"It's so cold, it's going to snow."
Ding ding ding!!
Not to mention the process of inviting Yue Lian Xing to the harem to meet Cai Yan.
After the court meeting was decided.
The crisp sound of a bell rang continuously in the palace. The jade bell was crisp and had a strong penetrating power. It was clearly transmitted to the ears of every cultivator. All the officials of the Da Yi Dynasty began to climb up the cloud ladders to Baoshu and head for the Skyward Palace.
The Skyward Palace was the place where meetings were held.
The place where the court meeting was held.
Huang Chengyan and the others had already received the news. When they heard the bell, they all followed the cloud ladders to the front of the Skyward Palace and stepped into the main hall.
The main hall was very spacious. It didn't feel cramped or oppressive at all.
The civil officials were on the left, and the generals were on the right.
At this moment, they quickly stood in an orderly manner. They stood according to their ranks. It was easy to see at a glance. The number of people in the main hall was not small at all. It was obvious that the talents of the Da Yi Dynasty were constantly being discovered.
After entering the main hall, many of the officials could see the joy on their faces. After all, Yi Tianxing had returned safely. Moreover, the soldiers who went there did not suffer any major losses. In fact, there was no sign of a decrease in the number of soldiers. In fact, it seemed like the number of soldiers had increased.
Before they knew it, Yang Ye and the other generals had also arrived.
Also, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Shun, and the others who had clearly expressed their willingness to join the Da Yi Dynasty had also entered the main hall. They were included in the court meeting.
"The King has arrived!!"
A servant shouted in a shrill voice. His voice echoed in the main hall.
At some point, Yi Tianxing had appeared on the dragon throne at the top. His appearance was soundless, and no one in the palace was able to tell when he had appeared. This caused many people to subconsciously feel a chill in their hearts.
"Greetings to the King. May the King live forever!!"
All the officials in the main hall bowed in unison.
"There's no need for such formalities. Please rise!!"
Yi Tianxing nodded and gestured with his hand.
"Thank you, the King!!"
Huang Chengyan and the others chimed in. He straightened his back and looked at Yi Tianxing.
"There are two reasons for holding this court meeting. Firstly, it's to head to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. I don't know what changes have occurred in Da Yi in the past five months. Secondly, I want to talk to everyone about the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, as well as make arrangements for Da Yi's future. "
Yi Tianxing said as he gestured to Huang Chengyan. "Old Huang, did anything big happen in Da Yi City in the past few months?"
"Your Majesty, because of the opening of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, almost all the experts of the major races have gone to the battlefield. As for our Da Yi, we still have a large number of soldiers guarding it. Although there are Outsiders spying on us, they don't dare to rashly offend us. To be honest, it can be considered peaceful. They gave our Da Yi five months to develop. Currently, the various Immortal Cities had completely stabilized their footing and were constantly infiltrating the surrounding wilderness. The situation in Da Yi's territory could be said to be very good. This time, Your Majesty has returned, and the army hasn't suffered any major losses. This will definitely be a greater deterrent to the surrounding Outsiders. "
Huang Chengyan spoke quickly.
He described in detail everything that had happened in Da Yi City in the past five months.
There was no need to mention some trivial matters, but from his description, one could feel that the entire Da Yi Dynasty was brimming with vitality and was developing rapidly. The strength of each Immortal City was increasing by the day. There were also human commoners. Every day, more and more people rushed over from all directions to enter Da Yi and join Da Yi. Large numbers of people were registered every day.
"Now, the total population of Da Yi has reached a hundred and fifty million. And the number is still increasing. "
Jia Yucun spoke as if he were counting his family treasures.
The establishment of Da Yi was like the creation of a new world for the surrounding regions. Countless human refugees in the wilderness were a blessing in disguise, and many people from nearby villages and towns would choose to leave their original villages and head to Da Yi.
Over the course of a few months, the population had reached a hundred and fifty million, and the number was increasing by the day. Over time, there was no doubt that it wouldn't be a problem for the population to break through two hundred million. In fact, three hundred million or even five hundred million was only a matter of time.
"It seems that Da Yi needs to continue expanding its territory and build more Immortal Cities."
Yi Tianxing nodded to himself.
Population was the foundation of Da Yi, and the more the better.
According to Da Yi's plan, each Immortal City should have a base population of one to two million. Once the population reached a million, it would be a gigantic Immortal City. It would be enough to dominate the wilderness for a thousand miles around.
