Tan Xiaopei touched his chin with one hand, thought quietly for a while before saying, "Since that's the case, then the matter of the West Barracks in the city is settled. How much money does it cost, what army it needs to be used, how many civilians need to be mobilized, this... The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War will give me a charter... Ye Tao, you might as well plan the ideas you mentioned about Danyang and submit them directly to me."

As soon as Tan Xiaopei finished speaking, Ye Tao was stunned. He couldn't help but sweat in his heart. When he was speaking just now, throwing out some things that were much ahead of the ideas of this era was the same, but it would be a matter of life to let himself plan and organize such large-scale urban planning and development. What he is proficient in is only technical matters. These things involving all aspects, large-scale funding allocation and large-scale interpersonal relationships are not what he is good at. But it is not convenient to say the word "no". If he said so generously just now, he suddenly said "I'm sorry, I can't do this job". When he meets a moody monarch, he might just be pulled out and beheaded. Although he knows that Tan Xiaopei is not such a person, at this time, he will definitely not be able to make the arrogant Ye Tao say something that he has faced.

Looking at Ye Tao's stunned expression, Tan Weixin knew that Ye Tao was feeling distressed. She quickly interrupted: "Father, you are in a hurry to demolish and flatten a large number of places to rebuild. You should wait for your wedding with Princess Bailian next year, right? Otherwise, half of Danyang would be built in new houses or something, wouldn't it be ridiculed?"

Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "It's just that. Looking at me, I'm anxious again."

Tan Weixin then said: "This matter is not something that can be taken out just by taking out the regulations. Wherever you can move and where you can't move. Whatever you want to send in the place you move, you have to think about what you want. Moreover, for such a big businessman must be supported by such a big businessman. After all, many places are in their hands, and they are not going to do whatever you want? Ye Tao has just come to Danyang for so many days, and your father, you asked him to take charge of this matter. Wouldn't you watch him offend all his future business path?"

Only Tan Weixin dares to say this. Tan Xiaopei is a monarch from a military background. He is far more familiar with and good at the military than the officialdom and the economy. Dongping's officialdom is not complicated, nor does it have too much intrigue. On the one hand, it is because the Dongping country is not too big after all, and all forces are entangled together, and fighting external pressure is much more important than fighting for internal rights. On the other hand, it is also because there is a general Zhuo Mang outside who controls an army that is completely loyal to the royal family, and inside, there are young but smart and sophisticated people like Tan Weixin who are constantly giving advice to Tan Xiaopei.

Others, especially those officials, sometimes when they give advice to Tan Xiaopei, their tone is quite bad, not to mention Tan Weixin, who has always been favored. Tan Weixin has always said whatever she thinks. Such statements that he does not want Ye Tao to preside over such things because he is worried about breaking his relationship with the business community, no one else dares to say except Tan Weixin. This is the most obvious way to protect Ye Tao. When Tan Xiaopei heard this, he smiled and said, "That's right... But no matter what, Ye Tao defeated Shang Baotang with three invitations to fight, which greatly increased the face of my Dongping Kingdom. This time, the army camp in the west of the city has such a comprehensive idea. There must be some rewards?"

Tan Xiaopei thought for a while and said, "Why not like this... In the name of Jian Pao's talent, Shi Tongzhi, appointed Ye Tao's construction director of the Ministry of Industry. How about it?"

The Chief Secretary Tongzhi means that the rank is equivalent to that of the Chief Secretary, but due to various reasons, there are specific tasks and are temporarily not officially included in the official level for assessment. These reasons have been attributed to Ye Tao, naturally because of his age. The Construction Department of the Ministry of Works has always been one of the most important departments of the Ministry of Works. The Chief Secretary is a fourth-rank official. Even if he is a Tongzhi, he is half a level lower than a formal official, but he can also be regarded as a middle- and high-ranking civil servant in the Dongping court. If he is a regular person, he will be considered a middle- and high-ranking civil servant in the Dongping court.

The regular promotion procedures require at least ten to fifteen years in the Ministry of Works. Such an appointment can be regarded as a step forward. Judging from Ye Tao's age, he may be qualified to enter the palace to discuss politics in less than 20 years old. This favor is unique under Tan Xiaopei, a monarch who has always valued qualifications and political achievements. The officials present were surprised, envious, and jealous, and looked at Ye Tao blankly.

He shouted "I received the order to thank me." Ye Tao turned his mind and knelt down and said, "Since Your Majesty is just asking for advice, the common people dare not ask Your Majesty not to do this. He does not dare to contribute to the country, but if he wants to say that he is an official in the court, he will never dare."

Tan Weixin wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and shrank back. She was also a little nervous. Such things were not too disobeying the national king's taboo, but it was difficult to deal with after all.

Tan Xiaopei curled his lips and said, "Get up and talk... Your statement is very interesting, don't you dare? You say it, why don't you? Could it be that you can eat this officialdom?"

"As an official, there is a way to be an official, but also a way to be a commoner. Not to mention the young people at this young age, if they enter the Ministry of Works, how much material discussion will it cause, no matter whether His Majesty has revolutionized the civilians to calm the civilians or continues to let me do things under pressure, it will not be a good thing for the entire Dongping. But when the material discussion is boiling, the civilians will inevitably be difficult to do, and it is difficult to say what they can do. In the officialdom, the mysterious ideas that civilians are best at, and where can they send them?

What about you? It’s better to continue to be your own commoner, a businessman who can always bring out new things, furniture, marching chess, and weapons, and occasionally build a garden to build a bridge to collect some pens. If you do it in a good mood, it’s up to Your Majesty to be very blessed. If you make a lot of noise, then your Majesty will scold you a few words, which will be a favor. And I can use the reason of ‘Young and ignorant’ to be fooled for two or three years, and you can do whatever you want. The ease and strictness of this life are really different. Please let Your Majesty be able to open your mouth..."

Everyone looked at each other, and had never heard of the idiom that the idiom that opens the Internet was used like this. It seemed that Tan Xiaopei was not going to appoint Ye Tao to be an official, but to imprison him. Tan Xiaopei was also amused, and laughed and said, "Okay, this is up to you. I still think there should be a young cabinet member in the Political Consultative Palace in a few years. Since you don't want to be an official, then forget it."

"Thank you for your kindness." Ye Tao gave a deep bow. Everyone could see that Ye Tao's thanks was sincere.

Never seen this person before. Facing Ye Tao like this, everyone was at a loss. Even Tan Xiaopei felt that he didn't know what to say. He waved his hand and said, "However, the matter of the city's western barracks should be left to you. You will never shirke me, right?"

Ye Tao quickly replied, "I have no choice."

Only Tan Weixin will understand this time, and she will think a little maliciously, is Ye Tao going to get a good share of the urban transformation plan if he doesn't become an official? Once this starts, the amount of silver invested will be at least several million taels. No matter how much it is, it is probably not uncommon. Ye Tao will definitely enter the planning work at that time, and some construction projects may not be created except for the construction team under his "father-in-law" Dai Yuege who was obviously trained to become the most advanced and technical construction team of this era. I believe everyone will like this kind of business without competition.

Tan Weixin thought about it, but she still admired Ye Tao in secret. Dai Yuege's construction team was not only using convenient construction equipment, but more importantly, their process was completely different from the construction teams of this era. The shortcomings of traditional Chinese-style wooden buildings wasted by waste of wood have been greatly improved in their hands. In terms of wooden buildings, they have almost played to the extreme. If they want to build a more gorgeous and majestic building, Ye Tao would probably have to make out cement and other things. At least, in the design of the west barracks of the city, the very familiar central fortress building is made of stone as the main building material.
