Urban: I have a new identity every week

Now they have been able to line up quickly and turn left and right, but they still need to improve in terms of walking.

They had learned to retreat when they heard the sound of the bronze clanging, because it was easy.

But there is still room for improvement in the aspect of hearing the drum, and they can't fully keep up with the rhythm of the drum.

But it's not bad to be able to do this in a month, and it's considered elite in this era.

In the palace, Su Xun was wearing a white robe and was handling official business. For convenience, he made writing paper and a brush made of wolf hair in this month.

After such a long period of literacy, the citizens of Xia Kingdom can already write basic daily characters.

Now under Su Xun's decree, Xia Guo already has the concept of month and year, which is more convenient.

30 days is January, and December is a year. This is much simpler than remembering how many times the moon is full.

As for the white robe on his body, Xie Qing and the others sewed it with the silk cloth brought back from the Star Tribe.

Two bolts of silk cloth made three long robes for Su Xun, and they made four long skirts themselves.

There is still a surplus of this, because a piece of cloth is more than 30 meters long according to modern units.

So Star Tribe is really generous, two bolts of silk cloth are a lot of wealth.

As for the three bolts of linen, they were intended to be used to reward the meritorious ministers below as a show of favor.

At this time, on the mountain road more than ten miles away from Xia City, a large group of people were carrying goods on their way.

These are people from a small nearby tribe. They have not forgotten that Su Xun once said that after four full moons, they can bring goods to the Dragon Tribe to exchange for salt.

Dragon tribe salt is cheaper than fire tribe salt and is also closer, so it's not hard to choose.

"Do you think the Dragon Tribe really has that much salt? What if it's not enough?" Someone worried.

"How is it possible, they took out so much salt last time, I think they can definitely make salt."

"I heard that people in the Dragon Tribe eat meat every day, and eat three meals a day. I don't know if it's true or not."

Everyone walked and chatted, and within half a day they arrived less than five miles outside Xiacheng.

"Stop! Who are you!"

Here, they were stopped by children holding bone guns on the sentry tower.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, Su Xun was afraid that the enemy would not know if he touched them, so he set up a sentry tower.

Children in the city are in charge of the sentry tower, and three people are in charge of one tower, all equipped with bone guns, bows and arrows.

"We are from other nearby tribes. We were invited to the Dragon Tribe to exchange salt at the last exchange meeting."

The patriarch of the mountain tribe, Yu, stepped forward and said.

This time, thirteen tribes came together, and Yu was the oldest and was elected as the representative.

They plan to cooperate with the Dragon Tribe for a long time, so they want to fix the price of salt exchange, and the fish is responsible for negotiating with the Dragon Tribe on behalf of all tribes.

"Come with me, and I will take you to the king."

One child went to Xia City to report the news first, the other child was responsible for leading the way, and the remaining one stayed on the watchtower to continue to be in charge of guarding.

"King? Isn't your patriarch Xun?"

Yu and the others thought that the clan leader of the Dragon Tribe had changed, so they couldn't help but worry that what Xun said earlier still counted?

"Xun is our king, and we are now called Xia Guo." The child who led the way said proudly.

Yu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never heard of these two words, but they could generally understand them.

Su Xun changed the name of the Dragon Tribe to Guo, and changed the title of the patriarch to King.

They didn't think it made any sense.

While they were rushing to Xia City, the child who returned to the city first had already sent back the news.

Su Xun immediately interrupted the training of the army, and sent people to stand guard on the city wall and at the city gate, and he personally led the rest to welcome the visitors.

Only by letting them see that Xia Kingdom is now at its peak, can their resistance to integration be reduced.

When Yu and the others came outside Xia City, they were all shocked when they saw the city lying on the plain.

I saw an earthen city nearly six meters high and hundreds of meters long located on the plain, surrounded by a large river several meters wide flowing around the city, and a pontoon bridge was built at the gate of the city.

Around the city are reclaimed wasteland and fences that are used to keep wild animals. Pedestrians come and go at the city gate with smiles on their faces.

Soldiers holding bone guns stood on the top of the city wall, and soldiers stood on the left and right sides of the city gate. At first glance, they looked like the elite of the elite, just like the bone guns in their hands, tall and sharp.

"This...is this Xia Kingdom?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. They thought that Xia Guo was the Dragon Tribe and they just changed their name.

But now it seems that Xia Guo and Dragon Tribe are not the same concept at all, they are hasty.

They have been to the Fire Tribe and the Star Tribe, but none of them were as shocking as Xia Guo brought them.

Seeing the city and the soldiers at the top of the city made them involuntarily feel awe.

"Come with me."

The child who led the way looked at the shock on everyone's faces, filled with pride in his heart, and walked in front of the dozen or so patriarchs with his chest upright, without showing any timidity.

Yu and the others subconsciously followed behind him, and when they reached the pontoon bridge, they saw Su Xun walking out.

Su Xun was dressed in a white robe, with an air of nobility. Behind him was Jian with a bronze sword on his waist and hips, and behind him were dozens of soldiers in leather armor, with bone spears everywhere.

Yu and the others stopped subconsciously, and stood there blankly, looking at Su Xun who was leading the troops, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann."

The child leading the way knelt down on the ground with a frenzied face, and Yu and the others also knelt down in a daze.

"Why are the patriarchs here? How can the lonely king afford such a great gift? Please, please, quickly."

