Chapter 72 Lecture

Ye Tao was increasingly eager to divide himself into two or even more to deal with increasingly tedious affairs. Even though several senior brothers had already helped him block so many things, even though Sophie was more and more skillful in dealing with a lot of paperwork for him, even though Lu Dan had almost become the most arrogant general in Danyang to help him smooth out many problems that did not need to come forward in person, there were still so many things. Especially, after nearly a month away from Danyang, he was in Yicheng's current bell tower plan that is now attracting attention.

Although most of the wealthy households in Danyang are based in traditional industries such as agriculture, department stores, knitted textile silk, jewelry and luxury goods, woodblock printing, etc., or because of the military manufacturing and supporting product industries linked to the "government procurement" of the Dongping military and government, they are not as outgoing and aggressive as the maritime business group in Yicheng, but the accumulation of wealth has lasted for several generations, or even more than ten generations, and the foundation is so deep that it is not comparable to the maritime businessmen like Qi Zhentao. In Yicheng, Qihai Merchant Company was vigorously set up, forming a business group with national financial resources and influence, and it was immediately established that once it was built, it was undoubtedly the naming right of the bell tower of the world's tallest building, and the merchants in Danyang could not sit still.

Two days after returning to Danyang, Ye Tao was solemnly asked about the possibility of building a higher bell tower in Danyang at a banquet initiated by several large families in Danyang. In a vague manner, Ye Tao heard a consortium called "Jiuzhou Trading Company" in preparation. Behind this outrageously powerful consortium, there was a vague shadow of the Dongping court... perhaps the shadow of Tan Weixin, who represents the inner palace.

After years of cooperation, Dai Yuege, who has been completely cured by his appetite, has become the most technical developer, construction team, supervision company, sales company and even property management company, has keenly smelled the scent of such a grand project. On the one hand, he has actively trained engineering teams that are competent for general engineering, and while drawing many old friends and elite generals from Dai's Construction Bank to study Ye Tao's sketches and models, and began the early technical research and technical preparation...

With unknown mediation, the wealthy families in Danyang and the sea merchants in Yicheng reached an agreement: the bell tower in Yicheng can be lower than those built in Danyang, but the bell tower in Yicheng must be built more than half a year earlier than the bell tower in Danyang.

This agreement was reached without Ye Tao's participation. The rich people from both places who had already prepared huge amounts of construction funds completely ignored Ye Tao's opinions this time.

Damn, I don't exist! Ye Tao, who smiled bitterly, wanted to curse. For landmark buildings in both places at the same time and continuously refreshing the record of the highest building in this era, it is an irresistible opportunity for any designer and architect. However, you must know that now, except for the Daiyue Pavilion Dai's Construction Bank, which was trained and armed by Ye Tao and Ye's workshop for several years, no manufacturer in the world can undertake such a project. Even the boss of Daiyue Pavilion can concentrate his elite forces to ensure the project in one place. Of course, after successively constructing such difficult projects, he now attaches great importance to technical reserves and personnel training.

Dai Yue Pavilion can cultivate a large number of talents with specialized talents in engineering technology and engineering management, but that will happen a long time later. Even if all technical difficulties do not exist now, prefabricated parts of cast iron, special floor tiles and other materials are constantly being supplied. Even if the construction project started from pile driving now, even if the human resources are abundant as an ant sea, according to Ye Tao's estimate, in less than a year and a half, the bell tower in Yicheng will not be initially built. And Danyang? Don't say that you will give it another half a year. Don't think about it for more than a year. The technical difficulty of a 280-foot tower is already quite terrifying. If you want to go up to the level, God knows how many problems will arise.

Make it! Why not make it?! Facing the spirit of Ye Tao, who waved silver notes and said nothing, was afraid that Ye Tao would not agree. Ye Tao also held up a lot of energy.

Therefore, on the one hand, Ye Tao arranged for Dai Yuege's subordinates to go to the workshop to work with Guan Haishan and others to carry out technical research. On the other hand, according to the original specifications of the land building in Yicheng, he also held a grand briefing meeting to explain the functions of the bell tower, the difficulty of construction, budget, and extremely critical time arrangements to the wealthy people and local officials in the area where they are interested in investment. After Ye Tao's explanation, it was finally determined that the construction of the Yicheng bell tower was started a month and a half later, and a year later. The approximate time for the Danyang bell tower to start construction.

Didn’t I ask I to create the two towers of this era? Okay, I will create Isinger. Ye Tao was so cruel that he really made the general design of the Danyang Bell Tower based on Tan Weixin’s sketch. Although after modification, the appearance of the Danyang Bell Tower is not as sharp and arrogant as Aisinger in the movie "The Lord of the Rings", it is inevitable to show its sharpness. The most attractive thing is that the Danyang Bell Tower has a viewing platform more than 260 feet high. While drawing the sketch, Ye Tao’s mind was thinking about the scene of Gordolf jumping off the tall tower and being carried away by the vultures...

