The Strongest Tribe

In the dilapidated small courtyard, three figures sat separately, and the old man looked at Lin He with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Uncle Lan, Lan Lin has strong mental power. I think I have the talent for cultivating witchcraft, so I am going to take Lan Lin to the main city, and ask the Lord Qianlong Palace of the main city to test it out. There is a chance to go to Daxia Academy to practice.

Master Lin, is what you said true?

The old man trembled a little. He never left Tuoshan City in his life, and he never became a totem warrior when he was old. His son and daughter-in-law also died in the mouth of fierce beasts in the early years, leaving only the little Miaomiao Lanlin.

If it hadn't been for Daxia's promotion of Lingtian these years, he wouldn't know how to support Xiao Lanlin. Now not only is there food and drink, but Daxia has also established a martial arts academy and forced all school-age children to go to the martial arts academy to practice.

A day like this was never even imagined before.

Master Lin, you must help this kid, old man~ the old man knelt down for you.

The old man knelt down in front of Lin He with a plop. He was just an ordinary old man. He didn't have anything to offer, and he didn't know how to thank him. It seemed that only in this way could he express his gratitude.

~~ Uncle Lan, get up.

This startled Lin He, he hurriedly got up and helped the old man up.

It can't be done. Finding good seedlings is what I should do.

Speaking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Lin He's eyes, and he thought of the big characters engraved on the main peak of the academy that he saw when he entered the academy for the first time.

For a while some feelings.

If Lan Lin really has the talent for cultivating witchcraft, the future is limitless. I am just a martial artist. The Lord Palace Master has something to say. The witchcraft is the inheritor of our human civilization, and the martial arts is the guardian. I, Daxia, should set up my heart for the world. , To establish a life for the living and the people, this is what my Daxia disciples should do.

The old man didn't understand Lin He's words, but after a lifetime of ups and downs, he didn't expect to meet a good time in his later years, all of which were brought by Da Xia.

Okay, it's time for me to go back to the Martial Academy. The flying boat going to and from the city will land in our Tuoshan City in three days. I will take Lanlin to the main city. Lanlin will stay at home and accompany your grandfather well for these three days.

Master Lin, I know.

Lan Lin responded sweetly.

After instructing the grandparents and grandson, Lin He didn't stay to eat, but drifted away. He was in a good mood. A few days ago, he had a feeling that he had been promoted to the Tianmai Realm. When he returned to the academy, he could go to assess the human disciples identity of.

Not only that, he discovered Lan Lin as a good seedling, and he can also be rewarded by the academy.

...

Is this all taught by Elder Feng?

Four figures in the dark watched everything that happened in the small courtyard.

Asked by Xia Tuo, Old Man Feng laughed and said, Isn't this just following the patriarch's teachings and applying what you have learned? Naturally, you have to keep it in mind when you come out of the academy.

When did I say those things?

The old man can't remember, anyway, you said it.

This one called Lin He is not bad.

Shato nodded.

It's all taught by the patriarch. Old man Feng took the opportunity to flatter him again.

fart.

Regarding Old Man Feng's words, Xia Tuo laughed and scolded unceremoniously, but it was comfortable to listen to. It seems that Old Man Feng slipped too.

Don't worry, the patriarch, the academy has a strict task system, and the disciples who have reached a certain level of cultivation will be sent out to complete the task, or they will be taught in the martial arts academy, or a city captain, and they must stay in the position for a certain period of time. By the way, this is what the patriarch said about applying what you have learned.

Who is the lieutenant of Camel Mountain City?

Hearing this, Elder Tu, the head of the Palace of Clan Affairs, changed his mind, and then said: The captain of Tuoshan City is Hefeng, an old man in the clan, but I remember that some disciples from the academy have been assigned to Hefeng.

Then let's see if this city captain is qualified.

Xia Tuo then said aloud, for the city area, stability is the top priority, and this is also what he must pay close attention to, the region is not stable, and the people's hearts are not stable.

This is not the ancient county town of his previous life, but a city just transformed from a city where a group of casual cultivators gathered. Although Daxia has been fighting thugs, road robbers, etc. over the years, the villains can't finish it.

...

Under the night, there was a beast fire jumping in the stone house in the small courtyard in the south of the city, and a silver bell-like laughter rang out. It took a long time before it fell. Xia Tuo withdrew his eyes and disappeared under the night with the three elders.

In the darkness, there were clanging sounds in Tuoshan City, and groups of city soldiers in iron armor were patrolling the city. Each city soldier held a torch in his hand and patrolled the inside and outside of the stone road in the city.

