Chapter 201.2
What do you think, daughter? Han Daosheng asked for the opinion of the person concerned.
Han Chuchu shyly said, Father, lets forget about being the Empress. After all, Im not cut out for that, and I dont want to be constrained!
Han Daosheng slammed the table, Alright! If you cant be the Empress, then you must at least be a Noble Consort. My daughter cannot be wronged!
Lin Beifan immediately assured, Father-in-law, rest assured, she will definitely not be wronged if she marry me!
With the main conflict resolved, the rest was easy to discuss.
After finalizing all the wedding details, Lin Beifan invited Han Daosheng to serve as a court official in Great Xia.
Of course Han Daosheng agreed without hesitation.
After all, with only this daughter and son-in-law, who else would he support if not them?
And then there were Han Chuchu and her personal maid Zhao Qianjin, both rare Innate masters, who also joined Great Xia.
This is a package deal, marrying this woman is such a bargain!
Ding! As the players national power has increased, your strength has increased accordingly. You are rewarded with the complete set of the Heavenly Demon Strategy!
The Heavenly Demon Strategy is a martial arts classic compiled by a once-in-a-generation genius who collected and refined the teachings of various schools, one of the four great mysterious books in the world! It consists of 10 volumes, including the Dao Heart Seed Magic Technique, Purple Blood Technique, Heavenly Demon Secret, and the Art of Escaping Punishment
Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this martial arts classic.
It had to be said that this martial arts classic was all-encompassing, containing all sorts of strange abilities, including the Dao Heart Seed Magic Technique he had previously learned.
This allowed his strength to take another big leap forward.
He opened the Empire Sandbox to take a look.
Empire Sandbox (Advanced Level)
Territorial Area: 8.2 million square miles (Arable land 5 million square miles)
Domestic Resources: 1.45 billion taels (5 gold mines, 8 silver mines, 12 copper mines, 18 iron mines)
Population: 58 million (Wealthy 1%, Common people 33%, Poor 66%)
Military Strength: 3.5 million (2 Grandmasters, 43 Innates, 12,000 martial artists)
Comprehensive National Power: 9600 (Dynasty level)
At this moment, the data of the Empire Sandbox was indeed impressive.
There was no change in Territorial Area and national resources.
The population had increased by more than 6 million, with the total population nearing 60 million.
The biggest change was in Military Strength, with an increase of over a million soldiers, several thousand martial artists, 21 Innates, and one Grandmaster.
Because of this, the comprehensive national power had significantly increased, and it was ready to break 10,000!
Seeing these figures, Lin Beifan couldnt help but feel self-satisfied.
In just two years, a small kingdom was developed into a super Dynasty, attracting attention from all over the world!
Even becoming an Empire is not far off!
Empire Sandbox, what conditions are needed to upgrade to an Empire?
Ding! Only when the comprehensive national power breaks through 10,000 will you be qualified to establish an Empire!
At the same time, several basic conditions must also be met!
Territorial Area must break through 6 million square miles!
Domestic Resources must exceed 1.2 billion taels!
Population must surpass 60 million!
Military Strength must exceed 6 million, and you must also have 60 Innate masters and 3 Grandmasters!
Once these conditions are all met, the nation will be promoted to an Empire! At the same time, the Empire Sandbox will also be upgraded, unlocking more game features!
Lin Beifan pondered seriously.
His Territorial Area had already broken through 8 million square miles, and Domestic Resources had long surpassed 1.2 billion, so these two conditions had already been met.
The Population was currently at 58 million, just 2 million short.
This was not a problem for him at all.
With the welfare benefits of his Great Xia, he would definitely continue to attract common people from other countries.
Even if no one came, domestic births would be enough.
After all, with survival issues resolved, the next thing was to reproduce and pass on the lineage, so people were especially fond of having children, and there had been a particularly large number of births in the past two years.
As for Military Strength, there was a larger gap.
Currently, the total military force of Great Xia was 3.5 million, still 2.5 million short.
However, this was not a big problem; with continued conscription next year, the target would definitely be met.
So the most pressing issue was the Innate masters and Grandmasters.
He was still 17 Innate masters and 1 Grandmaster short. This is a tough challenge to overcome.
But Lin Beifan was confident he could achieve it.
In a good mood, Lin Beifan casually created a few tornadoes in the Empire Sandbox and tossed them onto the territory of Great Luo.
Great Luo Emperor: ()
Then, he chose an auspicious day to marry Han Chuchu with great fanfare.
On the wedding day, Lin Beifan looked at the charming Han Chuchu, dressed in a phoenix crown and a robe of state, and said with a hint of melancholy, Chuchu, you have really deceived me terribly! I thought you were just an ordinary maid, but it turns out you are the daughter of a Grandmaster! And you havent come back for so long, I almost thought you would never return and had abandoned me!
Your Majesty!
Han Chuchu apologized, I had no choice at the time, I had to use this strategy to avoid an arranged marriage, please forgive me!
Lin Beifan cried out in anguish, Right, you also caused me to accidentally steal the Ninth Princes corner! How am I supposed to explain this to him when we meet again? Tell me, how will you compensate for my loss?
Han Chuchu looked pitifully and said, Your Majesty, I am already yours now, you can do whatever you want!
Lin Beifan said fiercely, To compensate for my loss, you must bear seven or eight children!
Han Chuchu exclaimed, Seven or eight. how can I possibly bear that many?
Objections are rejected! Lin Beifan pounced like a hungry wolf.
That night was yet another sleepless night.
In the following days, Lin Beifan spent his time in the imperial palace with his beloved consorts, especially the newly welcomed Consort Chu.
Night after night, they reveled in pleasure, forgetting everything else.
Han Daosheng decided to stay and continued to discuss the Dao with Lin Beifan and Sword Elder.
However, he could only endure a few days before feeling restless, as there were matters at home that required his attention, so he returned after agreeing to continue the discussions at a later time.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the imperial and martial arts examinations proceeded in an orderly fashion.
At present, the registration for the two major examinations has essentially concluded.
As expected by many, the number of candidates for the imperial examination had surpassed 100,000, reaching a total of 120,000 this year.
Due to the large number of applicants, the exam had to be conducted in four separate sessions.
Although the number of successful registrants for the martial arts examination was not as high, it still reached 800.
This figure was quite astonishing.
It is known that those who can lift a thousand-jin cauldron have generally reached at least the Second-rate level. Even if they havent reached the second-rate level, they are exceptionally talented and have superior physical conditions.
If all these individuals were to join Great Xia, Great Xias military strength would inevitably be greatly enhanced.
