[It’s so cold, it’s going to snow.]
Ding ding ding!!
Let’s not talk about the process of Yao Yue Lianxing going to the harem to meet Cai Yan.
Follow the decision of the grand court meeting.
All that was heard was a series of clear bell sounds ringing in the palace. The sound of the jade bell was crisp and had great penetrating power, and was clearly transmitted to the ears of every cultivator. All the courtiers of the Dayi Dynasty began to follow the cloud ladder, climb up the palace treasure tree, and head towards the Chaotian Palace.
Chaotian Hall is where daily meetings are held.
The place where court meetings were held.
Huang Chengyan and others had received the news long before. When they heard the bell, they followed the ladder to the Chaotian Hall and entered the hall one after another.
The hall is very spacious, and you won't feel cramped or oppressive here at all.
Civil officials are on the left, and military generals are on the right.
At this moment, the people stood in an orderly and fast manner. They stood according to their respective ranks. If you look carefully, you can see clearly that there are quite a few people in the hall. It can be seen that the talents in Dayi are constantly being discovered.
After entering the hall, joy could be seen on the faces of many court officials. After all, not only did Yi Tianxing return safely this time, but the soldiers who went there did not suffer much damage. In fact, there was no loss of overall numbers, but there seemed to be signs of extra people.
Before they knew it, generals including Yang Ye had also arrived.
In addition, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Shun and other people who had clearly expressed their intention to join Dayi also entered the hall. They were included in this grand court meeting.
"The King has arrived!!"
A eunuch shouted in a sharp voice, and the words echoed in the hall.
No one knew when Yi Tianxing had appeared on the top of the dragon throne. This appearance was silent and no one in the hall could tell when he appeared. This made many people subconsciously feel awe-inspiring.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever!"
In the hall, all the court officials bowed in unison.
"No need to be polite, my dear ministers, please stand up!!"
Yi Tianxing nodded and gestured with his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Huang Chengyan and others also said, standing up straight and looking at Yi Tianxing.
"This grand court meeting is held for one reason. First, we are going to the battlefield of gods and demons. We don't know what kind of changes have occurred in Dayi in the past five months. Second, we want to talk to everyone about the battlefield of gods and demons and make arrangements for the future of Dayi."
Yi Tianxing spoke, motioning towards Huang Chengyan, “Mr. Huang, I wonder if anything big has happened in Dayi in the past few months.”
"Reporting to the king, because the battlefield of gods and demons has been opened, most of the strong men from various races have gone to the battlefield, and we still leave a large number of soldiers in Dayi to guard it. Although there are alien races spying around, they dare not offend easily. Seriously speaking, it is still relatively peaceful, giving us Dayi five months of development time. Now, all the major immortal cities have completely established a firm foothold and are constantly infiltrating the surrounding wilderness. The situation within the territory of Dayi can be said to be very good, and this time when the king returned, the army did not suffer any major losses. The deterrent effect on the surrounding alien races must be stronger."
Huang Chengyan spoke quickly.
It describes in detail some of the things that happened in Dayi during the five months.
Some of the little things need not be mentioned, but one can also feel from the narration that the entire Dayi Dynasty is full of vitality and is developing rapidly. The power of each immortal city is increasing every day, and there are also human beings. Every day, human beings come from all directions to enter Dayi and join Dayi. A large number of people are registered every day.
"Now, the total population of our Dayi people has reached 150 million. Moreover, this number is still increasing."
Jia Yucun spoke like he knew everything.
The establishment of Dayi was like the creation of the world for the surrounding areas. It was a blessing to countless human refugees in the wilderness. Many people in nearby human villages and towns chose to leave their original villages and go to Dayi.
Unconsciously, after a few months, the population has reached 150 million, and this number is increasing every day. With the accumulation of time, there is no doubt that it will not be long before it breaks through 200 million, and even 300 million or 500 million is just a matter of time.
"It seems that we, Dayi, need to continue to expand our territory and build more immortal cities."
Yi Tianxing nodded secretly.
Population is the foundation of the Yi Kingdom, so naturally the more the better.
According to the plan made by Dayi, the basic population of each immortal city should be between one million and two million. As long as it reaches one million, it will be a very large immortal city, enough to suppress the wilderness within a thousand miles.
Let's calculate based on one million. Ten million people would require ten immortal cities, and fifty million would require fifty, and one hundred and fifty would require one hundred and fifty. This number has exceeded the number of immortal cities, so it is absolutely necessary to expand and acquire more territory. Expand the territory and build more immortal cities. At least the number of immortal cities should reach one hundred and fifty.
