Chapter 264
The ritual of offering sacrifices to the sky lasted for most of the day, and did not come to an end until [-] o'clock in the evening.

The cumbersome and solemn ceremony made the name of the emperor shroud in a veil of mystery in the joy of the people of Xia Kingdom. These two characters represent a kind of supreme power.

After the ceremony was completed, the whole country celebrated with joy, and this day was later designated by Wang Lang as the first holiday since the founding of the Xia Kingdom, the National Day.

On this National Day, the whole country rests. All walks of life are given a three-day holiday, and soldiers will also receive half a month's military pay.

Xia Kingdom was officially established, which represented the official emergence of a real civilization in this barbaric world.

With the completion of the six yamen, the state machinery of the Xia Kingdom officially began to operate.

For this young country, it belongs to a nascent agricultural country, and the basic industries are all nationalized.

In terms of agriculture, after discussions between Wang Lang and the ministers, he began to implement the policy of equal land distribution.

The small people in Shengdou also began to have their own land. The land obtained by the princes and nobles was several times that of the small people in Shengdou, but more land meant more taxes. For ordinary people, Wang Lang collected according to the eleventh tax. The nobility has more than doubled.

In order to prevent the occurrence of land annexation, the land of the Xia Kingdom is state-owned, and no one can buy or sell it privately. For this reason, Wang Lang also set up a special agency in the household department to monitor this matter.

The people who got the land were cheered up. This way is completely a personal matter, and a family can live a very nourishing life if they work hard.

The distribution of land caused the people to disperse from the city, forming small and large villages outside the city.

In ancient China, the imperial power did not come down to the counties. This method had great disadvantages, and the local tyrants and gentry formed an extremely large interest group. Wang Lang did not allow this kind of thing to happen. The village chief of each village is also an official official of the country. There is also a performance assessment every year. If you pass the test, you may have the opportunity to be promoted.

With no foreign aggression, Xia Guo began to intensify its efforts in construction.

Wang Lang didn't let the soldiers rest either.

One month after the Xia Kingdom was established, the soldiers were ordered to attack everywhere to wipe out all the large beasts on this grassland.

If the country wants to develop, it is impossible to allow these monsters to move freely on its own land. Otherwise, the common people will not be able to travel alone, which is very detrimental to the development of the country.

The army slaughtered all the beasts it picked up with great efficiency.

In half a year, almost all the beasts in a radius of a hundred miles were baaed.

Herbivores are also captured or killed, and the live prey are captured by the soldiers and sent to the cargo station for sale.

The people who have their own property are very interested in raising livestock. Wang Lang resolutely sold his prey, and it was sold out. Basically, the supply was in short supply. This also allowed the soldiers to make a small profit in the past six months. .

At this time, in Yancheng, a newly established restaurant was also officially established. Wang Lang personally attended the scene and named the restaurant "Food for Heaven".

The surrounding area of ​​the tribe has basically settled down, and Xia Guo, a new country, has also begun to grow slowly.

The gradual birth of newborns represents the hope of Xia Guo's future.

Wang Lang sat on a chair, listening to Wu Yun's report.

"Your Majesty, the children who learned characters from me before have already learned a lot, and they have also mastered a lot of mathematics that you gave them. They can basically understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division."

Wu Yun said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded, and said: "Wu Yun, I will assign these literate talents to your Ministry of Rites for the time being. I will set up a Qin Tianjian in your Ministry of Rites. This department is mainly responsible for observing the sky, recording the time, and determining the year of the world. How long is the time, the day with the shortest day and the longest night is the line, and this day is positioned as the first day of the year, and then the year is divided into twelve months, and this matter is left to them!"

"This matter may take a long time to complete, and they should be able to do it with their abilities." Wu Yun said slowly.

"Well, I also believe in the talents you have cultivated. In the future, all children in the Xia Kingdom must receive three years of education. Future officials will be selected from these educated children. This matter is also in charge of your Ministry of Rites, Deng Tianwen After the calendar is formulated, let’s start to implement it. The teacher’s choice should be selected from these children in Qin Tianjian! I will ask the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for building these children’s literacy venues. This place will be called a school in the future. It is your Ministry of Rites Your subordinate departments are also counted in your achievements." Wang Lang said solemnly.

"I understand, I will handle this matter well." Wu Yun responded respectfully.

"It's none of your business here, let's start the establishment of Qin Tianjian in these two days!" Wang Lang waved his hands to let the dark clouds recede.

After Wuyun left, Wang Lang went to the table, picked up the writing brush he made, and dipped it in some black dye. This kind of black stuff was not ink, it was cooked from a plant, and it was also black. Primary dye for cloth.

The one-meter-square animal skin is now filled with various characters in secret. In order to be unified with the characters created by Wu Yun, some of these characters include pictographic characters and simplified characters, which look very weird.

There are four large characters written on the top of the animal skin, Da Xia Law.

The crooked calligraphy has already filled half of the animal skin, Wang Lang pondered for a while, and began to write
"No. 30 three, the crime of intentional homicide, whoever commits intentional homicide by accident shall be punished with death, and those with lesser circumstances may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years.

No. 30 Article [-], the crime of adultery, if a married woman engages in intercourse with a man other than her spouse, both parties to the adultery shall be sentenced to death and their land and property shall be confiscated.

No.30 five,
. . . . . .

"

Until dusk, Wang Lang changed another animal skin and continued to write until the light was completely invisible before he put down the brush in his hand.

The two girls brought the food, placed it beside Wang Lang, and stood aside respectfully.

"Sit down and eat too!" Wang Lang said lightly.

The two girls responded, and sat cautiously beside Wang Lang, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and began to chew and swallow slowly.

These two girls have been taken as concubines by Wang Lang ever since they were favored by Wang Lang.

His regulations on concubines have been clearly stipulated in the law. Concubines are different from wives. Husbands can dispose of concubines at will. Children born in concubines do not enjoy the right of inheritance. The status is still the same as the birth of the wife.
