Attached to this memo was a letter addressed to him by the King of the North.

Zhang Xun began to read with curiosity, and soon, a smile appeared on his face.

It's really about Mjolnir.

The last time I brought this up was more than a year ago, when the North wanted to borrow Eagle Yang's alchemist to go to the North Kingdom to help them repair Thor's hammer.

However, Zhang Xun did not agree, of course, not to refuse, but promised to help repair because he was worried that the northern border would detain talents and cause losses, but he had to ask that Thor's hammer be sent to Yingyang for repair.

It was obvious that the king of the north was not happy to see such a national treasure to be sent out, so the matter was not negotiated at the time, and later learned that the people of the north were preparing to work hard again and try to repair the hammer himself.

Then, I never heard from him again.

Until now.

"The spirit of self-reliance is worth encouraging, but there are some things that are not good for one's own skills, and it is not okay to think about it without asking for foreign help, just thinking about it behind closed doors and thinking about it by oneself. Zhang Xun put down the letter and said to himself with a smile.

The meaning of this letter can be summed up very simply, that is, the king of the north finally compromised, and promised to send the hammer of Thor to the capital of the king of Yingyang for repair, of course, the cost of repair will naturally be borne by the north, needless to say, according to the order issued before, the envoy of Yingyang in the north agreed, count the days, and the people in the north should have begun to set off at this time.

There are not many people escorting the hammer over this time, there is only one samurai team, plus a few foreign ministers, the team is the most famous, and what Zhang Xun noticed the most is that this generation of the northern Thor's hammer has, that is, the most powerful warrior in the north, or it can be said that it is the most powerful warrior in the entire five countries - "Thor" Thor.

It is said that Thor, the god of thunder, was able to exert a mysterious power like magic when he picked up a hammer.

Zhang Xun was looking forward to it, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

However, counting the days, it will take some time for these people to reach the royal capital.

Putting down this letter and opening another note, it was a message from the East, an official letter between the kingdoms sent in the name of the Queen of the East.

The tone is official.

At the beginning of the letter, the queen expressed the queen's congratulations on Yingyang's bumper grain harvest at a very long length, anyway, it was a bunch of good words, Zhang Xun naturally didn't eat this, the queen said so, but in fact, she was afraid that she was unhappy, after all, Dongjing has always been Yingyang's main food supplier, and now seeing that Yingyang has the hope of food independence, as the ruler of the Dongjing Kingdom, she is not in a hurry.

"It's a pity that it's useless for you to be in a hurry, my brother's train has been built, the steel wheels of the times have begun to turn, and all the old guards who try to stop them are vulnerable chickens and dogs. Zhang Xun thought a little proudly.

However, when he saw the back part, he sighed softly.

Contrary to what he thought, the meaning revealed by the Queen of the East at the end of the letter was not an attempt to stop him, but a hidden encouragement.

It's really weird.

According to the reason, the political game between the two kingdoms is about a balance, and the food problem is obviously a major event that breaks the balance, and the east should find a way to stumble on itself, for example, the most important thing is that Ying Yang has only signed an agreement with the east for three years, which can be used as a weight in the other party's hand to operate, observing the style of the queen of the east realm, she is by no means a stupid woman, it is impossible not to see through this.

However, in this letter, he revealed his intention to cooperate in depth, and even vaguely promised to renew the contract between the words......

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xun frowned and thought hard, he couldn't figure it out, and he had the heart to summon the prime minister to ask, but this time was not appropriate, so he simply put it aside for the time being.

In short, whatever it is for, it's a good thing.

If the queen wants to continue to talk with herself, then let's talk about it, if this can be renewed, even if the queen of the east wants to buy a steam engine at a low price, and even the formula of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is not completely impossible to discuss, which is more important, Zhang Xun can still tell the difference.

Time was running out, and he returned to reality again.

During the day the next day, early in the morning, Bai Xiang's car drove downstairs.

Today, Bai Xiang helped Zhang Xun meet with a famous historian at his request.

Zhang Xun went to meet the other party with the management of Biyou, nominally, in order to build the game background in more detail, and wanted to ask the scholar something.

This is not the first time this kind of thing, for example, last month, Zhang Xun made an appointment with an economist, and successfully invited the other party to make a plan on economic and trade based on the game data of the Middle Continent, and now this plan has begun to be applied to Yingyang.

"Get in the car, my big boss. ”

Manager Bai opened the car door and greeted with a smile, Bai Xiang gradually liked this more peculiar job, and some time ago he also took a vacant position in the game planning team of Biyou Company, and began to take over some design schemes in the name of game background design.

