Finally, the continuous rain stopped, and after a few days, the flood disaster also receded, and everyone in Xia was relieved, the flood disaster caused by the continuous rain had too great an impact on Xia and was too great, and even Fengcheng, one of the seventy cities in Xia Kingdom, was forced to relocate all its residents, and soon after all the residents of Fengcheng left, Fengcheng was directly swallowed by the Yellow River.

The development of Xia Country was temporarily halted because of the flood disaster, and more than 100 people were injured, killed or missing because of the flood disaster, Su Yan directly designated this flood disaster as a natural disaster, you must know that even the last Xiaoice River did not have such a major loss in Xia Kingdom, which shows the seriousness of this flood disaster.

This time the natural disaster level flood disaster is just an obstacle on the way forward for the Xia country, and the Xia country will encounter more obstacles in the future, floods, droughts, diseases, only the Xia country becomes stronger, in order to have more strength to resist all kinds of obstacles.

The flood disaster has receded, and the Xia Kingdom has returned to normal production and life, but I am afraid that many plans have been delayed due to the flood disaster this year, such as the seven new cities built this year, and the new route plan of the Xia State Expeditionary Legion.

Last year's flood disaster and this year's flood disaster made Su Yan and even Xia Guo more determined the plan for the development of the south.

In the twentieth year of the Xia calendar, the expeditionary army of the Xia State conquered the most powerful snake tribe on the new route, for which the Xia State mobilized nearly 3,000 soldiers.

The snake tribe is different from the powerful human forces such as the Sun tribe camp, the fishing tribe, and the tiger tribe camp that the Xia country once conquered, and the same population is more than 10,000, but the snake tribe is a female-dominated human force.

The high priest clearly understood the gap between the snake tribe and the Xia country, if the snake tribe and the Xia country had a war, the snake tribe would definitely die a lot of people, plus the little surprise between the woman and the man, the high priest continued to hesitate before making the choice to surrender.

Because the snake tribe surrendered under the pressure of the expeditionary army of the Xia country, and because the population of the snake tribe is relatively large, the snake tribe cannot join the Xia country in the form of a clan, and the people of the snake tribe will be scattered to the cities of the Xia country as a family unit, first a three-year servant inspection period, after the inspection period, they will officially become the citizens of the Xia country.

When they arrived in the Xia Kingdom, the men of the Snake People tribe saw the status of the male citizens of the Xia Kingdom, and one by one they thought of the nostalgic direction of the Snake People Tribe, they are men after all, and they also want their women to listen to their own words honestly, rather than listening to women, and men should rise.

In the twentieth year of the Xia calendar, the expeditionary corps of the Xia Kingdom only carried out a plan to conquer the snake tribe, the population of the snake tribe was too large, in order to transport all the people of the snake tribe back to the Xia country, the transportation department mobilized more than two-thirds of all the ships in the Xia country, and finally transported everyone back when the winter was about to come.

At the same time, in this year, the monetary system of the Xia State was too large-scale, and it was no longer limited to rewarding meritorious personnel with coins, and all officials and officers of the Xia State were able to receive a certain amount of money every month according to their rank, which was barely considered their salary, and the retired officials and officers could also receive a "pension" at half of their pre-retirement ranks.

By the end of the 23rd year of the Xia calendar, the third five-year plan of the Xia State was completed, and the population of the Xia Kingdom increased from 550,000 to 880,000 in one fell swoop, and in five years, the population of the Xia Kingdom increased by more than 330,000, and the number of cities also increased by 43, making the number of cities in the Xia Kingdom increase to 113, and the number of county-level administrative units in the Xia Kingdom also increased by 13.

Due to the impact of the two floods, two-thirds of the cities built in the third five years were far from the Yellow River, most of them were built in the south of the Yellow River, and a small part were built in the north of the Yellow River.

In the third five years, all the tribes on the new route had been captured by the Xia Kingdom, and the fleet of C-type ships continued to sail eastward along the new route, and this time the goal of the merchant fleet was to find the mouth of the Yellow River, and by the way, trade with the tribes found on the way, investigate the situation of those tribes, and prepare for the future expeditionary army to march here.

On the battlefield of the Western Front, the cavalry troops continued to penetrate deep into the grasslands, from near to far, constantly attacking the nomadic tribes and alliances found, and at the same time, the size of the cavalry troops was expanding every year, and by the end of the third five years, the cavalry troops had expanded to nine towns, and the number of cavalry had exceeded 4,000.

