From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 188 Contemporary Li Shizhen? 【4K】

Similarly, more income means more consumption, but fortunately, the development of the territory has gradually entered the right track, and it will not be a unilateral investment.

The cement factory has been continuously producing. Although the efficiency is relatively low, there is already a considerable amount, and Ryan has a further utilization plan for this.

The production of the steelworks has been on the right track. Thanks to Hevian's continuous investment, it has been able to meet the needs of the entire territory and has a surplus. The next step is to export iron products.

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

Ryan is backed by Linton County, and can sell goods to farther regions, and steel products have always been a hot commodity, which is just needed by many nobles.

In addition, there are several good mine veins in the Celtic Territory, including a mine that produces gems. Although the output is rare, it has high value.

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

In addition, Hevian also mentioned for the first time the proposal to reorganize the government affairs department, which Ryan did not even think of. After all, this is his own basic plan.

Ryan did not express his opinion on the spot, but turned his attention to De Lai.

Drey organized the language and said: "I have reported to you about the battle, and I will not repeat it for the time being. My main report today is as follows..."

During this period of time, De Lai was naturally not idle. During this period of time, he reformulated the training method and content of the army, basically matching the border army.

And he established a new recruit battalion. According to his thinking, the recruits recruited in the future will be uniformly entered into the recruit battalion for intensive training ranging from three months to half a year.

Then they will be assigned to the existing three battalions according to their training performance and demonstrated strengths for further training.

To put it simply and crudely, the first and second of the three battalions of the First Legion are the field troops, which can be said to be the main force. Both the actual combat experience and quality of the soldiers surpass the city defense battalion.

Soldiers in the new battalion who perform above the level will be assigned to these two battalions first, while the rest will be assigned to the city defense battalion as a second-line force.

Ryan's idea is that the first and second battalions will be expanded into field regiments in the future, and as the main force on the front line, they will be responsible for foreign wars.The city defense battalion was transformed into a second-line garrison force, with functions similar to patrolling and arresting, mainly responsible for maintaining law and order and city defense.

Ryan currently has two territories, and the original troops are more difficult to garrison, so the military expansion plan is imminent.

The recruit camp De Lai has been established for more than half a year, but it has been relatively conservative. Currently, there are less than 700 people. After careful consideration, Ryan decided to expand the recruit camp to 2000 people, which is the size of two battalions.

The main composition of the military force is mainly the original Kanna people with the highest loyalty, supplemented by the refugees and the Chelt people.

After all, the construction of the army requires multiple considerations. The people who have just returned to the army are unstable, and Ryan is not at ease when using it.

In this way, the total strength of the First Legion has reached more than [-] people, and the establishment of this legion is finally worthy of its name.

If it is normal, this ratio of conscription is a bit high, with a population of more than 6 and 5000 people joining the army, almost reaching the point of 12:1. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is militaristic.

Fortunately, the population composition of the border territories is quite special, especially in a territory like Karna where refugees make up the majority, young and middle-aged people are the main part of the population.

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

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

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

For example, the financial officer Fetrol said that during this year, he organized several caravans directly under the territory to sell various specialties of the territory to various regions of the province, and achieved considerable results. Down will slowly seize the market share, trying to develop in the cracks.

Kewell also reported the latest progress of the magic plants he was in charge of. Most of the crops had a good harvest, and he selected excellent seeds for multiple sowing.

With his special ability to give birth to plants, he completed the multi-generational planting of seeds on a mother plant.That is, the seeds produced by the first-generation plants are selected and then sown and propagated to study the heredity of plants.

After all, these magic plants are all catalyzed and mutated by Ryan's special means, and no one knows whether their next generation can still achieve this effect.

If not, it means that they are not widely popularized. If they can, it will be an epoch-making discovery.

Take magic wheat as an example. Although their appearance is not very different from ordinary wheat, the effect after eating is different. According to Kewell's experiment, long-term consumption of magic wheat will gradually improve a person's physical fitness .

Although this experiment has only been carried out for less than two years, the experimenters have changed a lot compared to the past. If this time is enlarged to several years or even decades, it will be very impressive data.

Even considering the attenuation of the effect, this is very remarkable, because it means that ordinary human beings will go one step further in the level of life.

Moreover, the improvement of physical fitness will also affect his next generation. In this case, these newborns will really win at the starting line. Recently, Kewell has been considering whether to let the experimenter give birth to a child for research.

Back to the topic, according to his repeated selection of seeds, after more than [-] experiments, he confirmed that these magical plants can be stably inherited. Although there is no such thing as genetics or genes, the reason is similar.

And there is an unexpected discovery among them, that is, the plants grown from some seeds are not only perfectly inherited, but even surpass the mother plant.This manifests itself in many ways, some in higher yields, in others in faster growth, in others in increased potency...etc.

This brought a new research direction to Kewell, so besides reporting work this time, he wanted to apply to Ryan to build a laboratory like Liman's, specializing in magic plants.

Ryan attached great importance to this, and after careful consideration, he finally agreed to his application and approved the construction of the first magical plant research institute, code-named Laboratory No. [-].

The code name of Liman's rune laboratory is Laboratory No. [-].

Ryan's ambition can be seen from the code name. He will attract more talents and build more laboratories in the future!
However, the next person who stood up to report surprised Ryan a little, and that was the person in charge of the almost invisible alchemy potion workshop—Tenal.

