Chang Huaiyin and Sun Jin did not feel any disgust about Ye Tao putting them on Thunder Cliff and waiting for nearly ten days, but the old manager who had gone to Ye's workshop to promote his career was quite complaining. In the eyes of this old manager named Chang Zeng, family background is everything. Although Ye Tao was the governor of Yunzhou, his family background was slightly cold, let alone compared with the family background of a noble family like the Chang family. It was even more unreasonable that he actually dared to throw Princess Chang Huaiyin's honorary person aside and wait and do the work of those craftsmen with low status by himself.

Chang Huaiyin couldn't like his old manager, but he worked for the Chang family all his life and had a high status among servants. He could only listen to some things even if he felt it was unreasonable and wouldn't say anything. Sun Jin himself was one of the poor people who were despised by Chang Zeng, and he usually had nothing to say to Chang Zeng.

Although Ye Tao had to let Chang Huaiyin and Sun Jin wait, he never neglected them. Thunder Cliff has now become the most important operation hub in central Yunzhou, and the conditions in all aspects are quite good. The Jinglifu and the Dai family have also arranged various visits and tours for Chang Huaiyin and Sun Jin and even their two children, especially a pair of newborn lambs given to their daughter Sun Yueer, and a pair of beagles given to their infant son Sun Tingxuan, which made Chang Huaiyin, who was already a woman but still had a little childlike heart, very loved.

When Ye Tao finally arrived at Thunder Cliff, almost all senior officials and middle- and senior military officers in Yunzhou also arrived. On the one hand, they wanted to discuss the abnormal movements and response measures of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and on the other hand, they also arranged work for the time when Ye Tao left.

Since Dai Yun and Tan Weixin did not leave Yunzhou with Ye Tao this time, with them, most of the things can be assured. This meeting just explains some issues clearly and determines guiding principles for various tasks to avoid possible differences in future local affairs.

After reading the reports sent one after another, Dai Yun said that the Northern Liao side should have no intention of launching an attack in the short term. It is recommended to take active defense against the Northern Liao side, maintain restraint, and try to avoid large-scale engagement and gain recognition. There are indeed many young officers in the Yunzhou military. They are energetic, courage and ambitions, but they also have enough ability and rationality to determine when and when is not suitable for combat. Everyone expressed their support for Dai Yun’s statement.

The second is the construction and development of Yunzhou's economy and people's livelihood. Ye Tao is even more worried about this. He did not interfere with Tan Weixin's ideas and did not occupy a lot of her time to chat. The main reason is that he was not always careful and was restrained there. Tan Weixin may be able to use her abilities more. Perhaps sometimes some of her actions will be more radical and fierce, but with Tan Weixin's intelligence, she will naturally keep these things in a relatively normal range. Any moves that Tan Weixin let go of her hands and feet when Ye Tao is away should not be attacked by anyone in the court. No one is so stupid.

Compared with the economy, people's livelihood is more complicated. Tan Weixin will naturally leave enough resources for this part of the matter, but how to fully use these resources and achieve the greatest effect is a arduous and cumbersome project. After some discussion, we decided to establish two new local departments, which are directly affiliated with the Jinglifu, namely the Civil Affairs Department 1 and the Civil Affairs Department 2.

The Civil Affairs Department 1 is mainly responsible for the renovation of houses, road construction, urban maintenance, villages and towns, farmland and water conservancy repair, etc., and has a small part of the business of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Bureau, the Commerce and Trade Bureau of the Manufacturing Bureau, but it is more comprehensive. It is a platform for communicating the construction work between the two parties and even multiple parties. It is a department closely related to the daily lives of ordinary people in Yunzhou. The Civil Affairs Department 2 is just the opposite. Although it is also related to people's livelihood, their affairs are disaster preparation and emergency response. If Yunzhou has good weather, they have no intersection with the lives of the people.