The full woman is full of energy, and the person is also energetic and good-looking.

Zhang Xun sat in, and the two chatted for a while about miscellaneous topics, and then came to their destination.

The meeting was at an upscale teahouse.

There is no need to elaborate on the conversation process, probably Zhang Xun asked, the old professor opposite who did not have much hair explained, and Bai Xiang accompanied him with a voice recorder and listened carefully.

The conversation lasted a full four hours.

After finishing and sending the historian away, Bai Xiang looked at Zhang Xun a little strangely and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What are you doing?" Zhang Xun took a sip of tea tiredly.

"Last time you met with economists to talk about trade, I can still understand, after all, you are not only doing games, but also other businesses, and it is understandable to want to learn, but this time, you pulled a big professor to ask for advice on the method of cutting feudal domains in history for four hours. Bai Xiang complained.

Zhang Xun just smiled and said nothing.

This made Bai Xiang very angry, she found that the young man in front of her was no longer the shy, honest, honest and kind young man who asked what to say, and now he smiled and said nothing to her at every turn, but once this happened, she had no choice, and finally could only sigh and say something that really convinced you.

"Okay, okay, my great hero, let's go, it's been four hours, you're hungry, I'll invite you to a big meal. Zhang Xun smiled and pulled Bai Xiang out of the door, fooling this matter over.

If you don't fool around, you can't help it, and you can't explain that this thing is true.

This time, he did ask about the cutting of the domain, but what was different from what Bai Xiang thought was that the last time he met with the economist was actually to pave the way for the cutting of the domain.

The word cutting the feudal domain is actually not used here, but the meaning is probably not too bad, the nobles of the various fiefs within Yingyang have always been Zhang Xun's confidants, and they want to gather the power of the entire kingdom to act completely on the orders of the king and rule absolutely, and those nobles who have fiefs must be eliminated.

Of course, this is not pulled out by violence, in that case, the whole kingdom will be crippled.

Zhang Xun's idea was to cut the feudal domain.

This curve is to gradually squeeze the living space of each lord through economic suppression, so as to achieve the goal of weakening them.

This is also an idea that he summed up by soliciting the opinions of players and his own experience in governing these years, and it is also what he thinks is most in line with Yingyang's current situation.

History can be a mirror, but no one looks in the mirror exactly the same.

There are many cases of different countries, periods, and different backgrounds of royal power trying to weaken their subordinates, but it is impossible to apply it to Yingyang completely appropriately, as Zhang Xun has been king for longer and longer, his way of looking at things has changed dramatically from the beginning, and he has more ideas and experiences.

For example, he thinks that the plan of governing the country is similar to the so-called socialism with the characteristics of the republic, socialism is one thing, and the characteristics are another thing, of course, this characteristic can be ridiculed, but at the same time he has to admit its correctness, the criticized small bookism is the mistake made at the beginning, if a country wants to go on, it must have a unique plan suitable for its own national conditions, and this program framework can be taken from the doctrine, but it must be reformed.

It is an S-curve that sways and swings out from the left and right.

Zhang Xun now just wants to draw a curve that belongs to Yingyang.

The plan to cut the feudal domain is to use the increasingly powerful industrial strength of the royal family to quietly squeeze the income sources of the various big lords, and through the squeeze of the state-owned economy, their income will be reduced, which is relatively moderate, and at the same time, for the people of Yingyang, who have no concept of economics at all, even if the nobles feel that something is wrong, they cannot accuse him of anything as a king.

This plan can also be said to be a copy of the eastern border, the current situation in the eastern border is because the major lords and nobles have squeezed the living space of the eastern royal family through the economy, resulting in the embarrassment of the strong big merchant aristocracy, and the royal family is weak before the words, which also proves that this road is feasible, what Zhang Xun has to do is to do the opposite, in the eastern border, the merchants can weaken the royal family through the economy, then in Yingyang, he will use the economy to achieve the reduction of the domain.

This is completely consistent with the line of carrying out industrial construction and economic development, and it is precisely because of this plan that Zhang Xun is so radical to test the train in public.

When the train opens, it means that the big industrial strategy really reveals its fierceness and power.

In just a moment, Shikoku will tremble under the soaring eagle.

……

After the king with a sharp weapon in his chest smiled and finished a sumptuous meal with Manager Bai, that night, Zhang Xun re-entered Yingyang.

……

On this day, the Harmony train officially began its trial operation.
