"A million people? Is it a lot? Wang Lang asked rhetorically.

"This... The minister felt that the people of Daxia were as many as the stars in the sky. Lin Huo arched his hand.

"Oh, there are so many stars!"

He has lived in modern society for more than ten years, and he knows what it means to have a large population, and the current population of Xia Kingdom is not as good as that of ancient China thousands of years ago, not to mention that it is not as good as the modern society of another world.

A million people, not even as large as the population of several counties.

Wang Lang understands very well in his heart that even if Xia Guo has muskets and cannons now, this technological advantage is not overwhelming, and the dinosaur people are not stupid, after so many years of development, the same race is also fighting each other, even in the era of cold weapons, if human beings are arrogant and think that they are the boss of the world, then they will not be far from extinction.

Lin Huo frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the minister's words?" ”

"How many years have we known each other?" Wang Lang asked suddenly.

Lin Huo thought for a while and said, "According to the calendar of Great Xia, the minister has known His Majesty for almost sixteen or seven years. ”

"Sixteen or seventeen years, so many years." Wang Lang smiled.

Lin Huo nodded and said, "Time flies quickly, Your Majesty is old, and your ministers are also old." ”

"Our original tribe was only a dozen people, more than ten years, and now it has a population of one million, of which there are almost hundreds of thousands of children born after the establishment of the Xia Kingdom!" Wang Lang asked.

"This... It should be about the same, there is no shortage of food in Daxia now, as long as a family of two is not lazy, works hard to farm, and there is no problem in feeding four or five children to adulthood, counting the years of illness and death, there are almost so many people. Lin Huo said slowly.

"We have worked hard for so many years, only so many people, in our Xia country, the cities are very far away, during the period there are large areas of land in an idle state, we have no energy to take the initiative to provoke a war, our current state can only fight a defensive war, I will not exchange the precious lives of the subjects of Xia country for a moment of pleasure." Wang Lang said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the army of the dinosaur people is not the opponent of our Xia Kingdom at all, and our warships can also raise the morale of the people's army by going to them to demonstrate." Lin Huo said excitedly.

"Does that affect morale? The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the continuous development of military strength is the foundation of the country, and the conflict with the dinosaur people is comprehensive national strength, for us what is comprehensive national strength, money, food, population, weapon level, combat ability, these things are indispensable, I still used to say, when the Xia Kingdom can occupy all the Shenzhou continent, only then can it have the ability to expand outward. ”

Lin Huo sat on the chair dejectedly and said nothing.

Wang Lang glanced at him and said: "Since the dinosaur people want to visit us, let them come, if it is the Shilun beauty who wants to talk about it, we will extort a fortune fiercely, if it is not the Shilun beauty, we can take this opportunity to establish relations with this country, if it is possible, I want to send an envoy to contact them, I want to know what is going on on the dinosaur people's side." ”

Lin Huo arched his hand helplessly and said, "The minister understands." ”

Wang Lang chuckled and said: "Don't be sad, let's do this thing, the matter of Wang Lan and Jianya's eldest son has been decided, you are an uncle, you should think about what gift to give." ”

Lin Huo raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This guy is a good blessing, Lan is such a beautiful girl who cheapens his cub, but I feel a little lost." ”

"It's good that the two children are satisfied, the children are okay, they are already the boss at a young age, one level higher than your family."

The corners of Lin Huo's mouth twitched, he was very angry that his cub was pressed by Lin Jianya's family, and Lin Huo's son could be said to be very afraid of his father for this matter.

"The two uncompetitive children made His Majesty smile." Lin Huo smiled bitterly.

"Ling Lang is also one of the more outstanding among the young people, you don't have to criticize them too much, I heard that your second son has plans to become a civil official, how am I preparing now." Wang Lang asked.

Lin Huo arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has bothered, the minister's uncompetitive cub has been studying at home in recent days, and is ready to take the next exam." ”

"Yes, the Lin family is both literate and martial, and I think that in the future history books, your Lin Huo's bloodline can also occupy a lot of weight."

Lin Huo smiled and said, "I borrowed Your Majesty's auspicious words." ”

Wang Lang waved his hand and said, "The visit of the dinosaur people is not a military issue, and I will announce who is responsible for this matter at the court meeting tomorrow." ”

Lin Huo nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the minister will retire." ”

Wang Lang had never thought about diplomacy before, and there was no need to think about it before.

The arrival of the dinosaur man this time was a wake-up call for him, and he planned to hand over the matter to the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for negotiating with the dinosaur man.

Just when the bigwigs in the DPRK and China were discussing how to deal with these visiting dinosaur people, Nulu and the others, who had been under house arrest on Penglai Island for more than half a month, did not have the slightest consciousness of becoming prisoners.

It is deeply curious about the humans of Xia Kingdom, and carefully observes the way of life of human beings.

Although this small island is only a military stronghold of human beings, the living standards of human beings can be seen to some extent through the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of these soldiers.

After such a long period of observation, Newru found that the abundance of human materials was far greater than he had imagined.

I don't know how much supplies were stored in this stronghold, and the food of ordinary soldiers made it feel quite luxurious.

Every time a fire was fired, Nuru could smell a smell of meat that was unimaginable in his country or even in the entire Old World.

"Dehabora, the humans here seem to be rich!"

"Indeed, you see that their morale is high, their armor is neat, but they look like this, they are indeed much stronger than most countries."

"My brother, you and I have been to the East for so many years, and have seen the civilization over there, and now we are here in the West again, what a wonderful thing, this world is really amazing, three different intelligent races, different civilizations, I can't wait to see what kind of sparks will collide."

"Niuru, are you too optimistic, those guys in the east are not friendly, they are both powerful and murderous, I don't think the Old World is their opponent at all, if we weren't lucky, we would have been killed by them at that time."

"That's the joy of adventure, Dehabora, you should enjoy the process, life is too short, we should live a better life." Nuru said excitedly.
