Chapter 124 Government Affairs

Xia Qi almost turned around and ran when he looked at the mountains of documents piled up on the desk, and even some of them were about to fall to the ground because there were too many of them.

Holding back this desire, he sat down on the word and looked at the papers.

The first document, which is from the Minister of Agriculture, looks at the date today, which means that the fields in various parts of Daxia have been reclaimed on a large scale, and it is basically going well, and now it is necessary to sow seeds.

After Xia Qi made sure that there was no problem, he took out a jade seal and stamped it with his big seal.

The second document was written by the general who used to defend the city on the side of the royal city of Dayan, saying that the weapons and equipment have been worn out relatively quickly recently, and the escort from the Great Xia City takes too long, so he implores the establishment of an ordnance bureau on the side of the royal city of Dayan.

A while ago, Xia Qi merged the Casting Department and the Forging Department to establish the Ordnance Bureau, which specializes in forging ordnance. These weapons will be transported to different cities in proportion.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this document, but when you dig deeper, it becomes a big problem. The reason why Xia Qi established the Ordnance Bureau was to control the army, and if he gave the local authorities the right to manufacture ordnance, it would inevitably form a trend of not falling in the future.

Domain? Warlord?

Don't think that if your subordinates are loyal, everything will be worry-free, He Shen is loyal to Qianlong, but he is not greedy when he should be greedy?

Xia Qi picked up the pen and wrote two big words on it, "Not allowed".

Then he turned into a ruthless government machine, and if it was reasonable, he would stamp it with a seal to indicate that it was passed, and if it was unreasonable, he would be left behind, or he would be directly written with the word "inadmissible". Some are too outrageous, and Xia Qi will criticize a few words.

"Outrageous! With so many cities, there is no way to take a group of small water thieves? Looking at the documents in his hand, Xia Qi was so angry that he smashed on the desk.

The document records that a stream of water thieves appeared above the summer water, often robbing passing ships. But they are very smart, they only rob the old nobles of Dayan, and for the official ships of Great Xia, it is Qiu who has no offense, even if they bump into it by chance, they will behave very low-key.

Xia Shui, that is, the big river leading to Daxia Lake, after the merger of the two planets, Xia Shui became even wider, and the narrowest point was nearly twenty meters.

And as for why it is said that this group of people is smart, smart is smart, this gang of water thieves only robs the old nobles. These old aristocrats, in the former Dayan, naturally wanted to be arrogant and arrogant.

But now that Dayan has been destroyed by Xia Qi, the former nobles can only be people with their tails between their legs at this time, even if the goods are robbed, they can only swallow their anger.

And the reason why this group of water thieves was put on the bright side was because of a merchant ship they robbed, which was related to the lord of a certain city, so it was put on the face.

It's just that because all the ships in Great Xia were transferred by Xia Qi, these guys have been arrogant so far.

"What a bunch of idiots! Can't deal with it in the water, and can't you deal with it on the shore? I don't believe these guys can't eat or drink? You have to go ashore to buy supplies, right? ”

After Xia Qi scolded bitterly, he grabbed a blank document and wrote on it.

"Ordered Ti to ride to the scene of the crime and arrest the water thief."

Tiqi is a new department that Xia Qi has only recently set up to stabilize law and order in Great Xia.

There are currently sixteen cities in Great Xia, and the city is okay, there are patrols to maintain law and order, but outside the city is a mess, there are countless road blockers, among which the strongmen are going to kill people at every turn, and the chaos is simply not the boundary of Great Xia.

To this end, Xia Qi specially set up Tiqi.

On the bright side, Ti Qi roamed around Daxia, specializing in dealing with bandits in the wild, as well as chasing and chasing fleeing criminals. Secretly, it is to collect intelligence and investigate whether officials in various places are corrupt, disregarding human life and other illegal acts.

Because everyone wears red armor, it is called so.

However, there is no commander for the cavalry at the moment, because a suitable partner has not yet been found.

Xia Qi is quite interested in Zhang Liang, but this guy can't read a single word at present, and he is completely incompetent for this job.

For this reason, Xia Qi specially threw it in the school and learned to read first.

The other side......

Zhang Liang wandered around the Great Xia City, and his eyes were full of prosperity.

Great Xia City is really too prosperous, and the scale is also very large, just one commercial area, more than the entire Youxiong tribe.

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Liang once walked to the door of the jade shop, looking at the dazzling tone inside, his eyes were full of longing.

I thought that I would be like Xiong said, I would be arranged to work by His Majesty, and I would soon have money to buy jade. But he was disappointed, and he was not assigned a job, but was first placed in a school to learn writing.

Although he is interested in words, jade is his first interest at all times.

Looking at the jade in the jade shop, Zhang Liang decided that he wanted to work part-time and make money!

"Poof-" After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Xia Qihao choked to death.

He looked at Zhang Liang with a puzzled face and asked, "What do you say, you want to work and make money?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Liang nodded firmly.

Xia Qi looked at him with some doubts, with this small body, no matter where he goes, he will be disgusted, besides, he who has been engaged in something for a long time has a certain chance of gaining skills. Especially for fishing and logging, there is a good chance of acquiring skills.

There are already arrangements for Zhang Liang Xia Qi, he doesn't want his future right-hand man, and he still has a fishing/logging skill on his body, which will be laughed to death by other players.

"Why, give me a reason."

Zhang Liang twisted and said, "I...... I had my eye on a piece of jade in a jade shop, but ...... But ......"

