Chapter 26 Entering Beijing
Calling his father Ye Laogeng and Qi Zhentao together, Ye Tao expressed his desire to go to the capital one soon.
"Now, what are you going to do?" Qi Zhentao felt that the development of Zuozhong is progressing steadily. With a fixed sample, Ye Tao will leave for a while, but it will not be unacceptable. However, what exactly Ye Tao should do? According to Qi Zhentao's idea, that Yi Zhan Tower is too unpredictable compared to Zuozhong's business. It is really not worth it to go to the capital to supervise the construction of the Yi Zhan Tower for that matter.
Ye Laogeng had another idea. Knowing that "Ms. Zhuo" sent someone to deliver a letter and brought an eagle as a messenger, Ye Laogeng became more and more curious about the identity of the lady. If only being able to tame an eagle to deliver a letter, eight of the 10 wealthy families in Dongping could not be done. Ye Laogeng knew that he had to do a big business, he had his own skills, but he had to have a backend. In the past, when the Ye family had not yet started, no one could rely on, but only craftsmanship was the most important. But when the Ye family achieved this point, it was not a matter of money and craftsmanship. If he could help his backer at critical moments, it would be better. Even if he just built a yard for that "Ms. Zhuo", Ye Laogeng felt that it was natural.
Qi Zhentao is already in his 60s, but Ye Lao Geng is only in his early 40s. It can be said that Ye Lao Geng grew up listening to Qi Zhentao's legend. Although Qi Zhentao now treats the Ye family as a partner, Ye Lao Geng is still a little nervous when facing Qi Zhentao. When Qi Zhentao asked Ye Tao, Ye Lao Geng refused to speak.
"Mr. Qi, I guess the second and third clocks will come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, right? In fact, with a few clocks, the difference between me and me and not me is not that big. But don't you think it is a good opportunity to let this clock go to the capital to show off your appearance?" Ye Tao said, "When I arrived in the capital, I looked for an opportunity to show my face at the banquet of the dignitaries and nobles, and let them bid for the higher price. It is a transaction and a great deal to strengthen the business of the clock. Isn't it good?"
"Aren't you afraid of those dignitaries in the capital?" Qi Zhentao was a little moved by Ye Tao's statement, but he also had concerns.
"After entering Beijing, I first visited the Zuo family and asked for money, and then went to see the Miss Zhuo, and started the matter of Yi Zhanlou. Since my woodcut looks are in the hands of Lord Huang, it is natural to visit Lord Huang. Old man, do you think that after going all the way, do you dare to *? If there is really, then there is really a person who can't deal with." Ye Tao said without caring.
Qi Zhentao snorted and asked, "What are your tricks?"
Ye Tao shrugged and said, "Actually, Miss Zhuo sent a messenger and even sent an eagle to deliver a message. She was not in a hurry to get into Yi Zhanlou. But she also said that there is indeed a place I can help now. Being able to work hard at this time will be more popular than those who do business in the future, right? I know that the old man looks down on Yi Zhanlou's petty business, but the Ye family has a weak foundation and is not as good as those wealthy families. Yi Zhanlou and marching chess are not a different way of wealth, and I really don't dare to underestimate Miss Zhuo's face."
Qi Zhentao pondered for a moment, looked at Ye Laogeng again, and asked, "Boy Ye, tell me, what is the origin of Miss Zhuo?"
Ye Tao thought about it and said truthfully: "Miss Zhuo, whose real name is Tan Weixin, is Princess Zhaohua, the most beloved daughter of the king of the country today. As for the one who came to find her sister to return to the capital later... Unfortunately, it happened to be the prince."
Ye Tao's expression and tone were not fake at all. In the past few years when dealing with Ye Tao, Qi Zhentao also knew Ye Tao's temper. If he didn't want to say it, he could hide it all the time, but he would not make up lies to swear. It is precisely because of this that the prince and the princess actually came to Yicheng in disguise, and Princess Zhaohua became Ye Tao's business partner, which made it even more incredible. Qi Zhentao also understood that it would be better to let Ye Tao go to the capital, otherwise, if there was any chaos in the Yi Zhan Building where Princess Zhaohua and Ye Tao were jointly with, who would be angry? Although the national lords and family are famous and reasonable, in such a position, the standards of reasonableness are different from those of ordinary people.
Ye Laogeng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Of course, when he knew that his child was getting along well with the princess, he would definitely be able to take care of the business in the capital. Ye Laogeng had no idea except to be happy. After inviting Qi Zhentao to have a meal, Ye Tao's entry to Beijing this time was finalized.
A few days later, Ye Tao brought 20 apprentices from the Ye Family Workshop with two clocks. Under the escort of 10 servants sent by Min Yue and Qi Zhentao, he rushed to the capital under the leadership of the imperial guard Lu Dan.
Lu Dan is becoming more and more curious about Ye Tao. Although he only stayed in Yicheng for a few days, he was able to enter the top floor of the Yi Zhan Building, participate in the research and development of the marching chess strategy gameplay, and personally experience the feeling of commanding the army to fight on the huge sand table. It is a good experience for Lu Dan. Although his guard like this, he may be an officer in the border guarding army in a few years, but he does not think that he can become a general and commander in the future with his qualifications. However, he vaguely feels that he will be a general and commander in the future with his qualifications. However, he feels vaguely
As for the feeling of commanding the movement of chess pieces representing the army on the sand table, watching the arbitrator calculate the losses according to the strength of both sides when the chess pieces collided, and forcing the opponent into a desperate situation step by step, there must be some similarities with the real command of the army's combat. Otherwise, the game on the table would not have made Lu Dan feel confused, and almost all the thoughts were about how to defeat the opponent. However, how could Ye Tao, who was young, know what the army was doing?
Ye Tao, who has never left Yicheng since he was a child, prepared various things during his travels very thoughtful. It also makes people curious. Is there really someone who is born to know it?
