Chapter 30: Three Months Later
Ling Yu calmed down, the three of them simply sat down again, let the guy serve tea, and began to chat, after calming down, Ling Yu became the handsome, wise, and sometimes humorous young man, which made Zhou Ling's senses for Ling Yu better and better.
After chatting for a while, he slowly got to the point, Ling Yu said: "Baked cakes, the Academy of Sciences needs a large number of third-level spirit masters to produce rifles, you see if there is a way to mobilize some." Ling Yu did not shy away from Zhou Ling at all, and directly talked about confidential matters.
Zhou Shaobin originally wanted to support Zhou Ling, after all, women are not allowed to interfere in politics This is the family motto of the royal family, and the princess is no exception, but seeing Ling Yu like this, Zhou Shaobin still didn't say it in the end.
Zhou Ling saw Zhou Shaobin's twisted expression and knew that she had heard something she shouldn't have heard, although she was a little excited in her heart, but the tutor of the royal children's made her understand that she shouldn't listen, so she planned to get up and leave, Ling Yu saw this and said: "Miss Zhou doesn't have to be like this, it's okay if it's all her own people." Originally, he wanted to call Xiaoling, but he thought that he was not too familiar now, and he had just met, so it seemed frivolous to be so intimate, but he made up his mind to marry Zhou Ling home, so naturally he didn't want to leave a bad impression on her.
"Imperial sister, since Brother Ling said so, you can sit down, but this is a big deal, don't spread it." Zhou Shaobin said solemnly.
Seeing Ling Yu excusing her like this, Zhou Ling felt a strange sense of happiness in her heart, and her eyes softened a lot when she looked at Ling Yu.
"Brother Ling, there are a total of fifty spirit masters sent by my father to the emperor's sister in my mansion, all of them are above the third level, the Chamber of Commerce has sent three, and now there are forty-seven people, do you see if it is enough." Zhou Shaobin said, Zhou Ling now lives in Zhou Shaobin's house, the brother and sister have had a good relationship since childhood, and later Zhou Shaobin went out of the palace to live by himself, and Zhou Ling had no playmates, so he also followed.
"At this stage, it must be the more the better, the more the production efficiency, now there is only these, there will be this first, I am also trying to improve the efficiency and reduce the number of personnel needed, anyway, it is not very urgent now, it is enough for the time being, the Chamber of Commerce will send two more people, and the others will go to the Academy of Sciences." Ling Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's do it, the Chamber of Commerce can't keep up with the production efficiency, and today's inventory will be sold out quickly, so the Chamber of Commerce here you also have to take care of it, send more craftsmen over, anyway, it's all the people under your control now, it should be enough over there." Zhou Shaobin said with a smile.
"Well, no problem, the Chamber of Commerce has just started to develop, don't worry, I'll send five more people over tomorrow, but then again, is this considered a use of power for personal gain." Ling Yu looked at Zhou Shaobin and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, the craftsmen of the Chamber of Commerce are all craftsmen." Zhou Shaobin said with a wicked smile.
"You pancake." Ling Yu shook his head and scolded with a smile.
Then the two discussed again, exchanged opinions with each other, Ling Yu carefully arranged the work, and seeing that it was getting late, he did not delay anymore and prepared to return.
Ling Yu glanced at Zhou Ling reluctantly, watched the two of them get into the carriage, and gradually disappeared into the street, shook his head helplessly, and took his own soldiers to drive the carriage back.
"Imperial sister, what do you think of Brother Ling?" On the way home, Zhou Shaobin asked.
"Well, Brother Huang, how can you ask such a question, but I still can't answer you reluctantly, I think, he's not bad." Zhou Ling replied with a red face, Zhou Ling observed Ling Yu for an afternoon, except for the gaffe, which would be a little scary, the senses given to Zhou Ling at other times were very good, people said that men who work hard are the most attractive, Ling Yu's words and deeds, all kinds of thinking and arrangements, fully showed Zhou Ling his charm, making Zhou Ling from curiosity about him to have some good feelings.
Zhou Shaobin smiled, and then stopped talking, he had intended to introduce his sister to Ling Yu, but he didn't need to introduce him, although it was not clear why Ling Yu had such feelings for Zhou Ling, but this was also what he was happy to see, so he was very supportive, and there was no psychological burden at all to "sell" his sister.
On the other hand, Ling Yu was a little lost, and finally foresaw Zhou Ling, but it was another Zhou Ling, his restart, and he couldn't be with Zhou Ling right away, but the loss was also very short-lived, after all, the future is long, the woman that Ling Yu identified, he will naturally use his best efforts to fight for it, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
When he returned home, Ling Yu had already adjusted his mentality, and now the biggest knot in his heart had been untied, Ling Yu seemed to be refreshed, the aura of the whole person became sunny and positive, and there was no longer that sadness, Xinyue of course also felt Ling Yu's aura, but she didn't know what was going on, she just thought it was a good thing, and didn't ask too much.
Time flies like a white horse, more than three months pass in a flash, Ling Yu's time is a continuous rotation, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, and the affairs of the New Army, although it is very hard, Ling Yu still often finds time to create opportunities to be with Zhou Ling.
After such a long time of understanding and communication, Zhou Ling's good impression of Ling Yu has become deeper and deeper, although it has not yet reached the point of talking about marriage, according to Ling Yu's own opinion, it may be able to reach the point where boyfriend and girlfriend hold hands, but of course this era will not blatantly hold hands.
During this period, Ling Yu also did a lot of things, and the Chamber of Commerce had a few more products, such as Lingneng table lamps, Lingneng air conditioners, etc., which were used for daily use, and Ling Yu also designed a machine tool specially used to produce these spiritual guides through Xiaoling, which made the production capacity of the Chamber of Commerce increase a lot, and there would be no daily sales out, so it was naturally a wide range of money.
