When Ye Qiu's thoughts were wandering, there was a knock on the door of the maid again, and the beast meat that Ye Qiu had made in the back kitchen was ready. Two maids came to the table with two plates of beast meat made into steaks, one of them said, "Young Master, this is a steak made of giant rhinoceros beasts in the back kitchen." It was really a steak, the giant rhinoceros was a kind of second-level beast that lived in groups, the meat quality was good and it was rich in energy, it was considered a high-grade food for replenishing qi and blood, like the ingredients provided in the academy, many medium ingredients such as wild boars and the like. Ye Qiu took a look at the portions, and the two plates should weigh 10 catties, which was completely enough for Ye Qiu to eat. Ye Qiu instructed the maid: "It's okay, you go down, remember to come and call me before dinner in the evening, and don't let people disturb me before that." Ye Qiu was going to tell the story to Cai Yingying when he was eating in the evening, so that he could get Ye Qinglin's support.

The place where Ye Qiu lives now is the Ye family's mansion in Pingyang City, which is the state capital of Jizhou. Since the unification of Kyushu in the Central Plains by Great Xia, each state will set up a state capital, which is the central city of a state. Because the state capital, as the core city of a state, also gathers the top resource strength in a state, as long as it is a family worthy of the name in each state, it will buy a house in the state capital as a place to settle in the state capital. In fact, the real ancestral home of the Ye family is in Yancheng, the provincial capital of Yanbei Province, and the Ye family is also the first family in Yanbei.

Bactria is divided into nine prefectures, and under the area of each state, it is divided into provinces, provinces, prefectures, and continents. The four regional levels of provinces, provinces, prefectures, and continents are the same, but the names of each state are different, and the names of the subordinate regions of each state in different directions of the Great Xia Dynasty are different, which can be summarized simply: the Eastern Continent System, the Southern Provincial System, the Western Provincial System, the Northern Provincial System, and the Central Plains Provincial System. The three eastern states of Great Xia: Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou are divided into two continents, Yingzhou and Youzhou, and the two continents in Xuzhou are Fengzhou and Rongzhou, and Qingzhou is also divided into two continents, Xiangzhou and Jingzhou. The southern part of Bactria is dominated by Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is divided into three provinces: Lingnan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Guangling Road. The western part of Daxia is dominated by Liangzhou, and the territory of Liangzhou is divided into seven prefectures, namely: Lin'an, Baoning, Yingchang, Xingyuan, Jingzhao, Fengxiang and Jiading. The northern part of Daxia is dominated by Yongzhou and Jizhou, and the two northern prefectures are based on the provincial system, and Yongzhou is divided into four provinces: Changguang, Yulu, Anbei, and Anxi, and Jizhou is divided into four provinces: Yanbei, Kaiyang, Qinhe, and Yingchuan. The Central Plains of Bactria are Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and the territory of Jingzhou and Yuzhou is also governed by the Dao system, and the territory of Yuzhou is divided into Huaibei and Huainan by the Huai River. Jingzhou is the Central Plains and is also the state where the imperial capital of Great Xia is located, Jingzhou is divided into three Huailing Road, Hejian Road and Gyeonggi Road, of which Gyeonggi Province is the place where the imperial capital of Great Xia is located;

Bactria established the post of governor in each state, and the governor was the supreme administrator of each state, managing administrative matters within a state. In Bactria each prefecture or province, prefecture, or continent, there will be a political envoy to the governor, who will assist the governor to govern the administrative affairs of a province and region, and the chief official of the administrative secretary is called the chief of the administrative secretary.

