The end of the sixth year of the Apocalypse.

After more than half a year of development, the national strength of Xia State has increased exponentially.

At the summary meeting at the end of the year, Yang Song said: "Everyone, a year has passed. I see the hard work of you in the year. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Your wise! This is my duty!" Many ministers stood up and bowed and said in unison.

In such a scene, Yang Song is now familiar with it. Although it is just a form, it is also an indispensable part.

"Okay, let's start reporting from the Executive Office." Yang Song announced the beginning of the summary meeting.

Xun Yu stood up and bowed to Yang Song and the ministers, sat down and reported: "As of yesterday, the country has a population of more than 800,000 and a new population of nearly 400,000, of which more than 500,000 new babies are more than 50,000. This is thanks to the fertility encouragement policy of the emperor."

Yang Song smiled and raised his hand and signaled: "Very good, let's continue."

"It's the lord. The first phase of construction of Siling County in the Linhai Basin has been completed. The fields are rectified and the land is nearly 1,000 square kilometers, and the residents are more than 100,000." Xun Yu reported on the construction of Siling County.

"Linhai Town, near Shanhaiguan to the north of the Linhai Basin, has also been built, and the waterway is used normally. Linhai Town has more than 30,000 people living in it, and so many people are due to the opening of the waterway. In addition, there are ten shipping ships under the name of the shipping company." This reports about the waterway information.

"The commercial point in the valley outside Shanhaiguan has also begun to be established due to the plague outside the pass. It is expected to cover an area of ​​ten square kilometers. The city wall, the central square, and a one-kilometer-long commercial street have been built. Please name this city." After reporting on the establishment of the commercial point, Xun Yu bowed and asked Yang Song to name this place.

Yang Song nodded and pondered for a moment: "This city is the window for our country to the outside world at this stage, and it is also a platform for showing the Xia Kingdom to the outside world. Our country has always taken it as its mission to educate barbarians, so it is called "Guihua City"!"

"Your wise!"...

In Yang Song's words, it can be seen that his ambition is not small at all. This is to educate all living beings, and this is to stand on the commanding heights of ethics and morality in advance!

Xun Yu then reported: "The plague outside the pass has basically disappeared due to the hard work of Doctor Li, and the remaining places are under the control of lords in various places. In addition, the assassin's operation has stopped, so the powerful and powerful people in these territories are grateful, which is also the reason why the Guihua City was quickly established."

Yang Song also knew about this. Three months ago, after the rectification of the city wall of Shanhaiguan was completed, the idle construction engineering team agreed to the construction of Guihua City under the joint application of Xun Yu and Li Jie.

Until now, only the part of the construction mentioned by Xun Yu has been completed. The remaining part will continue to be built after the Weihua City is well operational.

It is worth mentioning that none of the residents of Guihua City are ordinary people, all of them are intelligence personnel, army defending the city, and trained businessmen.

In the future, the Xia Kingdom will basically not add new personnel to this city. According to Yang Song and his plan, this place is equivalent to a neutral city under the control of the Xia Kingdom. As long as the order in the city is adhered to, the Xia Kingdom will not care about whoever comes and what identity they have.

If we use the games that Yang Song had played before, this is the main city of the players, and the personnel who are entering Xia Kingdom are NPCs, who are only responsible for the maintenance of the most basic functional buildings and cities.

"Okay, the order of Guihua City is the top priority. If there is not enough manpower, you can hire natives to help!" Yang Song made a line for Xun Yu and also opened a hole.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Xun Yu bowed and took the order, and then said: "A caravan has now entered Guihua City, and the stockpiling of goods has been in place. I just wait for the day of opening to arrive."

Yang Song nodded, turned to Changsun Sheng, and asked, "Ji Sheng, how are you preparing for the mission?"

"Your Majesty! I have prepared and can go out of seclusion at any time!" Changsun Sheng replied respectfully.

Changsun Sheng is the director of the Executive Department, the director of the Bureau of Rites, and the main person in charge of diplomacy.