Su Xun's face was full of astonishment, and he stepped forward quickly, leaned over slightly and made a gesture of support.

Only then did Yu and the others come to their senses, their faces turning blue and white, embarrassing, and they got up one after another.

"Gu Wang has already understood why you are here, and I will not disappoint you. I have already sent people to prepare the food and drinks. You all come to the city with Gu, and we will talk while eating."

Su Xun enthusiastically invited everyone into the city.

"Thank you... King Xia." Yu and the others were still a little awkward about this title, because it was the first time they heard of it.

Then, under the leadership of Su Xun, Yu and the others entered Xia City, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Their house is actually like this. There are no gaps, so there must be no wind or rain leakage."

"It's incredible how it was built. How did the enemy get in?"

"King Xia is wearing silk, I heard that only the nobles in the big tribes have this kind of thing."

The citizens of Xia Kingdom looked at these distant visitors with the eyes of bumpkins, full of pride in their hearts, and the chatterers also raised their voices, showing off their lives to these outsiders intentionally or unintentionally.

"Thanks to King Xia, we have the life we ​​have now. We can eat three meals a day without hunting."

"That's right, there is Princess Qing to see a doctor for everyone, and she will never die because of a stomachache."

"Thanks to King Xia leading us to build the city and build the earth house..."

Yu and other patriarchs were deeply hit, and couldn't help feeling that they were inferior to Su Xun.

The same patriarch, why is there such a big difference?

Chapter 1162 Conquering the surrounding small tribes

When they came to King Xia's mansion, Yu and other tribal leaders were shocked again.

Although this yard is small for Su Xun, it is simply too extravagant for these bumpkins.

In particular, soldiers wearing half-length leather armor and holding bronze spears stood guard outside the palace.

"This... is King Xia living alone?"

The patriarch of the Water Tribe asked stammeringly.

"Where does the lonely king live in such a big house?" Su Xun smiled and shook his head.

Everyone was slightly relieved. Fortunately, it was not as exaggerated as they imagined.

Su Xun added another sentence: "There are three lonely concubines, that is, lonely women."

Everyone: "..."

Is there a difference between one person and four people?

If their tribe had such a large courtyard, it would be enough to accommodate 200 people. In Xia Kingdom, only the King Xia and Princess Xia lived there.

This is too extravagant, too exaggerated, the wooden building of the head of the Star Tribe is not as big as this!

"Are they bronze spears? I saw it in the Star Tribe. How did King Xia get it?"

The hill tribe chief fish points to a soldier.

"Four months ago, I went to the Star Tribe to meet Xing, and we had a very happy conversation. Before leaving, Xing gave it to me." Su Xun said in words that he and Xing have a good relationship.

Pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner, anyway, they don't know the truth, and it is impossible to ask Xing for verification.

Yu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They knew that Xia Kingdom would surely rise, at least to replace the Fire Tribe.

"King Xia, four months for reconciliation?" Yu asked.

Su Xun replied: "Gu Wang divides 30 days into one month. Every time the moon is full, it is the middle of the month, that is, the fifteenth day of the month. December is a year. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are three months each. It is so convenient." It's easy to remember."

Everyone was thoughtful when they heard the words.

"Everyone come alone."

Su Xun led everyone into the palace. The main hall of the palace is very large and can accommodate dozens of people. It was specially built for discussion.

At this time, the table had already been set up in the meeting room. On the table, there were fruit wine in clay pots, wild fruits in pottery plates, and wine glasses made of burnt paper in pottery pots. Every piece of utensils looked exquisite.

It is exquisite for this era.

Yu and the others were stunned again, they didn't expect that Xia Guo could produce so many pottery.

"Everyone, please take a seat, eat some fruit to fill your stomach first, and the food will be served soon."

"King Xia, I see why this pottery is different from ours?" The chief of the Crow Tribe found something wrong, that is, these pottery are better.

The others also observed after hearing the words, and then looked at Su Xun above at the same time.

Su Xun laughed: "To tell you the truth, this pottery was made by our country Xia. If you like it, you can exchange it this time."

boom!

Everyone's brains exploded in an instant.

They were all guessing that Xia Guo had mastered the art of making salt, but they didn't expect to be able to make pottery.

Many of them were familiar with the former Stone Tribe and Tree Tribe, and they were no different from their tribes.

But ever since these two tribes merged, earth-shaking changes have taken place in all aspects.

And all of this was brought about by Xun. How could there be such an almighty person in the world?

Soon, the grilled meat and meat stewed in earthenware pots were served, which made everyone hooked.

"Everyone, what about my country of Xia?"

Su Xun raised his glass to ask.

"King Xia, the Xia Kingdom is strong and prosperous, and it will definitely become a tribe in the future." Said the chief of the Water Tribe.

Su Xun laughed, and asked again: "What do you guys think of the lonely king?"

"King Xia is young, but he is very talented and knowledgeable. He is unparalleled in power and power, not inferior to the capital of a god." Yu said.

Su Xun looked around for a week, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "How about you lead the tribe to join our Xia Kingdom? Join Xia Kingdom, and now you will have the opportunity to enjoy everything you see."

The meeting hall fell into silence for an instant.

No one expected that Su Xun would suddenly open his mouth to annex them. Yes, this is an annexation in their eyes, just another way of saying it.

For a moment they didn't know how to answer, if they refused, would King Xia let them go back?
