I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
Lin Beifan got up and walked over, sitting next to Consort Xiang, with one arm around her slender waist, sipping tea and laughing: “What are you all chatting about that’s making you so happy? Currently, we have 962 first-rate experts, 4200 second-rate experts, and third-rate experts…”“In terms of territory, since the Hengduan Mountain Range was opened, our troops have marched southward, conquering seven great kingdoms and opening up more than 5 million square li of land, striking awe into the so...
This news quickly made its way back to the Great Xia imperial court.
Lin Beifan was somewhat dumbfounded, having not expected the Great Hong Dynasty to collapse so quickly!
Look at how resilient the Great Luo Dynasty is, despite the many natural and man-made disasters he caused, it is still clinging to life.
But the Great Hong Dynasty was bullied by masters from two countries in turn.
The imperial palace was destroyed, the experts were killed twice, and the Great Hong Emperor was beaten up twice, losing all dignity.
Although it still possessed the power of a dynasty, it was no longer as formidable as before.
“A dynasty without the support of a Grandmaster is really not a dynasty!
”Lin Beifan said, looking at the map in front of him, marked with the words “Great Hong,” and chuckled: “By next spring, it will be the season of harvest!
But for now… let’s first enjoy life and have fun!
”He looked up to see Consort Xiang, Consort Chu, Consort Xin, Consort Yue, Bai Zhu, and other women.
They were as beautiful as flowers, sitting around a stove brewing tea, chatting and laughing merrily, filling the study with a fragrant scent.
Seeing this, Lin Beifan’s mood greatly improved.
Isn’t this every man’s greatest dream?
To hold the world’s power when awake, to lie in the lap of beauties when drunk; he had achieved it all!
“Your Majesty, the tea is ready!
” Consort Xiang turned around with a charming smile.
Lin Beifan got up and walked over, sitting next to Consort Xiang, with one arm around her slender waist, sipping tea and laughing: “What are you all chatting about that’s making you so happy?
”“Actually, we weren’t talking about much…”Consort Xiang said with a giggle while covering her mouth: “Mainly, we sisters have been in the imperial palace for so long we’ve grown curious about the outside world and would like to see the vast landscapes of Great Xia!
I wonder if Your Majesty would grant us this wish?
”Consort Chu, always straightforward, immediately added: “Your Majesty, you should also get out and about.
You can’t stay cooped up in the imperial palace all the time, it could make you sick!
How about we go on a trip to enjoy the mountains and waters next spring or summer?
”After saying this, all the women looked at Lin Beifan expectantly.
Realizing their hopeful gazes, Lin Beifan felt a bit ashamed.
He could see all the outside scenery through the Empire Sandbox, so he wasn’t very keen on going out, but the women didn’t have this ability and had been stuck in the imperial palace for so long—who could stand it?
Take Consort Xiang, for example; she had always been with him in the capital city for three years without any complaints.
And the other women had been here for no short time either.
Lin Beifan loudly promised: “Okay!
We will go out to enjoy the mountains and waters next spring or summer, and we won’t return until we’ve had fun for three or four months!
”“Three or four months, isn’t that too long?
What if it delays state affairs…” The women started to worry.
Although they wanted to go out and have fun, they still prioritized the interests of the state.
“Your Majesty, half a month would be enough.
We don’t need that much time…” Consort Xin said softly.
Lin Beifan shook his head and laughed: “Don’t worry, the court is running smoothly now, the country is peaceful, and all is well.
Whether I am here or not makes no difference!
And even if there is a problem, there’s no need to worry…”Lin Beifan said proudly: “I started from humble beginnings, endured hardships, and in just three years, I built this prosperous empire!
So, I can handle it no matter what the issue is!
”“Your Majesty!
” The women looked at Lin Beifan with admiration and infatuation.
Their husband was indeed the most wise and valiant emperor in the world.
To marry such a man, they had no regrets in this life!
After making up his mind, Lin Beifan immediately ordered preparations to begin.
An Emperor going on a tour was no small matter.
