Chapter 516 Historical Process



Lin Jiang, the capital of     Xia

This made Lin Jiang feel very boring. He decided to train more masters and send masters and armies to conquer in the future.

After returning to Xia, Lin Jiang thought seriously for three days and decided not to set up a mature bureaucratic system and let it develop according to the current trend.

From Lin Jiang's heart, he hopes that the world will evolve to the technological age as soon as possible. The technological age is so fun. You can write some pornographic articles on the Internet to deceive readers, and you can have equipment anytime and anywhere. Even if you go to Sanjiuba, you can pick good-looking ones.

But from a rational point of view, this is not possible. If you do this, the world will become a patchwork monster and a deformed world.

In terms of historical process, the ancient slave age to the feudal age should be determined by productivity and social contradictions. Historical trends will promote the development of history.

To put it simply, the slave era is suitable for the current productivity and this society. When it is no longer suitable, people of this era will make their own choices. The same is true from feudal society to modern society.

If the social process is disrupted artificially, it will be backfired. This has been proven by reality. Forty years have gone through the journey of others for hundreds of years. It seems that it has avoided the pits that others have stepped on in hundreds of years, but the fact is that when the economy stagnates or even declines, the problems that should arise will still arise, and the pits that should be stepped on will still be stepped on, and even more serious problems will arise.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Jiang decided to let it develop and step on all the pits that should be stepped on, so that he can learn from historical lessons in the future, although people often cannot learn from historical lessons.

"One hundred years, limited to one hundred years, after a hundred years, fake death and abdicate the throne to others"

Then Lin Jiang had another idea, that is, he would only be in Xiaguo for a hundred years, and then he would find a way to leave and let people abdicate the throne to others. How it would develop at that time would not be his business.

In the eighteenth year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang still appointed some officials, but it was not a system. He appointed whatever was needed according to the feedback from the people below.

In the twentieth year of the Xia calendar, the twelve innate warriors who were sent out at the beginning came back, but only six came back, and the remaining six were unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Lin Jiang began to send people to organize their travel notes and prepare to write the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Lin Jiang also did this personally.

"In the spring of the tenth year of the Xia calendar, I was ordered by His Majesty to visit all directions. I left the north gate of the Xia capital. After two months, I encountered a deep pool..."

"In May of the eleventh year of the Xia calendar, I don’t know how far this place is from the Xia capital. I only remember that I walked for more than a year..."

"In the thirteenth year of the Xia calendar, I encountered a country..."

Lin Jiang looked at the notes brought back by the six people and read them very interestingly. During these ten years, they really had a hard time, and many stories happened. If it could be made into a TV series, it could be filmed for more than a hundred episodes.

The paper and pen they brought were not enough to write their stories, so Lin Jiang specially sent people to find them. The six people narrated and they recorded it as data.

"Did you really see an immortal?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if it was an immortal. Anyway, the people of that tribe all said so. They said that their leader has lived for hundreds of years, and can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and can exorcise demons and monsters."

Lin Jiang found one of them and was very interested in the immortal mentioned in his notes.

According to his records, this was a tribe he encountered in the fifth year of his trip. It was very prosperous, more prosperous than the Xiadu ten years ago. The people there have always spread the rumor that their leader is an immortal, with all kinds of very powerful magical powers.

Lin Jiang thought about it carefully. Isn't this the same as him? Living for hundreds of years may be counted as the age of cultivating immortals, and flying into the sky and hiding in the ground may be a high-level light skill. Anyway, these primitive people in the tribe have never seen real flying, so it is normal to regard flying as flying into the sky and hiding in the ground.

Lin Jiang could not deny it, and then asked some other things, such as some strange beasts. No elephants have been seen near Xia Country yet, but some people have seen elephants in the places they traveled to. They were scared by the huge bodies of elephants.

There were also some strange things. They talked about them seriously, and Lin Jiang did not deny them, because this land used to be the world of immortal cultivation. There are many strange things in the world of immortal cultivation. It's normal, but the immortal cultivators didn't care at that time. No matter how strange the things are, they will try to see if they can kill them with one sword. If they can't be killed, they will explore them again. If they can be killed with one sword, what value do they have to explore?

Lin Jiang entertained the six people with delicious food and drink. Soon after, he promoted them to barons, granted them large tracts of land, and groups of slaves. They became the most sought-after nobles in Xia State.

