Fang Xiaoyu, who had already walked out of the courtyard, didn't know that Liu Aiping's arrival was to see his son-in-law, and he didn't know that he had just been ten years old when he was set to get married, and if he knew it, he would definitely shout that marriage was free. At this time, Fang Xiaoyu had already hurried back to his room, and the news brought to him by Aunt Ping had already given him a sense of urgency, he needed to raise Xiaofeng's level as soon as possible, and he couldn't lose at the starting line of the industrial revolution.

Lying on the bed, Fang Xiaoyu concentrated and began to communicate with Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng, you are not there. "Master, may I ask what is the matter?" Xiaofeng immediately agreed. "I'm going to give you an upgrade now, what do you need to do." The last time he didn't know what was going on with Lu Dao, the silver coins in his pocket disappeared, so he didn't know what Lu Dao should do.

"Just hold the precious metal in your hand, and I'll use the Materialization Skill to incorporate it into my chip." Xiaofeng replied. Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly took out the money bag containing the silver coins, poured out the silver coins, piled them on the bed, held the silver coins with both hands, and stared at them with wide eyes. Something incredible happened, I saw that the silver coins between Fang Xiaoyu's hands actually began to melt and evaporate, but the bedding below did not change in the slightest.

In Fang Xiaoyu's amazement, after a minute, one hundred and forty-three silver coins had disappeared without a trace. "Ding." A soft sound sounded in Fang Xiaoyu's mind: "Fengyun No. 1 has been successfully upgraded, and now the level is level 1, the scientific research capacity has increased by 200%, the equipment library area has increased by 10,000%, the scanning radius has increased by 1,000%, and the light industry equipment library has been opened." "It's really cool, Fang Xiaoyu sighed: "Xiaofeng, don't talk about those increased percentages, just tell me your current ability." "For those percentages, Fang Xiaoyu has no idea.

"At present, my scientific research ability is equivalent to the research speed of ten scientists in the development of 20% of the brain domain, and the light industry equipment library has been opened, and the area of the two equipment libraries is currently 10,000 square meters for agricultural equipment and 100 square meters for light industry equipment. The scanning radius is sixty kilometers. Fang Xiaoyu asked with some excitement: "How many precious metals do I need if I upgrade the chip to the second level?" "After knowing that a steam engine had appeared in the Western Continent, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to start researching heavy industry immediately, but Xiao Feng's answer immediately made Fang Xiaoyu discouraged." Report to the master, the Fengyun No. 1 chip needs ten kilograms of gold to be upgraded to the second level, or one hundred kilograms of silver. ”

"A hundredfold increase." Fang Xiaoyu was completely speechless, it seems that the only way now is to vigorously develop light industry and agriculture, and gather funds as soon as possible to start developing heavy industry. "What is the current state of agricultural technology?" Fang Xiaoyu needs to understand what advantages he has now.

"Now the main research direction is grain, and the five kinds of grain have reached the second level, of which the highest yield per mu of rice is 400 kilograms, wheat 200 kilograms, corn 370 kilograms, potatoes 800 kilograms, and sweet potatoes 600 kilograms.

Other wild plants have been artificially planted with 27 varieties such as sugar beet, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, eggplant, etc., but the grades are all first-class, and the yield is not high. In addition, beef cattle, dairy cows, broilers, and laying hens have all reached the third level, and the improvement is more than three times. At the same time, miscellaneous categories are also developed that are not subject to any restrictions, including the martial arts class Bajiquan and the tree type Populus euphratica Level 2. ”

Listening to Fang Xiaoyu in front of him, he nodded secretly, but when he heard it, he was strange: "Xiaofeng, who asked you to study Bajiquan and Populus euphratica, how can this research still have a level, and how can you see this thing that can be studied." Fang Xiaoyu asked a series of questions.

Xiaofeng replied one by one: "The chip has research points, and if the master's points are not exhausted, the chip will decide the research direction on its own." The research level is a measure of the research level of the technology, as for the ability to see, you need to upgrade to the second level to open the technology tree to see, and the research level is also displayed on the technology tree. ”

"And the tech tree." Fang Xiaoyu was a little excited, this chip is becoming more and more like a computer game system: "How can you see the research points?" "Chip Level 2 is required to remove the hidden state of the research points." Xiaofeng replied meticulously. It seems that he needs to make money as soon as possible and improve his level, Fang Xiaoyu sighed secretly, he carefully set a new research direction, and only stopped after making sure that the research points had been exhausted.

After upgrading the chip, Fang Xiaoyu slept peacefully on his soft bed. It's been a long time since I've slept so peacefully, and living in a 'collective dormitory' with Lin Feng and others these days has enhanced the relationship between each other a lot, but the hard bed is far worse than my own soft velvet mattress, but the value of the velvet cushion used in my bed is not low, and there is no possibility of promotion at all, which makes Fang Xiaoyu consider whether to let Xiaofeng get the spring mattress out first, it must be very popular.

It's a pity that the research points are limited now, Fang Xiaoyu wants to put the research direction on the most profitable direction, he understands that he was not very old before the crossing, and he was too obsessed with warships and firearms, and he didn't know much about other aspects of knowledge, if he didn't have Xiaofeng, I am afraid that he would not have the possibility of rising quickly.

No matter what, Fang Xiaoyu now has a great sense of urgency. Fang Xiaoyu, who had a good night's sleep and had a hearty breakfast, was ready to leave for Xia Mansion. At this moment, a maid came to tell him that the eldest master was invited. Although Fang Xiaoyu was surprised that the eldest grandfather had something to do with him so early, since the eldest grandfather told him that he was definitely going to go.