Let's call it a million. A population of ten million would require ten Immortal Cities, and fifty million would require fifty. A hundred and fifty million would require a hundred and fifty. This number had already exceeded the number of Immortal Cities. There was absolutely a need to expand and gain more territory. Expand territory and build more Immortal Cities. At least, the number of Immortal Cities had to reach a hundred and fifty.
When Yang Ye and the other generals of the Pavilion of Military Council heard this, their eyes lit up. They stepped forward and shouted, "Your Majesty, we request to go to war. We are willing to expand territory for Da Yi."
"This time, we humans seized the first place in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. Moreover, the elite soldiers of our Great Yi have all undergone breakthroughs and metamorphoses. They are the elite of the elite, the strongest of the strong. We can use this opportunity to occupy more territory and bring more land into Da Yi. "
Xue Kunlun said slowly. He was usually a man of few words, but he knew that the current Da Yi could be said to be strong and powerful. If they did not expand now, it would be a waste of a great opportunity.
"That's right. Our human villages and towns are all over the wilderness. Outside Da Yi, there are large numbers of human commoners dying in battle every day. If we expand outwards and bring them into Da Yi, we can also save millions of commoners from disaster. This will be of great virtue to the human race. However, I think that to expand, we need to think about it at length. "
Huang Chengyan said.
"Oh, what do you mean, Elder Huang?"
Qi Jiguang asked.
"It's naturally not difficult to expand territory, but the problem is, after conquering and building an Immortal City, can we have enough strength to guard the Immortal City? Also, the resources, manpower, and resources needed to build an Immortal City are no small matter. We can't be careless at all. If we can't do it, these follow-up matters will directly drag Da Yi's great situation into a quagmire. "
Huang Chengyan said.
War was naturally a way to solve problems, but the follow-up problems could not be solved by war.
Building an Immortal City required the accumulation of vast amounts of resources. To build the walls of an Immortal City was not something that could be done with just a few words. All these required a strong foundation and accumulation. Only with a strong enough accumulation could a war be launched. Because after the war, after the destruction, one had to govern the city again. That was the most important thing.
Without sufficient preparation, rashly expanding could bring about great trouble.
As a subject, he had to consider these things.
"Moreover, to expand, we first need a large number of officials. Every Immortal City needs a City Lord, and we need to establish various organizations in the City Lord's Mansion to handle government affairs and manage the people's livelihood. Without these officials in reserve, it will bring chaos and even greater trouble. "
Huang Chengyan continued.
He was not opposed to expansion, but all these problems must be solved. They must have sufficient foundation and accumulation to complete this expansion, complete the transition without any hidden dangers, and finally make Da Yi truly stronger. This was the most important thing.
Hearing Huang Chengyan's words. Yang Ye and the other generals showed a trace of awkwardness. Come to think of it, they really had not thought about these problems before. Thinking about it carefully, it was true.
"We only care about war, these government affairs are not something we, the Military Council, should consider. As long as His Majesty gives the order, the military will naturally rush to the battlefield. We will appear in any region. "
Yang Ye finally said, and returned to the queue.
The military does not interfere with politics, politics does not interfere with the military.
This was the most basic rule of Da Yi.
As Yang Ye said, the Military Council was only in charge of war, other matters were handled by the court officials. When it was ready, they only needed to give the order, the military would not say a word.
"Yes, Da Yi's expansion is imperative. Our Da Yi's strength is far beyond everyone's imagination. Especially the military's strength, it can be said to be unprecedentedly strong. When the time comes, you will understand when we go to the barracks together. As for the officials, I have decided to hold an imperial examination, open to all the people of Da Yi. As long as one has enough talent and can stand out in the imperial examination, no matter if it is a City Lord or any other position, we will not be stingy. "
Yi Tian Xing said after pondering for a while.
Expansion was something he had already decided on. Now was a good opportunity. Da Yi could be said to be unprecedentedly strong, and the surrounding foreign races had all suffered varying degrees of damage. Some had even lost experts, some had even suffered great losses. Under such circumstances, if they did not expand, wouldn't they be missing out on a great opportunity? This was not desirable. This was also something he did not want to see.
Now, he could use this opportunity to introduce the imperial examination.
The imperial examination was the most important revolution in all of China. The emergence of the imperial examination would break the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the dynasty, reducing their influence to the lowest point. It would allow ordinary commoners to have a chance to rise above others. To walk to the peak of life.
In Da Yi, all sorts of schools, academies, and finally, the Imperishable Academy would be established. This was already a way to stand out. Becoming a student of the Imperishable Academy was undoubtedly a talent. After graduating, if one was willing to join Da Yi, and if one became an official, one could naturally enter the imperial court.
Now, the imperial examination was another path. A path to the heavens for all talents.
