In June of the twenty-fifth year of the new calendar, Li Yang was already fifty years old, but because of the relationship between the supreme dragon blood, he was still the same as in his thirties, but his face was more angular, and the majesty of his gestures was also stronger.

The palace had been renovated five years ago to make it look more solemn, and now humanity has come a long way, twenty-two years after the contract was signed, and although the date of the contract has passed, and no new treaty has been signed between the two sides, everyone can see that the war will not be light.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest census, between 31 million and 37 million infants and toddlers under the age of seven, more than 40 million young people between the ages of seven and 16, and more than 150 million men and women between the ages of 16 and 30.

Liu Gang, who used to be the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, was also forty-six years old at this time, but he looked dignified and majestic.

Li Yang walked in the garden of the palace and said, "You should go and tell Chen Ang about this matter, I don't care about political affairs anymore." ”

"The original new human plan, is Your Majesty you strongly implemented, in the past 20 years, there is not a single homeless man on the street, every child can get a minimum education, they are fed and clothed, no matter what the state finances, every year there is a former export from the palace, a special project to improve the treatment of children, so that countless fatherless and motherless children can grow up, have the ability to be independent, but also let countless children who should have died become the pride of heaven in the university, this is Your Majesty's work, this is the great plan of mankind, Nowadays, the more than 400 million people in the north and south of the human territory are all at the helm of His Majesty, and the prosperity of the country is rooted in this. ”

Li Yang looked at the weeping willow and said: "Just ask for a peace of mind, our generation has gone from the prime of life to the twilight of life, last year the old man Guan died, let me sigh, I only ask for one without regrets, God let us give human beings a way to struggle, how dare I slack off?" But like I said, I've given up all the power, and I'm not going to do anything about it. ”

Liu Gang bowed down and said: "Liu Gang naturally knows His Majesty's detachment, and we, as courtiers, should abide by our duties." ”

The two walked to a pavilion in the depths of the flowers, looking at a group of people playing football not far away, Li Yang smiled and pointed to the stone table in the pavilion, and said: "The scene of Wen Lao playing chess with me at the beginning seems to be still vivid, but unfortunately Wen left earlier, when Wen Lao left, he said that fortunately you Liu Gang inherited his mantle, and he was relieved to pass away, let's have a plate, how." ”

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be angry."

Liu Gang sat down with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, the two of them had only more than 100 hands, and Li Yang was already tired of coping.

"You are the same as Wen Sheng, you are obviously more than one step higher than me in chess, but in order to satisfy my chess addiction, you will win me after the next game is equal."

Li Yang threw himself in the towel, and Liu Gang said: "Your Majesty is good at long-term planning, but he disdains details, we must do everything perfectly, so we naturally have to work hard." ”

"Don't praise me, I haven't interfered since the last prime minister's election, and if you want to run for prime minister this year, I can't help."

Liu Gang said with a smile: "As long as Your Majesty does not support Chen Ang's re-election, I am confident that I will pull him down." ”

"Are you fighting so hard now?" Li Yang asked without care.

Liu Gang said with a smile: "Campaigning, there are always many forces to compete, Gong Yue, the speaker of the parliament, is selfless." ”

Li Yang didn't take it to heart, what is the situation outside now, he doesn't care, human beings have entered a virtuous circle, plus the current state system, although it is not perfect, but there is a parliamentary supervision of politics and the army, coupled with a multi-party election mechanism, there will not be a situation where one person is dominant, do whatever he wants, only there is no autocracy, even if the country suffers, there is a chance to save, the current human race is not like twenty years ago, the current human race has been able to withstand several big mistakes, and the vitality has recovered.

Therefore, Li Yang is now looking at ease.

At this time, a football on the side of the football field was lifted, and Li Yang suddenly broke out, jumped six or seven meters high, kicked the ball back in the air, and kicked the ball back accurately.

"Your Majesty is more vigorous than when he was young."

"I'm nothing, Lian Yi is the master."

Li Yang pointed to the two boys running on the court, one was twenty years old and the other was sixteen years old, and said, "My two boys live an easier life than us." ”

"Isn't it the same with my family? A group of bastard boys flying eagles, a look of squirming, we crawled out of the pile of corpses, now it seems, it is also your foresight, even if the homeland is comfortable, every year in the south in the continuous offensive, exercise the army, although a year of casualties tens of thousands, but the compulsory military service system makes us have at least two million combat effectiveness of quite strong active troops, and tens of millions of retired veterans, even if there is really a large-scale war, we also have enough troops to deploy, will not be caught off guard. ”

Li Yang smiled and said, "Don't praise it. I also used the privileges, and Xiao Zhun didn't go to serve. ”

"Since the prince of a prince has never thought about engaging in the military, why should he force himself to go to the battlefield, there is a mistake, it is to hurt the country, Your Majesty is only two sons and three daughters so far, even if you count the Yongle princess, it is not too many pairs, the population is withering, and you should not serve in the military."

