Chapter 22 Simulating Internal Affairs



From then on, Xia Zhe finally let go and began to let himself go further!

Now that the city simulation management game sandbox is ready, play a few more games!

Although it is virtual.

But seeing the blocks that I planned with my own hands being upgraded continuously, various mines being in full swing, various workshops producing continuous results, and markets everywhere being filled with trade goods, I still feel a sense of accomplishment!

The news that the king had built a new sand table soon reached the ears of the prime minister and the high priest through the family members sent by the three generals.

The two were quite interested in this novel operation of simulating internal affairs and would come to take a peek from time to time.

Seeing the joy, the two were also amazed.

Especially the Prime Minister.

I saw with my own eyes the king’s complicated yet reasonable internal affairs settings, and also saw with my own eyes the fruitful results of the simulation management.

The Prime Minister's admiration for the King is beyond words.

Not surprisingly, the Prime Minister and the High Priest also had their own plans.

Both of them began to select talents from their own families and took turns to send them to the palace to serve as porters for Xia Zhe to play games. Learn about internal affairs!

After such training, the young talents of both ethnic groups also benefited a lot.

They also had a personal experience of the king's all-round talents in literature and martial arts!

A few days later, the huge project of expanding the city began in full swing.

Thanks to the smooth communication in the early stages, everything went smoothly.

When the people of Stobi heard that the city was going to be expanded, they were overjoyed.

As soon as the Prime Minister posted the notice to collect bricks for the city, a large number of people came to donate, and the bricks in the square were piled up into a mountain.

Everyone hopes to see the bricks they have made on the city walls of the future!

The batch of granite that was originally idle outside the north gate was also fully utilized.

Thousands of stonemasons worked day and night to polish and splice, creating towering and sturdy city walls, arrow towers and royal cities.

Some of the extra stones were used to build a larger and more majestic new temple!

Seeing these imposing buildings, every citizen is filled with pride!

The high priest's trade agreement was also implemented successfully.

The first batch of 3,000 tons of Lillian wheat cakes arrived at Wheat Tully, which immediately aroused great enthusiasm among the barbarians!

The old king of the tribe came out in person, brought two princes and a group of concubines, and treated the high priest as a special VIP guest!

After careful inquiry, the high priest found out.

The Little McTullys are counting on this batch of Lillian Wheat Cakes to win over the wavering elements in the rival Big McTully tribe!

The Second Prince has been daring to defend himself and not attack, just waiting for this change!

Without any hesitation, the Little Tari tribe readily paid a hundred times the amount of beef.

Even the 200,000 tons provided to Stoby in the early stage became a gift because of a casual remark made by King Wheat Tally during the banquet!

Not counted in trade deals!

In this way, the food supply needed to mobilize hundreds of thousands of workers was solved at once!

As soon as they received the news, the second and third generals took action.

One quickly recalled half of the elites from each security point to mobilize new immigrants and form transport and auxiliary teams.

In just three days, 300,000 strong laborers were gathered.

The other, with a powerful wave of his hand, pulled out the main forces from the copper mine and weapons workshop. A full 50,000 elites were sent to the designated location to begin building the city wall.

Hearing that they were building a wall for the newly expanded city, these 50,000 passionate young people were full of fighting spirit.

They were not afraid of hard work or fatigue, and worked diligently from dawn to dusk. The new city wall they built was much taller and stronger than the previous one in Stobi!

The general and Achilles, who were responsible for solving the financial problem, were of course not idle either.

Achilles paraded around the western border of Stobi with two legions of heavy infantry.

Before he could even open his mouth, three small city-states, which were slightly stronger than Stobi, came over and showed their goodwill.

joke!

Achilles, the god of death, was a ruthless man who wiped out the entire Macedonian army!

I wouldn't dare fight him no matter who I fight!

I heard that Achilles just wanted to borrow money and not only would he repay it all next year, but he would also pay interest.

The three kings did not hesitate and immediately nodded and did as they were told!

In this way, the funding source for Stobi's expansion was solved at once.

The general achieved results beyond expectations.

The caravan from the Southeast Port received an invitation from the general and visited the copper mine and weapons workshop in Stobi as scheduled.

Stobi's traditional specialty product - refined copper, has received unanimous praise.

However, unexpectedly, the merchants were more interested in the three main products of the Stobi Weapon Workshop - copper helmets, copper mail armor and copper-skinned oak shields.

They actually offered a price a hundred times higher than the same weight of refined copper, intending to purchase the weapons directly.

Why sell raw materials when you can make a lot of money by making finished products?

Without hesitation, the general immediately signed a large order for twelve ships of weapons per year.

Anyway, due to the limited number of weapon craftsmen, the copper refined in the Royal Copper Mine in the past few months is far from being used up.

The Prime Minister and the two generals had used the national treasury's money to buy a large amount of refined copper from the public at a low price, but it was still lying dormant in the warehouse!

Even if the main force of mining and copper smelting went to build the city wall, there was still at least a year's worth of raw materials for making weapons.

The weapons workshop can definitely work overtime in a year!

Work hard to make money!

The thriving scene infected everyone in Stoby!

Everyone admires Wang’s wisdom from the bottom of their hearts!

Full of hope for the future!

The weather is getting colder, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For two months, Xia Zhe would habitually look down at the city below every day when he got up to see what changes had taken place.

However, the large terrace of his bedroom faced the opposite side of the copper mine.

The city expansion was extending to the other side, and Xia Zhe was completely invisible from the terrace.

He didn't have much to say except for seeing the brick houses of the residents being built one by one and the city streets changing their appearance.

In Xia Zhe's opinion, the only change on this side is that the city wall has been obviously raised a lot.

The walls of the royal palace, the city gate tower in the distance, and the arrow towers at the four corners also seemed to have been updated with better materials.

Otherwise, there are no new changes.

Of course, even so, with the obvious strengthening of the city defense and the comprehensive upgrading of residential houses, Stobi looks brand new in Xia Zhe's eyes!

This also makes him feel better when playing games every day!

Xia Zhe hasn't been to the daily meetings in the palace's front hall for a long time.

He did this on purpose.

I was just afraid that my appearance would scare the Prime Minister.

What if this restricts the Prime Minister's hands and makes him hesitant to act in a way that would harm him? Wouldn't that be superfluous?

As the weather continued to cool, the wind on the boulders beside the world map sandbox became increasingly biting.

Recently, Xia Zhe has been spending more time in the city simulation game management sandbox.
