"Xiao Wu, inform all the shopkeepers of the Wantong Trading Company to return to the headquarters. There are matters to discuss. Remember, all shopkeepers must return to the headquarters tomorrow and make proper arrangements after they leave. "Shen Wansan instructed a young man who looked very similar to him.
This was his son, Shen Xi. He was the fifth child, and his nickname was Xiao Wu, Xi Bao. There were four older brothers in front of him. They were Shen Jin, Shen Yin, Shen Tong, and Shen Tie. Altogether, they were gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin. In this world, these were precious metals. It was Bao.
Shen Wansan named his sons after them in the hope that they would be rich and blessed.
As long as one was rich, he would never mistreat himself in terms of women. He had married many beautiful wives and concubines, and had many sons and daughters. It could be said that he had strengthened his family and made the hearts of the people of the Wantong Trading Company more stable.
"Father, didn't we already have a gathering a month ago? Why are we having a gathering again? Will it affect the operations of the trading companies?" Shen Xi asked doubtfully.
"Don't ask too much. You will know when the time comes."
The strategy of the trading companies had to change. In the past, the Wantong Trading Company had only targeted Da Yi. They did their best and indeed became one of the four big trading companies. In Da Yi, they were considered successful. However, now that they had become imperial merchants, they had to change their strategy. They had to shift from internal to external. Of course, this did not mean that they had to leave Da Yi entirely. This meant that their main focus would be shifted to external forces.
After the discussion in the Knowledge Execution Hall, the four big trading companies would still be retained. However, their identities would be changed to imperial merchants. From then on, 70% of the profits earned by the four big trading companies would go to the Myriad Treasure Hall, and 30% would belong to them. It seemed like they had given up most of the profits, but in fact, they did not lose out at all. Once they could enter Da Yi to do business, the profits would definitely not be worse than what they had now. In fact, it might even be more. It would not even be a problem for them to double their profits.
Most importantly, they already had the identity of imperial merchants. With the Sacred Court of Da Yi behind them, the convenience brought by their identity was more important than any profits. Just 30% was enough for the four great trading firms to eat their fill. Naturally, Shen Wansan and the others could calculate the twists and turns of this. It seemed like he had lost a lot, but in reality, he would only gain more.
It wasn't just the Chen Clan, the same thing was happening in the other trading companies as well. He gathered all the shopkeepers and prepared to change their previous strategy to actively deal with the upcoming severe test. The real battlefield was outside the domain. It was a battlefield without smoke, a different kind of war.
At the same time, the national policy formulated by Da Yi was also disseminated to Da Yi. With the existence of the Star Web, this sort of dissemination was rather shocking, and everyone within Da Yi knew about it.
Discussions were going on all over the place.
"This time, our Da Yi is really going to make a big move. Originally, each Immortal City only needed to suppress the wilderness within a thousand miles, but now, it needed to suppress a radius of three thousand miles. The Immortal City had to expand to the scale of King City, and the population had to increase to at least five million. The limit was said to be in the tens of millions. This time, it's really a big move. "
"This is a good thing. Right now, the wilderness within the boundaries of the Immortal City, to be honest, is already somewhat unable to satisfy our needs. During this period of time, as long as we enter the wilderness, the various foreign races hidden in the wilderness will all act very unyielding. There are many assassins hidden in the shadows, and the number of ferocious beasts and ferocious birds is also continuously decreasing. We should give them more living space, and we must leave something for our descendants."
"That's right. Our Da Yi's strength is increasing every day, and we definitely have the ability to do this. Suppressing a radius of three thousand miles is difficult, but it's a small matter. If the alien races really dare to jump out, we can just send an army to exterminate them."
Among the people of Da Yi, countless people didn't have much of an opinion about such a change. In any case, this sort of thing wouldn't affect them much, and it would be more beneficial to their descendants. Immortal cities could still be expanded, and the living environment and the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would continue to increase. For the long term, this was a great thing.
There were also some people with foresight who saw the benefits of doing this. They could release more talents, have more immortal cities, and suppress more territories. This would reduce the pressure on Da Yi, and the benefits were innumerable. This meant that Da Yi's expansion would continue to accelerate, and wouldn't stop. What did this mean? It meant that Da Yi would have more opportunities in the future. A bigger stage.
Most people were optimistic and supportive of Da Yi's change of national policy.
The national policy was also being implemented. Large numbers of feng shui masters began to head to the major immortal cities, starting with the Immensity Realm and Yizhou as the center. Immortal cities that were originally separated by a thousand miles began to move outwards, to new locations. After the decision was made, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and Heavenly Craft Pavilion immediately began to upgrade and expand the immortal cities. The scale of the expansion was in line with King City's.
