Chapter 535: Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang
Compared to the short spears commonly used by the green lizard infantry, the crystal spears they made were longer.
The green lizard infantry mainly fights in a rainforest environment, and long-handled weapons cannot be used, so short spears came into being. However, Zhou Xu had confirmed in advance that there was an open terrain on the southern battlefield, and even the cavalry had ample room to maneuver, so there was no situation where the spears could not be used.
Under this premise, the value that the war spear can demonstrate is definitely greater than the short spears originally used by the green lizard infantry.
Grabbing a spear, Zhou Xu made some simple gestures and showed a satisfied expression.
Now that the melting ratio of crystal iron has been precisely grasped, it is not difficult for them to forge various weapons, and even many molds are ready-made.
At the same time, during this period of time, Zhou Xu also had a deeper understanding of the performance of crystal iron weapons.
Let's first compare the crystal iron knife with an ordinary iron sword. Without any enchantment, the toughness and durability of the crystal iron knife are slightly worse than that of an ordinary iron sword, but it is sharper.
Once the enchantment effect is added, the crystal iron knife will surpass ordinary iron swords in toughness and durability, and will completely crush them in comprehensive performance.
But once compared with the silver steel swords of the elven knights, the crystal iron knife pales in comparison.
The only thing that can compare with the silver-steel sword is probably its sharpness, but all other aspects are surpassed by the silver-steel sword.
Ultimately, forging technology may also have an impact, but material problems definitely account for the vast majority of the reasons.
Zhou Xu had known about this for a long time and was not disappointed.
Without disturbing their work, Zhou Xudu left the forging department and walked to the polishing department. However, he was not here to inspect the work situation of the polishing department, but to go next to the polishing department.
There was a medium-sized workshop next to the polishing department. Zhou Xu walked over and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Xu pushed the door open and saw Wang Dong picking up a crystal iron knife out of boredom.
【Primary weapon blessing.】
Then he threw the blessed crystal iron knife aside and picked up the next one, repeating this process...
During this process, when Wang Dong saw Zhou Xu coming in, he just rolled his eyelids and said something weakly.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience. Your Majesty, please make yourself at your ease."
Zhou Xu heard some resentment in these words, and then rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
This is actually not Wang Dong's fault. He was originally supposed to be in charge of education, but what happened now? He has become a magic tool, being sent to the front line and then to the rear.
Although Zhou Xu had rewarded him with all kinds of gifts and respected him very much, Wang Dong was not interested in this. This made him feel very empty recently, and his resentment even grew stronger.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou now, only Teacher Wang dares to show this attitude towards Zhou Xu.
After all, he is truly indifferent to life and death, and will fight if he is not convinced.
Looking at Wang Dong's behavior, Zhou Xu coughed twice.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang. I have already made arrangements for the education matters."
"You said the same thing last time, my king."
“…”
Isn’t this embarrassing?
"It's really being done this time. Our Great Zhou is getting bigger and bigger. If we want to govern it well, we need more people who can read and write."
After hearing this, Wang Dong finally mustered up some strength, but still had no intention of responding.
Zhou Xu was not surprised by this and continued to talk to himself...
"At the same time, according to the latest report, many children were born in our Great Zhou this year. Although it will take a few years to provide these children with enlightenment education, it will be too late to start working on this matter by then. I will definitely build a school for you before then!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Dong's expression immediately looked much better.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In fact, Wang Dong knew clearly that Zhou Xu was a very organized person. At the same time, it was not difficult to see that he also attached great importance to education from the fact that he had already considered the process of preparing enlightenment education for the newborn.
This part of the work has been delayed again and again. He really has no choice because the conditions do not allow it.
Now that the arrangements have been made, there is a high probability that it will be completed within the next two years.
Seeing Wang Dong's expression relax, Zhou Xu thought for a moment before speaking.
"Teacher Wang, when the energy channel opens next time, I will have to go to the front line again."
“…”
Hearing this, Wang Dong was silent for a while.
"I am going too?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang."
In response, Wang Dong just rolled his eyes helplessly.
"The king has come to the front line in person, how dare I complain?"
What Wang Dong said at this time was his true feelings.
He discovered that Zhou Xu had a characteristic, which was that he always did things to the point where others were speechless.
"But I still have to remind you, Your Majesty, that as a monarch, the most important thing is to stay in the center and consolidate the Great Zhou. Let the generals do the marching and fighting. How can a monarch go to the front line every day? How can the Great Zhou be stable? How can development be maintained?"
Zhou Xu had personally experienced what Wang Dong said through the previous expedition. After he went to the front line, he had indeed had a huge impact on the development within the Great Zhou.
But given the current situation, what can he do?
At first he asked Li Ce to lead the troops to fight, but they were defeated.
Wang Dong was obviously aware of Zhou Xu's helplessness, so he just gave him a reminder to prevent Zhou Xu from being too keen on leading the army in person and forgetting about the development of the Great Zhou.
However, what he didn't know was that Zhou Xu actually did the exact opposite of what he thought.
He was not at all enthusiastic about things like leading the army in person.
His mentality has always been, "If I have to do everything myself, then why would I, as a king, support a bunch of you, my subjects?"
This time he really had no choice but to lead the army in person, which is why things turned out like this.
After briefly explaining the matter to Wang Dong, Zhou Xu did not stay any longer. The workload on enchanting was still very heavy recently, so he did not disturb Wang Dong from working.
After a round of inspection, Zhou Xu returned to his office, estimated his condition, opened the Dragon Lord class panel, and upgraded the Lizardman Endurance Enhancement item to level two.
Afterwards, because of the consumption of mantra power, I took a few days to rest and get enough rest.
On the seventh day, he set out directly from Black Moon Village and headed for Grassland Village.
Before going on the expedition, he also planned to visit the grassland village and contact the Centaurs.
If you go on time and something happens in the middle and you miss the time, that would be embarrassing.
