Chapter 367: Hurry

When Guan Huan and Zhou Rui came back to wash and chat with Liu Yong and the others, Ye Tao was writing a secret letter. Without Feng Zi by his side, he had to do all the chores on the desk by himself. Although Tan Weixin has been idle now and after she gets better, she can do these things, but what she has been doing is such a very brain-consuming thing. After seeing too much Tan Weixin manually calculates various complex data, integrates various materials, and plans the future for Yunzhou, Zhenzhou, and Dongping. Ye Tao still hopes to let Tan Weixin take advantage of the time she came out to have a good rest.

Almost an hour passed, Liu Yong, Guan Huan, Zhou Rui and Jin Ze, who were hiding in the wing room, waited for Ye Tao. The document to report to Tan Xiaopei had been written and handed over to the correspondent of the waiting Intelligence Bureau. Seeing that Guan Huan and Zhou Rui were back, they were drinking quite sexually, Ye Tao also joined in. Of course, when he accidentally met Lord Xiling that day, it was the best dish to serve.

"What kind of person is that Xiling king?" Not only Zhou Rui asked, everyone had this question. Xiling's strength has never declined. The reason why it has suffered repeated setbacks recently is mainly because Dongping rose too quickly. With Ye Tao's Dongping, it will take decades to surpass Xiling in military technology. With Tan Weixin's Dongping, it has directly jumped into the advanced stage in the economic field. Although many regulations and processing methods seem to be less efficient and not so fast, this is a set that can be gradually used with the improvement of computing technology until the economic situation in this world develops to a situation that Tan Weixin cannot predict.

Xiling, originally regarded as the biggest imaginary enemy of Dongping, is still the same now. Although the core of the dynasty such as Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao, Chi Xianping, Huang Xuping and other dynasties have gradually transformed the biggest imaginary enemy into Chunnan, and Dongping is still the Chunnan of the allies, after all, it is not such an urgent threat. Although Xiling's million-dollar army has withstood two defeats in Zhenzhou and Dananguan, in terms of the size of the army, Xiling did not decline quickly. Most of the lost troops are from various families and ethnic groups.

The private soldiers are also very important. These families are even more willing to invest in building the army, especially maintaining the size of the army, even stronger than the king of Xiling. However, now Xiling has gradually realized that when Dongping General's military technology has developed to a situation that is incredible for this time and space, it is then blindly using this kind of relying on relatively low subsidies from the state and the investment of various families to maintain a large number of troops, which may have only prepared a large amount of cannon fodder for Dongping, the old opponent.

Since the fall of Zhenzhou, Xiling has actually begun to make changes in this regard. The original numbers of troops at all levels that were eliminated in Zhenzhou were no longer rebuilt. The funds invested in Zhenzhou every year were all turned to Taizhou and Zhongzhou areas to establish elite troops directly belonging to the court. Emperor Daomingzong has now rebuilt the Northern Road of the Abbot Army in Zhongzhou, which has been recognized. However, the Lord Xiling actually also hinted that Sun Boping would have the opportunity to establish the Abbot Army of the Leiyin Demon Sect. On the South Road, when the Battle of Danan Pass was gradually over, the remaining troops were

The rectification and merger were also carried out drastic. Although Xiling lost hundreds of thousands of troops, after rectification and condensation, and the inevitable learning of Dongping's advanced military technology and command ideas, Xiling's army will actually improve significantly in the next five to ten years. Xiling's ordnance manufacturing technology and design capabilities are indeed not as good as Dongping, which has Ye's workshop, but after all, it is not much behind. The quality of the steel produced by several major steel mills in Xiling is not worse than Yungang, which uses the latest technology. Compared with the steel produced in Dongping Liyang, the quality is even better.

While Xiling was adjusting military and developing, it tended to light taxes in politics. The king of Xiling cut off the royal family's expenses to a very low limit. The Xiling royal family did not have its own industries, and they were completely supported by the state's finances. The royal family was less expensive, and the state's finances were more abundant. However, in this time and space, few royal families would do this.

Ye Tao was summoned by that princess that day. When the royal family was greatly cut, these spoiled people had no complaints. Maybe they didn't dare to ask the king Xiling, who had always been known as the iron-fisted one, to add monthly routines. The princess was very polite, and there were also a few children from aristocratic families who had been to Yuanyuan Garden to accompany her. If it were a chat, it would be quite pleasant most of the day. However, no one expected that the king Xiling, who was so busy that he would be at this time recently, would arrive.

