Since Xia Kingdom entered the steam era, steam engines have been widely used in various factories, which has led to a leapfrog improvement in Xia Kingdom's productivity.

Although steam engines were only used by state-owned enterprises at the beginning, after seeing the advanced productivity of steam engines, the people naturally started to use them.

Because when Xia Guo first entered the steam era, there were serious lack of intellectuals at all levels in the country, many folk merchants wanted to use steam engines but could not find anyone to operate them.

However, this situation has improved completely in recent years, and the reason for this is still the result of Xia Guo’s strong investment in education.

In the past ten years, it was a period of time when education investment was gradually feedback, and every year a group of graduates entered society from schools.

Their academic qualifications are different. A very small number of them are college graduates who have received competition from the whole society. A small number of high school graduates are also extremely important talents. A part of middle school graduates serve as the backbone of society in recent years.

The rest are all primary school graduates and beginners. This is a stage of three or six years of compulsory education. Any children who grew up in Xia Kingdom have received this stage of education.

As the population of Xia State gradually increases, the demand for talents is increasing. Fortunately, with the increase in population, more and more people are educated.

Because Xia Guo or Yang Song attaches great importance to education development, teachers have become a popular profession among the people. Many students choose to go to normal schools when they go to higher education institutions.

Especially in the past four or five years, with the peaceful development of Xia State and the sufficient resources have led to more and more people receiving secondary and higher education. Otherwise, there would be insufficient teachers in so many secondary and higher education institutions in Xia State.

It is precisely because the foundation of Xia State has been laid that Yang Song decided to suspend foreign expansion and instead develop the country with peace of mind. Of course, this is related to the fact that Xia State now has enough land to be used.

When the northern territory of Xia Kingdom arrived at the Border River, there were only a few countries north of the Border River today. It was no longer the era of the city-state lords many years ago. If you want to continue to expand, the cost is also a very important issue.

Another thing is that Yang Song will balance the domestic belligerent ideas in the future. After all, one tension and one relaxation are the way for civil and military officials.

In short, it is because of the combination of various factors that the current Daxia Empire has suspended its expansion to the outside world.

But what is certain is that there is a time limit for the suspension of expansion. When the Xia Kingdom develops to a bottleneck, it is inevitable to use foreign troops.

Foreign war is the best way to divert domestic conflicts. Now Yang Song can occupy all this continent at any cost, but what about it?

After several years, the Xia Kingdom will eventually fall apart due to the conflicts accumulated by itself, and war will continue, resulting in a disaster in the lives of life - this is not what Yang Song is willing to see.

Instead of the war within the Chinese civilization, Yang Song believes that it is better to develop step by step and expand, and to retain part of the indigenous civilization to increase the internal cohesion of the entire Chinese civilization.

On December 12, 2018, in Chengyuan Palace in the Imperial Palace in the Central Xia Kingdom, Yang Song rushed here after handling the important matters at hand.

"Juan, Lan, how are you?" As soon as Yang Song stepped into the hall gate, he saw two women saying something to Yang Xian.

"See Your Majesty." After seeing Yang Song's arrival, everyone in the hall bowed together.

"Your Majesty, Xin'er is giving birth inside. Xian'er is so old that he is not at all stable. He wanted to break in just now." Lan turned around and saw Yang Song coming in, and pointed at Yang Xian who was standing in front of the door and wandering around, with an anxious face.

At this time, Yang Song also learned about the situation. After breathing a sigh of relief, he saw Yang Xian who looked like this and smiled understandingly, saying, "I have felt this kind of mood in the first place as a father."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you going to be grandma soon? Is this what I do? I don't feel like this yet." Although Juan is nearly fifty years old like Lan, her childlike innocence seems to have not completely disappeared.

"Hahaha~!" Hearing this, Yang Song couldn't help laughing. The tension in the hall suddenly disappeared after Juan's words. Even the gentle Lan covered her mouth and chuckled.

After laughing, Yang Song looked around the people in the hall. After seeing Zhang Xin, the parents of the Crown Princess Zhang Xin, nodded friendly. In the other party's fear, Yang Song looked away and said to Yang Xian.

"Yang Xian, Zhang Xin has suffered the pain of childbirth for you and Daxia. After that, you must treat others kindly. I will now face you with my in-laws. If I find that you are abandoning the whole world and are fond of the old and old, then you, the prince, will not have the need to continue."

"Abide by the will of the father!" Yang Xian looked at the painful cry from Zhang Xin in the room, and after saluting Yang Song solemnly, he saluted Zhang Xin's parents: "Father, Queen, Father, Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, please rest assured. My son is wholeheartedly devoted to Xin'er, this kind of thing will not happen."

After hearing this, Yang Song nodded with satisfaction. He did not doubt Yang Xian’s words, because he knew that Yang Xian, the prince of the Great Xia Empire, ignored the "precious garden" and turned to Zhang Xin, the "roadside daisy".

The love history of the prince Yang Xian is regarded as a beautiful story among the people, saying that he is a person with a dedicated relationship and is as wise and kind as his name is when he treats the people.

Everyone in the hall of Chengyuan Hall couldn't help but worry about the painful roars coming from the inner room, especially Zhang Xin's parents were in a corner, murmured constantly, as if praying for something.

"Wow~" A baby's cry suddenly broke through the door wall and fell into the ears of everyone in the hall, which made everyone's hearts fall.

Then the door was opened by a maid. Yang Xian rushed in without saying a word, regardless of the maid's obstruction. The rest of the people who had originally wanted to enter were stopped by Yang Song: "Let's wait a moment."

Not long after, Yang Xian walked out of the door carefully with a wrapped baby in his arms. The kindness he looked down at, the carefulness he was walking, and the happiness he looked up had already interpreted everything Yang Xian had at this time.

"Father, look, it's a boy." Yang Xian walked to Yang Song, like a child who had obtained a new toy, but from his expression and movement, it can be seen that the owner of his entire world was his hands.

Yang Song looked down at the wrinkled baby, raised his head and saw the two girls who had surrounded him and the two in-laws who wanted to come but were a little afraid of him. He asked Yang Xian: "Have you ever thought of a name?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian raised his head and looked at Yang Song and said solemnly: "I'll ask my father to give me a name!"

Yang Song stared at Yang Xian's eyes for a while, and seeing that his attitude was so firm, he nodded gently and said, "It's actually like this. I gave it to Xia, the Xia of Daxia. I hope this son can shoulder the heavy responsibility of my Daxia in the future!"
