Preparations for the construction of the silkworm city are in full swing, and at the same time, the weaving department has begun to try step by step with a large number of silkworm cocoons collected.

Raising silkworms to cocoon formation is only the first step, and the subsequent silk reeling and weaving are the most important things.

At the same time, Xia Qi has also been busy, after all, as the ruler of Great Xia, he is very busy, and he has to deal with a lot of affairs every day.

"Your Majesty, the report of the commanders has been delivered." As he spoke, an assistant gently placed a stack of reports on Xia Qi's desk.

It is worth mentioning that these reports are all written on cloth.

There's no way, who makes the current Daxia still have no paper?

"Got it."

Hearing this, Xia Qi rubbed his brows, he didn't look at it and knew what the content of the report was, the previous continuous battles had caused a large number of wounded soldiers in Great Xia, and many of them could no longer serve.

According to the retirement system promulgated before Xia Qi, the military is obliged to make work arrangements for retired soldiers, and when a dozen or twenty soldiers retire in peacetime, the work arrangement is naturally quite easy, but every time a major war is fought, there are often thousands of soldiers facing the problem of retirement.

After retiring, continuing to stay in the barracks as a recruit instructor is estimated to be the job that many veterans want the most, on the one hand, because the barracks are the place they are most familiar with, and on the other hand, because the salary of instructors is quite good.

However, basically one instructor can bring a group of one or two hundred recruits at the same time, in other words, there is no need for so many instructors in the barracks at all, and there are more than ten or twenty instructors in the barracks of a city, which is completely sufficient, and there is no point in having more.

But there are so many retired soldiers applying for this instructor job, and in desperation, he can only speak with strength, Xia Qi directly added a decree at that time, that is, the instructor position in the barracks, in the case of vacancies, will be given priority to retired soldiers who have been on the battlefield many times and have higher combat achievements.

To put it simply, if you are just a rookie who was injured and retired after going to the battlefield once, then why should you teach other recruits, do you have that ability?

There is no doubt that this article has basically been recognized by all soldiers, and the number of applicants for the position of instructor has suddenly decreased by seventy percent.

But this is only the beginning, fewer retired soldiers applying for instructor positions do not mean that fewer retired soldiers are applying for work placements.

At this moment, Xia Qi is undoubtedly deeply aware of the difficulty of fighting a battle, needless to say before the war to mobilize troops, hoard grain and grass, and forge weapons and equipment, not to mention how tired it is to fight in wartime, but now after the war, the comfort of the families of the dead soldiers, the work arrangements of the wounded and retired soldiers, and the replenishment of new troops, a lot of things are still anxious.

And Xia Qi, who was also aware of this situation, hurriedly issued another decree, that is, retired soldiers who do not need the help of the military to make work arrangements can add an additional compensation.

I have to say that this decree is useful, after it was issued, the pressure on the arrangement of the various cities has been reduced a lot, and after a big battle, except for the soldiers in the Great Xia City, all the other cities have sent a report to Xia Qi requesting conscription.

There was no way, Xia Qi had no choice but to order the recruitment of new soldiers in various cities.

Thanks to the royal court, this guy is unpopular and has made a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. It's when there is a shortage of population, this guy actually collects a Dingkou tax, don't you think it's a brain show?

After Xia Qi took over these cities, he ordered most of the taxes to be abolished, and this move was immediately supported by a large number of the original Dayan people.

For this conscription, Xia Qi also specially issued a decree that every soldier who enlisted in the army could be exempted from family taxes.

If there is a spirit in the royal court, it must be angry to death.

Good guy, when I was recruiting, you were not happy one by one, and as soon as this guy was recruited, you were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

[Player "Zhang Yi" has launched an invasion against you]

Time passed quietly, and with the expiration of the war exemption order, Great Xia once again ushered in a new invader.

Seeing this, Xia Qi shouted luck in his heart, fortunately, before this, all cities had completed the conscription one after another, and several important cities were also guarded by bears, white wolves, and green bulls.

On the day of the start of the invasion war, the battle report on the front line was quickly delivered to him by a messenger, and Xia Qi immediately laughed when he saw the contents.

"Heh, this wave is stable."

In this invasion, the city attacked by the enemy was Mustang City.

