Li Xian personally took the lead in studying spirit stones; although there was a study of spirit stones in the past, it was not large in scale because I really didn’t know how to start. In fact, no one has studied spirit stones in the fairyland, but it was obviously a failure; so now there is such a shortage of spirit stones.

But this time, because he found a method to study spirit stones, Li Xian finally expanded the research on spirit stones on a large scale. Li Xian ordered Peng Yongguang, the current head of electricity, to be responsible for the project.

But although Li Xian’s idea is very good, he still encountered too many problems in his research.

"Young master, ordinary materials cannot store spiritual energy. Jade can store spiritual energy, but the strength of jade is not enough..."

"Use black iron!" Li Xian interrupted the researcher's long-windedness.

The researchers ran to the Xuan Iron Branch in charge of the Xuan Iron Branch and Hu Juncai asked for Xuan Iron, which was ten tons at one time; then Hu Juncai came to complain - Young Master, we are not enough.

"What's not enough?" Li Xian was very annoyed. He didn't know how to solve the problem. He had to rely on me to solve it all. You really think I'm a nanny.

Hu Juncai smiled bitterly: "Young master, the black iron production can only produce about 500 kilograms per day. Now the factory is expanding in all aspects, and all the black iron produced every day is not enough to use as conductors. The cement branch is expanding, the machinery branch is expanding, and the smelting branch is expanding.

In terms of electricity, black iron is not only a superconducting wire, but also a spiritual conductor, with the most demands.

The other engines, locomotives, and floating cloud islands all require black iron.

There is also an arsenal that has just begun to be built, which also requires a large amount of black iron.

Master, we need to expand ourselves, and we are really nervous now."

Li Xian opened Hu Juncai's thick account book and saw it was dazzled; electricity and black iron are now interdependent, and these two departments are also the departments that consume the most black iron. After looking at the other various applications, Li Xian had to admit that the factory is actually tight now; if the research on spirit stones is pressed on, the fragile balance of the entire group will be broken.

"It's developing too fast!" Li Xian rubbed his eyebrows with a bitter smile; but the spirit stone is really important. If the spirit stone problem can be solved, it can untie the last heavy iron chain bound to the neck of the Brilliant Star Group.

"Have a meeting! Everyone holds a meeting and sort out the development situation!" In desperation, Li Xian had to hold a meeting; and sent Song Xing around him to Anyang Prefecture to invite Fang Shijing to gather everyone to brainstorm.

Fang Shijing was also very troubled when he saw Song Xing. There were a lot of things in Anyang that had not been dealt with yet, and there was something else in the group. Unable to do so, Fang Shijing found Xu Ren, who was the most leisurely. When others were busy, he was having tea with Ling Zhifeng and the others.

"You two are so leisurely."

Ling Zhifeng smiled and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't know. I have just completed divination. Anyang will have a smooth journey in the next year. Great Good! "

When he heard this, Fang Shijing, who was busy and anxious, became angry: "Da Shan, you big-headed ghost! Now I will give you a task to continue to search for strategists, scribes, etc. from all over the world. We need at least three strategists here."

"I am a alchemist, I just care about divination. Don't look for me for other things. Oh, I suddenly felt something. I'm going to go into seclusion, don't disturb me." Ling Zhifeng threw down his cup and ran away.

Fang Shijing pointed at Ling Zhifeng's back and shivered in anger: "I hate alchemists the most. These bastards are idle every day."

"But they really can't do it without them!" Xu Ren sighed, "Just say that if Ling Zhifeng had notified him this time, if it weren't for Ling Zhifeng coming back, Anyang would probably be caught off guard and even at risk of breaking the city."

"I know. But now I'm really too busy. The young master has made a breakthrough in his research on spirit stones, and he needs more manpower, which is a mess." As he said that, Fang Shijing told him about the current difficulties.

The post-war work has not been completed, and the purchase of refugees and grain in various places has just begun. There are also the promotion and screening of officials, the formulation and implementation of various rules and regulations, urban planning, transportation construction planning, etc., which have made Fang Shijingying overload. These things add up, and it will not be smoothed out in less than two years!

After listening quietly, Xu Ren suddenly sighed, "Brother Fang, we lack a prime minister's choice! I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone in strategy; you are not inferior to anyone in governance. But when dealing with overall affairs, especially political matters, neither of us is competent.

The little Anyang is actually more complicated than the entire Daxia Kingdom.”

Fang Shijing sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "Mr. Xu, I have never seen a place that develops so fast and develops so much beyond my imagination.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to do things here; but now I have to admit that I have begun to lose my heart.

But the talent of the prime minister is rare!

It is said that there was a country called the Ming Dynasty in the south. With thousands of years of history, there was only one qualified prime minister named Zhang Juzheng. In other countries, even our Daxia Kingdom has no real prime minister to this day."

Fang Shijing's judgment made Xu Ren curious, "Oh? Isn't there a Prime Minister Ouyang Wubing in the Great Xia Kingdom now?"

Fang Shijing suddenly sneered, "Mr. Xu is a strategist and may not pay much attention to these political matters. In fact, Ouyang Wubing's talent is not enough to be competent for the position of prime minister. His eyes are always focused on small things, but he is negligent in managing national affairs. In my opinion, Li Yulong has the ability to be a prime minister."

Xu Ren held the tea and seemed to be in a certain way, "Brother Fang believes that who is the most capable of prime minister around Daxia or Daxia?"

"It is Yan Ze'an of Cai State. Cai State should have ended decades ago; but Yan Ze'an gave Cai State a revival. I have studied Yan Ze'an, who is not focused on small matters, but is not vague in major matters, and can always directly recognize the essence of things. Unfortunately..."

"No need to say it!" Xu Ren suddenly interrupted Fang Shijing's words, "Yan Ze'an, right? Brother Fang, you go to Qingyun Valley for a meeting first. In a month, I will dig Yan Ze'an over. It just so happens that we are missing a county magistrate now."

"Puff..." Fang Shijing looked at Xu Ren, his tone was full of disbelief, "Mr. Xu, are you... going to dig Yan Ze'an over?"

"Yes, it's not difficult at all!" Xu Ren suddenly took out his feather fan and played casually, clicked a person beside him, "Invite Mr. Beichen."

Fang Shijing left with a lot of questions, and Beichen Yuqing also came with a look of dust. He has been busy sorting out military affairs these days. Especially now that the industry is starting to get on the right track and showing its power, Beichen Yuqing must also consider this.

"Mr. Xu is always so leisurely." Beichen Yuqing was so envious when he saw Fang Shijing shaking the feather fan.

Xu Ren smiled and was about to speak; suddenly, an impatient voice came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Xu Ren asked.

A dusty guard of the Li family came over, "It's Mr. Xu. The master asked me to hand this letter to the young master for an emergency message."

Xu Ren took the letter, but could not open it apart at will; but asked the guard: "Is there something big happening?"

"Yes. General Fu Minghui of the Northern Expedition was defeated, and less than 3,000 imperial guards fled back."

"What!" Xu Ren was shocked and stood up suddenly, knocking over the table, teacup, etc. "How could the 30,000 elite troops of the Imperial Guard take advantage of the opportunity, how could they fail! Even if they fail, they would not be defeated so badly!"