Since the caravan was trapped, Xia Kingdom has never conducted diplomatic activities again. This time, this mission was the first time in several years!

The mission of Changsun Sheng on this time was a bit heavy. In addition to establishing normal diplomatic relations with the outside world, his other task was to advertise for the newly built naturalized city.

If we don’t conduct a good publicity, who knows that there will be a mall in that unknown place and who will come here to conduct transactions?

"Okay, let's go immediately after the New Year holiday!" Yang Song was still very humane and did not let his subordinates go on a business trip during the New Year. Anyway, as long as he was ready, it would be fine to delay such a dozen or twenty days.

"Thank you, Master!" Changsun Sheng bent down and bowed deeply to Yang Song.

Xun Yu then reported some other achievements, such as minerals, grain, animal husbandry and other outputs, such as roads and road station construction mileage; the management of officials; the public security situation in their own country, etc.

After Xun Yu finished reporting, Li Jing also stood up, bowed to Yang Song and the ministers present, and sat down to report.

"First of all, the reorganization and replenishment of the army has been completed. In the Navy, General Li Bao is commanded by a fleet composed of three escort warships and two transport and supply sea ships." Li Jing was the first to report on the situation of the Navy.

"The second is an infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade stationed in Shanhaiguan. Each brigade has 3,500 soldiers, led by General Di Qingdi and General Huo Qubing and Huo." This refers to the garrison stationed in the northern gateway of Xia Kingdom.

During this reorganization of the entire army, Yang Song's Imperial Guard and Jinyiwei formed a large number of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, so the heavy battalion of the infantry brigade has become a slightly changed conventional battalion, and the overall combat effectiveness has declined.

Moreover, the original conventional infantry brigade became no longer "regular" because of the lack of productivity in Xia State and could not be formed on a large scale. Even for various reasons, the most elite army in Xia State is still the infantry brigade led by Di Qing and Lu Su!

The Cavalry Brigade is the latest army formed. It was led by Major General Huo Qubing and Colonel Liu Qi acted as a staff officer. The brigade's 3,500 people were all cavalry. Even the brigade's 200 people, no soldier was an infantryman.

The Cavalry Brigade consists of three cavalry battalions, each cavalry battalion has two light cavalry formations and one heavy cavalry formation, each with three hundred and five horses. In other words, except for the brigade headquarters, the Cavalry Brigade has 1,050 heavy cavalry and 2,100 light cavalry.

The Cavalry Brigade is an army of complete offensive nature. Unlike the infantry Brigade, all kinds of troops are complete, and they can attack and retreat and defend. Therefore, the intention of sending the Cavalry Brigade to Shanhaiguan is self-evident!

"The conscript brigade stationed at Tianqian Pass is the conscript brigade. In addition to recruiting one brigade of conscripts this year, it will be ready to retire and recruit a battalion every year. If there are soldiers with excellent performance, they can also replace other troops." Next, Li Jing's arrangements for the conscript brigade were fully in line with Yang Song's wishes.

With the existence of the conscript brigade, soldiers in the infantry brigade or cavalry brigade cannot relax in the future, because they may be retired or transferred to local guard forces if they are accidentally killed, so this is also a benign competitive mechanism.

With this competition mechanism, the army is not a stagnant pool, but a vibrant and endless river.

"The Guard Bureau also has a city garrison brigade, which is now organized, with a total of 3,500 people, led by Director Zhang Wei and Zhang, and there are three city garrisons. They are now distributed in various counties and towns." Li Jing signaled to Zhang Wei beside him, and Zhang Wei nodded and bowed.

Because of the special nature of the city guards, they face criminals, not enemy troops, so they do not need very powerful weapons, only generally applicable weapons, special restraining equipment, etc. Therefore, the organization of the troops is very flexible.

If Li Jing did not report to a heavy-armed battalion's imperial guards and a heavy-armed battalion's Jinyiwei, then the total force of Xia's country has reached 16,400!
Chapter completed!
