And since it was a shift rotation system, today he was resting while another person in the office would take their turn to rest tomorrow.

In other words, during this period, there were only three people on duty in their secretary's office, and each person would have a heavier workload than usual.

Thus, he planned to go to bed early today.

A night passed without incident, and after enjoying his bi-weekly day off, early in the morning, Lu O G with a worried expression was scooping pumpkin porridge with a wooden spoon.

Shiao Yazzi, can we discuss something? No way, your majesty.

The doctor said, "You just recovered and you can't eat too much meat at every meal.

" The girl Lu Yi, responsible for taking care of Lu G's diet and daily life, was particularly stubborn at that moment.

Sigh, I'm exhausted.

The pumpkin porridge made from all natural ingredients, even without any seasoning was quite delicious due to the faint sweetness of the pumpkin itself.

However, he had been drinking porridge for over a month.

Every breakfast was porridge, and he was about to vomit.

After drinking half a bowl of pumpkin porridge with a gloomy face, Luog stated this was already his limit.

Xiao Yzi, to be honest, at least change my breakfast to steamed buns and soy milk.

But the doctor said porridge is easier to digest, your majesty.

You sit all morning and don't exercise much.

Hearing this, Lu G felt a stomach ache and then put on a serious expression.

About 10 seconds later, our Luigi girl decisively retreated.

Well, okay, a small interlude.

After finishing breakfast, Lu G quickly flipped through the reports already placed on his desk.

These were casualty reports and loot statistics from the earlier battle of Bama City.

The casualties in that war were actually not significant.

After all, the city defense commander had steadfastly defended the walls before reinforcements arrived, avoiding direct conflict between the two armies as much as possible.

So, the focus was on the loot.

That merchant army had indeed gifted him quite a few good items, seizing a large number of bronze shields, spears, bows and arrows, helmets, and leather armor, plus two crossbows, a siege engine, and 372 surrendered soldiers.

This significantly increased the quantity of his weaponry.

Although fighting involved risks, as long as it was handled well and did not go ary, it could truly lead to greater wealth.

However, for Lu G at this moment, the most valuable were not those weapons and equipment, but the 372 surrendered soldiers.

After all, he was in the process of expanding his forces.

Unlike the ordinary people of the myriad worlds of civilization, these surrendered soldiers could be directly sent to the barracks, and basically no one would object.

As for the two crossbows and the siege engine, which were of little use to him, Lu Gi decisively opened his friend list, intending to send a message to Yiqing Shien, planning to trade them to her as usual.

However, as soon as he pressed the send button after typing the message, the system prompted him that he was currently in a city defense battle and the message could not be sent.

Well, due to the fact that the actual combat had long since ended, Lu G had forgotten about this matter.

It seemed that this could only wait until the battle officially concluded.

With this thought, Lu G casually took a piece of paper from his desk and made a note of this matter.

He had too many various tasks at the moment, and without making a note, he probably wouldn't remember it later.

Updates are here.

Thanks to book friends, drunken dream often.

Happy monthly reading and three kingdoms poison master jiasu 2 for the rewards.

End of this chapter.

Chapter 329.

to say I'm not here every time I return for vacation.

The documents on my desk are always piled up more than usual.

However, this situation has already eased a lot.

The 10-level classification of documents allows the lords of each sub city to more clearly differentiate some documents that were originally ambiguously categorized.

It seems tedious, but in reality, it unexpectedly saves them from a lot of entangled issues.

At the same time, I can also more clearly allocate corresponding processing permissions based on this classification according to the work capabilities of each secretary and lord, significantly reducing my own workload.

After quickly reviewing several reports at hand, I turned to look at the sky outside the window.

If I push myself, I should be able to finish everything before dark.

Just as I was thinking this, a guard quickly entered the office and reported, "Your majesty, the minister of the Armory Research Department, Yishen, to say I'm not here.

" Upon hearing that little ancestors name, I instinctively flinched and quickly took a sip of tea to calm my nerves.