As soon as Li Yang heard Liu Gang Tinuo, he sighed and said: "When it comes to suffering, Li Yue's child, although he is only one year older than Xiao Ke, has been a soldier in the Pingkou Army for more than a year, and has fought a few tough battles, this kid is better than the two in my family." ”

Nuo Nuo married Wu Guangyu, the nephew of Wu Xiang, the former commander of Beiyuan Base City, eighteen years ago, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the male is called Li Yue, and the female is called Li Le, which is insisted on by Wu Xiang and Wu Guangyu, because in these years, the parliament has been restricting the authority of the royal family, except for Li Yang, other royal families have no absolute power, and it is stipulated that non-Li surnames are not allowed to enter the royal family genealogy, of course, Nuo Nuo is an exception, after all, the first generation of the royal family only has Li Yang and Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo's children were naturally incorporated into the royal family, and they didn't have to be surnamed Li, but the Wu family didn't care about insistence.

The royal family can also be in politics or the military, but the identity of the royal family can not only allow the children to be taken care of, but it is easy to be promoted, but at the same time, the identity of the royal family is destined not to become the highest power, and the three positions of speaker, prime minister, and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces are not allowed to be held by the royal family.

"It's good that the royal family is alive and well, Your Majesty has given everything for mankind, without Your Majesty, there would be no human beings, and the royal family will be born for generations, which is a matter of course."

Since the departure of the previous secretary general of the secretariat, Pan Zimei, and the chief of the guard, Barth, Li Yang has officially banned these two positions, and since then all the palace attendants have no longer taken accounts from the government, and every year the government has relied on the exclusive business group of the royal family to maintain daily use except for a special amount of money for the royal family's life, Li Yang has handed over all the power, and in the applause of everyone, he officially retreated from the big stage of mankind behind the scenes, and no longer cares about government affairs.

Moreover, Li Yang's economic lifeline, the logistics department has also been divided into two parts, one part has been merged into several other relevant departments, and the other part has been named the special logistics department, with few personnel, it is said that all of them are retired old officers of the logistics department and the mysterious department of the children's managers, in the eyes of the people, this is a pension department set up for some reason.

With the increasing number of places occupied by human beings over the years, the supply of materials has formed a virtuous circle, and the sense of existence of the exchange bracelet has become weaker and weaker, of course, at this time, it has been upgraded to the bottleneck of the exchange bracelet, which has been able to exchange the best weapons and equipment in the past, but those products of the information age, in this era when there is still no electricity, are useless, so the equipment used by human beings now relies on steam and pure mechanical force to maintain the level of science and technology at a level between the beginning of the twentieth century and the mid-twentieth century, which is already maintained by a kind of advanced thinking.

Of course, when the magic town and the first batch of young people born with magical powers have begun to go to school, Li Yang believes that maybe in the next hundred years, even if the earth still does not recover electricity, human beings will develop a civilization that perfectly combines magic and technology.

Those demons who can only do magic, and so far few people have not even learned human writing, and do not deliberately spread their learning, they are destined to fall behind humans more and more.

Li Yang and Liu Gang talked for a while, the two talked and laughed, the old people who followed Li Yang at the beginning, the old people who were old have passed away a lot, even if they are the same age as Li Yang, they are now fifty or sixty years old, and they have been in power for 20 years, and they have all relieved their responsibilities and handed over power to the new generation.

But not long after laughing, a woman stumbled in, followed by many maids and guards in the palace.

"Nuno, don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly!"

Behind these maids was Jia Lan'er chasing with a long skirt, and it could be seen that Nuo Nuo was looking for Li Yang all the way from the main gate.

"Brother! Brother! Save Yue'er, save Yue'er! ”

"What's wrong with Yue'er? Isn't he a soldier and going south with the army? ”

Li Yang hurriedly supported Nuo Nuo, who was about to kneel, and when he finished saying this, his face changed.

Sure enough, at this time, the herald dressed in black crows in the sky, who was specially transmitted, flew straight in front of Li Yang.

"Report to Your Majesty, I just got the news that our army had a large-scale battle with the enemy in the Nanhua area, our army was ambushed by no less than fifteen tribes of the enemy, and suffered heavy casualties, the Baode Army, the Pingkou Army, the Fengyan Army, and the Black Wind Army were heavily damaged, and fled thousands of miles south, and finally arrived in Ruiping City to be received by the Qiping Army, with only more than 40,000 people left."

"What!"

Li Yang and Liu Gang were stunned, the four full field army combatants were no less than 300,000, and 300,000 were almost wiped out!

Li Yang crushed the stone pillar on the side: "It seems that the demon clan can't bear it and wants to fight us." ”
