Population.

Population is a crucial factor for a country at any given time.

When the social productive forces are limited, too little or too much population will lead to the instability of the whole country, but when the social productive forces of a country and a civilization have been sufficient to an almost unlimited extent, there is no doubt that the population is more than the better.

Just like the empire now.

At the beginning of Mu Yunsheng's ascension to the throne, there was only one planet in the empire, although it was called the capital star, but the entire empire knew from top to bottom that they actually only had such a territory.

But now?

From the beginning of Mu Yunsheng's ascension to the throne to the present, the empire's expeditionary fleet has never stopped exploring.

As the expeditionary fleet continues to explore one galaxy after another, discovering one habitable planet after another, the empire has so far possessed hundreds of habitable planets, including the capital star, and countless planetary systems within its jurisdiction.

Looking at the entire Andromeda Nebula, there is no doubt that the Empire has occupied the largest territory.

The explosive growth of the territory has now made the population problem of the empire more and more obvious.

Mu Yunshang didn't think of ways to quickly replenish the empire's population by directly producing synths through the "Synthetic Man Act", but he always had a trace of vigilance against synths in his heart.

Very strange thoughts, Mu Yunshang can maintain absolute trust in the night crows who are no different from ordinary people except for having no body, and can allow the empire to use war puppets with a certain amount of intelligence on a large scale, but he can't let down his guard against synths.

Deep down, there is always a voice warning Mu Yunsheng - the synthetic man bill must not be passed.

In this case, in order to rapidly increase the population of the empire, Mu Yunshang finally agreed to the proposal of Coral and Fox Ziyue.

- The Rapid Population Growth Act.

Through the Empire's artificial breeding technology, an embryo can grow into the equivalent of sixteen or seventeen years of human beings in just a few days. At the same time, through the learning device, this kind of fantasy species that is artificially accelerated to grow has the same wisdom and knowledge as his body, as for the experience, there is no way, although the excellent experience of others can also be transmitted to the newborn's brain as a kind of knowledge through the learning device, but it is not a problem that technology can solve by completely absorbing and digesting these experiences into their own wealth.

And the fantasy species that has been accelerated in this way is actually no different in essence from the fantasy species that grows up slowly, he or she still has his or her own direct blood relatives, has his own family, has his own different personalities, and maintains absolute fanatical loyalty to the empire and the royal family.

The only difference from normal fantasy species is that they grow a little too fast.

In fact, this bill was not mandatory, and Mu Yunshang just gave a public speech to all his subjects, encouraging everyone to nurture future generations in this way for the sake of the empire.

Yes, it's just encouragement, but the end result is that all fantasy species do it consciously.

Not only humans, but even the people of the five co-subordinate countries of the empire today seem to this to be quite an incredible thing. But for the fantasy species, as long as it is beneficial to the interests of the empire, it can be done without hesitation - even if it is to send oneself to death.

"So, these guys are so cute sometimes that I don't know what to say."

Mu Yunshang casually caught the fallen leaves that were blown down from the treetops because of the evening breeze, turned his head and said with a smile to Mu Sashang beside him.

"Hmph, stupid brother is actually stealing fun!"

Mu Sashang rolled her eyes, and then her eyes were attracted by a shop on the side.

The time was in the evening, and after finishing a day's work, Mu Yunshang was pulled out by her sister Mu Sashang to go shopping before dinner.

Behind the two of them, Sasha and Pepeth, two maids, followed.

Of course, Mu Sashang can also have her own maid, but this girl didn't know what she thought and rejected Mu Yunsheng's arrangement.

Not only Mu Sashang, but even Mu Yunsheng's parents are the same-my mother is used to doing things by myself, as for my father...... It was in the murderous eyes of his mother that he consciously rejected this benefit.

The street where the siblings were located at this time was one of the busiest commercial streets in the capital, or it should not be described as a commercial street, it was a super-large commercial area.

Before having the five countries of the alliance as the co-subordinate countries, although Mu Yunshang began to encourage the empire to develop the commercial economy, the effect was never particularly good, but now with the addition of the five co-subordinate countries, plus his father took over the economic construction task of the entire empire from Mu Yunsheng, the empire is now very different from before.

In fact, whether it is Mu Yunshang or his father, Mu Tianxing, they all know that the empire does not need such things as commerce and economy - the entire empire is similar to a Red Police base that exists purely for war, or maybe it can also be called a StarCraft base?

The reason why Mu Yunshang still did this, in addition to his own selfishness - hoping that the entire empire would become more interesting and familiar to him, there was another major reason mentioned before, that is, to better rule the five co-ordinate states today, as well as the foreseeable more and more countless subsidiary civilizations in the future.

In the evening, the capital is lit up.

The number of pedestrians on the streets did not decrease because the sun was about to set, but there were more and more people, both imperial fantasy species and people from the five countries of the Alliance.

It's just that without exception, after seeing the two brothers and sisters of Mu Yunsheng, these people will stand very consciously and salute respectfully, and then continue to do their own things.

At first, Mu Yunshang would nod to these people, but then he stopped doing it.

It's not the so-called emperor's majesty, but because there are too many people, Mu Yunshang can't nod at all......

"Brother, brother, let's go there and have a look!!"

Holding Mu Yunsheng's hand, Mu Sashang pointed to a store that attracted his attention and said crisply.

The little girl looked like an ordinary cute sister who saw something she liked and was anxious to pull her brother to share with her, with a pair of sparkling black eyes reflecting little stars on her beautiful and delicate little face.

- If only this sister had always been so cute.

Following the gaze that Mu Sashang was pointing at, Mu Yunshang found that this was a small shop full of exotic style, similar to a bar and teahouse.

Judging from the natural atmosphere that permeates the clothes, it is clear that the shopkeeper is an elf from the country of Conservation.

Shops like this can be found everywhere in today's empire, but Mu Yunshang rarely visits it in person.

Mu Yunsheng, who was aroused by curiosity, was pulled into the store by Mu Sashang.

With the crisp sound of wind chimes, the brother and sister duo who stepped into the store seemed to enter another world.

Although the light is a little dim, it does not affect people's vision, and the interior of the store is extremely quiet compared to the noise outside, and the style of the elves is reflected everywhere in the decoration, and the natural atmosphere comes to the face.

The guests noticed that Mu Yunshang and Mu Sashang nodded their heads in greeting, and then Mu Yunshang heard a rather familiar voice-

"Welcome...... Huh!? Your Majesty? Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? ”

"Is that you?"

Looking at the elf girl dressed as a clerk in front of her, Mu Yunshang was a little stunned.

The girl had long green hair, beautiful green eyes, a tall and bumpy figure, and wore a long dress that seemed to be made of leaves.

"Cecilia? Long time no see. ”

"Yes, it's been a while, Great Your Majesty, and the beautiful Eldest Princess."

Cecilia, who can be regarded as a princess of the elf clan in terms of identity, performed an elven etiquette to Mu Yunshang and Mu Sashang.
