The month of the month of the month of the year 387.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the seventh year of Hongyuan, and four years have passed in a flash.

A lot of things have happened in the past four years, the most noteworthy is the assassination of the king of Bashu, the civil strife in Bashu, the great elder of Suli broke through the shackles and became a half-step legend, the old lord of Cangyue Kingdom passed away, the new king succeeded to the throne, the original suzerain of the Rakshasa sect Luo Hu became the protector of Cangyue State, and the million-strong army of Qin went south and so on.

In the past four years, except for the war on the Jiaozhi Peninsula, Xia has been sullen and rich, and nothing special has happened, only the country has an extra princess and four children.

Zhang Qiao, the Minister of Finance of the Xia Kingdom, has recently been radiant and in good health.

In the past four years, Xia Guo has not only paid off his debts but also has a surplus, Zhang Qiao is no longer browning and cold-faced every day, but Scrooge's hat has not been taken off, and he is still so picky.

Zhang Xian lived a very chic life, in addition to accompanying his children and princesses, he was cultivating, and he disappeared from time to time.

Li Wenhui's resignation was rejected but Zhang Xian told him that unless he found a successor who satisfied him, he would not talk about it, which made Li Wenhui's idea of retiring and enjoying family happiness never come true.

It is so difficult for such a large vassal state prime minister to find a successor who is better than him in such a short period of time.

This is also to blame him, who let you do so well, in the shortest time, to govern a devastated Xia Kingdom so prosperously, and catch up with the profound Qin Empire, who can take over.

The government affairs of the Xia State did not completely follow Zhang Xian's expectations, Li Wenhui acted according to the actual situation, and achieved remarkable results, which also made Zhang Xian, the lord of the country, admire and excel.

Li Wenhui changed the original county governance to state governance, which seems to have changed one word, but in fact it has changed a lot, this state is much larger than the original county, and the Xia State has turned the existing hundreds of counties into 50 prefectures through unified planning, which is actually equivalent to the current province.

No prefecture has 30 to 50 counties according to different regions, and 10 counties are one prefecture.

After such a division, the management is much more meticulous.

It's good to build roads, because of road repairs, Li Wenhui and Zhang Qiao slapped the table and stared, and even scolded their mothers, and finally Zhang Xian came forward to support Li Wenhui to get financial support, which is not easy, but now I can see the effect, Zhang Qiao also admires Li Wenhui for his foresight, basically Li Wenhui has a approval, he passed the process, and he is no longer so picky.

In fact, Zhang Qiao is not so really picky, as long as your money is spent on the right way, he will not hesitate to allocate it to you.

Let's just say one point, that is, the subsidy to the farmer, which is a business with money backwards, and there is a haunt, but he did not hesitate to allocate the money to the Government Council.

Chen Gongwei and Liu Yong of the Military Department and Wang Yan of the General Staff Headquarters have been busy and a little haggard in the past four years, and they have lost a lot of weight, but they are in good spirits.

The reform of the Xia army was also full of twists and turns, and the consensus was finally adjusted by the twelve guards originally positioned by Zhang Xian, or the original ten corps plus the northern and southern armies and local county soldiers, to: ten marine corps, one million people.

A rapid mobile corps of 100,000 horses, that is, Liao Weikai's pure cavalry corps, a sailor corps, is Zhang Yu's 100,000 sailors, and a special operations corps: the Black Flag Army, the number of which is kept secret.

The internal affairs guard, that is, the 100,000 people of the Southern Army, was composed of governors in the early Yuan Dynasty, mainly to protect the palace and important officials and their dependents.

There were 100,000 guards in Beijing, and the governor of Song guarded Beijing.

The local county soldiers are all organized into the regular army, but they are not subordinate to the 10 continental war regiments, and the governor of the state is controlled, and they belong to the local troops from the military department, with 10,000 horses and 30,000 soldiers in each state, that is, similar to the militia, and the main responsibility is to provide disaster relief and banditry to maintain local security, etc., and the 50 states are also 500,000 regular local troops, 1.5 million cantonment soldiers, and 500,000 regular troops are the financial support of the state capital and county.

But there are times of war.

The rest of the department hasn't changed much.

The Xia system was basically formed.

While the Xia State was developing steadily, there was a trend of turmoil outside, because the million-strong army of the Qin State moved south, which brought a threat to the alliance states of the former Xia State when they resisted Qin.

The current situation is not the same as it was then, the Suli State has a prosperous posture in comparison, but the Bashu State has civil strife, although the Wuwei State has developed compared with before, but because of territorial disputes, there have been several wars with the Zongye State, the Baling State basically exists in name only, and the Sushan State completely belongs to the Suli State.

Li Guo is still the same, if it weren't for Li Hui going back to sit in town, I'm afraid it would be annexed by Suli State.

Under the command of Liao Weikai, the former Eastern Li Kingdom has opened up thousands of miles to the extreme north, but there is also a crisis.

After Zhang Xian got the news, he went to Yushan and went north.

Although the Qin army was overwhelmed by millions, Zhang Xian was not worried, because the Qin State also knew that this early spring season was not the best time to start a war, and they were still a little afraid of the Xia State, and there was no excuse to provoke a war.

That is, the time is not ripe.

And Zhang Xian went north, because the few people he didn't want to see appeared the most, which had brought a fatal crisis to Liao Weikai......
