In the following period of time, the entire Great Xia entered a period of rapid development, and at the same time, a large number of items from other cities began to be used in Great Xia City, which caused a great impact on the people in Great Xia City.

In particular, Daxia City is still in the stage of transitioning from public ownership to private ownership, and it is still in the stage of bartering when it trades with people.

And people from other cities undoubtedly accelerated this transition time.

Xia Qi found that Wang Ting had already initially established an economic foundation in Dayan, and he only needed to fill in the details.

At the same time, what is popular in Dayan is the copper coins issued by the government, supplemented by rare metals such as gold and silver.

To this end, Xia Qi deliberately found craftsmen who had minted coins for the royal court, and adjusted the ratio of copper to other metals to issue them.

In order to let the aborigines in Daxia City accept copper coins, he also directly exchanged the remuneration from salt to money.

In short, because of the absorption of an entire Great Swallow, Great Xia has been subjected to a large number of shocks in a short period of time, and all kinds of changes are different.

In this way, after the past few months, a lot has changed in Great Xia City.

The original dirt road disappeared and became a paved road with green bricks.

The dens were gone, and they were replaced by rows of wooden houses.

All departments also have proper office locations.

Moreover, Xia Qi also has a palace, of course, this palace is far inferior to that of the royal court.

But then again, Xia Qi has never been a person who cares about material comforts.

The business district of Daxia City is located in the south of Daxia City, which is the location of the camp of the former Xia tribe.

It is also the most lively place outside of the business district.

Xia Qi opened several shops selling salt here.

Don't underestimate the salt thing, because it is a government monopoly, so in just a few months, Xia Qi has made a lot of money, not only earning back the copper coins issued.

And this also made Xia Qi firm in his determination to "salt and iron franchise".

At the same time, the school was also built.

As for the system of the academy, Xia Qi has already sorted it out, and he is a modern person, so naturally he does not need to follow the set of ancient people.

Considering the problems of all parties, Xia Qi planned to temporarily divide the school into two classes, one for children and one for adults.

Teaching children to learn, the important thing is fun, and teaching adults to learn, what is more important is efficiency, as soon as the news that the school is being built in Daxia City spread, the school has not been completed, and the registration has been full.

However, among these people who signed up, there were basically few ordinary people, and all of them were the city lords of the sub-cities under Xia Qi, or the ministers of various cities and departments.

Some of them report for their children, while others report for their brothers and friends, because they know very well the importance of being educated.

Take those ministers as an example, there are dozens of people in the whole department, or even hundreds of people, why does it take his turn to sit in the position of this minister? The reason is very simple, they are better learners than others, they can read!

When Xia Qi selects a minister for a certain department, he will ask such a sentence: 'Which of you is literate?' Literate stand up. ’

In general, unless there is a person who has made a very outstanding contribution to the department, the position of the minister is for the literate one.

For learning this kind of thing, Xia Qi has always maintained a policy of encouragement, but not reluctance, there are few ordinary people who sign up for the time being, and he doesn't care, after all, ordinary people still need a process of acceptance, and the school that has just opened cannot accept too many students at once.

Just when Xia Qi was busy sitting in the brand-new office, Xia Fox's voice suddenly came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, are you there, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this voice, Xia Qi's whole expression froze decisively, and then rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"Why is this little ancestor here again?"

According to reason, Xia Fox is already Xia Qi's woman, and the two of them will never develop to the point where Xia Qi avoids her, but he really has unspeakable hardships!

Regarding her tricky questions one after another, Xia Qi said that he was about to lose track of this person's rhythm, so he could hide and hide recently.

However, Xia Fox is an existence with an intelligence of up to five stars, and soon realized Xia Qi's way, Jade has recently begun to play cards out of common sense, and often takes advantage of Xia Qi's office to rush in directly.

If it were someone else, he would have been taught to be a man by his team of guards guarding the door, even if it was Rayong, if they dared to be so bearish, they would dare to directly draw their swords to stop people.