From now on, every time the cavalry troops go deep into the grassland, they will be divided into two ways, and with the scale of the cavalry troops today, even if the troops are divided into two roads, each road can confront a nomadic tribal alliance on the grassland.

Under the continuous attack of the cavalry troops, the nomadic tribes on the steppe moved to the west and north one after another, so that there were basically no nomadic tribes in the half month of the west.

There is no threat of nomadic tribes, and the city opens up several large pastures on the grassland to graze cattle, horses and sheep, and when the prairie becomes the pasture of the Xia Kingdom, no matter how much the population of the Xia Kingdom increases, the Xia Kingdom will not lack cattle and horses and animal meat to eat.

The Xia Kingdom entered the fourth five years, because the Eastern Front battlefield temporarily disappeared, the Western Front Battlefield and the Southern (Southern Front) Battlefield became the two main battlefields of the Xia Kingdom, and the importance of the Western Front Battlefield was greater than the Southern Battlefield, Su Yan formulated a plan to send cavalry troops to sweep the prairie in the next ten years, and wipe out most of the nomadic tribes and alliances on the prairie.

In order to complete this plan, Su Yan plans to expand the cavalry force to 12,500 cavalry in the next ten years, that is, the size of an army.

The increase in the number of cavalry in the county-level administrative units is mainly to deal with the problems that may arise in the county's cities, such as slave riots/uprisings, natural disasters, enemy invasions and other important matters.

In the fourth five years, Xia Guo set up a cabinet in Zhongjing City, Su Yan's two sons Ping He'an were the first and second assistants of the cabinet, and the other ministers were all cabinet members.

The establishment of the cabinet represents that the ability to be peaceful and secure over the years has finally been recognized by Su Yan, Su Yan is almost sixty years old, and he is already a very old age in the Xia Kingdom, and few people can live so much, and Su Yan has been busy for so many years and is tired, and even gave birth to the idea of completely handing over the country to his two sons, and he will be with his wife, children, grandchildren and grandchildren every day in the future.

But Su Yan can't put everything down, Ping He'an has the ability to manage the country, but he doesn't have the ability to lead Xia Guo to continue to make great strides forward, Xia Guo still needs Su Yan to watch, especially in terms of scientific and technological development, only Su Yan's command can make Xia Guo's science and technology develop in the direction that Su Yan needs, if Xia Guo is allowed to develop himself, it is very likely to go astray.

Until the end of the twenty-eighth year of the Xia calendar, the fourth five years of the Xia Kingdom ended with it, and the population of the Xia Kingdom skyrocketed to 1.28 million, and in the fourth five years, the population of the Xia Kingdom increased by about 400,000, and the growth rate slowed down, but this is a normal thing, with the increase in the population of the Xia Kingdom, the population growth rate will continue to slow down, and it may continue to increase like when the population is small.

With the increase in population, the number of cities in the Xia Kingdom also increased, reaching as many as one hundred and sixty-three, with an average of ten new cities added each year, and the number of county-level administrative units in the Xia Kingdom also increased to nineteen.

In addition, in the twenty-fifth year of the Xia calendar, the fleet of the Ministry of Commerce finally arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, with the fastest improved version of the C-type ship speed of the Xia Kingdom, from the easternmost city of the Xia Kingdom to the mouth of the Yellow River to sail, it takes a month and a half, and it is also from that year onwards, the development direction of the Xia Kingdom will be equal to the south and the east, the sea has the salt that the Xia Kingdom needs, only the territory of the Xia Kingdom reaches the sea, and the Xia Kingdom will no longer lack salt.

With the increase in the population of Xia and the increase in cities, the county-level administrative units of Xia are also increasing, and there has been a situation before the implementation of the county and town system.

It's time to come up with a higher level of administrative units, above the county is the county, there are a total of nineteen counties in the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan will temporarily divide these nineteen counties into four counties, each county has four to five counties, an average population of more than 300,000, and the county system will be officially implemented in the fifth and fifth years of the Xia Kingdom.

