I never expected that this kind of work would have the effect of broadening the mind and increasing imagination, so Liu Xuan never thought about it in that direction.

In his eyes, even if it is really to expand his mind or improve his imagination, it seems that he should be a writer rather than an editor.

Anyway, Huang Yueying took out her design drawings, and the next thing to solve was whether she could turn everything on this drawing into reality.

"It's hard!"

Not to mention anything else, the all-metal construction is not something that can be solved by the current people with one hand. Although in the past few years, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have begun to familiarize themselves with and master those novel magic weapons, but now they are only standing on the edge of the threshold, barely a beginner, and if they want to get their hands on more complex or powerful tools, it is estimated that there will be many problems.

"You can first recruit a group of craftsmen with flexible brains, and then build only one, experimental, and don't expect this ship to be perfect, in short, let them adapt to the new way of working, and then build a second one, and then use these people as the basis to bring apprentices and disciples......"

"Well, that's a way!"

Liu Xuan has actually been doing this method, and the effect was good before, but it doesn't make sense that it won't work this time, so he still does it.

When the matter was settled, Liu Xuan sat there and looked at Huang Yueying with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What?"

Huang Yueying, who was uncomfortable by Liu Xuan, felt like a frog stared at by a poisonous snake...... Ahh

This feeling is not very good, Huang Yueying subconsciously covered her front with her arms: "I'm telling you, I'm not an adult yet!"

Liu Xuan laughed: "I'm not interested in your current body, I'm thinking about another thing!"

"What?"

"If I put you in charge of the Refining Division, what kind of results will you be able to achieve in ten years?"

Hearing that Liu Xuan actually intended to put himself in charge of today's top research and manufacturing, institutions, Huang Yueying's already shining eyes instantly burst into a light that was difficult to look at.

That look was even more uncomfortable than Liu Xuan looking at Huang Yueying just now.

"What you said is true?"

Liu Xuan nodded.

Huang Yueying's eyes became brighter, like two small light bulbs: "Then when can I take over?"

At present, the refining department is under the jurisdiction of Li Su under the Jiangzuo Temple, but in fact, the people in charge are Sima Yi and Shi Daoren.

Among them, the normal affairs even include the division of task arrangements, the transfer of personnel and the allocation of materials, Sima Yi is also recognized by the imperial court as a refining priest, which belongs to the regular establishment of the imperial court.

Shi Daoren's name is not in the list of court officials, and he is in charge of a similar kind of consultant work.

Among the monks recruited by the imperial court, Shi Daoren's cultivation was undoubtedly the highest, and he also studied the various skills taught by Liu Xuan the most thoroughly, so he took up this position, helping out when needed, solving some problems, and usually just meditating on cultivation - this is also the life he has always wanted.

In other words, Shi Daoren should not actually be counted in the Refining Division, and Sima Yi is the only supervisor. But Huang Yueying knew what level of talent Sima Yi was, how could Liu Xuan think of replacing Sima Yi with himself? Not to mention that he was only in his teens, and if he wanted to take over the refining department, he would probably arouse many people's objections?...,

If this question had been placed a few years ago, it would not have been any problem: the ministers of the imperial court thought that the Refining Division was just something that the Son of Heaven had played with for a while, and it was just an existence for his own amusement, and they would not care who was the chief official of such a department and who was responsible for recruiting people.

But as the changes in the past few years have gradually come to fruition, the princes of the imperial court have gradually understood that the original arrangement of the Son of Heaven was not for himself, but for the sake of the entire Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the treasures that the Refining Division has taken out one after another in the past few years have also made them understand how powerful and important the Refining Division is, and the last thing they are afraid of in this position is that there is no merit - Sima Yi has already laid a good foundation for the Refining Division, and Li Su's existence can also ensure that all kinds of materials needed by the Refining Division will be delivered as soon as possible. The importance of the Son of Heaven made it even more so that the Refining Division did not have to fear being suppressed.

Now that the news is going to be released that the Son of Heaven is preparing to change the chief official of the Refining Division, I am afraid that many people will have to grab their heads for this position, even the important ministers who sit in the top few positions of the court will not be without a reaction, and will definitely try their best to arrange their own people into it.

Under such circumstances, although Huang Yueying didn't care much about the affairs of the court, she also knew how much impact it would have if the news of her taking over the refining department spread.

Age, gender, and so on are enough reasons for everyone to attack her, even if everyone knows that the Son of Heaven likes her, but so what? Don't say it's just a little girl, even if she is really the concubine of the Son of Heaven, those ministers will definitely not take a step back when it comes to interests.