Except for the seven prefectures in Liangzhou, most of the territory of Bactria and Kyushu is divided into 2-4 provinces or provinces. Not to mention how vast the territory of a state is, the population registered in the territory of a province alone exceeds 100 million, and many people have never crossed the boundaries of a state in their lives.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty ruled the entire Kyushu region, the entire Kyushu was too big, and the strength of Great Xia was mainly gathered around the city, and generally each city could generally cover the surrounding 50-100 kilometers of the strength range. In this way, the sphere of influence controlled by Great Xia only occupies about 30% of the entire Kyushu, but the population of the entire Kyushu gathered within the city area is more than 70%. One of the reasons for this is that there is a risk of not having the strength to survive outside the coverage of the city's power, and there are unsafe factors such as wild beasts, bandits, and robbers; on the other hand, the safety factor in the city is very high, and considering the development of the population, it is not a problem for Daxia to accommodate tens of millions of people even in an ordinary city, let alone the provincial capital and the state capital. Because the gathering of a large number of people has formed a population scale effect, it is very convenient to live in the city, as long as you basically have what you want, as long as you have money. For cultivators, although the population increases, the overall aura will decrease, but there is a gathering spirit array in the city, as long as there is money, the aura is not worse than outside, so there is no need to worry about safety. The remaining nearly 30% of the people in Kyushu are mainly composed of Jianghu sects and some remote towns and small villages.

In Great Xia, most of the Jianghu sects like to find a feng shui treasure far away from the city as the foundation of the sect, and then set up a branch or a lower sect in the city. Regarding the selection of feng shui treasure land by these sects in Kyushu, the Great Xia Dynasty thought that the land boundary was so big that it could not be managed, so it was better to sell these land boundaries to the sects in the rivers and lakes, so that they could not only earn a sum of money but also let these cultivators stay in Daxia, maybe they could also win over some, as long as they did not go to the enemy country, they would make money.

Because the territory of Great Xia is too large, the Great Xia Imperial Court allows large-scale buying and selling of land, of course, it is not just anyone who can buy and sell land, nor can any land anywhere be bought and sold. Great Xia has a complete set of rules for land sales, for example: for the sect that does not have Longmen realm monks, it cannot be bought and sold, and there is no sect that has been established in Longmen Realm for more than a hundred years and there are no less than three Dongfu realm monks in the gate to buy and sell; 。 If it is not a sect, only a top family like the Ye family with a long inheritance and the current clansmen with official positions and no lower rank can buy land on a large scale. Of course, ordinary people can buy real estate in the city, and the above transactions are mainly for large-scale transactions within a radius of more than 100 miles. Before the sale, Daxia will send a special survey team to survey the aura of these lands, renewable resources, etc., and then evaluate them, but during the survey, Daxia will collect all the resources found, but Daxia has a good thing that is, as long as you buy these lands, if you find minerals that I didn't find later, they all belong to the sect, Daxia will never be greedy for anything, and will not ask for a price afterwards.

When Great Xia asked all the forces in the rivers and lakes in Kyushu to do it in accordance with the regulations of the Great Xia Imperial Court, some sects were unwilling to pay the fee, thinking that the territory of Kyushu was so big, how could I go to a deep mountain and old forest, how could Daxia find out? Therefore, some sects privately opened sects in some feng shui treasures, but without exception, these sects were crushed and destroyed by the Great Xia army on the day of the establishment of the sect, and the high-level leaders of these sects were beheaded to show the public, and the disciples of the sect went to the border vanguard to charge into battle with the army, if they could survive, they might be able to mix an official and a half-position, if they were unwilling, they would be beheaded! After the top sects that the monks of the Dongfu Realm could not count were wiped out, the sects with a little strength on the rivers and lakes did not dare to quietly open a sect in the territory of Great Xia and Kyushu, and they all obediently spent money to eliminate the disaster.

Moreover, many sects later found that in fact, the exploration of Great Xia may also miss a lot of minerals or genius treasures, and as long as it is a renewable resource, although it is taken away by Great Xia for a few years, it will be its own, so as long as it is bought, it will definitely not lose, and maybe after a thousand years, the minerals that were not originally there have also been derived, so as long as the Great Xia Imperial Court allows it, even if all the materials are exhausted, these sects can buy as big as they can.

Of course, for some sects, the large territory is not all a good thing, Daxia will not provide any security guarantee for the sale of these lands, and the safety of these sects needs to be responsible for themselves; if this sect is destroyed by other sects, Daxia will not care and will not say to recover the land, for the Daxia court, I am just a hammer deal, no matter who you are the owner of this mountain in the future, it has nothing to do with me, as long as the follow-up sect does not do treason and collaboration with the enemy, I care who you are. Therefore, there was an era in the rivers and lakes that set off a bloody storm in order to seize territory, and the number of people in the rivers and lakes in that era was sharply reduced by fifty percent, and it was not restored to the past prosperity after a hundred years after the situation in the rivers and lakes stabilized.

