Ten days later, Su Xun was leaving.
Except for the things that were dedicated to the stars, the others have been replaced with various materials.
When they come, they bring iron utensils, snow salt, clay pots, bows and arrows, and when they leave, they bring silk cloth, linen cloth, millet, miscellaneous salt, bronze utensils, and meat.
This time, they brought back five bolts of silk cloth, ten bolts of linen cloth, and five hundred catties of millet, not including meat.
Xing thought that Su Xun wanted millet for food, because only the millet tribe knew how to grow millet.
But of course he never thought that Su Xun was the son of a farmer (*/ω\*).
In addition to these, this time also brought back seven people, and the other seven people from medium-sized tribes.
In name, they were sent to Xia Guo to learn how to make clothes, but in fact they were all undercover Xia Guo and got the task of making iron.
In exchange for learning how to make clothes, each of the seven tribes will send [-] head of cattle to Xiaguo within half a year.
After all, this is the direct transmission of technology, and nowadays unique technology is a very precious thing, and the tribes rarely pass it on to others, so five hundred cows is not too much.
Xing's frame is relatively large, so he didn't send anyone to Xia Guo, but directly asked Su Xun to go back and send people to the Xing tribe to teach clothing-making skills.
Su Xun was eager to send someone to open a clothing store here, and use it as a stronghold for the black guards.
The Star Tribe is a large tribe, and there are many people coming and going to each tribe, so it is best to collect all kinds of information.
...............
One and a half months later, Su Xun returned to Xia Country.
At this time, winter has passed, the ice and snow have melted, and spring has arrived, which is the season of recovery of all things.
"This...is this Xia Kingdom?"
After seeing Xiacheng and the endless wooden fortress around the moat, the people of the seven medium-sized tribes were all stunned, their eyes glazed over.
The main reason is that during this period of time, the tribes persuaded by the mission all migrated here, so more than [-] walled cities rose on the ground outside the city, which is particularly spectacular.
"That's right, this is the lonely country of Xia."
The corners of Su Xun's mouth rose, and his tone was calm.
The seven of them remained silent for a long time, and they all held a superior attitude towards Jian and the others along the way.
After all, they came from a medium-sized tribe, while Xia Guo was just a small tribe.
But now, they suddenly feel a little inferior. Compared with Xia Guo, their tribe is rubbish.
"Boom boom boom -- boom boom --"
"Woooooo-"
The deafening drums mixed with the deep and thick horn sounded, which lifted people's spirits.
The smile on Su Xun's face grew stronger, this horn must have been made by Bai Yu and the others at home.
"Ta Ta Ta Ta..."
Accompanied by the sound of powerful footsteps, hundreds of soldiers with iron guns and leather armor ran over, and then lined up on both sides to leave a passage in the middle.
There are many swords and guns, but under the warm spring sun, there is a cold glow, and a chilling air blows towards the face.
The people of the seven medium-sized tribes felt a little parched, and suddenly restrained, their hearts were filled with horror, and their fingers in the sackcloth were trembling slightly.
Such a powerful army is not limited to the Fire Tribe. Under the same circumstances, they can't stop them.
"clatter!"
There was a muffled sound from the gun barrel on the ground, which made the seven medium-sized tribesmen startled in unison.
Then the seven people saw three short, fair-skinned, dignified and elegant women in long white dresses coming, and behind them were several young men in iron armor holding a long knife around their waists with one hand.
Behind him was a group of people in sackcloth, all of whom were high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom.
The sound of armor colliding between the generals' dragon and tiger steps was clear and pleasant, but the hearts of the seven felt cold.
The iron armor is actually iron armor!
Damn it, Xia Wangxun must have concealed something in the Star Tribe, the production of iron is definitely not low! ! !
The seven of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Why did King Xia let them see this unabashedly?
"The courtiers welcome the king."
The three of Bai Yu walked up to Su Xun and bowed their heads slightly to salute.
