Huaxia Tribe
When the tribe’s population reached over eight thousand, various problems started to appear. For example, there was a shortage of food because the animals to hunt in the surrounding two to three hundred miles had been hunted out. Even the animals from far away seed to sense the danger and avoided coming close. The Hunting Team needed several days for each expedition, which increased the danger and casualties.
The issue of growing crops also beca evident. Without modern fertilizers and pesticides, and lacking the advanced farming techniques of the Spiritual Farrs from ancient tis, productivity remained low. Fields had to be cultivated several miles away, making it very difficult for the common people or slaves to go out and plant.
Other problems slowly beca more apparent, prompting Lin Jiang to consider changing his approach.
In fact, he had already thought of a solution, which was to promote the concept of a nation, specifically a large nation, instead of the city-state system.
Lin Jiang acted quickly and soon began to implent his plan. The first step was to establish private ownership. Previously, everything had been owned collectively. However, with a growing population, collective ownership was no longer suitable as it could lead to laziness and demotivate so individuals.
Therefore, Lin Jiang promptly introduced so rules regarding private ownership. For instance, it was decided that the Hunting Team would hand over fifty percent of their hunted animals, keeping the rest for themselves. The sa applied to other items, including slaves.
In addition, inheritance was allowed for private property, enabling the tribe mbers’ children to inherit wealth and providing them with more motivation to acquire possessions.
Two years later, so individuals in the Huaxia tribe began to stand out. Using their intelligence or skills, they amassed a considerable amount of wealth, making it difficult for them to integrate with the community. Lin Jiang encouraged them to establish their own tribe and make a living outside.
"You are all the elites of my Huaxia tribe. Staying here is a waste of talent and not conducive to the growth of others…"
Lin Jiang spoke kindly to them, encouraging them without worrying if they understood, because they were truly exceptional. They not only survived in harsh conditions but also excelled when Lin Jiang taught them.
Simply put, they were all talented in both knowledge and skills, the elites among the elite of primitive society.
"Leader, we don’t want to leave the tribe, we just want to follow you."
"Leader, I want to continue learning martial arts with you, the kind that can defeat a fierce tiger with one punch."
"Leader, I…"
However, the group didn’t want to leave Lin Jiang because of their intelligence. They noticed there were still many things they could learn from Lin Jiang, such as martial arts and creative ideas.
"After you leave, you can always co back. You are still part of the Huaxia tribe…"
Lin Jiang was very patient, explaining the rules after they split from the tribe. They would form branches of the Huaxia tribe but would need to contribute sothing each year as a tax to the tribe.
The tribe would continue to protect them. For example, if they faced difficulties outside and needed help, the tribe would send people to assist them. They could also return to learn advanced techniques and martial arts. Lin Jiang even decided to train a team to take turns teaching in each branch in the future.
This is basically the initial concept of the country. Even after they left, they still called themselves the Huaxia tribe, spoke the Huaxia language, followed the rules of the Huaxia tribe. In the future, they could successfully develop the concept of a country. For now, it’s just a step-by-step process.
After Lin Jiang’s repeated persuasion, finally soone was willing to be the first one to take a risk and decided to leave the tribe to start their own household.
This person was the leader of a Hunting Team in the tribe, had over ten won, twenty to thirty children, and fifty to sixty slaves, enough to form a small tribe.
Lin Jiang supported him generously, provided the best weapons, advanced agricultural tools and seeds, promised to help him settle down, clear land, and even help with farming and irrigation.
The only requirent Lin Jiang made was that he had to settle at least five hundred miles away from the tribe. Of course, he didn’t understand how far that was, so Lin Jiang explained that it would take more than three days of walking from the tribe’s gate. It was a rule that any separated tribe had to be at least five hundred miles away from others.
The following year, Lin Jiang took a group of elite tribe mbers to inspect the first independent tribe, and he was very pleased with the results.
In just a year, the population of this tribe tripled, mainly with slaves. They cultivated a lot of land, although they didn’t harvest much food in the first year, they had plenty of wildlife skins and fur.
