Ying Bo lost his legs forever in this battle. When he was fighting with his sword, he was cut off his tendons by two long halberd soldiers, one left and one right, with the sword blade on the long halberd. It was because Hua had ordered that he should try his best to catch the alive.

Hua did not kill Ying Bo, nor deprive him of his position as a monarch, nor even drove him out of the palace city of Yingyi. But he would be forbidden to live in this tall, solid, but not wide palace city forever.

This palace city was formed by generations of his clan, which consumed countless people's and financial resources and was expanded, transformed and reinforced. It was as high as four battles, with a wide base of five battles, and a rammed earth wall with net tendons should have been able to protect the final conscience of the Ying Kingdom's royal family. However, it was broken by Hua for a moment. From now on, this was the palace city, it was also the cage that imprisoned him and his family, and it was the barracks of the Xia Kingdom's troops stationed in Ying Kingdom.

He was unwilling to give in. But the other party was obviously not a human, but a god, and he had to convince himself if he was unwilling to give in. He only regretted that he had robbed Hua's caravan with a fascination.

Ying Bo actually doesn’t need to regret it, because Ying Guo is the place where the Chinese will win. Regardless of whether there is a caravan or not, it is only a matter of time before the land of the caravan is taken.

In the end, Ying Bo used seals on the surrender table, and Ying State became the first vassal state of Xia State. Ying Bo also became Ying Hou.

At this time, Hua was in the front hall to meet all the leading figures and elders from Yingguo. He asked them to select a consul to be responsible for the specific administrative affairs of Yingguo in the future. A prompt to complete a system of tasks came from his ears.

Officials from Yingguo led Hua to see the newly discovered gold mine (i.e., copper mine). After inspection, Hua found that this was a mixed rich ore, which could directly refine bronze. If a systematic smelting facility was used, it could naturally purify red copper. This mine site was only 30 miles away from Yingyi, and the Shahe River was at the foot of the mine cave mountain, which was connected to Rushui and was convenient for transportation.

The system map module is then called up, which is less than 100 kilometers away from Huayi in a straight line, which meets the conditions for building the system's copper mine smelting site.

Immediately ordered the recruitment of labor force of Ying Guofu, build a fortress here, place the mine cave in the fortress, and build a charcoal burning place next to it. It will be completed within four months.

Looking at the other party's bitter face, Hua said: "You don't have to wait for a year for tax tribute. The fortress does not need to be large enough. It is enough to station hundreds of troops, but it must be strong and dangerous. There is a mountain spring water well that supplies its own water source."

The other party's wrinkled face slowly stretched out.

Just as Hua was about to leave Yingyi and return, an official from Yingguo brought a woman to see Hua. When Hua saw her, he felt a sorrow in his heart. This young woman was Hua's playmate, Ai.

Shortly after Hua was expelled from Yiguo, Hua's family could not support too many slaves because of the decline of his family, so he resold many of them. Among them, Hua's mother was in charge of this, and specially selected a better family to sell Ai. Later, as the young wife of the new owner got married, he came to Yingguo.

Hua once sent hunters to find him, but the family had already moved. I don’t know which town I moved to, so I had to give up. This time I captured Yingguo and told this matter to officials at all levels of Yingguo to investigate.

In fact, the family married to Ai's young wife was not very kind and never treated slaves as human beings. These were known from the officials.

When the two met, they were no longer the little ones they had back then. The inner fluctuations were buried under the calm appearance.

After a moment of silence, Ai spoke first: "I have met my uncle."

Hua didn't say much, but just said softly: "You have suffered in the past few years. Going back to Huayi with me is your home."

Tears were lit in Ai's eyes.

[Ding... The temporary mission "Find Ai" is completed, congratulations to the Lord for obtaining 300 points]

...

After Hua left 100 tigers in Yingyi Palace City, he recruited 80 elephants in Yingguo and Yiguo and elephant slaves who were harnessing elephants. He pulled bamboo rafts and returned to Huayi along the Ru River waterway. In the future, these elephants and bamboo rafts will become special means of transportation connecting Huayi and Yingyi. For this reason, Hua took advantage of the slack farm to recruit twenty laborers to build a simple wharf on the south bank of the Ru River outside the city gate of Huayi and an elephant garden close to the wharf, and built a simple road from the wharf to the city gate.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, elephants were still very common in the Huanghuai River Basin and the same latitude areas. Many countries used elephants for military purposes, but China believed that traditional elephant cavalry had many hard shortcomings. For example, they were easily frightened by battalions, had amazing supply consumption, and were not very high in actual combat power. The biggest advantage was like chariots, giving the enemy a psychological overwhelming advantage.

