Chapter 158: Three Appointments

"Sister, brother-in-law, is he okay..." When Ye Tao was given a new appointment to Ye Tao, in everyone's surprise, Ye Tao led his guards, servants and staff teams who were far beyond this position to take office, Tan Weishi was a little uneasy.

Ye Tao's appointment was only the director of the Road and Bridge Department of the Jingluofu in Yunzhou. His main job was to manage all roads, bridges and all stations and checkpoints on the ground in Yunzhou, and to ensure traffic within the Yunzhou area. When funds were abundant, build roads or widen the original roads as needed. This is an extremely important and influential position. There is only one main road in Yunzhou now, which almost starts from the location of the camp built by the Dongjia Jixu Qi army, extends to a point west of Thunder Cliff, and then divides the

It was built with two roads, one to Suiyuan, the other to Ningyuan, and then all the way to near the ferry under Ye Tao on the Dihe River. In most parts of Yunzhou, only people can walk the road formed by more people, so there is too much room for construction of roads. The special granted him the establishment of stations and other service agencies on the main roads in Yunzhou to maintain roads with operating expenses and tolls, and the right to build roads is very operational. The problem is that this position of real power is really too real on the surface.

This is very consistent with Ye Tao's current appointment. If it happens to anyone else, it will probably attract a large number of envious eyes. The funds and manpower and material resources that can be operated in this position are really huge. Even if it is not intentionally to embezzle and accept bribes, the "propriety" gifts from various stakeholders in this position are enough to make a fortune. A series of stations along the way can arrange many of their subordinates so that this golden avenue can continuously create wealth for itself. In this position, it is very simple to make political achievements, and there is a lot of room for promotion in the future, as long as you are not too stupid, you can advance the road and bridge construction step by step.

However, this appointment happened to Ye Tao, which inevitably made people think a lot. Since many industries in Yunzhou have not taken over, local finances also need time to take over. Now all the expenses of the Luqiao Department are allocated directly from the inner government. Let Ye Tao, the son-in-law, take care of this matter, naturally have factors that their family trust. However, combined with the continuous debates in the court a while ago and the struggles in the open and secret times, this appointment obviously made Ye Tao fade out of the right and wrong, so as not to let Ye Tao be surrounded by various hostile eyes. There is also a downplay of the struggle, allowing those civil officials who were very dismissed by Ye Tao to serve with peace of mind and not cause turmoil in the court. But the balance between the two is really hard to say.

Compared with Ye Tao's previous Canal Governor's Office, or the errand that could decide on Yunzhou affairs with just one word, this appointment was really too dull for a young official like Ye Tao. Ye Tao, who was so dull that he could always create unexpected tricks, was also likely to remain dull in this position. He finally became one of the "capable officials" of the Dongping court following the rules.

Tan Weishi, who can see such a relationship clearly, will naturally be a little worried. The most attractive thing about Ye Tao is that he can always find various ideas and practices that transcend common sense but are reasonable in the traditional model. Tan Weishi was also very afraid that this position that seemed to be unable to make any waves would remove Ye Tao's wonderful creativity.

"How could your brother-in-law have something to do?" Tan Weixin smiled. "Just just what he said up, the father asked him to sort out detailed statements. He also imagined some methods to avoid various problems that may arise after unification. He is qualified to write such a statement. The father has already recognized Ye Tao and Wang Zuozhi's talent. In Yunzhou, it is probably the place where your brother-in-law can avoid the limelight. Calm down and organize his thoughts, and do some practical things easily at the same time."

Tan Weixin did not tell Tan Weishi about the work that Ye Tao had undertaken privately. Except for the work that everyone thought was accumulating merits, in addition to planning the great and ethereal work of Dongping, Ye Tao was responsible for a lot of things.

If Ye Tao's plan is put into court, it will be absolutely unpassable. Moreover, Tan Xiaopei cannot guarantee that the people in the Political Affairs Hall and the people around them will be reliable. If the news is leaked, it will be a good thing. The first bureau of the Dongping Intelligence Bureau under construction will be Nie Rui, and Nie Rui will directly govern the promotion of the Leiyin Demon Sect in Xiling. Ye Tao is a key part of the plan. He will be responsible for establishing the entire Leiyin Demon Sect's doctrine system and training.

