Chapter 154 Cohesion

Qinzheng Hall is rarely used. According to Ye Tao, Qinzheng Hall has a problem with its functional positioning. It does not have a wide space like the Consort Hall to accommodate many people in daily court meetings, nor is it the kind of imperial study that the king uses to work on his own and occasionally summon individual ministers. The famous scholars need to formally minimize the sense of alienation between each other. Now, the function of Qinzheng Hall is roughly the "Yunzhou Special Project Team of the Dongping National Government". The Yunzhou sand table in the Blood Qi Army camp was moved to Qinzheng Hall, occupying about half of the area of ​​Qinzheng Hall. A large number of documents about Yunzhou, as well as the various basic documents of Yunzhou handed over to Dongping by the Dai family, were also placed in Qinzheng Hall. A whole row of file cabinets produced by IKEA Home Furnishings belonging to the Ye Family Workshop was filled with walls. In the remaining space, there was a long table, surrounding the long table, which was also a chair with leather backrests and cushions produced by IKEA Home Furnishings.

When Ye Tao entered Qinzheng Hall, he couldn't help but laugh at the fact that IKEA's penetration in the furniture field is so meticulous, but he didn't know that except IKEA Home, other time-honored furniture brands are also good at traditional furniture craftsmanship and designs used by the family, but modern office furniture is not as familiar and familiar as IKEA Home, which led the designer team of Ye Tao. This kind of furniture purchase, Li Sishu, the general manager of Da'ai, handed it to his adopted son Li Mian. Although Li Mian did not want to be biased because of his good relationship with Ye Tao, except IKEA Home, there is nothing suitable for all other furniture companies... Although this order may be nothing for the IKEA Home Furnishing, which has now made a big move to a more profound and extensive field of business focus, IKEA's ability to enter Qinzheng Hall still leaves an indelible impression in the hearts of many furniture manufacturers in Danyang.

Ye Tao, who had just entered Qinzheng Hall, was the fourth seat on the right hand side of the king. Because of the large amount of documents and materials needed for the Yunzhou area, and the lengthy time of each meeting, the meetings in Qinzheng Hall are now quite similar to the modern meetings in Ye Tao's mind... It's just that there is no computer, no projector, and no ppt.

At this meeting, not only the ministers from Dongping, but also the two of the Dai family: Ye Tao already knew Dai Ye and Dai Che, the general manager of the Dai family in Danyang who he had never met, was Dai Che.

As an official who had just returned from the Yunzhou front, Ye Tao's statement on the current situation was highly valued by everyone, and the deployments that Ye Tao and the Xueqi Army had made in the front were in line with the tribal policies that Ye Tao had imagined. Naturally, Ye Tao's approach to paving the way for the strategies he had formulated was very disliked by those officials who had originally disliked him. The civil servants headed by Pang Rong, the Grand Secretary of the Yong'an Palace, mainly had two questions: one was to recognize the equality of the identity of the tribe. Promising their political rights and the right to distribute spoils in the future were not in line with tradition, and there was never a precedent; the other was to adjust the tribal policies on a large scale, and the formation of regular tribal cavalry was combined with the many Yunzhou strategies that had been decided. The financial pressure in the mainland in a few years was too great, and Dongping could not afford it.

"Then besides doing this, there are other ways to make the tribes feel that under my Dongping rule, it is better than when the Dai family was in charge of Yunzhou? Since you said that they are people who are transformed from the outside world and have never been convinced by the king and can only be subdued by interests. Then, what is more beneficial than providing an environment conducive to the survival and development of the tribe?" Ye Tao said, looking at the two old men of the Dai family who sat aside and looked a little complicated, and said, "It's not because the Dai family has not fulfilled their responsibilities. On the contrary, during the years when the Dai family ruled Yunzhou, the Dai family has been making good use of various resources in Yunzhou, treating all tribes and families in Yunzhou equally, and persevering in ensuring the safety and development of Yunzhou.

It is precisely because of this that the Dai family has always been respected and loved by the whole country of Yunzhou. In the case of Yunzhou being attacked on three sides, only a few people chose to betrayed. Most of them stood on the side of the Dai family. There are many things. The Dai family has no time, energy and financial resources, and no resources available to do it. I, Dongping, actually, have very little money. In the first few years, I provided considerable guarantees in the supply of tea, salt, grains and other crops for food and seeds. And these are something I, Dongping, could easily do. As for changing the despicable title of tribalism in the court's official documents, isn't it the most basic respect for the people under my Dongping rule?"