When Yang Ye and other military officials heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time. They stepped forward and shouted, "Your Majesty, we want to fight and expand the territory for Dayi."
"This time, our human race has taken the top spot in the God and Demon Battlefield. Moreover, all the elite soldiers of Dayi have achieved breakthroughs and transformations. They are the best of the elite and the strongest of the strong. We can take this opportunity to occupy more territory and incorporate more land into Dayi."
Xue Kunlun said slowly. He usually doesn't talk much, but he knows that at the moment, Dayi is strong and powerful. If it doesn't expand now, it will be a waste of the good opportunity.
"Yes, our human race has villages and towns scattered throughout the wilderness. Outside of Dayi, a large number of human beings die in battle every day. If we expand outward and bring them into Dayi, we can also save thousands of people from danger. This move will be of great merit to the human race. However, I think that if we want to expand, we need to think long-term."
Huang Chengyan spoke.
"Oh, what do you mean, Mr. Huang?"
Qi Jiguang asked.
"It is not difficult to expand the territory, but the problem is, after conquering and building a fairy city, can we have enough backup forces to guard the fairy city? Also, the resources, manpower and material resources required to build a fairy city are not trivial, and we cannot be careless at all. If we fail to do so, these subsequent matters will directly drag Dayi's good situation into a quagmire."
Huang Chengyan spoke.
War is naturally a means to solve problems, but subsequent problems cannot be solved by war alone.
To build a fairy city, a huge amount of resources must be accumulated. To build the walls of the fairy city, it is not something that can be done with just a word. All that is needed is a foundation, a strong foundation and accumulation. Only with a strong enough accumulation can a war be launched, because after the war, after the destruction, you have to govern again, and that is the most important thing.
If you expand rashly without adequate preparation, you may end up in great trouble.
As a subject, he must take these into consideration.
"Moreover, if we want to expand, we first need a large number of officials. Each immortal city needs a city lord, and we need to set up various institutions in the city lord's mansion to handle government affairs and manage people's livelihood. Without these officials, it will bring chaos and greater trouble."
Huang Chengyan continued.
He is not against expansion, but all these problems must be solved, there must be sufficient foundation and accumulation to complete this expansion, and the transition must be completed without hidden dangers, so that Dayi's strength can be truly enhanced in the end. This is the most important thing.
Hearing Huang Chengyan's words, Yang Ye and other generals showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces. Speaking of which, they really hadn't thought about these issues carefully before. Thinking about it carefully, it was really true.
"We only care about fighting. These political affairs are not what our Military Council should consider. As long as the king gives an order, our military will naturally rush to the battlefield at the first time and appear in any area."
Yang Ye finally said something and returned to the queue.
The military should not interfere in politics, and politics should not interfere in the military.
This is the most basic rule in the Book of Changes.
As Yang Ye said, their Grand Council is only responsible for war, and other matters still need to be handled by court officials. When they are ready, they just need to give the order, and their military will not say a word.
"Well, the expansion of Dayi is inevitable. The strength of Dayi is far beyond everyone's imagination. Especially the strength of the army, which can be said to be unprecedentedly strong. When the time comes, we will go to the military camp together and we will understand. As for the issue of officials, I have decided to hold an imperial examination for all the people in Dayi. As long as they have enough talent and can stand out from the imperial examination, no matter if they are the lord of a city or various positions, there will be no stinginess."
Yi Tianxing said after a slight hesitation.
He had already made up his mind to expand. The opportunity was very good. Dayi was unprecedentedly powerful, and the surrounding alien races had suffered varying degrees of damage, with some of the strongest being killed and some even suffering serious damage. In this situation, if he did not expand, he would miss a great opportunity. This was not advisable. He did not want to see this happen.
Now, we can take this opportunity to launch the imperial examination.
The imperial examination was the most important reform in the entire Chinese nation. The emergence of the imperial examination broke the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the dynasty and weakened the influence of the aristocratic families to the lowest point, allowing ordinary people from poor families to have the opportunity to become superior people and reach the pinnacle of life.
In the Great Yi, various schools, colleges, and finally the Immortal Academy were established. It was already a way to stand out. To become a student of the Immortal Academy was undoubtedly a talent. After graduation, if one was willing to join the Great Yi and serve as an official, he would naturally be able to enter the court.
Now, the imperial examination is another way, a path to success for all talents.
Combined with the academy system, it can minimize the occurrence of the lost pearls of the East China Sea.
