In just one year, the Xia State successively defeated Goguryeo, defeated more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry led by Luo Hou, and stood in the northeast of the world, whether it was at sea or on the road, showing strong military strength, bringing strong self-confidence to the people of Xia State.

In today's Xia Kingdom, the per capita cultivated land is at least 100 mu or more, and the grassland is more than 200 mu, which means that even the poorest people have more than 200 mu of land at home, not to mention that they can also obtain higher income by working in the farm.

The large farms and ranches formed after owning vast land have greatly improved the production efficiency, so that today's Xia Kingdom only needs less than two people to feed ten people, which means that Xia Guo can take out seventy percent of the national labor force to develop other industries.

In Wang Ze's view, the ancients did not emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce because the ancients could not see the benefits brought by commerce, but because of the low productivity in the past, the population supported by an agricultural labor force was very limited, and if commerce was overdeveloped, once a natural disaster occurred, the consequences would be extremely serious.

In the late Ming Dynasty, because of the breaking of thousands of years of restrictions on the participation of merchant children in the imperial examination, the merchant forces controlled the government, and finally because of the continuous natural disasters in the north and the over-development of commerce in the south, which led to the final demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Wang Ze first came to the East China Sea, he always attached great importance to agriculture and animal husbandry, and maintained a certain degree of suppression on commerce, and most of the commercial activities were controlled by Wang Ze himself, which could not only maximize the development of agriculture, but also limit the development of commerce.

Up to now, Xia not only has a rich labor force, but also because of the progress of production technology, the successful development of large animal power seeders and harvesters, and the factors that plagued Xia country's agricultural production in the past because of labor shortage are no longer a problem.

In terms of industry and handicrafts, due to the continuous progress of industrial technology, new machines and new technologies are constantly emerging, and the production efficiency of the workshop has also been greatly improved.

After the production of more and more products, there are the east-west sea routes controlled by the Xia Kingdom, which bring rich sea trade profits to the people of the Xia Kingdom, all of which make the people of the Xia Kingdom live more and more prosperous, and the rich domestic handicraft production and large-scale factory production provide sufficient daily necessities.

Enough food and clothing to know the honor and disgrace, when the food and clothing are rich, the Chinese customs of knowledge inherited for thousands of years are more and more valued, under the guidance of the Xia State government, the people of the Xia Kingdom are becoming more and more studious, of course, the most important thing to keep learning is the children.

Although the schools in the Xia Kingdom are developed, it is impossible to reach the level of universal higher education, but under Wang Ze's insistence, the comprehensive education system established at the beginning has now been able to benefit millions of children and teenagers throughout the Xia Kingdom.

Because of Wang Ze's policy of encouraging childbirth, the teenagers, children, and babies in Xia are now increasing at an alarming rate, and the overall structure is pyramid-shaped, according to the rough statistics of Liu Xin and Yang Ku, the number of babies born in the 20th year of the Xia calendar has exceeded 500,000.

The number of school-appropriate children under the age of 12 has reached more than one million, and the number of other underage students has remained at least nearly one million.

After about six years of basic education, they will enter vocational and technical schools run by local factories, where they will eventually become well-paid skilled workers, and if they can invent any new technology, they can even quickly become newly rich.

It can be said that at this time, the Xia Kingdom has completely solved the problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the children's lives and studies are also guaranteed by the state.

However, in the face of the Turkic invasion before, many people still had the attitude of spending money to settle things, which shows that they have not yet developed the mentality of the people of a big country, even if the Xia Kingdom has become stronger I don't know how many times, but the people have not changed in their hearts.

This time, the Xia Kingdom suddenly defeated Goguryeo in one breath and defeated the Turks, so that these Xia people suddenly discovered that their country was already so awesome, and we were not only powerful in the navy, but there was no one on land who could provoke us.

After these two wars, the people of Xia unconsciously became more confident, but the maritime merchants of Nanchen, Nanyang, and Western suddenly became more polite to the Xia people after learning that Xia had defeated the Turks.

The prestige of the Turks, even in the distant Western countries and South Asian countries, they are very well understood, since the Xia State can defeat hundreds of thousands of Turkic armies, this also shows that the Xia State is basically a super power that can be ranked with the Turks.

As time passed, Xia's control over the newly occupied territories became more and more stable, and when the last Goguryeo army resisting the Xia occupation was completely wiped out by the grizzly bear forces led by He Fan and Wu Jian at the end of August, the counties set up by the Xia state in Goguryeo also began to be officially operational.

Even if some people have some contradictions in the subsequent contacts, but it has not affected the overall situation, although the country's grain production has plummeted due to the great migration of people in the summer of this year, but the steel output has exceeded 100,000 tons in one fell swoop, and the prototype of a superpower is rapidly becoming stronger at an astonishing speed.

But at this time, suddenly a bad news spread throughout the entire Xia Kingdom.

