In the same way, more income means more consumption, but fortunately, the development of the territory has gradually been on the right track, and it will not be a unilateral investment.

The cement plant has been producing continuously, albeit inefficiently, but there is already a considerable number of them, for which Lane has plans to use it further.

The production of the steel mill is on track, and thanks to the continuous investment of Hevean, it is now able to meet the needs of the entire territory and have a surplus, and the next step is to export iron products.

You must know that the southern border has always been short of minerals, and the region with the widest mineral distribution, the largest output, and the most advanced technology in the entire kingdom is the western border, and the southern border is mainly based on agriculture.

With Lintonshire's back, Lane could sell his goods further afield, while steel was always a sought-after commodity, a necessity for many nobles.

In addition, there are several good veins in the Chert Territory, including one that produces gemstones, which is scarce but has a high value.

In addition, there is a black iron mine, a small copper mine, and a large coal mine, which are not measurable by money, and are important cornerstones for the development of the territory.

In addition, Hervian also mentioned the proposal to reorganize the government department for the first time, which Lane did not expect, after all, this is his own basic plan.

Ryan did not say anything on the spot, but set his sights on Delai.

Delai organized the language and said: "I have reported to you about the battle, and I will not repeat it for the time being, I will mainly report the following points today......

During this time, Delai was naturally not idle, and he reformulated the training methods and content of the army during this time, basically benchmarking the border army.

In addition, he set up a new battalion, and according to his ideas, the recruits recruited in the future will be uniformly entered into the recruit battalion for intensive training ranging from three months to six months.

Then, according to the performance of the training and the specialties shown, they will be assigned to the existing three battalions for further running-in.

To put it simply, at present, the three battalions of the First Army Corps, the first and the second are field troops, which can be said to be the main army, and both the actual combat experience and quality of the soldiers surpass the city defense battalion.

Soldiers above the level of the recruit battalion will be assigned priority to these two battalions, while the rest will be assigned to the city defense battalion as a second-line force.

Lane's idea was that in the future, the first and second battalions would be expanded into field regiments, which would be the main force on the front line and responsible for foreign campaigns. The city defense battalion was transformed into a second-line garrison force, with functions similar to patrols, mainly responsible for maintaining law and order, urban defense, etc.

At present, Ryan is sitting on two territories, and the original troops are more difficult to garrison, so the expansion plan is imminent.

The new barracks Delai has been formed for more than half a year, but it has been relatively conservative, and it is currently less than seven hundred, and after careful consideration, Ryan decided to expand the new barracks to two thousand people, that is, the size of two battalions.

The main composition of the army is mainly composed of the former Kanna subjects with the highest loyalty, supplemented by the refugees and Chert subjects.

After all, the construction of the army needs to be considered by many parties, and the people who have just joined the army are unstable, and Lane is not at ease when he uses it.

In this way, the total strength of the First Army Corps reached more than 5,000 people, and the establishment of this legion was finally worthy of the name.

If it is normal, this conscription ratio is a bit large, more than 60,000 people and 5,000 people joined the army, almost to the point of 12:1, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a poor soldier.

Fortunately, the population composition of the border territories is relatively special, especially in the territory where refugees are the majority, such as the Kanna territory, and the majority of the population is young and middle-aged.

That's why Ryan was able to grit his teeth and expand his army without delaying the development of the territory.

In the future, the main defensive direction of the territory will be changed from Dorman City to Chelt City, and the permanent army will reach three battalions.

The meeting was carried out in an orderly manner, and the heads of the main departments took turns to report.

For example, the financial officer Fitrol said that during this year, he organized several caravans directly under the territory, and sold various specialties of the territory to various regions of the province, and achieved great results.

Kwill also reported on the progress of the magical plants he was responsible for, most of which had a bumper harvest, and selected the best seeds for multiple sowings.

With his special ability to give birth to plants, he has completed the multi-generation planting of seeds on a mother plant. In other words, the seeds produced by the first generation of plants are selected and sown for propagation to study the heritability of plants.

After all, these magic plants were all catalyzed and mutated by Ryan's special means, and no one knows if their next generation will be able to achieve this effect.

If not, then it means that they are not widely available, and if they can, then it will be an epoch-making discovery.

Take magic wheat as an example, although they are not particularly different from ordinary wheat in appearance, the effect produced after consumption is different, according to Kewell's experiment, long-term consumption of magic wheat will slowly improve a person's physical fitness.

Although this experiment has only been conducted for less than two years, the experimenters have changed a lot from the past, and if you zoom in to years or even decades, it will be a very impressive data.

Even taking into account the effect decay, this is quite remarkable, because it represents a step forward in the life level of ordinary humans.

And the improvement of physical fitness will also affect their next generation, so these newborns are really winning at the starting line, and Kewell has recently been considering whether to let the experimenter have a child to study.

Back to the topic, according to his many selections and breeding, after more than fifty experiments, it was confirmed that these magic plants can be stably inherited, although there is no genetics, genes or anything, but the truth is about the same.

And there is also an unexpected discovery, that is, some seeds grow from plants that are not only perfectly genetic, but even surpass the mother plant. This is reflected in a number of ways, some are more productive, some are growing faster, and some are more effective...... Wait a minute.

This gave Kwell a new direction of research, so in addition to his report, he wanted to ask Ryan to build a laboratory like Liman's, specializing in magical plants.

Ryan took this very seriously, and after careful consideration, finally agreed to his application, approving the construction of the first Institute of Magical Plants, codenamed Laboratory II.

And Liman's rune lab is codenamed Lab One.

Lane's ambition can be seen from the code name, and he will attract more talents and set up more laboratories in the future!

However, the next person to stand up and report surprised Ryan a little, and that was the person in charge of the alchemy potion workshop, who basically had no sense of existence, Turner.

