Chapter 561: Unparalleled (Two)

The life of the Ye family is completely different from the rich and elegant food that others imagine. In terms of eating, there is no link that is not picky from the raw materials to the utensils and even the decoration, but it is rarely wasted. After living together for many years, everyone knows the food of the family and the taste is the same. How many people eat together always have suitable and ever-changing recipes, from breakfast, Chinese and dinner, and almost evening snacks in the afternoon, the principle of small amounts and multiple meals runs through the Ye family’s life, and there is also a healthy and balanced advanced life concept as a guide. There is a whole medical and dietary team to regulate everyone’s physical and mental health in various ways.

The same is true for clothing. The Ye family doesn’t like to wear fancy clothes. The most gorgeous clothes for everyone in the family must be the armor designed and supervised by Ye Tao. Even Tan Weixin and Tan Weishi who never go to the battlefield have them all the way to several children. This is just a tradition. But whether you are going out or moving at home, the clothes on the Ye family are always simple and simple. Materials such as thick woven cotton cloth are growing in large quantities on the original Wolf, and the price is getting cheaper. However, the Ye family almost likes cotton-material clothes. Silk materials are mostly used for underwear, which are smooth and clear after all. In summer, cotton-and-linen blended clothes with excellent breathability are the mainstream in the Ye family.

Needless to say, Yejiabao is almost a comfortable model around the world. The application of various new technologies has completely changed the appearance of life. As for architecture and gardening, no one will think about anything more now. Ye Tao has invested more effort in Yejiabao than he designed and built other buildings, and Yejiabao is naturally a beautiful building complex.

Okay... In this regard, the whole world may not be comparable to the Ye family. Think about it, they are the inventors, manufacturers and actual operators of the national airship passenger freight system. Even the boys of the Ye family have accumulated a flight range of tens of thousands of miles. Ye Manxuan and Ye Man even have customized airships designed by Ye Tao for them to learn airship driving skills.

Although there are almost no families that can be compared with the Ye family, in fact, apart from the two aspects of living and transportation, the life of the Ye family is far less luxurious than ordinary people imagine. There is no ordinary family that usually has the pomp and luxury that a family standing at the peak of the entire continent and even the world. They live quietly and enjoy various seemingly trivial surprises and happiness. For them, the more important enjoyment is spiritual. Their family's investment in culture, art and book publishing, theater construction and troupe training, calligraphy, painting and photography, etc. is much more than what they spend on food and clothing, such as superficial things.

This has also become a question that Dongping and the whole country are puzzled. What is their strange family pursuing?

Not everyone will doubt such a problem, at least Tan Xiaopei will not. When Ye Tao was quietly traveling in Yejiabao in Danyang, making various arrangements in Gondor, he was always looking for opportunities to show off with Ye Tao. Ye Tao could not leave yet, he had to play a more important role in the future empire construction of Dongping. But after unifying the world, he retired Ye Tao, which was what he promised at the beginning. Don’t talk about any questions such as emperor’s mind. If Ye Tao really wanted to retire, Tan Xiaopei really had no way to stop him. If he was unwilling to work, even if he had a high official title, it would be useless. Now he is the Northern Army Strategy Envoy, the Northern version of the entire empire

Picture, he said nothing. He would not have any official position in the Northern Xinjiang Administration. Instead, he divided the entire north into six states and set up a governor, and the governance system continued to follow the current framework of the Northern Xinjiang Administration. In fact, the entire empire would gradually turn to a healthier and more complete system. No matter who would become the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Administration in the future, if it were not recognized by Ye Tao, it would be difficult to move forward. Tan Xiaopei had a headache now. He raised Ye Tao to his current position too early and had no rewards anymore. What should he do? He could be awarded a title of prince in the future, but Ye Tao might not care about it...

But the movements that Ye Tao's family made shocked the whole world. They successively published a series of books, which were not in the technicians or in the business, but in some purely political and social things.

