Chapter 43 Glory

The same surprised Ye Tao's calmness included the king Tan Xiaopei. When Ye Tao gave him a big bow to him, when Tan Weixin symbolically introduced Ye Tao to the king, when Tan Xiaopei praised his outstanding performance a while ago and for his overly popular gift of making the iron-blooded hero cup, Ye Tao's performance was far more sophisticated than Tan Xiaopei expected, and far less likely than he expected. Indeed, what he deserved was what he deserved, and Ye Tao's expression was calm, but there were a few more distinctions. If you barely describe it, Tan Xiaopei felt that it seemed that Ye Tao was still not satisfied with his performance.

"Ye Tao," Tan Xiaopei finally turned his attention to Ye Tao after asking about the general progress, "Did you plan the strategy of this barracks?"

Ye Tao bowed and replied, "It's exactly what I'm going to do."

Tan Xiaopei nodded and continued to ask: "I remember that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Works initially decided to establish a barracks, but why did the sketch you gave was really a city? The difference between them is a bit too big, right?"

Ye Tao was stunned, but Tan Xiaopei had no intention of criticizing him, as if he just wanted to get a more remarkable explanation. Ye Tao sorted out his thoughts and said happily: "It is not wrong to call this barracks a city." With the domestic system of Dongping, a population of 100,000 can be called a city, and the city walls, moats, etc. required at this level can be built with a certain system. Moreover, it is believed that such a system was not determined by

For issues such as the ritual system, it is more considered that the cost of building city walls and digging moats is high, and it is not appropriate to add too much economic burden to the country. However, as long as there are conditions, it is still encouraged to build a suitable defense system by yourself, and even places below the city. Dongping has twenty-two cities that meet population standards, but in fact, there are forty-nine local defense systems that meet city standards. And with the importance of the barracks here, it is naturally worthy to build with the standards of cities."

Tan Xiaopei glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Works. Ye Tao knew that these situations were not surprising. It was definitely a very unfamiliar job to ask him to do such a job that was definitely unfamiliar to his resume. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War always had to provide information to allow Ye Tao to have a general overview of Dongping's current city construction. In this era without the so-called concept of confidentiality, whether it is to value Ye Tao as a young but extremely talented craftsman or because Ye Tao was recommended and made a guarantee by Princess Zhaohua Tan Weixin, the information from the Ministry of Works will be opened to Ye Tao to the greatest extent.

Tan Xiaopei didn't think what Ye Tao said was special. After all, this is the reality of Dongping Country, but Tan Xiaopei felt that what Ye Tao wanted to say was just the beginning... Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "Is this the only thing you want to say? If you have more ideas, you can say it together. For the country, this is a big project after all, but it is not irreplaceable. However, being able to preside over the planning of this project must have a different meaning for you, right?"

Tan Xiaopei's very relaxed statement seemed to make Ye Tao feel that when he used to express his design ideas to his boss and customers in the company. His eyes lit up and he bowed and said, "You should obey your order."

In that era, although Tan Weixin always felt that she was not proud of her life, there were many opportunities to make such expressions in the company. After all, conference culture has become one of the basic elements of modern enterprises. Seeing Ye Tao's spirit, Tan Weixin wanted to laugh.

After straightening up, Ye Tao said in a clear and wise voice: "From the beginning, I have designed this so-called barracks as a city. Danyang, as the capital of Dongping, has been built for a long time since its establishment. Due to the population growth, business and travel exchanges in various aspects have been many times more than when it was first built. In fact, now I am a little overwhelmed in taking on the functions of the city. Whether it is the original design planning or the current city's distribution and use of space, there are many problems."

With Ye Tao's words, his gestures began to increase, as if he was conducting a fully prepared speech, or a normal statement at a meeting held by someone who was not that different from someone who was not that different from him. A person who was successful in the modern workplace, perhaps such gestures, movements that accompanied the language to strengthen his persuasion, and even the movement of his eyes that were simple, are skills that needed to be mastered. They are all skills that are established with repeated attempts, experiences, successes and failures that are about to turn into instincts into conditioned reflexes. These natural movements, combined with the ups and downs in his tone, make what Ye Tao said more likely to affect others.

"...At present, the city is still a relatively closed space. Because we need the city wall to protect the city, this may not be changed until the city wall limits itself to us more than the effect of blocking the enemy's attack. Then, in the limited space of the city, how to allocate space and make all the spaces of the city play their due role is a very serious question. Deciding how to allocate such spaces largely represents the ruling's vision of the city's temperament and function."