Lin Jiang promised to trade with him. They could exchange the tribe’s food for these skins and fur so that he had enough food to feed the tribe.
Seeing the first independent tribe benefiting greatly, the other elite tribe mbers were imdiately interested. Over the next two months, over ten people applied to Lin Jiang to start their own household, and Lin Jiang approved all of them.
Lin Jiang guided them north, expanding the territory because he knew there was vast land to the north. When the human tribe fills the cultivation world once again, Lin Jiang will revisit the old place.

"Hmph."
"Haha."
In the Huaxia tribe, one hundred teenagers were practicing martial arts. The cold air made their breath form white mist, but they were all shirtless, showing their strong muscles.
The hundred people were Lin Jiang’s newly selected guard. He would personally teach them reading, martial arts, and both external and internal strength training.
Before them, Lin Jiang had another hundred-person guard who had been studying martial arts and reading for four to five years. They were all full-ti warriors, not needing to work or hunt, just focusing on training and being loyal to Lin Jiang. Occasionally, they would go out to deal with large wild beasts.
Lin Jiang had already disbanded most of the first batch of hundred-person guards, purposely giving them many slaves and won but not enough resources. If they wanted to continue supporting their families and enjoying the service of slaves, they had to establish their own households because most of the profits after establishing households belonged to themselves.
Through various ans, the Huaxia tribe had already split up into dozens of smaller groups, ranging from a few dozen people to several hundred. Now, the population at the Huaxia headquarters had decreased to about four thousand.
The remaining mbers of the first group of one hundred guards beca Lin Jiang’s ssengers, patrolling different tribes to familiarize them with Huaxia tribe’s rules, such as paying taxes and more.
"Leader."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy nad "Cloud" approached Lin Jiang and greeted him, following the customs of the cultivation world.
"Yun, have you prepared what I asked for?"
Lin Jiang smiled kindly at him. Yun was a talent he had discovered in recent years, skilled in both academic and martial arts, and very shrewd.
The tribespeople were actually quite intelligent, similar to those in the cultivation world. They may seem slow due to their social environnt, but with Lin Jiang’s guidance, many bright individuals erged.
Yun was his na, indicating his status. Not many in the Huaxia tribe have nas, as it is a privilege reserved for the nobles.
"Everything is prepared, leader."
"Good, then you shall set out with your team tomorrow."
Lin Jiang said that he arranged for Yun to set up a trading company and engage in trade with various tribes.
The headquarters of Huaxia now has the most advanced technology, weapons like swords, daily necessities like pottery, farming tools, salt, and other goods that are accepted everywhere.
Yun will travel to different tribes with these goods, exchanging them for fur, food, and other items to strengthen the headquarters and maintain its advantage.
Lin Jiang has not yet introduced the concept of currency, so trading is done through barter. However, coins are being made and will be introduced when productivity increases and resources beco more abundant.
Yun accepted the task and left the Huaxia headquarters the next day with a caravan of over two hundred people, including twenty to thirty ard guards fully equipped to handle most dangers.
By the twentieth year of establishing the Huaxia tribe, Lin Jiang learned through Yun’s trading company that the total population of various tribes had exceeded thirty thousand. He then decided to establish a kingdom called Xia with the headquarters of Huaxia as the capital, marking the occasion with a monunt.
Lin Jiang also introduced new concepts such as currency. He found a gold mine to make gold coins and used bronze to make copper coins for the Xia Kingdom.
He also organized a calendar, studied the climate, promoted agricultural developnt, and designated this year as the first year of Xia’s calendar.
Additionally, he nad the territories after powerful tribal leaders, like those with the surna Qin, who were nad the Qin territory in their honor.
Lin Jiang made laws suitable for the current situation, carved them on a large bronze cauldron, and gave them to so tribes. He also taught so young n about the laws, sent them to various tribes, and supervised the tribes to follow the Xia laws.
Thus, the first country on this land, Xia Kingdom, officially erged. Everything about Xia Kingdom will forever impact the people on this land. Lin Jiang also got his first imperial title, Emperor Xia.
