Chapter 25 The Messenger
The messenger from Tan Weixin, who Ye Tao had met was the guard who was addicted to marching chess, Lu Dan.
Lu Dan brought a letter from the princess, and also brought a messenger to communicate with the two places in the future. The golden eagle who was carefully tamed and selected from thousands of miles away.
“Ye Tao:
When we parted that day, it was more than three months. It was not Governor Peng who reported every three days. I didn’t know that you were addicted to pendulum clocks like this.”
The letter begins like this. From Yicheng to Danyang, the 400-mile fast horse will take 3 to 4 days. Those who arrive in the capital will definitely not be called news. Ye Tao may be able to understand Tan Weixin's anxious waiting, because he himself is eager to meet Tan Weixin again in the near future. When they all think that they are living alone in this era, they hide their own secrets in their hearts and eat all the stories, grievances and happiness by themselves. However, when they know each other's existence and when confide becomes a possibility, this feeling is easy to seize a person's thoughts.
Tan Weixin, who is already used to classical Chinese, did not deliberately use more modern grammar and writing to describe what she has experienced these days, but between the lines, she still looks faint, but always peaceful and joyful.
His music box was so popular in the capital. He appeared in the study room once. After appearing at a banquet, there were more and more legends about the music box hidden by the princess. The magical craftsmanship? Perhaps Ye Tao deserves this description. But when a thing becomes deified and full of mysterious colors, it is a bit... interesting. Perhaps even more interesting is the woodcut "Ten Miles of Smoke Waves" that was taken to the capital by Guan Huan, and now collected by Situ Huang Xuping. When he learned that the person who made this woodcut was actually a 14-year-old boy, and this boy is about to develop industries in the capital, Huang Xuping was even more excited than Tan Weixin.
"The location of the Yi Zhan Tower has been decided. My subordinate deacon Tian has met Ling Yue. When will the foundation be laid? But you can decide with your words. The shadow of the tall buildings and buildings you imitate is amazing. However, a flying beam can make this dome, only you can make it."
Tan Weixin spent a lot of effort to select the location of the Yi Zhanlou Jingcheng flagship store, and finally decided on the Yongding River that crossed the capital Danyang. This place is only a few steps away from the bustling commercial street, and is even located in the middle of the Daxing in the city of the Ministry of War, the Taixue, and the Imperial Army in the middle of the camp in the city. No matter from any aspect, it is considered excellent. Since the land itself is the capital for Tan Weixin to invest in Yi Zhanlou, and the proportion of shares they agreed on will not change due to the value of the land, Tan Weixin did not mention how much money the land spent, but from the time she later complained about the demolition and resettlement, it should not be cheap either.
Fengyu Shengjian also took root and sprouted in Beijing. It already has 4 stores. As expected, the business is also quite good. But what is more depressing is that it seems that the Shengjian incident inspired the inspiration. Tan Weixin seemed to want to become a super tycoon of a catering chain enterprise. She actually opened a second chain store "Aisan Ramen" in Beijing. From the recipes to the style of the store decorating the clerk's clothing, they are very similar to the "Aisan Ramen" in Ye Tao's impression. Carrying out the piracy to the end? Perhaps this is all I can say. But Tan Weixin's tone was clearly a bit dissatisfied.
"What I wish is deep is spread throughout Danyang, Cangping, Hanning, Cheng'an, and Yuhang under the name of a shop, and is named 'Wujingtang'. Although the world is not in my hands, it can be called a feat."