Entering the fifth five years of the Xia Kingdom, the implementation of the county system is only one thing, and the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom go deeper into the prairie more frequently is the second thing, and everyone has not forgotten the ten-year plan of the grassland formulated by Wang, and the cavalry troops need to eliminate most of the nomadic tribes and alliances on the grassland in ten years, so that the prairie becomes the pasture of the Xia Kingdom.

In the thirty-first year of the Xia calendar, the anti-black alliance that had twice led the herdsman tribal alliance to attack the city was met and destroyed by the cavalry troops, and the number of people who fled was less than 100 people, the former leader of the withered grass had already died, and the new leader of the withered grass was shot by a cavalryman who was only sixteen years old, and the hatred between the Xia State and the Anti-Black Alliance ended because of the fall of the Anti-Black Alliance.

In the same year, the fourth generation of Xia Guolong's family was born, and the four generations were in the same house, but this is a relatively common thing in the Xia Kingdom, at the age of fifteen, he got married and had children, and became a grandfather in his thirties, and when he was almost fifty years old, he could live in the same house for four generations, and with the living environment of Xia Guo, most of the people who lived to be able to live to the age of fifty.

At the end of the fifth five-year period, the total population of Xia increased to 1.81 million, the number of county-level administrative units increased to five, and the tentacles of Xia touched the big river in the south of Xia State, which Su Yan named "Yangtze River".

The Yangtze River Basin is not inferior to the Yellow River Basin of the birthplace of civilization, the Yangtze River Basin lives many tribes, there are more than 10,000 farming tribes, there are also hunting tribes with a population of only one or two hundred, now they will become the goal of the Xia country, fortunately, the Xia country is advancing step by step, the climate and environment in the south are somewhat different from the north, but it is not a problem for the Xia people who have adapted to the climate in the south.

At the end of the fifth five-year period, the cavalry troops of the Xia State also completed their goal, destroying most of the nomadic tribes and alliances on the steppe, and the steppe has become the pasture of the Xia State.

……

During the eighth five-year period of the Xia Kingdom, the total population of the Xia Kingdom reached 4.35 million, and Su Yan added state-level new policy units to the county-level administrative units, with an average population of more than 1 million per prefecture.

……

In the sixty-third year of the Xia calendar, the total population of Xia exceeded 10 million.

……

In the sixty-seventh year of the Xia calendar, Su Yan was 100 years old, in this year, Su Yan officially abdicated, and the throne of the Xia King was inherited by the eldest son Long Ping, and among the more than 12 million people in the Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom alone accounted for 6 million or more.

At this time, the territory of the Xia Kingdom was about to reach the peak of the Qin Dynasty, and Su Yan waved his hand on the map that the Xia people had already explored, and assigned the territory of modern China to the Xia Kingdom, even if some areas had not yet been occupied by the Xia Kingdom.

The second son, Long An, was the king of Hua, and led three million people to the south of the Xia Kingdom (including the territory of the modern White Elephant Kingdom) to establish the Hua Kingdom.

The three million people allocated to Long'an were not to be given all at once, and the Xia Kingdom was to emigrate a total of three million people to China in the next twenty years, and at the same time, it was necessary to provide enough materials to help establish the Chinese state.

Su Yan had a total of five sons, Longping Long'an was the largest, and the other three were much younger, almost as big as Longping Longping's children, and the three of them each shared a million people, and established the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi and Zhao respectively, and their fiefs were in the modern (north and south) Korea, Yueben and the Philippines.

Like Hua, Xia will send a total of 3 million people to the three countries over the next 20 years and provide enough supplies to help build the state.

A total of 6 million people have migrated to four countries in 20 years, and the population of Xia may be more than 20 years ago, after all, the population of Xia is still growing naturally in 20 years.

This was a feudal system set by Su Yan for future generations, in which the eldest son inherited the throne and received at least 50% of the country's population, and the rest of the population was divided among other heirs, who led their people to further afield to establish a new state.

Obviously, Su Yan wants to use this feudal system to finally occupy all the land on this planet, at least before occupying all the land on the planet, the possibility of war between countries related by blood is very small because of land and population, and because of blood relations, when some countries are in trouble, other countries will lend a hand to help.

After the abdication, Su Yan finally relaxed, and left Zhongjing City with his three wives to go around, or to visit the scenery, or to visit the sons who were separated, anyway, he didn't want to be busy anymore, unless it was a very important matter, Su Yan would not interfere in the affairs of his sons.
