In the fifth year of the Xia calendar, a huge stone 20 meters high was erected in the capital of Xia. The laws of Xia were engraved on it. This project alone took three years.

"Just this Xia Law Stone should be enough to fill several pages of textbooks in the future."

Lin Jiang looked at the huge stone and smiled maliciously. This was Lin Jiang's bad taste. In fact, Xia had already been able to make relatively rough paper according to Lin Jiang's instructions, so there was no need for this.

But Lin Jiang refused to do so. He just made such a stone in order to give students in the future a little more homework and to support a few more historians and archaeologists.

Lin Jiang's bad taste was not limited to this. For example, when he asked people to record the history of Xia, he liked to cast a large tripod and then engrave it on the tripod. Even some martial arts secrets were the same. They were made on the tripod and then given to some tribes. There were many such things. I believe that liberal arts students in the future will definitely thank him.

In the sixth year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang led a group of tribal leaders to start the sacrifice. Xia Kingdom did not sacrifice to gods, but only to heaven, earth, and ancestors. Several sacrificial days were set every year, and each tribe was required to abide by them.

At the same time, some evil sacrifices were strictly prohibited, such as some primitive worship brought when annexing certain tribes. No matter what they worshipped, they were not allowed. Those who violated the order would be beheaded.

In the eighth year of the Xia calendar, the population of Xia Kingdom exceeded 100,000, and the population growth was extremely fast. Moreover, the annexation of tribes was no longer the main factor for population growth. The natural reproduction of the population became the main means.

This was due to the rapid development of Xia Kingdom's agricultural technology. Lin Jiang had never forgotten the progress in this regard, and food had always been the biggest obstacle to population control. In this era, there was no high housing price, women's rights, etc., and the people of Xia Kingdom had no activities at night. Making people was the greatest pleasure. It was common for a family to have three or five children, and ten or eight were not uncommon.

However, Lin Jiang still felt that the population growth was too slow, and the territory of Xia Kingdom was still too small. He still had to find a way to expand. It would be best if the territory of Xia Kingdom included all the previous immortal worlds.

In order to provide motivation for expansion again, Lin Jiang designed a set of noble titles. Lin Jiang adopted the noble ranks of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with a total of six levels, from high to low, divided into king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

Each level of nobles has different powers and status. For example, the lowest level baron can have a large fiefdom, what clothes can he wear, how many guards he can have, etc., and the viscount will have more than the baron.

Don't underestimate these things. These power and status are one of the sources of struggle for secular people. Many people can break their heads for these things.

When the noble title was first established, Lin Jiang only conferred dozens of barons, and there was no viscount, because Lin Jiang wanted to make the nobility a scarce thing. Scarcity makes things valuable. If it is rotten on the street, it will be worthless.

The level of the nobility is related to their strength. How much land, how many people, and how much tax can be contributed to the capital of Xia are the standards for judging the level of the nobility, which drives ordinary people and nobles to expand.

Of course, Lin Jiang strictly prohibited internal annexation. Once discovered, their noble titles would be immediately stripped, they would be made slaves, their fiefdoms would be taken away, etc., forcing them to expand outward.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

In Xiadu, twelve young men saluted Lin Jiang.

In the past twenty or thirty years, Lin Jiang himself has trained hundreds of warriors. These twelve are the best among them, and all have the strength of innate warriors.

Any one of them is stronger than the leaders of those tribes outside, and one can defeat a hundred.

"Has the captain of the guard made the mission clear?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I will practice it for you today, and I hope you will return with great success,"

said Lin Jiang. He issued an order to these twelve people, which was to explore the outside and explore to the north.

Each of them was good at both civil and military affairs. Lin Jiang asked them to bring enough paper and pen to record everything they saw and heard along the way. When they came back, these records would be bound into a book. He had already thought of the title, which was called Shan Hai Jing. Lin Jiang didn't mind adding some things from the world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Jiang gave them a mission time limit of ten years. They had to come back after ten years. When they returned, they would be granted titles, land, slaves, and population.

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

the twelve people all bowed.

