Time flies, and three years are passed in the blink of an eye.

That is, - the Great Xia calendar, the twelfth year of Shenwu.

Three years have passed, and although a large-scale war has not yet broken out in the Nine Domains Continent, the unknown secret is already turbulent.

And these three years have also given the Great Xia Dynasty an excellent opportunity to rise, taking advantage of this rare window of peace, Great Xia has made great gains or made great progress in many aspects.

June 6, the Great Xia Palace, Zhonghe Palace.

At this moment, the heads of cultural relics at the top of Great Xia gathered and were reporting to Xia Ao the harvest of the past three years.

The picture zoomed in, and as Xun Yu, the secretary of the ministry, retreated, Du Ruyan, the secretary of the household department, took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, with the Four Seasons Commercial Bank and the Eight Desolations Chamber of Commerce reaching a comprehensive strategic cooperation three years ago, the tariff revenue of my Great Xia has continued to skyrocket, and it has become an extremely important part of the treasury tax."

"In the eighth year of Shenwu, the total tax revenue of our dynasty was three billion inferior yuanshi; And last year, that is, in the eleventh year of Shenwu, the tax paid by our dynasty reached an astonishing 8 billion! If it is converted into dragon banknotes, it is 800 billion! ”

"In the first half of this year, according to rough statistics, China's tax revenue also reached nearly 5 billion, which is an extremely good start."

Du Ruyan said loudly, his tone was full of pride, and the others were also in high spirits when they listened.

"But this is only the income of the official, such as the income submitted by Baixiao Pavilion, the Blue Dragon Club, Tsing Yi Lou and other organizations related industries, and it has not yet been counted."

"Especially Baixiao Pavilion, this is a real cornucopia. If we compare it with the net tax income after excluding the expenditure of the state treasury, the income of Baixiao Pavilion is even more! ”

"It is precisely by relying on the incomparably huge wealth as a strong support that all walks of life and various initiatives in my Daxia can flourish and grow rapidly!"

"Even so, as of now, my Great Xia Treasury has accumulated a massive wealth of 15 billion inferior Yuan Stones!"

Listening to Du Ruhui's report, Xia Ao smiled.

In fact, this is only the income of the national treasury, with the growing cornucopia of the Four Seasons Trading Bank, his inner money has also accumulated unimaginable wealth!

Even if it was only supplied with domestic money, it would be enough to support the Great Xia war that lasted for several years!

All in all, he doesn't have to worry about wealth in the future.

As Du Ruhui returned to the train, Guo Jia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up.

"Your Majesty, since the Black Dragon Garden successfully delivered the first batch of Jiaolong warships at the end of the ninth year of Shenwu, the Jiaolong Army has quietly inserted the banner of my Great Xia into the Sea of Guiming!"

"For more than two years, the Jiaolong Fleet has not only brought a steady stream of nourishment to the purification pool, but also successfully locked the base camp of the Sea Elf Clan at the bottom of the Guiming Sea a year ago, and successfully pulled out this big hand hidden in the dark!"

"In addition, in the past year, the Jiaolong fleet has gradually figured out most of the semi-secret camps of the Sea Elf Clan and locked their locations."

"It's a pity that the current warships of the Jiaolong fleet are still mainly small warships, and they can't send enough troops to wipe them out!"

Xia Ao bowed slightly, indicating understanding.

If the secret of the Sea Elves hiding at the bottom of the Sea of Guiming is revealed, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.

After all, the Sea of Returning is a well-known forbidden place for living beings, and it would be impossible to say that a group of people live in it?

However, the truth is often unexpected, and the Sea Elves do indeed live there, which is something that the Jiaolong Fleet has thoroughly confirmed since a year ago.

Of course, the sea elves did not live directly in the turbid waters of the secret cloth, but lived in the secret realm of the seabed and under the water-sheltering barrier.

Through the careful investigation of the Jiaolong fleet and the strong people of Great Xia, the number of Sea Elf clansmen should be very limited, estimated to be between one million and ten million.

However, the overall strength of the Sea Elf Clan is quite strong, and there are not a few strong people among them, and there is no shortage of top powerhouses of this level like the Consummation Supreme.

Of course, Daxia may not be afraid of the other party.

Because there is a purification pool, there are filthy utensils, Yuan Crystals, Ancient things, etc., which are constantly produced from the Guiming Sea, and Great Xia has a steady supply of Yuan Qi essence.

Three years have passed, and the strength of the top powerhouses and middle- and upper-level powerhouses in Great Xia has made great progress.

Among them, there are as many as seven great supremes in the ninety and above the spiritual body realm.

And the Perfection Supreme of the Spirit Body Realm of eighty-one and above has also reached more than thirty people.

As for the little supreme beings with more than seventy levels of spiritual body realm, the number has reached one or two hundred!

In addition, the high-level combat power of the Spirit Body Realm, between fifty and seventy, is about to approach the number of thousands!

With such a background, even compared with several dominant-level forces, it is not much worse!

As for Xia Ao himself, his cultivation had also reached the true body realm of two hundred and forty-five levels.

The True Body Realm is two hundred and forty-five, which is equivalent to the combat power of the Spirit Body Realm of more than thirty levels, which sounds very ordinary.

But don't forget, Xia Ao's horror lies in his ability to possess the land of the imperial capital and his strength can be increased to a large level!

In other words, his current true strength is the terrifying Spirit Body Realm of two hundred and forty-five, not the True Body Realm!

