Chapter 10: Frustration

The territory of the Ling Tian Great Empire has expanded nearly a hundred times, and there is a serious lack of talent for governing the country, and the high-end combat power has also begun to be insufficient.

The current Ji Fu has refined a large number of thunderbolts for the empire, and originally planned to annex the ten kingdoms in one go, clear the obstacles, and capture the hundreds of great empires attached to these ten countries, but only annexed the six empires and more than 200 of their dependent countries, all of which are vast and rich in resources.

Although the territory continued to expand hundreds of times, the territories formed after the annexation were all powerful countries, and their high-end combat power was strong, which made Chu Lingtian feel overstretched and frustrated, so he recruited Ji Xiaoyan into the palace.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what is the best plan?"

"The power of the whole country has annexed the Great Empire of the Blue Wolf like lightning, which made the neighboring countries tremble and fear, and issued a national statement that those who do not support the Great Empire of the Blue Wolf will pay one percent of the annual harvest every year to avoid the pain of annexation. ”

He continued: "The next strategy is to build a national wall on the border and try to recuperate. ”

"I'll send the national language immediately. ”

"After this plan, the empire enters recuperation, otherwise it is easy to be attacked by a group. ”

Five days later, the Blue Wolf Great Empire only had the support of the Canglan Great Empire, and the Ling Tian Great Empire did not forcibly annex the two countries and their dependent states, and the territory expanded more than seven times, at this time, the Ling Tian Great Empire had expanded to the limit, and it was all maintained by deterrence without collapse.

This battle was thrilling, almost Ling Tian's great country collapsed, and died on the way to annexation, Chu Lingtian was afraid, began to reflect, and actively established checkpoints in important positions, built small cities and immigrants, and cleared the restoration of the National League within the empire, the men were executed, the women were rewarded ministers, and people of insight were absorbed, and they worked hard.

After a comprehensive survey of the empire, Chu Lingtian found that the population had decreased by nearly half, there was a serious shortage of men, many families were full of female babies, and a large number of fields were uncultivated, so he encouraged childbearing, and women had to marry before the age of thirteen, otherwise the tax would be increased by three times, and the people were encouraged to domesticate horses, and the empire would purchase them uniformly.

After more than a year of expansion, the treasury was empty, unable to build canals and roads, the canals were impassable, the roads collapsed, and after the tributes of neighboring countries arrived, the treasury had gold coins and began to build roads and canals.

The empire that had just been annexed, the people's hearts were not gathered, and there were riots from time to time, so that those with bad intentions saw the opportunity to fan the flames, that is, there was a tendency to set the prairie on fire, Chu Lingtian suppressed on the one hand, reduced taxes on the other hand, and remeasured the land, and distributed arable land according to the person.

After the tributes from neighboring countries were sent to Ji's mansion, Ji Xiaoyan began to get busy, refining pills day and night, and a large number of pills were sent to the treasury and converted into gold coins for repairing canals and roads.

The empire unified the recruitment of migrant workers, blacksmiths, and carpenters at the highest wages to restore the damaged houses caused by the war, and built more than enough checkpoints, so that the emperor had something to do.

After a series of measures were implemented, there were fewer riots and the people began to gather, but the population recovered slowly.

So Chu Lingtian began to borrow money from neighboring countries, and the neighboring countries were afraid that the Ling Tian Great Empire would send troops in anger and merge with it, so they didn't dare not borrow it, and a large amount of resources were sent to the imperial capital to be converted into gold coins, which further accelerated the recovery of the empire.

The people's livelihood has been solved, and the monks of the empire have also benefited, because a large number of pills and spiritual weapons have flowed into their hands, the cultivation speed has increased, and the empire is recovering rapidly.

