"The cabinet plans to send a thousand-strong army into the territory of the barbarians and conquer the barbarians. In addition, in the name of conquering the barbarians, a group of soldiers were hired. This group of soldiers will be used as mercenaries to participate in the conquest of the barbarians. ”

Sheehan laid out his ideas and thoughts, and after careful consideration, several ministers voted in favor of it. With the result, Sheehan didn't want to delay, so he immediately took the minutes of this meeting and went to Xinghua Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

At the same time that the palace of Xinghua New City was named the Imperial Palace, the original Xinghua City Palace was directly renamed Xinghua Palace.

Usually, in order to facilitate the exchange between the other world and Blue Mercury, Yi Xingchen lives in the Xinghua Palace most of the time, and it is also convenient for him to deal with the affairs of the two worlds.

In fact, before and after the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the whole city of Xinghua was a sensation, the monarch was called the emperor, and the people were also various celebration ceremonies, which can be described as very lively. A few days later, the heat had passed, and the novelty of the first time on the throne had gradually dissipated. At this time, Yi Xingchen found that he had not changed much except for the addition of a title on the top of his head.

This is not because the respect for him as the emperor has decreased, but it is related to Yi Xingchen's own mentality and way of acting, at least, Yi Xingchen does not want there to be a few more people in the palace, and there are naturally few followers around him, and the living and eating, or the original people to take care of it, all in all, everything is still the same.

Sheen soon came to Xinghua Palace and met Yi Xingchen. In fact, while the cabinet ministers gathered to discuss the barbarian incident, Yi Xingchen had also received relevant information from the Intelligence Bureau.

After reading the briefing sent by the Intelligence Bureau, Yi Xingchen was in the study of the Xinghua Palace. I thought about it quietly for a long time. He found. in this matter. There are a lot of problems, and it's very strange. For example, how did these barbarians avoid the city gate and enter the territory of Tucheng in the south of Xinghua Kingdom? For example, are these barbarians just a rabble, and are there other forces behind them to support them?

In order to find out the true identity of these barbarians and other relevant information. Yi Xingchen immediately issued another instruction to the Intelligence Bureau, asking them to further investigate and find out more hidden insiders, and at the same time, pay special attention to monitoring the public situation in Xinghua State.

The Dongli Kingdom has long since perished, the Xinghua Kingdom has risen, and Nantucheng has long been included in the territory of the Xinghua Kingdom, so these barbarians attacked the Nantucheng area and disturbed the people's livelihood. Threatening the stability of the people is equivalent to attacking Xinghua Kingdom. As the emperor of the Xinghua Kingdom. It is impossible for Yi Xingchen to allow these barbarians to openly make trouble and do evil in his territory.

Since they dare to infringe on the national prestige of Xinghua Kingdom, these guys should be ready at any time to give their lives. Therefore, dealing with them is a sure thing.

It just so happened that after a while, Prime Minister Sheehan asked to see him outside the palace.

Knowing that Prime Minister Sheehan had brought the unanimous conclusion of the cabinet ministers after deliberation, Yi Xingchen was satisfied, and also carefully considered their proposed military deployment.

After a while, Yi Xingchen finally came to a conclusion, nodded to Sheen, and said, "This arrangement is very reasonable and feasible, then follow your decision, which legion do you want to send to attack?

Yi Xingchen asked this because Sheehan had not clearly put forward a specific plan for the transfer of troops, so Yi Xingchen wanted to know if the cabinet had reached a consensus on this issue.

Sheen nodded, indicating that the cabinet had also discussed this issue and had a unanimous opinion, and then replied simply and directly: "The Second Imperial Legion, Captain Neo leads the army. ”

Yi Xingchen was very satisfied with this conclusion.

The second legion in Sheen's mouth is the Xinghua Legion, which is the most powerful and the most elite army among all the legions of the Xinghua Empire, excluding the Royal Guard. In fact, the Royal Guard is an army that is only subordinate to Yi Xingchen, but the Xinghua domestic cabinet is under one person and above ten thousand. With the exception of the Royal Guard, they were able to mobilize all the legions of the Xinghua Kingdom with unanimous conclusion.

The Xinghua Legion is the most powerful corps that the cabinet can mobilize.

The military equipment of the Second Legion is also the most well-equipped among almost all the legions of Xinghua Kingdom, because they are equipped with the modern military weapons of Blue Mercury, mainly equipped with semi-automatic rifles, grenades, mortars, and a small number of submachine guns. Such equipment, if placed in Blue Mercury, is not the top, but in the otherworldly Xinghua country, it can be called the extent that the attack is indestructible, and the code is unbreakable.