By summer, the first thing that was released in all bookstores in Danyang at the same time was "Social Contract". Three days later, "The Spirit of the Law" was released. Subsequently, the two books "The Wealth of the Kingdom" and "Leviathan" were put on the shelves one after another. Except for "The Wealth of the Kingdom", other subjects were works from the Enlightenment. Now the people of Dongping live happily and rich, and things like "The Warning Bell" and "Look Back" were not taken out. They were too inflammatory and had little effect and could easily make people misunderstand that they were about to rebel.

.These classic works from the Enlightenment period are completely combined with the reality of the time and space that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin came to, and have been completely rewritten. The time and energy they bet on it are unimaginable. Naturally, they are definitely not something that has been rushed out in recent times. Although things like "As for the Criticism of Pure Reason", although it is also very meaningful, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin have never figured out what they said in both lives. It would be wrong to just use it to fool people.

At the beginning, everyone thought that like the previous books, they were all technical books. When some court officials and students who were always interested in Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, the two geniuses, finally finished reading these books, slowly thinking that the taste was wrong and gradually came back to their senses, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin had already run back to Yejiabao to hide from the quietness. How many people can these things attract and what reactions will they cause? They are somewhat expected. When the reunification of Dongping is about to be imminent, the suddenly thrown out the monarchy power is not a divine empowerment. The country is not a divine empowerment but a social contract created by people. The monarchy power is not a divine empowerment, but a divine empowerment is not a divine empowerment, but a view of such a gift from the people is really shocking... Some conservative ministers and students were frightened to death when they saw these things, and some bad speculations began to flow in some people's hearts: What is the Ye Tao family going to do?

Dai Yun returned to Yejiabao. The veteran general Yu Fuzhong, who was temporarily in charge of the First War Zone, directly stopped all contact with the Chunnan army and began to gather the troops... Yu Fuzhong was originally the general of the Dai family. Although he was already a general who was the only one with a high status, his mind was not that complicated. He could only be loyal to the Dai family. Although he didn't know what Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, and Dai Yun were trying to do, it would not prevent him from preparing for everything.

And the accepting officials who are controlling the Xiling border are also in chaos. Although the rumors are not reliable, they cannot go to Ye Tao to ask him if he is planning to rebel. Lei Huangdu stayed in the headquarters and took charge, but Sun Boping smiled bitterly and wrote a letter to Ye Tao while dealing with complicated government affairs...

Neither the books nor the news will arrive in Yazhou soon, or cross the entire battlefield to the south of Chunnan. However, no matter whether it is Qi Zhentao or anyone else in Yazhou, if something really happens, even if he is hesitating, he may be on Ye Tao's side. Yazhou, which has been constantly dealing with the Bay Area and with more Western countries, has a much more active and radical thinking than on the mainland.

This is true in these areas, and it is even more so on the lands under the rule of the Northern Xinjiang Jingliufu. The Jingliufu did not issue any orders at all, but the atmosphere of the Farms and Ranch in the entire Yunzhou, Benlangyuan, and Zhenzhou and other areas was quietly changing. Even Tianmeng City, far away in the northeast, began to discuss what Ye Tao was going to do, and when some people were rashly speculating, some tribal leaders had already made the decision.

Want to rebel? Ye Taojue had no intention. Not only did the Yejiabao clearly understand, but the top ministers also understood. Some of these mobilizations and preparations were not clear and followed the crowd, while others were preparing to deal with it in case of uncontrollable situations, and so on. Lei Huang thought so, Tan Weiran thought so. Other troops just quietly raised their vigilance, but the Frost Wolf Blade Wing Army, which he was directly under his command, went directly to the vigilance...

"When will Ye Tao say hello before doing things?" Tan Xiaopei had a headache. After rubbing his head, he said helplessly to Tan Weiming and Tan Weiran and the others.

