Chapter 1179

The court meeting of Xia state.

Su Xun sat at the top, and the civil and military officials at the bottom were on both sides according to their grades.

"Next, spring ploughing is the most important task. All the labor force should put in spring ploughing!"

"At present, the country collects 1300 Jin of millet through various channels, reclaims 50% of the wasteland, and only by next year can it be self-sufficient and leave enough millet as seeds for the next year."

"For two years at most, everyone in China can eat millet and meat as a dish. Spring farming is the most important, and the rise and fall of the country is closely related. Those who hinder spring farming will be killed."

Spring ploughing was coming, and Xia people didn't know how to plant it, so Su Xun set up the Ministry of agriculture. He taught the officials of the Ministry of agriculture, and the officials went to teach the people.

When the population increases, the Ministry of agriculture will also expand. When it comes to spring ploughing, the officials of the Ministry of agriculture will be sent to all parts of the country to direct the planting of grain.

"Do you still have this performance?"

"Wang Shang, the people of the prospecting team found two iron mines and one copper mine in the West and south of Xiacheng the day before yesterday." The Minister of the Ministry of industry gave a report.

The prospecting team is specialized in prospecting and belongs to the subordinate department of the Ministry of industry, so they all report to the Ministry of industry first, and then the Ministry of industry reports to Su Xun for instructions.

Su Xun didn't expect that there were so many mines around him. The primitive world that had not been mined was really treasure.

In the past two months, the prospecting team has discovered a gold mine, two copper mines and two iron mines.

It seems that we can start casting money. After all, barter is too much trouble.

"Now there are five iron mines in the Middle Kingdom. One is specially used for making armor, one for making ploughs and other civilian ironware, and the other three for making weapons such as swords and arrows." Su Xun separated the functions of iron ore.

The Minister of the Ministry of war came out: "my Lord, now there are 6000 young men in the Xia Kingdom, and there are more than 3000 soldiers. My minister suggested that we should expand our armaments to prevent the tribes from committing crimes again."

There was no minister in the Ministry of war, which was managed by Su Xun. What the Minister of the Ministry of war now proposed was Su Xun's suggestion.

After all, it's going to take a lot of fighting.

"According to the order, three thousand soldiers were recruited from the wild people. With one thousand soldiers as an army and the original one thousand soldiers, four armies were set up, namely, Zhuque, Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu. They were stationed ten miles away from Xiacheng, East, West, North and south."

"In addition, 500 soldiers were recruited from the people, with the bodyguard of the orphan king as the backbone to set up a badminton army, which was the wing of the country and stationed in the city, responsible for the defense of the Xia City and guarding the orphan king."

The people are 100% trustworthy. As for the army made up of civilians, it's better to stay outside the city.

Just in case, he doesn't want to be sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms at night. Suddenly, there are shouts of killing in the city.

"With the increase of the number of soldiers, the military system needs to be changed. After that, five men and five men will set up a five commander, ten men will set up a commander for one Shi, and fifty men will set up a Dubo for one Bo."

"One hundred people set up a village commander, two hundred people set up a military officer for Yiqu, four hundred people set up a Sima for a department, eight hundred people set up a Duwei for a brigade, two thousand people set up a Xiaowei for a battalion, and four thousand people set up a Zhonglang general for an army."

At present, there are five armies in the state of Xia and the badminton army. It is reasonable to say that they need 20000 talents to fill the army. However, no army is full now and can only be expanded in the future.

This military system was based on the late Han Dynasty, because Su Xun only remembered it clearly.

In other dynasties, they can't remember all of them completely, so it's easy to make them into four different dynasties. They simply copy the Han military system.

The meeting lasted a whole morning, and the next morning was just the time for lunch.

The lunch is very simple, four dishes and one soup, two three ingredients and two meat dishes, for four people.

The staple food is also meat

No way, do not plant millet, can only eat meat, this kind of life is painful.

In the middle of the meal, a bodyguard suddenly reported, "my Lord, the man you sent out to look for horses last year has come back. He is waiting to be summoned outside the palace."

"Come on in." Su Xun didn't even have the heart to eat. He sent people out a few years ago. There was no news for several months. He almost forgot about it.

After a while, three injured and embarrassed youths came in under the guidance of the bodyguard.

"See the king."

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you? What about other people? " He photographed dozens of people going out.

After all, horses were about cavalry, and he thought of them as the most important thing.

Why did you come back to these three?

"My Lord, they are all dead. We live up to our expectations and finally find the horse that the king said."

"How did they die?" When Su Xun heard that he had found the horse, he was very excited, but he didn't ask.

Seeing that Su Xun didn't care about the horse first, but about the cause of death of his classmate, they were deeply moved. Then they slowly came to the experience of more than four months.

After they left the city of Xia, they took Su Xun's sketch of the horse and went all the way north, but they didn't hear about the horse for a whole month.

They were a little frustrated, but they couldn't bear to live up to the king's order, so they had to go north.

About half a month later, it rained for a few days. One of them found a footprints when he peed. He thought it was a bit like the horseshoe in the painting. He took out the drawing and compared it. It was very similar indeed.After five days, they finally caught up with each other.

But the actual situation is different from what they imagined. The horses have been found, but they have their own owners.

"Those strange looking people with blue eyes are killing a village on horseback..."

"Blue eye?" Su Xun interrupted him, because he thought of the northern blue eyed barbarians that Xing had said.

But the blue eye barbarians are still in the north. How did they enter the South quietly.

Moreover, the barbarians actually have cavalry. They should have ridden horses only recently. If there were cavalry in the past, the horde of stars would not follow suit.

But Su Xun didn't see cavalry in the star tribe.

"Yes, it's blue eyes. They are extremely cruel. They eat human brains raw. If it wasn't for the rest of my classmates to protect their lives, we would never have come back."

"How many of them." Su Xun's eyes were slightly cold. The alien people dared to go deep into the South and kill his Xia soldiers. It's time to break them to pieces!

And since they can quietly bypass the blockade of the big tribes and go deep into the south, it proves that they may have found a new passage to the south.

If this is true, then we should inform the star tribe and other big tribes to make preparations as soon as possible.

Or you can take this opportunity to kill the barbarians from this new channel.

"Back to the king, there were about a hundred of them. They were all equipped with two horses, holding spears and bows and arrows. They chased us all the way, and we escaped only by hiding in the river. Those blue eyed people should be five days away from the north of Xia."

"Come on! Call the general's study to discuss the matter. " Su Xun got up and went out while he was talking.

Bai Yu looked at the embarrassed three: "you three are all meritorious. Go down and have a rest. Take good care of yourself. The order to reward you three will be given in three days."

"Yes, three princesses. They are leaving."

The three saluted and turned away.
