Chapter 89 Defeated!

Li Xian took the lead in researching Lingshi himself; although there was research on Lingshi in the past, the scale was not large because he really didn't know how to start. In fact, it's not that no one in Xianyu has studied Lingshi, but it obviously failed; that's why there is such a shortage of Lingshi now.

But this time because he found a way to study Lingshi, Li Xian finally expanded his research on Lingshi on a large scale. Li Xian ordered Peng Yongguang, the current person in charge of electricity, to take charge of this project.

It's just that although Li Xian's idea is very good, he still encountered too many problems in the research.

"Master, ordinary materials cannot store spiritual energy. Jade can store spiritual energy, but jade is not strong enough..."

"Use black iron!" Li Xian interrupted the researcher.

The researcher rushed to the black iron branch factory in charge and asked Hu Juncai for ten tons of black iron; then Hu Juncai came to complain—Master, we are not enough.

"Where is it not enough?" Li Xian was very annoyed, why didn't he know how to share his worries and solve his problems, and he had to rely on me to solve them all, you really think of me as a nanny.

Hu Juncai smiled wryly: "Master, the black iron can only produce about 500 kilograms a day. Now the factory is expanding in all aspects, and all the black iron produced every day is not enough to be used as wires. The cement branch is expanding, and the machinery branch is expanding. , The smelting plant is expanding.

In terms of electricity, black iron is not only a superconducting wire, but also a conductor of aura, which is in the most demand.

The rest of the engines, locomotives, and Floating Cloud Island all need black iron.

There is also the arsenal that has just started construction, which also needs a lot of black iron.

Young master, we still need to expand ourselves, so we are really nervous now. "

Li Xian flipped through Hu Juncai's thick account book, and was dazzled; electricity and black iron are now interdependent, and these two departments are also the departments that consume the most black iron. Looking at the rest of the various applications, Li Xian has to admit that the factory is actually tense now; if the research on Lingshi is added, the fragile balance of the entire group will be broken.

"The development is too fast!" Li Xian rubbed his brows with a wry smile; but the spirit stone is really too important, if we can solve the problem of the spirit stone, we can untie the last heavy iron chain tied around the neck of Bright Star Group ,

"A meeting, a meeting! Everyone has a meeting, to sort out the development situation!" In desperation, Li Xian could only hold a meeting; and sent Song Xing to Anyang Mansion, invited Fang Shijing, and everyone brainstormed.

Fang Shijing also had a terrible headache after seeing Song Xing. There are a lot of things in Anyang that have not been dealt with, and there are other things in the group. Helpless, Fang Shijing found Xu Ren, and Xu Ren was the most at ease. When everyone else was too busy to touch the ground, he was drinking tea with Ling Zhifeng.

"You two are so relaxed."

Ling Zhifeng chuckled, "Mr. Fang doesn't know, I just finished divination. Anyang will have a smooth journey in the next year. Great kindness!"

Hearing this, Fang Shijing, who was so busy, became angry: "Dashan, you big-headed ghost! Now I give you a task to continue to search for counselors and scribes from all over the world. We need at least three more counselors here."

"I'm an alchemist, and I only do divination. Don't ask me for other things. Ah, I suddenly have a feeling that I'm going to retreat, don't disturb me." Ling Zhifeng dropped the cup and ran away.

Fang Shijing pointed at Ling Zhifeng's back, trembling with anger: "I hate alchemists the most, these bastards are idle every day."

"But it really can't do without them!" Xu Ren sighed, "Let's just say this time, if Ling Zhifeng hadn't come back to inform, Anyang would have been caught off guard and might even be in danger of breaking the city."

"I know. But I'm really too busy now. The young master has made another breakthrough in the study of Lingshi, and needs more manpower. It's a mess." Fang Shijing talked about the current difficulties. .

The post-war work has not yet been completed, and the purchase of refugees and food in various places has just begun. There are also the promotion and selection of officials, the formulation and implementation of various rules and regulations, and urban planning, transportation construction planning, etc., which overloaded Fang Shijingying. These things add up, don't even think about straightening it out in two years!

After Xu Ren listened quietly, he suddenly sighed, "Brother Fang, we lack a prime minister! In terms of strategy, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone; in governance, you will not lose to anyone. But in handling the overall affairs, Especially when it comes to politics, neither of us is competent.

Little Anyang is even more complicated than the entire Great Xia Kingdom. "

Fang Shijing sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "Mr. Xu, I have never seen a place that develops so fast and beyond imagination.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to do things here; but now I have to admit that I am starting to lose my strength.

It's just that the talent of a prime minister is rare!

It is said that there used to be a country called "Da Ming" in the south, and in the thousands of years of history, there was only one qualified prime minister named Zhang Juzheng. Other countries, even our Great Xia Kingdom, have not had a real prime minister. "

Fang Shijing's judgment made Xu Ren curious, "Oh? Isn't there a Prime Minister Ouyang Wubing in Daxia now?"

Fang Shijing suddenly sneered, "Mr. Xu is a counselor, so he may not pay too much attention to these political matters. In fact, Ouyang Wubing's talent is not enough to be the prime minister. His eyes are always focused on small things, but he is not concerned with major national affairs. In terms of management, but neglected management. In my opinion, Li Yulong has only one-third of the talent of a prime minister."

Xu Ren held the tea and didn't move, and seemed to be caught in some kind of thinking, "Brother Fang, who thinks the Great Xia Kingdom and the surrounding areas of the Great Xia Kingdom are the most capable prime ministers?"

"It is Yan Ze'an of Cai Guo. Cai Guo should have ended decades ago; but Yan Ze'an made Cai Guo look like a revival. I have studied Yan Ze'an, who is unambiguous about small matters and big things. He can always recognize things directly. The essence of it. Unfortunately..."

"Needless to say!" Xu Ren suddenly interrupted Fang Shijing's words, "Yan Ze'an, right? Brother Fang, you should go to Qingyun Valley for a meeting first. I will recruit Yan Ze'an in a month. It just so happens that we are short of a county magistrate."

"Pfft..." Fang Shijing looked at Xu Ren, his tone full of disbelief, "Mr. Xu, you... want to poach Yan Ze'an?"

"Yeah, it's not difficult at all!" Xu Ren suddenly took out his feather fan to play with, and nodded to a person beside him, "Invite Mr. Beichen here."

Fang Shijing left with a full stomach of doubts, and Beichen Yuqing also came with a look of dust; these days, he has been too busy organizing the military. Especially now that the industry is on the right track and showing its power, Beichen Yuqing must also ask you to consider this aspect.

"Mr. Xu is always so laid back." Seeing Fang Shijing waving a feather fan, Beichen Yuqing was so envious.

Xu Ren smiled and was about to speak when suddenly there was an impatient voice outside.

"What's the matter?" Xu Ren asked.

A guard of the Li family who was busy with travel and dust came, "It's Mr. Xu. The master asked me to give this letter to the young master. It's an urgent message."

Xu Ren took the letter, but he couldn't open it at will; instead he asked the guard: "Is there something important?"

"Yes. General Fu Minghui was defeated in the Northern Expedition, and less than 3,000 of the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army escaped back."

"What!" Xu Ren turned pale with shock, stood up all of a sudden, and knocked over the table, teacups and so on. "Thirty thousand elite soldiers of the Royal Forest Army took advantage of the vacancy, how could they fail! Even if they failed, they would not be defeated so badly!"
