After three hundred years of cultivating immortals, he suddenly discovered that he was a martial arts man Chapter 284 The Crisis of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Empress Mingqiong
Chapter 284 The Crisis of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Empress Mingqiong
In fact, for ordinary people, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne.
As long as it can ensure that they live and work in peace and contentment and have some room for progress, this is enough.
Even if there is no change of emperor for hundreds of years, there will be no problem.
This was the case in the Zhou Dynasty.
Under the rule of that female emperor, the Zhou Dynasty became more powerful every year than the previous year, and both the living standards of the people and the level of martial arts were rising steadily.
Today is the 371st year of Zhifeng, and the Great Zhou Dynasty 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 Zhou Dynasty has achieved many improvements.
The first is the land area.
Today, the Great Zhou Dynasty has occupied more than 50% of the land of Tianxu Realm. From the mountains to the plains, from the land to the sea, it is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the entire Tianxu world, there is only one country called Daxia that can barely compete with it.
However, Daxia Kingdom only occupies a little more than 30% of the land of Tianxu Realm, which is only slightly more than half of Dazhou in terms of size.
As for the remaining 10% of the land, there are hundreds of small countries. It serves as a buffer zone between Daxia and Dazhou, reducing the border line between the two superpowers. Since Daxia and Dazhou have a close relationship, almost
There will be no serious conflicts and conflicts, and both countries have their own means of domestic governance, which can ensure internal and external harmony.
Therefore, in the past two hundred years, it can be said that the Tianxu world has been the most stable period in its history, with almost no major wars and conflicts occurring.
If it weren't for the hundreds of small countries that often conquered each other for petty gains, it is estimated that the concept of war would not have existed in the minds of ordinary people.
The other thing is the population size and overall martial arts level.
Nowadays, the registered population of Dazhou has exceeded 15 billion, and martial arts education has been popularized. As long as adults are adults, they can reach the innate realm.
If you are more advanced, you can reach the inner scene or even the divine realm.
The best among them can even become human immortals and earthly immortals. Even if they were unattainable celestial beings, immortals, and celestial kings three hundred years ago, ordinary people often break through. All these seem to mean that the Great Zhou Dynasty will change.
As we get stronger and stronger, we will move from one greatness to another, and we will continue to be strong forever.
However, many people with insight have seen the hidden dangers under such strength.
And it’s a huge crisis!
Then the rapid expansion of population and the serious shortage of land in the future are not only a crisis for Daxia or Dazhou, but also a crisis for the entire Tianxu world.
People in the Growth Realm live in a stable and prosperous environment for a long time, and their aspirations for raising offspring are very high. The improvement of the overall spiritual level has also brought about a greatly increased life span. An ordinary couple will have about four or five children, or even more.
This caused the population in Tianxu Realm to expand at an extremely fast rate.
The land is enough now, but in another hundred years, two hundred years, even five hundred years, or one thousand years.
That may not be the case.
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Empress's bedroom.
Li Wei, wearing a bright red official uniform, came here in a hurry, then saluted very respectfully: "Your Majesty, Li Wei, pays homage to your Majesty."
Today, she has already recovered her cultivation, and has taken a step closer, successfully unifying all dharma, and entering the realm of a saint.
Although Li Wei is now over a thousand years old, her face is still youthful and beautiful.
It's just that in order to be in charge of the government, she no longer looks like a girl, but a little more mature, looking like she is in her twenties.
In the court of Dazhou, Li Wei was also Li Mingqiong's right-hand man.
For nearly 130 years, Li Wei has been holding the position of prime minister, and she has implemented many specific decrees.
In fact, she was already one of the most powerful people in the Zhou Dynasty besides Li Mingqiong.
However, Li Wei herself has always been very clear about her position.
She knew very well that she was just a close servant of His Majesty the Empress, and her purpose was to perform well in order to be taught by Her Majesty the cultivation method that did not require immortality.
He is definitely not a powerful minister.
It is even less likely that she will become the person who truly controls the power of the country. Furthermore, the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Mingqiong, already occupies an extremely important position in Li Wei's heart.
She will do her best to assist and make Dazhou even greater.
"Yeah." Li Mingqiong's slightly lazy voice sounded from behind the screen.
