Chapter 237 Impotence

Thinking of this, Shen Dan turned around and summoned many disciples from Xiuyuan, and told them one by one about what happened when he met Ye Tao, and said without any concealment about his reprimand when he was summoned by His Majesty. Then, he suggested that those who thought they were competent to go to Yunzhou with him and start from the grassroots officials at the grassroots level. In fact, when he vaguely revealed that Tan Weishi had hope of entering Ye Tao's family as he wished, many people made a secret decision. For them, Tan Weishi far surpassed his parents of food and clothing, and that was the goddess in their hearts. They did not have hope to be with His Royal Highness the Princess, but this did not affect their willingness to die for the princess, and were willing to silently protect their goddess's wishes. From this moment on, in fact, the group of officials who would be called the Xiuyuan system in the future had already formed...

Ye Tao didn't know this. In fact, he wouldn't care even if he knew it. In Yunzhou, there were too many officials from various factions. The young children of various major families in Yunzhou were the same faction. Ye Tao demanded the separation of the regime and clan power, and clan punishment must give way to the official's formal judicial ruling. Major families are not allowed to enjoy privileges. He did not deny the ruling ability of those who had been in various places for many years or those with close ties to the clan. In the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, those technical teams composed of professionals who were doing this kind of thing and rarely had the opportunity to become officials.

Officials are another faction. In the Yunzhou environment, these technical officials have a strong voice. Many of the tribes from Benlangyuan are now serving in Yunzhou. Some of these people have used their original expertise in the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, but a small number of people who have been in contact with the same education as those of the aristocratic families since childhood. In fact, because their vision is broader and their personalities are more refreshing and straightforward, these people have really admired their grades; and there are officials who have been constantly selected to send Yunzhou from the territory of the East Plain, and there are even many people from the Intelligence Bureau among them.

The situation in the army is also similar to that of Yunzhou local system, Blood Qi Army system, Tribal system, Imperial Army system, Jianghu system... If anyone else serves as the Yunzhou Strategic Envoy, he will probably have a headache about this. But Ye Tao has good relations with all parties, and he has never cared about factional issues, just whether he can do a good job. Moreover, Ye Tao once spoke out that when the number of officials reaches a certain limit and fills the framework of Yunzhou's rule and governance organization to a certain limit, a new official performance evaluation system will begin to be deployed and implemented. It doesn't matter who is which faction, but what is important is that everyone must actively contribute to the construction of Yunzhou...

For Ye Tao, most of the people are from poor scholars, have experience in hard work and are positive and positive in character. I am afraid he will not feel anything.

Ye Tao was not interested in most of the activities of Lian Fei's visit to relatives, especially the initial period of worshiping the Chang'an ancestral temple in Yuhang. The most unbearable thing was that Lian Fei and her party took more than a month to arrive in Yuhang from Danyang. The most delayed were those ceremonial guards from Chunnan that walked on the trail and determined the speed of the entire group. Chunnan has never been a country with a good cavalry tradition. Chunnan, which has always followed the ancient rituals, could only do this in terms of ceremonial guards. This made Ye Tao depressed

It's broken. Due to the advancement of road engineering and the maturity of four-wheeled carriage technology, mechanical and even the first generation of hydraulic suspensions have been born, and there are also a large number of horse resources. As the Yunzhou Strategic Commander Ye Tao often travels to and from Ye's workshop, Ningyuan City, Suiyuan City, and Thunder Cliff, but everyone in Yunzhou knows that when it can be maintained comfortably, Ye Tao's standard speed is between 200 and 260 miles a day, and this speed even includes most of the lunch break.

Originally, he felt that going to Chunnan was purely boring, Ye Tao was extremely impatient with such an itinerary. In front of Chang Hongquan, he complained that the thing worth watching in Yuhang was the bell tower project under construction. And the time when the Lianfei carriage drove from Danyang to Yuhang. No matter how good the scenery along the way was, according to his itinerary speed, it would be no problem to watch it ten or eight times.

Concubine Lian and the Chunnan envoy were naturally furious. Especially Concubine Lian Chang Ling, she had long felt that the itinerary of visiting her relatives might be a problem. She had originally returned home in a rich manner, showing her majesty, and at the same time, the arrangement of enhancing her influence in the Dongping Palace and the court through the actions of the Chunnan royal family was likely to be disrupted by a large group of people. Ye Tao, who was nominally "accompanied" with the "accompanied" and had no intention of accompanying her, and set out with the visiting group, led by Chi Yun. The young scholars and the "cultural visiting group" in Dongping were personally led by Tan Weishi, and did not pay much attention to Concubine Lian at all. Many of her requests were completely ignored.

In fact, Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, and Tan Weishi all the things that were tossed out. Only the various plays that were constantly staged in the explanation hall of Yi Zhan Building made Concubine Lian very popular. This time, Chang Ling specifically asked Liu Xiangyuan to organize a troupe to go to Chunnan with him, but it was almost stranded because of a serious problem raised by Liu Xiangyuan: there was no suitable venue.

