“…… In short, as it may be, you need to understand the magnitude and importance of the new task. ”

"I'll send the new farming tools to Master Ruhr later...... Well, by the way, where do you all live at the moment?"

Zhang Xun was halfway through speaking, and suddenly asked.

After hearing the word "plan", several alchemists who couldn't help but be a little excited calmed their emotions before replying: "At present, we are living in a courtyard in the royal capital, conducting research and study of the new alchemy plan. ”

Perhaps because of listening to Zhang Xun's instructions many times, these alchemists slowly learned a lot of new words in Zhang Xun's mouth when they spoke.

Of course, the most popular of these neologisms is still "scheme." ”

"Is that so?"

Zhang Xun was stunned, and suddenly recalled a memory in his mind, probably because Zhang Xun ordered to find a way to prevent the leakage of the new metallurgical plan as much as possible, so the officials below on the one hand in order to prevent leakage, on the other hand, also for convenience and research, simply allocated a courtyard to these alchemists in the royal capital for living and research.

Zhang Xun is no stranger to this kind of thing.

In Blue Star, when the country researches important technical projects, researchers are also left alone in a place where birds don't, and they study for many years.

Compared to those people, these alchemists were extremely lucky to be able to live in the royal capital.

However, Zhang Xun felt that it was not a matter to go on like this.

"That's it, I'll arrange a courtyard for you later, you work for the country, you can't always be so unjustifiable, before the war, there was not so much attention, but now, you always need to give you a more suitable identity. ”

Ruhr and others were puzzled and puzzled.

Zhang Xun suddenly showed a smile and said: "I have decided, that official residence is a new administrative department of the kingdom, is it called, for the time being, it is called 'First Alchemy Research Institute', all the alchemists who participated in the previous new metallurgical program have been established, are members of the research institute, and enjoy government subsidies, well, you don't seem to understand? It's okay, I will arrange someone to do it, you just have to cooperate, it's all a good thing." ”

"As for the position in the institute, for the time being, Master Ruhr will serve as the director of the institute, the institution has just been established, and it is not yet mature, first put up the leadership team and organizational structure, as for the details, I will arrange it in a few days, okay, you can go back first." ”

Zhang Xun smiled happily.

The bewildered alchemists said goodbye and left, and Zhang Xun turned to the side and began to mechanically draw pictures according to the knowledge in his head.

Then he met with several ministers.

The arrangements are also all about agricultural production.

Things are complicated, and it is very troublesome to deal with, but fortunately, the quality of most of the senior officials left by the old king is not bad, and the more important reason is that they have just experienced a big victory, and the kingdom is relatively cohesive at this time, and some ministers have slowly begun to accept and believe in Zhang Xun, the new king.

All these have provided the necessary conditions for the smooth development of his work.

Finally finished writing the main information as quickly as possible and handed it over to the guards to send out, Zhang Xun's tired wrist was sore, and after looking at the time, there was not much left.

He was about to take a break, when suddenly a military recital came.

When he saw the name of the presenter, Zhang Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He was the president's general in the previous war against the Western Frontier.

"Simon. ”

Zhang Xun immediately remembered that Simon was also a minister of the humerus.

He had an excellent reputation, was the old king's confidant, and was one of the few important ministers that the old king left to Luke to be completely reliable.

Unlike the Minister of War, Bolton, Simon is away all the year round, commanding the Eagle Yang main battle army, and is the one who really holds the power of the army.

When Lao Wang was dying, he also firmly put the army in Simon's hands, and did not change his life, which shows Lao Wang's trust in him.

In this way, after the death of the old king, Simon naturally became Luke's strongest supporter, holding the army and intimidating all internal factors that tried to shake Luke's rule.

And Simon's advantages are not only loyalty, but also his personal ability to command the army, last year's cold winter, if it were not for Simon to run the front line, Eagle Yang may not be able to achieve today's results.

Therefore, Zhang Xun naturally did not delay the twists and turns of this Simon general.

He immediately took it apart and looked at it, and after a few minutes, Zhang Xun's face was a little gloomy.

The border is secure.

The western frontier is currently unable to counterattack, and the situation is good.

But Simon's performance still made Zhang Xun's mood slightly gloomy.

It was a list of fallen soldiers.

After the war, there was finally time to sort out the number of soldiers and generals lost by the two armies in the past cold winter.

This kind of list, the results are naturally not happy.

Due to the new armor, the number of soldiers who died in Eagle Yang was significantly lower than expected.

In fact, in this era, because weapons were not sharp in war, few people were killed directly.

More often than not, it is because the medical conditions are too poor, resulting in infection after injury and death due to illness.

In the cold winter, the activity of germs decreases, which makes the number of infected people a little.

But even though I have said all this, I ...... after all It's a lot of people who died.

"War. ”

Zhang Xun pinched the piece of paper and looked at the casualties on it, he wanted to express his sadness, but he was a little stunned to find that he was only a little heavy at most.

This made Zhang Xun a little dissatisfied, could it be that his heart was so indifferent?

Then he looked at the numbers on the paper again, and suddenly understood.

"Living people, on paper, turned out to be really just a string of numbers. ”

Zhang Xun thought with emotion.

This is, of course, one of the inferior nature of human beings.

As long as you artificially put a thin layer of paper in front of you, you can treat human life as grass.

Simon's intentions are clear, one is to report the number of casualties, and the other is a vague expression of a desire to ask for more bereavement.

When people die, they must always give their families some material security.

Zhang Xun didn't hesitate about this, so he picked up the pen and wrote down his agreement.

"Increasing the bereavement pension is just to buy people's hearts, not for anything else. ”

Zhang Xun reminded himself seriously.

He believes that as a monarch, one cannot be swayed by emotions.

He has to be strict with himself.

But......

When he saw the special list at the end, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a statistic, a special part of the soldiers who had died heroically again.

In this list, there are not the names of soldiers, but the names of a group of children.

"Orphans?"

Zhang Xun was surprised.

It turned out to be a list of orphans, a separate list of orphans who had lost their parents completely because of the death of a soldier and without a mother.

There are not many people, but there are more than 100 of them.

Simon concludes by expressing his desire for the king to find a way to settle them.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a long time, and even waited until the time he had set for himself had passed before he came back to his senses.

He couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself, "I didn't expect General Simon to have such a ...... The soft side. ”

He shook his head again, then set the recital aside.

"Come, pass my order, send an official letter to the bridgehead, to General Simon, asking him to ...... Send those people to the royal capital, and I will make my own arrangements. ”

Finish the order.

He stretched and said, "Go back!"
