Liu Qing's trouble was not only about dealing with complicated government affairs, but also about putting some surprising ideas into practice. Among them, the most surprising thing was that in the past few months when Ye Tao was away, Yunzhou had another bureau-level administrative unit: the Communication Bureau.

The Communications Bureau did not interfere with the original post office affairs, at least not yet. For now, the Communications Bureau is a small institution directly serving the Jingliu Office, mainly to ensure that all external communications of the Jingliu Office can be efficient, safe and fast. At the same time, it also undertakes the work of sorting out and filtering intelligence documents for the Jingliu Office. Due to this responsibility, the Intelligence Bureau's temporary jurisdiction is divided into four departments: southeast, southwest and north. In addition to the East, south, west, and north, these four departments also have their own clerical names, and these four synonyms make Ye Tao not have any other expressions except rolling his eyes.

The synonym for the east is "Nokia"; the southern part is called "Motorola"; the western part is called "Ericsson"; the northern part is called "Aifeng"...

The work of the Communication Bureau is to straighten out the delivery process of various official documents related to the Jingluo Mansion and various departments in Yunzhou. Judging from the situation in the more than a month since its establishment, this small bureau performed quite well. On the one hand, the capable personnel, excellent horses and vehicle resources in the Jingluo Mansion, and on the other hand, it draws various experiences from those transportation companies that have proved efficiency and performance, such as FedEx and DHL Express. Now, the Communication Bureau has accelerated the speed of ordinary official documents to the original level of 400 miles fast, and the most urgent intelligence and official documents have not improved much... After all, no matter how capable the manager is, it is impossible for the Ying'er to fly faster, and can only work hard on the copying of letters, encrypting and decoding of passwords. Now, since different types of passwords are enabled in the four places in the southeast, west and north, there are their own professional decoders. Both security and efficiency have been greatly improved.

What is even more satisfying is that the Communications and Information Bureau has made progress in summarizing and sorting various documents and materials. Although it is still impossible to achieve the level of information that the leaders of the Jingliufu need to obtain quickly, the Communications and Information Bureau has initially demonstrated the ability of a comprehensive document management agency embedded in the Jingliufu in this regard.

"Now, if I say I need the amount of military ordnance output, total tax, etc., how long will it take to get the information?" Ye Tao asked after listening to Liu Qing's introduction.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qing said, "If it is in Ningyuan or Thunder Cliff, it will be about one day. If it is here, the rough number will be four to five days. When the Communications Bureau sends the detailed documents, it will be about twelve to fourteen days."

Ye Tao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That looks very good. Liu Qing, thank you for your hard work these days."

Although Liu Qing seemed a little tired, he could see that his mental state was still very good. He, a polite Liu family, won a lot for the Liu family and his mother. His status is very different now than before, especially in these days, he is almost the hub of the Yunzhou administrative system. If he had not taken over Feng Zi's work and operated the entire Jinglifu Documentary Office. Ye Tao and Feng Zi's departure in the past few months might not have made things that have already made resolutions lag, but due to the lack of efficiency, those fresh ideas would inevitably be unable to be implemented. The Communication Bureau is a good example. Perhaps Liu Qing's work in the past few months has not been creative, but the role he played is indeed solid. With his performance in the past few months, he has completely transformed from the role of Ye Tao and the liaison officer of Qihai Trading Company and became an important part of the Yunzhou administrative system.

Even if he was a little bit tempted by Liu Qing's current status, he felt that Liu Qing was just like the eldest master of the Liu family who had to admit that what Liu Qing could do was something that the Liu family had never thought of. No one who had worked and studied with Ye Tao for many years and mastered Ye Tao's management habits could do. Although Liu Qing's mother, who was not of a good background, did not have to be arrogant, but was just like her usual ordinary and willing attitude, her status in the Liu Mansion was improved clearly. Liu Qing's mother, Yu Shi, now has her own luxurious courtyard and a large group of servants and maids. She treats the same as the big grandmother of the Liu Mansion in monthly money.