With such strength, looking at the entire continent, which one can he be afraid of?

Of course, if he left the imperial capital, he could still face the risk of death at any time, and this was the fundamental reason why Xia Ao had never taken a step out of the imperial capital since the return of the Tiannan Region.

Although everyone in the world now knows that his cultivation is extremely terrifying, under normal circumstances, no one should dare to run to assassinate him.

But as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case an old thing pops up when he goes out on a cruise, wouldn't it be bad?

If this is an ordinary old thing, it would be fine, with Zhang Sanfeng and other great supremes, it may not be impossible to protect his safety.

But what if a sleeper escapes? Something is going to happen!

Therefore, in the case that he does not have enough strength to suppress all strong enemies, Xia Ao resolutely refuses to take half a step out of the imperial capital, he will not risk his life, because that is meaningless, it will only bury all this he has gained!

"The Sea Elves don't rush to move this move, and leave them to make trouble, maybe it's more beneficial for us, and ignore them for now."

Hearing Xia Ao's decision, Guo Jia nodded.

"Yes!"

When Guo Jia returned, Wei Zhongxian, the commander of the East Factory, came out.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the dark line, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty has made sufficient preparations, and the Ancient Emperor has also made up his mind, and convened his confidants and generals to discuss secretly the night before. Although the dark line has not been able to find out the specific details, it is certain that the Desolate Ancient Emperor Dynasty will send troops in the near future to attack the Mangxi Dynasty and Tianying Sect! ”

Hearing this, everyone was in high spirits.

There are four forces in the Heavenly Desolate Domain, in addition to the dominant force of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty and the superior force of the Haoyuan Dynasty, there are also the Mangxi Dynasty and the Tianying Sect.

These two forces are also superior forces, but their background is much worse than that of the Haoyuan Dynasty, and they are considered to be the lowest category among the superior forces.

The three forces of Haoyuan, Tianyingzong, and Mangxi were all located in the west of the Huanggu Imperial Dynasty, of which the Haoyuan Dynasty was in the south, Tianyingzong was in the middle, and the Mangxi Dynasty was in the north.

For thousands of years, the reason why these three forces have survived safely is precisely because they have been watching and helping each other and working together to resist the coercion of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty.

Although with the strength of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, if it is ruthless, it may not be able to take down these three parties at the same time, but perhaps it is because of the movements of other forces, so it does not dare to act for a long time.

But through the battle of Haoyuan, the Huanggu Emperor Dynasty saw the filthiness between the three parties, and also saw the opportunity.

Eight months ago, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty secretly made trouble, and used the deaths of a few people to further expand the rift between the three parties, in order to probably take down the Mangxi Dynasty and Tianyingzong in the shortest possible time, and not let the Haoyuan Dynasty get involved.

When the two sides are taken down, it will be much easier for the Ancient Emperor Dynasty to clean up the Haoyuan Dynasty.

Of course, now that Great Xia is staring at the south, the Ancient Emperor may not dare to move Haoyuan.

After Wei Zhongxian left everyone with a period of time to digest, he opened his mouth again.

"In addition, the Cangying Emperor Dynasty also made some moves, and it should have been aware of the intentions of the Desolate Emperor Dynasty and was quietly preparing. It's just that it is impossible to judge what their purpose is, whether it is the Cangying Emperor Dynasty or not. ”

Xia Ao's eyes flashed slightly, and he chuckled: "The Cangying Emperor Dynasty is indeed calm enough, but if the Desolate Ancient Emperor Dynasty moves now, then the opportunity they have been waiting for should also come." ”

"The collision between the emperors and dynasties is not so early, the Emperor of the Cangying is not stupid, in my opinion, his target should be the Tiandong Region."

"If you can win the Tiandong Domain, even if it is only half, it is enough to make the foundation of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty to a higher level, and the pace of development can also be greatly ahead of the other dominant-level forces, so that it can seize the advantageous high ground in the grand plan to dominate the world!"

After the words fell, Xia Ao turned his eyes to look at Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"What's going on on in the Haoyuan Dynasty?"

Lu Bing perked up and hurried out.

"Back to Your Majesty, Sun Tiecheng, the ninth hall master of the Blue Dragon Society, has taken advantage of many important opportunities to gain a firm foothold in Qingyunwei, and now he is the deputy guard master, and he has won the trust of the guard lord Qiao Xu, and he has also entered Yuan Shimao's sight, and Yuan Shimao also favors him."

"As for General Haoyuan Mo Gang, the matter of rebellion against him has also reached a critical juncture. Although Mo Gang has not yet nodded, the minister is confident that as long as he gives the minister some more time, the minister will definitely let people convince him! ”

Hearing Lu Bing's answer, Xia Ao bowed his head in satisfaction.

Haoyuan Emperor Yuan Shimao was a straw bag, and Xia Ao was not much interested in using troops against the Haoyuan Dynasty.

Coupled with some coincidences and the arrangements of various ministries and divisions of Great Xia on Haoyuan, Xia Ao had the idea of directly controlling Haoyuan and letting him mutiny in order to easily annex it.

Now, it seems, is going unexpectedly well.

Mo Gang's prestige in the Haoyuan military circle is undoubted, as long as Mo Gang is willing to surrender, and Sun Tiecheng is the internal response, plus the relevant arrangements of the Qinglong Society, Tsing Yi Building, Four Seasons Commercial Bank, Factory Guard and other organizations in Haoyuan, it is not very difficult to annex it without blood.
