In the small weapon research building, Yang Lin did not continue to talk to the R&D personnel, but pulled Zhao Xiang to the corridor, where no one disturbed.

"Hey, Zhao Xiang, let me tell you, the three people just now, I'm still a little relieved, I just don't know how to live and manage, if it's just ability, I definitely don't have to say, I'm also relieved. So I want you to take more time out of your normal time to help out in the new building, screen out assistants for them, and help them out. ”

"Marshal, don't worry, didn't I do all these things during your absence? Don't worry, just leave it to me, and you'll be sure to get it right. ”

"Well, with your words, I am relieved."

At this time, Zhao Xiang was silent, his face showed hesitation, Yang Lin saw it in his eyes, knowing that the other party had something to say, but he didn't break it, he didn't rush to ask, and waited for Zhao Xiang to take the initiative to say it. After hesitating, he still said: "Marshal, can you choose someone who is specifically responsible for logistics?" ”

Yang Lin didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "Zhao Xiang, what's wrong?" Why? ”

"Marshal, that's the case, although the mortar is almost perfect now, but I still want to learn more about physics and mechanics, if I take on the logistics of weapon research, I may be a little weak, I don't have so much energy, maybe I will leave something behind, delay things, so"

Instantly understood, understood what Zhao Xiang wanted to express, stretched out his hand to stop him from talking, and said loudly: "I understand what you mean, and this is also to blame me for being too lazy and ignoring that you are also a researcher, and now that there are more and more R&D personnel, I can't leave the logistics to you anymore." ”

"Zhao Xiang, I don't know much about the quality of the personnel here, and I don't know who is qualified for this job. Well, if you work hard for a while, but also keep an eye out to see if there is a suitable person for this task, as long as there is, even if you are appointed, is that okay? ”

Zhao Xiang didn't agree immediately, he was silent, thinking about it, and after a while, he said helplessly: "It's only like this." ”

"By the way, Marshal, this time I came to the weapon research building, are you looking for something with me?"

As soon as the topic changed, Yang Lin's heavy mood just now dissipated, and there was still some seriousness in his words, and he asked: "Zhao Xiang, how many birds, machine guns and mortars do we have in our hands now?" Is it enough to arm all the soldiers outside? ”

His face darkened, and he said with some shame: "Marshal, it's not enough, there are only more than a hundred bird guns, eight machine guns, and five mortars." I'm sorry, Marshal, for failing to live up to your trust, these are far from enough to equip the soldiers outside. ”

"Ah~ so little? Zhao Xiang, what's going on? What went wrong? ”

"That's right, if the iron you brought with you was the kind of ordinary bird gun you used to make, you could have made hundreds more. However, because the iron used in the perfected bird guns had to be refined, as well as machine guns and mortars, the iron they needed was even more refined. Otherwise, the serial guns, bird guns, machine guns, and mortars that are produced will either not be used for a long time, or they will not be usable. ”

"I see, I don't blame you for this, it's my reason, and the raw materials provided are not enough. Well, if you wait a little longer, I will look for more iron raw materials in the shortest possible time, and you will be in charge of things here first. ”

"Well, marshal, that's all there is to it." Zhao Xiang sighed helplessly and replied weakly.

Seeing Zhao Xiang's dejected appearance, Yang Lin was a little ashamed, the big and small matters within the followers were basically handled by the other party, and he was simply a shopkeeper who threw his hands away, didn't care about anything, and was even more apologetic in his heart.

At this time, as if thinking of something, Yang Lin said mysteriously: "Zhao Xiang, guess what I brought back to you when I came back this time?" ”

"Eh~ Marshal, every time you bring back something is strange and unexpected, how can I guess?"

"Okay, I'm not going to sell it, I'll tell you directly. Throw out the chemistry and biology stuff of the trio, and there are your favorite physics and mechanics books inside. In addition, there is a complete set of equipment. ”

In an instant, Zhao Xiang, who was originally sluggish and in poor spirits, heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, radiant, and said again and again: "Marshal, what you said is true? Are you sure you didn't lie to me? ”

"Hehe, what are you lying to~, have I lied to you before?" Seeing Zhao Xiang's mood improve, he couldn't help but feel better.

At this time, Zhao Xiang's honest and restless temperament reappeared, becoming cramped and uneasy, his face was full of crampedness, seeing this situation, Yang Lin said loudly: "Zhao Xiang, you go, it just so happens that I am also leaving." ”

"Marshal, why don't I send you off first, and then go to the new building."

"Come on, I don't know you yet, although you are already in your thirties, but you still have that fiery character, you don't need to accompany me, I will leave by myself, you go."

"Okay, marshal, I won't be angry with you, let's go first, and see what kind of physics and mechanical books they are!"

Then, Zhao Xiang trotted and disappeared from Yang Lin's field of vision in the blink of an eye. Shaking his head and smiling slightly, Yang Lin also strode away, finding a place where no one was, and disappeared into the followers in an instant, appearing in the real world, in the study.

Lying on the desk, falling into silence, Yang Lin began to think seriously, thinking about how to get a large amount of iron, gunpowder and other items.

Time passed gradually, second by second, thinking about it for more than an hour, Yang Lin still didn't have any clue, his mind couldn't help but rise, his heart became restless, he stood up, and paced back and forth in the room to make up for it.

Just when Yang Lin was impatient, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Xiao's familiar voice came.

"Young master, just now a servant sent a document, saying that it needs your approval, and it will be used tomorrow, which is very urgent."

Although he was very impetuous, impatient, and in no mood to review the text, Yang Lin still held back his patience and said softly: "Then take it in." ”

A squeak sounded when the door was pushed, and Yang Xiao walked in, seeing that the young master's face was not very good, he didn't dare to make a mistake, he didn't laugh with Yang Lin as before, slowly walked to the desk, put down the text, and said in a low voice: "Young master, I'll put the text here." ”

"Well, I know, you go out first, I want to be alone, if there is nothing important, don't disturb me. I'll go out for dinner, don't call me anymore. ”

"Okay, young master, I'll go first."

Yang Xiao walked very lightly, left quickly, and gently closed the door. Seeing Yang Xiao leave, Yang Lin still looked restless, walked to the desk, stood there, read the text impatiently with one hand, picked up the brush with the other, and was ready to take a casual look, if there was nothing, it would be approved.

However, as he browsed further, Yang Lin's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and a trace of excitement began to emerge, becoming more and more intense.

Then, I saw Yang Lin quickly unfold the text, all the content in it jumped on the paper, Yang Lin's eyes bloomed with crystal light, more and more blazing, when he finished reading all the content, Yang Lin couldn't help laughing, the previous worries disappeared, and he was full of joy.

"Ha~ha~, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, God help me!"

At this moment, it is not difficult to see that Yang Lin is in a good mood, and he looks out the window with smugness, and finds that it is approaching night, and it will be time for dinner. Then, with a stroke of the pen, he approved the content of the text, and after stamping the official seal, he strode out of the study and went straight to the dining place. (To be continued.) )
