After Bakra left, Jia Zhengjin returned to his throne, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to sleep.
If it weren't for the difficulty of upgrading and the difficulty of obtaining skill points, he could just order a hydro, wind, solar or other generator set and he wouldn't have to worry about running out of electricity.
However, if he has skill points, he must save important technologies and buildings such as the Science and Technology Research Institute, Power Technology, Production Workshop, and Weapons Research to upgrade them to the full level. Only in this way can he unlock the production of light melee mechas and obtain stronger combat weapons.
force!
If he only relied on upgrading, it would be difficult to fully use these technologies and buildings and fill them up. But the previous book of skill points gave him hope, but besides treasure chests, he wanted to know what other ways could be used.
get!
If you can only get it by opening treasure chests, you need to go out on adventures and explore various dangerous areas.
While he was meditating, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace.
Opening his eyes slightly, he saw Bolint, the Minister of Agriculture, and Old Harlin, the Minister of Personnel, walking in quickly.
"See Lord Keen!" The two ministers came to the palace and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Father-in-law, Uncle Harlem, don't be so polite!" Jia Zhengjin stood up hurriedly, "You are all my elders, so just save this gift when there is no one around!"
"That's not possible!" Bolint shook his head seriously, "How can there be no distinction between public and private matters in such a sacred place?"
"Forget it!" Jia Zhengjin asked the two of them to sit down respectively. "I just finished talking with the Secretary of the Interior. Now what I am most concerned about is the road construction issue, which has been discussed. Next comes the agricultural and personnel issues! Please
The two of us came here at the same time to find a solution!"
"Lord Keen, just ask!" Bolint replied, raising his head.
Jia Zhengjin was quite helpless as his father-in-law didn't act like an elder at all and always regarded himself as a subordinate. The education he received since childhood was to respect the old and love the young, so this situation was a bit embarrassing. But it was useless to say it many times, and
It seems that neither mother-in-law Landis nor Tina think there is any problem. Faced with such a situation, they can only try their best to adapt: "It's not about giving orders, just discussing!"
Bolint and Old Harlin looked at each other, and they all sat upright and stared at Jia Zhengjin, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing their serious looks, Jia Zhengjin felt even more uncomfortable. But he had to talk about things, so he could only think about his father-in-law Bolint first: "Um... I said father-in-law, have you found the rubber tree that I mentioned to you privately before?
?”
Bolint shook his head directly: "Sorry! Although I have been asking for information in this area recently, I also personally led people to search the nearby forest. There is indeed no such special plant as you mentioned! But I have collected some common delicious fruit seeds.
, there will probably be more fruit species in the city soon!"
Not finding the rubber tree, Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but sigh. Is this kind of tree so difficult to find? Many people have never even heard of it! Even the elves, some who have lived for hundreds of years, don't know about the rubber tree.
Rubber trees are a very important resource and are necessary materials for manufacturing many items. But what Jia Zhengjin is eager to use now are signal towers and walkie-talkies.
It is not convenient to communicate between cities. It is always necessary to send people quickly to deliver letters, or to use fruit essence.
If you send people there, the speed will be much slower. After all, humans and horses are not machines. They must stop and rest along the way, and they will be hindered by weather and terrain conditions.
Bugs like fruit spirits are indeed faster than riding horses, but there is a big problem with their safety. Because they are actually at the bottom of the biological chain, predators are everywhere, and you will be eaten if you are not careful!
If you build a walkie-talkie and put a signal tower in other cities, you can have conversations even though you are thousands of miles away. It would be quite practical in every sense!
Therefore, Jia Zhengjin was quite disappointed with this result.
Seeing his son-in-law's expression, Bolint hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Keen, our Ministry of Agriculture will continue to search and ask people to inquire about this information!"
"Well!" Jia Zhengjin sighed slightly, "How is the yield of sugar cane?"
"Following your instructions, we are working hard to plant it! But sugarcane is really easy to cultivate. If you cut it into pieces and bury it in the farmland, it will sprout automatically!" Bolint smiled when he talked about this, "This plant is really good, especially The juice inside is so sweet! The kids love it!”
“Plant more and we won’t be short of sugar in the future!”
"Leave it to us!" Bolint slapped his chest, "When other crops in the farmland mature, use them all to grow sugar cane!"
"Well! We have too many other fruits and vegetables at the moment, so we just need to stop for a while and concentrate on growing sugar cane!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, then turned to Old Harlin, "So, Uncle Harlin, how are you doing there?"
"Lord Keen," Old Harlin replied respectfully, "according to your instructions, I have sent people to cities in nearby countries to look for mercenary groups to post recruitment notices. The terms you gave are very favorable, and our Holy Dragon City This time, the coalition forces of the Human Empire are in full swing. Compared to the near future, there will be an endless stream of talents joining you! However, there is a problem. It is not easy to determine the loyalty of talents recruited from outside, and they may be rejected by some hostile parties. Forces blend in."
"I have already considered this!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "But we can't give up eating because of choking. Shenglong City's talent is now withering. Only by establishing the entire talent system as soon as possible can we cope with situations that may occur at any time in the future."
"That's true," Old Harlin agreed with Jia Zhengjin's point of view, "but we still need to develop a method to deal with possible situations and distinguish real talents from spies from various forces!"
"This requires the efforts of your human resources department!" Jia Zhengjin said to him, "I will open my authority to you, and you will do your best for me!"
"Don't worry, Lord Keen, I will do my best!" Old Harlin was actually worried and excited about such a heavy burden.
"In addition, in terms of searching and cultivating grassroots talents in the city..." Jia Zhengjin mentioned another point.
Old Harlin replied immediately before he finished speaking: "During this period, I will hold a talent selection competition to select outstanding talents in various fields as our official candidates. Before that, we will also try our best to observe , to ensure that the character and conduct of all talents are trustworthy. As for talent training, Mr. Claude and Miss Cindy from the elves are willing to cooperate fully and join our education ranks to concentrate on cultivating the common language of school-age children in our Holy Dragon City. Elvish and Chinese in your hometown, Lord Keen. At the same time, the two of them will serve as archery teachers. As for teachers of other subjects, we are also looking for the most suitable candidates!"