The typical stage structure of the explanation hall has no similar venues on site in Chunnan. Tan Weishi organized and funded by the various operas and troupes led by Liu Xiangyuan, and have complained countless times that the capacity of the explanation hall is not large enough, and just this standard stage makes the schedule impossible. Just last month, Liu Xiangyuan's troupe carefully prepared an opera for three months, and only played seven games in four days, and had to give way for another marching chess open competition, making everyone complain. The super tense schedule arrangement of the explanation hall may not be changed until the completion of the Lanxin Grand Theater, which is under construction in full swing, will be completed.

Lanxin Grand Theater, as a building that Ye Tao took his busy schedule to design basic building structure and acoustic characteristics, can accommodate 1,400 audiences, with the most ideal acoustic characteristics of this era, and has left the allowance for further installation of other types of equipment in a few years. There are also six small theaters that can accommodate 100 to 300 people to meet the needs of different types. After the construction of the Lanxin Grand Theater, all the construction teams of Ye's Construction Bank, who are responsible for the construction, will all go to Yunzhou. At first, everyone is looking forward to, looking forward to, and imagining the construction project of the latest city in the north of Dongping, which may not return to Danyang in the next few years, which will surprise Danyang people, whose appetite has become increasingly amazing over the years, are once again surprised.

But Danyang people are not in a hurry. Compared with the many advanced concepts of the city in the north that has not been named, Danyang is indeed a bit old. After the city in the north is completed, the comprehensive renovation project of Danyang will be launched, and the design and construction standards implemented by the new Danyang are: the capital of the entire Middle-earth continent to unify the country in the future.

Compared with the people of Dongping who are uplifting and constantly seeking innovation and change, Chunnan, especially Yuhang, the capital of Chunnan, does seem to be inconvenient. If Dai Yuege had not been to Yuhang at Tan Weishi's request and brought two construction teams to Yuhang and completely renovated and built a vacant ancestral temple building in just one month, the idea of ​​Lianfei Chang Ling's invitation to Liu Xiangyuan's troupe to perform in Yuhang would have been vain. But Chang Ling did not want to accept the favors of Ye Tao or people related to Ye Tao for this matter. She regarded these things as another way to show off her power.

But in Chunnan, especially Chang Hongquan, he could not force Ye Tao to accept their arrangements. Ye Tao promised to sell a large number of high-quality military horses to Chunnan, and the cooperation agreement reached with him in private, that Ye Tao could protect himself in Chunnan, and that he would protect himself no matter what happened within Chunnan. In addition, he did not like Lianfei Chang Ling, so Chang Hongquan finally proposed a plan that Ye Tao felt acceptable. Ye Tao would not act with the visiting team. He would first enter Chunnan and visit several places including Chang Hongquan's fiefdom Jinzhou, and then arrive in Chunnan before Lianfei arrived in Yuhang to cooperate with a series of activities. Then, he would take a boat from Dongping Navy or Qihai Trading Company in Yuhang Port, return to Yicheng, then from Yicheng to Danyang, and then return to Yunzhou.

In this way, Ye Tao can achieve the goal of assessing Chunnan's technical potential and war production potential that Tan Xiaopei asked, but compressed the itinerary to a slightly more than two months. In addition, the time between Yunzhou and Danyang was four months, which was much shorter than the previous estimate of half a year. As for this arrangement, it would make Concubine Lian even more angry, and it would make many officials and clans in Chunnan feel that he was extremely rude... Speaking of which, Ye Tao really doesn't care. The investigation that Tan Xiaopei asked him to conduct fully demonstrates the attitude of the king.

Naturally, he could not let him go to Chunnan for inspection, just like in Yunzhou, with nearly a thousand guards and guards accompanying him at any time. The security of accompanying him must be handed over to the Chunnan military. Ye Tao had no objection to this, and even Liu Yong, Guan Huan and Liu Qing had no objection. They personally selected a guard unit with only fifty-five people. In addition, Ye Tao and his party, including female family members, close servants and clerks, had only eighty-two people in total. However, Liu Yong's request for the escort force provided by Chunnan made Chunnan almost collapse. He simply said that the number of people doesn't matter. Don't be fancy ceremonial guards, but you must not delay Ye Tao's itinerary. And this speed, Liu Yong said politely that it was one hundred per day.

Over sixty miles. Chang Hongquan generously assisted in solving this problem. He asked his personal soldiers and the Chunnan Imperial Guard to form an elite cavalry team to take on the defense mission this time. If it wasn't good to send all his guards out, he even wanted to leave this unit. This was Sun Jin's suggestion. He knew that the officers and guards who accompanied Ye Tao in his rank were good at cavalry techniques and tactics. Without them, they just ran back and forth with Ye Tao and his ranks, looked with their eyes, and learned with their heads, even if they could only learn to be similar, it would be a good thing. You must know that the people around Ye Tao's side had far higher achievements in cavalry skills and tactics than the cavalry units of the Blood Qi Army.
