After saying goodbye to Jiang Yan and Yun Ling, Wen Jiming left the Wen Mansion in a carriage and headed for the Magic Research Institute.

The air in the Ming Empire was still quite cold in January, and even more so today, which caused pedestrians on the streets to be much sparser than usual.

The whistle of a railway train came from farther east, and it was clear that there was a long-distance train from another state capital, which had just arrived at the modern railway station in the Magic New City at this time.

By the end of last year, 45 of the 82 state capitals of 16 provinces across the country had already been connected to trains, and the remaining 30 or so state capitals will all be opened to traffic in the first half of this year.

Last year was a very lucky year for Wen Jiming himself.

The Ming Empire not only seized the rivers and mountains of Great Xia, but also invested a lot of money in the construction in the second half of the year, but at the end of the year, the entire government revenue and annual expenditure were barely equal, and the expenditure was only five million gold yuan more than the income.

Wen Jiming shouted luck after learning the news, and at the same time, he also felt that the pressure on his body was finally reduced a lot.

At present, on the books of the household department of the Ming government, there are nearly 2 billion gold yuan of financial funds.

This year's planned government expenditure is set at 500 million gold dollars, half of which will be spent on infrastructure construction, and the rest will be spent on education, government agency expenditures, scientific and technological research, and military expenditures.

Therefore, the military expenditure of the Ming Empire this year is set at 85 million gold yuan, so that the army of the Ming Dynasty can recruit recruits from two reorganized regiments this year, so that the total number of army corps of the Ming Empire will reach 12 regiments.

The attitude of the military department is obviously much more satisfied with this result than it was last year.

Because, as long as the Ming Dynasty has twelve legions, it can completely make the border defense force of the Ming Empire no longer tight!

Because since September last year, some countries adjacent to the border with the Ming Empire have repeatedly made a lot of tentative moves when the Ming Dynasty has just occupied the territory of Daxia and the law and order is still unstable.

According to the statistics of the Ming Military Department, during last year, a total of thirteen neighboring countries had military conflicts with the Ming Empire at the junction with the Ming Dynasty because of border issues.

Therefore, the warmongers in the Ministry of War recorded all these incidents and prepared to settle accounts with these countries in the future.

Wen Jiming, who was sitting in the carriage thinking about the problem, was finally interrupted by the guard who was driving the carriage in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the Institute of Magic has arrived."

Hearing the call of the guards, Wen Jiming stood up, opened the door and prepared to step off his magic speed.

As soon as the door opened, a cold air stream blew in front of you.

Fortunately, Wen Jiming is a high-level professional, and this temperature difference is nothing to him.

The parking lot of the Institute of Magic is currently empty.

It seems that everyone is hiding in the warm building to escape the cold.

Now the Ming Empire has a variety of heating technologies, and the magic research institute is equipped with the latest type of magic electricity integrated central air conditioning system, so the entire research institute building is naturally very warm.

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Jiming entered the door of the institute, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, which immediately drove away the cold air of everyone, including Wen Jiming.

Leaving the few guards who followed him to wait in the hall on the first floor, Wen Jiming walked down the stairs alone to the second floor of the research institute.

Isn't it time to build a new building for the Institute of Magic?

The old-fashioned, two-story building is now noticeably a bit cramped.

Wen Jiming saw the staff coming and going on the stairs, and suddenly had this idea.

Think about it, this institute has a history of several years now, before the establishment of the Ming Empire, this institute has produced a lot of benefits for Wen Jiming, and now it is even more than it used to be, and the personnel are naturally many times more.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to build a real building for the Institute of Magic.

After all, in two years, Wen Jiming will reform the government structure of the Ming Empire, and a fresh department like the Ministry of Science and Technology is naturally indispensable.

When Wen Jiming entered Aristock's laboratory, he found that all the people in the research room were gone, and in the entire laboratory, there was only one young man he had never seen who was busy non-stop.

When Wen Jiming walked up to this young man and looked at what he was busy with, the scene in front of him actually gave Wen Jiming an illusion!

For a moment, he actually thought that he had entered a computer repair shop on Earth!

This young man is actually assembling a computer!

And next to him, there is a stack of computer software and hardware books conjured up by Wen Jiming!

Oh my God! What exactly did I see, a computer genius from another world?

Yuri Ulyanov had just taken it apart, and the electronic product that the other staff members called a computer was assembled, and was about to debug it to see if he had installed it correctly, when he suddenly felt someone watching behind him!

He turned his head to look and saw that it was a handsome boy who was younger than he looked.

Yuri thought it might be some recent graduate of the Vocational Academy who had come to Aristock. So he asked enthusiastically.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Wen Jiming saw that the other party didn't know him, but he was a little happy, so he replied with a smile.

"I'm here to find Master Aristock, where have they gone?"

When Yuri Ulyanov heard that he was really looking for Aristock, he explained to Wen Jiming.

"Aristok went to the special factory in the eastern suburbs, everyone here went with him, there was a little problem with the aircraft being built in the factory, they all went to see together, and by the way, to see what could be improved."

Wen Jiming got two conclusions from his words, first of all, he did not call Aristock a master, indicating that this young man's professional level was not much lower than Aristock.

Wen Jiming glanced at him carefully, and sure enough, it looked like he should be an eighth-order magician.

Another point is that he already knows the name of the plane, which means that he has been favored by Aristock, otherwise it is impossible for him to be left alone in the laboratory, after all, there are many items in it that are classified as secrets.

So, Wen Jiming began to set up Yuri's origins.

"I haven't seen you here before, you've only been here for a long time, haven't you?"

As soon as Yuri Ulyanov heard this, he knew that this young man was very familiar with Alistock, otherwise how could he know that he was a newcomer, and it was probably the child of Aristock's friend, so he replied out of sight.

"That's right, I just arrived here not long after the Continent of Corleone, I come from a family of magicians, I came here specifically to learn new knowledge, I am very interested in these electronic products, these are very interesting things, it really opened my eyes!"

Wen Jiming didn't expect his words at all, so he actually asked about the entire origin of this person, and this young man obviously has a great passion for electronic products, which undoubtedly makes Wen Jiming more interested in him!

"Oh, you like these electronics, too, and so do I, we both have similar hobbies."

Yuri Ulyanov immediately became excited when he heard this.

"Really? That's great, I just suspect that I might not be doing the right thing, come over and help me debug it. ”

So without saying a word, he turned on the installed computer.

As the machine turned on, Wen Jiming's familiar interface appeared in front of his eyes again!

It's been a long time since I've touched a computer!

Wen Jiming couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for his games, videos and those online accounts.

Yuri Ulyanov said to Wen Jiming while trying to operate.

"I found that there are so many functions here, and now they can't be used, according to our dictionary, it seems that they have to go to some network, it's really strange, it is said that these are all conjured up by Your Majesty, and they belong to things from the future, Your Majesty is really amazing!"

Wen Jiming was a little embarrassed by Yuri Ulyanov's praise in person, so he began to play sloppy.

"Oh, something in the future, it's even more worth studying, maybe we'll come up with this thing called the Internet in the future, right?"

Yuri Ulyanov slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"That's right! That's what I thought! Finally there is a person who thinks the same as me, and everyone else knows a little about this thing, and I don't even understand how to install it, so I think this thing is not difficult! ”

Then he pointed to the books on the table.

"It's really hard to make those programming and hardware, but I feel like I'll figure it out sooner or later!"

After Wen Jiming heard the energetic words of the young Yuri Ulyanov, the dragon's heart was instantly happy!
