Chapter 193 Entrustment

Tan Weixin burst out laughing and said, "Do you want to take another Christine Dunst?"

Ye Tao was also amused and said, "Where do you want to go?"

When he returned to Zhengyuan, Ye Tao was still thinking about what to do with the errand of the Yunzhou Strategic Commander. The supper became a little boring.

"What's wrong?" Dai Qiuyan asked quietly, pulling Tan Weixin.

"I am worried about being appointed as the General Inspector of Yunzhou." Tan Weixin replied with a smile.

Dai Qiuyan said in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going to hear who was appointed? Why did you get appointed by yourself?... Sister Xin'er, did you know in advance?"

Tan Weixin said helplessly: "Actually, I knew it a long time ago, and I thought about it long ago. But my father didn't let me say it, and I had to wait for the patriarch of the Dai family to come to discuss it."

Dai Qiuyan nodded and continued to ask, "Isn't it good to be an official? It seems to be a very, very high-ranking official."

Dai Qiuyan had heard of Dongping's current court, but she didn't know how important this position was to the Yunzhou Strategic Sect. In her opinion, it was probably higher than the original Canal Governor.

Tan Weixin did not continue to explain, but just smiled. Yunzhou's Strategic Envoy was not just a high-ranking official, but was simply a territory-leading territory and had complete power in the jurisdiction. Moreover, this is undoubtedly the ultimate position. No matter how much credit is, he will never be promoted again. Now, and in the future, when Dongping can unify the world and establish the emperor, there will probably be titles and rewards. At that time, whether it is credit, qualifications or relationships, it is probably the lowest possibility. According to Tan Weixin, if Ye Tao and she did not want to rebel and become the emperor, then the current position will be in one step. Ye Tao, who was not very picky at the official position, naturally had different goals. If a person who aims to be an official and become a high-ranking official, was promoted to this point, he would basically lose the motivation to continue to struggle.

Liu Yong suddenly leaned forward, coughed, and reported, "Your Highness, Madam, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, and Your Highness came to Zhengyuan in a very low dress. He is waiting in the front hall at this moment."

Tan Weixin curled her lips in a defiant manner and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm asking Ye Tao to go there together. Please give me other things." Liu Yong nodded, turned around and walked away.

When they pulled Ye Tao toward the front hall together, they looked at each other from time to time. They really couldn't gather much attention to the guards and personal soldiers around them who were adjusting the defense of Zhengyuan. What kind of big deal is this? What kind of favor is it? Ye Tao and Tan Weixin were not surprised by this treatment. Since the father and son came to Zhengyuan in vain, they did not exaggerately create a ceremonial guard that would probably exceed a thousand people, but came to Zhengyuan like visiting relatives, then they were just like receiving relatives who visited relatives. On the contrary, the opportunity came, almost as soon as the meeting of the Imperial Study Room ended. It must be related to the appointment of Ye Tao as the General Inspector of Yunzhou. But what can't be said in the meeting of the Imperial Study Room?

"Your Majesty, two of your highness..." After saluting, Ye Tao asked calmly: "I don't know what matters is so important that you want to come together?"

Tan Xiaopei sat on a big horse with a golden sword. Tan Weiming and Tan Weiran were even more relaxed and comfortable in the living room to study the slide rails made by Ye Tao, which are both decorative and excellent playthings. Put an iron ball on the top of the slide rail, and the iron ball slid down bit by bit along the extremely complex shape of the slide rail, making a light metal scratching sound.

Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "I'll give you a lenient heart and explain the bottom line... Your Yunzhou Strategic Envoy is also the bottom line of the Dongping court. Some words are not suitable for those who say it in the court."

"Your Majesty, you can ask me to stay for a while, right? There is no need to mobilize troops to come here, right?" Ye Tao smiled bitterly. The king's home visit was not a good thing for him. Although he was so thick that he could completely ignore the attacks of those people in the court who disliked him, this kind of favor was not so easy to repay.

"No need." Tan Xiaopei said lightly: "Even if you don't understand the affairs of the officialdom very well, you will definitely think about how much I need to make to appoint you as the General Inspector of Yunzhou. After the appointment is announced, I am afraid that there will be many things that I have to consider tomorrow. I have to think twice and find memorials from all aspects that prove that you are not competent... Of course, you will know. Even for me, this is a very...a very stressful thing."

"Yes. Your Majesty." Ye Tao looked directly at Tan Xiaopei, just as Tan Xiaopei looked directly at him.