Their job is to silently hoard food, medicine and other basic daily necessities, prepare various plans for climate disasters such as insect disasters, plagues, snow disasters, and prepare relevant tools to make relevant personnel ready at any time. The only thing that the Second Civil Affairs Department may often appear in front of ordinary people is probably the firefighting teams they will soon establish in various towns in Yunzhou. In the future, the common people will be happy to see people from the First Civil Affairs Department, and will be very unhappy to see people from the Second Civil Affairs Department. Meeting people from the Second Civil Affairs Department often means that bad things have already happened.

However, perhaps the people in the second place may not be so depressed, because there are even more unpopular Civil Affairs Departments. The Civil Affairs Departments are the internal affairs organizations of Yunzhou. They are the "Independent Commission Against Corruption Office" of Yunzhou, responsible for supervising and reviewing officials and all running projects in Yunzhou. They are only responsible for Yunzhou's strategic commander. If you meet the people in the third place, it means that no matter whether good or bad things happen to you or you, there will be problems.

Governing Yunzhou is a difficult and not interesting task at all, but something extremely interesting for Ye Tao has to start in his absence. That is the new city that will be built in Yunzhou.

The final selected location of the new city is east of Xuelang Lake, which forms a standard equilateral triangle with the current location of Ye's workshop and the Tianling Fort of Dai's family on the map. The first thing to choose is that this location can meet all the functional positioning of the new city. Whether in terms of transportation, geological and hydrological conditions, the location is ideal. Once the new city is built and it begins to gather a certain popularity, Yunzhou will basically form a circle surrounding Xuelang Lake, with Thunder Cliff, Ningyuan, Suiyuan and Xincheng as the fulcrum, becoming the center of gravity of the entire Yunzhou, whether in terms of military power or material transportation, it is quite convenient. But in the end, Ye Tao made up his mind to build a new city here, and the most fundamental reason is that this location has extremely unique landform characteristics, which reminds him of a magnificent and gorgeous city in his memory, which makes people feel excited every time he thinks of it.

The design sketch has been made, and Ye Tao used a pencil to outline the lines on the paper to depict an unprecedented city. And the characteristics that Ye Tao needs to have in the new cities listed in the design plan are even more so that the first group of people who can see the sketch always have the urge to pinch themselves to see if it is real.

After the site selection was completed, a large number of personnel from Jingliuofu and Ye’s Workshop had begun to conduct detailed exploration of this site and surrounding areas. Since this land had no owner, even the matter of negotiating and purchasing land was discussed, farmers or herders who spontaneously farmed in the land or would grazed here from time to time would receive some compensation. Those farmers became the first batch of workers recruited by the Xincheng project team and began to prepare for the preliminary preparations. Two roads, one south and one north, have begun to extend from Tianling Fort and Ye’s Workshop to the new city’s site selection. All quarries and logging farms inside and outside Yunzhou have received large orders.

In addition, another thing that will make Ye Tao feel very fun, and now I am afraid that only the results can be seen is that the Ye Family Workshop spent 2 million taels to expand the Ye Family Research Institute with Ye Tao’s current studio as the core. This is the first professional institution in this era that aims to develop science and technology and transform technology into specific products. The original task of this institution was to place the glass craftsmen and alchemists sent by the Samir family, comprehensively consider Ye Tao’s idea of ​​developing technology and the original working habits of the alchemists and glass craftsmen, and make full use of the existing technology of the Ye Family Workshop to form two departments with considerable R&D capabilities in as short as possible.

The general structure of those research rooms is no different from the factory. The only difference is that the interior space is more spacious, and various equipment is arranged not according to the needs of production efficiency but according to the needs of research... If Ye Tao could stay in Yunzhou to personally handle various affairs of the research institute, which was basically set up for him alone, and to conduct relevant projects research as soon as possible, then he would be very happy. However, now it seems that when he returns to Yunzhou, the first batch of glass products in Ye's workshop will probably have been offline. Without Ye Tao's active intervention, in the absence of these time, this chemical laboratory based on an alchemist based on an alchemist who joined the already developed dyeing and finishing workshop of Ye's workshop, which could produce something or make up some troubles, Ye Tao was completely unsure. To be honest, he is now tired of this feeling of not being able to control everything in his hands than ever before. Especially these tasks seem to be only done by him.

