Chapter 49 Draft

"Domination and destruction are two different concepts."

In the imperial study room, Ying Yi took down a jade volume from the bookshelf, turned his back to Zhang Ming and said, "I still haven't been able to fully guess what the black hand behind the destruction of the first world is thinking about."

"The only thing that's certain is that it can bring benefits. As for why..." Ying Yi opened the jade book and the photos flashed in front of him like a fleeting glance.

"Before our unification, this planet had many ethnic groups, countries, and different cultures. In the myths and legends of most nations, there is often a 'god' whose mission is to 'destroy the world'. This destruction of the world is not a fight against the world. Not to destroy the world, but to destroy the civilization of a certain world." The fleeting photos record the world-destroying people and world-destroying events in the myths and legends of various ethnic groups before the Great Xia became a planet.

"This is the enemy of humanity." Ying Yi gently covered the jade album with his hands, and the photo disappeared immediately: "If I want to take the first realm, the prerequisite is to kill this owl. If not, I will set myself on fire and bring disaster to this planet. , it’s too late to regret.”

He said: "There is already a way to restrain this owl. Wang Yisheng asked me to tell him again, so I agreed to his strategy of indirect intervention. Let's see how this owl reacts first."

Then he asked: "How is the status of the evil-destroying weapons being installed in the army?"

Zhang Ming paid tribute: "The Imperial Guards of the Central Region and the Liaodong Theater have been gradually fielded, and the South Vietnam Theater is in the process of being fielded. It is expected that all evil-destroying series of weapons will be fielded in the middle of the seventeenth year."

"Yes." Ying Yi nodded slightly: "There is only one year left, so time is running out."

Ying Yi believes that the black hand that destroyed the world in the first world will not tolerate the existence of the Daxia Empire stronghold forever. That's a threat.

Ying Yi was worried about setting himself on fire, so he lured the thief to the empire's own planet. However, for the World-Destroying Black Hand, isn't it even more uncomfortable? The empire's stronghold is there, and the empire's weapons have been unsheathed and pointed clearly at it.

Once the empire shows a greater threat, or as time goes by, it will take action anyway. The first step must be to remove the empire's stronghold in the first realm.

With only a thousand soldiers, Wang Yisheng would probably not be able to resist.

Ying Yi likes to take the initiative, and would rather make a move to stimulate the thief first than wait passively for the thief to take action - the most important thing is that he already has targeted means.

If possible, Ying Yi would even go there in advance to try the quality of the thing.

For the first realm, as long as the thief is killed, everything after that will be easy. In comparison, the second world is more complicated.

There is only a small population left in the first realm. After the empire takes over the first realm, it will not start immigrating immediately. Therefore, in the first realm, the most it can do is to build a city on each continent and gather survivors.

The second realm has a prosperous population and a vast territory. The Sui Kingdom was not the only country in the second realm.

A larger population means more work for the empire to do. Although the second world still has no traces like the black hands in the first world, and there are no obstacles in the military aspect, the governance and rule after the military require more effort.

...

After three months of traveling in the starry sky, the starship that took off in the sky finally returned.

They brought back the preliminary results of the exploration of the three planets, the moon, Venus, and Mars, and brought back people's longing for the sky beyond.

This set off a huge wave of discussion among the people of the empire. For the people, this is a novel feeling, and they are lucky to tolerate it, or they are proud and satisfied.

But for businessmen and those with flexible minds, it is an opportunity.

The strategic plan for the development of the Imperial Starry Sky has already been publicized in full swing. Anyone who is interested in this is looking forward to it.

The return of the starry sky spaceship indicates that the strategic plan for starry sky development is about to enter a countdown. Those who have ideas are already preparing for this.

"This is a photo taken with Yuanqi communication detection equipment."

A monk with a red face said to Ying Yi: "Your Majesty, based on the detailed terrain photos captured by Yuan Qi's communication detection, we have made a rough choice. The location of the first phase of the development base will be based on the nearby enrichment Resources, basin terrain, and planetary climate disaster blind spots are the key points. Two development bases will be initially set up on the moon, three on Venus, and five on Mars, which is huge."

In the photo, three planets are slowly rotating. On each planet, there are a few red lights flashing, which is the location of the chosen development base.

Ying Yi fiddled with the photo, watched it carefully for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Then he said to Yan Ermei and others on the side: "Three planets, ten planned development bases, prepare all the resources required according to the budget, can it be done before May?"

Yan Ermei said categorically: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no mistakes."

"Okay," Ying Yi said with a smile: "Start the starry sky development strategic plan as soon as possible. The empire is not limited to different levels, nor is it limited to this world. Pioneering, pioneering, the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of all Xia, will never stop. .”

Even if one day the Empire discovers the deep secrets of Yuan Qi's transformation of matter and the demand for natural mineral mining is greatly reduced, the Empire will not stop. Ying Yi will never stop somewhere unless there is no way forward...

After arranging the preliminary matters for the starry sky development plan, Ying Yi and Yan Ermei left Yuanqi Palace. The emperor and his ministers accompanied each other while discussing in detail the details of the starry sky development strategic plan.

Since the Forbidden City was transformed into a sky-proof city by Ying Yi, the offices of the empire's central agencies have been moved away from the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City rises from the ground, and the Riyue Lake under the hanging waterfall in the north of the city is where the central agency offices are now gathered.

Coming out of Yuanqi Palace, bypassing the Forbidden Emperor's Hill, you will soon reach the Sun and Moon Lake. Under the hanging willow trees by the lake and on the cobblestone paths, after the monarch and his ministers discussed some details, Yan Ermei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, the draft will be held this year. The Ministry of Rites has already started to prepare for it. Now the empire is on the 1st There is already a stronghold in the first sector, and there is a state in the second sector. Should the first sector and the second sector be included in the draft?"

Hearing this, Ying Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Regarding the draft, Ying Yi now has no intention of forcing anything. But this was not the case with the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

It has been more than twenty years since Ying Yi rose to power and established his empire. The emperor, who was in his twenties at the time, was now in his forties.

However, the emperor had no heirs.

Although everyone knows that the emperor's longevity must be beyond imagination. But the emperor has no heirs, which is still unsettling.

So since the first national draft, it has been held every three years. One is to select outstanding women in the hope of giving birth to children for the emperor. Second, it is also a certain shortcut for all walks of life in the empire - after being selected, no matter whether you can be favored by the emperor or not, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
