Compared with the leisurely Wang Arthur, Jin Ming and others, Xia Qi was very busy.

In the Office Hall, the documents that he needed to process had been piled up into small hills.

The territory expanded so much at once, and a large area of ​​brand new land was waiting for him to explore.

At the same time, the territory around Daxia also needs to be explored again.

This annexed a dwarf civilization world, who knows if there will be any new changes in this world?

A series of reconnaissance teams and geological exploration teams were dispatched. Xia Qi felt that he would be busy in the next few years.

In addition to these, due to language barriers in the dwarf administrative region, Xia Qi could only make Romanov more trouble in the short term.

He was not worried that Romanov would cause him any trouble. The other party was a smart person and understood the current situation.

The two of them are now considered people on the same boat, but the difference is that Romanov's death has little impact on Xia Qi, but if Xia Qi is involved, then Daxia's wearing this one must die together.

During this period, Xia Qi used some of the only dwarf points in his hand to upgrade the dwarf civilization for the first time.

The additional experience Romanov accumulated over the years is precious to Xia Qi, which can help him avoid detours.

After simple discussion and consideration, Xia Qi finally invested the first dwarf point in the early stage into two projects.

The first project is the "Dwarf Blacksmith" mentioned before. The importance of this special professional project is no longer needed.

The second project, called "Dwarf Tavern", is a special building.

The effect of this special building is to increase the work efficiency of all dwarves in a city with "Dwarf Tavern", which is only a level one effect.

To be honest, since a long time ago, Xia Qi emphasized that drunk workers are not allowed to go to work, and even the translators wrote this into the "Da Xia Labor Law".

So, now he is confused about this special building.

Why can these dwarves drink alcohol every day improve their work efficiency? Shouldn’t it be a mistake to drink?

Xia Qi, who was puzzled, finally blamed this on the dwarf's habits.

A bunch of stinky alcoholics ~

But it doesn't matter, as long as it works, it's fine. As for other things, it's fine, as long as there is no work accident.

During this period, there was still a major project in the dwarf civilization.

Although the language problem has not been solved, according to Xia Qi's expectations, the project will take a long time, so it is better to start construction as soon as possible.

As for what this major project is, it is the water source issue.

Although the area where the dwarf civilization is located is rich in various ores, most of the land is quite barren and lacks water.

Regarding this problem, Romanov's treatment method in the early years was to use groundwater and dig a well to fetch water.

However, this method is not efficient in Xia Qi's opinion.

Therefore, he planned to simply carry out a wave of water conservancy projects, dig out enough artificial lakes, and then open a river channel to divert water.

This project will involve dozens of cities in the entire dwarf administrative region, and the scale of the project is insignificant.

There are dozens of cities in the entire dwarf administrative region. If you want to repair water conservancy projects, you must first confirm the route, terrain and other issues before you can draw a blueprint.

It can be said that this matter alone takes a lot of time.

As for the time to complete the entire project, Xia Qi estimated that it would take at least three to five years.

Of course, during this period, the development of other aspects of Daxia naturally cannot be left behind.

Xia Qi asked a group of gunpowder formulas obtained from the dwarf civilization, as well as design drawings of rifles and cannons, and finished products.

By the way, all the top talents in the Dwarf Administrative Region who were responsible for ordnance research were transferred to Daxia City.

As for the problem of language barriers, it is actually not a big problem for this group of people.

You should know that people in the Ordnance Research Department have three stars guaranteed their intelligence at least, and their learning ability is still very powerful.

For ordinary people, it is difficult to learn a foreign language, but for these high-quality talents with top learning abilities,

As long as they really want to learn and reach the level of simple communication, it is just a matter of holding hands.

In this way, a group of dwarf talents were added to the Daxia Ordnance Research Department.

Some of the two parts of gunpowder formula and cannon research are needed to discuss and study each other in places.

Not to mention the firearms, Daxia's firearms have just started, but the dwarves are actually working hard to study the rear-mounted rifle.

Once the research of the rear-mounted rifle is successful, the attack efficiency of the rifle troops will be greatly improved again, which can be regarded as a major breakthrough in the field of firearms.

