"Don't worry. I've told you before that Soji and the others don't have bad personalities. As long as you put your heart into it, they'll be easy to get along with. There's no need to be afraid. Just treat them with a normal attitude."
Yi Tianxing also noticed Cao Jie's inner anxiety and uneasiness, so he grabbed her hand and comforted her softly.
Some things have to be faced sooner or later. He was more worried about this. However, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. You still have to face what you have to face. Avoiding will not solve any problem.
"Yes, Jieer understands."
Cao Jie nodded, held Yi Tianxing's hand, and the uneasiness in his heart began to calm down.
No matter what, everything is fine as long as he is around.
After coming out, Yi Tianxing also learned that it had been about two months since he started his journey to the immortal world and returned. It can be seen that traveling through space, and even the journey in the underworld, consumes a lot of time. It is possible that the time in the underworld and the world of the living will be different.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the pavilion where they usually had their meals had already been cleaned, and portions of delicious food were served one after another. When Yi Tianxing arrived, he could see that Cai Yan and the others had also arrived.
"My dear, you are out of confinement. This sister is..."
Cai Yan, dressed in a graceful and noble manner, walked over with Yi Xianhuang. When she saw Cao Jie following Yi Tianxing, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she immediately asked. From their expressions and behavior, it was clear that their relationship was not simple.
"Yes, after a retreat, this is to bring us back a younger sister."
Yao Yue said with no expression on her face.
Lian Xing, Nie Xiaoqian, and She Ji all looked at Cao Ji, and nodded secretly while sizing him up. Not to mention that his appearance was no less beautiful than theirs, his temperament also showed that he was definitely not from an ordinary family. Appearances can be deceiving, but temperament cannot. Some things cannot be faked.
They did not object to Yi Tianxing bringing people into the palace, but they had to get their approval, at least not the kind of evil woman who did not know etiquette. If she really came in, she might mess up the palace, and that was not what they wanted to see.
Similarly, this is not what Yi Tianxing wants to see.
In the palace, they hope that everyone can live together happily like a family instead of quarreling. After all, they are all monks, and they have to live for not just a few decades, but hundreds, even thousands, or even forever. If there is unrest in the harem, the impact will be too bad.
"This is the princess of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Jie. She came to Xianyou this time because of some things, so she became my woman. In the future, I will need you to take good care of her."
Yi Tianxing began to introduce.
"A princess from the Wei Dynasty? Cao Cao's daughter? What's going on?"
When Cai Yan heard this, she couldn't help showing a hint of surprise and asked.
Yi Tianxing had never told anyone about the Starry Sky Fairy Traveling Talisman. It wasn't that it had to be kept secret, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better. However, for Cai Yan and the others, it wouldn't matter even if he told them.
"Cao Jie has met Sister Zhaoji, Sister Yaoyue, Sister Lianxing, Sister Xiaoqian, and Sister Sheji."
Cao Ji also bowed respectfully. He followed the etiquette and manners perfectly. After all, he was the palace master in the dynasty, and palace etiquette was a subject he had to learn.
Their behavior makes people feel comfortable.
"No need to be so polite, sister. Come, let's sit down and talk. Once we come here, we are all family, and we will all be sisters from now on."
Cai Yan said with a smile.
The matter was settled, and she did not do anything evil. She smiled and pulled him over.
The whole family sat down.
Yi Tianxing held Xiao Wuchang in his arms and rubbed his little head lovingly.
Then he talked about his experience from Xianyou to the Wei Dynasty, recounting every scene, even talking about the underworld. The expressions on the women's faces kept changing. Especially when they heard about the final fight with the ghost mother, Nie Xiaoqian and Lianxing couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked at Yi Tianxing with worry.
"It's a pity that Cao Cao was also a great leader who founded the Wei Dynasty, but he encountered such an accident. It's a pity that a great dynasty of our human race was destroyed. This is really a great loss for our human race."
Cai Yan sighed. Cao Cao knew that with Cao Cao's ability, it would not be difficult to create a great dynasty, but there were unexpected events. It must be said that the world is unpredictable and things are uncertain. The Great Wei Dynasty was like this, and the Great Yi Dynasty might not be impossible.
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will continue to explore. I, Dayi, still need to become stronger."
Yi Tianxing also nodded and said.
Afterwards, the women also showed extra care for Cao Jie and completely accepted her existence.
Afterwards, Yi Tianxing also issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Consort Cao. After breakfast, Cai Yan took her to the imperial palace to choose a bedroom to live in, and named it Jingsi Palace.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
March 27, the 10th year of the Eternal Calendar!!