"Your Majesty welcomes you!"
Generals and officials knelt down to pay respects, and then the soldiers on both sides knelt down on one knee.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
After that, crowds of people on both sides knelt on their knees, kowtowed to see each other, and shouted in unison.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
Three voices, one higher than the other.
After being in this world for so long, Su Xun felt like a king for the first time this time.
Xia Guo is more and more like a country.
"Three beloved concubines, all your dear ones, and all your subjects are free from courtesy." Su Xun laughed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then everyone got up.
Su Xun turned around, looked at the seven people who were already pale, and asked with a smile:
"Everyone, can the army of the lonely king be strong?"

Chapter 1179 Spring Plowing, Troop Expansion, Horses, Aliens
Xia Guochaohui.
Su Xungao sat at the top, and the civil and military officials below were arranged on both sides according to their rank.
"Next, spring plowing is the top priority, the most important thing, all labor must be put into spring plowing!"
"Now the country collects [-] catties of millet through various channels, and spends [-] catties of wasteland. As long as we wait until next year, we can be self-sufficient and leave enough millet as seeds for the next year."
"For up to two years, everyone in the country can eat millet and meat as a dish. Spring plowing is the key to the rise and fall of the country. Anyone who hinders spring plowing will be killed without mercy!"
Spring plowing is coming soon, and people in the Xia Kingdom don't know how to plant, so Su Xun set up the Ministry of Agriculture. He teaches the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the officials teach the people.
When the population increases in the future, the Ministry of Agriculture will expand accordingly, and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture will be dispatched to various places to direct the planting of grain every spring plowing.
"Do you still have this play?"
"Your Majesty, the mine prospecting team found two iron mines and a copper mine in the west and south of Xiacheng the day before yesterday." Minister of the Ministry of Industry reported.
The prospecting team is specialized in prospecting and belongs to the subordinate department of the Ministry of Industry, so they report to the Ministry of Industry first, and then the Ministry of Industry reports to Su Xun for instructions.
Su Xun did not expect that there are so many mines around, and the unmined primitive world is indeed a treasure.
In the past two months, the prospecting team has discovered one gold mine, two copper mines, and two iron mines.
It seems that it is time to start minting currency. After all, just bartering is too troublesome.
"Now there are five iron mines in the country. One iron mine is used to make armor, one is used to make plows and other civilian iron tools, and the other three are used to make weapons such as knives, guns and arrows." Su Xun separated the functions of the iron mines.
The Minister of the Ministry of War came out: "Your Majesty, now our Xia Kingdom has six thousand young men, and we can have more than three thousand soldiers. I suggest expanding the army to prevent the tribe from committing crimes again."
The Ministry of War does not have a minister, and it is managed by Su Xun. What the minister of the Ministry of War is now proposing is Su Xun's signal.
After all, it still takes a lot of punches to be tough.
"The order is to recruit [-] soldiers from the wild people. With [-] people as an army, plus the original [-] soldiers, divide into four armies: Suzaku, Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, and set up camps in the east, west, north, south, and ten miles away from Xiacheng. "
"Another [-] soldiers were recruited from the people, and the Yulin Army was set up with the lonely king's personal guards as the backbone, serving as the wings of the country, stationed in the city, responsible for the defense of Xiacheng, and protecting the lonely king."
The people are 100% trustworthy. As for the army organized by the wild people, it is better to station them outside the city.
Just in case, he didn't want to sleep with a beautiful woman in his arms at night, and suddenly there were shouts and killings in the city.
"As the number of soldiers increases, the military system needs to be changed. From then on, five people will be a five-member army, ten people will be a ten-year-old leader, and fifty people will be a boss."
"A village with 200 people will be set up as a head, 400 people will be set up as a military marquis, 800 people will be set up as a minister, 2000 people will be set up as a brigade captain, 4000 people will be set up as a battalion school lieutenant, and [-] people will be set up as a general in the army."
