity, he naturally became more confident in the future. Although such "investment" costs a little bit of military spending, the effect is indeed excellent. With enough population, enough goods and personnel flow, the status of Zhongjun Town will continue to be consolidated. Moreover, in order to show his importance and love for Zhongjun Town, Ye Tao even took a break from his busy schedule and contributed his own design to Zhongjun Town...
