"There are still not enough people!"

It was as if he had suffered from mania during this time, and every time Calvin appeared in front of Gregory, he would say this.

However, Gregory also expressed his understanding that even if Moro's 'military academy' had been officially established, and even if the apprentices in the academy could now take on tasks through the 'task bar' and earn a 'small amount' of money by helping the manufacturing department and the research and development department, the two departments still did not have enough manpower.

Due to the long-standing blockade of magical knowledge, they were unable to recruit usable mages from the people, and mechanics was a discipline that had just flourished a few decades ago, and before the steam engine was truly improved and spread, even the aristocracy, few people knew about the existence of this discipline, and even if they did, they would only say "oh" and then lose interest.

A variety of reasons have combined to create the current situation.

If the empire had developed at the original pace, the current R&D and manufacturing departments would not have been so busy, but the existence of the Principality of the Howling Wind and the knowledge brought by the head maid were like a catalyst that almost immediately boosted the development speed of the entire world.

Naturally, the Gordon Empire was also affected, and it was deeply affected.

The arrival of the demon tide is more like a fire, so they must continue to speed up their development, and continue to use the technology and strength in their hands as a 'fire extinguisher' to extinguish this fire, otherwise this fire will burn down their 'house' sooner or later.

There was still some way to go before the Demon Tide reached its peak, but now the threat from the Black Forest was enough to make their empire miserable.

The territory of their empire is too large, the border is too long, if you want to protect the entire empire, you must do your best to resist, and if one point is breached, it may cause the entire defense line to collapse.

In this case, even if most of the students in the academy are from the lower middle class of society, who doesn't like to do some tasks to support their families, so that they can learn a lot and earn money?

However, even so, there are still not enough people in the two departments!

The manufacturing department is just that, more of a 'clerk' who needs to handle affairs, and the rest of the department members who know mechanics can be sent to various parts of the empire to guide the construction of factories.

However, the R&D department is especially in need of 'mages' - in this day and age, only mages have real R&D capabilities.

Although even a mortal on the side of the Principality of Sorrow could participate in research, that country was a special exception, and no other country on the continent of Slo Mendes could do this except for them.

If it weren't for the recent rumors that the Empire was going to sign a peace agreement with the orcs, maybe they would be under even more pressure!

After grunting in frustration, Calvin suddenly asked, "Hey, Gregory, you said that His Majesty decided to sign a peace agreement with the orcs...... Is it true?"

"It should be true. Grigory nodded, "If it weren't true, the reaction of those great nobles wouldn't have been so violent. ”

Having reached this level, both of them knew that there was a deal between the great nobles and some tribes of the orcs, which was the most disgraceful and infuriating thing, but the family power of those great nobles could ensure that they would not be 'held accountable' by anyone after doing such a thing.

Therefore, even Caesar XIII did not dare to make a move on the big nobles easily, only dared to attack the small and medium-sized nobles, and then conceded some interests, trying to win over the big nobles to his side.

The military naturally knows about these things, but they are also helpless against the big nobles, even if they catch a group of smugglers, the big nobles will only indifferently watch the smugglers being executed, and at most push some people out as scapegoats, but nothing will happen to them.

As long as the war with the orcs continues, the great nobles will be able to earn a lot of wealth from it, and the same will be true for many nobles whose territory is close to the orc realm.

Now that Caesar XIII had done something in their interest, they could never have seen such a thing happen.

Calvin was silent for a moment and sighed heavily: "As long as there are enough benefits, there will be people who will take risks to do these things." His Majesty decided to do this for the sake of the soldiers in the Northern Theater, but they didn't know about it, and even wanted to ......"

Gregory's head hung slightly, he looked at his right hand on the cane, his index finger tapped the head of the cane, and suddenly said: "Recently, I am going to visit Marshal Wenders, even if he is now in business, but with his prestige, he will definitely be able to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers." ”

The reason why the soldiers are so boiling is because they want revenge.

It's not uncommon for themselves, their brothers, their loved ones, and even their ancestors to fight orcs for generations, die in battle, or become half-disabled.

The relationship with the orcs has long been filled with indelible hatred, so it is easy to be instigated by vested interests.

They didn't know, or they already knew, that as long as the interests of the orcs weren't squeezed out, the war would never stop.

Even if there is hope of an armistice, vested interests will not let the war stop, because they need benefits, more and more wealth!

Vested interests are insatiable, and if it weren't for the fact that the orc gods no longer see any hope of victory, then this war would still continue.

Not many people want this war to stop, and not many people think about why this war should be stopped - if it goes on, everyone will get what they want, right?

Calvin lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I'll go too! The two of them will go together, as long as they can pull it down, Marshal Wenders will definitely choose to come forward." ”

No matter what happens, they will definitely support the Emperor's approach, because only His Majesty the Emperor is truly thinking about this empire, and the rest of the great nobles ...... It's just a bigger 'worm', as the goddess of progress says.

In fact, the deity's words were too polite, and if they were to do it, they would have called them 'maggots'.

Gregory glanced at him and bowed slightly, "Okay." ”

This is the end of the chatting time, their lunch break is over, and as ministers, they have more responsibilities and more work than the rest of the department.

Getting together and saying two words on weekdays is already a break, and when everyone is busy, it is simply wishful thinking to take a vacation.

Even when his wife was pregnant, Calvin was not able to stop and rest, he had to work in the department during the day, and when he returned at night, he had to do his best to take care of the pregnant woman and meet his wife's requirements.

If it weren't for the fact that Calvin was a transcendent being far more physically than mortals, Gregory was a little skeptical that he would die of overwork.

The Magic Tide has brought them not only negative effects, but also many positive effects.

For example, when teaching magic knowledge, the mastery speed of students has become significantly faster, and perhaps in another half a year, the current batch of freshmen will be able to barely complete some assistant work, which can greatly ease the workload of the R&D department members......

However, it will also take at least half a year or even a year, and they will still be so busy during this half year.

Even in such busy times, they still have to find time to help His Majesty the Emperor accomplish what he wants to accomplish - no one asks them to do it, only they want to do it themselves.

Honestly, if this continues, maybe they will really be able to become the first transcendent to die on the job?