"Those issues don't need to be considered, you just have to think about how to make the refining division play a bigger role!"

Seeing that Huang Yueying was becoming more and more silent, and the light in her eyes was gradually dimming, Liu Xuan immediately guessed her concern: "That refining division was originally set up by me, and I can deal with it as I want."

There is another sentence that Liu Xuan didn't say, that is, 'Whoever wants to have an opinion and feels uncomfortable, can get out!, he feels that it is useless to say this, and it is more convincing to make it.

As for another question, Liu Xuan also took the opportunity to give an answer: "Sima Yi still has one task in his hand, which is to arrange the formation map in the palace, and when he finishes this, he can go to the forbidden army to report." ”

To the Forbidden Army?

Huang Yueying was still thinking about how Liu Xuan would arrange Sima Yi's talent just now, it turned out that he was going to lead the troops? This is good, it is better to give full play to Sima Yi's ability, it is better than doing research here--besides, she has not heard that Sima Yi is good at these things.

In fact, it is almost the same, although Sima Yi has been in the refining department for a few years, but he has done administrative work, although after several years of practice and study, he is not completely ignorant of this aspect, but after all, he lacks talent in this area.

In addition, Liu Xuan didn't want him to develop further in this area, so seeing that Sima Yi was about the same age, he hurriedly transferred him out to a position that was more suitable for him to give full play to his ability.

As for the refining department, after Huang Yueying takes over, he will be able to make the refining department a research institute completely, and as for the administrative work, he will completely hand it over to Li Su or the master craftsman.

What's more, this refining division doesn't have so many miscellaneous things, even if Huang Yueying is asked to do it, she won't necessarily be able to do it well. It's just a matter of who's in charge of what project, sending them a few suitable assistants, and then distributing the materials to the people who need them.

These things are actually traceable, even if the brain is not flexible, as long as it is done step by step, not to mention Huang Yueying's brain is very flexible. ...,

Speaking of this, there is no need to talk nonsense, Huang Yueying's takeover of the refining department is almost a foregone conclusion, although Sima Yi has not stepped down yet, and Liu Xuan has not issued an edict to the outside world.

But both men understood that this matter would not change again.

So the two gradually turned the conversation elsewhere.

"By the way, I heard that Sun Ce and Liu Biao had a fight?"

Huang Yueying still had the habit of calling her by her name, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and Liu Xuan didn't care, so after so many years, she didn't have anything at all

"The fight has started, and judging from the news I have gotten so far, Sun Ce has a slight upper hand!"

This situation is not surprising, although Sun Ce has Yu Ji's help, and at the same time, several of his cronies and generals have been taught to a certain extent, plus Yu Ji has also taught some magical methods, which has improved Sun Cejun's combat effectiveness a lot.

But after all, it is not as all-round as here in the imperial court, and there is no change in weapons and equipment from before, so although it can take advantage after the real fight, the advantage can never be exchanged for victory.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been more than a dozen large and small water battles on the Yangtze River, but Sun Ce has never been able to completely defeat the Jiangxia naval army, and with the arrival of reinforcements from Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places, it can be met that this battle will continue longer, maybe Sun Ce will not be able to break through the Yangtze River defense line in a year and a half.

However, Liu Xuan felt that it would not drag on for so long, Sun Ce started a war against Liu Biao in order to take Jingzhou while the imperial court was still busy with a bunch of trivial matters, and he must have the means to avoid entering a standoff situation.

"It is estimated that it will be used after a while, it is difficult to say elsewhere, Jiangxia will definitely be lost!"

After conquering Jiangxia, and then concentrating forces to attack Jiangling and completely occupy the north bank of the Yangtze River, the process of fighting may be much faster.

To be honest, there are really no capable people under Liu Biao, and the few really capable generals are still in a situation of being excluded. The one who really took the shot was a clerk.

Liu Xuan really couldn't think of how Liu Biao could stop the group of generals under Sun Ce, not to mention that while he was weak in generals, he was also not good at the strength of Jingzhou soldiers in terms of soldiers.

All these factors add up, and Sun Ce's defeat of Jingzhou seems to be a matter of no suspense.

"Then Jingzhou will let the Sun family take it?"

"Of course not!" Although Liu Xuan hoped that Sun Ce would severely harm Jingzhou, he didn't want to send Jingzhou to Sun Ce. Moreover, considering that Sun Ce is very good at controlling the local family gate valve, he also has to avoid those guys in Jingzhou from taking the initiative to surrender when they see the situation is critical.

Therefore, he must decisively intervene when the war has reached a certain point.

"So, I'm already preparing to send troops to Nanyang!"