This kind of patrol system was also established after Daxia established the city territory. The warriors in the local city were used as soldiers, and the tribesmen drawn by Daxia were used as city lieutenants.

The effect is also obvious. The city is much more stable, so that people in the city can play with villains with peace of mind at night, without worrying about any accidents that will cause them to be depressed. This can be regarded as an indirect contribution to the population increase plan of Great Xia.

After walking around Tuoshan City, Xia Tuo found that it was not bad, and he couldn't say that there was nothing wrong with it, but he would not be too picky and picky.

The last four came to the Chengwei Mansion. Now every city in Daxia has four mansions in parallel. The City Lord Mansion, Qianlong Palace, Chengwei Mansion, Tuntian Mansion, and the two-day reclamation of the large area outside Tuoshan City are under the jurisdiction of the Tuoshan Tuntian Mansion. .

In Chengwei's mansion, the stone hall was jumping with beast fire, and there were still people busy, when a figure in armor hurried over and walked into the hall.

Master Chengwei, has something important happened?

He Feng, sitting at the head of the Stone Palace, is a middle-aged warrior, whose strength is at the peak of the Mountain Opening Realm, but there is a vague blood lingering around his body. Obviously, he has experienced a lot of killings in his hands. He is wearing black armor and his chest is full. There is a red nameplate on the front.

Honglin, I heard that you went out of the city today to catch that broken left hand?

Honglin is a young man, not more than thirty years old, and his strength is at the peak of the Rock Cracking Realm.

Hearing Lieutenant Hefeng Cheng's question, Hong Lin nodded and said, Yes, but after killing three people, this guy hid in the wilderness outside the city, and he didn't find it after guarding for a whole day.

Left Hand Break is a nickname for people. A villain who appeared in Tuoshan City in the past two months killed three people in the city. In the past, no one would care about how many people were killed, but now this is the territory of Daxia , daring to kill is provoking Daxia's majesty.

My lord, I think this guy is practicing a kind of evil kung fu, which needs to be practiced with blood, so I am going to set up a game to attract the bait.

Listening to Hong Lin's words, He Feng nodded. He was a soldier of the Great Xia clan, so he was okay in terms of fighting, but not good in terms of brains.

Fortunately, Honglin returned from the academy two months ago, and he was very happy with his brains.

The speed of this guy's cultivation is really fast. Three months ago, he was still in the early stage of the Rock-Splitting Realm. This is already at the peak of the Rock-Splitting Realm. You can be sure.

Hearing this, Hong Lin stood proudly and said: Although you can practice evil skills quickly, in terms of strength, your subordinates are not afraid.

Look at the edict issued by the Chengwei Mansion in the main city.

After finishing speaking, He Feng took out an animal skin roll and handed it to Hong Lin.

After Honglin opened it, he took a closer look, and then there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he said, My lord is going to be promoted.

The city lieutenant of an inferior city is only an eighth-rank position of luck, and being promoted naturally means going to a higher-rank city.

He Feng waved his hand and said: Actually, being a city lieutenant is not what I'm good at. If I could choose, I still want to return to the battle division, but I don't have this chance.

I have already recommended you to the Nine Beast City Wei Mansion as the successor of Tuoshan City, to command the 500 soldiers in the city and protect the stability of Tuoshan City.

However, my lord, I have only been here for two months, and my strength is only at the peak of the Rock Cracking Realm. If you want to become a city captain of an inferior city, you must at least open the Mountain Realm.

It doesn't matter, you are a disciple from the academy, and you have received orthodox training from the academy, although you are still stuck at the peak of the cracking stone state, I don't think this can trap you.

But before that, you still have to try your best to take down the villain with your left hand, so that when I recommend you to succeed me, I will have a good reason, otherwise the main city captain will still treat me as if there is no one in Tuoshan City.

Having said that, He Feng looked at Hong Lin and asked, You won't forget everything you learned in the academy, right?

Hearing this, Hong Lin tightened his body, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said, How dare you forget!

Okay, I don't worry about that. Everyone in Honglin has their own opportunities. Some people's talents are indeed admirable, but this is not a reason for people to be decadent. You succeeded as a city captain and gained a great summer spirit. The blessing of luck is enough to make up for part of the talent.

I see.

Okay, let's go.

He Feng watched Hong Lin go away, and catching an evil cultivator was a test for Hong Lin, otherwise how could he become the new Tuoshan City Captain? As for the level of strength, this is not a problem.

You can temporarily act as a city lieutenant and be awarded the rank of ninth-grade luck, and become a real city lieutenant when your strength is promoted to the Kaishan state.

...

