Hearing Tong Huang's narration, all the officials in the hall were fascinated, especially the generals in the army. Their blood was boiling. This was the goal they were aiming for, the target they were about to conquer. Next, they were going to bring the domains under Great Yi's control. This was the foundation of their achievements. "Among these eight realms, there is already a unified realm, which can be called an overlord-level force. It will be troublesome to conquer it, especially the realms belonging to the Outsiders. This was especially true for the domains belonging to the foreign races. Once a war broke out, it would be a war between two races. They had to be prepared to fight to the end and not give up. When that time comes, we will have to be prepared to fight a tough battle, and there will be bloodshed, "Liu Bowen said slowly, taking a deep breath.
This was not a joke. The foreign tribes had a very strong concept of territory, especially when it came to occupying an entire domain. It was even more impossible for them to give it up. Although the Great Yi had the power to intimidate the world, it did not have the ability to make the foreign tribes retreat and give up a domain just because of its name.
If it really appeared, it would either be a fool or a conspiracy.
Such realms, such as the Berserk Beast Realm, Titan Realm, Dragon Beast Realm, Sky Fire Realm, and Soaring Feather Realm, all had to be mentally prepared for fierce battles. The Shushan Realm, for example, was a sect that governed the secular world, and was above the imperial power, so it was easy to break. In the Lord of the Rings, although there was the overlord, the Dark Demon King Sauron. However, it was still in chaos, and not completely unified, so the difficulty of attacking could be greatly reduced.
It could be said that the real war was about to begin.
It was a war between the top forces, a war between dynasties, and a war between races.
"That's right. Now that the realms have been unified, it will definitely increase the difficulty of attacking. Therefore, we need to conquer as many realms as possible. We, Da Yi, have the population, and have the resources. What we lack is territory. "
Xun Yu agreed decisively.
According to predictions, when the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes left the Everlasting World, there were many vacant areas. These areas would naturally fall into chaos in order to fight for territory. This chaos would only end when an overlord appeared, and the entire realm would be unified. Only then could the realm enter a period of rapid development. Due to the different situations in the realms, some would need a few years, or even decades to complete the unification. Some would even need hundreds of years.
But if there were no accidents, a hundred years should be the time when the situation of the major domains would be completely stable.
Of course, this was referring to the interior of each realm. If it was a campaign against the outside world, then it naturally wouldn't be counted.
Therefore, these hundred years were the most precious.
For ambitious people, this was even more precious. It was the best stage for expansion. Relatively unified domains usually only occupied a small number of domains, but as time passed, the number of unified domains would increase. At that time, the difficulty would continue to increase.
This was like the great waves washing away the sand. Whether or not one could rise and soar into the sky depended on one's own foundation.
Da Yi had the resources, the population, and the talents. If it didn't expand its territory at this time, it would simply be struck by lightning.
Attack!
Relentless attacks!
He brought each domain under his control.
This was Da Yi's path of expansion and growth.
"Yes, Da Yi's expansion naturally can't be stopped. However, we can't be impatient either. This lowly subject thinks that now that Da Yi has four new domains. Although the Immortal Cities have already gained a firm foothold, they still need time to thoroughly cultivate and thoroughly stabilize them. They even need to take root and become unshakable. This time will take at least half a year to a year. "
Xi Zhicai suddenly said.
Occupying a domain wasn't the foundation. Governing a domain and bringing it under one's complete control was the most important. Only such a domain could provide endless help to Da Yi, and not become a burden or a drain on its energy.
It was very necessary to recuperate and build up its strength.
"Official Xi's words make sense. Occupying a domain is just one of the reasons. More importantly, each Immortal City needs to develop special products and exert influence on the surrounding areas, so that the citizens can also develop recognition. Outside the Immortal City, open up spirit fields and plant spirit plants. In the wilderness, search for treasures. The citizens of the Immortal City also need time to grow and become stronger. However, half a year's time should be enough. During this time, the Hall of Heavenly Disaster will continue to penetrate into the eight domains and investigate the basic situation. The Heavenly Plan Institute will collect data at any time and discuss methods of conquest.
Yi Tianxing nodded.
If they were to mobilize their troops again, it would be in half a year's time. It was impossible to stop expanding. How would Da Yi's one trillion people be settled? They had to expand as much as possible during this golden period, but they had to ensure that they didn't go all out. They had to truly make sure that expansion and the people's livelihood went hand in hand.
"Holy King is wise."
The officials praised respectfully.
"Holy King, there are many meritorious and talented people in this conquest of the four domains. For example, the Zheng family of Coconut King Island took the lead in seeking refuge with Da Yi, providing the whereabouts of the pirates and the location of their base. They even stood out to persuade the other Pirate Lords. We should set an example and publicize it to the outside world. It will be of great help to the conquest of other domains in the future. "
Mao Sui suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Yes, they took the lead in seeking refuge with Da Yi and made meritorious contributions in the conquest of the Caribbean Sea. I, Da Yi, will naturally not turn a blind eye to it. Dear ministers, how do you think we should reward those who have made meritorious contributions in this conquest? "Yi Tianxing nodded and said.
