"Northern Industrial Base..."
He Yue sorted out her thoughts a bit, and replied:
"The school has been officially separated from the base. It is now called Yuxi Academy. The contents of the professors cover science, military, political economy, and literature. Later, we plan to open law and medical treatment as planned, but we have not recruited for these two areas at present. To the right teacher. In addition, while you were away, the gunpowder test was successful, and the incendiary bomb was separated from the devil's blood."
Fang Shisan took over the conversation and added:
"The new weapons are already being used by soldiers. They can be put into the battlefield initially, but it will take some time to use them proficiently. The effect is very good, especially when fighting ambushes and defending the city. It is better than rolling stones and falling trees in the traditional sense Much, much stronger."
At present, gunpowder is still not as convenient as magic, because the research of guns and artillery is still very backward. But the number of magicians is very small after all, and it is impossible to place one in every city. Even ordinary people can use gunpowder and incendiary bombs, which are much stronger than magic in terms of popularity.
Fang Shisan saw these advantages very clearly, so she was most concerned about the inventions and creations of the northern industrial base, and would go there every now and then to ask if there was any new progress.
But objectively speaking, both magic and sword skills have raised the upper limit of personal force to a considerable extent. It is unrealistic to sweep the world by developing a little black technology. Therefore, Li De's view has always been to cultivate both internally and externally and develop in an all-round way. Both technology and magic must be grasped and both hands must be hard.
After hearing He Yue and Fang Shisan's report, Li De frowned slightly:
"Slower than expected... Who is the person in charge of the northern industrial base now?"
"There is no general manager for the time being. The more active one is Hanmo. He is very interested in various researches, but his main focus is on the research on demons."
"That's an expert in biology. Don't always transfer people around. Although science pays attention to integration, in most cases, it still needs to study hard in a fixed field. What's more, let research-oriented talents do management. It's also a waste."
Lide touched his chin and thought for a while, clicked his tongue, and added:
"It's a pity. I found a good candidate on this trip to the north, but it's a pity that I didn't dig."
He Yue raised her eyebrows:
"Oh? There are still walls in the world that you can't dig?"
Lid sighed and said:
"Vice General Yuewei, Zhan Mei, is very curious, thirsty for knowledge, and has management experience. He should have been the most suitable choice. It's a pity that Lord Lingwu was watching from the side, and I didn't have a chance to shovel..."
He Yue smiled and said:
"Yuewei's deputy general, it's hard to give in to our Yuxi City. Although it's a pity, Anbu is also looking for potential newcomers, maybe we can find some suitable candidates."
Shuang bowed to Li De Yingying, and said softly:
"The little girl has arranged for someone to look for it, but... haven't found it for the time being. We will try our best to invest more power in the future, and we will definitely bring her to the city lord as soon as possible."
Lide nodded, and didn't blame her. So far, Anbu has sent many high-quality students to Yuxi Academy. Most of those children are talented but have no money to study. Although it is the first time in their lives to learn about mathematics, physics and chemistry, the theoretical system in Yuxi City itself is relatively complete. Under the circumstances, they generally learn fairly easily.
But the managers of the northern industrial base can't choose that way. Most of those who can study scientific research are children from poor families, who are not good at management; most of those who are good at management are children from rich families, and they have little interest in decades of research. It is normal for Shuang to find no one for a while.
Lide asked He Yue:
"Over at Yuxi Academy, how is Uncle Cheng managing it?"
He Yue nodded, and praised a few words without hesitation:
"Very good. He used to be a minister of the elves. He is old and knowledgeable, and he has a good ability to nourish himself. Yuxi Academy is now contending with a hundred schools of thought. What is needed is not someone with advanced thinking and radical behavior, but a strict and knowledgeable character like him. A broad-minded person. Uncle Cheng can balance the forces of all parties and manage the school in an orderly manner."
Lid breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems that there is no need to worry too much. Yunye, it's the first time you report to me. Don't be nervous, just talk about the diplomacy you presided over."
He Yue, Fang Shisan and Shuang straightened their bodies and raised their heads at the same time.
This is the top priority right now.
Yun Ye took a step forward. She looked a little stage frighted even though she hadn't been drinking, but she still mustered up her courage and said:
"The external alliance is almost done. Although there are fewer territories willing to form an alliance than expected, an alliance has finally been formed. Afterwards, as long as there are interests to drive, more people will join us. Internally, we will contact There are quite a few city lords, they are all very interested in the position of the son of Yunyang, and it is estimated that they will soon quarrel with the lord of Yunyang."
Lid tapped his knee lightly with his hand and said:
"Lord Yunyang will not change his son. If he is forced to change his son today, he may be kicked out tomorrow. Even if he himself is tired of my eldest brother, he will not change at this time."
Yun Ye nodded and said:
"We think so too... so there will definitely be a fight. Yuxi City is currently the most powerful party, and many people hope to use our power to threaten Lord Yunyang, let them sit in the position of the son of Yunyang, and then use Yunyang Yang Shizi's identity will be repaired with us, and we will become a family again."
The corner of Lid's mouth ticked upwards:
"Is that what they think?"
Yunye nodded:
"Yes. In the eyes of many people, since Lord Yunyang has severed the father-son relationship with Lord City Lord, then Lord City Lord can no longer justifiably take over Yunyang. Even if he chooses a puppet, he will definitely choose from among them, and many of them , for the position of a puppet lord, you can willingly cooperate with us."
Lid blew away the tea leaves in the teacup, and returned the cup to Alaya.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Ye and He Yue exchanged glances, and finally Yun Ye asked cautiously:
"My lord... what do you think?"
Li De raised his head and looked at the senior officials of Yuxi City present. These are the people closest to him in this world, and they are all looking at him at the moment. Even Fang Shisan, who had his eyes closed, lightly clenched the hem of his skirt, waiting for his answer.
Lied smiled and said:
"Do you still need to ask?"
He stood up from the chair, walked to the bed, and looked east:
"If Yuxi City wants to develop and grow stronger, it must expand its borders, accommodate more people, and absorb more talents. Then we will spread our successful practice, and get rich first and then get rich. Everyone, come to Yuxi City. Xicheng has its own dreams in its chest. To realize them, it needs a stronger force and a heavier right to speak. The east, south, west, and north are the most suitable. This is doomed that we and Yunyang will not be able to coexist from the beginning. .”
He turned his head, his face was covered with a shadow, but his eyes were still extremely clear:
"Then let's fight! What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get on the negotiating table. People outside think that I am not qualified to inherit Yunyang. That's just right, Yunyang will die in my elder brother's generation. Everyone, This is not a war, this is war."