Ji Xiaoyan after a busy period, sitting on the grassy slope, under the blue sky and white clouds, the vast grassland, the endless emerald green made him feel refreshed, lying on the grassy slope and falling asleep, when he woke up, it was already sunset, the tip of the nose came with a burst of fragrance, with the freshness of the grass and trees, it smelled very good, stretched his body, and his arms uploaded a soft touch, Ji Xiaoyan was a battle-hardened person, and instantly understood, turned his head to look, there was a girl lying around him, he had not seen it, he should be a newcomer, wearing an orchid skirt, curvaceous curves, pink skin, delicate nose, long eyelashes, willow leaves and thin eyebrows, red lips, mouthwatering。

The eyelashes fluttered, Chu Xinuo felt a masculine breath rushing to his face, and quickly raised his jade hand in surprise and pushed it, pressing it on Ji Xiaoyan's chest, and hurriedly opened his eyes to see that it was Ji Xiaoyan: "Brother Yan is awake!"

"When did you get here?"

"I have been here with Sister Xiwen for a long time. ”

"This time you have captured the empires such as Blue Wolf and Canglan, how many of your sisters have come in?"

"There are more than 10,000 princesses, more than 3 million members of the royal family, the population of the empire has decreased sharply by nearly half after the war, especially men, in order to increase the population, new measures have been implemented to increase the population tax by three times if women over the age of thirteen are not married, and we are all over thirteen have to marry as soon as possible, the father said, Princess Xixi has been married to you for more than two years, and she is pregnant with her fourth child, your production is high, rather than marrying outside, it is better to marry you all and increase the population of the empire. ”

"Then let's not waste time and contribute to the increase in the population of the empire now. ”

There were bursts of sighs on the grassy slope, two screams of pain pierced the quiet grassland under the blue sky and white clouds, and the young shoots broke out of the fertile ground, swearing that spring had arrived.

The resources borrowed from the neighboring countries were continuously sent to the Danqi Wang Ji Mansion, tens of millions of people performed their duties, and batches of Dan Weapons were sent, and no one in the Ling Tian Empire did not know the name of the Dan Weapon King Ji Mansion, and even the high-level officials of the neighboring countries also heard that Thunderbolt Van Lei might be out of the Ji Mansion, and sent a large number of spies to the Ling Tian Great Empire to inquire, almost all the spies failed to break through the Guanxia and were stopped by the defenders, and only a small number of people mixed in.

After Ji Xiaoyan knew about this, he remembered what Luo Ke said about the destruction of the Jijiabao in the spiritual domain, and felt uneasy, and decided to strengthen and strengthen the entire Danqi Wang Jifu, completely conceal it, and even unload the brand of the Danqi Wangji Mansion and hang it on the newly built pseudo-palace in front, decorating the Qianfu of the Danqi Wangji Mansion, the spies of the neighboring countries and the world, and deal with the derivation of the puppet palace and the real palace, fame is a double-edged sword, the bigger it is, the more restrained it must be, otherwise it will not be far from extinction, the Houfu is built with a lot of money, and it is Ji Xiaoyan's retreat.

However, Chu Lingtian's worries and pressure are even greater, he must prevent the entry of the spies of the leading country, once the neighboring countries know that the foreign power of the Lingtian Great Emperor will have a big incident, so he frequently uses the spies he catches to threaten the neighbors to lose money, otherwise they will start a war, the neighbors can't bear the pressure, and they lose money one after another, and the Ling Tian Great Empire gets a chance to breathe, and the people's hearts begin to gather, and the centralized system is implemented in the country, weakening the local power, and firmly controlling the newly annexed imperial power, especially the former imperial capital of the former Great Empire, which is divided into several cities and controlled by the royal family。

In the eyes of the world, the Danqi Wang Jifu is the pseudo-palace in front of the mansion, the traffic in front of the mansion is busy, a jade hand holding a sword, cold as frost, a look of no one to approach the door of the Danqi Palace, the guests retreated, came to the door of the mansion and stopped, and said coldly to the guard Nangong Bei: "Jijiabao Shuqing, ask Ji Xiaoyan to come out to see me." ”

Nangong Bei is also a national beauty, and she is deeply favored by Ji Xiaoyan, she has given birth to four children for Ji Xiaoyan, and now she is pregnant again, she has her own pride and said coldly: "If you want gold coins to go to the team first." ”
