Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 23: Xia Guo 4 party

   Now the three battleships of the Xia Guo Navy have become training ships.

   After the construction of the three transport ships that have started, there will be a big gap in the needs of sailors. So in order to prevent such a situation, Yang Song ordered Li Bao to train sailors and officers!

After Li Bao received the order, he immediately selected personnel in the country, especially those who were able to swim, have gone to sea, and had experience. No one was let go. As for the officers, he could only continue to train existing sailors and low-level officers. officer.

   The people recruited by the people will have to undergo a long period of training before they can be qualified for the positions of ordinary crew members, but officers are completely different, especially for important positions such as captains and captains. Without certain professional knowledge, they cannot do this!

   That's why Li Baocai only trained the original low-level officers and sailors, because he has a deep understanding of these men!

   The fleet's plan to explore northward was repeatedly interrupted, which also made Yang Song very helpless. Fortunately, Xia Guo has not found any overseas enemies, so there is no urgent need for the navy.

It is precisely because of this that the navy seems to have become a dispensable role in Xia State, with a very low sense of existence. Fortunately, Yang Song knows the importance of the navy. He is not like the ancient ruler. It's all burned!

   Moreover, the navy has also made meritorious services. The resource-rich islands overseas have figured out the sea conditions in the offshore waters and trained a group of sailors, crews, and so on.

   So no official dared to complain about the navy's large share of resources. This big is not a little bit big, but measured by Xia Guo's national strength.

   Shipbuilding workers, shipbuilding materials, the navy’s high wages, the massive supply of materials that are dispatched once... these costs are not small at all!

   The current navy really has completely deviated from its "main business" and has become a "secondary business", either as a transport ship or as a training ship!

   Even so, the sea to the east can be regarded as Xia’s back garden!

  ……

   The southern wasteland of Xia Country.

   Since the guard camp ‘hunted’ on this wasteland, it has become more deserted!

  The wild beasts are rampant and the wild grass grows wildly. If it weren't for the subtropical monsoon climate and full of rain, there would have been a prairie fire here.

   Further south, the temperature becomes hotter and the rain is more. Looking at the map, it seems that you have entered the tropics!

   Except during the war, the endless exploration has also made Xia Guo more clear about where he is.

   In addition to this vast wasteland, there are water systems in the south. On the whole, there is only one main main stream, a large river spanning north and south. To be precise, it is a large river flowing from the southeast to the northwest.

   The source of this great river comes from the rainforest farther south. This rainforest is also very mysterious when seen from the outside in time. According to the words of the cavalry, you will know at a glance, this is a place you must not enter!

   I searched the entire wasteland and found no natives who fled. It is estimated that all the remaining natives ran into this rainforest!

   After Yang Song learned the news, he just marked it on the map and stopped paying attention. These primitive natives should cause no harm to the current Xia country!

He just looked at this uninhabited wasteland, thinking about it, predicting how many cities, counties and towns will be built here, and how many people will be able to use it. After using it, probably how many fields will be opened up and how much food will be harvested. !

   Anyway, this wasteland has been included in the territory of Xia Kingdom. Although there are no people in it, the area is not known how many times larger than the one that has been developed now!

  The territory shown by the system has reached 500,000 square kilometers, but in fact, the land currently used by Xia Guo is only more than 100,000 square kilometers, which includes Tianchuanguan, the central town, and the entire passage.

   The wasteland in the south is much larger. After Yang Song's simple estimation and comparison, this wasteland has reached more than 1.5 million square kilometers!

   Counting the overseas islands and not the sea area, the total amount is more than two million square kilometers of land, which is a quarter of the previous China!

   Even if there is such a large land, it is of no use. The total population of Xia Guo can reach one hundred thousand people. It is not as large as the population of a county before!

   What a vast land and sparsely populated area, even if the land area is 500,000 square kilometers and 100,000 people, each person can divide the land of five square kilometers!

   Five square kilometers per person! If it is not five square meters, but counted as acres, one person can own 7,500 acres of land! And Xia Guo's upper limit on personal acres is not even the leader of this number!

   This all made Yang Song want to abolish the land cap regulation, but he thought in a blink of an eye that it is not enough now, and it may not be the case in the future, especially after having steam engine technology, so he still did not abolish this regulation.

  ……

   The main area of ​​Xia’s current activities is the west, which is also the northwest of the wasteland, which is the large forest.

This forest provided Xia Guo with a lot of wood. From hundreds to thousands of years, giant woods were used as shipbuilding keels and pillars for palace construction. Among them were practical woods such as oak and sandalwood, and down to wood for cooking. , Charcoal, all have the contribution of this forest!

   It is a pity that it is precisely because of the luxuriant forest, dangerous flora and fauna, and the complex terrain.

   Therefore, the exploration activities did not dare to go deep, so Yang Song did not know the world behind!

   The north is a completely mountainous area, rich in minerals, but mining and transportation are very difficult. Now only the areas on the outer side can be mined, and the long passages can also be used on both sides.

   Isn’t there a saying called “build roads if you want to get rich”! The wealth that this channel can create is not so clear in two or three sentences.

   Especially after the Tianchi Pass was built, even if it was connected to the forces outside the pass~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Xia Guo had no worries!

   Just like this time, the forces outside the customs are hostile to Xia Guo. As long as there is a pass, Xia can enter and attack, retreat and defend, and take the initiative!

   The final result ended in the complete defeat of the four small territories, which also illustrates the strategic importance of this location!

   The current Guanwai is simply a **** on earth.

Grass roots, leaves, tree bark, and white soil, as long as they can eat, all enter the stomachs of these civilians. The commoners who die of starvation do not know how many people are. The eclipse between children and children often occurs. vitality.

  Lord nobles will not care about these desperate ‘untouchables’. They only know to repair castles and manors, close the doors and enjoy them, and calm the panic after the fright, but this shadow has been like a shadow and will be with you for the rest of your life!

   These people now, like Kevin’s people who have been baptized by artillery, now even if they are an ordinary thunderstorm, they will tremble with fear, and they have exhausted their last bit of courage without getting under the table!

   The other three larger territories all accepted a part of the civilian population, but they also picked up and picked, and the remaining refugees who looked down upon were all driven out of their territories!

  , even if they want to retaliate, they have no time to spare. For Xia Guo, there is no threat outside the customs for the time being!
