That's why Yang Song instructed him to selectively accept some civilians outside the pass, such as strong men, young girls, and young children.

Men can be used to mine, girls can be used to replace the originally unqualified southern barbarians, and young children can train dead soldiers.

The caravan of Xia Kingdom has set out again, this time with ten ordinary cargoes, twenty empty carriages, and a brigade of guards!

In less than a month, Zhou Wu came back and brought back information from outside the pass!

"Your Majesty, the refugees outside the pass are scattered like locusts. Wherever they go, all the plants, trees, soil and stones are eaten!"

After Zhou Wu came back, he met Yang Song and directly reported the tragic situation outside the pass.

He seemed to remember the miserable scenes again, sighed, and then said, "If you have some strength, you will become a bandit and rob the crowd. I don't know how many such bandits have encountered along the way."

Yang Song listened to Zhou Wu's statement expressionlessly. He knew that all this was because of this war. He was a mature monarch, not a passionate brave man. He would talk about justice, right or wrong! He only talked about interests! - The interests of Xia State!

Even if we talk about this, it is not because of the greed of these lord forces! If they did not make a fortune and did not intercept the caravan, there would be no war behind them!

And there are not so many ifs in this world!

"Well, thank you for your hard work. It's so chaotic outside the pass. You can go and rest for a while!" Yang Song nodded, and after comforting, he let Zhou Wu go down.

After Yang Song learned about the situation outside the pass, he felt relieved. It was not his cold-blooded and ruthlessness, but his position determined his thinking angle.

For him, the monarch and Xia Kingdom, the north is now as chaotic as possible. If it continues to be messy, it will be even more perfect.

Unfortunately, he knew that no matter how chaotic he was, there was a deadline. When the person died almost and the food was harvested again, the chaos would naturally disappear.

But Yang Song is preparing to develop steadily during the chaos of the other party, work hard to strengthen himself, and be prepared to meet new challenges!

With the continuous development, two years have passed like this, and Xia Kingdom has become stronger and stronger!

It is now the end of March of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and the one-month congress and a quarterly congress are being held at the same time.

"Your Majesty, in the new year, in March of early spring, 50,000 new people have been recruited and more than 500 new babies have been added. Now, there are more than 300,000 people in the Xia Kingdom!" Yang Zhong took a note and spread it out, and began to report to Yang Song and other officials.

"The other two towns on the northern passage have been built, namely "Shangdao Town" and "Shangdao Town", and the central town in the middle of the passage form three nodes of the passage."

"There are nearly two million mu of fields, 50,000 hectares of pastures, five forest farms, and two large mines, in addition to Feilong Island, there are two other large mines, one iron ore, one coal mine, and other small mines! "

Yang Zhong roughly reported on the development of recent times.

In fact, in addition to the two newly built towns reported by Yang Zhong just now, a new pioneer town has been added in the southwest between Lincai Town and Mushou Town, in the past two years, called "Annan Town", which mainly focuses on land reclamation and farming, and grazing as the supplement!

With so many fields, you can harvest about 800,000 tons of grain in one quarter. Because of fertilizer and excellent grain varieties, the grain output per mu is more than 500 kilograms!

Of course, not all fields are used to grow staple foods such as rice, wheat, and potatoes, as well as economic crops such as vegetables, fruits, and cotton and linen, otherwise they can produce more than one million tons of grain every quarter.

"Your High School, the tax revenue in this quarter has increased by a level compared to the previous quarter, and the revenue and expenditure have basically reached a balance. This is also due to the policy proposed by Youth School to encourage private workshops to meet domestic demand!"

Qian Liang has never felt as relaxed as he is now! Finally, the finances have finally reached a balance of income and expenditure! He has asked the king to fill in the fiscal gap that he had been in three years, and it makes him feel embarrassed if he says it!

"Your Majesty, the chaos outside the pass has completely subsided. The news I have already discovered, the four small territories have begun to regain their vitality, but the three large territories have grown a lot in the chaotic period!"

Chen Ping's information was still the same as usual, and he just mentioned it a little, because the usual information was reported directly to Yang Song in a timely and direct manner.

However, Changsun Sheng's diplomatic department did not report anything. After all, the caravan has not come out of seclusion several times in the past two years, so Yang Song made him a think tank and supervised all officials on his behalf.

The military was managed by him. In addition to the infantry brigade led by Di Qing and Lu Su, Zhang Wei's guard battalion was also expanded into a guard brigade. The 3,500-man guard brigade also had its own artillery - a city artillery brigade with twenty-seven city artillery!

Tianqian Pass was finally not guarded by the conventional infantry brigade for many years, but was defended alternately with the guard brigade. Therefore, the soldiers of the infantry brigade quickly formed their own families. The military salary of these soldiers was high and they had no money yet. In the eyes of the people, these were all popular!

Yang Song's personal guards have also expanded to a battalion of 1,100 people. In addition to the security needs, he also expanded the guards as military police or strategic reserves!

The military police are easy to understand, and the so-called strategic reserve team refers to an army that can hit the final sound effect at critical moments. Unfortunately, it is just an idea now and does not have the combat power.

Because as the monarch's guard, he has a very high status, and soldiers are selected from the best, and all equipment are given priority. Therefore, when you are fine, you will take turns to the military police who supervise and check the soldiers' discipline and style.

However, in Xia State, the gendarmerie is not called a gendarmerie, but a guard. In the eyes of soldiers, the role of these guards is a gendarmerie!

In other words, in the current Xia Kingdom, apart from the militia, there are also 8,100 regular troops!

In the Hall of Political Affairs, the report continues.

"Your High School of Qibing, the additional university schools in Tianqi City have been built, and the majors currently offered include: administration, astronomy, agriculture, smelting, machinery, chemical engineering, mathematics, architecture, foreign languages, law, etc."

Zhu Xi was responsible for the education of Xia Kingdom. Although he was the founder of Zhu Neo-Confucianism and had a high status in this world, he was just a conscientious educator and worked hard for the education of the people!

Although he has a sense of fame and fortune, this is not a bad thing. As long as he can manage Xia Guo's education well, Yang Song will not be stingy with a few medals!

Zhu Xi continued to report: "In addition to the middle school in Tianqi City, middle schools have also been built in these three places!"

As for the primary schools in every town and primary schools in every village, he never reported it because this is a standard configuration, just like the government, it is a must.

Moreover, all the schools were built by Yang Song's private funding, otherwise the current finance of Xia Kingdom would have gone bankrupt long ago.

He did this not to be a sucker, but education is related to the foundation of a country and a nation. Without education, the Xia Kingdom will not develop so quickly now!

Moreover, the patriotic and loyal ideological education courses that Yang Song asked the school to add can deeply strengthen his rule!