Except for the people in the rivers and lakes and remote towns and villages, most of the population is concentrated in the Great Xia city or within the range that the city can cover. Because within this range, everyone needs to follow the laws of Great Xia, and the people do not have to worry about safety when they live and work in peace and contentment, but outside the coverage of the city, it can be regarded as a lawless place, and it depends on whose fists are hard to decide, so ordinary people generally do not leave the city and are likely to spend their lives in a city.

It is precisely because the safety factor outside the city is too low that the dart game in Daxia is very prosperous. Because of the decline in the quality of aura in the post-aura era, what restrictions are there in the underworld to convert this aura into energy, and it can no longer be used as the energy of some vehicles like in the flood era; for example, people who want to cross the city can't pass the teleportation formation like in the flood era, and they can't make some flying vehicles with aura converted into energy; people can only reach another city on foot through the most primitive method, because considering the safety problem, if they don't have a certain amount of strength, ordinary people will gather together in most cases, and then hire a dart master to escort them, among which caravans are the most common。

Because the decline in aura has also led to a decline in the quality of many heavenly and earthly treasure ores, such as the quality of the star stone used to make storage, it has dropped too much. Xingyao stone, also known as space stone, is an important raw material for storage equipment, because the decline of aura has led to a great reduction in storage space and weight in the post-aura era, and the storage of rings, jade pendants, bracelets, belts and other sizes that are generally easy to carry can only accommodate 50-100 pounds of weight and the space is generally about three feet of cubic space, and the price of a storage device of this size also starts at 1000 gold coins. If you want to buy a large storage capacity, there are only two ways, one is to find a higher quality storage forged from Shine Stone, and the second is to make it from a large volume of low-quality Shine Stone. Needless to say, high-quality star stone is very rare, so large-capacity storage is very rare; as for the storage made of large volume star stone, the disadvantage is that the block is large and loses the convenience of storage, but the inner space is larger than normal, and at the same time, it can also be preserved to a large extent, for example, the volume of the storage that wants to accommodate tens of thousands of catties is at least five feet (1.65 meters) of the length of the cube size, so that although the convenience of the storage is lost, it is not bad for the transportation of goods, but such a large volume of star stone is also very expensive. Therefore, the trade of goods in the entire Shenzhou Continent cannot be transported by one person with a storer, and can only be transported by caravans in the most primitive way, and it is precisely for this reason that many chambers of commerce and dart bureaus on the mainland have been created. Of course, it is not that there are no storage devices that are convenient and large, but those who can have such storage devices do not look down on the profit of reselling goods.

It is precisely because there are so many caravans that the demand for dart masters is very strong, and the dart game is very prosperous in Great Xia, and the top dart game is more than tens of thousands of people. Because after the unification of Kyushu in Great Xia, in order to facilitate the deployment of troops to suppress the strong enemies of the Quartet, it was crazy to build infrastructure in Kyushu, and the roads between the cities were built wide and large in order to make the troops run faster, which also facilitated the caravan to consign goods, and virtually promoted the subsequent commercial development of Great Xia.

The most extensive coverage of Daxia is land transportation, of course, in addition to Cao Yun is also very developed, and Cao Yun is more convenient and safe than land, but Cao Yun has a little regional limitation mainly concentrated in the central and southern cities of Daxia, and like in the north, Jizhou and Yongzhou are not connected to other states of the river, mainly by land. Land transport and Cao transport is for a larger number of transport, and Daxia also has air transport, air transport is mainly based on birds and beasts, fierce beasts and even spirit beasts, air transport is more fast and safe than land transport and Cao transport, but the transport volume is small and the cost is high, so air transport generally does not transport goods mainly as a transport of personnel. Moreover, the right to air transport was in the hands of the Great Xia court, and Great Xia mastered the method of raising a beast called rock sparrows, and raised some rock sparrows and a small number of griffins as special air transport vehicles in some cities. The rock finch is an ordinary beast with strong patience, but the flight speed is slower, and it can fly 200 kilometers in an hour, and the griffin is a fierce beast whose strength is not weaker than that of the three or four realms, and it is more explosive and has a certain attack ability, and it can fly 400 kilometers in an hour. In Great Xia, as long as the individual forces can own birds, they can also fly on their own, but they cannot enter the city, and they will be charged a corresponding fee for docking in the city.

