When the army set out, not only the military department was busy, but even other departments were very busy.

The Field Department of the Intelligence Department had already launched a foreign intelligence network as early as when it decided to send troops to ensure that the army could know itself and its enemy.

The same is true for Xuan Zhengyuan. He had long been promoted to the people of Xia State. After the news of foreign countries refusing to surrender, the people were even more angry and were very dissatisfied with the barbarians' ungratefulness. This expedition was considered to have won public opinion.

The most important administrative department of Xia State, let alone, is not without the credit of the Executive Department, whether it is foreign negotiations or internal stability maintenance, let alone all military operations are actually supported by the national strength of Xia State. The Executive Department is an important department to ensure the growth of national strength.

The military expenses of the Military Department come from Xia State taxation, which is responsible for collecting taxes from all walks of life in Xia State into the national treasury. The development of various industries is the contribution of the Administrative Department.

It is precisely because the various departments of the Xia Kingdom perform their duties that the current powerful and prosperous Xia Kingdom can be achieved, and Yang Song can perform his skills without any scruples and take Xia Kingdom to a new level like he is now.

------------

On the second day after the army set out, Yang Song was handling official duties and learned that Xun Yu, the director of the Administration Department, asked for a meeting.

"See the king, I have something to report." After Xun Yu saw Yang Song, he saluted and told him his purpose.

"No, Wenruo, what's wrong with you?" Yang Song put down the pen in his hand and looked at Xun Yu and said, "Tell me straight."

"Yes, the king." Xun Yu bowed again and stood up to report: "For our country, I suggest building the railway outside the pass until the end of the vassal state."

When Yang Song heard Xun Yu's words, he frowned and asked in confusion: "I don't know what Wen Ruo said? What's the point of building the railway outside the pass?"

"When the king, the railways in this country have been crisscrossing the north and south, like a place. Even if a million troops are stationed in Shanhaiguan, there is no need for civilians to bear their logistics." Xun Yu replied: "If the army goes to war with railway assistance, there is no need for 100,000 militias to follow."

Why didn’t Yang Song know what Xun Yu said? If the army went on a war this time, there would be no need to recruit 100,000 militias, and there would be no chance for the army to take action. The land outside the pass would be the direct land of the Xia Kingdom.

However, the Xia State implemented a close-up to the country to prevent more information from being transmitted to the outside world. How could such an important thing as railways and trains be revealed to the outside world?

You should know that it is a "county system" that is somewhat "outdated" for Xia Kingdom and is known by people outside, and it will trigger a series of wars, not to mention the rest of the more important information. It is estimated that by then that people in this world will be more simple than the current "small fights".

"Wen Ruo, this matter has been decided long ago. Do you try not to reveal too much information about Xia Guo? Why is it now..." After hearing this, Yang Song became even more confused. He was really puzzled. Why did Xun Yu suddenly suggest him to change the status quo.

However, since Xun Yu made this suggestion at this time, he must have his considerations. After all, he is not unaware of what the decision made by Xia Guo is for.

Xun Yu bowed his hand and did not answer Yang Song's question immediately, but asked: "I dare to ask if the king has the idea of ​​ruling after conquering a foreign country?"

When Yang Song heard about Xun Yu's question, he finally knew the reason why Xun Yu came to see him today. He was planning for what happened after the victory. Moreover, he vaguely realized that Xun Yu's intention today was not only so.

"With Wen Ruo's intention, what do I have any ideas? So what do I have no ideas?" Yang Song did not answer Xun Yu's question, but continued to ask the other party, that he, as a king, still needs to take the initiative in speaking.

"If the king has no intention to rule the large tract of land outside the pass, after he sent troops to win this time, he can use a large number of vassal states to provide convenience for his own development." Xun Yu answered the question of Yang Song's unintentional land outside the pass in a simple sentence.

"If the king is interested, then the country's strategy of closing the country should be changed." Xun Yu said this, and after looking at Yang Song, he continued to say with Yang Song nodding and signing to continue.

"There are no natural dangers outside Shanhaiguan to build a pass. If you want to rule, railways and other things will definitely enter the eyes of the barbarians. It is useless to hide it. It is better to take advantage of this to open the national borders and let the barbarians experience the power of the Xia Kingdom. The best way is to defeat the troops without fighting."

Yang Song did not immediately give a conclusion about Xun Yu's words, but stood up, thought while slowly walking out the door, looking at the scenery of the back garden, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps for the Executive Department, opening up the Xia Kingdom may have greater benefits, but some things do not only look at the immediate interests.

Moreover, Yang Song thought further. If he relaxed the national borders, including the thoughts of the people in the country, and the joints of indigenous forces, he would no longer be under Yang Song's control. By then, no one would have expected the world to develop to a point.

"This matter is too important, wait until the army triumphs before discussing." Until the end, Yang Song did not make a decision. As he said, this matter was too important. He would wait until Liu Ji and others come back to discuss. Anyway, Xia's focus is now on going to war, and it is not a short time.

"Yes, the king, I obey the order." Seeing this, Xun Yu knew that he would not get any results now, so he said goodbye and left.

Xun Yu left, but Yang Song's heart was in chaos because of this.

Before the army set out, Yang Songcai and Liu Ji and others agreed to make decisions in Xia's country that the country should focus on development and training as the auxiliary foreign countries. Now Xun Yu suddenly suggested that it was necessary to change the status quo, which made Yang Song think further.

Even if the Xia Kingdom will develop according to its strategy in the future, what about the future? Can Xia Kingdom really never communicate with the outside world?

Even if the indigenous people in this world are two similar races, the indigenous people in the Xia Kingdom cannot sweep the world immediately and kill all the indigenous people in this world.

Even if a soldier maintains a state of war, with the expansion of Xia's land, as Xun Yu said, the information of Xia's country will not be hidden sooner or later, at least something as conspicuous as railways and trains cannot be hidden. What should Xia's country do then?

By then, information from Xia Kingdom will hit the world, and no one knows the entire impact it will cause.

However, Yang Song could roughly guess what he could do about the impact: he would definitely pay attention to technology, wars would be more frequent, and he would not know how many people would be called kings and emperors...

"Oh~ Maybe it's time?" Yang Song sighed heavily, thinking about the distant future, and couldn't help feeling a little unconfident.