Just when the matter of the two bell towers and towers was settled, the two armies' review mansions officially moved to the west of Danyang City to make all the builders of this era stunned. The high-standard roads starting from the west gate of Danyang will be divided into three fronts in front of the barracks, leading to the two satellite towns in Tiecheng and Danyang. This barracks actually bear the responsibility of assisting the defense of Danyang and supporting the two satellite towns nearby.

This huge barrack that can actually accommodate about 10,000 people has taken into account the ubiquitous competition between the Bloody Army and the Fire Qi Army since its construction. Whether it is the soldier barracks, officer dormitories, canteens, training grounds, stables, armorys, or any facilities with the same function must have a sufficient distance. It is far enough for two armies of different styles to carry out their daily affairs without being affected by the other party, but it is so close that both sides can definitely see each other's detailed actions, so as to judge whether they are doing well or not.

In the middle of the camp with such a delicate arrangement, it is a building used to perform chess deductions on the actual map. The building refers to the design of the chess building, but considering that the deduction may involve three or even more parties, there are five independent game rooms, an extremely huge workshop for staff who handle chess and combat information, a public lecture hall and an expert research hall. Since the chess deductions performed here must occur between professionals and quasi-professionals. There is no need to consider the stage effect, but the battle situation needs to be presented most intuitively. The public lecture hall here is designed as a rotunda with huge tables for placing sand tables or maps in the middle.

, and there were stair-shaped seats rising step by step. When Ye Tao saw this lecture hall, what he had originally thought was not the image of the conference hall or theater, but felt that it was a bit like an Eastern-style ancient Roman senate. Especially the location settings of the presenter and referee were clearly the consul and the civilian official... However, when asked Guan Haishan, the senior brother in charge of building the barracks, he found that there was no instructing Tan Weixin behind this, it was actually several senior soldiers and a group of young officers in the army formed a general idea based on their understanding of the strategy of marching chess and the needs of the deduction of the two armies, and then asked Guan Haishan to design and build it.

This world... is indeed very talented. Ye Tao could almost imagine how Tan Weixin smiled so hard that she beat her chest and stamped her feet when she knew such a design, and how she could make herself linger on the edge of life and death...

The two armies have moved into the barracks where the paint smell has not completely dissipated. Of course, there is no problem with formaldehyde concentration in this era. All paints are pure natural materials and do not affect health much. Daily training has also been carried out under the guidance of Dai Yun, Qiu Haohui, as well as many supervisors and adjutants, under the leadership of intern officers.

Now, the Blood Army and the Fire Qi Army implement parallel strategies for training and learning. Every morning, each hour of queues and physical training is conducted, followed by an hour of special subject training. The afternoon is given to the trainees to master the soldiers. They can put the soldiers on the spot and let them rest, or organize training. Internal competitions, sports and chess competitions are organized. The officers and trainees who are fine will arrange lectures every two days.

These lectures were carefully selected. Some invited veterans who were active or retired in the army to explain the war history, while others found various specialized officers and sergeants to explain various basic knowledge related to military affairs, marching organization, camp construction, topographic surveying, military geography and military meteorology, etc. Although there was no detailed discipline system support in this era, they had already had preliminary division of labor and professional talents, especially those who were proficient in topographic surveying and mapping in the army.

The officers in the land are usually hidden for fear of something happening or being assassinated by the enemy country. They can teach these rookies on this occasion. The Ministry of War and General Zhuo Mang and others have all made great efforts. In addition to their professional knowledge in military affairs, they also have content related to chess battles, such as basic mathematics, etc. Although the guys in the Yizhan Building have not studied mathematics deeply, they only talk about the relevant parts of chess battles. Like Suo Zheng and others, they are still competent.

At the beginning, everyone disagreed with this kind of arrangement that was somewhat similar to reading. But after the lectures were held several times, not only the trainee officers who were asked to attend the lectures would inevitably come unless something big happened, but the officers and non-commissioned officers who were not required to attend the lectures also asked to attend the lectures. Although these people were retired from the army, their desire for military knowledge was no worse than those trainee officers who were passionate about their passion. They were eager to win.

Li's desire for the battlefield was even stronger. When the lecture reached the tenth and eleventh time, the proportion of trainee officers participating in the lecture and the proportion of retired officers had reached 6 to 4. There were even many imperial guards, the city defense force and the foreign officers who temporarily stationed in Danyang in accordance with the principle of remote defense in Dongping tried every possible way to listen, so that the seats of the lecture became a reward for commending soldiers who performed well in the army... and everyone's requirements for the content of the lecture were getting higher and higher.

"Where is Ye Tao? Let him give a lecture!" People from unknown aspects first came up with this idea, and then responded in groups. As the creator of the marching chess and chess tower, as the actual manager of the two armies' review office and the fierce blood army, Ye Tao had no reason to refuse and retreat.