Haotian God Sect Leader Liu Qing has passed away!

Carefully calculated, Liu Qing was already a ninety-year-old man when he first met Wang Ze, and now it has been more than 20 years, almost nearly one hundred and twenty years old, and this time he passed away and died, which can be regarded as a happy mourning, so although Lu Wangzhi, Zhou Cheng, Li Jie, Chen Duan and other four apprentices were sad, they were not so sad.

However, Liu Qing's death caused a lot of movement among the people of Xia Kingdom.

As the national religion of the Xia Kingdom, Haotian Daomen is already a behemoth with six or seven million loyal believers, although his scale is still far less powerful than the Futu Sect in the Central Plains, but the belief level of the believers of Haotian Daomen is far greater than that of the Futu Sect.

Over the years, Haotian Daomen has always adhered to the norms that Wang Ze set for them at the beginning, and assumed the responsibility of healing the people's illnesses while preaching, and until now, Haotian Daomen is still an important part of the medical system of Xia Kingdom.

When he first started to preach, Liu Qing insisted on taking all his apprentices and grandchildren to heal the sick and needy people despite the fact that he was already over 90 years old.

When the news of Liu Qing's death spread, the mourning bell spread from Zhenhai as the center to the north to the Northland Islands. To the east, it even spread to the Guiyi City of Penglai Island and Fang Changzhou, and to the south, it spread all over the South Seas, and to the west to the Zhiyuan Islands and even west.

The people who were relatively close to the Zhenhai County Great Temple changed into deep clothes and came to the square in front of the Zhenhai Great Temple with black veils on their right arms, and they were deeply saddened by the loss of such a good master.

The wreaths of mourning filled the large square with a radius of hundreds of acres, and people seemed to have lost all their smiles in an instant, even if they were new immigrants who had just come to the Xia Kingdom, after learning all the deeds of Liu Qing, they also instantly solemnly followed and offered their sacrifices.

Because Liu Qing was in charge of religious affairs at the Jeju Island Grand Temple, people from many counties in the East China Sea had visited Jeju Island to worship, so after learning the news of Liu Qing's death, many people in the East China Sea came to Zhenhai by boat, and a large number of people in Yizhou and Nanyang also took sea boats to prepare to go to Zhenhae.

In the end, the Xia State Council and the Haotian Daomen Tiandao Academy had to jointly issue a statement, hoping that the congregants from all over the country would go to the local Haotian Temple to mourn Liu Qing, because Zhenhai really couldn't accommodate so many people.

After receiving this notice, county officials from all over the country went out to dissuade the local people, so that these people finally changed their minds and went to the Haotian Temple in the local county to participate in the mourning ceremony.

While the county officials breathed a sigh of relief, the Government Council was still very big, and there were nearly a million people rushing to the vicinity of Zhenhai alone, and they had to ask Wang Ze to urgently transfer 50,000 National Guards to maintain order in and around Zhenhai City.

Immediately afterwards, under the auspices of Wang Ze, Xia Guo held a grand state funeral ceremony for Liu Qing, and even Wang Ze personally carried the coffin to see him off, and then Cheng Hu and Zhu Bofu took over one after another, and other generals followed, and the whole scene was extremely touching.

Then Liu Qing's body was cremated, and the ashes were buried in an unnamed cemetery next to the Jeju Island Grand Temple, where it was Liu Qing's last wish to be buried in this place, and around Liu Qing's prosaic small tomb, dozens of teenagers and militiamen who died in the battle to protect him were buried.

When Liu Qing died, he still had a bright smile on his face, his wish had been achieved, he chose Wang Ze at a glance in order to spread the Daomen, since the Central Plains Futu Sect occupied the mainstream, then the Dao did not float on the sea' to this Daomen finally created a vast world.

Liu Qing's death made the people of the entire Xia Kingdom extremely sad, but what the Taoists of the Haotian Dao Sect were most concerned about was whether Wang Ze would elect a new head of the sect, of course, this was also the issue that the nine Heavenly Dao Masters of the Heavenly Dao Academy were most concerned about.

However, soon they gave up, and Wang Ze announced that in order to commemorate Liu Qing's outstanding contributions to the Haotian Daomen and the Xia Kingdom of the East China Sea, the Haotian God Sect would no longer set up the position of head of the sect in the future, and the name of the head of the sect would always belong to Liu Qing.

In the future, the Heavenly Daoist Academy of the Haotian God Sect will officially become the highest authority of the Haotian God Sect in the whole world, and he must accept the management of the Xia State Council, and there must be a supervision system of Taoist priests and believers at all levels within it.

Because Wang Ze had already determined this system before, and Liu Qing had stopped managing the chores in the sect for a long time, there was no major change within the Haotian Daomen, what should everyone do or what should they do, but the sorrow brought by Liu Qing's death still needs time to be washed.