Tan Xiaopei stood up and stood at the entrance of the hall facing the quiet courtyard. All around were completely controlled by "his own people", and he was not worried at all that anything he said here would spread. "At that time, when the ancestors of the Tan family finally became the lord of a country, even if it was just a country that was not very big and did not look like there was a great future, it took two generations of people for a full forty years to understand the difference between governing the country and governing the army. After 55 years of its establishment,

The army of Dongping has only been out of the country for the first time and has begun to gradually expand its boundaries. Later, as the territory gradually expanded, as Dongping began to have ports to go out to sea, iron ore can be smelted and mined, and can forge soldiers and armor by themselves, many problems emerged. It can be said that it is good luck or a little paranoid. Tanjia actually managed Dongping to this point in this way. Many rules have been broken, and I have always ignored it. Sometimes, some of them were bandits in the past.

When the thieves gathered in the mountains and forests, the land was so naive that it was right, no matter what others said, they would do it with all their lives. When Dongping implemented the policy of valuing business, many people cried and shouted, saying that the customs were corrupt and the country would not be in a state. Now? The merchants in Dongping were naturally still bad horses, but more were loyal and upright people who were devoted to the country. My businessmen in Dongping may not have the most wealth, but their credit has always been very good. There are also land taxes to help the poor and restrict the powerful landlords.

When the land was annexed, I even fought for several years for this matter. Even though I, Dongping, had a strong military force, everyone felt that there was no need to throw too much money at the sea. Now my Dongping Navy has two powerful warships, Cangshui Ship, Lanshui Ship. There are even monster things like Yashui Ship... I, Dongping, rushed over all the way. If I think it is right, I will do it. If I think it is wrong, I will change it. There is no other trick. It is just a major national event, and sometimes it is not that simple to admit my mistakes."

Tan Xiaopei turned around, looked at Ye Tao, and looked at Tan Weixin again. He said, "Since the throne, I have probably done the most that I have done to the ancestors of my Tan family. It was to combine the seven taxes of the sea tax, set the regular taxes of the sea, and also completely unify the tax rates at several barriers on the land. The ones who were most resistant to this matter at that time were not only Huang Xuping's predecessor, and the Lord Situ named Situ, but also several families who started their own business as merchants. In order to calm this matter down, I threw it to them.

Each family has 500,000 taels of silver, which is considered to be a compensation for them. Hehe, the entire palace of the Tan family relies on less than 800,000 taels of silver. After a year, there is no need to mention the wealth in taxes, but it actually relies on merchants and adjusts the entry and exit of various materials. In just a few years, my Dongping has developed more than the previous ten or even twenty years. Of course, in this case when everyone is getting rich, because of Xiner, my Tan family has become rich. Now, it is not so distressing to do things that cost a lot of money occasionally."

Tan Xiaopei said self-deprecatingly: "Everyone says that my Tan family has never had an emperor's aura, and the lord does not look like a national lord. The prince does not have the prince's demeanor. The prince runs around all day long, and the princesses are all not doing their jobs... Hehe, I really don't think that those bullshit emperor's aura is what it is. Chunnan has an emperor's aura. The empire's arrangement was almost the same, but it still does this. Isn't it still demanding me? The emperor's aura cannot be used as a food. Instead, it is occasionally arbitrary. Occasionally, believing in family affection and loyalty are better than balance and restraint. I believe that I treat others as much as I do."

"Of course, I know that being a king of the country may not be right. When I meet a loyal minister and a patriot around me, I will naturally live a good life. If I meet a traitor and slanderous villain, I don't have to ask you all know that it is a fool. But even if I know that this is wrong, I still can't control myself and occasionally have to play like this."

"Ye Tao," Tan Xiaopei said with a serious meaning, "I appoint you as the General Strategy of Yunzhou because I think you can do those things well. In addition, it is also because I hope you and Xin'er will take out all your abilities. Those strategies you think are feasible should be implemented boldly. No matter whether there are precedents, whether they are in accordance with the convention, or what the court said... There must be land. I think about it now, there will be many, such as Weiran and your wife, who are in a collusion and planning to disrupt the government. Don't worry about these."

"Because... Ye Tao, the unified dynasties and the disintegration patterns you mentioned are really chilling. I can't control the so-called ancestral system and precedent, because if I planned the country like all the kings in the past, I dare not say that there was such a lucky one to do better than them, and I dare not say how long such a dynasty can last. Perhaps, the Tan family still did not achieve the eternal imperial career after all, but at least I must be sure: I did not fall on the road that my predecessors have proved to be wrong. Of course, I did not say that the things you and Xin'er advocated must be correct, and your path must be the correct path in the future of Dongping. But I should at least give you the opportunity to prove how wide and easy this road is, how much does it cost to build the road!"

"I hope you will succeed, but you will also allow you to fail. I will help you with the pressure. No matter what others say, let you do what you think, until you can prove that you are right, or until you admit that you have failed. How about that?" Tan Xiaopei's eyes burst into flames, "Do you, are you willing to, dare to break a new path for Dongping?"