Patriarch, what about the disciples who came out of my academy?

In the dark, old man Feng said to Xia Tuo.

Nearly eight years have passed since the patriarch ordered the recruitment of the first batch of young people in the city area. Over the years, the academy has successively recruited more than 13,000 people.

Also starting three years ago, the ordinary disciples who were still stuck in the cracking stone state in the academy were successively assigned to various places in the Daxia territory to enrich the bottom.

These people's strength may still be stuck in the cracking stone state, but they have been cultivated by the academy for many years, especially the teaching of cognition, which is enough to become the backbone of the bottom.

They are different from the disciples who go out to complete the task. They will take root in the bottom of the Great Xia, and maybe they will be able to appear in various positions in the Great Xia in a few years.

Old Man Feng pondered, for the disciples who have cultivated in the Great Xia Academy for five years and are still stuck in the rock-cracking state, there is no need to say more about their talents, and the release is also a new opportunity.

Yep.

Hearing this, Xia Tuo couldn't help but nodded. This was something he valued very much. Compared with the vast territory of Great Xia, the number of people trained in the academy is still a small number, so this is a process of transformation, which will take a long time to carry out.

Now, the transformation process has already begun.

...

After staying in Tuoshan City for a day, he quietly left with the three elders, and appeared in Xiongyi City, another medium-sized city under the Nine Beast City.

Like Tuoshan City, a large area of ​​spiritual fields outside Xiongyi City has been reclaimed. This time Xia Tuo directly appeared in a stone hall in the city lord's mansion of Xiongyi City.

Under the night, the stone hall in the City Lord's Mansion was pitch-black, and the stone shelves were filled with animal skin volumes. Xia Tuo randomly pulled out a volume and opened it.

At their level, they are naturally not afraid of the dark night. Watching Xia Tuo pull out the volume to read, the Elder Feng beside him is a little nervous. The population in these territories is under the jurisdiction of her Clan Domain Hall, so I am really afraid that Xia Tuo will find something dissatisfied.

This is a volume that records the number of births in the city. In Daxia's assessment of the city lord, the number of people in the city is used as one of the indicators.

Don't look at the large number of people in the Daxia Clan, but the Daxia area is too big. Looking beyond the Daxia, there are too many barren lands and sparsely populated areas. Whether it is to increase the base of the human race so that more warriors can be born, or from In other respects, Daxia encourages childbearing.

Six hundred and seven people were born in Xiongyi City last month.

Xia Tuo saw the numbers recorded in the book, and whispered softly.

Elder Feng on the side said: Patriarch, the population of Xiongyi City has a total of 170,000 people. Although the clan has promoted the spirit field, so that the old and the weak don't have to be in danger for hunting, there are many diseases in the wilderness, especially for the newly born babies. The constitution is very weak, and it is easy to die young.

Is the mortality rate high?

Xia Tuo was taken aback. He really didn't pay much attention to this point. The purpose of Daxia's promotion of Lingtian is to prepare for the increase in population. Of course, hunting is not enough when it comes to farming. In fact, hunting is still the life of Daxia people. big portion.

Patriarch, because there are witch medicine masters and various medicinal herbs in our clan, babies are guaranteed from birth, so the premature death rate is very low.

The patriarch is actually very good. When Daxia didn't establish a city in the past, the warriors in Sanxiu City had fewer births than this.

The two elders spoke out one after another, and Xia Tuo pondered. This is a wild place, so naturally there is no family planning.

What's more, it's no fun in the barren land once it's dark. Most of the single wolves hold their weapons coldly, and those with wives make humans to play with. In fact, the birth rate is very high.

The dolls in the barren land are all pushed up by this high birth rate, and the death rate is high. With the birth rate overwhelmed, there will always be those who survive.

This won't work!

Shaking his head slightly, Xia Tuo went on to say: After going back, the Clan Domain Hall and the Clan Affairs Hall came up with a plan. Since the mortality rate is so high, let's start from here and find a way to ensure that all babies can grow up. I, Da Xia, should put people first. .”

yes.

With this incident, Xia Tuo put the animal skin roll back.

Go and take a look at Tuntian Mansion.

After arriving at Tuntian Mansion, Xia Tuo also took out the books transcribed by the subordinates of the Tuntian Order.

The ethnic groups in every city in Daxia can be regarded as families, large and small, or even clans. As for the annexation of land in the previous life, it is estimated that it will not appear in Daxia for hundreds or thousands of years. There are many places to reclaim.

In addition, with Daxia, the official giant, there are divisions of spiritual land reclaimed outside the city, each family belongs to each family.