During this period, Qian Ruomei also looked for Ling Yu several times, hoping to cooperate with Ling Yu as an agent for the export of spirit guides across the country, but because of Zhou Shaobin, Ling Yu did not agree, Qian Ruomei was disappointed a few times and then stopped asking Ling Yu, Ling Yu was not in a hurry, Jinling City, a market of millions of people, was enough for him to work hard for a long time.
Of course, Li Yun has been here a few times, every time she sees Ling Yu, she is very resentful, looking at Zhou Ling, who is in and out of pairs with Ling Yu, she feels very uncomfortable, but as a lady, except for some resentment in her eyes, she has not made any moves, since Ling Yu was sent by the emperor on an errand, it has been a long time since she went to school at the academy.
Ling Yu naturally also felt Li Yun's affection for him, but he was talking to Zhou Ling, and he didn't respond, but he didn't forget to take advantage of others, or for women in this era, he can only take advantage of each other, Ling Yu can only think about seeing if there is a chance to compensate her in the future, but he didn't think about how to respond to other people's feelings for the time being, if Zhou Shaobin knew, he would definitely scold him for being ruthless and unjust.
It is worth mentioning that the psionic locomotive, Ling Yu is also secretly researching, and now it can be the same size as the car in his previous life, and the speed can already run to 100 kilometers per hour, and it already has the level of mass production, but now is not the time to take it out, Ling Yu is not in time, ready to accumulate steadily, because of the training of the army, so Ling Yu has taken into account the large personnel carrier, and is also researching the personnel carrier, if it is done in the future, then the soldiers will be transported from the capital to the frontier to fight, and it can basically start day and night. And save the physical strength of soldiers, as for the consumption of spirit crystals, a country will be afraid of consuming spirit crystals? I don't know how many of the spirit crystal veins of the royal family are bright and dark, anyway, he has been tossing until now, he has never lacked it, and he wants as much as the emperor gives.
The new army has now achieved the effect that Ling Yu wants after more than three months of training, but it lacks the baptism of actual combat, and the spirit crystals, bullets, and rifle spare parts consumed by live ammunition training every day are worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins, not counting three meals and military salaries, but the effect is also very good, Ling Yu feels that even if he is pulled on the battlefield now, he can have a good performance, he has confidence in his new army, what about the rifle, although Xiao Ling has not researched a machine that can automatically carve rifle runes, but there are many people, After working overtime, it was ready for more than two months, and since then it has been producing parts for replacement or assembling new guns.
The crackling sound of the academy station every day naturally attracted many people to investigate, since that court battle, the Zhao family's Qian family has been particularly active, and has sent spirit masters to spy many times, but they have all been blocked, Ling Yu has also strengthened his vigilance step by step, but once again it is very limited, they actually sent a seventh-level spirit master, and they also made a lot of money, a fight, injured 10 guards of the sergeant, and killed 5 spirit masters of the Academy of Sciences, if it weren't for his purpose of killing, I don't know the casualties, He then grabbed a spare part for a rifle and left, which could be used to assemble a complete rifle, but luckily there were no runes engraved on it, so it was useless to assemble.
In view of this matter, Ling Yu asked the emperor for an order to move the Academy of Sciences out of Jinling City and arrange it to a deserted col in the Purple Mountain outside the city, and arranged a lot of bright and dark sentinels and traps along the way, the emperor also sent an eighth-level spirit master to sit in the base of the Academy of Sciences, and the new army was naturally placed here, and the soldiers of the New Army were changed shifts every 2 hours, after a period of construction, the new Academy of Sciences base has also begun to take shape, and it is naturally larger and more people here than in the city, and there are more than 200 people above the third level of the light spirit master, as a means of guaranteeing the production of weapons.
Since coming here, there are no more people who can find this place to spy on, even if someone occasionally touches in, they can't get out again, unless they can send a ninth-level spirit master, but that's impossible, the surrounding countries add up to a ninth-level spirit master, not to mention the family.
Since the relocation of the Academy of Sciences, the family's eyes have been on Ling Yu's Chamber of Commerce, and the same is to send people to spy and rob, after all, the Chamber of Commerce is not as strict as the Academy of Sciences, the guards are not so strict, and a lot of finished spare parts have been robbed, and the finished products don't matter, anyway, they will be destroyed if they are dismantled, but those spare parts that depict runes are troublesome, fortunately, after many upgrades, now Ling Yu can integrate all kinds of runes together, Ling Yu calls it a spirit core, which means the core of various spirit guides, a bit of a central processing unit, Even if they rob it, they don't know how long it will take for them to study the results.
These vicious incidents of the Academy of Sciences and the Chamber of Commerce occurred, the emperor was naturally very angry, but he was also very helpless, even if the prefect of Tianfu changed a few times, it was useless, Zhao Qian and the two families did things secretly, and they did not leave a little handle, even if they knew that they could not punish them, not to mention that the emperor still had so many constraints, which also made him more hopeful for Ling Yu's new army, and later had to agree to Ling Yu's request, and the production base of the Chamber of Commerce was also placed next to the Taoist Academy of Sciences to facilitate confidentiality.
The emperor also went out of the palace to inspect the new army several times in private, looking at the great power of the musket array, the emperor was extremely satisfied, and also intended to let Ling Yu start to expand the scope of military reform, but because the production capacity is not enough now, it has not been put on the agenda, but he has just begun to secretly send the soldiers of the Guards to come over for early rotation training, and a few days ago, 2000 Guards soldiers were sent into the base, and they are currently training.
