22 million (7 Grandmasters, 99 Innates, 37,200 martial artists)Comprehensive National Power: 36,500 (Quasi-Celestial Empire level)…….
It has been three months since the comprehensive national power broke through the 30,000 mark.
During these three months, pleasant changes have occurred.
The Territorial Area, Domestic Resources, and Population haven’t changed much.
However, the population structure has significantly improved, with Common people now making up 50%.
It’s worth noting that the population of Great Xia has already reached 250 million.
A 50% proportion of Common people means that 125 million people have been lifted out of poverty and are now living a life free from the worries of food and clothing.
Even the four top-tier Empires can’t achieve such a feat.
Their total population might be more than that of Great Xia, but they definitely can’t surpass Xia in the number of Common people.
“There are still over a hundred million Poor people left.
I aim to reduce that number by half next year, enabling over 75% of the population to rise out of poverty!
” Lin Beifan nodded, setting a modest goal for himself.
In terms of Military Strength, while the total number hasn’t changed much, the quality has significantly improved.
With the addition of three more Grandmasters, the number of Grandmasters has now exceeded five.
Twenty more Innates were added, bringing the number close to 100.
Also, the number of acquired martial artists has increased by several thousand.
And the number of Acquired Realm martial artists has increased by several thousand.
Frankly speaking, Great Xia is now not inferior to the top four Empires in terms of Military Strength.
The only thing lacking is a Great Grandmaster, but that gap has been temporarily filled by the Xuanxiao Divine Sword.
The battle where the Xuanxiao Divine Sword pursued the leader of the Green Garment Tower has already become famous far and wide.
As a result, many people have recognized Great Xia as the eighth major power of the world, bestowing upon it the title of a top-tier Empire.
“One step closer to becoming a Celestial Empire!
Strive to establish the Celestial Empire next year and make its fame known in all directions!
” A hint of ambition flickered in Lin Beifan’s heart.
The end of the year was fast approaching, and officials were reporting on their work over the past year.
Overall, it has been another year of bountiful harvest.
Whether it’s the size of the territory, population, Military Strength, or national treasury income, all have seen explosive growth, marking its promotion from an ordinary Empire to a top-tier Empire.
Lin Beifan was overjoyed and generously rewarded the officials.
Moreover, to celebrate the New Year, he held a grand court assembly and the Banquet of Ultimate Bliss to reward the civil and military officials.
However, this year’s grand court assembly was a bit different.
“Envoys from the Great Dé Dynasty have come with lavish gifts to wish His Majesty a prosperous New Year and good health!
”“Envoys from the Great Li Empire have come with lavish gifts to wish His Majesty good health and the nation’s prosperity!
”“Envoys from the Great Huang Dynasty have come with lavish gifts to wish His Majesty’s wishes come true and a life as long as the heavens!
”These were all envoys from other countries coming to pay New Year’s respects to Lin Beifan.
A total of 213 nations, big and small, presented a scene of nations coming to pay tribute!
This was the result of Great Xia’s development and changes over the past year, which had conquered them!
Therefore, they sent representatives to offer congratulations during the festive season.
The civil and military officials of Great Xia watched this scene with pride.
Their nation has truly risen to power, and it might echo across the seas and lands, which is why countless states come to pay homage and many nations come to celebrate!
Lin Beifan, beaming with joy, said, “Esteemed envoys, please dispense with the formalities!
I have accepted your gifts!
Tonight, we are hosting the Banquet of Ultimate Bliss, where we shall treat all of you.
We hope you return home content!
”“Thank you, Great Xia Emperor!
” the envoys exclaimed in unison.
Then came the much-anticipated Banquet of Ultimate Bliss.
To host this unprecedented Banquet of Ultimate Bliss, the imperial court spent nearly three million taels of silver, an amount greater than the annual revenue of many small kingdoms’ national treasuries.
Even the top-tier empires would hesitate to spend such a colossal amount of money on a lavish yet superficial banquet.
Such expenditure is not only financially draining but could drown the Emperor in the scorn of common people and scholars, who would condemn it as an omen of national disaster, something utterly unacceptable.
However, Lin Beifan enjoyed hosting exactly such events.
Each Banquet of Ultimate Bliss he hosted was more extravagant and wasteful than the last, yet instead of declining, the nation continued to prosper, breaking many people’s preconceptions—or perhaps, Lin Beifan’s very existence itself shattered their notions.
After the Banquet of Ultimate Bliss, naturally, it was time for a holiday.
As Emperor, Lin Beifan was no exception to tradition and took a break to spend quality time with his consorts, comfortably celebrating the New Year.
