The towering imperial palace slowly emerged from the palace tree. However, it was still looming in the clouds. Moreover, even if one only accidentally caught a glimpse of the huge imperial palace, one could feel a shock from the soul, and invisibly, a strong sense of awe.
In the imperial palace, there is a ladder leading to heaven.
This time it was a grand court meeting, the first grand court meeting in more than 20 years, so it naturally could not be careless. This scene further demonstrated the heritage and majesty of Dayi.
The purpose of this court meeting is to show the strength of Dayi to the entire Dayi Dynasty and even to the strong men of all races.
In a word, show off your muscles.
Tell the world clearly that Dayi is very strong now. Very strong. It is so blatant.
In the past few days, the city lords from all the major immortal cities have gathered in Qingyun Realm. The replanned Qingyun Realm has beautiful scenery and is very suitable for living. Moreover, the people living there are all the direct relatives of the meritorious officials of Dayi, the families of officials, etc. Not only do they have common topics to talk about, but they can also keep in touch with each other and discuss some government affairs. As the lord of an immortal city, he is naturally qualified to live in Qingyun Realm and own a mansion in Qingyun Realm.
These mansions were all awarded by the imperial palace.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about the number of ministers being too large. It would be a joke if the imperial city had no place to live. The cloud realms could accommodate a large number of people. This time, Yi Tianxing personally asked to hold a grand court meeting, so naturally, no one would choose to leave.
Now the ladder is open.
Immediately, one by one, the court officials stepped onto the ladder and headed towards the imperial palace.
They are almost lined up in a long line, which looks very shocking.
Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Yue Fei, etc., even though many of them joined Dayi from the battlefield of gods and demons, in these three days, it was enough for them to get to know each other, and even understand each other. Most of them were historical figures. Moreover, now they only have one identity, that is, they belong to the ministers of the Dayi Dynasty, and they will be colleagues in the future. Even if their emotional intelligence is low, they know how to get along well with their colleagues.
It's more about understanding each other and exchanging information.
For example, information from the battlefield of gods and demons, and information from within the Great Yi Dynasty.
With mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, naturally, they can quickly become familiar with each other. Both parties can understand each other through communication. If they are compatible, then they will naturally go further. If they are not compatible, the worst that can happen is that they will not interact much.
On the whole, the atmosphere is harmonious and peaceful.
Walking on the ladder, people were in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Chaotian Palace.
The gate of Chaotian Palace was wide open, with guards guarding on both sides.
However, the ministers did not care and stepped into the hall one after another. Inside the hall, they were divided into two rows, namely the civil and military, that is, the military and political, standing separately. Coupled with the arrival of the lords of the immortal cities, the hall was quite lively for a while.
However, after entering the hall, everyone stopped talking. Obviously, once they entered, their mood and feelings became completely different. No one dared to laugh or joke here. The hall was surrounded by invisible solemnity.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor enjoy eternal blessings and a lifespan as long as the heavens!!"
"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress, may their beauty remain forever and their life be as long as the heavens!!"
After all the ministers entered the hall, they saw Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan appear silently in the hall and sit at the top. An invisible majesty naturally filled the entire hall.
During such a grand court meeting, Cai Yan, as the empress, was also qualified to come together, and she would not appear here at other times. Of course, generally speaking, even if she came, she would just listen, and would not easily interfere in the important affairs of the court.
This is the rule, and she has to abide by it.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
The hall is full of talented people. It can be seen that no matter whether they followed the army to fight in the battlefield of gods and demons, or stayed in Dayi to take charge of one side and shepherd the people, almost everyone has made a huge breakthrough in the past twenty years. Almost everyone has been promoted to the Yuanshen realm, and some people with outstanding talents and amazing talents have even broken through to the Yangshen realm. With Dayi's huge luck resources and the corresponding stability, it is really the best environment for cultivation. Naturally, when practicing, it is as if there is divine help.
Of course, these twenty years were a time of catastrophe. Because the world was filled with the aura of catastrophe, it was not very suitable for cultivation and breakthrough. If it were not for the Iron Blood Great Wall that separated the inside and outside and blocked most of the aura of catastrophe, I am afraid that in the past twenty years, no one would have thought of breaking through. Everyone would have to stay where they were and stagnate. It was already quite difficult to break through, and it could only be done in the Great Yi.
In other realms, there must be very few forces that can do this, unless they enter the battlefield of gods and demons.
This is also one of the reasons why strong men from all races have stepped onto the battlefield of gods and demons.
Yi Tianxing was already quite satisfied with the progress he had made, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face. Looking at the ministers in the hall, he also felt genuine pride.
