The materials needed for tens of thousands of people to eat, drink and Lazar is not a small amount, coupled with the growing population, although there are still materials in Huaiguo, they are no longer enough to last next year's bumper grain harvest.

Zijue drew the logistics card this time, and even took it out and used it.

[Using the logistics card, you get 10,000 troops for seven months of supplies and grass.] 】

Seven months, although it does not reach the full value of one year, is not bad. These seven months of grain and grass materials, plus hunting and fishing, and buying with Xu or trading with other tribes in Huaiyi, can almost last until next year's grain harvest.

What's more, he also has three whiteboard prop cards in his hand, which can also be exchanged for grain and grass.

Zijue took out a part of the grain and grass and put it in the warehouse, and in the next less than a year, he will seize the time to train the army, cultivate fertile land, and repair the city.

To re-establish the country in the land of Huainan, everything must be started from scratch. Fortunately, Zijue now has a lot of talents under him, who can help him share a lot of things.

The military aspect Zijue was handed over to Yi to deal with, as a soldier summoned with a reinforcement order, Yi's loyalty to him was as high as 90 and would hardly betray. Also familiar with the battle formation, it is not too appropriate to command the army of Huai.

Huai now has an army of more than 1,200 people, during this period of time, a large number of Yin Shang remnants came to defect, among them there are some armor, now in Huai State, the proportion of men in the prime of life is very high, there are almost no old people, the number of women and children is very small.

There is no way to do this, after all, the vast majority of those who can escape are men in their prime. Now Zijue doesn't have any good way, he can only do this for the time being, and only after he defeats the coalition of the princes of Bangzhou next year can he consider these things.

The current Huai State is not in their eyes at all, and even Xu Guo next to him is not optimistic. Zijue plans to marry other Fang States to gain support, but there are still many Fang States in Huaisi who are unwilling to submit to Bang Zhou.

If Zijue can unite these Fang countries, he will also have the capital to fight against Bang Zhou.

If he can marry the Xu State Office and gain the support of the Xu State, then the Huai State will soon be able to rise. You must know that Xu Guo's current strength can be ranked in the top three in the East, and even compete for the first place.

During this period, there were more than a dozen Fang states of Huaiyi and Dongyi who paid tribute to Xu. The state of Xu is now regarded as the leader of a princely alliance in the east.

Zijue handed over the military to Yi, handed over the construction of the city to Zhu, handed over the workshop of making pottery and weapons to Li, handed over the liaison task with other Huaiyi and Fangguo, handed over the breeding of horses and livestock to Mu, and controlled the rewards and punishments, promotion and farming, and had an overview of the overall situation.

Although this method is very rudimentary and has many flaws, it is enough to manage a small city of 10,000 people.

......

Regarding Zijue's self-reliance in the land of Huainan, the vassal states of Qi, Lu, Song, Tan, and Ju did not pay attention to it. Tan Guo was busy currying favor with Qi Guo, and Song Guo Wei Ziqi was still holding his tail, and he honestly didn't dare to exceed the etiquette in the slightest.

Qi and Lu were busy digesting the harvest of many other Fang countries, while Ju did not make any moves. Interestingly, after Dazai Dan and Taigongwang returned to Hojing, King Cheng made a marriage contract with Taigongwang's granddaughter.

Qi Guo jumped into an uncle country, and on the surface, Taigongwang seemed to overpower Dazai Dan, but in fact, it was the two of them who wanted to balance the power between the court. This is also a political signal released by Dazai Dan, showing that he has no desire for the throne.

King Cheng is young, but with Taigongwang's father-in-law here, Dazai Dan can't abolish the king and stand on his own. This is also to gag the mouths of those princes who secretly disobey. After all, since Dazai Dan became regent and acted on behalf of the king, there have always been rumors that Dazai Dan is going to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne.

Now that he has the endorsement of Taigongwang, the pressure on Dazai Dan is much less.

The states of Qi and Lu are digesting the spoils of war. The Bang Zhou army has also returned, and without the deterrence of the Bang Zhou army, only the army of the feudal princes remains, and the surrounding Fang countries are also a little ready to move.

Taigongwang did not go to Qi because he assisted King Cheng in Haojing, and Laiguo around Qi felt that without Taigongwang's presence, he could seize the land camp mound of Qi. This camp mound is the capital set by Taigongwang, how can the Qi country give in? Immediately led the army of Qi to confront Lai.

The armor of the Qi State experienced the Battle of Muye and the Second Battle of the Destruction of Shang, all of them were elite, coupled with the calm command of the generals, a big battle, the Qi State won a great victory, and the killed Laihou lost his armor and had to flee in a hurry.

The state of Qi began to establish the capital in Yingqiu.

......

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and a year has passed.

The city of Huai'an has also changed from its original humble appearance to a much better place, at least the original wooden fence has been replaced by a two-zhang high earthen wall. In the city, many houses are lined up one after another, and in the past year, the remnants of Yin Shang have been building walled houses and cultivating farmland.

