The second week after the battle between Zhou and Xia, Shang received the news.
"It's easy to fight.
It's best for both sides to fight to death."
Di Xin said after reading Fei Zhong's report in the Star-Zhailing Tower.
Then he smiled at Fei Zhong and said "Fei Qing, you still have the foresight.
Now, the feud between the Zhou and Xia families has been concluded.
Our goal has been achieved.
Whoever wants to do evil to our business side in the future will have to weigh the other side. " "Your Majesty is overly complimentary.
Your Majesty can now free up his hands to plan the conquest of the barbarians in the southeast.
Once I have a great deal to pacify the barbarians in the southeast, the real subjugation of the Xia and Zhou countries will be a matter of course."
Di Xin paused and said, "Well, we should prepare now, but last time we had bad relations with the Xia State, the country suffered a lot of losses.
New policies were implemented on the trade routes, and the tax revenue was greatly reduced.
This is a war that has no money and is not easy to fight.
Ah.
And the princes and uncles are quite resistant to the new trade policy, I think."
Fei Zhong said quickly: "Your Majesty wants to give up the New Deal."
Di Xin shook his head and said: "I don't want to give up completely.
I want to make a compromise.
From non-commercial vassals not being allowed to trade through trade routes to those who are enemies of our merchants not being allowed to trade via trade routes.
Fei Qing, what do you think?
how."
Fei Zhong thought for a moment and said: "This is a plan for interests.
At this time, when I, a big businessman, are in urgent need of money and food, I can only do this."
Just as Di Xin wanted Fei Zhong to step aside, he thought of something again and said, "The line of Chong Houhu must be maintained.
Our watermelon cannot throw away the sesame seeds even after picking them up.
Don't let Zhou Fang poach him away."
Fei Zhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that it is impossible for Chongguo and Zhouguo to coexist geographically, and Chonghou Hu is definitely not someone who is willing to surrender."
In the autumn of 1057 BC, this year was another great harvest season in the Xia Kingdom.
However, Hua is a bit indifferent to receiving three hundred thousand stone of food for nothing.
The granaries in the warehouse were filled with corn.
In less than a year, the kings of twenty-five small and large kingdoms in the Heluo area all surrendered to Xia Kingdom's military power.
Only a few countries resisted when China sent officials and troops to them, but they were quickly suppressed.
To this end, Hua generated 20 officials through the system.
The area around Heluo and Rushui became the actual royal territory of Xia Kingdom.
Because of the achievement of this goal, Hua received a task reward of 2,000 points.
Xia's trade on the trade routes re-opened, and the scale was larger than before, gaining more people every month.
Hua temporarily changed his strategy.
In the past, the population was admitted with an equal ratio of men and women and a small number of children.
Now, the majority of the population is young and strong men.
In addition to purchasing slaves from the market, another way for the Xia Kingdom to absorb the population was to accommodate escaped slaves.
No matter where or what country they came from, slaves who fled to Xia Fang Diwang could immediately obtain civilian status and be allocated public land for farming.
In less than a year, Huayi has grown by nearly 10,000 young people.
Some were selected and recruited as Huben.
Just to prevent spies, the escaped slave population was not placed in the basin behind Huayi, but was placed in the newly established city.
In one year, Xia State established five new cities in the west of Luoshui.

A new city was established in the Rushui River Valley.
Five hundred households were immigrated to each city, and all the land in the new cities was privately owned, fulfilling the military merits of the soldiers as promised.
Some landless immigrants can rent land from landlords for farming.
In order to endorse the value of the land, Xia Lu clearly stipulated that all land, mountains, forests, and lakes within the "Wang Ji" except private land and land affiliated with the country are public land.
Without this provision, the land within the Xia Kingdom would be worthless.
This must be made clear at the outset of private ownership of land, otherwise it will be a problem later.
Hua explained to the people that the legal principle of this law was that without the protection of Xia's state machinery and military power, these lands would be worthless.
The land that Xia State protected with military force could not be freely occupied by private individuals.
If someone still cannot understand this law, if he is a runaway slave, he can leave the Xia Kingdom on his own.
If he is a slave, he can also leave the Xia Kingdom on his own after he has repaid the Xia Kingdom's redemption fee with military merit or other meritorious deeds.
The cities were managed by affairs officers appointed by Hua.