The first edition of Shanhaijing came out in the 21st year of the Xia calendar. Lin Jiang had people copy dozens of copies and distribute them to many tribes as usual. As for the matter of engraving it in the bronze tripod, it was still being cast and would not be so fast.

In the 30th year of the Xia calendar, the territory of Xia State had expanded to its limit. The farthest tribe was already 10,000 miles away from the capital of Xia. It took several years to go back and forth, and there were many dangers on the road. All the nobles could not expand and began to work hard to develop the land in their own territory.

Lin Jiang did not force them, knowing that this was determined by productivity. The distance was too far, and it was impossible to radiate troops, so it would be better to strengthen internal construction.

In the same year, Lin Jiang sent dozens of teams to conduct a population census of each tribe. By the second year, the data came out, and the population of Xia State had exceeded 500,000, which was three or four times that of more than ten years ago.

However, this number still did not satisfy Lin Jiang. He quickly formulated a new policy, which was to lead the six innate warriors who had gone on the expedition to go to more distant places to plunder people. The means were not limited to cheating, stealing, buying and selling, and robbing, etc. There was only one requirement, that if they brought people back, they would be given more generous rewards according to the number.

The six people were already nobles of the Xia Kingdom, with their own land and guards. After receiving the order, they quickly began to plan the action.

·······

In the 35th year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang began to repair the roads in the borders of the Xia Kingdom, requiring all tribes to repair them at the same time. There must be a road between each other that can be used for carriages. The land and titles were still used as rewards, and the Xia Kingdom began a large-scale infrastructure.

In the 38th year of the Xia calendar, the Xia Palace, which took 28 years to build, was completed. It was extremely magnificent. Lin Jiang held a large celebration, and representatives from all tribes came back to participate.

"The inheritance of Chinese civilization should not be based on blood ties, but on culture. Words, pictures, and music are the things that can be passed down. No matter how solid the Xia Palace is, it can be burned down by fire and cannot withstand the erosion of time, but culture can.

Thousands of years later, as long as there are still people who speak the Xia language, sing Xia songs, write Xia characters, and follow the values ​​of the Xia Palace, it proves that Chinese civilization is still there."

After the celebration of the Xia Palace, Lin Jiang suddenly realized the importance of culture, so he began to consciously support the development of this aspect.

In addition to popularizing some literacy education, Lin Jiang began to support the development of painting and music, ordered people to make musical instruments, create songs, and perform them in the territory of Xia State so that people could pass them on by word of mouth. He

even sent people out of the territory of Xia State again to spread it to more distant places. The wandering poet even became an official position in Xia State.

Of course, Lin Jiang also ordered people to refine a large number of bronze tripods, carve many stone tablets, cliff carvings, etc., which are also important carriers of culture.

In the 45th year of the Xia calendar, the population of Xia State finally exceeded one million, and after more than ten years of construction, the official roads in Xia State began to form a road network. The number was not large, but at least there were obvious passages to various tribes.

For this reason, Lin Jiang divided the territory of Xia State into six large areas, each of which was guarded by a governor. The governor was conferred the title of Duke, and the governor had great power over his territory. The prototype of the feudal system appeared.

In the 50th year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang once again erected three huge stone tablets at the gate of the Xia Palace. The stone tablets were engraved with extremely sophisticated martial arts secrets, a total of six, free for the people of Xia Palace to learn. As soon as

this policy came out, the number of warriors in Xia State began to increase dramatically, young masters emerged in an endless stream, and the number of innate warriors even reached three digits. Lin Jiang didn't know what was going on. Could it be that their talents were really so good?

More and more martial arts masters gave Lin Jiang an opportunity to expand again. Lin Jiang supported those poor and powerful young warriors to go out of Xia State and develop outward, allowing them to imitate the process of Lin Jiang's rise, conquer small tribes, grow step by step, and spread the values ​​of Xia State. At the same time, it can also ease the increasingly sharp social contradictions in Xia State.

This policy has been enthusiastically supported, because those who can practice martial arts are at least wealthy civilians or nobles. Regardless of whether they are wealthy civilians or nobles, they have many children, so they have to inherit the estate, and the contradiction is very large. You must know that the first batch of nobles have grown old or died. This policy is undoubtedly an excellent way out for them.

In the 70th year of the Xia calendar, a guest came from the north. After 30,000 years, Lin Jiang once again saw a cultivator, of course, a cultivator who had lost his magic power.
