The plan was agreed with Zhang Luzhao and the three of them, and the four of them acted separately.

In the afternoon, Bailiyan held an impromptu financial meeting to adjust the fiscal budget expenditure for the second half year and next year, expand the import and reserve of strategic materials, tighten the export quota of industrial products, and increase the issuance of coinage and treasury bonds.

It will be open until the evening, when he returned home, Gongliangxiu had been waiting for an afternoon, because the second son's ship was attacked, he had no intention of visiting the royal family, and immediately rushed back to Chenling, sent someone back to Zhiguo to report the news, and at the same time wanted to know Bailiyan's plan.

"How do you plan to explain this matter to the princes of the world?"

"The Xianguo court will not discuss it publicly for the time being, but the royal guest will inform the Son of Heaven and the princes of various countries that I don't think it will cause much turmoil in the short term, and I even suspect that the princes will not pay attention to it at all, so before the armpit people invade the south, the princes will still go their own way.

However, judging by the temperament of the armpit people, it will not be more than a year at most, and it will appear in Beihai again, and the next time you come, it will be as fierce as a tiger, so Brother Gongliang will go back this time, and please be sure to persuade King Zhi and Shangguan Xiangguo to form an alliance with me to control the armpits. ”

"If it is a great enemy, our king will never stand idly by, but with the current weapons of our army, it is by no means an armpit enemy, you have to give us arms, don't you."

"It's easy to say, Zhiguo exchanges the goods needed by our country for equivalent arms and steel, and I won't lie to you about the price, but you must keep the content and price of the agreement secret. After all, this is a big war, and if we don't take a penny, it will be difficult for our country to continue. ”

Gongliangxiu now knows the industrial capacity of Xianguo, even if Bailiyan doesn't say it, he can roughly calculate the price of basic industrial products, and continue to trade with Zhiguo at the previous market price, he obviously will not agree, and it is not constructive.

Therefore, Zhiguo can get more than other princes by exchanging primary raw materials for arms and steel.

The next day, Bailiyan arranged for Xue Zhong to send an envoy to Zhiguo with Gongliangxiu to discuss the exchange of arms and steel for raw materials.

After completing his university studies, Xue Zhong was transferred to the Foreign Consulate as a secretary and interned in diplomatic work. There has been no opportunity to perform before, and this time it is a great opportunity for him to accompany Gongliang Xiu to Zhiguo.

Unsurprisingly, the news of the armpit invasion spread rapidly through the palace, and the reactions of the envoys of various countries in Xian were mixed.

On the Jin side, Xihuan was undecided, and she was both worried and afraid.

Due to the declining King Xian and the imminent transfer of power, Xihuan is worried that Bailiyan will take the opportunity to seize power, and he is more worried that after he takes power, he will immediately face external invasion and a lot of messes, so Xihuan is now more entangled than anyone else.

On the same day, King Xian announced the personnel appointment of Qiao Cheng, and Bai Liyan quickly handed over the work, and rushed out of the city at dusk to Yongxing to arrange industrial work.

The next day, various factions were convened to adjust their production work, gradually reduce the general production of reserve nature, release the non-strategic industrial products that had been stored in the past few years, reduce the production of guns, increase the number of shifts, focus on the production of various types of processing machine tools and equipment, and increase the production reserve of ammunition.

At the same time, the scale of wind power generation outside Yongxing City will be expanded, and a second thermal power station will be built in Shuyang, so as to use the coal resources of Sangnam County for power generation nearby, so as to supply the increasingly urgent power demand of industrial production in Dujun in the future.

On September 30, Bailiyan rushed to Xuanyun non-stop to convene various departments of Yicaotang to arrange medical training.

In 649, the First Battle of the Frontier clearly exposed the serious problem of insufficient front-line treatment capacity.

To this end, since 650, the headquarters and branches of Yicaotang have expanded their enrollment and training work, and at the same time, they have opened up the source of students and recruited more women to work in medical auxiliary work.

In the more than 20 years since then, there have been only about 800 female medical staff trained in Yicaotang, most of whom are assistants to their fathers or husbands, and there is a gap in the area of paramedical care and nursing.

On the third day of October, Bai Liyan went to the Shuyang Military Factory to inspect the Shuyang Military Factory, expand the recruitment of workers, increase the number of shifts, and speed up the production and reserve of ammunition in order to cope with the consumption of guns and ammunition that may increase at any time in the future.

On 11 October, Bai Liyan rushed to Guangxin to inspect the Lincheng chemical industry, and at the same time began to arrange coastal defenses, and accompanied him to pull 80 truckloads of munitions, 5,000 long and short guns, a number of Type 645 artillery, four base ammunition bases, and mines and mines.

The situation of the Guangxin Army was the same as that of the auxiliary troops in the counties, because the supply of equipment could not keep up, the local army had not yet been issued with firearms, not even artillery. As the gateway of the Beihai Sea of Xianguo, Guangxin is an important defense town of Lincheng Chemical, and it cannot be missed.

On November 19, there was an incident that made Baili Yan very angry, and some people openly spread rumors to create panic, which caused the market turmoil and the increase in risk aversion, and the price of futures diving fluctuated sharply.

When Bailiyan heard the news, she hurried back to Wang and injected capital into the market to calm down the situation.

At the same time, an announcement was published in the newspaper to tighten spot exports to pull up futures prices, and by November 25, the turmoil had basically subsided, but the loss reached S$120,000.