Ye Tao naturally dared not imagine that there would be an idealized government in this era, including people, people's governance, and people's enjoyment, even in the time and space where he came from. This is just an idea. The elite political model is still the mainstream of the world. But it would be a bit nonsense to insist on using the derogatory names of barbarians, barbarians, savages, etc.

Pang Rong snorted coldly and said, "It's light. Where can I take out the minimum cost of millions of taels of silver every year? The ancestors divided the four peoples of the world with scholars, farmers, industries and commerce, determined the nine provinces and seven countries, divided the Central Plains and barbarians. Since then, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have reproduced for thousands of years. If the court arbitrarily changed the documentary rules, where would we have the face to face the ancestors in the future?"

Ye Tao curled his lips and copied another famous saying: "Is this true since then?" Ye Tao said indifferently: "The seven kingdoms of the ancestors have not been preserved until today. The sages of Lu, who divided the Central Plains and barbarians, have the farthest footprints in the Qinglu Plain. At that time, there were two countries separated from the current Yunzhou and the Benlang Yuan area, and he was no longer able to get close to it. The so-called division of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is probably because of this person.

The saints who were born know have never seen herders, and have never seen sailors who can even cross the ocean with the development of technology, the abundance of population, and the accumulation of people's determination to conquer nature... After hundreds of years, there have been too many changes. If you say, the basis for formulating tribal policies is about... A few words from a person who had never really seen the grassland hundreds of years ago, don't you think it's ridiculous? Is it true that it has always been like this?"

Questioning the sages!? Such things are almost unimaginable for most officials of scholars in this era. Even Huang Xuping, who thought what Ye Tao said, was reasonable, remained silent at this time. Although the status of those sages in this time and space seemed to be far behind the figures in the historical period compared to that of Ye Tao, and there was no single one who was a unique scholar. Although the scholars who respected those sages were overwhelming, there were also many people who questioned them.

In the Qinzheng Hall, there are many people who secretly applaud what Ye Tao said. At least, the general Zhuo Mang, who has been whispering beside Tan Xiaopei, admires Ye Tao's courage. The reason why Huang Xuping is not willing to speak is to a greater extent because Pang Rong, as a well-educated scholar in Dongping, has a huge influence among ordinary scholars. A pure civil servant like him really doesn't want to stab the hornet's nest. A scholar who has been instilled with stupidity is a very troublesome problem in any time and space.

Pang Rong was so angry that he glared at Ye Tao and pointed at him and said with a heartache: "What do you...you...you...you know about jesters like you? Your Majesty's great cause of unification, and your Majesty's many years of business that attracts scholars from all over the world will be destroyed in the hands of people like you."

Ye Tao's expression was cold and even a little contemptuous. This exaggerated rebuttal was actually even more powerless. He said: "Ununity is the great cause of unification, but it is also a martial arts. The premise of great unification is the prosperity of a certain country and the power of a certain king, but it also contains the pursuit of a common goal of an era." Ye Tao looked at Pang Rong slanted and said: "Since Mr. Pang is a knowledgeable man, at least he should understand that the so-called world trends will be divided for a long time, and it will be separated for a long time, which is definitely not caused by the so-called cycle of heaven."

"Why did the four countries and one state on our Middle-earth continent split from a unified country? That's because the country has not been able to resolve the various contradictions within the country. The contradiction between the rich and wealthy areas and the backward areas that have already developed, the contradiction between the central territory that regards itself as the Central Plains and the border ethnic groups with great differences in various aspects... The boy did not read a lot, but he also knew that the division was first started from Northern Liao, and it was nothing more than that many ethnic groups in Northern Liao that turned from nomadic to farming were not taken seriously. Northern Liao was always regarded as a remote area and existed as a central horse-raising area.

If the Dai family in Yunzhou had not always maintained good relations with the tribes and treated all the people of Yunzhou equally, how could the tribes in northern Yunzhou support the Dai family at that time and fight back against their tribes? Since the great man Pang has always regarded them as barbarians, don’t use the nonsense of being honest to the king to make excuses. These tribes simply think that they can be respected and live a better life with the Dai family. Now, what these tribes want to obtain from Dongping and are what we can provide, and it is exactly these." Ye Tao simply made it clear. Anyway, he had been disliked Pang Rong for a long time, so he didn’t care about it and simply broke up and made him unable to come to Taiwan.

"And now, why did Dongping position itself as a country with potential for a unified war? It's not simply because of the civil rule, it's not because of the genealogy of "The Millennium Lineage", that you proved that the Dongping royal family is related to that Millennium Family, nor because of the derivation and development of the saints' doctrine, but because of the continent where we live, once again has a strong cohesion."