Wu Jingtang? If even this chain store is opened, she will really become a chain catering tycoon in the future. Tan Weixin's wonderful ideas really made Ye Tao amazed. However, Tan Weixin was not satisfied with the expansion of her career. After smoothing out the problems on the books she deliberately left, she had to concentrate on tilting her funds, manpower and material resources to the garden that was being built for the upcoming Princess Bailian. After all, this is a major event that concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries and cannot be ignored. The garden designer from Chunnan Kingdom and
Some of the craftsmen have already come to Danyang, the capital of Dongping, and the site of Jinguyuan, and are pointing fingers at several garden craftsmen with deep qualifications in Dongping. In Tan Weixin's opinion, if Ye Tao can come to Danyang once and suppress the majestic and arrogant guys, it would be great. However, if things are busy, there is no need to force it. In the history of Dongping, he is very good at building cities, fortresses, passes, camps, and those magnificent and practical buildings. There are indeed some shortcomings in creating small and meticulous gardens.
In the letter, Tan Weixin wrote down another expectation of her, hoping that Ye Tao could prepare carefully. When the Lord of Dongping and Princess Bailian got married, a large number of craftsmen and literati from Chunnan Kingdom came to show off their power, show off the so-called prosperous culture and prosperous moral and cultural governance of Chunnan Kingdom, and even promote their outstanding craftsmanship on those exquisite vessels to effectively suppress the arrogance of Chunnan Kingdom. Managing the progress of the Jingu Garden project and giving appropriate funds in installments is now one of Tan Weixin's responsibilities. He must deal with the craftsmen, garden builders and officials who came to Dongping in advance. From the lines, it is not difficult to see that dealing with these people does not seem to be a pleasant experience.
Ye Tao picked up his pen and wanted to write a reply letter, but hesitated for a while, but he put down his pen again. He didn't expect to be able to show his poetry and articles in this time and space, so he had never put any effort into poetry and calligraphy. However, he could still write a letter, even if he used classical Chinese, lyrics could still be achieved. But he couldn't think of what he wanted to talk about so many things he had to communicate with Tan Weixin.
"Master Lu," Ye Tao never dared to neglect the guards around the princess. Although these people are careless and inconspicuous, many of them have a high rank. This Lu Dan, who is counted as an official at his guard level, is also a sixth rank. A voice "Master" is called unpretentious to ordinary people like Ye Tao. "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"
Lu Dan was shocked. How popular Ye Tao is in princesses? The guards who were selected to accompany him for thousands of miles and lived in Yicheng for almost a month could not know. When Ye Tao called him "Old Master", Lu Dan felt a little uncomfortable. Ye Tao had been with them before, and everyone called him "Brother Ye".
"Brother Ye," Lu Dan replied with a smile, "Don't just say I'm calling you Master. If I want this job, I'm not here to show my identity, but to ask you for advice. When the princess returned, she told us about the 'great strategy' gameplay of the marching chess you were working on, which made all our brothers a little unbearable. This time, I asked for this job. I'll call you Brother Ye, and you'll call me my name. Everyone, please be happy, don't talk so much." After pondering for a moment, Lu Dan said, "Your Highness the Princess has no other instructions except asking me to bring the letter and this eagle. I have a picture of the carriage used to raise and pass letters between marches, and the princess has no other instructions. However, Brother Ye, Your Highness often mentions you that if you go to the capital earlier, Your Highness will definitely be very happy."
Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "Let me prepare a gift for the princess in a few days. I'll go there. But the business is busy, so I may not stay in the capital for long this time. I'm sorry, Brother Lao Lu, you have to work hard again after a few days of rest."
When Lu Dan heard this, he didn't care and said happily: "It's okay. We don't have to worry about rushing back and forth, don't have to do anything, just be afraid of staying in the whole day and people will rust."
Ye Tao took out a thick cardboard and a silver note from his desk and handed it to Lu Dan, saying, "Brother Lu, I know you like to play chess. This is the VIP membership card of Yi Zhan Tower. Holding this, there will naturally be a friend in Yi Zhan Tower to arrange the game for you. If you want to go upstairs to see the rules of the Grand Strategy gameplay, even if you tell the store manager, the test board of the Grand Strategy gameplay is still the sand table map of Yicheng and the surrounding area, which is somewhat involved in military aircraft, but you can enter and exit freely with the imperial guard waist card."
