Chapter 136: Unusual Thoughts
Xia Qi and Mingzhu chatted very openly, without the slightest jerky feeling that they hadn't seen for a long time.
The two also talked a lot, and when Xia Qi knew that Mingzhu was relying on the economic flow to play and crush the opponent in the economy, Xia Qi was also dumbfounded.
However, this is very clear.
Then, Xia Qi suddenly remembered that among the ransom paid by Yulia Lily before, there was a skill book called "Appraisal", which was of no use to him at all.
Xia Qi: Send you something good, you can receive it.
Later, Xia Qi initiated a transaction with Mingzhu and sent the skill book to Mingzhu at the price of one civilization point.
Mingzhu: Good thing, you just gave it to me?
Xia Qi: What's yours and mine, who are these two with whom? And, have you forgotten? I'm also the first place in the game competition, and the mystery package I got is also a skill. It's the one called the "Eye of Insight".
Mingzhu suddenly understood, and she also knew the function of the "Eye of Insight".
Mingzhu: No wonder you gave me this skill book, it turns out that you have a better one, and it made me excited in vain.
Xia Qi cried and laughed: What......
Mingzhu: Okay, I'm kidding you. Anyway, do you want to come and sit with me?
Xia Qi's heart moved, and he almost agreed to her request, but in the end, he refused.
Xia Qi: No, the time for the truce token on my side hasn't passed yet. Besides, friends can't hack each other, can they? In this way, when someone invades you, even if you have the ability to drive them away, you must drag them out. After seven days, ask me for help, and when the time comes, I will help you get a high rating.
Mingzhu: That's fine.
Xia Qi: By the way, do you lack bronze weapons over there?
Mingzhu: Of course it's missing! Although I have encountered copper ore on my side, the mining amount has not been increased, and I dare not trade with other players, so I can only hang it for the time being.
Xia Qi: That's done. I still have a lot of bronze weapons here, how can I give them to you?
Mingzhu: Wait a minute, I'll initiate a trade with you.
[The player "Mingzhu" initiated a trade with you, do you agree?] 】
"Yes."
Without saying a word, Xia Qi directly ordered the warehouse to transfer a thousand spears, one hundred bronze armor, five hundred leather armor, five hundred bronze swords, and five hundred shields.
When the deal was over, both of them were taken aback.
Looking at the mountains of grain, Xia Qi was a little dumbfounded.
Xia Qi: No, don't you have so much food over there?
Mingzhu: It's okay, there is a big rice field outside the camp, and every harvest can't be finished, so I can only watch it rot in the ground.
Xia Qi: .......
Xia Qigang wanted to ask the other party if it was the dog carrier he was looking for in the game, but when he thought of himself......
Well, if Mingzhu is a dog, then he is at least a GM himself.
Mingzhu: Wow, I didn't expect you to be so rich, I'm also a local tyrant, right?
Xia Qi: It's okay.
Xia Qi's heart was warm, and he smiled happily, originally thinking of helping the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to have the same idea.
Thinking about it, Xia Qi suddenly slapped his thigh, yes! Didn't Mingzhu study economics? Can I ask her to help me come up with ideas and sort out the sparse economy of my Great Xia?
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qi directly told Mingzhu what he thought.
Mingzhu: Yes, you can, but the situation is different from era to era, and you need to formulate the corresponding economic system according to the current situation of your territory. And as your territory grows, the system is not set in stone.
Xia Qi: Understood.
Immediately, Xia Qi told Ming Zhu everything about the situation in Great Xia.
Mingzhu: I didn't expect your guy's territory to develop so well.
Xia Qi: It's all a fluke.
Mingzhu: Okay, now I'm going to ask you a core question. The core of the economy is money, and the most important reason why money can be exchanged for other goods is that it is linked to things. For example, the gold standard, the silver standard, the grain standard, etc.
Xia Qi thought about it, to be honest, he really wanted to do it directly in one step and get a gold standard or something, but the current situation is not very mature, so he thought about it again and again, and said: Let's get a grain standard first. Anyway, these can be changed later, right?
Mingzhu slandered: You said it lightly, do you know how complicated it is to build an economic system?
Xia Qi: Then I'll trouble you, it's a big deal, I'll make a promise to you.
The two chatted for a long time, and then the chat ended.
Xia Qi's eyes were shining, not only because he had met Mingzhu again and the economic aspects that had been bothering him were about to be solved, but more importantly, he thought of an alternative path.
It's like building an economic system, he doesn't understand it, someone understands it.
There are millions of players in the civilized battlefield, economy, law, humanities, literature, etc., there must be players who know about this, and he can find these players to help.
If you are willing, you can pay them, and if you don't, you can only let your army go over and talk.
