Chapter 52: Dismounting (Part 1)
FedEx has been successful in a clamor. Although it has not yet started its official operation, when the new year comes, it has set up a preliminary team, started recruiting personnel, starting employee training, and started to carry out various incredible actions by many merchants in this era. All FedEx vehicles, whether passenger and freight, are all painted bright blue, and have FedEx trademarks and names at the beginning and end of the car. All FedEx employees, except some managers, are all the same blue uniforms, with the same distinct FedEx logo and font behind them. The cuffs, shoulders and collars of the uniforms are clearly marked.
To express the level of employees, the requirements for the appearance of employees are even better than the requirements for military appearance and discipline in the army. In this era, FedEx was not only the first company to have a complete set of visual logo designs since ancient times, but also the first institution to clarify "responsibility, honor, and service" as its core corporate culture. Everything is too much like the army and is in line with the manners of these veterans. Even during the trial operation, FedEx's passenger and freight mixed transport team actually had scouts thirty miles ahead, guards 20 miles behind the hall, and even two wings kept protruding out and retracting... All this made FedEx, which was scheduled to be officially operated from February, made many merchants look forward to it.
However, this is not the most interesting topic. During this period, the most eye-catching thing was the women's team formed by Tan Weixin. Rather than being moved by Chi Lei, Chi Li, who had been idle for a long time, finally came out of her mood. When Tan Weixin was entangled by messy affairs, it was Chi Li who was actually operating this team that was destined to be eye-catching. In addition to Situ Huang Xuping's daughter Huang Wan, the daughter of General Zhuo Mang was also joined in the team one after another. She is already the mother of two children.
; There is Liu Xiangyuan, the first master of Danyang Guzheng; there is Liu Yong, the wife of Tan Weixin’s guard commander, and Cao Mo, a chivalrous woman who has retired for many years; there is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and Luo Ling, who is known for her good poetry and prose... In the end, this team almost captured all the famous Guishu, who is of sufficient level in Danyang, and became a super large salon-like group. During the event, not everyone likes to command the troops, but divides the work and cooperates. Some people even cook and make dim sum soup to reward those who devote themselves to outlining strategic and tactical female generals.
However, in several battles, the women's team had a very good record. After losing to the Ye family unit, they actually overturned two teams spontaneously organized by senior marching chess enthusiasts in Danyang, with good record. Then, in the process of fighting with the imperial guards, he dragged the battle into the ninth day with a tight defense and almost perfect mobilization and distribution of resources, and forced the imperial guards led by Chi Yun. For a moment, the limelight was unparalleled.
When the topic of the women's team began to gradually cool down, the marriage ceremony between the king and Princess Bailian of Chunnan Kingdom was imminent.
On this day, the Minister of Rites Kang Zhen and Prince Dongping took a large number of people out of the city to welcome the huge bride-seeking team in Chunnan Kingdom. Tan Weixin stayed at home and gave the report about Princess Bailian sent by Zeng Man to Ye Tao to share with him for entertainment.
"How is this? Does this Princess Bailian's style make you think of something?" Tan Weixin asked with a smile.
After reading the things, Ye Tao put them aside and said, "Aren't they just those inexplicable stars? It's not unreasonable that Princess Bailian can't get married."
Tan Weixin shrugged and said, "When it comes to Dongping, she can't help it. When the bride team is here, she still has to give her some face. When the bride team leaves, hehe, I think she is still arrogant."
In order to show the importance that Chunnan Kingdom attaches to this marriage, the specifications of the bride-sending team sent by Chunnan Kingdom are really a bit confusing. The younger brother of the lord of Chunnan Kingdom, Princess Bailian's uncle, and Juxian Wang Chang Hongquan are the general manager of the bride-sending team. Although the four major countries on the mainland now, Dongping, Xiling, Chunnan and Beiliao have all annexed many of the previously enfeoffed vassal states in the process of formation and development, forming the current pattern, the lords of these four countries did not enfeoff any of themselves in any name, but followed the fining of the unified period.
.Now, there are only two kings in Chunnan. Although the Juxian King's group has never participated in politics and made great influence in Chunnan. Juxian King Chang Hongquan is quite insightful in government affairs. Although he does not do practical work, Chunnan's major decisions over the past ten years have always had important connections with him. He first proposed the marriage with Dongping and the alliance between Dongping and Chunnan in the near future. Chang Hongquan, as the head of the bride mission, is enough to highlight the importance of Chunnan's attention to this marriage.
The lineup of officials accompanying him can also be said to be luxurious. Chunnan Kingdom and Dongping Kingdom have quite different government structures. In Dongping, the daily affairs of government operations are under the responsibility of the six ministries. The four positions of General, Taiwei, Sikong and Situ have no specific tasks, but are assigned the areas of affairs to be responsible according to the situation. In normal times, they serve as the highest aides to provide various decision-making opinions to the king. Once they are in charge, the scope of influence can be determined based on the specific situation. In wartime, the general who is the commander-in-chief of all the troops of Dongping Kingdom can sometimes even
It is above all officials and is only responsible to the Dongping Lord. This strange government structure is probably closely related to the relatively smooth and free political atmosphere of Dongping Kingdom. However, Chunnan Kingdom is different. Chunnan Kingdom has a prosperous ritual and music, and pays much attention to etiquette and law and magnanimity than Dongping. The government structure is roughly the general and prime minister as the supreme commanders of civil and military officers, and the following are the three ministers and six ministries with distinct hierarchies. This time, the ministers of four of the six ministries came with the wise king, which was equivalent to the level of deputy ministers. As for other subordinates, there were dozens of people.
The three thousand troops responsible for the guarding the delegation were led by General Zhu Biao, Annan, and the generals accompanying him were more than one level higher than the officers of the same number of officers. In order to make the delegation look majestic, the guards of these three thousand people were selected from the three most elite Yulin Army, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Black Iron Cavalry. Although Chunnan Kingdom has been in good health for a long time and none of the three thousand people have been on the battlefield, they were selected from elite troops with excellent equipment and good training, and after a month of special etiquette training, the guards of these three thousand people looked really majestic.
In addition to the guards and officials, the first batch of people who followed Princess Bailian and came to Dongping with the delegation also included a considerable number of musicians, dancers, chefs and dim sum masters, tailors, embroiderers, gardeners and other specialists. This was just a preliminary action by Chunnan Kingdom to strengthen "exchange" with Dongping, and it was specially used to serve Princess Bailian and to please Tan Xiaopei, the king of Dongping.
Shortly after the delegation arrived in Danyang, a team of about 500 people, including many jugglers and opera troupes, would come to Danyang. It is said that this was also the idea of Ju Xianwang. In general, Ju Xianwang's idea was quite advanced, and he wanted to turn a marriage ceremony into an economic and cultural exchange activity between the two countries at all levels.