The entire court was stirred into action.
A dedicated team was quickly established to discuss the travel route, as well as arrangements for food, drink, and security along the way.
Everything had to be meticulously planned to avoid any mistakes.
At this time, the end of the year was approaching, and it was time for annual summaries.
One by one, officials came to report their work for the year to Lin Beifan.
First was the Minister of War, Cao Cao.
“Your Majesty, this year, our ministry has recruited a total of 2.
2 million soldiers, bringing our national military strength to 6 million!
Since our nation has been promoted to an Empire, we have attracted experts from all over!
Currently, we have 962 first-rate experts, 4200 second-rate experts, and third-rate experts…”“In terms of territory, since the Hengduan Mountain Range was opened, our troops have marched southward, conquering seven great kingdoms and opening up more than 5 million square li of land, striking awe into the southern nations…”Next was the Minister of Rites, Li Linfu.
“Your Majesty, although we only held one imperial examination this year and recruited 100 talented individuals, we have seen an increase in the number of teachers, with an addition of more than 3000, reaching a total of 71,000!
We have also introduced 10 Graded Teachers, who have become role models for teachers nationwide and have completely revitalized the atmosphere in our schools!
Additionally, there has been a significant increase in the number of students enrolling in schools this year, with an increase of 150,000, bringing the total number of students to 650,000…”One after another, they reported until the last person, Heshen.
Heshen was responsible for the most work, but he was also the one who performed the best.
He reported, “Your Majesty, under your wise leadership this year, our nation has established an Empire, awe-inspiring in all directions!
All our work has been vigorously advanced, astonishing the whole world!
”“In terms of national treasury income, we have exceeded 300 million taels of silver, reaching an astonishing 360 million taels!
This income places us on par with the four top-tier Empires!
”“In terms of population, thanks to various measures, our total population has reached 130 million!
This number places us in the upper-middle level among the Empires!
”“In agriculture, we currently have more than 15 million farmers who have reclaimed nearly 4.
5 million square li of land for crops!
Therefore, our grain production has made a huge breakthrough this year, reaching ×× catties, enough to feed 120 million people!
With last year’s surplus, feeding 140 million people is no problem at all!
”“In housing construction, we have built a total of 8 million cement houses this year, an increase of about 60% over last year!
Currently, our nation has 14.
5 million cement houses, solving the housing problem for nearly 50 million people!
”“In terms of mining, the total value of the mineral resources we have mined this year has reached 50 million taels of silver…”“In road and bridge construction, we have also achieved very pleasing results!
In the cities north of the Hengduan Mountain Range, nearly 60% are now connected by cement roads, and we hope to connect everything within the next year!
The roads south of the Hengduan Mountain Range have already begun construction, with the goal of completing them all within three years…”“In the textile industry, there are now 25 million women participating in labor, with a labor participation rate of 40%!
The cloth produced is enough to supply the entire nation!
”“In shipbuilding…”Each of these achievements was astounding!
Even the four top-tier Empires could not match such accomplishments!
To be born in such a nation was a matter of great pride!
Lin Beifan, pleased after hearing the reports, said, “Ministers, you have all worked hard!
It is with your efforts that our Great Xia continues to thrive and become one of the foremost Empires!
”“All credit goes to Your Majesty, your humble servant dares not claim any merit!
” the officials said with trepidation.
“Publish these achievements so that the people can share in the joy!
” Lin Beifan commanded.
“Yes, Your Majesty!
” the crowd responded in unison.
Afterward, Lin Beifan generously rewarded the meritorious officials and set tasks for the coming year.
The tasks were largely the same: to plant more crops, build more houses, mine more resources, recruit more soldiers…To make the citizens wealthier and the nation stronger.
A few days passed, and the New Year approached.
As in previous years, Lin Beifan announced a 15-day national holiday for everyone to rest well.
Then came the Grand Court Meeting, the Banquet of Ultimate Bliss…It was not much different from previous years, just more luxurious.
In fact, nothing is more of a blessing than a stable nation without any sudden calamities for the common people.
