Yang Song thought about it, but when he turned around, he realized that Xun Yu and others' words were like a blow to him. It turned out that before he knew it, he was no longer the naive "teenager" he used to be. He kept asking himself repeatedly about whether his "original intention" was still there.

Now the Xia Kingdom is not the time to come to this world. Even if it was a small matter, you must be very cautious. You are walking on thin ice for this world, for fear that you will die without a place to bury if you don’t pay attention.

But now, looking back at the beginning, I realized that both him and the people around me had changed!

Perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is the world itself and the pace of progress of Chinese civilization!

"Huh~!" Yang Song took a deep breath, then exhaled for a long time, as if he wanted to spit out something in his heart.

"Wenruo, Bowen, if you have any suggestions, please tell me bluntly!"

Yang Song decided to calm down and listen carefully to the voices of his subordinates.

"Yes, the king!" Xun Yu and Liu Ji all bent down at Yang Song from the bottom of their hearts when they saw Yang Song who looked like this.

"King, what's happening today is nothing more than domestic and foreign countries." Liu Ji said first: "For the country, please let me talk about it abroad."

Liu Ji said as he nodded slightly to Xun Yu on the side and signaled, while Xun Yu raised his hand to Liu Ji, which was considered to be a response.

Yang Song nodded and said, "Tell me." He had been ready for listening for a long time.

"Yes, king." Liu Ji bowed to Yang Song again, looked at the officials present with his body sideways. He didn't know what he thought of, but was organizing language.

When Liu Ji faced Yang Song again, he slowly said: "King, my colleagues. Outside the Xia Kingdom, the land north of Pingguan City is vast and vast. The information from all parties in the bureau estimated that it is at least 30 million square kilometers."

"On it, the lords of all sizes and the horoscopes of the country are like fireflies in the night, small but many." Liu Ji's narration of foreign countries is from big to small, and from the whole to the part.

"The closest to our country are the six monarchies, one big and five small, and the five small countries are vassals of their country. Due to their own plans, they have joined forces to attack the big. Now they have fought one after another, and many parties have suffered heavy casualties to achieve the expected goal."

What Liu Ji said was the matter after Xia State completely withdrew its troops. It is no longer the period when Fulimete's country took the initiative to attack. Because of Xia State's attitude, Parker no longer dared to take the initiative to attack. He could only defend against the attacks of the five countries.

However, the five vassal states of Xia State are now relying on the support of Xia State, and they are not worried about any force to invade their "territory". Because they want to go to the Fulimet State to die, the five countries will launch attacks on the Fulimet State from time to time, hoping to completely eliminate their "mortal enemies".

Although the Fulimete Kingdom did not dare to attack, it was a piece of cake to defend several uncoordinated small countries. The monarchs of the five countries were not discouraged and launched a series of attacks on the Fulimete Kingdom, as if their lives were not their lives. Perhaps the Xia Kingdom had given them enough "instructions".

"There are still 13 large and small forces north of the six countries and south of the river. There are also seven leaders close to the west. There are countless changes in power in the farther land. There is only one major country in the extreme west, which is called "Elmer" and is also called "Ai Country", covering an area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers."

When Yang Song heard this, he glanced at the system map and found that there was really a large force two thousand kilometers west of Pingguan City, but because the distance was too far, he could not get in the Xia Kingdom at all.

"The north of the river is the 'central place' in the hearts of the people of Beiyi, and it is the cultural center of Beiyi. It has more than a dozen large and small territories, which have been passed down for a long time and are prosperous in trade. However, therefore, there has been no change in recent years, and I am also helpless in the war between the north and the south."

People in this world originally lived well in accordance with their "convention", but suddenly a "unruly" Xia Kingdom came, which completely disrupted their order. Now only this so-called "center" still stubbornly maintains that fragile "order".

"Further north is the northern region. This place is a bitter and cold place. The people are fierce and have been attacking since the war started. It is normal for the city to change its owners." Liu Ji said this, as if he thought that there was a nominal land in the Xia Kingdom in this area.

"King, in name, there is a vassal and a city of my country on the ice and snow islands overseas in the northern region. However, the distance is too far away. My country is really out of reach, so I can only let it go." Hearing this, Xun Yu next to him nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Ji's statement.

Of course, Yang Song remembered that place, which was the farthest place that the Xia Kingdom fleet had gone to. Originally, his plan was to use the exploration fleet to open the sea trade route, but he knew that the shipbuilding technology in this world was too backward, and there was no conditions for long-distance voyages at all, and there was no basic facilities.

This made the "maritime road" he was preparing to realize in this world ended in failure. After that, the ships of Xia Kingdom never made long voyages again because it was really unnecessary. It was not realistic to rely solely on the people of Xia Kingdom to take the initiative to go out to sea to do business.

In fact, it is not that the people of Xia Kingdom cannot go out to do business, but that the goods in this world are useless to Xia Kingdom. The people of Xia Kingdom will not get any benefits after going out to sea, so of course no one is willing to do it.

...

After seeing Liu Ji talk about the foreign affairs, Xun Yu continued to say: "King, everyone, the urgent matters in China are still the recruitment of refugees and the labor service of natives."

In fact, the matters in Xia State were already clearly explained in the dynasties of all sizes, so Xun Yu only talked about the urgent issues that need to be solved now: "I think that refugees should stop recruiting and indigenous labor should be gradually abandoned."

Yang Song didn't say anything. He knew that Xun Yu should have something to say, and he couldn't make a decision based on the other party's conclusions.

"According to the calculations of the minister, even if the refugees are no longer recruited, the country's population will reach 30 million at the latest twenty years before the Apocalypse, which is enough to complete the plan of that year." Sure enough, Xun Yu talked about his reason.

"And the role that indigenous labor service, after the steam engines are now spread throughout the country, is really limited, and the labor service costs are quite expensive to support tens of thousands of labor service. I hope the king will make it clear."

As for the other impacts of these two issues, it has been explained very clearly. Now is the time for Yang Song to make the decision!

After Xun Yu finished speaking, the Political Consultative Hall suddenly became quiet, but Yang Song did not answer immediately, but began to ponder.

I don’t know how long it took, Yang Song raised his head and asked to everyone in the hall: “Do you think so too?”

"The King and the Holy Ming!"

Without further ado, this sentence has shown their attitude. Even if some people are unwilling to do so because of their respective interests, they have to agree under such a general trend.

"Okay!" Yang Song finally made a decision when he saw this: "It's actually true, so let's stop the recruitment of refugees first. The population growth depends entirely on the base of the current population, as for indigenous labor..."

Yang Song was very decisive about the decision to stop recruiting refugees, but he was still a little hesitant about giving up the use of indigenous labor. After all, a war was launched for this and a destruction of an indigenous country. He felt that he was a little detrimental.