The stewards were responsible for three things: settling lawsuits, collecting taxes, and maintaining the city's public facilities.
The judicial officer can make an arbitrary decision once, and those who are dissatisfied can use the jury system to make a decision again.
In addition to the affairs officer, each city has a military governor to manage the city's militia.
The militiamen need regular intensive training during their leisure time.
China adopts light taxes and light service, so the residents of these new cities only need to serve in the militia and military service, with no other burdens.
In fact, this does not reduce Hua's income, because these will be reflected in the land value.
A land with no taxes is certainly worth much more than a land with high taxes.
For daily military expenditure, Hua relied on the output of public fields in Huayi and the Huayi Basin.
The number of Huben soldiers has increased sharply to tens of thousands, and a stable and standardized military system is imperative.
It is impossible to deploy them at will like when the number of soldiers was small.
After referring to the military systems of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, Hua drafted the establishment of the Huben Army.
There are twenty-five people in a corps, with a chief and a deputy corps commander each.
Wu is Huben's smallest combat unit.
The corps is also the smallest unit of arms, that is, there cannot be two combat arms in one corps at the same time.
There are four teams in a team, with one centurion and one deputy centurion each.
The centurion is also in the team.
There are also 3 medical officers, 8 cooks, 3 soldiers for management and maintenance, and 6 people in charge of driving and raising baggage.
Each team has a total of 120 people, three baggage vehicles, and six draft horses or oxen.
Ten teams form a brigade, with a chief and deputy captain each, and a financial officer, a chief and deputy, who are responsible for the management, distribution and coordination of grain, grass and soldiers.
A secretary is responsible for administrative work such as recording and verifying military merits and results.
There are 90 guards directly under the management of the commander, including 30 signal scouts, 30 military police, and 30 general guards.
Each brigade is equipped with four elephant castles.
A total of 1,320 personnel per brigade Three brigades form one division, and each division has a chief and deputy commander.
The rest of the organization is equivalent to that of a brigade.
Each division has a total establishment of 4,080 people.
The entire Huben is temporarily organized into five divisions, namely, southeast, northwest, and middle divisions.
Currently, only the three divisions of east, west, and middle divisions are fully organized.
There are four types of troops: spear infantry, shield guards, archers and cavalry.
In addition, the reconnaissance scouts at the division and brigade levels are composed of reconnaissance cavalry and special operations infantry trained by hero hunters.
The sources of these sergeants and cavalry were all the slave children adopted by Huayi in the early days.
At present, the commanders and commanders are mostly soldiers from the Qilin Guard or Huben veterans with a lot of practical experience and military exploits.
There are dozens of outpost fortresses stretching from Jiayuguan Pass in Cousang Plain to the west, to the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain in the east, to Mengjin Ferry in the north, and to the Wuyi line of Yingyi and Wuyi in the south.
The original Huben garrison was all replaced by militiamen from nearby cities, but the fort commanders were still selected and appointed by Hua from Huben veterans.
The Xia Kingdom's headquarters militia and the militiamen of various subordinate countries, including the Iraqi Soviet militiamen, were all redressed and unified into halberd warriors, shield bearers, and crossbow soldiers.

The current high-end workshops of the Bronze Age can already produce crossbows made of bronze parts.
The style is similar to that of the Qin crossbow in later generations.
There are two types of arm crossbows and kick-open crossbows.
The range and power of the former are similar to those of the horn bow, with an effective range of 6080 meters, but the rate of fire is far behind.
The latter's range power is even slightly stronger than that of the compound bow, with an effective range of 100-120 meters, but its firing rate is even slower.
Although it has a shortcoming in rate of fire, the crossbow is very suitable for militiamen who do not have time for long-term professional training.
In fact, Hua used its own mechanical expertise to design a crossbow with greater power, lighter operation, and more intensive firepower.
However, some of them, such as ratchets, pulleys, chutes, and other parts that require higher dimensional accuracy, are difficult to use with existing bronze.
The craftsmanship of the Times Workshop cannot yet be produced.
The militia is divided into two categories.
One is the garrison militia, which is led by various generals from local and subordinate countries and outposts.
The first category is uniformly managed and recruited by several militia camps established by the Xia State.
They conduct regular intensive training every year and are fully recruited when there are wartime recruits.