To say that the establishment of the alchemy potion workshop starts with Liman, a half-baked alchemist. As the first workshop established by Ryan, its contribution in the early stage of the territory is indelible.

After all, in this world without a medical system, these magical medicines that can treat injuries are life-saving straws. In the past two years, the medicines produced by the workshop have saved countless people.

Just because of some objective reasons, the workshop gradually lost its sense of existence after Liman established his own laboratory.

Turner was one of the assistants assigned to Liman at the beginning. He was smart and had obtained the true biography of making alchemy potions. A group of outstanding apprentices was recruited and the scale was expanded.

But the more this happened, the more Tenner became unwilling, because he was tired of the work of producing the only two alchemy potions on the assembly line.

He is a person who likes to study and has a strong interest in alchemy. He wants to innovate by himself and make new alchemy potions.

Liman was the only alchemist in the entire territory, so he showed his perseverance to find Liman to learn alchemy.

Liman was so annoyed by him that he could only throw him an animal skin book at the bottom of the box, which recorded the alchemy he had learned.

Turner felt like he had found a treasure in this matter, and his painstaking research really allowed him to get a handle on it, and he even had a unique insight into alchemy potions.

After weighing it over and over again, Turner applied to participate in this high-level meeting. His application was very simple, that is, he wanted Ryan to allocate a sum of money for the research of alchemy potions.

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

Now it is not like the previous life. There are detailed research and records on what medicine has what effect and how to use it. In this world, there are only a few kinds of herbal medicine that people can use, such as hemostasis, detoxification, fever reduction, nourishing and so on.

An alchemist who is good at making potions will know more, but compared with the vast variety of medicinal herbs, it is just a drop in the ocean.

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

To be honest, Ryan was a little shocked when he saw his plan. This is Shennong who wants to try a hundred herbs, and Li Shizhen who wrote a book!

For a while, Ryan couldn't find a reason to reject him. Some things always need someone to do it. If you do it, you may fail, but if you don't do it, you will definitely fail.

So Ryan agreed to his application with only a little hesitation, and planned to invest a sum of resources. Ryan's request to him was very simple, that is, he could not use living people for experiments, which was absolutely prohibited.

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

Before he knew it, Ryan's stall was getting bigger and bigger. This was originally a good thing, but the bad thing was that manpower became a big problem.

The expansion of the army requires qualified officers, and the laboratory naturally cannot be a bare-bones commander. Liman has been researching the results alone and there are no problems in the early stage, but with the deepening of research, there are more and more research directions. Stop turning.

Ryan had long intended to send him an assistant. The reason why he didn't act was because the laboratory was highly confidential before, and the second was that there was no suitable candidate.

Because Liman's research is really shady, even though everyone has produced a few results that are known to everyone, but the public is saying that those are all magic weapons.

The matter of runes is too involved, and Ryan, who has small arms and legs, still can't grasp it, so loyalty is very important, and talent is also required.

But now, Ryan feels that he must seriously consider it. He now has a sense of urgency in his heart. As she said, Ryan's time is running out, and he must improve his strength as soon as possible. In this world, strength is the right to speak!
"The students in the school have been studying for two years. It's time to take out the mule or the horse for a walk." Ryan murmured softly.

Originally, the students in the school hadn't reached the ideal graduation standard, but now time is running out, and they have to take responsibility in advance. Isn't it a kind of study to be an assistant in various laboratories?

"Well, the matter of universal education has to be brought up on the table. No matter what you do, literacy is the foundation." Ryan's thinking was a little divergent, and soon he thought of the education aspect that had been put on hold.

This meeting lasted for three full days before it ended, but the meaning represented in it was very far-reaching.

On the fifth day after the meeting, Ryan announced the latest personnel adjustments in the army.

Although the number of the five battalions of the First Legion has not yet been completed, the organization has been established, and personnel will naturally have to be mobilized.

First of all, the head of the legion is still held by De Lai, and he has become the commander-in-chief of the Kana Land military.

Knight Commander Allen served as the deputy commander and deputy commander, responsible for the training of the fourth, fifth, and two new barracks.

The commander of the first battalion was Calvin, who was born as a mercenary. Since he joined the army, he has made a lot of military exploits with Ryan. He likes to use troops by surprise, and commanding a battalion is no problem.

The commander of the second battalion was Coron, who was born as a wandering knight. He had a low sense of presence and did not participate in as many battles as Cavin, but he performed outstandingly in the battle against the Legion of the Living Dead and made considerable achievements. And also has the experience of commanding the Second Battalion as an acting agent, so it is very suitable for this position.

The third battalion is the city defense battalion, and Hans is still the commander in charge of guarding Doman City. He is an old veteran, and he is safe in using troops and has the demeanor of De Lai.

After some adjustments, the army has a new look.

The adjustment of the army is just a small trial by Ryan. The real highlight lies in the reorganization of the ruling department mentioned by Hevian at the meeting.

He didn't express his position at the time because he had many more comprehensive ideas, but now, he has almost sorted them out.

He dismantled the entire governing department almost in one go, re-planned and divided the rights and functions of each department, and modified the places that were originally chaotic and conflicted.

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

The latest personnel appointment has become the most concerned issue of the officials of the government affairs department. After all, there are rumors that many people will be laid off this time.

Who wants to be cut?The answer is no...