Similarly, not every family farms. Some families have some crafts, such as hunting, blacksmithing, etc., can run the house. Xia Tuo is transforming the slave-hunting society of Daxia into a society of small farmers, half-farming and half-hunting.

Why are they all ordinary Lingmi? I saw ordinary high-grade Lingmi planted in some places outside the city, no less than thousands of acres. It's just outside the city where there is plenty of spirit energy on the river bank. Why is there no relevant record?

Xia Tuo looked through the animal skin volumes on the stone shelf in the hall one by one. In fact, there were not many volumes, but only dozens of volumes. He found that the ones listed in the volumes were all ordinary low-level Lingmitian.

I must have forgotten it.

Seeing that Xia Tuo's face was a bit ugly, old man Feng came out to smooth things over. There are thousands of acres of high-grade spiritual rice outside the city, each plant is two meters high, and the grains on it are crystal clear and full.

You must know that the establishment of the city in Daxia requires a lot of expenses. Not to mention the garrisons at every pass in the territory, just the city soldiers and warriors in every city need to be supported.

What support?

Where do spirit crystals, animal meat, and spirit rice come from? Naturally, a part of the spirit field tax is collected.

Of course, this part is not too much, one for 30 jun, and one jun for every 30 jun for Lingmi. You must know that this is a barren land, the land is fertile, and the harvest of lingmi is naturally very high, so even after paying the tax, each Small families can still leave enough Lingmi to live on.

This kind of tax is actually not an advanced concept. In many tribes in the wild land, all resources such as mineral veins discovered need to be handed over to the upper part. In fact, this is similar to taxation, but the name is different.

To Xia Tuo, the taxation of thousands of acres of high-level Lingtian is nothing, but the system is the system, which is the foundation of Daxia's foothold.

I didn't expect to avoid land annexation, but I didn't escape opportunism.

Don't blame yourself. We are just crossing the river by feeling the stones. The various systems are not perfect. If we find problems, we just need to improve them. Some bugs are nothing. Since we like Lingmi so much, we will send them to the Northern Territory to farm. gone.

Northern Territory?

The elders felt a chill in their hearts, the northern region is much more desolate than the northwestern land, where to farm, or to feed the insects, isn't this a free range.

But when the patriarch said this, it was tantamount to setting the rules.

After we go back, we will strictly investigate this matter.

Speaking of which, this is a matter of the Si Nong Dian, but to put it bluntly, the Clan Affairs Dian is in charge of the promotion and transfer of all military personnel in the territory, and has the obligation to monitor.

Although Xia Tuo was annoyed, if someone dared to dig up a grain of Xia's grain, he would not do it.

But he doesn't have any temper for Elder Si Nong Dian Shao, this elder only knows how to farm the land, and has very few crooked thoughts.

...

At noon the next day, there was a rumbling sound in the sky outside Xiongyi City, and three ten-foot-long flying boats came from the sky and landed on a high platform in the center of the city.

Then the warriors waiting under the high platform walked towards the flying boat one after another. Xia Tuo walked in with the three elders and chose a seat to sit down.

Brother Wen, maybe there is a big opportunity again, what are you going to do in the main city?

No way, the child of this family went to the martial arts academy in the main city to practice half a year ago. I heard that he has some talent for cultivating witches, which is valued by the adults of Qianlong Temple. He stayed with him. I will go and see.

Yo, what a blessing, man.

Hey, it's not that I found a few broken stones in the valley outside the city two days ago, and I'm going to send them to the Tie family godsmith's shop in the main city to see if they are some good mineral materials.

The weapons made by the Tie family's shop are pretty good.

...

Brother, you also go to the main city.

Next to Xia Tuo, a middle-aged warrior carrying an animal skin bag asked Xia Tuo very familiarly.

yes.

Xia Tuo nodded with a smile and asked, Brother, what are you doing in the main city?

I.

The middle-aged warrior shook his head and said, I won't go to the main city. The flying boat will pass by Linshan City in a day. My home is in Linshan City.

As he spoke, he tightened the animal skin bag in his hand.

Brother, you have treasure in your fur bag, right?

No, no, just some common herbs.

The middle-aged warrior shook his head violently, and continued, How could I have the ability to find precious medicinal herbs? It's all thanks to Master Xia?

Master Xia, you don't even know.

The middle-aged warrior frowned, then looked at Xia Tuo as if he was looking at a monster, and said, You didn't come from some corner of the mountain, did you, Mr. Xia is our great Patriarch of the Great Xia!

ps The number on the last sheet was wrong, it was three people, I apologize to everyone, everyone is single, what kind of wife do you want. , ha~