I believe that under the influence of their own army, those players should be very happy.
Time passed day by day, and Daxia was completely peaceful in the world, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, resting at sunset as before, and living a full and healthy life.
However, on this day, the quiet life was finally broken.
[Player "Yang Hui" has launched an invasion against you]
In an instant, Great Xia entered a state of emergency.
One day later......
"Your Majesty, report on the battle from the front!" One of the guards rushed in quickly with the battle report in his hand.
Xia Qi took the battle report and looked at it, and his two eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
As I said before, the gains and losses in the four directions of Great Xia.
Of these, the southernmost one is the least of his worries. With the existence of the Yushan Mountain Range and Tianxiong Pass, it is really difficult for ordinary players to break through these double obstacles, and even if they break through, they are also blocked by Daxia Lake.
As a human, it would be best if the invading player appeared directly in the Great Summer Lake.
However, the players who invaded this time did not appear in the Yushan Mountains or in the Great Xia Lake, but appeared in the grasslands north of Qingyan City.
As the most prominent city in the north of Great Xia, it is no surprise that Qingyan City has once again become the front line.
It just so happened that the Kreh tribe was now located not far from Qingyan City, and the work of the lancers and archers was also in full swing.
It stands to reason that with these two ace armies, Xia Qi's face shouldn't be so ugly, but there are no absolutes, just like this time, he met his nemesis.
According to the description in the battle report, that Yang Hui seemed to have brought a large number of large shield soldiers and spearmen this time.
There is no doubt that this is a fairly classic 'contradictory combination', and it is also one of the mainstream play styles of the slow attack type, with the big shield soldier holding the shield in front, and the spearman advancing under the cover of the big shield soldier with the length of the spear, which can be said to be a very stable panacea configuration, plus the deliberately spread out advance formation.
With such a configuration, not only the cavalry, but even the archers were restrained to death.
Xia Qi will either transfer the infantry to fight hard, or he will mobilize enough eight-bull crossbows and bombard him directly!
In the middle of his thoughts, Xia Qi quickly wrote a warrant and handed it to the previous guard.
"Let Li Chuan and Xiong lead their troops to Qingyan City to support, and tell them that capturing the leader of the outsiders alive is the first priority, and if they can't be captured alive, then kill them, and if they can't even kill them, then drive the other party to the depths of the grassland."
"Subordinates obey!" After receiving the warrant from Xia Qi's hand, the guards led a team of men and horses to set off immediately.
In this battle, Xia Qi did not plan to rush to the front line in person, and when he personally gathered his troops and then led his troops to Qingyan City, at least three or five days have passed, I am afraid that in the end he can only run for nothing.
And he is also the emperor who has a large territory under his command, usually has a lot of opportunities, busy government affairs, every time there is an invasion war, he needs to go to the front line in person, it is inevitable that it will be too tiring, I am afraid that it will also accumulate into illness.
After figuring this out, Xia Qi plans to relax his heart a little, the generals under his command are not mediocre, you have to believe in their abilities, it is easy to worry about everything, this can be regarded as his own player's illness.
At the same time, on the other side, Qingyan City, located in the northernmost part of Great Xia, was not so comfortable, and the siege of the city for several days made Yang Hui show a strong dedication to breaking through the city gate.
The most important thing is that he discovered Xia Qi's war horse resources here.
In the era of cold weapons, it is not easy to raise some cavalry, to some extent, except for some special civilizations, cavalry can be said to be the most resource-intensive type of troops, in the case of grabbing war horse resources, it is estimated that any player will not be soft, of course, he is no exception!
"Keep attacking the city, push up, push up!" At this time, Yang Hui couldn't wait to occupy this city.
As long as you occupy this city, then all the war horses in the city will be your own!
This guy doesn't know that in Qingyan City, Xia Qi still has two cities that are mainly used to raise and train war horses, otherwise he may be directly red-eyed.
Outside Qingyan City, looking at the army in the distance that was constantly attacking the gates of White Horse City, Silan frowned.
"Isn't that Kree guy here yet? Although the enemy's siege force is not strong, in the face of such a continuous siege, Qingyan City is afraid that it will not be able to hold out for a few days. ”
Silan's light cavalry units and Kereh archery cavalry units themselves have the ability to fight alone on the grassland, and their fighting styles are also different, so they usually act separately in order not to get in the way of each other.
But this time, in the face of the opponent's highly targeted "contradictory combination", rushing forward is basically a dead end, and Silan's light cavalry troops undoubtedly need a little cover.
And for the sake of safety, the precious garrison of Qingyan City obviously cannot be used lightly.
In this way, at this time, Silan could only wait patiently for Kereh's archers' troops to come and cover him.