The territory of the Great Xia Dynasty was a peaceful and prosperous scene of Guotai and Min'an, thanks to the fact that the Great Xia set up four prefectures in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the four major governors in the southeast and northwest mainly suppressed the foreign raids in the four directions of the Great Xia. Among the foreign enemies, the Western Yueshi and the Northern Xiongnu are the most powerful, from the founding of Great Xia to the present, they have been at war with them all the year round, and they have been fighting for so many years, and the border of Great Xia has only improved in the past hundred years. Relative to the saber-rattling with the north and the west, the six states of Nanzhao in the south became a vassal state of Daxia early, and paid tribute to Daxia every year. The east and the south are also about the same, because most of the east is connected to Donghu on land, and Donghu is often at war with the Xiongnu, so Donghu does not dare to offend the strong enemy of Daxia; in addition to Donghu in the east, it is an overseas archipelago, and the three largest island countries in the East China Sea, Yingzhou, Abbot, and Penglai are also vassal states of Daxia. The main duties of the Anton Governor's Office were to prevent Donghu and deter several island states in the East China Sea, and to protect the inland seas of the East China Sea from piracy.

The war of Bactria is now mainly broken out in the west of the Yueshi and the north of the Xiongnu, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu are much stronger than the south and east of the Great Xia, and the two countries have always coveted the territory of the Great Xia, but for more than 3,000 years, the Great Xia has been crushing the Yueshi and the Xiongnu to death. As the largest country in the West, Yue's economy is developed and the country's strength is strong, and the single-round economy is comparable to that of Great Xia, so Yue's has always been dissatisfied with Daxia's status as the first power in the mainland, but Yue's army has never crossed the Longquan Mountains for more than 3,000 years. Although the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north were both children of the Immortal Heaven and were brave and good at fighting, there were frequent battles between the two countries. The Xiongnu is the first power in the north, the Xiongnu have strong forces but the economy is not developed, and the war with Donghu has always involved part of the troops. The most fundamental reason for the war between the Xiongnu and Bactria was the reason for resources, because the Xiongnu and Bactria were bordered by two mountain ranges in the north, the Tianshan Mountains (in Yongzhou) and the Yinshan Mountains (in Jizhou). The Tianshan Mountains and Yinshan Mountains are rich in products, and both are competing for resources, coupled with the relatively harsh climatic conditions of the Xiongnu, so when the autumn and autumn harvest come, they often come to loot the people on the northern border of Great Xia. Although the laws of Great Xia generally only govern the sphere of influence of the city, it is resolutely intolerable to this kind of behavior of enemy countries to loot the people of Great Xia, as the largest country on the mainland. For these two reasons, the wars between Bactria and the Xiongnu were the most frequent and tragic, and the number of wars in the Yue Kingdom also decreased a lot after the strength of the Great Xia became stronger and stronger.

But if you want to say who is most likely to take the position of the number one power in Great Xia, it must be the Yue Clan. However, when Emperor Yu first unified Daxia and Kyushu, the Quartet was not satisfied, and Daxia relied on one war after another to subdue the six countries of Nanzhao and the islands in the East China Sea, and the people of Daxia believed that the Xiongnu and Yueshi would definitely be subdued next, and let the Quartet come to the court.

The goal of Great Xia is great, but for Ye Qiu, he doesn't have such great ambitions, Ye Qiu didn't think about being great to be a hero of Great Xia. Ye Qiu just wanted to live freely in this life, and there was also Hu Yanda, the general who personally slashed the Huns. Ye Qiu knew that in addition to personal efforts, only by letting the eldest grandfather and grandfather go to a higher position and letting the Ye family have more power and money could he have the opportunity to change the general trend and have the ability to kill the Hun Hand Blade Huyanda.