As an official in Yunzhou, Liu Qing, who followed Ye Tao to his prominent position step by step, knew that Ye Tao was tolerant and even encouraged to any other personal habits, was a deep hatred of corruption and fraud. Although Liu Qing was doing something that an official with a second-rank third-rank status could do, his temporary rank was only fifth-rank. Fortunately, the official salary in Yunzhou was quite generous. Although he could not give his mother much help in money, he had no problem living comfortably and decent.

The people of Yunzhou saw Liu Qing's diligence and integrity, and the Liu family's business in Yunzhou was supported by locals. Although Liu Qing never deliberately helped the Liu family's industry development, sometimes he often asked to avoid it when there was any interest. However, his image greatly improved everyone's impression of the Liu family. The Liu family, a big businessman, can only be regarded as trying to expand their business in Yunzhou. The achievements made the Liu family quite surprised.

"In the Yunzhou system, it's really hard for you to let you manage such a big business beyond your level. Xin'er and Yun'er are not good at these, but they can only trouble you." Ye Tao encouraged, "However, the situation of power and rank inversion will soon be corrected. Since you are here in Danyang, I will arrange for you to go to the Ministry of Personnel to conduct formal report and evaluation. When you return to Yunzhou, you will also be an important official in the third rank of the official system."

"Sir, hehe, only in Yunzhou can I, a fifth-rank official, manage so many guys with higher ranks than me, and there will be no rebound... You don't know that feeling..." Liu Qing was a little excited, and when he had been with Ye Tao for a long time, he naturally knew that there was no need to be restrained in the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"Is it great?" Ye Tao also heard about Liu Qing's tantrums several times. At those coordination meetings, Liu Qing was not only angry because of the poor performance of several departments, but even pointed at his nose and scolded several officials with a rank above him. "Anyway, if you can do something well, it doesn't matter if you have a rank relationship. At least... as long as I am in Yunzhou, it's like this. But it should be the honor and status you enjoy, and I will definitely give it to you."

"Yes!" Liu Qing bowed with his fists, and a strong emotion surged in his heart. He and Feng Zi were different. Feng Zi were Ye Tao's personal counselor to a greater extent, helping him analyze and understand various complex situations. He was the role of a wise man; while Liu Qing was a capable official. It has always seemed that the person who was capable official was not valued much, even in the Dongping Dynasty, this was actually the case. Situ Huang Xuping was a strategist, a wise man. He only began to gradually learn government affairs and manage government affairs after he ascended to one of the three official positions of Situ.

Even today, everyone will regard him as a capable minister and forget his dazzling image of wisdom and tricks back then. However, in Yunzhou, this seems to be different. Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun and others do attach importance to strategists, staff members, and staff members, but they will not let such people do things that are not good at or not, and will not let strategists waste their imaginations in trivial daily affairs, but they will not let those capable officials who have extremely coordinated and handle things that can make things run smoothly and forcefully do things that they are not good at.

"Sir, in another month, those wool textiles will be launched one after another. When you return to Yunzhou, you will probably see the fields in southern Yunzhou for harvesting. Some old farmers said that although the year is not particularly good this year, water conservancy dredging is effective, and deep cultivation and insect removal and fertilization can be achieved. The harvest this year may not be less than the average harvest. Next year, everyone is familiar with this practice and sees benefits. The harvest may be better. The news on the ranch is also very gratifying. The number and quality of young animals bred this summer is also very good. With the operation of the Bureau of Commerce and Trade, so many merchants have brought the funds, manpower and demand... This year, it is estimated that by the end of the year, the total tax on Yunzhou will increase by 40% to 60% year-on-year."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It seems that Yunzhou Jinglifu can pay me back the money next year."

"It should be possible." Liu Qing responded with a smile.

There are too many things that need to invest in Yunzhou to build, and the original deposit and Yunzhou Development Fund cannot withstand large expenses and cannot maintain huge capital flows. In this case, Ye Tao himself took out a large amount of money to build the world's leading factory in Yunzhou: the Yunzhou branch of Ye's Workshop. That's not to mention that he and Tan Weixin also joined forces to lend a considerable amount of funds to Yunzhou Jinglifu in the name of private interest... If you don't get money from your position, you may have no precedent in the whole world.