After implementing this series of arrangements in Yunzhou, Ye Tao took Dai Qiuyan and Sophie to set out on the itinerary to Danyang and then set out from Danyang to Chunnan.

In addition to the first time he came to Danyang, Ye Tao always encounters a stronger welcome lineup every time he returns to Danyang. There is indeed the reason why Ye Tao's status is growing, but Ye Tao himself is more willing to understand it as the kindness and enthusiasm of his friends. Perhaps it is just a self-deception, but for Ye Tao, who longs for indifferentness, this is quite effective. This time, Ye Tao is not very worried that the status of the person who welcomes him will be too high. After all, Tan Weiran has been left in Yunzhou by him, and he is not there.

At that time, he was the prince's honor to serve as the power of Yunzhou. Although Tan Weiran's agent would inevitably be undermined by Tan Weixin and Dai Yun in both military and political aspects, both the General Administration and Tan Weiran themselves knew it. This kind of agent was far more important than his political strategy. It was a normal thing to be undermined by him. In the world, Tan Weiran had to work hard to manage Jing Yunqi, so that he would not have time to worry about the complicated local affairs of Yunzhou.

Since Tan Weiran could not appear in the team that welcomed Ye Tao, Ye Tao was very calm. If it were normal, Tan Weiming might run out excitedly, but now the Chunnan delegation and the Chunnan Imperial Army who came to welcome Concubine Lian were stationed in Danyang. As the prince, he must be reserved. As for the other friends in Danyang who came to welcome him, no matter who it was, Ye Tao would not feel too embarrassed or too grand.

Ye Tao's expectations were indeed correct. The current governor of the Blood Qi Army Zou Shuangwen. The frightening military flag was unfolding on both sides of the road. The soldiers of the Blood Qi Army, especially the veterans and senior officers, respect for Ye Tao, were obviously reflected on their faces.

"Brother Zou, long time no see. This year's recruits are well-trained." Ye Tao and Zou Shuangwen immediately patted each other's shoulders. Looking at the ejection stamps of the soldiers around him, Ye Tao sincerely congratulated him.

"It's really a long time no see. You don't want Suo Zheng to come back and gather with everyone. We've arranged an interesting show this time." Zou Shuangwen squeezed his eyes at the carriage that followed Chang Huaiyin and his team, implying that some incidents would probably arise between the Blood Qi Army and the Chunnan Imperial Army, and just waited for Ye Tao to come back and join in the fun.

Ye Tao smiled knowingly and said, "It's my fault. It's too late for a long time. I won't be able to stay in Danyang for a few days before I set off again." He lowered his voice and asked, "No delay, right?"

Zou Shuangwen shrugged and said with a smile: "Anyway, you're just waiting to see. We... are very cognitive and will definitely not miss the itinerary of Concubine Lian."

Ye Tao nodded and was very interested, but Zou Shuangwen suddenly said, "But... Ye Zhengluo, some things need to be reminded of you. Now in Danyang, there are some people who are dissatisfied with you. Be careful and don't be ignorant."

Ye Tao was stunned and asked, "Who is that? No one sounded like someone said it. Could it be..."

Zou Shuangwen has heard of the fact that the Tan family and Ye Tao always maintain high-frequency contact and constantly exchange various situations. Although Ye Tao is in Yunzhou, he knows all kinds of personnel changes, various court topics, various open struggles and hidden undercurrents in Danyang, even more than many people in Danyang. Zou Shuangwen smiled strangely and said, "Your Majesty will definitely not tell you these things."