Since the palace was being renovated, they needed to stay in Danyang to coordinate various complicated things, now they had to temporarily live in Banyan Tree, a luxury garden-style hotel that had just been completed and not opened. This is also Ye Tao's industry. Strictly speaking, it is the property he and the Chi family and Fan family are working together. Banyan Tree has undoubtedly reached the peak of time and space comfort, and some details are more so than Ye Tao's own family. Tan Xiaopei and his group of people moved into the city after they moved into Banyan Tree, let alone those business travelers and wealthy families. Their families have joined forces with Jiuzhou Trading Company, Qihai Chamber of Commerce and a series of other interbank cooperation groups to establish a standard hotel and hotel rating system. Currently, there are only a few Banyan Tree in the entire Dongping, which can be ranked among the five-star ranks. Banyan Tree has not opened, and there are actually only three that have officially opened to welcome guests...

Living in an elegant and quiet garden hotel, Tan Xiaopei felt that his body and mind were completely refreshed and extremely comfortable. In fact, Tan Xiaopei has been quite happy recently. The cause of unification has come to the end. While steadily compressing the last living space in Chunnan, the governance work in various places is underway. The people in Chunnan are not very resistant to Dongping's entry. On the contrary, the ones that are extremely resistant are those students and scholars. Although Dongping, which established his country with martial arts, has now flourished in culture, it has not provided anyone with a chance to reach the top in the imperial examination career.

The civil and military courses of the Dongping imperial examinations are not directly awarded official positions no matter what achievements they have achieved, but are given extremely generous material rewards and some opportunities for further study. Some are to enter the Imperial College and Military Academy, while others go to local or various yamen to "internships". If you do have practical work skills, instead of just the hand-in-hand at the pen, you can become an official and enter the imperial court's establishment. Speaking of the establishment, it is also one of the stricter governance plans that Dongping has gradually implemented in recent years. There are clear regulations on how many people, how much budget, what authority, etc., for a person in a position, if there is a need to add departments, or temporarily select personnel from various departments to deal with things, there is also a system of declaration and reporting. The number of officials in the imperial court is tightly framed, avoiding the problem of unlimited expansion of the number of officials.

In fact, the various things that the court has to deal with are becoming more and more complex and professional. While reviewing the staffing, the court is still repeatedly reviewing the settings and number of people of various departments. This serious and important government structure obviously makes Chunnan people, who were used to being a romantic and elegant official, and are very uncomfortable and difficult to accept. But these are not a problem for Tan Xiaopei. After reporting on various similar issues in various places, he decisively ordered the states to organize open and transparent, based on reality.

If the government officials examination system for international affairs is unable to supplement the local staff, the governance agency will never change the standards and will draw personnel from other places. In addition, if an official has spare no effort to handle his or her duties, he or she can apply for positions that are not related to his or her duties, and his or her term of office shall not exceed three months. Within these three months, except for the original salary of the two positions, half of the average salary of the two positions will be issued to commend him or her hardworking. The performance standards of officials will remain unchanged, but they can hold both positions and be able to do the same at the same time.

Those who get excellent performance will be paid at four times the rewards and salary at the end of the year. From a very early stage, strictly speaking, it was from the beginning of Tan Weixin that greatly improved Dongping's fiscal revenue, and implemented a system of high salary and integrity, but the strictness of performance evaluation of officials is rare in the world. With the implementation of this temporary part-time system, those capable people who can get excellent performance in both fixed and temporary positions can easily get three to five times the salary... For a county magistrate or an official of similar level, it is almost the same.

It's more than 1,200 taels of silver a year... To be honest, do you still need to be greedy if you can get so much money? Of course, people's desires are endless, but the administration of Dongping is always cracking down on it. Corruption of 100 taels means dismissal and never hired. Five hundred taels is ten years, and one thousand taels will lose their heads... The opportunity cost of embezzlement and bribery is really amazing. Working hard and hard to get double excellent results is not only the performance and bonus, but also means that a golden payment in the resume means that the future career will be smoother.

Although Tan Xiaopei's series of methods withdrawn were not directly targeted at anyone in Chunnan, but a temporary order for administrative and personnel handling that generally adapted to the entire jurisdiction of Dongping, the response in Chunnan was extremely huge. Dongping never rejected talented people, but don't expect that as Chunnan in the past, you can be arrogant and prosperous. Tan Xiaopei's actions also severely hit the conservative forces in various parts of Chunnan: Since you don't cooperate, don't think that we will not be able to play if we leave. Then, a series of people had been implemented in the territory of the Dongping Plain for many years.