At present, the Xia Kingdom and the Habayashi Army have a total of five armies. It is reasonable to say that 2 people are needed to fill the ranks, but now none of the armies is full, and can only be expanded in the future.
This military system is based on the late Han Dynasty, because Su Xun only remembers this relatively clearly.
The records of other dynasties are incomplete, and it is easy to get confused, so they simply copy the Han military system.
The court meeting lasted for a whole morning, and the next court just happened to be lunch time.
The lunch menu is very simple, four dishes and one soup, two three-material and two meat dishes, Su Xun eats for four.
The staple food is also meat...
There is no way, if we don’t grow millet, we can only eat meat all the time. This kind of life is simply painful.
Halfway through the meal, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the person you sent out to hunt for horses last year has returned and is waiting to be summoned outside the palace."
"Hurry up and announce it." Su Xun didn't even think about eating. He sent people out years ago, and there was no news for several months. He almost forgot about it.
Not long after, three wounded young men walked in under the leadership of the guards.
"See Your Majesty."
"Mianli, what's going on with you? Where are the others?" He photographed dozens of people out.
After all, horses are related to cavalry, and he regards horses as the top priority.
Why did you come back with these three?
"Your Majesty, they are all dead. I have lived up to everyone's expectations and finally found the horse your Majesty mentioned."
"How did they die?" Su Xun was very excited when he heard that he had found the horse, but at this moment he tried not to ask.
Seeing that Su Xun didn't care about the horse first, but the cause of death of his comrade first, the three of them were deeply moved, and then they slowly came to the experience of the past four months.
After they left Xiacheng, they took Su Xun's sketch of the horse and headed north all the way, but they walked for a whole month without any news about the horse.
Everyone was a little disheartened, but they couldn't bear to live up to the king's order, so they could only continue walking north.
After walking for about half a month, it rained for a few days in the middle. One of them found a footprint when he was peeing. He felt a bit like a horseshoe in the painting. He took out the drawing and compared it, and it was very similar.
The crowd suppressed their excitement, dropped their heavy objects, and marched all the way to the north following the horse's hoof prints. After five days, they finally caught up.
But the actual situation is different from what they imagined. The horses have indeed been found, but they have their own owners.
"The group of strange-looking, blue-eyed men on horseback are slaughtering a village..."
"Blue eyes?" Su Xun interrupted him, because he thought of the blue-eyed barbarians in the north that Xing once said.
But the blue-eyed barbarians are still further north, how did they enter the south quietly.
Moreover, the barbarians actually have cavalry, and they should have ridden horses not long ago. If they had existed before, it is impossible for the star-level tribes not to follow suit.
But Su Xun didn't see any cavalry in the Star Tribe.
"Yes, it is the blue eyes. They are extremely cruel and eat human brains raw. If the rest of the comrades did not protect each other with their lives, the three of us would not be able to run back at all."
"How many of them are there?" Su Xun's eyes were slightly cold. People of foreign races dared to go deep into the south, and even dared to kill the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom. They should be shredded into pieces!
And since they were able to quietly bypass the blockade of the big tribe and go deep into the south, it proved that they probably found a new passage to the south.
If this is true, then the Star Tribe and other large tribes must be informed as soon as possible to prepare for it.
Or you can take this opportunity to fight back from this new channel and catch the barbarians by surprise.
"Back to the king, there are about a hundred of them, each with two horses, with bone spears and bows and arrows. They chased and killed the three of us all the way. The three of us escaped by hiding in the river. Those blue eyes At this time, people should be five days away from the north of Xiaguo."
"Come here! Call all the generals to discuss in the study room." Su Xun stood up and walked out while speaking.
Bai Yu looked at the three people who were in a panic: "You three are all heroes, go down and rest, and recuperate well. The order to reward you three will be issued within three days."
"Yes, the three princesses, this subordinate will retire."
The three saluted, turned and left.
