In fact, it doesn't matter who the emperor is on the throne for ordinary people.As long as they can be guaranteed to live and work in peace and contentment, and there is some room for improvement, this is enough.Even if you don't change an emperor for hundreds of years, it's no problem.This was the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Under the governance of that empress, the Great Zhou Dynasty became stronger and stronger every year than the previous year, and both the living standards of the people and the level of martial arts were rising.It is now the three hundred and seventy-first years of Zhifeng, and the Great Zhou is still developing rapidly.The whole country is like a wave rushing into the sea, constantly moving forward, as if it will never stop.Compared with two hundred years ago, the current Great Zhou Dynasty has gained too much improvement.The first is the size of the country.Today's Great Zhou Dynasty has occupied more than half of the land of the Tianxu Realm, from the mountains to the plains, from the land to the sea, all of which are the territory of the Great Zhou.In the entire Heavenly Ruins Realm, there was only one Great Xia Kingdom that could barely match it.However, the Great Xia Kingdom only occupied a little more than thirty percent of the land in the Tianxu Realm, which was only a little more than half of the Great Zhou in terms of volume.As for the remaining land, there are hundreds of small countries, as a buffer zone between the two countries of Great Xia and Great Zhou, reducing the border line between the two superpowers, because the two countries of Great Xia and Great Zhou are quite related, there will hardly be any serious contradictions and conflicts, and the two countries have their own means of domestic governance, which can ensure internal and external harmony.As a result, in the past two hundred years, it can be the most stable period in the history of the Heavenly Ruins Realm, and there have been almost no major wars and conflicts.If it weren't for the fact that the 100 or so small countries often fought against each other because of a little petty profit, it is estimated that ordinary people would not have the concept of war in their cognition.Then there is the number of people and the overall level of martial arts.Now in the Great Zhou, the registered population has exceeded 15 billion, and martial arts education has been popularized, as long as they are adults, they can reach the innate realm.If you are more motivated, you can reach the inner scene and even the divine realm.Among them, the best can become human immortals, earth immortals, even if it is the unattainable realm of heavenly beings, heavenly immortals, and heavenly monarchs three hundred years ago, there are often ordinary people who break through all this, which seems to mean that the Great Zhou will become stronger and stronger, and will go from one greatness to another, and will be strong forever.But many people of insight have seen the hidden crisis under this kind of strength.And it's a great crisis!
The rapid expansion of the population, as well as the serious shortage of land in the future, is not only a crisis in Great Xia or Great Zhou, but also a crisis in the entire Heavenly Ruins Realm.The people of the Growth Heavenly Realm have lived in a stable and prosperous environment for a long time, and their vision for raising offspring is very high, and the improvement of the overall Dao level has also brought about a large life expectancy, and an ordinary couple will probably have four or five children, or even more.This caused the population within the Heavenly Ruins Realm to swell at an extremely fast rate.The land is still enough, but in another 100, 200, or even 500, 1,000 years.
Not necessarily.In the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the empress is in the dormitory.Li Wei wore a bright red official uniform, hurriedly came here, and then saluted very respectfully: "Minister Li Wei, please meet Your Majesty." ”Now that she has already recovered her cultivation, she has taken a step closer to her, successfully returning all laws to one, and stepping into the realm of the Sage.Although Li Wei is now more than 1,000 years old, her face is still young and beautiful.It's just that in order to be the ruler of the court, she no longer looks like a girl, but is slightly mature, and looks like she is in her twenties.Above the court of the Great Zhou, Li Wei is also Li Mingqiong's right-hand man.In the past 130 years, the position of prime minister has been Li Wei's position, and many specific decrees have been implemented by her.In fact, she is already one of the most powerful people in the Great Zhou Dynasty except for Li Mingqiong.However, Li Wei herself has always been very clear about her position.She knew very well that she was just a close attendant of Her Majesty the Empress, and her purpose was to behave well and strive to be taught by Her Majesty the cultivation method that did not require the true nature of immortality.By no means a powerful minister.It is impossible to become the person who really holds the authority of the country, and Li Mingqiong, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has occupied an extremely important position in Li Wei's heart.She will do her best to assist and make Da Zhou even greater."
Hmm."
Li Mingqiong's slightly lazy voice sounded from behind the screen.Immediately, I saw her walking out in a moon-white silk nightgown.As a king of all saints, the passage of two hundred years has not had any impact on her appearance, and she is still beautiful and beautiful.Of course, the king of all saints, just an estimate.In fact, she didn't know exactly what kind of situation she was in at the moment.With the prosperity of the Great Zhou, Li Mingqiong's cultivation on the road of national fortune is also constantly improving.Under the warmth of the power of national fortune, the Divine Soul Jin Dan already possessed an extremely strong rationality, and her mud pill palace even turned into a sea of gold.In terms of strength, it is even more powerful, and a single thought can annihilate thousands of Infinite Golden Immortals on the spot.And, due to the particularity of the way of national fortune, she can appear anywhere in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom at any time.In a way, this can even be called "ubiquitous".Your Majesty, the statistics of the population and the proportion of the land that you have ordered have been done. ”Li Wei took out a jade slip very respectfully, held it in both hands and presented it to Li Mingqiong."