The management strategies that have been proven to be effective have begun to be implemented. In the past, considering the feelings of Chunnan, there was still a three-year buffer adaptation period. Now, since you don’t want to cooperate, we are not so considerate. As for local forces want to violate these regulations? Sorry, now they are still engaged in military law during the war. When a group of people were clamoring to jump out to make trouble, the Tianxuan army of Qiu Haohui’s troops took the lead in strictly implementing local control orders. Ten thousand infantry advance in parallel, directly crushing the six local tyrants who claimed to have built self-protection, and all property was confiscated.

The news reached Danyang, and some ministers who were worried about having a negative impact on local governance advocated the punishment of Qiu Haohui. Of course, partly because Qiu Haohui was born into a business but joined the ranks of senior officers, it also caused some people to have red eyes. They could not see other people's birth and death for more than ten years to temper themselves, and only stared at the position that made people envious. However, Tan Xiaopei and Ye Tao had a very tacit understanding in this matter. Tan Xiaopei raised Qiu Haohui's title again and directly suggested that Zhuo Mang take a closer examination.

Considering Qiu Haohui's military achievements and performance this year, Qiu Haohui probably had to leave Tianxuan's army after the war ended, but that was because his military rank was too high and was not suitable to command an army of only a single military. Instead, he would be transferred to the Central Counselor's military aircraft, becoming an important official of the future Dongping Dynasty, and becoming a famous general is a foregone conclusion. Compared with Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao's support and threats were more straightforward. The Yicheng branch of Ye's Workshop specially customized a batch of guillotines, guillotines, torture tools and other supplies, and sent them directly to Tianxuan's army.

This is what has troubled Tan Xiaopei the most recently. In addition, he lived a very comfortable life. Partly because of the atmosphere of Banyan Tree, which is peaceful and quiet, and is completely different from the ubiquitous feeling of being serious in the palace. However, Ye Tao’s recent practices have really made him feel too troubled. Ye Tao was not completely silent. He sent letters to every governor and the army’s leaders, just saying that the publication of the books was just an academic discussion and nothing else. He didn’t defend anything and continued to live in Yejiabao. How could Ye Tao rebel? He has not even worked hard to cultivate his confidants for so many years. The only one he can call him was Feng Zi. That guy only listened to Ye Tao’s orders, and nothing else was useless. But Feng Zi was Qu Yan’s son, Feng Xingnan

The grandson...one is the head of the former Censorate, and the other is the old doctor who is deeply trusted by the Tan family. Ye Tao has no direct force. The sect demon group of the Leiyin Demon Sect is probably the case, and the personal guard camp can only be counted, but he has no intentional appeal to these generals in the army. At most, he is approachable. Apart from his old friend Guan Huan, he met when he was a teenager, he has no direct masters. A small part of the people in charge of the safety of the Ye family have a resume as an imperial guard in Danyang. Liu Yong is the former general manager of the guards, and Jinze has always followed Tan Weixin to be responsible for the safety of the Princess' Mansion... The Dai family was worried about Ye Tao's safety, so they threw a few sacrifices over, but these people are now in harmony with the guards... Is there such a rebel? Isn't that a joke?

"Father, do you think it's possible... Ye Tao knows what we plan?" Tan Weiming carefully pondered Ye Tao's recent updates and whispered.

"You mean?" Tan Xiaopei's heart trembled: "What's going on in Wen Xuan?"

"Yes... Ye Tao is definitely not willing to be plotted by us like this..." Tan Weiming frowned and said, "It is very likely that he wanted to do something, which would make people have all kinds of doubts, and then... we naturally have to reconsider this matter. He and his sister are indifferent to the issue of power, and of course there is no shortage of power now. When the dust settles, if they still need them, they will have enough fun, so naturally they are willing to come out and do things seriously again. Otherwise, there is no way to explain this matter. Moreover, the news spread too quickly. If only a few ministers and students who saw the problem were connected privately there, it would be impossible for the whole country to know it in such a short time. Ye Tao must have played tricks in it."