When encountering such a thing, there will naturally be people saying strange things. After all, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin immediately took out more than 10 million taels of silver, which is an amazing amount of money. It is impossible to speculate whether these two people are competing for the hearts of the people. However, in fact, this discussion only stays among a very small number of insiders. Only a few people in Yunzhou and Dongping know about this. Most ordinary people and officials only regard it as the court's preparations and spares no effort to develop Yunzhou...

Ye Tao is not short of that amount of money, and Tan Weixin will not take the money she earned by the inner mansion too seriously.

This money injected into Yunzhou was originally a relatively moderate way to strengthen the royal family's control over Yunzhou, and it was also an attempt to master a region and a piece of land through capital and investment. These ideas were discussed between Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Tan Weiming and even several important officials. Ye Tao and the inner palace invested more than just the more than 10 million taels of silver directly invested in the Jinglifu?

Many businesses under the inner government entered Yunzhou. Ye's Workshop built the largest and most comprehensive workshop in Yunzhou, and even set up the research and development of various products around Yunzhou's various unique properties. Ye Tao has even decided to concentrate glass production in Yunzhou, just to meet the needs of the entire Middle-earth continent. Compared with Ye Tao's workplace that started and has developed to this point, which has both strong technical capabilities and strong symbolic meanings associated with Ye Tao, Ye Tao also spent a lot of money, and the Gray Goose Winery, which has already started to make a profit, is simply a toy.

These direct trade behaviors are not counted. In the Yunzhou Development Fund organized by Tan Weixin, the funds directly invested or organized by Ye Tao in various names accounted for more than one-third of the total principal. If a total of the funds were counted, the total value of various undertakings, investments, and industries that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin could operate in the hands of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, the total value of various undertakings, investments, and industries that could be operated shall not be less than 50 million taels of silver, at least half of which are Ye Tao and Tan Weixin who have complete rights.

Many people in the Dai family discovered that Dongping had greatly strengthened its ties with Yunzhou in this way, and this connection could still produce benefits. However, the Dai family did not prevent Dongping funds from entering Yunzhou in this very functional posture, but instead he also got involved. At the beginning, Dai Yun, a guy who was focused on military construction, had not realized it much. Until she married Ye Tao, she gradually realized the means of Tan Weixin operating funds and commercial projects, and after listening to Tan Weixin, she did not hide it.

After the commentary, she began to realize that silver could play a role in this and that. However, she didn't think anything was wrong. If she were the king of Dongping, she would probably not have used Yunzhou as a test field like Tan Xiaopei, and let Ye Tao and Tan Weixin run it. She believed that she did not have such confidence, ambition and courage, and she would probably try every means to take all the military strength of Yunzhou into her own hands. Then slowly change the situation of Yunzhou's strong army and weak government. Using economic means to strengthen control is too gentle and too indulgent.

After knowing these measures, Dai Yun could not have any resistant thoughts. Perhaps she had an understanding of Tan Weixin's method that seemed to be able to transform the flow of funds into a gorgeous dance. She just talked with several elders once, and then continuously pulled funds from the deposits in the Dai family and sent out powerful Dai children, and integrated them into Tan Weixin and Ye Tao's management system. In this way, the joint political, military and economic ruling system of Tan, Dai and Ye. The three families of Tan, Dai and Ye have been completely stabilized in Yunzhou.

In Yunzhou, the combination of these three local forces not only made Yunzhou's ruler very different from the original ruling methods of the four Middle-earth countries, but also made this method integrate many local factors in Yunzhou and became almost unshakable. Apart from Ye Tao, no one could tell the entire military, political and economic forces under the rule of the Yunzhou Legal Prefecture.

Although Tan Xiaopei was constantly reminded and warned, Tan Xiaopei also saw it clearly. This was the situation he caused by one hand, and this was the result he hoped to see. He trusted his daughter. His son also trusted Ye Tao.

Ye Tao spent a few days after returning to Danyang to read all the documents brought by Liu Qing, and then devoted himself to fighting the exquisite conception and precision craftsmanship with Zanglong Chain. As a world-famous craftsman and a craftsman who has dispersed a lot of energy due to government affairs, for Ye Tao, the work of cracking Zanglong Chain is like an extremely interesting intellectual game, which is exciting.