"But you don't have any money, so you want to make money by working part-time to buy that jade back?"

"Yes!"

Looking at Zhang Liang with a determined face, Xia Qi asked, "Don't you know that the jade shop was opened by me?" Besides, do you know how long it takes for an ordinary job to be able to buy that piece of jade? ”

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and said, he really didn't understand these things.

Seeing this, Xia Qi took out a piece of jade pendant from his body and handed it to Zhang Liang.

This jade pendant is warm yellow throughout, and only a few simple patterns are carved on it.

Zhang Liang liked it more and more when he looked at it, so he stepped forward and caught the jade pendant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This is undoubtedly very rude, but Xia Qi didn't think about it, but comforted him with kind words: "I have other arrangements for you, the most important thing for you now is to learn the text as soon as possible in the school, understand?" ”

"Understood." Zhang Liangai couldn't put it down and stroked the jade pendant, and obeyed Xia Qi's words.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, summer has arrived.

According to Xia Qi's calculations, in this world, there are more than 180 days in winter, that is, six blue star months, and in spring, there are about four blue star months, and in summer, ......

According to Xia Qi's estimate, it should be about six months.

In autumn, it is shorter, about three months.

In recent times, Great Xia has been on the right track.

There used to be the Xiong tribe, but now there is a prototype of a huge pass.

Among them, the minister of the Ministry of Engineering said that there was a lot of pressure, and from the beginning of the construction of the other two cities on the Sanglin side, he began to prepare for the construction of the pass.

At present, the name of the pass has been determined, and it is called Tianxiong Pass.

On the other hand, the water thieves who had been making waves in the summer water have also been caught. The leader of the water thieves is called Li Jun, who is the current commander of the navy in Great Xia.

When Xia Qi ordered the extermination of this group of water thieves, it only took three days for Tiqi to exterminate them from receiving the order.

That Li Jun was a smart man, and the moment he saw Ti Cai, he ordered no resistance, and because of this, he and his men were not harmed.

After Li Jun's confession, he learned that he was originally one of the Great Yanshui Army, but he was very blind to the army's oppression of the people, and he would never be in the same league with it. Because of this, Li Jun was often excluded in the army.

When Xia Qi fought against the royal court, this guy saw that the situation was not good, and directly took his fleet to choose a mutiny, and when the overall situation was decided, this guy started a business without capital in Xia Shui, specializing in robbing the old aristocratic fleet that went back and forth.

At the same time, after hearing that Li Jun was captured by Ti Cai, some old aristocratic forces occurred one after another, demanding that Xia Qi be severely punished.

These guys were originally called arrogant when they were in Dayan, but after Dayan was destroyed by Dayan, they all picked up their tails and became people. At that time, Dayan had just surrendered, and in order to stabilize Xia Qi, he did not attack these noble forces.

Now these old aristocratic forces are unwilling to be lonely, and they have jumped out to regain their former glory, and they have begun to bare their teeth towards Xia Qi.

It just so happened that Xia Qi was also very disdainful of these tumors, and directly used this as an excuse to clean up the old nobles who used to be Dayan, and the things that were confiscated from their homes were called more than one.

The grain, gold, silver and jade are too many to count.

If these people are honest, Xia Qi doesn't mind letting them be rich for the rest of their lives, but the problem is that these guys are too greedy and think that they are the straw bales of the royal court.

After summoning Li Jun, Xia Qi directly appointed him as the commander of the Great Xia Water Army, responsible for forming the Great Xia Water Army.

Li Jun immediately knelt down to thank him, and his loyalty also rose gradually.

Seeing this, Xia Qi immediately auctioned the silver-level water combat skill book to him.

"Goo-go......o-go

Drinking the ice water in the cup in one gulp, Xia Qi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, now that Daxia has entered the middle of summer, but because of the backing of Daxia Lake, the temperature is not very high.

As for how the ice water came from, it was because he found the nitrate mine, which was on the other side of Daxia Lake, on the periphery of the Yushan Mountain Range. For the use of nitrate to make ice, I think everyone is no stranger.

After finding the nitrate, Xia Qi was excited to make the explosives, but in the end he failed.

One is that I didn't find the sulphur ore, and the other is because of the game mechanics.

According to Yang Guang, this is called rank locking.

That is, each rank actually has an upper limit of development, and when this upper limit is reached, unless it is promoted to the next level, the development of civilization will stagnate, and maybe it will be surpassed by the indigenous civilizations in the world.

In other words, even if Xia Qi made gunpowder, he would not blow it up. This is true even if you put it on the fire.

Lisuo finished reading the report document in his hand, maybe he had done a good job of prevention before, so far there has been no terrible outbreak of plague and flu in Great Xia, and there are many people who are tired from heat stroke, but the medical department has already developed a prescription for the symptoms of heat stroke, and the condition has been controlled in time.

At the same time, in order to reduce the probability of heat stroke, but also to improve the work efficiency in the future, Xia Qi also specially promulgated the "summer lunch break" decree, to put it bluntly, at noon when the sun is the most poisonous, most of the staff on the post can get a two-hour lunch break, and the time is the "sundial" that has just been made some time ago.

A small number of special positions are arranged for them to have a special shift system in the summer, and through the means of multiple shifts, the daily working hours of each of them are reduced.

It's also fortunate that this world is still like a blue star, there are twenty-four hours a day, otherwise there will be some trouble for the sundial to make.