"Oh... I'm probably really unparalleled in order to make my son not become the emperor." Tan Xiaopei agreed with this statement after thinking about it: "Is this person so hot?"

"That...haha." The atmosphere of the Tan family is also very different from the imperial family in the impression of others. The relationship between brothers and sons is far greater than the division between the king and the ministers. Tan Weiming said self-deprecatingly: "I am afraid of death now. This person is really not that easy to sit in. However, father, the books produced by Ye Tao and his sister are really reasonable... They are all so similar to each other."

"Self-defiling?" Tan Xiaopei sneered and said, "No... They want to take the opportunity to be true, and the ones mentioned in their books are also. They think so, and whether we agree or not, or whether the whole world supports or recognizes, does not need to be considered. The reason why geniuses are geniuses must have such persistence and such crazy nature. But what they are right! The king's power is granted, and they are fartful! It's not created by those corrupt scholars? Being ordered by heaven and seeing the gods and gods, this world is defeated by me, and I care about the whole world."

Speaking of excitement, there was no one else in the imperial study room, and Tan Xiaopei's incisive swear words came. Recently, he has been in the army, and his noble general's true nature has gradually returned to him. However, now the father and son are all of this kind of virtue. This situation makes others criticize him, but they themselves feel very happy.

"That's right, our Dongping established a country through war. Although unification is imminent, we cannot always play the trick of military and political unity. It is imperative to attach importance to civil governance, but we cannot let those outdated statements be noisy." Tan Weiran said lightly, but extremely firmly.

"Hey, brother, you have a lot of people in Yunzhou, right?" Tan Weiming suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?" Tan Weiran replied carefully.

"Is there anyone in Yejiabao?"

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Tan Weiran felt that he must have a headache.

"Look at what they are doing. Ye Tao and his sister are not coming to Danyang. We can't get enough time now, but we have to understand what they are doing now, right?" Tan Weiming instigated: "You scout in the world, are you wrong to find out the news to you?"

"This is the matter of the Intelligence Bureau, not the scout's business?" Tan Weiran immediately said aggrieved.

"Just tell me, can you do it?" Tan Weiming laughed, obviously thinking that he had a good idea.

"Okay OK, let me leave this matter." Tan Weiran finally let go and shook his head and said.

"You really have people lurking in Yejiabao?" Tan Xiaopei's face was not very good-looking.

Tan Weiran quickly explained: "Of course not... there are many soldiers from the Frost Wolf Army and the Blade Army in the guard camp. In addition, because all military operations always start to organize reconnaissance and spy, there is my liaison officer in the staff team next to Ye Tao. Inquiring about information should not be a big deal. Just give them a command and pay more attention."

And far away in Yejiabao, a small family meeting is also underway.

"Father, I'll go to the north to play. Is it useful for ten or eight years? Or... I'll go to the Bay Area with the fleet? How many years will I go to the Frank Kingdom?" Ye Wenxuan was a little frightened. Just now, he had just finished listening to Ye Tao's treasured for a while. One time, Tan Xiaopei had a conversation with Tan Weiming, Tan Weiran, and several core officials in the Imperial Study Room about the inheritance of the throne. In such a conversation, he was the central topic. This made Ye Wenxuan no longer nervous.

The Ye family's education is very strange no matter how you calculate it. You attach importance to ability and character, long-term learning ability, and comprehensive development of your mind and body, but it is extremely laissez-faire in terms of interests and intentions of everyone. It goes without saying that Ip Manji may be the best candidate to lead the research and development and production of the Ye Family Workshop in the future. He has already had quite powerful skills at a young age. As the eldest son of the Ye family, as a very leader among the young people, what do I want to do? Ip Manxuan's dream has always been to be able to travel around the world and see what others have never seen. Now he has traveled through many places, and he has been to the famous mountains and rivers within the border of Dongping. His next plan is Yazhou... Although it will be at least ten or twenty years later to be an emperor, he always feels a little scared when he thinks that he can't travel around the world from now on.