Wild Horse City is the city built by Xia Qixin on the grassland for grazing.

It is worth mentioning that in this city was garrisoned by Qingyang, and under his command there were 600 lancers, as well as 500 archers.

This time the invading player can be said to have won a draw!

However, just in case, Xia Qi still lit up his soldiers and horses and began to march towards Wild Horse City.

However, when he arrived at Iron Wall City with the vanguard troops, the situation in front of him made him dumbfounded.

"Huh? Retreated?! ”

On the second day of the invasion, Xia Qi rushed to Tiebi City with a thousand vanguard troops, however, after two rounds of siege, the other party retreated quite simply.

In other words, he seemed to have run for nothing, which couldn't help but make Xia Qi's mood a little depressed, but after thinking about it and thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the practice of normal players, right?

Isn't it the player of the World Alliance who invaded this time?

With this thought flashing, Xia Qi asked Qingyang, "How many troops did the other party bring, and what about the casualties?" ”

"In terms of troops, it should be a thousand troops, but the casualties are not large." For these things, Qingyang obviously knows what to do.

"The opponent's siege was advancing very steadily, basically testing our defending forces, but there was no strong attack, this state, coupled with the defense line composed of large shield troops, it is difficult to have obvious casualties. Before we could attack, the opponent had already retreated. ”

Just when Xia Qi was pondering like this, Qingyang, who was standing next to him, spoke again, "By the way, speaking of which, there is a strange thing. ”

"What's weird?" Xia Qi subconsciously asked.

"The other party didn't bring siege equipment, but the ladder troops did bring one, but to be honest, in those two rounds of siege battles, the ladder troops didn't move much, and they were basically just decorations."

Hearing this, Xia Qi frowned, at this level, the invading players bring siege equipment when they fight invasion battles, isn't that common sense? Although the ladder is also a siege weapon, to be honest, it can only play an auxiliary role, if you really want to fight a siege war, you have to take out the main equipment!

Thinking of this, Xia Qi's brows couldn't help but furrow even tighter, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted together.

"No, even if it's a cautious player, it's impossible not to bring a bed crossbow to an unfamiliar opponent, so that if he can, he won't be able to fight unless he ......"

As the thought flickered, Xia Qi's pupils, who seemed to have thought of something, contracted suddenly.

"Unless this Zhang Yi didn't plan to attack the city from the beginning! And the reason why this is the case is because he knows that I am not an easy opponent to deal with, and among the current bronze ranks, only players from the World Alliance know this! ”

The thoughts in my head were cleared up at once!

The deaths of Yang Peng and Wang Ting made the players of the World Alliance take it seriously thoroughly.

The opponent's previous course of action was the principle of "fast hands and slow hands", to put it bluntly, it was a way of bullying rookies, comparing who moved fast, and it was also a situation caused by extreme confidence in their own strength.

And now, after realizing that Xia Qi is not a rookie to be slaughtered by them, they have obviously slowed down in the real sense, and at the same time they have become serious, which is not a good sign for Xia Qi, because this shows that once the other party is fully prepared to officially attack, the tricky degree will be far greater than the previous royal court.

【You have won this defensive battle】

[You have obtained "Bronze Treasure Chest ×1]

Listening to the system prompt sound in his head, this victory made Xia Qi not very happy, and there was no surprise in the bronze treasure chest......

With the end of an invasion war, although Zhang Yi, who was teleported back to his own world by the system, lost, he did not lose at all psychological pressure, and directly found the charter after coming out.

"Brother Cheng, I'm out."

After realizing that Xia Qi was not easy to deal with, all the bronze rank players in the Tianxia Alliance who wanted to be paid by Pu Bancheng joined forces in secret for the sake of conservatism.

"How's it going?"

"The stone city wall, the scale of the city is not small, and I feel that the other party has at least a few sub-cities, which can kill the royal court, this Xia Qi still has some strength."

didn't hide it, Zhang Yi quite simply said the information and feelings he knew, the charter was in the bronze rank, it was half a bigwig-level figure, there was a other party covering him, his security index had risen by at least one level, this ally who could send a letter for help at a critical moment was not comparable to two silver-level props, there was no need to make a gap in the friendship between the two of them because of this matter.
