This kind of thing is impossible to sell, this thing is different from the textile machine, after all, there are differences between the two worlds, so pesticides and fertilizers are not completely copied from Blue Star, in fact, for the special situation of the other world, the laboratory has long been trying to adjust the original formula.

This matter is mainly handed over to the Mage Tower's side to cooperate, and those magicians have a deep understanding of the native potions of the other world, which is very suitable for transforming into chemists.

And Zhang Xun believes that when magic and chemistry are combined, beautiful sparks will inevitably collide.

In short, this recipe is impossible to give.

"Your Majesty, it is naturally impossible to sell the formula to them, and the rest of the countries must also understand, so this kind of request is probably just a temptation, and the real idea is probably to buy finished products of fertilizers and pesticides. ”

Finished product?

Zhang Xun lowered his head and thought about it, if it was a finished product, it would be fine, among the surrounding kingdoms, only Yingyang was the most short of food, and the rest of the kingdoms had no major problems in terms of food, so they were not afraid of the enemy.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed, and gave another reason for his support: "Your Majesty, if we sell the finished products to them, one will increase the fiscal revenue, and the other will lower the price of grain."

We signed a three-year agreement, in order to prevent the worst possibility, we still need to hoard and buy grain, so that the price of grain is very important, if the fertilizer and pesticides are sold, it will inevitably make a leap forward in the grain output within the five countries, so that the output is more, the population cannot go up in a short time, then the price of grain will inevitably fall, we will buy grain will be much cheaper, and master the technology of manufacturing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, we can stop selling at any time, in this way, it is equivalent to using the money of the rest of the kingdom to help us buy grain, and finally according to the price difference, we still have a profit。 ”

It is worthy of being a stingy finance minister who deals with money all day long, once it comes to the issue of money, his brain is indeed flexible, Zhang Xun is very satisfied with it, this suggestion is very good.

He nodded in appreciation, and added, "In addition, according to this method, there is a great advantage. ”

"What?"

"Jobs. Zhang Xun sighed, "In the past year, the power provided by the steam engine has been widely used in mining, and various lords have begun to use the machine, resulting in many people losing their jobs. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Xun discussed with the ministers, and formulated a plan, that is, to open factories in several places with a relatively high unemployment rate across the country, and it is easier for the royal family to directly under the jurisdiction, as for the territory of the big lords and nobles, you can also talk about it, the problem is not big, for the lords, they are extremely careful in running their own territories, and if the people in the territory are unemployed and poor, it will directly affect their taxes, which is related to interests.

Zhang Xun decided to open different raw material processing bases in several locations, dismantle several steps and material processing for the manufacture of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, do the same in one place, and then transport the rough processed and extracted things to the royal capital, and the final proportional processing will be carried out by the factory directly under the royal family, which can effectively prevent the leakage of the formula.

After carefully discussing the details, Zhang Xun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Simon's illness better?"

The ministers were silent, and Levi replied, "It should be fine. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Xun nodded and said no more.

The treatment of the number one general in the army is more interesting.

After being reminded at the beginning, Zhang Xun realized the danger of putting this figure in charge of the real power of the military outside, and after soliciting the opinions of players in the game, he decided to transfer him back to the royal capital.

After that, Simon really returned as ordered, and Zhang Xun also met with the important minister seriously, and only said some nonsense at that time.

However, after this nourishing conversation ended, not long after, Simon asked to be transferred to the military headquarters of the royal capital on the grounds that he had been on the border for a long time, was unaccustomed to the water and soil, and was ill, and took the initiative to hand over the authority to lead the troops.

This move surprised Zhang Xun, who was thinking hard and didn't know how to deal with it.

After thinking about it, I guessed that this general should be wise.

It's just that after many days, by chance, he finally learned that after the conversation between the monarch and the minister, the prime minister Levi had visited Simon, so one was the head of the civil ministers and the other was the head of the military generals, and they had a long talk.

After that, Simon took the initiative to request.

Zhang Xun pretended not to know about this.

Of course, he also reflected, for example, although the people of the West are honest now, they can't tell when they will fight back, and it is most secure to have Simon in the frontier, and once the general is changed, there will inevitably be a period of pain, he understands these truths.

But at the same time, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is really a great hidden danger to let Simon's autonomous bridgehead for a long time be left in the light of reason.

It was only then that Zhang Xun deeply understood many historical events, and many disasters caused by the emperor's suspicion that were criticized by future generations could not be completely blamed for the emperor's stupidity.

People can only see the disasters caused by suspicion, but often they cannot see the many more disasters that have not happened because of prudence.

It just so happened that the former Minister of War, Bolton, had already been in semi-retirement, and now it was just time for Simon to take over.

It's just that since then, General Simon has always been unwell, and his work is also dutiful, but he often doesn't leave home, and generally speaking, he participates in many things, but he didn't come to the commendation meeting today, and he may be really sick, after all, compared to the average age of people from the other world, Simon is already a little old.

The courtiers dispersed, and Zhang Xun prepared for Luke to visit Simon in the evening.

But before that, there's one more big thing to do.

"Director Ruhr, how long will it take for the first-generation model of the train to run experimentally?" Zhang Xun asked as he summoned Ruhr into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the train has been adjusted and is ready for testing. Ruhl replied in the affirmative.

"Okay!" Zhang Xun looked happy, the development of the train is of vital significance to Yingyang, the rails laid by the previous experiment have some appearance, but the train has not been out for a long time, attacking the public relations for a year, and buying countless details in the city is disgusted, and finally the train is reproduced in Yingyang.

"Since this is the case, then prepare to conduct the experiment in the royal capital square the day after tomorrow!

Ruhl was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Wouldn't you just experiment with it in private?"

"No! I have faith in you. Zhang Xun waved his hand and decided on this matter, Luer was surprised, happy and frightened, and finally could only agree, just thinking, in this way, when the train starts, I am afraid that the king will be boiling again.

After Luer left, Zhang Xun was able to sit down and drink tea.

At the same time, casually flip through the desk and look at the folds.

Then his brow raised.

The first piece of news was about the North.

To be precise, it's news about Mjolnir in the North.

"It's been a long time since I've heard about it, and I've almost forgotten about it. Zhang Xun muttered to himself, looking at it with interest.