Lin Jiang ordered people to bring wine and meat, and at the same time sent better equipment. Their weapons were not bronze, but iron, or even fine steel. In addition, there were armors. Iron armor was not available for the time being, but leather armor was available, and strong bows and crossbows were also ready.

Over the years, Lin Jiang had not found any demons or immortal cultivators on this land. Mortal warriors were the strongest creatures in the world. With their current strength, it was not difficult to dominate the world.

Of course, the premise was not to meet people like Lin Jiang. For those who survived the immortal cultivation era, Lin Jiang predicted that a group of former golden elixirs or immortal cultivators with a shorter life span had already awakened, and they might meet them.

Among these people, there must be some who practiced martial arts, or even specially tempered their bodies. Then, with the strength of these people, they might not be able to beat them.

After the practice, the twelve people rode away on horseback. Over the years, Lin Jiang has vigorously developed animal husbandry, and there are already many cattle and sheep. Lin Jiang specially selected a group of excellent horse breeds and trained them into war horses.

In the tenth year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang ordered the construction of the Summer Palace. The imperial palace of the Xia Kingdom was designed by Lin Jiang himself.

It was not that Lin Jiang began to indulge in enjoyment. After all, in the past twenty or thirty years since Lin Jiang was born, he had not even touched a woman. He did not have much demand for material enjoyment. After all, in this era, even the top enjoyment could not compare to the ordinary rich people in the era of cultivating immortals. He had already enjoyed what he should have enjoyed.

The construction of the Summer Palace was partly due to Lin Jiang's bad taste. He wanted to find something for the students of the future generations to do. Secondly, it was to make the people of the Xia Kingdom have a sense of cultural belonging. The capital was originally the center of economy, politics, and culture. These luxurious buildings were one of the manifestations of culture.

Of course, Lin Jiang was also afraid that some people would steal the country in the future. It would be bad if they said that Lin Jiang was a thief and the Xia Kingdom was theirs. If such a thing really happened, Lin Jiang would personally lead the archaeological team and dig out the Summer Palace for them to see.

The design of the Summer Palace is not luxurious, but it is magnificent. Anyway, there is plenty of land. Lin Jiang also tried to use stone strips as much as possible, which can withstand tens of thousands of years. Maybe there will be no need for archaeology at that time, and it can be used as a museum. I just hope that Lin Jiang will not be charged for tickets at that time.

The Summer Palace, which covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, is a very large project. In addition to technical personnel, Lin Jiang uses slaves to work. There are many slaves now. After the title of Xia State was promulgated, Xia State has sufficient expansion power. In recent years, a large number of primitive tribes have been annexed. Those small tribes cannot support so many slaves and are sold.

Of course, Lin Jiang is not the kind of cruel and bloodthirsty person. He has promised that after the construction of the Summer Palace is completed, all these slaves will be promoted to civilians.

In this regard, Lin Jiang is very kind. The slaves in his memory have no power. Even the Shang and Zhou dynasties in his memory were large-scale human sacrifices, but Lin Jiang has legislated to prohibit it. There has been no large-scale massacre of slaves in Xia State, and Lin Jiang can't control one or two occasionally.

Lin Jiang himself is not an engineering technician, but being a supervisor is no problem. He occasionally lends a hand. For example, some stone slabs weigh tens of thousands of pounds, and dozens of slaves cannot lift them, but Lin Jiang can carry them by himself. This magical scene can make Lin Jiang even more mysterious, and the people of Xia will worship him even more.

Of course, Lin Jiang is not here to do hard labor. This kind of thing is only done occasionally. If you do it too much, the mystery will be gone.

"A pyramid can make historians argue for hundreds of years, arguing whether it was built by extraterrestrial civilization. Then I will build a summer palace, and let them argue for thousands of years. It's not too much."

Lin Jiang was overjoyed when he thought of his masterpiece. In the future, Lin Jiang felt that he could support the entire historical and archaeological circles by himself. He was definitely their breadwinner. In the

thirteenth year of the Xia calendar, a message came to Lin Jiang that a tribe of Xia failed to expand. They encountered a super-large tribe with a population of over 10,000 in the northeast of Xiadu. This news immediately aroused Lin Jiang's interest.