After listening to Sheen's report, Yi Xingchen thought about it, and after weighing it, he was completely relieved. Obviously, the cabinet's decision is wise and reasonable, and the marching schedule can also be properly arranged, Yi Xingchen naturally has nothing to worry about. As a result, Yi Xingchen told Sheen that he recognized the cabinet's decision, and at the same time stamped the cabinet's documents to launch the war, stamping the exclusive jade seal of the emperor of Xinghua and agreeing to send troops. In Yi Xingchen's opinion, this battle has not yet been fought, but the ending can already be known. These barbarians, to put it bluntly, are a group of savages, although they are for the same purpose, but the rabble is difficult to defeat the well-trained steel division after all. What's more, according to the existing weapon manufacturing technology in the Firmament Continent, even if these barbarians can master the best weapons, at best, they are only iron weapons, they don't even have crystal energy weapons, so no matter how much they have the ability to fly to the sky, it is impossible for them to defeat the Xinghua Legion equipped with rifles and mortars.

That's why Yi Xingchen passed the cabinet's proposal so quickly.

But Yi Xingchen had another advice to Sheen, and he asked Sheen's cabinet to always pay attention to the domestic situation when launching a war, and not to relax because of the war.

Compared with expanding the territory, Yi Xingchen is more concerned about the stability of Xinghua Kingdom. In order to consolidate the rule of the Xinghua Empire and eliminate as much as possible the possibility of civil strife in those newly conquered areas, it was extremely necessary for the Xinghua Empire to continue to vigorously promote the integration of the Xinghua people.

Yi Xingchen didn't want to see that after Xinghua was able to successfully annex the entire Dongli Kingdom, what he got was a steady stream of rebellions.

On the orders of Yi Xingchen. Next. At the same time as the cabinet implemented the system of rejuvenating the country. A number of policies were also implemented, all aimed at stabilizing the empire.

First of all, after Xinghua was upgraded to the Xinghua Empire, Xinghua Island increased the amount of grain purchased from Blue Mercury, and then entrusted the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce to sell it to the common people in China at a relatively low price, so that the ordinary people could have a bite to eat. This is because. Only by solving the problem of food and clothing for the people can we subdue their hearts and make them content to obey the rule of the Xinghua Empire and not be provoked by troublemakers;

Secondly, after pacifying the people with food, the empire also needed to strengthen population control and systematically manage the people, so it was necessary to implement an ID card system in major cities to clarify the information of the citizens of the Xinghua Empire. Second, it can also prevent sabotage elements from lurking among the people and running around. Create trouble. In fact, the ID card system is not a new method, it has been implemented for a period of time in Xinghua City, so it is just for transportation, and it is not difficult to popularize and implement it in other places.

But the cabinet still needs to make a clear announcement again in the country, especially in the newly annexed areas: according to the laws of the empire, any ordinary citizen of the empire must go to the city to apply for a national identity card of his own.

In every city, the Xinghua Empire is equipped with an energy spar power generation equipment and a certificate center, where ordinary people over the age of 15 can take photos and apply for documents for free.

Because there is no photographic technology in another world, the ID card of the Xinghua Empire naturally does not need to be too complicated, and there is no need to do any anti-counterfeiting functions like the Blue Mercury country, or add a chip to the ID card to collect all the personal information of the holder, but only need a one-inch photo, directly pasted on a piece of hard paper, write the name, address, and then use a plastic machine, and it is almost the same after plastic.

In order to popularize ID cards throughout the country, the card processing center sends people to the countryside every month to take pictures in each village so that they can make ID cards. At the same time, considering that the war has just ended, any new policy needs a certain transition period, so the newly occupied areas have a one-year buffer, and after one year, if they do not have an identity card, adults in Xinghua are not allowed to leave their places of residence at will, nor can they enter other big cities.

In addition, nationals who do not have ID cards, who are not legal nationals, will not be able to enjoy national treatment, will not be able to receive any agricultural subsidies, or education subsidies, or pension subsidies, etc., and will not be able to buy low-cost grain provided by the state......