In the first few batches of various faculty members, especially to train a group of "priests" with strong penetration, communication and incitement to preach. These personnel, in addition to selecting a group of internal security guards, are more likely to select people of all ages from various industries and royal farms that operate in the inner government and manage, who are loyal to the royal family, flexible thinking, good at dealing with people or have some performance in leadership. When handing over these groups to Ye Tao, they are just for the sake of Tan Weixin in name only.

Let Ye Tao better establish the station system along the main roads in Yunzhou and just draw personnel from his own industry. However, after a period of training in public relations, group learning, psychology, interpersonal communication and behavior, Ye Tao will select potential people from them to conduct further training in religion and communication skills, and naturally, fighting skills, password use, and a series of spy products that mainly use the first generation of invisible ink mainly used lemon juice are also included.

After these trainings, qualified people in all aspects will be sent to Xiling. Zhuo Xianchen has retreated from Xiling and is now staying in Xiling, occupying the castle of the Li family, and slowly making early arrangements for the Leiyin Demon Sect in Dongping. This guy, who is said to be the name Lei Chi, has calmed down the pursuit of what happened in the Li family castle through bribery and threats, and made it cleverly change into a property handover that may have some conflicts...

Under the current circumstances, Ye Tao stayed away from Danyang and Dongping's power center, but gave Ye Tao a solid and stable position, allowing Ye Tao to train intelligence personnel in places where everyone is not very concerned about. On the one hand, it implies that Ye Tao is lazy and likes to deal with things rather than interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, it also laid the groundwork for changing Ye Tao's position in the future and giving more important appointments. Moreover, Ye Tao is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can do anything except Tan Xiaopei.

He easily moved him. The training personnel and the expansion costs of the Leiyin Demon Sect in Xiling were handled by Ye Tao's Luqiao Division. However, since Luqiao Division was all allocated by the inner government, the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate had no room for interruption. In the future, when Ye Tao was transferred, as long as the person in charge of the inner government said that the accounts were fine, it would be fine. But the person in charge of the inner government is still talking about Weixin today. Even if there is any problem, it would be too simple to smooth it out with her reputation as the "Fake Account Queen".

Tan Xiaopei used such an appointment to ensure that Ye Tao would not be further involved in the disputes between the court and the future, but also used two other errands to greatly enrich the connotation of this appointment. Behind such an appointment, not only Tan Xiaopei's repositioning of a very talented young man like Ye Tao, but also placed him as a close minister who could share secrets. Although Ye Tao seems to be a little frustrated now, when these benefits are gradually revealed, it is too late for everyone to envy him.

If someone is very dissatisfied with such an appointment, it is probably Ye Tao himself. He has just returned to Danyang and is going back to Yunzhou. Through Tan Xiaopei's explanation and Tan Weixin, Ye Tao really understood how important what he was to do. How good is this appointment, but the problem is that the director of the Road and Bridge Department is another coolie-type errand.

But what are the solutions now? Tan Xiaopei generously promised next summer. After the prince Tan Weiming and Prince Tan Weiran got married one after another, he would then arrange it for himself and Tan Weixin. The long time between nominal recognition of Ye Tao's identity as a prince consort to actually holding a wedding for the two may also set a record in Dongping.

Is Luqiaoshi really a place that makes Ye Tao's mind full of creativity nowhere to be used? Ye Tao doesn't think so, at least he will not be the director. Since Ye Tao has already gained a considerable reputation in Yunzhou, he can do many things that others are difficult to operate. Just when his convoy was temporarily stationed in the Dongjia Market Camp, the first caravan of the Yunzhou tribe also came to the Dongjia Market Camp. This huge caravan led by Golan, the patriarch of the Solo tribe, undertakes much more than trade. At least one-third of the various materials carried by the caravan were prepared to be dedicated to the Lord of Dongping. Golan will express his obedience to Dongping on behalf of the tribes in the northern part of Yunzhou, and hope to get a promise from Tan Xiaopei.

