(Sorry sorry for the delay, thank you for your support!) )

In the thirty-second year of the Xia calendar, the steam locomotive and the steam sea ship were successfully developed, which set off a huge repercussion within the Xia Kingdom, and even Wang Ze did not expect that these two new things would have such a great influence, and a large number of people from all over the Xia Kingdom poured into Zhenhai almost every day.

Not to mention that many people in the north come to visit the relatively close proximity to the mainland, and even the well-informed East China Sea Islands and the islands of the South Sea, there are also a large number of people who come to see the strangeness.

In addition, some people from the distant Western territories also came, but these people basically made a special trip to Zhenhai Haotian Temple to worship, and then heard about this matter and came to take a look, but this daily statistics have surprised Wang Ze.

These people who have worked hard to come to Zhenhai just to see the legendary miraculous vehicle that can travel thousands of miles in a day and night, it would be even better if they could buy a ticket to sit on it, this is the first vehicle that His Majesty the King took the lead in riding.

In addition, a large number of people go to Zhenhai Port every day to see the steamships that have just been launched in Zhenhai Shipyard, which is also a very new thing like steam locomotives, and can also attract the attention of a large number of people in Xia.

However, steam ships are much easier to see than steam locomotives, after all, there are so many shipyards in Xia Kingdom, under the premise of perfecting steam engines, through the efforts of shipyards in various parts of Xia Kingdom, a large number of steam ships will soon be launched, which also makes the people of Xia Kingdom really feel the power of large industrial production.

From Wang Yong's killing of officials in Changguang County and entering the cottage, it has been thirty-five or six years since the Xia State has developed, if Qingzhou is restructured as a symbol of the establishment of power in the Xia State, then the Xia State has been established for thirty-two years, even since Wang Ze established the capital Zhenhai, it has been more than twenty years.

After so many years of development, most of the people who occupy the main body of the Xia Kingdom are basically from the basic education system of the Xia Kingdom, so they attach great importance to the steam locomotives and steam ships that have just appeared.

Steam locomotives are just that, after all, for this thing, a road paved with railroad tracks has to be built, and even caves have to be dug in some places, and steam ships that do not need railways have attracted the attention of almost all Xia maritime merchants.

The steam ship can sail when it is launched, and in addition to that, it needs to go back to the shipyard for maintenance every one to two months, but then the ship does not have to worry about the monsoon affecting the ship too much when sailing, and the horse can sail against the wind.

Within a month of the successful trial of the first steam ship, Zhenhai Shipyard received an order for two years of production, and the resulting huge profits stimulated the enthusiasm of other shipyards for the research and development of steam-powered ships.

In this way, the movement of steam locomotives and steamships in Xia gradually calmed down from spring and March to the early autumn of this year, July and August, and with the launch of one steam ship after another, the development of Xia's maritime trade became more and more prosperous.

Before all the movements caused by steam locomotives and steam ships subsided, another major event once again set off a storm in the government and opposition of the Xia Kingdom, which also made every Xia Country people itch in their hearts.

That is, the great King His Majesty is about to divide the princes again.

The idea of dividing the princes was actually conceived by Wang Ze for a long time, after all, it has been ten years since the last time the first batch of princes were divided.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sui Empire and the Turks attacked the Xia State one after another, Wang Ze would have wanted to divide a part of it again, and after dealing a heavy blow to the Turks and eliminating the hidden dangers in the native land and the South and Western Oceans, the Sui Empire wisely chose to be a shrinking turtle.

After the battle of Rinan County, Wang Ze was very nervous for a period of time at first, ready to issue a national mobilization order at any time, in order to resist the invasion of the Sui Empire's army in the future, but he didn't want the Sui Empire to lose tens of thousands of soldiers in Rinan County, and after losing the entire Rinan County and most of Jiuzhen County, he actually did not continue to attack the Xia Kingdom.

At first, Wang Ze thought that this was Yang Jian using a trick to paralyze himself, but after waiting for more than half a year, Wang Ze finally learned from the internal work of the Great Sui Empire that Yang Jian was still preparing to attack the Xia Kingdom, but he didn't know why he suddenly gave up again.

In any case, the threat of the Sui Empire was finally temporarily canceled, and since this was the case, Wang Ze was relieved, and then his eyes were set on the domestic army reform.

'The emperor will have no seeds, and the strong will be the strongest!' ’

Any emperor or a later government or other authority must hold on to the barrel of the gun, and military power is the necessary factor for the maintenance of the country, although there are other factors that are indispensable, but the violent factor is always the most important.

Therefore, over the years, Wang Ze's control over the army has never been relaxed, sometimes he will take turns to summon the army generals to the capital, and sometimes he will take turns to mobilize, plus after Wang Ze popularized education and opened up the wisdom of the people, the Xia State has lost the factor of rebellion.