Although the king of Xiling was strong, he had a bit of Tan Xiaopei's demeanor towards his daughter and his friends. Although he was not kind, he was not strict. But this may be just because the third princess has always been one of his many children. The king of Xiling sat there for a short time. When he learned that the third princess wanted to ask Ye Tao for the recipe for making tea, he also drank a cup with great interest. Ye Tao originally brought anything when he entered the palace. Tea and other ingredients were prepared in the palace, so he naturally did not worry about any poisoning. The king of Xiling praised the taste of the tea, but criticized the third princess for asking the secret that others would not pass on, and there was something wrong with it. Then, he allowed the third princess to leave the palace to Yuanyuan Garden while reporting to the chief supervisor of the Great Inner, or summon Ye Tao to prepare tea. Then, he left.

What the Lord Xiling is most interested in is that this "Lu Zhen" is not afraid of him at all, neither because of his identity nor because of his majesty, nor because of his majesty, and even a slightly vicious expression. When facing the direct problem of Lord Xiling, Ye Tao secretly complained. This is not a question of fear or not. He has seen the three kings of Dongping, Xiling and Chunnan. Speaking of which, he is also a dominant figure. It is not easy to deal with people of this level of magnitude, but how to explain this?

Ye Tao felt a little blessed at the time. He almost blurted out: "Luxury means being close to others, strict means being deeply hoped. The superiors are against the subordinates, whether it is the king, the minister, the official, the soldiers, the parents, the younger generation, and the rulers are like this. Although Your Majesty has the reputation of being strict, he rarely does what he wants and exceeds the laws of the court. The common people work diligently and have no overcoming actions. What you can feel is Your Majesty's great love for the people of the country. I wonder why you must be afraid?"

The children of the aristocratic families present were sweating in cold sweat. The third princess and the king of Xiling had been getting along a lot. Although she knew that her father would definitely like the straightforward attitude of "Lu Zhen", she was also a little nervous. The king of Xiling was not angry at all. In recent times, the various affairs he had handled were somewhat less pleasant. But the young man he met today was a little interesting. He didn't know who Lu Zhen was, but just entered the palace where the third princess was and asked who was present today. A civil servant with her briefly mentioned Lu Zhen, saying that he was a child of the aristocratic family who fled from Zhenzhou and opened a tea shop to make a living.

It can be seen that the Lord Xiling had a good impression of the words "Lu Zhen". Ye Tao said casually, but the Lord Xiling smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "You might as well put the shop on the shop and exchange the prescription for something affordable, and come to be an official in the court. If you really have practical talents, you can emerge in the current situation."

Everyone heard the obvious intention of attracting the king of Xiling, and couldn't help but be sincerely envious of "Lu Zhen". The Xiling court is now simply recruiting talents, and is a bit unconventional. Whether it was a peddler or a noble family, as long as they could do things well and do things right, they would not be greedy and abuse the law, they would not know what elsewhere, but in Anqing, the promotion was definitely fast. The main reason is that Xiling now lacks people who can do things. If the king of Xiling was directly recruited by Lu Zhen, if Lu Zhen really wanted an official position, he would definitely not have a low level and too little power.

What was even more unexpected was that Lu Zhen did not thank the king for his grace, but respectfully expressed that he would seriously consider it...

Lord Xiling sat for a while, had a brief conversation with the young people present, and then left after drinking a cup of tea. But Ye Tao was sweating all over in this short period of time. At that time, there were no people like Liu Yong, Jin Ze, and Guan Huan around him, but the two people around Lord Xiling could tell that they were top experts with Ye Tao's eyesight. If there was a disagreement, he would never escape. If he was imprisoned, would Liu Yong and Jin Ze and the others still come to Anqing to rob the prison? God knows that they were just here to play.

The final result was naturally very good. Ye Tao escaped and got along with the children of those aristocratic families. The third princess also said that she would come to Yuanyuan Garden in a few days, while Ye Tao suggested whether to go on an outing. Unexpectedly, this suggestion made the children of the aristocratic families very happy. Now, except for so many major events, the atmosphere is extremely tense, and it is a bit inconvenient for everyone to go out. When going out for an outing, the third princess must be able to take the guards, the imperial guards, and the servants and guards around them, and they expected that there would be no problem. They immediately proposed several plans and prepared to go to the Royal Hunting Ground to play together. When they heard this, Ye Tao couldn't laugh anymore. Isn't that the Royal Hunting Ground the place where his second brother set up a large number of treasures? There are many arrangements from his own people. Not to mention anything else, just being able to go deep into the underground palace, you can hide for a long time, and then wait for the wind to pass and leave calmly.

"If it doesn't work, at least we can find an opportunity to kidnap. After kidnapping the third princess, we won't have to worry about not being able to run far. Even if we go directly to Xunshanguan and return to Dongping, there will probably be no problem." Kanze said with a smile.
