Chapter 597: Agriculture and Education
After Bakla left, Jia Zhengjin returned to his throne, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
If it weren't for the fact that it is now difficult to upgrade and it is not easy to obtain skill points, he just needs to order a generator set such as hydro, wind, and solar power, and he will not have to worry about running out of electricity.
However, if he has skill points, he has to keep the important technologies and buildings such as the Science and Technology Research Institute, Power Technology, Production Workshop, and Weapon Research to be upgraded to the full level, only in this way can he unlock the manufacture of light melee mechs and get stronger combat power!
If you're just relying on upgrades, it's hard to fully point out these technologies and buildings and fill them up. But the previous book of skill points gave him hope, but he was curious to know what other ways to get it besides treasure chests!
If you can only get it by opening treasure chests, you need to go out on adventures and explore all kinds of dangerous areas.
As he pondered, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace.
When I opened my eyes slightly, I saw the Minister of Agriculture, Brilliant and the Minister of Personnel, Haring, walking in quickly.
"Meet Lord Keane!" the two ministers came to the palace and immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Father-in-law, Uncle Harlin, don't be so polite!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly got up, "You are all my elders, save this gift when there is no one around!"
"That's not going to work!" Brilliant shook his head seriously, "how can there be no distinction between public and private in such a sacred place?"
"Forget it!" Jia Zhengjin invited the two of them to sit down separately, "I just finished talking with the Minister of the Interior. Now my main concern is the issue of road construction, and this has been negotiated. Then there are the agricultural and personnel problems! Please come here at the same time, just find a way to solve it!"
"Master Keane just commands!" replied Brilliant looking up.
For his father-in-law, he doesn't look like an elder at all, and always treats himself as a subordinate, Jia Zhengjin is also quite helpless. He has been taught since he was a child to respect the old and love the young, so this situation is a bit embarrassing. But it didn't work to say it many times, and it seemed that mother-in-law Lantis and Tina didn't think there was anything wrong. In the face of such a situation, I can only try to adapt: "I can't talk about orders, just discuss!"
Brilliant and Old Harlem glanced at each other, and they all sat and looked at Jia Zhengjin, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing their serious appearance, Jia Zhengjin felt even more uncomfortable. But I can't help but talk about things, so I can only look at my father-in-law Brilliant first: "That...... I said, father-in-law, have you found the rubber tree that I mentioned to you in private?"
Brilliant shook his head directly: "I'm sorry! Although I have been inquiring about this recently, and I have personally led people to search the nearby forest, it is true that there are no special plants like the one you mentioned!
No rubber tree was found, and Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but sigh. It's so hard to find it? Many people have never even heard of it! Even the elves, some of whom have lived for hundreds of years, don't know about rubber trees.
Rubber trees are an important resource and are necessary for the manufacture of many items. And now Jia Zhengjin is eager to use the place is the signal tower and walkie-talkie.
It is not convenient to communicate between cities, and it is always necessary to send someone to deliver the letter quickly, or to use confectionery.
If you send someone, it's much slower. After all, humans and horses are not machines, and they must stop and rest on the way, and they are hindered by weather and terrain conditions.
It is true that the efficiency of sending messages from this insect is faster than that of riding a horse, but there is a big problem with the degree of safety. Because they are actually at the bottom of the biological chain, predators are simply everywhere, and they can be eaten if you are not careful!
If you build a walkie-talkie and build a signal tower in another city, you can talk to each other even if you are thousands of miles away, which is quite practical in every sense!
Therefore, Jia Zhengjin was quite disappointed with this result.
Seeing his son-in-law's expression, Brilliant hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord Keane, our Ministry of Agriculture will continue to search and ask someone to inquire about this news!"
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin sighed slightly, "How is the yield of sugarcane?"
"We are working hard to grow according to your instructions, but sugar cane is really easy to cultivate, and it will sprout automatically when you cut it into a piece and bury it in the field!" Brilliant smiled when he said this, "This plant is so good, especially the juice in it is so sweet!
"Plant more, and we won't be short of sugar in the future!"
"Leave it to us!" Brilliant patted his chest, "and when the other crops in the field are ripe, they will all be used to grow sugar cane!"
"Well, there are too many other fruits and vegetables hoarded at the moment, so I just stopped for a while and concentrated on growing sugar cane!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, and then turned to Old Haring, "Then Uncle Haring, how are you doing over there?"
"Lord Keane," replied Old Harlem respectfully, "at your command, I have sent men to the cities of the nearby countries to look for the mercenary group to post recruitment notices. The conditions you gave were very favorable, and our Holy Dragon City was in full swing this time to stop the human empire coalition forces. However, there is a problem that recruiting from the outside is not easy to determine in terms of loyalty, and it may be mixed in by some hostile forces. ”
"I've already taken this into consideration!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "but you can't give up eating because of choking." The talents in Shenglong City are now withering, and the entire talent system can be established as soon as possible in order to cope with the situation that may occur at any time in the future. ”
"That's true," Old Haring agreed, Jia Zhengjin's point of view, "but it is still necessary to devise a way to deal with possible situations and distinguish the real talents from the spies of various forces!"
"This requires the efforts of your personnel department!" Jia Zhengjin said to him, "I will open up the authority to you, and you will do the best for me!"
"Don't worry, Lord Keane, I'll do my best!" Old Harlem was actually worried and excited about such a burden.
"In addition, the search and training of grassroots talents in the city ......," Jia Zhengjin said.
Old Haring didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately replied: "During this time, I will hold a talent selection competition to select outstanding talents in various fields as our official candidates." Until then, we will try to observe and ensure that all talents are trustworthy in their conduct and integrity. As for the cultivation of talents, Mr. Claude and Miss Cindy of the Elves are willing to cooperate fully and join us in the ranks of education, focusing on cultivating the lingua franca of school-age children in our Holy Dragon City, the elven language, and the Chinese language of your hometown, Lord Keane. At the same time, the two of them will also serve as archery teachers, and as for teachers of other subjects, we are also looking for the most suitable candidates!"