Hall of Qinzheng.

Xia Qi leaned on the chair, flipping the information in the alliance channel.

Today is the trading day within the league.

The so-called trading day is that after everyone has been fighting for so long, they have obtained some treasure chests more or less, and the things they open from them are definitely not all what they need.

So, within the agreed time, everyone hangs out what they don’t need to sell and get civilization points, or exchanges for props they need.

Because the previous full-scale war had been fighting for too long, Xia Qi missed several trading days in the league, and now there is basically nothing good, which makes Xia Qi sigh.

However, on his side, there is a silver-level mesh gun design drawing that needs to be taken.

Originally, he kept this design drawing to use it when developing firearms, but now he has already annexed the dwarf civilization, so this design drawing is useless.

It's not a good thing. Although it's silver-level, the mezzanine is still a bit unpopular. Most players would rather continue to use crossbows and arrows than be too lazy to mess with this.

Seeing that no one in the league was interested in this, Xia Qi didn't care too much and directly made a fairly appropriate price and put it in the auction.

In the days that followed, Xia Qi's daily work gradually became busy.

The troops sent out to explore the terrain and confirm the resource points last year have now sent the reports back.

They discovered a large amount of ore resources on the western border, and the abundance of their minerals surprised Xia Qi, which also contained several newly discovered ores.

In the southern border, the types of resources are even richer.

In addition to ore resources, many herbs and crops have also been found.

After some consideration, Xia Qi said: "The newly discovered medicinal materials are handed over to the Medical Department. If they can be planted, they will be studied. If they cannot be planted, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the same is true."

"As for the ore..."

Xia Qi picked up his pen and found several ore resources in the new ore site.

"First establish mining sites near these veins with small reserves and relatively important reserves. If you want to mine some of those new ores first, send them to the Ores Research Institute. Register the other veins."

He quickly ordered things one by one, and during this period, Zhang Liang handed over a report.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest statistical report sent, and it has been counted."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Qi, who took the statistical report, read it carefully.

What this report counts is the reserves of various resources in Daxia.

If Xia Qi wants to launch any major project, he must first confirm the reserves of manpower and corresponding resources.

Therefore, this statistical report can be said to be very important. It counts once a quarter and four times a year. The current statistical report is this spring.

This is completely different from the game.

The changes in various resources in the game are feedback in real time and are directly displayed on the main interface and can be seen at a glance.

But it doesn't work here. This statistical process is not only cumbersome, but also takes a lot of time and energy to conduct statistics every time.

The most important point is that the final statistics may not be accurate.

This is not the current era, even in the Blue Star Society with big data, its statistical results are quite different.

In this statistical report, one of the issues that Xia Qishu is most concerned about is the amount of gunpowder reserves.

The total war in the past two years almost wiped out all the gunpowder in Daxia and the dwarves' hands, especially the big explosion in Iron Fortress, I don't know how many tons of gunpowder were blown up.

Until now, it has not yet returned to its original level.

However, it is also a technical job to allocate gunpowder, and it is impossible to increase the number of people to do this. In addition, on weekdays, the training of rifle and artillery units in the army has to be used up. It is really not easy to save up, so I have to take it slowly.

Compared with the slow increase in reserves, the fusion problem that originally caused Xia Qi to have a headache, progressed quite smoothly.

Originally, Xia Qi thought that it would be very difficult for dwarf civilization to integrate into Daxia before he solved the language problem.

But it turns out that it doesn't seem to be the case.

This reminded Xia Qi that he had heard a joke online. A foreigner came to China and spoke the local dialect so much in just a few years.

So much so that the foreigner forgot his original mother tongue.

In fact, whether it is humans or dwarves, everyone always has to learn new skills in order to survive and adapt to new environments.

Only with pressure can there be motivation.

The expansion of territory brought great workload to Daxia.

During the process of confirming the resource points and opening the horizon, three indigenous tribes and a goblin tribe were also incorporated.

Of course, these things are just small things for Xia Qi today.
