The development progress of the game gave Zhang Xun a surprise, and according to the progress, it is expected to be officially launched in the spring.

Anyway, this game is not profitable, so you don't need to pay too much attention to the channel, after all, Biyou is a maverick company.

After turning the day and calculating the time, Zhang Xun entered Yingyang at dawn.

If the calculation is good, this time may be able to catch up with that banquet.

……

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The captain of the palace guard guarding next to the carriage stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Xun up, looking very nervous.

Zhang Xun shook his head, only then did he see his current situation, he was on the short way out of the carriage, and he almost fell.

"It's fine. He waved his hand to indicate that it was all right, and then looked around to see a mansion in front of him, and at this moment, a group of people were pouring out.

These people are brightly dressed, men are dressed in formal clothes, and they all show the best state of etiquette, since they are nobles, the surface kung fu is still good, except for a few cases, most of them still look aristocratic and full of demeanor.

As for the female dependents, they are even more fancy, according to the aesthetics of Yingyang, the body is plump, wearing gorgeous clothes, the skirt is not moving, the arms are like the first snow, the gems are dazzling, dignified and elegant, and there is quite a lady's style.

"Greetings to His Majesty!"

When Zhang Xun stood firm, he also saw this group of people saluting one after another, Zhang Xun smiled, said a few polite words, raised his eyes, and suddenly saw Pope Thiago walking out of Shi Shiran in the crowd.

The old man's expression was calm and solemn, and he looked somewhat abrupt when he stood in this banquet.

The two looked at each other, and they parted at the touch of a button.

"Please!"

A noble lord from the Varro Territory laughed and welcomed Zhang Xun in.

Walking into the mansion, and then into the banquet and drinking hall, the snow-white statues and green plants are mixed to decorate the background, the scene is quite large, and when you enter the inside, you can see that there are many young nobles in groups of three or two, all over the middle.

These young people are dressed more brightly, especially the aristocratic girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet, and they are even more active or passive in competing for beauty.

As soon as Zhang Xun came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those nobles were just gone, and out of the corner of Zhang Xun's eyes, he saw a girl immediately straighten her clothes secretly, and then leaned towards herself.

There are many more like this.

Zhang Xun then remembered that he was still very young, even younger than many young people here, but he had been in contact with a group of ministers for a long time, and he almost forgot about it.

"No wonder there are so many girls today. Zhang Xun chuckled in his heart, did not squint, let his body walk according to Luke's instinct, and Luke, who had undergone complete training in royal etiquette, naturally could not make a mistake, even if there was a problem, probably no one would say.

"Your Majesty, we meet again, and you seem to have grown a little taller. Pope Thiago Schran walked over and said slowly with a smile.

Zhang Xun's eyes narrowed, keenly aware of Thiago's criticism of him, it seems that after he refused his tax request last time, it has unexpectedly caused some dissatisfaction in the church.

Whenever he thinks of the church, Zhang Xun thinks of the previous generation of Eagle Yang Lao Wang, who did not let the church become bigger, and now it can be easier to suppress.

"It's been a long time, Pope, and you're getting older. Zhang Xun said.

Thiago was stunned for a moment, then he saw the young king in front of him and laughed, and said, "Just kidding!"

The rest of the nobles laughed very respectfully, and Thiago could only grin, but the smile was not sincere.

The sensitive nobles around him were staring at each other.

"Ah, Marquis Josen, you're here early?" Zhang Xun took the initiative to divert the conversation and walked towards another elderly nobleman, leaving Pope Thiago squinting and silent.

There is no superfluous need to describe the whole banquet, eating is not the purpose, the banquet has its own theme.

Soon, when the nobles did it, their purpose finally emerged.

Sure enough, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, the theme was related to the steam engine.

Several high-ranking nobles first knocked a few words on the side, and then began to praise the steam engine, and finally, you and I looked at the situation as soon as I said it, and finally said the purpose.

“…… So, I want to buy a steam engine here, I don't know how much it will cost?"

An old nobleman finally spoke, and then a pair of gray-brown eyes remained motionless, staring at Zhang Xun.

The whole table looked at it, and even those who bowed their heads couldn't help but stop talking.

Zhang Xun looked at these people and suddenly smiled, but he didn't speak, hanging the appetite of these people.

"Your Majesty, isn't this steam engine going to be sold?" asked the Marquis of Jossen before.

His words drew everyone's attention even tighter.

Zhang Xun still didn't speak, and the nobles were faintly restless.

In their opinion, if they don't say it, it is very likely to be regarded as acquiescence.

And if this happens, they may face a more severe test than the nobles of the Eastern Realm.

Many people's faces are difficult to look at, and they are undisguised.

Something was wrong with the atmosphere at the banquet, and the whispers that were still there were gone.

Just when the mouth of an old aristocratic lord moved, and he couldn't help but want to speak, Zhang Xun suddenly spoke.

He smiled, "Is that a problem...... Marquis Jossen thinks too much, and invests so much money in the research and development of the steam engine, of course, in order to use it for the benefit of Yingyang, not for anything else, just to make the people suffer less hardship, but also to vigorously promote it. ”

"As for its selling price, the current manufacturing technology is not particularly stable, and the price is not very easy to determine, but since you are anxious, then I will go back and order someone to speed up the accounting, and set a price as soon as possible, but it will take time to make it, if you want to buy, wait for the price to come out, and submit the number of units you want, and step up manufacturing this winter, and wait for the beginning of spring. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly relaxed.

A group of nobles thawed their faces and showed joy, and they were not very willing to confront the king, but if Zhang Xun did not agree, they could only say something bad.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Xun raised his hand again, stopped everyone's words, and said with a smile: "However, there is one thing that needs to be said." ”

"What?"

"You have also seen the situation in the east, after the popularization of the Jenny machine, many people in the east have lost their jobs, this is a very serious problem, Yingyang should pay attention to it, I think you don't want the people in your territory to lose their jobs, wander around or even make trouble. ”

Zhang Xun said.

Carefully observing the attitudes of many nobles, some of them showed a thoughtful look, some of them were just stunned, and a considerable part of them showed disapproving expressions.

After all, it is a feudal society, for the lords, the status of the lords is only slightly higher than that of slaves, as long as they do not delay making money, many of them do not care how the lords live, it is not necessary to live or die.

Zhang Xun also brought up the issue of chaos to make them pay more attention to it, but obviously, some people still can't figure it out.

His face sank a little.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed not a good thing for the people to be unemployed, so what do you mean......" Marquis Qiao Sen is still more sensible, knows the importance of stability, and asked when he heard this.

Zhang Xun took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "In order to solve this part of the employment problem, I am ready to add some infrastructure construction in the kingdom, and I need your cooperation." ”

"Infrastructure? What's that?"

The nobles were collectively at a loss.

This is another new term.