When I came to the large living room where my grandfather was hospitalized, three old people were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Two of them are Fang Xiaoyu's grandfather Fang Rui and his own grandfather Fang Wei, and the other old man has snow-white hair, a tall figure, a thick beard, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and two bright eyes staring directly at Fang Xiaoyu who had just entered the door, as if he wanted to see through him. This old man's whole body is full of the coercion of the superiors, and he has the unique coldness of a soldier, which makes people look at it with a lot of pressure. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu coming in, Fang Wei smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, come and see Grandpa Xia." ”

"Xia Jun." After his grandfather's introduction, the name immediately flashed in Fang Xiaoyu's mind. Xia Jun is now the head of the three major marshals of the Lanfang Empire, and the patriarch of the Xia family, the second of the four major families in the empire. Among the fifty-three armies of the regular army of the empire, Xia Jun's nephews and protégés controlled thirty-nine of them, and even in the capital, the head of the garrison officers of the four cities was also from the Xia family.

Speaking of Xia Jun is definitely a legendary-level figure, in 835 years of the Taiyuan calendar, the invasion of the Monte Kingdom, the two sides fought in Yinchuan Mansion, at the most critical moment of the battle, Xia Jun, who was only twenty years old, led the only cavalry regiment under his command, quickly interspersed from the left flank of the battle formation, broke through the encirclement of nearly 100,000 enemy troops, and killed the Marshal of the Monte State Marshal Abate, making the Monte National Front foot chaos by the Lanfang Army Brigade, with a loss of 270,000 people. In this battle, Xia Jun was covered in blood, with seven bullets in his body, and only more than 300 of the 1,500 cavalry under his command came back alive, which was Xia Jun's first rise.

Eight years later, Xia Jun, who was already a military commander, once again led the team to win more with less with the technique of luring the enemy, and wiped out all the 120,000 rebels in Tubo County, which shocked the entire Eastern Continent at that time. In 847 of the Taiyuan calendar, Xia Jun led his troops out again, and drove straight into the eleven cities of Lianke Kokand, causing him to be defeated and surrendered, and the land was ceded and reparated, and there are many such deeds. The 65-year-old Xia Jun has been the head of the three army marshals for 24 years, which can be said to be the longest reigning field marshal in the history of the Lanfang Empire. It is said that Xia Jun's third son, Xia Yu, has won the true inheritance of his father, and has now become the lord of Loulan County in the northwest of the Xia family's traditional power by virtue of his military exploits.

Seeing such a legendary figure in the empire, Fang Xiaoyu was naturally a little unnatural, but he covered it up well, just smiled slightly, and bowed and said, "Hello, Grandpa Xia." Xia Jun retracted his intimidating gaze and nodded: "Well, this kid is good, he is a good seedling, I don't know if you are reluctant to put him in the army to exercise." Fang Rui smiled: "Of course, I can't ask for it, but this child is too young, when he reaches the age of sixteen, I will send him to the army." ”

Xia Jun smiled: "It doesn't take so long, I think I joined the army at the age of twelve, and I was already a company commander when I was sixteen years old." Fang Wei smiled and said: "Marshal Xia is a generation of heroes, who can compare with you." Xia Jun shook his head and said: "I never praise people easily, but in my opinion, this child's future achievements should be above me, if he wants, he can now take a post in our army, and when he is older, he will leave the army." ”

Now Fang Xiaoyu urgently needs a platform for development, and he is very happy to hear Xia Jun's proposal. Without waiting for the two grandfathers to say anything, Fang Xiaoyu replied: "Since Grandpa Xia doesn't dislike it, Fang Xiaoyu is willing to join the army." Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's determined expression, Xia Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Grandpa Wu Wei smiled: "That's great, thank you Marshal Xia for cultivating." Fang Rui also smiled and nodded: "Xiao Yu, this is about to break Marshal Xia's record for the youngest age in the army." Xia Jun smiled: "He has this qualification." Xiaoyu, I heard that your method of training in that farm is very unique, and you have the opportunity to learn from me. ”

As soon as Fang Xiaoyu heard Xia Jun's words, he immediately understood that this old man had to turn himself into the army for something, he was surprised by the intelligence system mastered by this field marshal, and he didn't expect that his training in a remote farm could reach his ears so quickly.

After listening to Xia Jun's words, Wu Wei suddenly remembered: "Xiaoyu, I heard that you took over the farm in Lanting Mountain?" "Oh?" After listening to Wu Wei's words, Fang Rui glanced at Fang Xiaoyu differently and said, "Xiaoyu, you are still interested in the farm." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Grandpa, I just want to try my management ability, and by the way, I will experiment with my ideas in agriculture, mainly to improve seeds." ”

"Do you have research in agriculture?" Xia Jun looked at Fang Xiaoyu with some surprise. Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, "It's just on paper, so I want to experiment." In fact, in addition to agriculture, I also have a bit of research in the military industry. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said this deliberately, after he knew that the steam engine had been invented in the Western Continent, he knew that the industrial revolution in the Western Continent had begun, and in order to buy time for his rise, he had to strengthen the military strength of the Lanfang Empire. And in this era when there are no heavy weapons, the advanced or not of the rifle greatly determines the combat effectiveness of a force, the head of the field marshal, must have a great say in the military industry, if he can influence him, to the Imperial Army with more advanced rifles, should be able to form a certain military advantage over the surrounding enemies for a period of time, conducive to their own development in industry and agriculture, and even if the emperor intends to expand the territory, he still has the hope of obtaining military merits.
