He handed over the matter of rail manufacturing to Ruer, and then Zhang Xun gave him a brief hello, asking him to find a few alchemists with good tempers and strong learning ability, and to give him the idea of setting up a separate laboratory.

"The group of students who were educated by Luo Ning will fill in this new laboratory as assistant interns, and the specific operations can be handed over to them, the older ones will do the practical operations, the younger ones will study on the side, and the leading ones will still be done by selected alchemists, and I will tell you what this laboratory will do later, in short, prepare first. Zhang Xun said lightly.

Ruhl didn't have any extra thoughts about this, at most he was just curious, and when he mentioned the alchemist, he actually remembered something, patted his head, and asked: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something and wanted to report it for instructions." ”

"What's the matter?"

Ruer rubbed his hands and said: "Since the establishment of the institute, the fame has spread, and many places have known it, especially the alchemists in Yingyang, during this time, the institute has become more and more famous, and many alchemists have begun to come over and want to join the institute, and they have been asking, and they have all been pushed away before, but now there are many people, and a large part of them still have personal contacts with the researchers in the institute, and there are even some big nobles who also come to get their personal alchemists in, and there are more and more such people, we." ……”

The more Zhang Xun listened, the more wrong he became, and suddenly his face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "What do you mean by the great nobleman's private alchemist?"

Luer scratched his beard and reluctantly explained with a low level of education, Zhang Xun finally understood, there are many alchemists in Yingyang, and this part of the research institute that Zhang Xun summoned to form at the beginning is only a part of the first-class alchemists, which is based on the alchemists who work in the royal industry and are famous and independent, but more middle- and low-level alchemists, as well as some first-class alchemists, have not been called for various reasons, and this part is largely because they are tied up by the private industry of the nobility.

The great nobles of Yingyang have their own mines, and they also hire their own alchemists, these alchemists enjoy relatively high salaries to serve the noble lords, similar to the private property of the nobles, so naturally they can't come over, and now it is probably the aristocratic group that finally realized the economic potential of the research results in the institute, but because the institute is completely under the control of the royal family, they can't reach into it, so they began to think of stuffing their own private alchemists into it.

Zhang Xun didn't care about these flies, but he was worried that some nobles would put pressure on the institute, you must know that the royal system of Yingyang was similar to that of Zhou Tianzi, and the power was far from being comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty and other dynasties that continuously strengthened centralized power, and the power of the nobles was still very strong.

Seeing this, Ruhr couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly said: "The pressure is not enough, it's just more troublesome." ”

Zhang Xun squinted, Lu Er didn't seem to be lying, and after thinking about it, he could also speculate that the researchers of the institute were originally alchemists and craftsmen with a high status, and they were the objects of the major nobles, and now they are supported by the royal family, and the waist is naturally hard, and the most important thing is that although the institute is hung with the brand of a government agency, it is still short in its establishment, and it is maverick, and it has not yet been incorporated into Yingyang's simple and stubborn system.

All of this provides the conditions for reducing stress.

"Okay, I know, I'll deal with this part of the trouble, clearly write out the entry criteria, and they won't have anything to say. ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, if you can, you want to ...... again Expand on that. Ruhl listened to this and cautiously made a suggestion.

This made Zhang Xun a little surprised, and asked a few more words, and Lu Erton said with a bitter face: "The original metallurgical transformation has not been completely completed, and Jenny machine manufacturing also needs to send people to guide, the machine tool has just been completed, and the next steam engine and this track need people, plus it is necessary to transfer people to set up a laboratory, in this case, I am afraid that the manpower in the institute is ...... short."

Zhang Xun suddenly thought about it, thinking that this is indeed the truth, and he still remembers the matter of the King of the North, although there will be no news back for a while, but in case the King of the North sends the hammer again, in order to maintain and strengthen the political exchanges between the kingdoms, the priority of the repair of the hammer must be high enough, and the people in the research institute are not too young, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.

In addition, Zhang Xun also has another guess, that is, Ruer and others probably have their own thoughts, they can bear the pressure of those nobles, but the pressure from other aspects is unbearable, everyone is an alchemist, each other's masters and apprentices, friends and relatives, the network of human relations is in it, Ruhr may also have this aspect of mind when he has the courage to make suggestions at this time, but in this regard, Zhang Xun does not plan to delve into it, in the Western background of Yingyang, the relationship between people is far less complicated than the Republic, rather than worrying about promoting bad divisions, it is better to worry about this group of alchemists forming gangs。

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xun made a decision, and simply said: "I understand the difficulties in the institute, so let's do it, you can recruit a group of newcomers recently, but the conditions still have to be there, those who want to really do it in the institute need to be innocent enough, and they must not have deep connections with other kingdoms, and the most important thing is that they must be free, and they also need to go through some basic assessments, and the assessment will be arranged by your own standards, as for the private alchemists of those nobles...... Provide a batch of exchange places, and let them help in the office for a short time in the name of exchanging industry experience, but you have to charge them some fees, after all, it will be a waste of food in the office. ”

"This ...... Okay? Those aristocratic private alchemists are afraid that they are going to steal their studies. Ruhr instinctively resisted, a common problem for craftsmen.

Zhang Xun smiled and said: "You can rest assured, technology needs to be changed, even if you teach them to learn, except for the core part such as the steam engine, which cannot be contacted by outsiders, the rest of the technology does not have to worry too much, and when they learn it, we will also have stronger new technologies here." ”

Zhang Xun has nothing else to say, in his opinion, under the industrial model of the future factory group, those private aristocratic alchemists will not be able to become a climate at all, rather than worrying about that, it is better to get them in to earn labor for nothing, needless to say, these people themselves and the subsequent nobles must be willing to bear high tuition fees in order to steal technology, those big nobles are richer than the other, but Zhang Xun, the king, has a tight pocket, and there is no reason to let go of the opportunity to slaughter a sum.

"This ...... All right. Ruhr is still a little worried, but he still can't help but be happy to solve the problem of recruiting places, especially Ruhr, who has gradually evolved from a simple alchemist to a technical manager, has awakened a certain nature, and he is keenly aware that Zhang Xun's orders quietly hide a lot of assignable powers, such as the allocation of quotas, the standards of assessment, and the previous arrangement for the establishment of a laboratory, there are almost everywhere at his disposal。

Seeing off Ruhr, there was not much time, and Zhang Xun returned directly to Blue Star.

It was another morning, and Zhang Xun was thinking about continuing to write his plan after meditating and recovering his spirits, but Bai Xiang came to the door.

Wearing a black and white professional suit, long hair and a shawl, and a refreshing and elegant gait, the woman who broke into the door with a fragrant breeze and the first thing she said was: "Boss Zhang, do you have time?"