In order to speed up the construction of the city, Zijue also made a lot of simple machinery, levers and pulleys have been widely used here, saving manpower and speeding up the progress of the project.

At the same time, in order to reclaim farmland, Zijue also exchanged a whiteboard prop card for a hundred ploughing cattle. This era has begun to move away from primitive coupling farming, which is usually a multi-person cooperative farming method using human labor.

Zijue saw that the Chinese people reclaimed farmland, and used very simple tools, such as plows, plows, plows are tools used for digging soil, similar to shovels, the lower end of the wooden handle is tied with a sharp shovel-like bone or stone, there are also a few bronze products, there is a section of horizontal wood at the lower end of the wooden stick, as a stepping place, this is the plow.

A semicircular sharp metal is installed at the lower end of the rake, which is the rake, which is equivalent to a plow.

The efficiency of using such a rudimentary tool to reclaim land for cultivation can be imagined. After Zijue saw it, he immediately improved these tools, which was not too simple for him.

As for ox farming, although this era has not yet appeared, there are already ox carts, and after some improvements, Zijue made a plow suitable for ox farming, and then opened the era of ox farming. The arrival of ox ploughing and the improvement of bronze farming tools directly increased the efficiency of farmland cultivation in Huaiguo by ten times. Therefore, Huaiguo only used a small amount of manpower to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

After a year of development, Huai'an is now vibrant, and at this time Huai now has an army of 1,500 men. Among them, except for the soldiers summoned by Zijue with the reinforcement order, most of the rest were soldiers who had been disbanded before the collapse of the country, and some were selected from the countrymen.

Although the army of 1,500 people is not much, it is beyond the capacity of Huai Guo, if it is not for Zi Jue who used the whiteboard prop card to exchange a lot of resources, Huai Guo would not be able to sustain it at all.

As for the chariots, the entire Huai country adds up to only a dozen. The vertical and horizontal waterways of the land of Huaisi are not suitable for chariots, but chariots are also indispensable.

After nearly a year in power, Zijue became handy in handling government affairs, and because of the limited population, the government decrees of Huai State were accessible, the countrymen and the army loved him, and the aristocratic class did not escape much because of the collapse of Yin Shang. Therefore, there were very few nobles in Huai.

In the past year, under the contact of the people, the relationship between Huai and Xu has made great progress. Huaiguo can have such a big change this year, in addition to the efforts he led the countrymen, there is also a big reason for the support of Xu Guo.

Zijue purchased a large number of tools, cloth, furs, salt, seeds and other materials from Xu Guo.

Because of the proximity of Huai'an City to Daze, although the surrounding farmland was only reclaimed in the first year, the crops are still growing well because of the abundant water sources. At the same time, Zijue taught the Chinese people to compost, and with the blessing of farmhouse fertilizer, this year's harvest is not bad.

After Zijue made friends with Xu, he also sent people to Wu in the south and Tan and Qi in the north. Let them collect information on the states of Wu, Tan, and Qi. These states are the most threatening to Huai, and Zijue does not dare to be careless.

However, the news collected made Zijue a little surprised, Wu Guo was actually only divided into a viscount country. You must know that the founding king of Wu was the two elder brothers of King Wen of Zhou's father.

Ji Li's son Ji Chang was smart and precocious, and was deeply liked by King Zhou Taiwang, who wanted to pass on the throne to Ji Chang, but according to the tradition of the Zhou royal family, he could only pass the throne to his eldest son, so King Zhou was depressed, and the eldest son Taibo and the second son Zhongyong knew what their father meant, so they fled to the south together and established the state of Wu.

Seriously speaking, Wu Guo is still kind to King Cheng, and he is also surnamed Ji. Even if you don't give a marquis, you should give a count's title, but you only gave the title of a viscount, the same as the Chu State, which was regarded as a Chu barbarian. This makes people have to think about it a lot.

The relationship between the Wu Kingdom and the Zhou royal family was not as close as Zijue imagined.

In addition to Wu, Qi and Tan have decided to send troops to attack Huai after the autumn harvest. In this year, in addition to farming, the Qi State was building the capital city and building the Qi State, and at the same time contacted several other surrounding countries.

Because the state of Qi has the right to conquer, it is now the chief of the eastern princes. Because Zijue defeated Bang Zhou by the Huai River, the first goal of Qi when he got the right to conquer was Huai. According to the idea of Qi State, it is to directly destroy this so-called Huai State.

For Huai, Qi also has some understanding, although Taigongwang is not in Qi, but the current supervision of Qi is not unfamiliar with military affairs. As early as a few months ago, he had come to explore the reality of Huaiguo, and after knowing that there were only about 10,000 people in Huaiguo, and the armor soldiers were only 1,000 and 5, he had already decided to fight a beautiful battle to destroy the country.

The state of Qi wanted to use such a brilliant victory as the fall of the Huai state as a congratulatory gift for his position as the head of the princes. Therefore, we attach great importance to this crusade against Huaiguo.
