Not only did they unify Yizhou, but they also went out of Yizhou and stepped into the sea, successively incorporating several islands and land into their territory. The size of the territory alone expanded several times. The new population reached more than 10 billion, and a dynasty was destroyed. These were things that were unimaginable before. Unknowingly, Dayi has come to this point today.
"Greetings to our Emperor, may our Emperor live long and prosper!!"
The ministers filed into the Chaotian Hall.
Yi Tianxing appeared immediately, and a sound of worship rang out in the hall.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
The hall was filled with talents. All kinds of talents came. This was the last court meeting of the ninth year of the Eternal Calendar, and it was also a grand court meeting. What was a grand court meeting? It was generally held at the beginning and end of a year. At such a grand court meeting, all the important officials who could come had to be present. Therefore, this was the moment when the number of court officials gathered was the most complete.
"Ministers, please report to the emperor."
Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice rang out in the hall.
This was a grand court meeting, so naturally, the ministers did not just congratulate, but also brought up various unresolved issues. These were all issues that the city lord could not resolve on his own, and could only be resolved at the court meeting.
However, many of these problems did not require Yi Tianxing to make decisions. As long as they were mentioned, the court would naturally start discussing them, and in a short period of time, appropriate solutions had been decided. Moreover, it sounded completely feasible.
Working together, we can naturally think more comprehensively than if we work alone.
Many problems are solved naturally.
Being an emperor is definitely a very comfortable thing with Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and others in the court. There are many things that you don't need to spend energy on, and the people below will take care of them for you.
Of course, Yi Tianxing hoped that this easy process would last forever. As for centralization, there was no need to worry about it.
Jia Yucun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Yi Dynasty has registered the population of over 6.3 billion people. It is estimated that there are still tens of millions of unregistered people in the wilderness. Among them, the number of newborns this year has reached over 300 million. It is estimated that the number of newborns will at least double next year."
This is already the year-end summary.
The Great Yi Dynasty encourages young men and women to marry and have children. Moreover, the more couples there are, the more subsidies the Great Yi Dynasty will give. Having children is the most fundamental tradition of the human race, the continuation of life, and a kind of inheritance. Nowadays, the territory of the Great Yi Dynasty can be said to be the safest. Most of those who can survive in the chaotic world are young and middle-aged men and women. The number of truly elderly people is the smallest.
Young men and women can naturally come together and form a new family. In addition, Dayi encourages childbirth, and after forming a family, they naturally hope to have their own offspring. Offspring are also the best bridge to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.
Therefore, the birth rate of newborns rose sharply this year, which greatly increased the population of the Great Yi Dynasty.
If nothing unexpected happens, the number of newborns may reach an astonishing level of nearly one billion next year.
These newborns are nothing now, but in ten or twenty years, they will be the backbone of the Great Yi Dynasty, enabling the Great Yi to develop rapidly and grow continuously. Every year, a large number of new generations will grow up, allowing the subsequent talents to be maintained continuously. This is the foundation of the Great Yi in the future.
"Very good. As long as it can grow, my Great Yi will have a long-lasting foundation."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
A population of more than six billion is enough to support the continued expansion of the Great Yi Dynasty and to occupy several islands and lands again. This is the war potential, and population is the most important.
"Your Majesty, the barbarians came to Xuanhuang City before and wanted to see the emperor. It seems that they have some requests. The visitor is Niu Ben. After hearing that Your Majesty is on an expedition to other lands, he left. However, Niu Ben once said that he would come again at the end of the year."
Mao Sui spoke up.
He was in charge of diplomatic affairs, and he was also in charge of Niu Ben's affairs. However, he asked what the matter was, but did not get a reply. He said he would tell Yi Tianxing after he saw him. Obviously, this matter must be handled by Yi Tianxing himself. He also knew that Niu Ben had a friendship with his own emperor. Naturally, he could not take it lightly.
Now at the court meeting, he immediately said it out.
"Niu Ben is looking for me. Yes, I know about it."
Yi Tianxing hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
In his heart, Niu Ben had already regarded him as a close friend with whom he could confide. Since he had come to him, there was no reason for him to disappear.
"To be honest, the barbarians are a problem in our Great Yi." Jia Xu suddenly said, "According to statistics, the number of barbarians in Yizhou is no less than 700 to 800 million. Moreover, they are all brave and good at fighting. Other foreign tribes have been suppressed and forced into the wilderness, and restricted in various ways, but the barbarians have not been. If we allow them to grow and develop, there may be some hidden dangers in the future."