This change also affected the wilderness.
There were many alien races in the wilderness.
Among these foreign clans, some were friendly to Great Yi, some were neutral, and some were hostile.
Of course, the hostile ones were in the minority.
The beastmen.
"Patriarch, what does Da Yi want to do by moving the immortal cities to one with a circumference of three thousand miles? They're really giving up on such a vast wilderness? "
"Who cares? With such a vast wilderness, we can breathe a sigh of relief in the future. Tell the children to work hard and give birth to more cubs. It will make our tribe even stronger. Increasing our strength is the most important thing. "
"Tell them to keep a close eye on Da Yi's movements. They can't just open up such a vast territory, but secretly play dirty tricks on us."
The elves.
"Queen, will Da Yi's changes affect us? They're not going to attack us, are they? "
"Don't worry, Great Yi's methods are very clever. There are many different races and forces living in the wilderness within a radius of three thousand miles. If there's no pressure from Great Yi, I'm afraid the conflicts between the various forces will continue to erupt."
The various races could only watch as Da Yi moved. No one dared to provoke or disrupt him. One had to know that Da Yi's influence was still strong even in the wilderness. The fate of the entire wilderness was constantly changing. The quality of the fate was increasing, and there were more and more of it. This meant that Da Yi's influence on the wilderness was growing stronger. Even though they were separated by three thousand miles, his control over the wilderness hadn't decreased at all. Instead, it was growing stronger. The fate of the earth was changing faster and faster.
This was Da Yi's overall strength increasing. It was enough to suppress all enemies.
The situation was like an immortal city enclosing the wilderness within three thousand miles, turning it into a small world. The immortal city was always the core region.
As the national policy progressed, immortal cities could be seen gathering at the border of the Vast Sea Region. Many of the immortal cities were already facing each other, and could be seen just by looking up. These immortal cities had been established for decades, and the city lords were all experienced veterans.
Originally, Da Yi had lacked immortal cities and experienced city lords.
But now, the tables had turned. The immortal cities occupied more territory than Da Yi.
"Pass down my orders. All armies are to increase the speed of their attacks on the Bohai Region. The Great Wall of Iron and Blood is expanding faster. In ten days, the Great Wall of Iron and Blood will envelop the entire Bohai Region. The purpose of our army's existence is to seize more territory for Da Yi, enough territory to accommodate all of the immortal cities. "
An order was issued from the Military Council Pavilion.
Soon, the originally unhurried pace of attack began to explode. The Great Wall of Iron and Blood expanded even more rapidly. It advanced hundreds of miles in an instant, and it was advancing at least five miles every minute.
This advancement caused an uproar in the entire Bohai Region.
The reason why the Bohai Sea could still resist was because the Great Yi did not launch an all-out attack. Now that they moved, all the resistance was like clay chickens and pottery dogs, collapsing in an instant. One after another, immortal cities moved from behind the Great Yi. They quickly entered the designated region. In fact, there was no need to clear up the surroundings at all. Once the Immortal City fell, Karmic Luck would be born on its own. These Immortal Cities that had shifted over were all powerful Immortal Cities that had been established in the Great Change for decades. They quickly divided up the regions. Every immortal city was like a chess piece on a chessboard.
At the same time, all kinds of information flew to the Yinyue Imperial Court like snowflakes.
At this moment, the Yinyue Imperial Court could be seen exuding a kind of solemnity. The Seven Nights Demon Emperor ascended the Heaven's Altar and was making a sacrifice to heaven and earth.
"The Yinyue Empire has become an Emperor Empire!"
A huge providence True Dragon suddenly appeared and headed straight for the tribulation lightning. In the baptism of the tribulation lightning, it quickly completed its transformation. It transformed into a Six-Clawed Azure Dragon. During this period of time, the Yinyue Empire had continuously subdued a large number of demon factions and incorporated them into its own system. Its providence increased greatly, and its foundation became stronger. At this moment, there were endless benefits in the transformation.
Not long after, everything was naturally completed, and the providence True Dragon transformed into a Six-Clawed Azure Dragon. The Yinyue Empire had become an Emperor Empire.
"Report!"
"Not good, Emperor. The frontlines have been routed. Da Yi has launched a large-scale attack. "
"The frontlines are in a state of emergency. Da Yi has advanced for three thousand miles and is still attacking. Da Yi's immortal cities are constantly entering the Bohai Region. Everywhere is falling. We can't hold on anymore. We need reinforcements. "
One scout after another rushed over from afar, shouting loudly.
"What a good Da Yi. He is simply too much. He actually launched an attack when this Emperor is advancing to an Emperor Empire. He simply doesn't take this Emperor seriously." The Seven Nights Emperor was so angry that he was trembling.