Speaking of this, everyone present was shocked. Some of them may have vaguely realized the functions of the city and the temperament of the city, but they never dared to say it in public. At most, it is just a reference when making certain decisions.

"For example, Yicheng, as a harbor city and is located at the mouth of the Luo River, is the most convenient and fastest bridge for communication between Dongping inland areas and the outside world. Its function is the flow and exchange of materials. On the one hand, her temperament is commercial and wealthy, and on the other hand, it becomes leisure and comfortable due to Yicheng's unique climate and geographical conditions. In terms of defense, it can be said that although it meets the standards of urban defense facilities in big cities, it is only in line with it, with no highlights, and it can even be said that there are not many powerful defensive measures. But this does not affect Yicheng's status as an important city in Dongping and even on the entire continent."

"But Danyang is different. Danyang is the capital of Dongping, a special city that is different from any other city." Ye Tao paused and said: "In addition to taking on the functions of ordinary cities, Danyang is also an important occasion to show everyone the strength of Dongping Country. These strengths include population, economy, military, and culture. To talk about population, Danyang City now has a permanent population of nearly 900,000, plus business travelers and employees who come to Danyang for various reasons. During the peak period, students from all over the country who come to Danyang for exams need to be added. More than one million people need to stay. The prosperity of the population is beyond words. However, for Danyang, it is a little too prosperous. Speaking of economy, there are six main stores of the top ten merchants in Dongping, with various shops and workshop scales.

There are many rows and are very excellent. In terms of culture, Danyang seems to be a slight shortage. Jiaofang brothels can only be considered entertainment venues, calligraphy, painting and jade shops can only be considered luxury consumption, and have little to do with culture, so there is room for replenishment. In terms of military, Danyang City often has nearly 100,000 troops, which vary according to the different procedures of the mobilization of military brigades in various places. Compared with the importance of Danyang, it cannot be considered too many. However, if people who directly and indirectly serve the army, there may be 150,000 to 200,000 people, including craftsmen who make weapons, and various personnel who prepare clothes, other equipment, food, etc.... I think there are many reasons for the construction of the barracks in the west of the city this time, but considering the unbalanced proportion of Danyang in this aspect, it should be one of the considerations to divert the population of Danyang City to allow Danyang to take a breath."

Looking at Tan Xiaopei nodding with appreciation, Ye Tao smiled and continued: "Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to organize Danyang City to a greater extent? The garrison can be divided into tens of thousands of people, plus the families of the local garrison, and the large number of people who must follow the past to serve the army, almost 80,000 to 100,000. Even if these 80,000 to 100,000 people are enough to operate a city. As the capital of Dongping, Danyang has many precision ordnance workshops, which should also be transferred. At least, the ordnance department of my Ye's workshop is ready to be set up there. In a jurisdiction of the army and the family of the army, the level of contact between craftsmen and apprentices and the outside world is limited, and many unique technology outflows in Dongping

The possibility of this is greatly reduced. In fact, even other types of workshops, especially pottery and porcelain workshops, I think that the continuous coal-fired kilns will not be pleasing to the sky. These workshops may not be qualified to enter the military camp, but due to the construction of the military camp, it is actually not very long distance between Danyang and the military camp, and it can be considered extremely safe. It is better to build one to two villages and towns mainly in workshops and relocate the unsightly workshops in the city. The space that is freed up can do other things. Danyang is a unique city, and it should have the ability to control the entire space around. This space, including Danyang and the military camp, should naturally include the surrounding places where it can be used but is now idle."

Tan Weixin nodded secretly. The words Ye Tao said include the ideas of urban planning, urban positioning, and urban functional design that seem to have been gradually developed until modern times. Although it is not easy to implement, after several years of planning and deployment, once she can do her best, the development of Danyang and the surrounding areas can be further improved. It is no longer the extensive development of cities in this era that blindly accumulate population and shops, but more detailed, more comprehensive and more professional. Among the people present, she probably only understands the full extent of her statements. As a professional in the economy, she can do more and more abundantly than Ye Tao imagined.

Tan Weixin couldn't help but sigh. Her body really couldn't afford too much work, and Ye Tao's statements seemed to be easily affirmed. When one by one, what would she feel tired?
