On the throne, Yao Xuan looked at the vast territory of the Xi Kingdom on the map in front of him, and listened to Yao Yun's introduction to the Xi Kingdom today, and his heart was extremely shocked!
The territory of the Xi Kingdom has increased countless times compared to the past. Expanding the territory is not a big deal. The difficulty lies in managing it well!
Ten years ago, there was only one decent city in Xi Kingdom, and that was Xidu City.
But today, in the main land of Xi Kingdom, Mo County, Shanyuan County, plus Xinye City and Kainan City that have been opened in recent years, there are hundreds of cities, large and small.
More than ten of them are as good as the capital of a country, with dense population, developed industry, agriculture and commerce, and prosperity everywhere, full of vitality;
Ten years ago, the population of Xi State was less than 100,000.
Nowadays, the Xi Kingdom has been either annexed or recruited. It has a total population of nearly four million, most of which are free people who can or will be able to pay taxes. Even slaves are all owned by the state and work for the country to redeem themselves. The labor force is unprecedentedly abundant.
;
Ten years ago, the country of Xi was poor, and the food produced in the fields was not enough for the people. If it were not for the salt wells to support the finances of the country, even the poor people in the country would not be able to survive;
Today's Xi State is the granary of the Xia Dynasty. The Xi State is ripe and the southern wilderness is sufficient. As long as the people in the country are hardworking and willing to endure hardships, they will not starve to death. The land and important industries in the country are all state-owned. Merchants from all over the world gather. The commerce is developed and the finance is developed.
Abundant, the wealth of Xi country is known all over the world...
...
As he listened, Yao Xuan became more and more frightened. He was once the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, had ascended to the position of emperor, and had single-handedly founded a country. Naturally, he was no stranger to the ways of governing a country.
From the description of his son Yao Yun, a highly centralized Xi State was clearly displayed in front of him.
That's right, a highly centralized vassal state!
Today, the Xia Dynasty implements the enfeoffment system. The emperor enfeoffs the princes, and the princes enfeoff ministers. The famous families have armies, population, and land. They are like countries within the country. Among the many princely countries in the Celestial Dynasty, the king's line can only be considered a little stronger.
Most of the time, nobles cannot really make the decision.
But the current Xi State is completely in the hands of his son Yao Yun. The army, finance, land, talents, and all the country's lifeblood are tied to Yun'er alone!
Yao Yun's will is the will of millions of people in Xi Kingdom!
This unprecedented cohesion is exactly what Yao Xuan once dreamed of. Back then, he tried to go out of this way and also carried out land restructuring, but in the end he was unable to go on.
But he never expected that his son would do what he wanted to do but failed to do!
Integrate all the aristocratic forces in the country and completely centralize power, so that millions of people can think in one place and work hard in one place!
Yao Xuan finally understood why Xiguo was able to rise so quickly. He was pleased that his son had grown up and accomplished what he wanted to do but failed to do. However, on the other hand, his son Yao Yun was too good to be better than him.
Some things can't hang on.
Back then, my father was like a mountain, tall and omnipotent.
But suddenly one day, the child grew up, was taller and more capable than him, and seemed to no longer need him in all aspects. He felt an inexplicable sense of loss and was at a loss as to what to do.
Feeling happy and sad coexist, it’s very complicated!
Especially in the next few days, when Yao Yun took Yao Xuan on a tour of the Xi Kingdom, appreciating the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Xi Kingdom, seeing the fertile fields, and witnessing the satisfied and happy smiles of the people, Yao Xuan felt even more lost.
This prosperous age is as he wished, but unfortunately, it was not by his own hands.
By the Chishui River, Yao Yun and Yao Xuan, father and son, walked side by side and strolled along the river.
Most of the crops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been harvested. Looking around, the rice piles are like forests, and there is no end at a glance. "You can tell autumn by peeking at a leaf." You can imagine how spectacular the scene will be during the harvest!
"At that time, I remember that this place was still a wasteland and tidal flat. Yun'er, the rice yield here has reached six stones per mu, and it was harvested twice a year?"
"Um."
"Not bad~ Not bad."
"Haha~"
Yao Yun smiled. In fact, with the improvement of the fertilizer [Dangkang Golden Soil] and intensive plowing, the yield of conventional rice has reached seven or eight stones per mu, and if it is hybrid rice, the yield can be as high as thirteen stones per mu.
Of course, Yao Yun didn't say too much. Having lived in two lifetimes, he also understood the complex emotions of an old father who was both happy and disappointed. Especially his father, Yao Xuan, was a proud man.
The father and son chatted and chatted, and Yao Yun appeared quite humble and cautious after discovering his father Yao Xuan's depressed mood, and asked Yao Xuan some questions from time to time.
Just as Yao Yun thought, when he asked his father Yao Xuan to teach him, Yao Xuan seemed very excited and couldn't wait to teach him everything he knew. He was afraid that if it was too late, he would not have the chance in the future.
In this process, Yao Yun also benefited a lot. His father, Yao Xuan, had experienced many ups and downs in his life, and his vision and experience were unparalleled by ordinary people. Yao Yun often suddenly became enlightened with just a few words.
The father and son had a great conversation by the Chishui River. At that moment, it seemed like they were back in the past. The father kept talking and the boy nodded obediently, and they were very harmonious.
As they talked, the two of them soon started talking about governing the country and bringing peace to the world, to practicing Qi refining.
"Yun'er, since you have practiced the "Dragon Master's Heavenly Court" and are quite capable, there is no need to practice the "Bird Official Holy Book". I will give it to you later and you can keep it for Heng'er to practice." Yao Xuan thought about it.
Thinking, sighing:
"You are favored by the sacred objects of heaven, and you have no shortage of magical powers. My father has nothing to teach you!"
Yao Yun was stunned. The holy object of heaven mentioned by his father was naturally the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Book has the power to promote the times and has countless inheritance of heavenly law. But the problem is that the heavenly book is a piece of iron rooster. How can the inheritance of magical powers be so easy to obtain!
Oh, heavenly book!
Yao Yun shook his head: "Father, actually I..."
Yao Yungang wanted to ask Yao Xuan for his magical powers, but at this moment, Yao Xuan spoke on his own.
"As a father, I have nothing to teach you, but I can pass on the inheritance of the Changcheng God. The Changcheng God was born from the nine virtues of heaven. He controls the energy of the nine virtues and has extraordinary magical powers."
The inheritance of the Changcheng God? Yao Yun naturally picked up the inheritance of a great god for free. Although the Changcheng God is not famous, but he can thrive in heaven, then his magical powers must be quite extraordinary.
"Father, is it appropriate to teach it to me, the Changcheng God..."
"It doesn't matter, your grandfather is a close friend of Changcheng God. He has consulted Changcheng God before, and he is happy to teach you the "Qi of Nine Virtues". You have the merits of heaven and earth, so you should be more suitable for cultivation than being a father.
This magical power!"
"The Spirit of Nine Virtues"
After hearing about this magical power, Yao Yun's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason. Deep in his heart, Qingdi Mu De's body awakened on its own, shining brightly, as if he had been inspired by something.