After a full half-day consultation with Golan, Ye Tao introduced to Golan to Liu Qing, who was the contact person of Qihai Trading Company by his side, and introduced the merchants who followed Ye Tao's car to Yunzhou to find business opportunities after the war, and gave Golan a great news: In order to ensure the salt supply of the grassland tribe, the inner government sold the two pieces in the middle of the four salt fields under its name at a "reasonable price"

The Yunzhou tribe and the Yunzhou tribe held shares in these two salt fields. The Dongping court did not interfere. In the first three years, the inner government would be responsible for the staff of the original salt field, and teach the tribes the staff about salt drying, impurities removal, purification and other salt making processes. All the salt produced by these two salt fields is exclusively for Yunzhou and cannot enter the territory of the Dongping Plain for circulation. Due to the huge number of horses in the tribe, the Ye Family Workshop produced

With the support of new four-wheeled carriages and other conditions, it can be imagined that the cost of salt in tribes will be greatly reduced. They will not only have sufficient salt to ensure the consumption of daily diet, but also have a considerable portion of them to pickle excess meat for storage. This alone is extremely huge to improve the living conditions of tribes. As for the problem of tea, since Dongping itself is not a major tea producer, in addition to a few special tea varieties with small yields, most of the ordinary tea consumed daily are also introduced from Chunnan. In order to ensure that tea can be self-sufficient and to ensure the needs of Yunzhou, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry of Dongping are trying to expand the production of tea in Dongping. The first batch of old tea farmers and workers who have mastered the tea making technology at any cost have come to Dongping. In the southeast of Dongping, it seems that tea houses are more suitable for producing tea.

"Sir... it's all thanks to you." Hearing what Ye Tao said, Golan bowed deeply to Ye Tao. The old man is a hero on the grassland and has a lot of strength. Ye Tao couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

"This really has nothing to do with me." Ye Tao laughed: "When the court was still arguing, His Majesty's arrangement began. His Majesty originally meant that even if the terms and conditions were too much boycotted, they could not be passed immediately, and they could not be allowed to wait too long. Now the internal government's financial situation is good, so I will help you solve it through the internal government. Anyway, His Majesty himself doesn't care about spending a few less money, and everyone has nothing to say. And now, since the government has passed, it will be the fastest to solve it, and there will be no trouble."

Dongping's rapid response to the implementation of Yunzhou tribal policies has a great impact on the leadership of the tribes such as Golan. This figure is estimated how much income the two salt fields can bring to the inner palace every year. Even in order to ensure Yunzhou and the supply of northern tribes, they are already very satisfied with selling them to them according to the fact that the salt prices in Yunzhou have slightly decreased. Now, the salt fields are in their own hands. Although the salt fields are too far from Yunzhou, they always feel that they are beyond reach, but after all, they are much better than completely relying on others. The conditions for this part of the supply are simply that the production of these two salt fields is not allowed to return to Dongping, interfering with the Dongping market.

Only fools will let salt flow back to Dongping. You must know that when salt is rich, doing business with tribes in the north is the way to maximize profits. If you master it properly, Yunzhou's special salt supply can even become a powerful tool to threaten northern tribes and divide northern tribes. As long as you master it properly, the situation where more than 100,000 cavalry suddenly may never happen again.

"Since Your Majesty is generous to us, we are also happy to our friends. Brother Ye, please give me a brief explanation. How much should we tribes pay to buy the two salt fields?" Golan asked with great enthusiasm.

"I don't know about this. Your Majesty will not ask about this business in person. You have to negotiate with my fiancée for most of this business." Ye Tao said with a smile: "You are all my friends. Don't worry, although it will definitely not be cheap, it will not be a big number. You must leave you enough money to do business... Do you still remember what we said about doing business together? When the road is repaired and a large number of goods can be shipped out, there are too many opportunities to make money."

Golan shook his head slightly and said, "You underestimate us too much. There are no other things, there are many cattle, sheep and gold in your hands."

Ye Tao quickly apologized: "Well, it's my fault. Then let me tell you another good news. If you go to Danyang this time, if you encounter some local officials on the way, you dare to call you barbarians or something, use a whip and don't beat them to death. Although this matter needs to be subtle, you must be persistent enough to help us friends."

Ye Tao squeezed his eyes. Golan laughed knowingly. This suggestion was too much for his thoughts. The impression in his heart of the Lord Dongping, whom he had never met, immediately became full of. This Lord was really an interesting person. Golan had a foreshadowing that he should be able to become friends with Lord Dongping.