On the second day after returning from Xianyou, a grand court meeting was held.
In the Chaotian Hall, all the ministers stood tall. Dayi was now full of talents, including Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Su Shi, Su Che, Bao Zheng, Mao Sui, Li Kui, He Shen, Gong Shulin, Zhou Yu, etc. Civil and military officials stood side by side, filling the Chaotian Hall. Each of them was filled with a strong fighting spirit. There was no intrigue in the court now.
There are new changes every day.
Seeing Dayi becoming stronger and moving in a positive direction made every court official feel happy.
During these two months, a number of issues were raised at court meetings and quickly resolved. Some matters that required Yi Tianxing to make decisions also got results.
It took a full hour to resolve the two months' backlog of government affairs.
Afterwards, Yi Tianxing started talking about his encounter with the Wei Dynasty during this Xianyou trip. It was impossible to conceal this matter. After all, this Xianyou trip was not just about bringing back Cao Jie, but brought back hundreds of millions of people from the Wei Dynasty. The number was so large that it had reached a huge number of no less than one billion.
This number is not that simple.
If we calculate based on the population of a fairy city accommodating 500,000, of course, this 500,000 is the most basic population base. In Dayi, any fairy city can accommodate millions of people. And 500,000 is the most normal number.
A population of one billion means that another two thousand fairy cities can be added.
Two thousand immortal cities, each one thousands of miles apart, suppressing an area and ruling the wilderness. The territory required is incredibly large. What does this mean? It means that Dayi has enough resources to start expansion again and expand its territory.
As soon as these situations were spoken out at the court meeting.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the whole hall, and everyone's eyes were shining, understanding what a huge opportunity this was for Dayi.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. With this one billion people, our Great Yi Dynasty can once again build two thousand immortal cities and expand the territory again." Wu Yong stepped forward first and said respectfully.
In his opinion, this was definitely a rare and happy event.
"A great fortune of our human race has been destroyed. What is there to be happy about?"
Yi Tianxing looked at Wu Yong and said indifferently.
When Wu Yong heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold and the joy in his heart immediately disappeared, as if a plate of cold water was poured on his head, chilling him from head to toe.
"Yes, the Great Wei Dynasty is also a dynasty of fortune for our human race. Once it collapses, the situation of our human race in the Weizhou area will be very bad. That area will become a power vacuum for our human race. This is extremely disadvantageous for our human race as a whole."
Zhuge Liang spoke.
In the eternal world, the human race is far from reaching the point of civil war. The pressure from the outside world is never a joke. If the human race is destroyed, it will be a loss for the entire human race. What is lost is the luck and destiny of the human race. Such a thing, even if a billion people are gained, is nothing to be happy about.
"Wu Yong, your overall perspective is still a little lacking."
In the hall, other court officials looked at Wu Yong, and a thought flashed through their minds.
"Of course, how to arrange for these one billion people still requires careful discussion among you, my dear ministers."
Yi Tianxing nodded and spoke.
"Your Majesty, our Great Yi Dynasty now owns Yizhou, Python Island, Eagle Island, Swan Island, and Crocodile Island. In the past two months, the three newly added islands have been completely covered by the Immortal City. All the land has been incorporated into the rule of Great Yi. Although there are still some population gaps on each island, it is impossible to absorb such a huge population of one billion. The only solution is to continue to expand and occupy more territory."
Jia Xu spoke.
Of course, it is not difficult for the Great Yi Dynasty to absorb a billion people. Many immortal cities now have a minimum population size of 300,000 or 400,000, or 500,000 or 600,000. It is not difficult to consume a billion people. However, this is undoubtedly a waste.
Expansion is the right way to go.
For Dayi, that means killing two birds with one stone.
"If we continue to expand, I'm afraid the dragons will not sit idly by and allow Dayi to increase its strength. Even if they don't take direct action, they will use various means to hinder us. The situation is not optimistic. In the sea, the dragons have a natural advantage. They are a huge threat."
Zhuge Liang spoke.
Some things naturally have to be considered.
Although the dragon clan cannot attack on a large scale, it is very easy for them to make some small moves.
"The dragons probably won't make a move for the time being. During this period, we should first occupy more territory and absorb as many of these one billion people as possible. Then, we can change our strategy and focus on recuperation. We should first digest the gains of this period. We should avoid the problem of the outer wall being dry inside. We should hunt sea beasts as much as possible, take their carcasses, and nourish the Iron Blood Great Wall. We should grow the Iron Blood Great Wall as quickly as possible to cover the entire territory of Dayi."
Yi Tianxing said after a slight hesitation.