But for Xia Fox, they really don't have the guts.

After all, whether in name or in fact, Xia Fox is Xia Qi's only woman at present, who dares to stop this thing?

"Patriarch, patriarch......" Xia Fox trotted all the way to Xia Qi's side, and then rested his little head on his shoulder with an affectionate expression.

Xia Qi: "Call Dad." ”

"Daddy?" Xia Fox tilted his little head and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, have you changed your name again?" ”

Xia Qi: ......

"Tell me, what's the problem you're having again?"

"Actually, it's like this......"

Xia Fox said as he quickly spread the design in his hand on Xia Qi's desk, and at the same time did not forget to hold the semi-finished hand in his hand. Crossbow gestures.

Crossbow, another pinnacle of cold weapons in human history.

It is very different from the bow in the traditional sense, although the crossbow is much more complex to manufacture than the bow, and the technical content and cost of the work are relatively high, but the lethality, penetration and range are better than the bow.

Moreover, the use of a crossbow does not require much training and learning.

At first, Xia Qi's idea was to make a hand for single use according to the reduction of the Eight Bull Crossbow according to a certain proportion. crossbow came, but it turned out that such an idea was somewhat unrealistic, since the two were substantially different.

Unlike the two guards who seemed to be listening to the book of heaven on the side, Xia Qi was obviously used to Xia Fox's gushing way of talking, coupled with his quick thinking, there was no pressure to digest.

Summer fox study hand. The crossbow has also been studied for a long time, and to be honest, it is only a few key small mechanisms inside it that are close to completion, but these small mechanisms are hands. The essence of the entire manufacturing process of the crossbow.

When Xia Qi returned to the real world before, although he had checked his hands well. The structure of the crossbow, but a lot of things are a different matter when it comes to actual operation.

If he could, Xia Qi really wanted to make a lot of money directly from the trading house. The crossbow design was given to Xia Fox and asked her to quickly put this hand. The crossbow is made.

But the problem is, he really can't do it, for a simple reason, as one of the few ranged troops in the entire Cold Weapon Era, the crossbowman. Crossbow design, you can imagine how high the price has been, Xia Qi's smile revealed a sense of poverty, for him with more than 300,000 civilization points, he really can't afford it.

Giving full play to his modern thinking, after seriously discussing this issue with Xia Fox, Xia Qi appropriately shifted the topic to another matter.

"By the way, can you fix the siege tower that I asked someone to send you before?"

"Oh, that's already fixed." Xia Fox replied nonchalantly, obviously not interested in the siege tower.

On the one hand, the siege tower itself has the original as a reference, in other words, according to her talent, in the case of the original, as long as she dismantles the original, she can basically touch the entire structure, plus the structure and craftsmanship itself are not particularly complicated, and it is not too difficult to build another one later.

And for something that has been thoroughly studied by himself, Xia Fox's interest will drop all the way, and finally become completely uninterested in that thing.

"Anyway, go back and get a copy of the design of the siege tower and give it to the Ordnance Manufacturing Department." Xia Qi reminded with a tired face.

"Got it." Xia Fox obviously knows the importance of the design in her heart, although she has no interest in something that has been thoroughly studied, but in order to contribute to the development of civilization, she will still draw it in the end.

Facts have proved that if there is a mechanism for contributing points, Xia Fox's contribution is estimated to be able to rank in the top three, which is also an important reason why the guards standing at the door dare not stop her at all.

"Don't forget about this, I'll ask the head of the Ordnance Manufacturing Department to come to you tomorrow to get the blueprints."

After discussing several issues with Xia Fox, Xia Qi casually found a reason to ask her to go back to the experiment by herself.

Looking up at the fiery Daxia Lake outside the window that was reflected by the sunset, Xia Qi exhaled a long breath, he was tired enough at the end of the day.

Just as he wanted to take a break, the guards came to report, and the deer asked to see him.

As the old man of Great Xia City, Xia Qi immediately let the guards let him go and let him in, but the other party's first words startled Xia Qi.

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"