Ye’s children were not prohibited from entering and leaving study rooms, conference rooms and other places since childhood. Ye Wenxuan knew very well how pressure was behind the position of the Northern Xinjiang Administrator who others thought was of high power. Ye Tao was not diligent, let alone taking power, but even so, a large amount of paperwork still kept Ye Tao in an extremely nervous state in recent years. The telegram was created by Ye Tao, but this definitely greatly increased his workload. Many things that required officials from all over the country to judge and decide on themselves are often reported to him and ask for instructions... Ye Tao rarely took anything to Tan Xiaopei, which is also one of the evidence that many ministers think that Ye Tao was taking power. Only those in it can truly understand the huge pressure to manage all aspects of a region and a country.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The Ye family has always believed in this. It is precisely because of this that Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun, Sophie, and Dai Qiuyan are all busy in all walks of life. Even Tan Weishi is really hard to handle housework. But what kind of path should the children of the Ye family take?

"I have a memorial here, which is about limiting the power of the emperor. Let's take a look. In fact, I will hand over this thing no matter what, it is conceivable that this thing will cause a sensation. I don't think you need to worry too much about things decades later. At that time, maybe your ideas will be different. If you think it is still possible in the future, you can also try to watch the emperor and see if it is fun, then I will put it down first and wait for you... How to say... The identity of the crown prince is confirmed before handing over. If you don't want to, and firmly believe that you will never want to be the emperor, then I will hand over this thing now. Feng Zi is in Danyang now, holding the original copy of this thing in his hand." Ye Tao said to Ye Wenxuan. "Think about it carefully. Once this thing arrives in front of the imperial court, it will cause some storm, but it is something that everyone can't imagine. In fact, I'm really looking forward to it."

Ye Tao did not think it would be a big deal to throw such a big problem to Ye Wenxuan himself. He turned around and went to Tan Weixin's room.

Since Tan Weixin became pregnant, she has naturally received close attention from all parties. The imperial physician had to undergo routine diagnosis and treatment every morning, noon and evening, and diet, supplements, almost every detail, and every detail were placed under a magnifying glass, and she was repeatedly criticized. Tan Weixin's health is still very good now, but she has been plagued by illness for many years, and when she was giving birth, she knew what would go wrong. No one wanted something, and no one wanted to be fully prepared in advance. Ye Tao was the same. And his most important job was to keep Tan Weixin in a happy mood.

"You just threw the matter to Wen Xuan to deal with it yourself?" Tan Weixin was a little amused by the trust of Ye Tao, even laissez-faire.

"What else can I do? In the final analysis, this is his business." Ye Tao said with a smile.

"At a young age... you have to bear such pressure, you have to bear it." Tan Weixin said angrily.

"I'm really not sure what the future of the children will be like without our systematic knowledge. I'm really good at speaking. I'm very familiar with basic craftsmanship, but how can I tell him the incredible things? Is there any way? Wen Xuan is talented in leadership skills. Those children and even the adults around him are willing to believe him. Wei Ming and Weiran and His Majesty make such a choice, which is indeed the best in terms of reason. Since children should ultimately base themselves on this era, I hope they can have such awareness and responsibility." Ye Tao said with a smile.

"Well, that's all. Our story is so incredible. Anyway, those goals at the time, at least for now, are really doing well. There are airships, planes, trains, cars... and those big iron lumps in the workshop should be almost on the road now, right?" Tan Weixin said in a fascination: "There is coffee, Coke... It seems that there is no Meinenda yet, but Burger King seems to have learned a lot."

"Yes... I think about it, I had nothing back then, it only took decades to do it." Ye Tao was very proud.

"What about our child?" Tan Weixin smiled and pointed at her belly.

"Do your best in education... When we come here, we are destined to be lonely. The children finally can't see those bizarre things in our era."

Holding Tan Weixin, Ye Tao carefully pressed his face against her belly, listening to the deepest traces left by two people who did not belong to this time and space in this world: the gentle but powerful heartbeat.
Chapter completed!