In November, twenty-six hundred miles of Yan returned to the tomb to report to the king of Xian, and as soon as he entered the city, he received the news that Chichika asked him to go to the Nilkok Pavilion to discuss matters.

"Lord Chichika, I don't know what I need to do when I meet with this official today."

"Hehaha, I recently heard that a very fierce monster appeared, which made people panic. Therefore, I want to buy a batch of arms from Lord Si Nong and transport them back to our territory, but I don't know what the adults want. ”

"Shhh...... You want arms! ”

Bai Liyan felt unbelievable, the Nilkoco people were too short, ordinary revolvers were palm cannons for them, and they couldn't use human rifle grenades at all.

"Lord Chichika, our country's arms are all for the use of the human race, and they are not suitable for the use of the people of your country."

"I know this, so I hope that Lord Si Nong can customize a batch for my country, what do you think?"

Bailiyan secretly felt ridiculous, she really thought that the production of munitions was a joke, you said that if you change it to a small size, it will be changed to a small one, where is it so easy. In order to produce tens of thousands of toy guns, I changed the supporting production line, and I couldn't do it.

While thinking about it, he said darkly

"I have a suggestion that might help you."

"What advice?"

"You can design some small-caliber weapons and let them build them themselves."

"You can figure it out, where does the equipment come from, can they use the machine tools used by humans, do you think it's intelligent control, just press a few buttons and it's over."

"Actually, you're ignoring the fact that Nirkocco people are more efficient than humans in some areas."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, first of all, Nirkocco people generally have higher IQs, so their learning efficiency is more than 30 percent higher than that of humans. Second, some manufactured products require only one-fifth or less of the equipment resources of human beings.

For example, to make a gun barrel, the machine tool equipment used by humans needs to consume more raw materials and man-hours to make a machine tool, while if the production is the equipment used by the Honikoko people, the raw materials and man-hours consumed are only one-fifth to one-third of the equipment used by humans, but the same production can be done.

Third, Nilkocco people can create more precision products with fewer resources, and the final superposition efficiency will be higher than that of humans. So I'm suggesting to build a batch of equipment for the Nilkocco people and let them build it themselves, and maybe it will provide you with additional industrial productivity. ”

In short, the raw materials and man-hours consumed to manufacture a human machine tool can produce three or even more than five small equipment suitable for the use of Nilkocco people.

However, it is only suitable for the manufacture and production of short and small precision industrial products, while weapons such as guns and bullets and simple spare parts and precision small parts do not need to be produced by medium-sized machine tools, and smaller instrument machine tools are suitable for them.

At this time, seeing that Bailiyan was slow to answer, Chichika was a little anxious, he said

"If Lord Si Nong doesn't agree, just give me a letter, I won't mind."

"No, this matter can be considered by the official, and in addition, the official hopes that your country can send more students to study in our country, I don't know what Lord Chichka wants."

"Hahaha, that's good, the patriarch will be very happy, then it's decided."

The Nilkocco people have long-range communication pigeons, so even if they are far away, they can use the falcon pigeons to communicate and get the news quickly.

The falcon pigeon is a medium-sized eagle, but can nest like a pigeon.

In the early years, Bailiyan tried to breed pigeons for communication, but later found that there was no pigeon as a species, and there was not even the word "pigeon".

Bailiyan has been trying to obtain Hayabusa pigeons from the Nilkocco people for communication, after all, before the advent of radio, wired communication was too limited.

However, the people of Nierkoko did not agree to live or die, and Bailiyan had no choice but to give up.

After agreeing with Chichika, Baili Yan entered the palace to return to King Xian.

At this time, it was still early, and it had just arrived, and the King of Xian was either in the Guangyuan Palace, or in the Bailing Garden, but today the King of Xian was neither in the Guangyuan Palace, nor in the Bailing Garden, and he knew that the King of Xian had returned to the harem under the inquiry.

On the way to the harem, he happened to meet Doctor Liu, and Bai Liyan thought that King Xian was sick, so he stepped forward to ask

"Doctor Liu, but the king is sick."

Doctor Liu smiled mysteriously, and approached Bai Liyan with a mysterious face and whispered

"It's that Concubine Zhen is pregnant, and she occasionally feels unwell, so let the lower official diagnose the pulse on her behalf."

"Oh......" Bai Liyan was stunned when she heard the news, and she was speechless.

King Xian's original queen died in childbirth when she gave birth to her second daughter, so King Xian has not yet established a queen. And this concubine is Jiang Can's biological mother, she is forty and two this year, plus she is well maintained, and now she is in the year of the tiger and wolf, but King Xian is already a handful of years old, and his body is weak, and he doesn't know moderation, and he has made a younger brother and sister for his son, how will the sons of King Xian feel at that time.

King Xian favors Concubine Zhen, not only because of Concubine Zhen's beauty, gentleness, thoughtfulness and loveliness, but also because Jiang Can is related to Concubine Zhen's background.

Concubine Zhen was born in an ordinary scholarly family, has no noble background, and more importantly, there is only a younger sister in the family, not a brother, so she has no worries about her nouveau riche relatives. The intervention of the new faction and the elite will not shake the current extremely stable political situation.

Moreover, Concubine Zhen is indeed a rare beauty, King Xian has survived for a few more years, otherwise he should be able to survive for a few more years, but this is obviously not something that can be declared.