If you want to talk about the establishment of the alchemy potion workshop, you have to start with Liman, a half-baked alchemist, as the first workshop established by Ryan, its contribution to the early stage of the territory is indelible.

After all, in this world without a medical system, these miracle potions that can treat injuries are lifesavers, and in more than two years, the potions produced by the workshop have saved an unknown number of people.

It was only for some objective reasons that the workshop gradually lost its presence after Liman set up his own laboratory.

Turner was one of the assistants assigned to Liman at the beginning, and he had a brilliant mind and obtained the true inheritance of making alchemical potions, and Liman has been on top of him since he picked the son, and as the demand for the potion increased day by day, he also brought out a group of excellent apprentices and expanded the scale.

But the more this happened, the more unwilling Turner became, because he was tired of the work of the assembly line to produce the only two alchemical potions.

He is a man who loves to delve into it, and he has a keen interest in alchemy, and he wants to innovate and make new alchemical potions on his own.

The only alchemist in the entire territory is Liman, a half-hanger, so he took out his perseverance to go to Liman to learn alchemy.

Liman was so annoyed by him that he eventually threw him a book of animal skins at the bottom of the box, which recorded the alchemy he had studied.

Turner is like a treasure in this, and after studying it carefully, he really found a little bit of the way, and he has a unique insight into alchemy potions.

After much deliberation, Turner applied to participate in this high-level meeting, and his application was simple, that is, he wanted Ryan to allocate a sum of money for the research of alchemical potions.

He handed over a complete and detailed research plan, the most important of which was "medicine", and the core of alchemical potions was various herbs.

Now it's not like the previous life, there are detailed studies and records on what medicine has any effect and how to use it, and there are only a limited number of herbs that people can use in this world, such as hemostasis, detoxification, fever reduction, nourishment, etc.

Alchemists who are good at crafting potions will know a little more, but they are only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast variety of medicinal herbs.

The first step in Turner's project was to figure out the properties and effects of all the common herbs, compile a book, and combine them to create new potions.

To be honest, Ryan was a little shocked when he saw his plan, this is the Shennong who wants to taste the herbs, Li Shizhen, who wrote a book and said!

For a while, Ryan couldn't find a reason to refuse him, some things always have to be done, and if you do it, you may fail, but if you don't do it, you will definitely fail.

So Ryan only hesitated to agree to his application, and planned to invest a sum of resources, Ryan's request to him was simple, that is, he could not use living people for experiments, which was absolutely forbidden.

And Ryan also promised that if he can come up with certain research results, he will set up a laboratory for him as well.

Unconsciously, Ryan's stall is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good thing, but the bad is bad, and manpower has become a big problem.

The expansion of the army needs qualified officers, and the laboratory naturally cannot be a bare-bones commander, Liman has always been a separate research achievement, and there is no problem in the early stage, but with the deepening of research, there are more and more directions that need to be studied, and one person has long been unable to play.

Ryan had long intended to send him an assistant, but the reason why he did not take action was because the laboratory was in a high degree of secrecy before, and second, there was no suitable candidate.

Because the things that Liman has studied are really a bit shady, don't look at the few achievements that have been made by everyone now, but the external rhetoric is that those are magic weapons.

The rune matter is too deeply involved, and Ryan's little arm and leg can't be grasped, so loyalty is very important, and talent must be obtained.

And now, Ryan feels that he must think about it seriously, he now has a sense of urgency in his heart, as she said, Ryan has little time, he must improve his strength as soon as possible, in this world, strength is the right to speak!

"The students in the academy have been studying for two years, and it's time to pull out the mules and horses for a walk." Ryan muttered softly.

Originally, the students in the academy have not yet reached the ideal graduation standard, but now time waits for no one, they must take responsibility in advance, and being an assistant in various laboratories is not a kind of learning?

"Well, the matter of universal education has to be put on the table, no matter what you do, literacy is the foundation." Ryan's mind was a little divergent, and he quickly thought about the educational aspect that had been put on hold.

The meeting lasted for three full days before it ended, and the significance of the representation was very far-reaching.

On the fifth day after the meeting, Lane announced the latest personnel changes in the army.

Although the number of the five battalions of the First Army Corps has not yet been replenished, the establishment has been established, and the personnel naturally have to be transferred.

First of all, the commander of the corps was still Del Lai, and he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Kana Command.

Knight Captain Allen served as the deputy commander and deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for the training of the fourth, fifth, and two recruit battalions.

The commander of the first battalion is Kavin, who was born as a mercenary, and he has followed Ryan to make a lot of achievements since he joined the army.

The commander of the second battalion was Colonn, who was a wandering knight, and his presence was low, and he did not participate in as many battles as Carvin, but he was outstanding in the battle against the Legion of the Living Dead, made considerable achievements, and also had the experience of acting commander of the second battalion, so he was very suitable for this position.

The third battalion is the city defense battalion, and Hans is still the commander responsible for guarding Dorman City, he is an old senior, he uses troops safely, and has the demeanor of Delai, and it is very suitable to defend the base camp.

After some adjustments, the army has taken on a new look.

The reshuffling of the army is just a small test for Ryan, and the real highlight is the reorganization of the ruling department that Hevian mentioned at the meeting.

At the time he didn't say anything because he had a lot of more comprehensive ideas, and now he's pretty much done sorting them out.

Almost in one fell swoop, he dismantled the entire ruling department, replanned and divided the powers and functions of each department, and revised the original confusion and conflict.

Moreover, he also eliminated many unnecessary departments, making the entire governing body more streamlined and efficient.

And the latest personnel appointments have become the most concerned issue for officials of all sizes in the government affairs department, after all, there is a grapevine that many people will be laid off this time.

Who wants to be laid off? The answer is no......