Among them, the huge disadvantage of supply consumption was that in the Shang Dynasty, a wilderness where vegetation was flourishing everywhere and elephant food could be found everywhere could cover up the past.

So Hua never cared about it. The [Elephant Cavalry] troops that can be opened after the military camp was upgraded to the Bronze Age level, and the [Elephant Trainer] profession that can be generated in civilian dwellings now.

But now, inspired by the elephant pulling bamboo rafts, Hua has another way to use elephants for military purposes. However, now it is not useful for the scale of this "village chief fighting" war between small countries.

...

A decent funeral was underway on the southern slope of a hill in the basin behind Huayi City. Dozens of soldiers who died, whether they were the Qilin Guards composed of system soldiers, the indigenous Hu Ben, and the ten bodies of the escort caravan soldiers retrieved by the hunters, were buried with two soldiers who died in the battle of Nanshanyi earlier. The families of the soldiers who died in the battle of Tiger Ben received generous pensions.

During the slack season in winter, the elite in the Huarang Basin did two things. One was to start military training and distributed copper spears and bamboo bows created by workshops. Although the long spear soldiers have various disadvantages, they are cheap. Not only does it mean that weapons are cheap, but soldiers are also very quick to train.

The second is to reclaim 500 acres of wasteland for the experiment of planting two ripe rice. Hua has verified from the village chief of Beicun that the system farmers can grow rice. From this, Hua judged that everything in the system crop seedling module should be planted by the system farmers.

During the military training of the militia, a new round of recruitment of the tiger bell was carried out. Due to too many applicants, they had to be selected and eliminated.

Now, Mr. Mai's caravan has begun to operate again and continue to provide Xia Kingdom with a steady stream of manpower and supplies, but the current size remains unchanged and still brings about 30,000 yuan in profits every month.

On the New Year's Day of the Shang Dynasty, the sound of firecrackers was crackling. The artists in the city were busy setting up stalls in the winter sun, making more coins on New Year's Day. New Year's Day is a day for villagers to enter the city.

The festive atmosphere enveloped the entire Huayi and the two villages in the north and south. Two days before the New Year, Hua ordered pigs and sheep to be killed and sheep, and went to the river to catch fish. The powerful arch hunters also ended their scout mission early by Hua. They returned to Huayi and concentrated on hunting for a while, and hunted wild game in vain.

The warehouse granary was filled with more than 300 tons of grain. Hua used 100 points to build a primary winery by the river and allocated 20 tons of grain to make coarse rice wine. According to the palace people who had given priority to tasting this wine, it was better than the wine brought back by the caravan. The day before New Year's Day, the wine and meat were distributed to two major military camps, two villages in the north and south, the residential houses and various facilities in the city.

Outside the house, the sound of firecrackers from the palace people barbecued with gazine on a bonfire. Ai, who was kneeling next to Hua, used a wooden spoon to make a wine for Hua. Then he picked up the wine and said to Hua:

"I am sending you to you, and I am welcome to you. I wish you the Lord a new year to show your ambitions of a swan. My blessings are as good as the arrival of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys of the sacred and the joys

"Tong Zhu" Hua responded with a smile, drinking the wine of Jue Zhong.

Now Ai is the only native who can live in the palace. The two of them are drinking, tasting vegetables, chatting, and unconsciously the alcohol gathers in their blood...

It was getting late.

While drinking, Mori Mian Ruo Taohua asked with drunkenness: "Master, do you need a concubine to sleep tonight?"

"No, you are not a concubine," Hua said with a smile.

"What is that?" Ai asked with a pursed smile.

"sister"

"I don't dare," Ai said seriously.

"Then you only treat me as your master, I am not just like your previous master," Hua said angrily.

"No, of course not. I do regard the master as... as my brother"

“That’s right.”

"Do you have someone you like?" Hua asked.

Ai nodded, her eyes blurred, and a man appeared in her mind. He was also a slave that year, but now he has forgotten each other...

"Is there anyone who is interested in the Lord?" Ai smiled and changed the topic.

"There is a girl who has a deep impression on her." Hua replied lightly. The girl in white clothes appeared before him...