In addition to food and population management, there is also public opinion, which is also something that the Xinghua Empire needs to focus on, because this is the fundamental manifestation of the will of the people. If it is managed well, it will have the effect of achieving twice the result with half the effort in the matter of national reunification, and on the contrary, the harm caused will not be underestimated.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen specially funded the establishment of an independent newspaper and distributed two kinds of news and periodicals: one is a weekly magazine, which specializes in printing state decrees, business information, public sentiments, and even novels and stories, with a larger paper and higher fees; and the other daily newspaper, which mainly provides official briefings and what happened in various regions, some of which are posted free of charge on the bulletin board at the city gate for the common people to read, and most of which are sold at low prices.

In both ways, we must ensure that we can strictly control the direction of the main body of public opinion among the people, and prevent the emergence of some rumors that will shake the people's will. Therefore, the Cabinet needs to cooperate and issue a decree to prohibit the public distribution of any unapproved newspaper miscellaneous records, and violators will be fined or sentenced to prison terms.

As soon as a number of policies and decrees came out, King Xinghua ascended the throne as emperor, and almost encountered any twists and turns, and gradually tended to the stable state that Yi Xingchen hoped for.

With the Emperor's permission, Sheehan took his leave and left the palace.

Yi Xingchen took the latest batch of spiritual space rings made by the alchemy master Rocco's team and returned to the underground warehouse of the Blue Mercury Xinghua Distillery.

After a period of time, although the Rocco team has not yet created a mature central Horcrux, the spiritual space ring has been being manufactured. Since the first spiritual space ring, a total of two hundred and twenty-six spiritual space rings have been manufactured. However, Yi Xingchen was not satisfied with this, he hoped that Rocco would be able to produce the spiritual space ring on the assembly line in addition to the Horcruxes in the research center.

However, the person who engraved the magic circle on the spiritual space ring could not be an ordinary person, at least a first-level alchemist, so the output could not be increased. At most, it can only be made by ordinary workers to make a model of the space ring, and then the alchemist can engrave the circle.

In this way, Xinghua Kingdom's demand for alchemists has increased a lot at once.

However, Yi Xingchen is not a short-sighted person, and he will not give up other research projects of the Alchemy Research Institute in order to produce spiritual space rings.

In particular, the research on crystal energy weapons cannot be abandoned.

Yi Xingchen also moved the crystal energy cannon captured in Wangdong City to Xinghua City and handed it over to the alchemists for study.

Alchemists Chekov and Schiller have also made some progress in the research of crystal energy weapons, and they have been able to mass-produce crystal guns.

This kind of crystal gun has made a big improvement compared to the common crystal guns in other worlds. That is, this crystal energy gun has mature manufacturing technology, longer range, easier aim, and greater power, which can easily penetrate a ten-centimeter steel plate within ten seconds.

If it weren't for the limited number of energy crystals and the supply of martial artists for cultivation, Yi Xingchen really wanted the Xinghua Empire to be able to equip a crystal energy army.

However, Yi Xingchen still found a use for the crystal energy gun.

In view of the limited number of tradable items on Xinghua Island, Yi Xingchen is ready to list it as a high-end commodity on Xinghua Island and sell it to the countries of Blue Mercury.

By the way, there is also a problem that can be solved.

This question is that when Xinghua Island joined the League of Nations, the United States once asked Xinghua Island whether it was willing to conduct friendly exchanges with other countries in science and technology. At that time, Liu Yiyi said that friendly exchanges would be conducted in any way.

Today, countries such as the United States, the United States, and China have sent invitations to Xinghua Island countries to participate in their international science and technology development forum.

Space technology, Yi Xingchen can't be transferred. Even asked him to take the space ring to participate in the science and technology exhibition, and let scientists from various countries ask questions, Yi Xingchen didn't want people to do it.

Yi Xingchen will not make any concessions in terms of space rings, and Xinghua Mall must monopolize space rings. Yi Xingchen can not prohibit countries from researching space rings, and even advocate them to conduct research, but he will not be brain-dead and give his own benefits to others.

The hope that Xinghua Island will participate in the science and technology forum is not just a test of Xinghua Island's bottom line? Yi Xingchen cannot take a step back.

However, Yi Xingchen has no objection to Xinghua Island deepening exchanges with other countries in all aspects.

Musically, Xinghua Island has Alice, who rocks the people of Blue Mercury with her singing.

Next, Xinghua Island should show its muscles to deter the enemy in the shadows, and no more pirates will attack the island. In order to fully express that Xinghua Island is not a country to be slaughtered, Yi Xingchen still decided to take out his unique weapons and participate in the science and technology forum, and show it in front of other countries by the way.