Since the arrival of Danyang, the Zanglong box has been placed in the Imperial Army Governor's Mansion, which is connected to the royal palace, and has been newly built and has not yet been put into use. This exercise hall was learned from the Blood Qi army, and is used to perform war chess and cultivate the officers' combat and strategic conception capabilities. However, the construction of the hall is simple, but it takes more time to equip this hall, which is more than twice as large as the hall used for the Blood Qi army, with a full set of sand tables of appropriate size. Therefore, the hall is idle and has not been put into use for a long time.

The Zanglong box has always been placed on the workbench in the middle of the hall. It is no longer safer to hide the Zanglong box anywhere than in the public eye of the imperial guards day and night. There are several tool boxes on the workbench and around the workbench. Ye Tao could tell at a glance that some of them were moved from his studio in Danyang. Around the workbench, there were long tables on both sides connected into arcs. They were piled with various documents and materials. This hall is now the center for researching Zanglong box in various aspects.

"Have you figured out the structure of the Zanglong Box now?" Ye Tao asked Suo Yong while looking at the Zanglong Box carefully, comparing the patterns drawn by others and the structural diagrams compiled according to various materials.

These days, Suo Yong has come here to study this thing a lot. As the second senior brother of Ye’s workshop, there is no doubt that his skills and various exquisite ideas in his mind are all there, but what he shows most is not his skills but his outstanding management ability. This time, Suo Yong regards the Zanglong box as an opportunity to verify his abilities, and his efforts are really a lot.

"...How is that possible? Now at best, I understand the mechanisms that prevent others from breaking the box. What makes people feel the most headache is the double box shell, and I don't know what liquid is hidden in the interlayer. If I break the box and touch this, I don't know what will happen." Suo Yong shrugged, and this expression showed no sign of how worried he was.

"Senior brother, this... if it were just like this, you would have done it long ago." Ye Tao said with a smile.

"Hehe, the easiest way is to work hard directly from the shell, drill holes, and then pull out the liquid inside. Then gradually peel off the two shells. Although this is a bit complicated, it is the safest way. Although things like Zanglong Box have put a lot of effort into the lock core, the material itself is not too strong. Although it looks like gold and non-stone, it is more special, but it is just a material quenched from meteorite fragments. These days, some things have been taken out in the palace to compare. Although the hardness of the material is high, it is compared to our current diamond tungsten steel

The drill bit is nothing, at most it is progressing slower. But what I am worried about is that after this, the box is opened and the things inside should be pretty good, but this famous Zanglong box can't be broken into 17 or 18 pieces. Does it seem that the methods of my Ye Family Workshop are a bit of a pity?" Suo Yong said in a leisurely manner and added: "A few days ago, I told Your Majesty that His Majesty did not object to the removal of the box, but the regret was beyond words, saying that he would wait for you to come back. If you can not remove the box, that would be the best."

Ye Tao thought about it carefully and said, "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Suo Yong nodded, picked up a drawing, slid his fingers on the surface of the drawing, and said, "Look... this is based on various situations. At present, the structure of this Zanglong box is summarized. In the workshop, I even asked my technicians to copy some of it according to this structural diagram. It is mainly used to test various cracking methods. If I use the direct cracking method just now, although I don't know the specific structure of Zanglong box, there is still a way to crack similar things. At least I did it in the workshop. And Zanglong box may indeed be indestructible back then, but it is not now. At least, over the years, some parts of Zanglong box have not been very reliable."

Suo Yong clicked on the picture and asked Ye Tao to pay attention. "Look here, this should be the key's spring position. I tried it with a probe. There is only a small lever inside. It is this lever, which is connected to a small timing device. When the key is started for the first round, the timing device will take effect. If the second lock of the inner core is not opened within a certain period of time, the second key hole will be closed, and a small thrust will be generated to just exit the key." Suo Yong's tone was a little excited: "If it is really unlocked, the setting of this small mechanism alone will be a headache, but this small mechanism is not effective now. I think, directly pour glue or grease, completely paste the mechanism, and prevent it from taking effect. In this way, no matter how it is cracked, at least the time will not be limited."