"Thank you, Emperor and Empress!!"
The ministers thanked him.
Looking upwards, one can see a sense of awe and respect.
"In the past twenty years, we have fought in the battlefields of gods and demons and traveled to the outer space. The stability of Dayi is all due to the efforts of all of you, my dear ministers, in governing the world. Here, I, the emperor, on behalf of the people of the world and Dayi, congratulate you, my dear ministers. After the court meeting, everyone will be rewarded."
Yi Tianxing looked at the ministers and spoke slowly.
His admiration for his ministers was revealed in his words without any concealment.
It would be a great thing if Dayi could develop steadily.
"Your Majesty's words are too much. These are just the duties of our humble servants. We are not worthy of your words."
Huang Chengyan said with a smile.
Governing the world is their duty as subjects, their job. If they need to be praised for doing their job well, it would be too much.
This is just like the old days in the entertainment industry, when some young actors relied on traffic, used stand-ins, and recited lines by numbers. If they really memorized their lines, they would be on the hot search, which seemed so amazing. In fact, memorizing lines is the basic skill of acting. Do your job, what should you praise, what should you publicize, and you are afraid that the world will not know about it. This is called shameless.
The talents selected from Dayi will naturally not be those incompetent people who talk big.
Each one of them is a top talent selected from the best of the best, picked out from thousands.
"Duty, well said."
Yi Tianxing nodded, then looked at the ministers and said, "After twenty years of fighting, I already know a little about Dayi's situation, but I still need you to describe many specific details."
"Reporting to the Emperor, my Ministry of Personnel follows the instructions left by the Emperor and conducts an imperial examination every three years to select outstanding talents and prepare talent reserves for Dayi. Over the years, it has been conducted six times. The number of qualified talents selected has reached no less than one million."
The Minister of Personnel Gou Yu stepped forward and spoke first.
The imperial examination is the top priority of Dayi. With the imperial examination, countless talents in the world can open a ladder to the court of Dayi. The significance it represents is beyond imagination. This is the real foundation of the country.
In twenty years, it is very unlikely to select millions of talents from the countless people in the Great Yi Dynasty. Those who are selected are naturally absolute talents, or even true geniuses. Many of them have the ability to rule a city.
What is this? This is the essence of Dayi.
A powerful foundation that can support the rapid expansion of the Great Yi Dynasty.
"Because the emperor is on an expedition, these selected talents are only temporarily sent to the Immortal Academy to continue their studies, practice, and enrich themselves, waiting for the emperor's appointment." Gou Yu continued.
Only Yi Tianxing could confer this kind of imperial decree. Even if Cai Yan stayed in the imperial palace, it would be impossible for her to do so beyond her authority.
If they really did it, it would be exceeding their authority and going beyond their duty. Even if Yi Tianxing didn't say anything, there would definitely be people gossiping about it in Dayi.
The purpose of staying in the Immortal Academy is to train them. There are many more resources than in the outside world.
It's totally beyond imagination.
"Very good, these are the talents of Dayi, and we will not let them sit idle for too long. It won't be long before we can make the best use of them." Yi Tianxing nodded with satisfaction. These are only the talents selected through the imperial examinations. The talents found through other channels and the top talents cultivated by the Immortal Academy are all added up to a staggering number.
Over the years, his ministers have lived up to his expectations.
"Lord Jia, your Tianji Palace has conducted a census of Dayi's population over the years. Tell me, how many people are there in Dayi now?"
Yi Tianxing looked at Jia Yucun and asked.
I remember that before I left, Dayi's population had reached more than 100 billion, which could be called a giant. The population was huge. After 20 years, the population would only become larger. But the exact number was best known to the Tianji Palace.
"Reporting to the Emperor."
Jia Yucun stepped forward and said, "We in Dayi encourage people to have more children. In recent years, the frequency of forming families, getting married and having children has been very high. As of today, the population, the registered people, has reached more than 1.1 trillion. Among them, there are more than 600 billion adults, and the rest are children. Moreover, every year, there are children who grow up. The population growth rate has been steadily increasing. However, it has now begun to stabilize."
A population of more than one trillion. If this were to be spread out, it would scare countless forces to death.
Just in terms of population size, they are able to crush us.
It has truly become a supreme holy place for human beings to reproduce and thrive.
"The population growth rate is indeed not slow, but with the population explosion, the immortal cities everywhere should be overloaded."
Yi Tianxing nodded secretly. He was very satisfied with the population size, which represented that Dayi was on a healthy development path. However, the issue of resettlement was still the primary key issue that had to be resolved.