The barbarians can live in peace in the territory of Dayi, undoubtedly, one of the reasons is that the barbarians do not treat the human race as worthless as they do other alien races. There are also tribal chiefs like Niu Ben who are close to Yi Tianxing and have good relations with him. Humans and barbarians have always lived in peace, and they share what they have with each other. The barbarians often go in and out of the human fairy city without being blocked.
There are also barbarians who are not much different from humans. If there is a difference, it is that they are more robust and taller than humans. Generally, adults are about two meters tall. They are really rugged and have a strong natural talent for fighting. When fighting, they are very fierce and domineering.
"Military Advisor, what you mean is..."
Yi Tianxing looked at Jia Xu thoughtfully and said slowly.
"The barbarians are undoubtedly related to our human race. If we think carefully, we can also be included in the scope of the human race. If we can include the barbarians in our Great Yi, it will be the best solution. In the future, through intermarriage, the barbarian bloodline can be integrated with the bloodline of our human race, making it stronger. It can also greatly increase the strength of our Great Yi."
Jia Xu said without hesitation.
In these words, he bluntly revealed his desire to incorporate the barbarians into the human race. If he succeeded, Jia Xu would be remembered for thousands of years and leave an immortal monument among the human race.
"Well, let's discuss this later."
After Yi Tianxing hesitated for a moment, he spoke.
Let's suppress this matter for now. The barbarians are not a race that anyone can bully. This can be seen from the fact that other foreign tribes will not easily offend them. Not to mention that the barbarians are related to Niu Ben, and the human race is also very close. If we rashly plot against our allies, if this gets out, the reputation of the Great Yi Dynasty in the entire Eternal World will be ruined.
It is not good for the future and has too great an impact.
Of course, if the barbarians volunteer, that would be a different matter.
"In our Great Yi Dynasty, the operation of all the major immortal cities has been put on track. All the human beings have become cultivators and embarked on the path of cultivation. The newly occupied areas have also begun to operate."
Huang Chengyan also spoke.
"The Six Gates monitor the world and found that some alien races are secretly spying on our Great Yi Immortal City. In addition, some demons and ghosts are secretly attacking our people, sucking their blood and devouring their souls. Some ghosts even dare to extend their tentacles into the Immortal City."
Zhuge Zhengwo took a step forward and spoke respectfully.
"The demons and ghosts are really bold. It's ok to stay in the wilderness, but they actually dare to reach out and enter the fairy city. They must be tired of living."
Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "I request that you lead the troops into the wilderness and slay the demons."
A cold light flashed in Feng's eyes.
"These demons dared to invade the Immortal City. This incident is extremely bad and must be contained and suppressed. Otherwise, it will sooner or later turn into a major hidden danger."
"I second the motion!!"
"Any demon that dares to devour the blood of the human race shall be killed."
In the hall, the ministers were furious. In their eyes, this was a provocation to the entire Great Yi Dynasty. If it was not contained, how could the majesty of the Great Yi be demonstrated
"These demons do need to be suppressed. The Six Gates have the responsibility to maintain stability within the Great Yi Dynasty. They can recruit strong people to join the Six Gates. They will kill any demons that dare to absorb the essence and blood of our human race for cultivation. If the Six Gates cannot solve the problem, they can report it to the Tongtian Pavilion and ask the Tongtian Pavilion priests to suppress it."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
The Heavenly Dao Seal is becoming more and more unstable, and the scope of release is also getting wider and wider. Many previously sealed demons continue to break the seal and appear in the world. Demons are not scary. What is scary is that some demons have very weak rationality. It can even be said that they only have one instinct. That is an instinct to find food. Instinctively hunt human beings, devour their essence and blood, and seize their souls.
The harm caused by these unconscious demons and monsters is often even greater.
Fortunately, in the Great Yi Dynasty, all the people practiced cultivation, and they were all monks, so their resistance to these ghosts was extremely strong and not very huge. Many demons and ghosts were killed as soon as they entered the fairy city.
Only some demons with extremely strange abilities can cause certain harm.
This unconscious demon seems to be somewhat different from those rational and intelligent demons.
Sometimes, aliens and even humans may turn into monsters and demons after death. No one knows the specific reason.
Afterwards, other important officials also summarized the various matters concerning the ninth year of the Eternal Calendar.
In general, the Great Yi Dynasty still maintained its thriving momentum, even more fiercely, and the expansion of its territory was the most important point. The materials in the Great Yi territory also became richer, more complete, and more varied, adding to the various products of the Great Yi.