"This humble subject thinks that we should reward them. Only then can the outside world know that we, Da Yi, have the utmost sincerity towards those who are willing to seek refuge with us. Just like buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold pieces, these first batch of people who have surrendered should naturally be rewarded. Moreover, the rewards should be generous. Our Da Yi's nobility system was established for them. "
Huang Chengyan said loudly.
At this time, they couldn't be stingy. They had to show Da Yi's magnanimity.
"Yes, of course we can confer nobility. However, how should we reward them? Dear ministers, why don't you discuss it?"
Yi Tianxing nodded in agreement.
"This humble subject thinks that the Heavenly Dragon Emperor will be conferred the title of a Rank 1 Earl. This is a declaration of surrender with the identity of the Emperor of the Empire. The rewards for the others cannot exceed this level. If we confer a title, it should be a title below that of an Earl. For example, if the Zheng Clan has made great contributions, they can be conferred the title of Viscount, a Rank 1 Viscount. As for the others, they can be conferred the title of Rank 2 or Rank 3 Viscount. Based on their individual strength and past conduct, they should be judged. "
Mao Sui said.
Conferring the title of Viscount was not a bad idea. Having a title of Viscount was already considered a noble with status. They had status and position. With the Zheng Clan's original identity as pirates, they should be satisfied to be conferred such a title.
"This subject agrees!"
"This is enough to show the sincerity of Da Yi. Seconded."
"This subject agrees."
The ministers in the hall expressed their agreement. Da Yi's title of Viscount was not that cheap.
"Hmm. In that case, after the court meeting, all of you will draft a constitution and present it to me. The Six Departments will discuss it, and the Hall of Heavenly Virtue will make the final decision. "Yi Tianxing nodded and said. Da Yi did not have a cabinet, but the Hall of Heavenly Virtue could be considered a cabinet. Only the virtuous were allowed to enter.
"My dear ministers, today, I, the Holy King, also have an announcement to make."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
"We respectfully await your words!!"
The ministers said respectfully.
"Imperial edict!!"
Yi Tianxing nodded, then waved his hand and said to Patriarch Sunflower.
"Yes, Holy King."
Patriarch Sunflower stepped forward, holding the imperial edict in his hand. He opened it and made the announcement.
"By the will of the heavens, the Holy King declares: Da Yi has risen from humble beginnings, bathed in blood and slaughter against the Outsiders and wild beasts, establishing its foundation. The ministers and generals have worked hard, and the people have sacrificed their lives to establish a new dynasty. The ministers and generals have worked hard, and the generals have worked hard. "You must be rewarded for your outstanding service. I hereby confer you the title of Viscount. You shall enjoy the glory of Da Yi. You shall share the honor of the nation, and the glory of the nation."
The voice announcing the imperial edict not only echoed throughout the Hall of Heavenly Virtue, but also throughout all of Da Yi's territories. Be it in the wilderness or in the immortal cities, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Listen up, this is an imperial edict. The Holy King is going to confer titles to the ministers and generals."
"That's right. The officials in the court have played a huge part in making Da Yi what it is today. And the generals, they've all shed blood for Da Yi. They've fought on the battlefields and conquered the vast territories we have today. They deserve to be conferred titles. They deserve it. "
"I look forward to it. I wonder what kind of titles they'll receive this time, and if any of them will become dukes or marquises. You should know that in Da Yi, dukes and marquises are conferred based on military contributions. Only those who have performed meritorious deeds can be conferred. "
Countless commoners felt their hearts burn with anticipation when they heard this.
Many other cultivators were also paying close attention.
The Roll of Nobility in Da Yi was one of the most important lists. It would bring good fortune to future generations. It could be passed down. Even if they didn't want it, their families needed it. Which of the ministers of Da Yi didn't have a wife and children? They all had families and businesses.
Now that Yi Tianxing had announced the conferment of nobility, the ministers felt their hearts burn with excitement. They'd be lying if they said they weren't excited.
More than that, they were pleasantly surprised. They hadn't expected Yi Tianxing to decide on the conferment of nobility today.
"The conferment will be based on your contributions. At the same time, a corresponding amount of merit will be deducted. Based on our discussions with the ministers, we've decided on a system for exchanging merit for nobility. "
"There are six noble titles: duke, duke, marquis, count, viscount, and baron. Among them, a baron requires at least ten thousand merit points. He could be promoted to a Rank-9 Baron, and to a Rank-8 Baron would require an additional 20,000 merit points. A rank-seven baron requires an additional thirty thousand merit points. If you want to be conferred the title of a Rank 1 Baron, you need 450,000 merit points. "
"A viscount requires five hundred thousand merit points to become a rank-nine viscount. A rank-eight requires another fifty thousand. A rank-seven requires another one hundred thousand. A rank-one viscount requires two million three hundred thousand merit points. "
"A count requires two million five hundred thousand merit points to become a rank-nine earl. A rank-eight requires another one hundred thousand, and a rank-seven requires another two hundred thousand. A rank-one requires twenty-eight million merit points."
