According to Xun Yu's report, if the Xia Kingdom wants to continue to develop, it will only expand in the population and zoning areas in terms of population, difficult and difficult areas.

Although this is a good idea, the development speed will definitely drop sharply in the future and will not be as fast as the current momentum of rapid development.

After all, plains and flat places are definitely much easier to build. If you enter the mountainous areas, the construction of a passage alone will cost people's lives.

Speaking of the passage, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a "Tiantian Avenue" in the Tianqian Mountains before, I guess the Xia Kingdom could only develop alone on a peninsula.

There will be no more occupation of Linhai Basin in the future. The indigenous people of this world will not know the existence of another civilization, nor will they have such "suffering", and they will not be immune to many wars.

However, one thing often has two sides. Just as the world has the existence of the Xia Kingdom civilization, people in this world can know that civilization has a different attitude, and it is precisely because of the existence of struggle that the civilization that has long been solidified in this world can be taken to a higher level.

...

After five days of travel, Liu Ji successfully returned to Tianqi City and rushed to the palace to meet Yang Song as soon as possible.

In the palace of Tianqi City, Yang Song met Liu Ji, who was covered in dust in his study, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Thank you for a while, thank you for your hard work." Yang Song called out to Liu Ji, who was about to salute. Seeing Liu Ji's hard work, he comforted him and went straight to the topic: "This time I asked Mr. to come back, there is something important to discuss."

"The king is so serious. I have already vowed to devote my whole life to the king and Xia Kingdom, and I will never refuse!" Liu Ji knew that Yang Song had something important to discuss with him. Since he received Yang Song's order, he knew what happened in the Tianqi City of Xia Kingdom.

"Yeah~!" Yang Song nodded at Liu Ji's words and then said, "A few days ago, Wen Ruo wrote a letter, saying that today the people of Xia Kingdom are increasing day by day, and it is possible that they cannot be resettled based on the existing land, so..."

Yang Song didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very clear, and Liu Ji certainly understood it.

"So that's it!" Liu Ji said intimately. Of course, he had considered the expansion of the territory and deduced the opportunity for Xia Kingdom to expand. Now it seems that it is time.

"Your Majesty, I think it's time for cash to expand my country's territory." Since Liu Ji had made a decision, he immediately bowed to Yang Song and made a solemn statement.

After hearing Liu Ji agree with Xun Yu's suggestion, Yang Song had actually made some decisions after several days of consideration. However, now that he heard his military advisor agree with it with his own ears, he still wanted to listen to the other party's explanation.

"Oh~? Sir, too, agree. Is there any reason?" Then Yang Song talked about his upcoming difficulties and concerns about the expansion of his territory.

After hearing Yang Song's concerns and questions, Liu Ji immediately replied: "Best King, Xia Kingdom is now strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even if foreigners can spy on one or two of their own country, it is not enough to pose a threat."

This is exactly what Yang Song has figured out these days, but he still has another doubt: "How to deal with the natives within the expanded territory?"

Yang Song has not thought of any good solutions for the disposal of the indigenous people after the expansion in the past few days. Although Xun Yu suggested that he be expelled directly, the process of expulsion was a major project.

Moreover, Yang Song still has some ideas about these natives. If there is a way to use it, it will be perfect. Of course, it will definitely not be used as a slave anymore. After all, this has been decided long ago.

Yang Song's question made Liu Ji think about it. He originally wanted to suggest expelling directly, but according to what Yang Song said just now, he must have other intentions. He doesn't believe that no one in the country has ever suggested this.

But in an instant, Liu Ji figured out Yang Song's idea. If expelling the indigenous people was a waste, then how to use it would be a problem, which made Liu Ji fall into deep thought.

Neither Yang Song nor Liu Ji, nor Xun Yu, who made the suggestion, mentioned the issue of whether he could occupy the land outside the pass.

When Yang Song saw Liu Ji who had not answered for a long time, he knew that this question was the difficulty of expanding the territory this time.

Of course, when Yang Song decided that if there was really no effective way to use the indigenous people, he would definitely not give up on expanding his territory because of this. He just spent some effort to expel the indigenous people on the occupied land.

So Yang Song interrupted Liu Ji's thoughts and said, "Mr. I just returned home today. I must be tired. I will hold a banquet to welcome you tonight. Now, Mr. Go back and rest first. Don't be so anxious about the method."

In fact, it’s not that we are not in a hurry. We should know that the Xia Kingdom’s army is now on the expedition. If we make plans earlier, we can also let the army take action as soon as possible.

But no matter how anxious it is, it is not so anxious for a day or a half. Therefore, Yang Song asked Liu Ji to go back first, and you can think about it carefully. Yang Song had high expectations for Liu Ji.

In fact, there is another problem that is not big or small when occupying the land outside the pass, that is, the problem of the vassal states.

That is the vassal of Xia State, and it is the "little brother" of Xia State. If Xia State suddenly changes its face, it will not only be unable to occupy morality, but also be unable to explain to the military and civilians in the country.

However, this problem is actually very simple to solve. Just issue a notice before occupying it, indicating that it is for the sake of the residents of the vassal states, and the Xia State decided to directly rule and "merge" the vassal states.

For domestic military and civilians, as long as they are well promoted and found a good point, they will immediately make the people in China who have always been pride in civilization agree with each other.

...

That night, in the palace and at the banquet, many important officials of the Xia Kingdom sat.

Yang Song said that it was for Liu Ji to welcome him, but in fact he wanted to take this opportunity to formulate an expansion plan with his important officials.

"Everyone, I will hold a banquet tonight. First, I will welcome Mr. Liu." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Song stood up with a glass of wine and whispered loudly: "The second is that I still decided to expand my territory so that millions of people in my country can have a place to live."

"The King and the King are wise!" Hearing Yang Song's announcement, all the ministers said that they were right. Seeing this, everyone must have already had a clue in their hearts.

This is also true. How could these important officials of Xia State not know about such an important matter? Moreover, Yang Song also believes that there is no need to keep this matter confidential, as long as it is not transmitted outside the pass.

It's just right to brainstorm and see if everyone has a good idea.

Yang Song then asked Liu Ji and Xun Yu to tell the ministers about the problem again and asked: "I believe you all know the difficulties. The area outside the pass is vast and there are many foreign barbarians. Can you have a good way to solve it?"

The expansion plan is determined, but there are many problems: the rational annexation of the vassal states, the scope of expansion, the time of expansion, and more importantly, the treatment of the indigenous peoples in the occupied land.

These questions were placed in front of everyone, which made another scene appear at the banquet: everyone regards the wine and delicacies in front of them as nothing, but instead discusses the important affairs of the country, as if they are in the court.