Well done."
Li Mingqiong smiled and gently bowed her head and then raised her hand lightly, and the piece of jade fell into her palm.Seeing the brilliance circulating above, she quickly finished reading the information inside, and a pair of willow eyebrows immediately wrinkled."
The Heavenly Ruins Realm is still too small."
Li Mingqiong sighed softly and said, "If we can't make a breakthrough in land and population, in another hundred years, I am afraid it will be difficult for my cultivation to refine the core of the way of national fortune is the strength of the national strength."
National strength is mainly affected by three points: land area, domestic population, and domestic martial arts level.In the past two hundred years, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has developed rapidly, and Li Mingqiong's cultivation realm has naturally soared, and the growth of her cultivation realm can also feed back to the country, so that domestic martial artists can cultivate with half the effort, thereby further enhancing the country's martial arts level.It's a very virtuous cycle.However, there is a limit to this mutually reinforcing cycle, and with her current cultivation realm, at most, it will make the cultivation below the Xuan Immortal more rapid.When he reached the Xuan Immortal level, his cultivation speed would naturally become slow.This will cause the vast majority of the people to stay in the realm below the Xuan Immortals, who are the main source of national strength.However, if there is no new population for a long time, there will be no new celestials, immortals, and celestial monarchs, and the growth of national strength will become extremely difficult.According to the results of the investigation submitted by Li Wei, in another hundred years, this situation will appear.The core problem is that the country is not large enough to support such a large number of people.At that time, Li Mingqiong's realm cultivation will almost come to a standstill."
Your Majesty, is it possible to swallow the Nether?"
Li Wei suggested that this was the only way she could think of.The land in the Tianxu Realm is limited, and the Great Xia next door was created by the descendants of the disciples of the Immortal Venerable, so it is impossible for the Great Zhou to encroach on its land, and the Dao Zhou Star of the Nether Realm is undoubtedly the best choice.If the people are responsible for extending the land to the Nether, this is a sign of "leaving?"
”Li Wei was a little surprised when she heard this.Li Mingqiong said in a deep voice, "At least a hundred years, at most two hundred years, I should have a breakthrough, and then my cultivation should be in response" However, at that time, I should be able to use my supernatural powers, gather the power of national fortune, and take the entire Great Zhou with me, so that I can step into the starry sky and follow the footsteps of my master."
Take the entire Great Zhou with you?!"
Li Weimei's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "What a great power this is, Your Majesty, what realm are you?""
I don't know."
Li Mingqiong shook his head lightly and sighed, "I'm afraid I won't know the road ahead until I see Shizun." ”In fact, she has also tried to explore the path ahead on her own, but in the absence of effective references, it is too difficult to find a path on her own.In particular, he is still exploring a path higher than his own realm.It's almost impossible to accomplish.Seeing Li Mingqiong's sorrow, Li Wei hurriedly said, "Is there anything that can help Your Majesty?"
”"You can't help much."
Li Mingqiong shook his head and said with a smile, "I can only work my own cultivation matters.; Or ask...
At this point, she suddenly paused, stared at the northeast with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Crossing the passage, the cross-border passage between the Heavenly Ruins Realm and Dao Zhouxing has been opened" Cross-border passage?!"
”Li Wei said in surprise, "Isn't it time for the two to meet, how can there be a cross-border passage here She was also stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.The Heavenly Ruins Realm is essentially a different dimension outside the Dao Zhou Star, and it is not connected to the Dao Zhou Star all the time.There is only one brief period of convergence every hundred years.Now that this period of convergence has passed, it should not be possible to establish a channel between the two.Unless it is a great supernatural power, the two are forcibly connected.And there is only one person with such great magical powers in her cognition."
Is it Immortal Venerable?"
Li Wei said in surprise."
It should be the master, it should be the master!"
Li Mingqiong was also excited.Immediately, her figure flickered, and the silk nightgown on her body instantly turned into a proper dress."
Come with me to meet the Master.Cui Heng descended into the Heavenly Ruins Realm and did not deliberately hide his aura.As long as Li Mingqiong's cultivation of the way of national fortune does not fall behind, he should directly perceive his arrival.Therefore, as soon as he landed, he saw two rays of light flying from the southwest, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of him.Li Mingqiong was the first to appear from the light, and bowed respectfully in front of Cui Heng, "Disciple to meet Master!"
”Li Wei followed closely behind, and also saluted very respectfully: "Meet Immortal Venerable!"
