Chapter 141

Zhang Xun never likes to spit out the skin when he eats grapes.

It's not clean to eat like that.

He knew that, but ...... I just don't want to throw up.

He always felt that the skin was much better than the flesh inside.

"I'm not too ambitious. ”

Zhang Xun looked at Levi's face seriously and said.

He pointed to the red circle again and sighed: "Look at this land, what a good piece of land." ”

Levi understood what Zhang Xun meant.

It's a good piece of land.

Especially when compared to Eagle Yang.

The land is flat, there are no mountains, no countless stones, only simple soil.

Such a land may be commonplace for the people of the West, but for Yingyang, it is very rare.

"Yingyang has many veins, many mountains, and many stones, which is the kind that has less soil and is suitable for farming. ”

"There's even less land for farming like this, so I'm really reluctant to give it back. ”

Zhang Xun said reluctantly.

Levi reminded, "The King of the Westlands will pay for it." ”

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. ”

Zhang Xun said something that Levi didn't understand, and then explained: "I mean, if you get some money, although it's very cool, it will be spent soon, and it will be gone, but if you can keep this land, there are a lot more possibilities." ”

Levi smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, if we leave this land, along with the hatred of the King of the Western Realm, they will not tolerate this for a long time. ”

"If we return the land to him, he won't hold a grudge against me? What the hell is the truth, the heart of the West to annex me will not die, whether there is this land or not, it is the same. Zhang Xun scoffed, he was most disgusted with the cowardly mentality of self-deception.

"That's true, but this land is on the border, and if we want to stay, we'll have to defend it with heavy troops. ”

"I took a look, this place is a good terrain, it's not bad to leave the army there, most of our soldiers are civilians, and they only picked up weapons when they encountered war, so it doesn't seem very difficult to get them to put down their swords and take hoes, right?"

"But the Yingyang people have never been good farmers, they are good at mining, not farming. Levi asked a new question.

Zhang Xun pursed his lips, had some thoughts in his head, and said, "If it's this problem, I think I have a way to solve it." ”

"Even if you have a way, but what about the original inhabitants of the Westlands in that area, if we expel them, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Why do you want to be expelled?" Zhang Xun was puzzled, "What we need is an increasingly powerful Yingyang, not just an extra piece of land, a kingdom, and the most important thing is the population, since those people are still there, how can they be let go? ”

Levi felt that His Majesty today was really a little abnormal, and in the face of Zhang Xun's words, he could only admonish with a bitter face: "If the population is not released, then what should we do? After all, they are from the West, and we are the enemies who have invaded their homeland, and they will definitely set up obstacles for us everywhere." ”

"Encroaching on their homeland?" Zhang Xunha laughed and said, "If they want to think so, then it doesn't matter, if it weren't for our luck, we would be the ones who have been invaded now." ”

After a pause, he exhaled and said softly: "But what you said is indeed a problem, it is impossible for me to give up the population, but they are from the West after all, although the countries of this world do not seem to know how to use a strong public opinion offensive to create national cohesion and national centripetal force, but it is indeed a problem to erase the idea of citizens of the West in their minds." ”

Although Levi still couldn't understand some of the words in Zhang Xun's mouth, he probably understood that His Majesty understood the existence of the problem, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhang Xun immediately said: "The problem has always existed, so we need to find a way to solve it, huh...... I had a vague idea in my head. ”

Levi really wanted to ask aloud, why do you have so many thoughts in your head?

However, after all, I couldn't ask.

"Well, let me think about this matter again, how to choose, and then talk about it. ”

Zhang Xunsi lined up for a while, and also felt that his idea would bring a lot of trouble, so he could only order like this.

"As for the envoys of the peace talks, you go and talk to them to see what the situation is, and if they want to see me, they will say that I am not in a cold situation and it is inconvenient to meet them. Hmph, why didn't you think of saying hello to me when the war started? Now that you have lost the war and want to talk about peace, they ask me to see them by name?

Levi looked at Zhang Xun's emotional performance, smiled wryly, nodded, and took the order, and when he went out, he suddenly realized that "Luke" with personal emotions really looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

The majesty in front of him now is much more comfortable than the usual "Luke" who has a wooden face on any occasion, like a noodle stall, and only behaves at the right time when he should show a certain emotion.

Out of the palace gate, the spring breeze blows.

Only then did the young prime minister recall Zhang Xun's previous thought.

"Leave that piece of land behind?"

"Stay?"

"Don't return it to the King of the West, but let's keep it ourselves?"

Levi stood at the gate of the palace and thought about this in a daze, even though the reason in his heart told him that this would cause him countless kinds of trouble, but ......

"If it really does, it seems to ...... It's really a little bit happier. ”

In the capital of the country in early spring.

So thought the young prime minister.

……

……

A long conversation with Levi took a lot of time, and Zhang Xun saw that there was not much time left, so he hurriedly picked a few things that he was more concerned about.

For example, I learned about the upgrading of Yingyang industry.

Due to the war and the environmental factors of winter, the process of industrial upgrading was a little slower, but everything went well.

The main alchemy plants of Eagle Yang have begun to apply new metallurgical solutions.

At the beginning, Lin Rong provided a total of two sets of plans, but due to the hurry, Zhang Xun only explained plan A to the alchemists, and plan B had not yet had time to teach.

Zhang Xun simply wrote down the main part of the steps of Plan B in the remaining time, and then instructed people to hand it over to the alchemists in the royal capital, asking them to consult and understand first, and then in a few days, they would start classes by themselves to answer questions.

After doing this, there was not much time left before he planned, and Zhang Xun simply returned to Blue Star.

……

……

"Whew. ”

When he woke up again, Zhang Xun had begun to slowly get used to the discomfort of soul wearing.

He lay on the bed for a long time to adjust before slowly getting up.

On the table are cosmetics he bought online.

It's not that he suddenly fell in love with beauty, but to cover up his pale face with these things.

Even though he had limited the length of time he could stay, every time he crossed the plane, he still had to become very weak.

The weakness in the body can be hidden, but the pale face is not easy to hide, and you can't keep pretending to be sick.

After retouching it with cosmetics, Zhang Xun's face finally looked less pale.

It's been another morning.

Zhang Xun's agenda bar is already full.

The first thing he thought about was to quickly contact a few of his staff officers, and he wanted to hear the opinions of others about the idea of the land in the west.

It's not that the people here have higher intelligence than Levi's, but the Blue Star people have a higher vision after all.

Especially......

"Levi may be worried about not knowing how to farm, but if there is this world's agricultural technology, it will be different. After countless years of summarizing and exploring the cultivation methods of different soils, after the upgrading of basic industries, I can find someone to make a plan, and then create agricultural machinery, and even, although the basis of chemistry in the other world is almost zero, but as long as there is knowledge, it may not be impossible to find some alternatives, if you can make pesticides, fertilizers, the ultimate killer, then it must be invincible?"

Zhang Xun was a little excited when he thought about it.

Yingyang has been heavily dependent on grain imports because of its own problems, which makes its own lifeblood always held by other countries, and Zhang Xun will not be at ease if he does not solve the food problem for a day.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if it's difficult to do something like hybrid rice GMO......"

Zhang Xun was spinning around with chaotic thoughts in his head, and then he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hi ~ Guys, look here. ”

Zhang Xun was stunned, retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look, and saw Gao Shen, who had been on a business trip for a while, sitting in his old position with a smile and beckoning to Zhang Xun.