The fact that Xia Guo has been able to have such a strong national strength more than 30 years since its founding is inseparable from the efforts of the ministers and generals in the country.

Among the emperors of China, only a few of them, including Liu Xiu, did not kill the heroes, and the vast majority of the others liked to cook rabbits and dogs, and killed all the heroes who paid a lot for themselves, so as to pave the way for the descendants to take power.

But Wang Ze didn't want to do this, he didn't need to do it, after more than a thousand years of experience than others, he had too many ways to get the best of both worlds, and the division was only one of the ways, because the division of the princes was only for military generals, and Wang Ze was still thinking about the future of civil officials.

In order to give these bloody old generals a good future, and in order to increase the chances of new generals on the throne, Wang Ze and Wang Yong after careful consideration, announced that this time more than 20 vassal states will be divided.

After the news spread, the entire Xia Kingdom was shocked!

According to Wang Ze's original idea, he was even ready to seal out all the generals who were over forty years old in the entire Xia Kingdom, so that at least forty or fifty Hou States and Bo States would be divided, but this idea was stopped by the old man Wang Yong at the first time.

Joke! Although generals over the age of 40 have begun to decline in martial arts, neither the level of operational command nor the various combat experiences can be compared with those of new officers joining the army, and once all these generals leave the army, then the combat capability of the Xia army will be reduced by at least 30 percent.

Don't look at the fact that the Xia army seems to be invincible at present, it seems that the main credit is gunpowder weapons and various advanced combat weapons, but Wang Yong understands that the soul of the army is not weapons, but the people who use weapons.

After Wang Yong's narration, Wang Ze finally understood that sometimes he still didn't think enough about it, just thinking about giving these generals a future, but ignoring that the Xia State must still ensure strong combat effectiveness, so as not to lose in the battle with the Sui army and the Turks.

Think about the great purge of Soviet Russia in later generations, almost all the experienced old generals were purged, and the new commanders did a good job of political work one by one.

Forget it, when the head of state turned around, it seemed that the extremely powerful Soviet Russia was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and finally had to pull out a large number of commanders who were originally going to be executed again, which gradually reversed the decline.

Thinking of this, Wang Ze is really grateful to his father for reminding him that there is an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure, it is good.

So after consulting with his father Wang Yong for a few days, he decided to divide half of the generals into princes.

Because of the particularity of the first batch of ten princes, the feudal states of the second batch of princes will definitely not be able to catch up with the fiefdom area of the first batch of ten princes.

As for those generals who didn't catch up with the division this time, it's not that they are not qualified, but the Xia Kingdom can't do without them now, so it will be at least a few years later, but as compensation, the third batch of princes who will be divided in the future will receive more preferential treatment.

It stands to reason that the generals who are divided into princes must be ecstatic when they hear that they are going to become the lord of a country, but Wang Ze didn't expect that there are really people who don't want to be princes, especially Luo Huan and Chu Honghang.

At first, Wang Ze was very strange, thinking that such two generals with superb martial arts were unwilling to leave, and he also specially summoned the two to talk, who knew that these two guys were set out in three or two sentences, and they were actually reluctant to let Xia Guo comfort place.

Although both of them are strong generals in martial arts, they are not particularly good at commanding operations, and now it is better to follow Wang Zeming, if they let them run it themselves, I am afraid that it will go bankrupt in a few years, so it is better to stay in Xia Kingdom and live a good life.

Wang Ze was embarrassed in his heart, and at the same time, he finally understood that some people might be happy to be divided into princes and go to overseas wilderness tens of thousands of miles away to create their own foundation, but some people were unwilling to do so, after all, people are different.

Today's Xia Kingdom has been built with flowers, even in the Central Plains, which has always been known as rich, the life of the local Haoqiang clan may not be able to catch up with the living conditions of the ordinary people in Xia Country today, so not everyone is willing to leave Xia Kingdom.

After learning of this situation, Wang Ze began to investigate the generals of the Xia Kingdom again, to see how many people were willing to stay, how many people were willing to go to the country, yes or no, and there were not too many other hidden meanings in it.

Soon, the entire Xia Kingdom fell into a state similar to fanaticism, and with the issuance of Wang Ze's feudal order, the merchants of the Xia Kingdom, who had always been astute, seemed to see objects that could be invested again.

As early as the Warring States Period of nearly a thousand years, Lü Buwei's father told him that the richest time was a certain country, although it was impossible for these merchants to seek the power of the vassal states, but it was also very advantageous to sponsor some generals who could become princes early, and then establish their own branch families in this vassal state.