My mortal brain can no longer keep up with that genius's thought process, so please spare me.

The members of the guard team were obviously clear about the situation between his majesty and Yishen.

For a moment, everyone's lips involuntarily twitched.

And then they heard the announcement from Zhao Song, who quickly explained, "Your majesty misunderstood.

It was Minister Yishen from the Armory Research Department who sent someone to inform you that the hand crossbow is finished.

" The tea I just sip sprayed out immediately.

After the initial shock, what replaced it was not overwhelming joy, but a feeling of tears streaming down my face.

Has it finally been completed? wiping away my bittersweet tears.

Ever since Yi Shien started researching the hand crossbow, facing one increasingly tricky problem after another.

Who knows how I managed to hold on until now.

At this moment, I practically felt an impulse to laugh out loud to the heavens.

I stood up and said, "Let us go see.

" Setting aside the fact that I was almost driven crazy by various tricky problems, the completion of a hand crossbow is undoubtedly a significant step for the military development of an entire civilization.

This represents the birth of a new troop type, the crossbowman.

After quickly arriving at the Armory Research Department, I waved my hand, signaling Yishin and others to be at ease.

Then my gaze fell directly on the finished product of the hand crossbow.

To be honest, it was much larger than I had imagined.

However, thinking about the current technology level, it would be quite challenging to create a smaller hand crossbow.

Being able to produce one like this is already thanks to Yen, the genius master of weaponry.

Has it been test fired? I asked.

Just finished the final adjustments.

We haven't officially test fired it yet, your majesty, Yishian casually replied.

Then, I want to try it myself.

I was evidently very interested in the hand crossbow.

After all, this thing is something I would rarely get a chance to play with in the real world.

After quickly confirming the operation method with Yishien, I found it wasn't too difficult to handle considering I had participated in half of the research.

However, pulling the string was quite strenuous, which couldn't be helped.

It's one of the clear drawbacks of the hand crossbow.

If the heavy crossbow can be likened to a siege cannon in the cold weapon era, then the hand crossbow status is essentially analogous to firearms in that era.

Standing in the designated testing area of the Armory Research Department, I posed with the hand crossbow, looking quite the part.

Then I pulled the trigger.

In almost the blink of an eye, everyone heard a dull thud.

And after reacting, they all looked toward the distant wooden target where the bolt had hit the bullseye, prompting a chorus of amazement and shouted, "Her majesty is mighty.

" The system prompt also rang out officially.

System prompt: congratulations to player Lu OG for successfully developing the hand crossbow.

Listening to the praises from my subordinates and the systems notification, I chuckled a couple of times, but didn't t feel overly proud because I knew very well that one of the hand crossbows characteristics is its high accuracy.

It's just shooting at a wooden target.

With a bit of practice, many people could achieve this effect.

And it doesn't mean I'm particularly remarkable.

It's worth mentioning that archers and crossbowmen as some of the few ranged units in the entire cold weapon era will undoubtedly have a large number of board people who will compare these two troop types.

Once such comparisons arise, various provocators and contrarians will appear and this issue will likely escalate into a fierce argument.

To put it simply, the existence of these two weapons does not conflict at all.

It's like saying that once you have electric bike, you must eliminate all bicycles and stop their production, which is simply nonsensical.

Returning to the topic, archers rely on human strength for their attacks, while crossbowmen use mechanical force.

Based on this premise, the branches of the two troop types have already diverged clearly.

In a war during the cold weapon era, it is also clearly stated that usually in battles, the heavy crossbow crossbow carts first fires in unison followed by the crossbowmen and then the archers who fire in three rounds.

By the time the enemy is in front, it is finally the direct clash of both armies.

From this description alone, a lot of information can be inferred.

Firstly, the order of attack basically confirms the effective range and both the heavy crossbow and crossbowmen generally only have one opportunity to fire while archers have three rounds.

To use terminology from shooting game players, this means archers have a fast reload speed.