Then he saw her walking out wearing a moon-white silk nightgown.
As the King of Saints, the passage of two hundred years has not had any impact on her appearance. She is still as beautiful as ever, and her beauty is heavenly.
Of course, saying he is the King of Saints is just an estimate.
In fact, she is not very clear about what kind of state she is currently in.
As the Great Zhou Dynasty grew stronger, Li Mingqiong's cultivation of national destiny also continued to improve.
Under the influence of the power of Guoyun, the Divine Soul Golden Pill has become extremely rational, and her Niwan Palace has even turned into a golden ocean.
In terms of strength, it is even more powerful. A single thought can annihilate thousands of Wuji Golden Immortals on the spot.
Moreover, due to the special nature of the national destiny, she can appear anywhere in the Zhou Kingdom at any time.
To some extent, this can even be called "ubiquitous".
Your Majesty, the proportion of population and land statistics that you ordered has been completed." 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 nodded, then raised her hand lightly, and the piece of jade simply fell into her palm.
She saw the brilliance flowing above, and she quickly read the information inside, and her eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
"The Tianxu Realm is still too small." Li Mingqiong sighed softly, "If we can't make breakthroughs in terms of land and population, in another hundred years, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my cultivation to be precise. The core of national destiny is national strength.
degree of strength.
National strength is mainly affected by three factors: land area, domestic population, and domestic martial arts level.
In the past two hundred years, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty has developed rapidly, and Li Mingqiong's level of cultivation has naturally skyrocketed. Her growth in level of cultivation can also feed back to the country, allowing domestic warriors to practice with twice the result with half the effort, thereby further enhancing the country's martial arts level.
.
This is a very virtuous cycle.
However, this mutually reinforcing cycle has a limit. With her current level of cultivation, it will at most make the cultivation of Xuanxian and below faster.
Once you reach the Xuanxian level, your cultivation speed will naturally slow down.
This will cause the vast majority of the people to stay in the realm below the Xuanxian, and they are the main source of growth in national power.
But if no new population is born for a long time, there will be no new heavenly beings, immortals, and heavenly kings, and the growth of national power will become extremely difficult.
According to the investigation results presented by Li Wei, this situation will occur in another hundred years.
The core problem is that the land area is not enough to support such a large population.
By then, Li Mingqiong's improvement in realm cultivation will almost stagnate.
"Your Majesty, can you swallow the lower world?" Li Wei suggested, this was the only way she could think of.
The land in the Tianxu Realm is limited, and Daxia next door was founded by the descendants of Xianzun's disciples. It is impossible for Dazhou to invade its land due to emotions and reasons. Dao Zhouxing in the lower realm is undoubtedly the best choice.
If the common people extend their land to the lower realm, it will be a violation of the lower realm.
"Leave?" Li Wei was a little surprised when he heard this.
"I shouldn't have to do it," Li Mingqiong said in a deep voice, "It can take as little as a hundred years, or as long as two hundred years. I should have a breakthrough. By then, my cultivation will be better."
"However, by that time, I should be able to use my supernatural powers, gather the power of national destiny, and take the entire Great Zhou with me, so that I can step into the stars and follow in the footsteps of my master.
"Take the entire Zhou Dynasty with you?!" Li Wei's beautiful eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "What kind of magical power is this? Your Majesty, what state have you reached?
"I can't explain this clearly." Li Mingqiong shook his head slightly and sighed, "I'm afraid I won't know the road ahead until I meet Master."
In fact, she also tried to explore the road ahead by herself, but in the absence of effective reference, it was too difficult to find a way alone.
Especially when I am still exploring a path higher than my own realm.
This is almost impossible to accomplish.
Seeing Li Mingqiong's sadness, Li Wei hurriedly said: "Is there anything I can do to help Your Majesty?"
"You can't help me much." Li Mingqiong shook his head and smiled, "I can only work hard on my own cultivation, or ask for advice...
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, looked to the northeast with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Crossing the passage, the cross-border passage between Tianxu Realm and Dao Zhouxing has been opened.
"Cross-border passage?!" Li Wei said in surprise, "Isn't it the time for the two to meet? How could there be a cross-border passage? She was stunned when she said this, with a look of surprise on her face.
The Tianxu Realm is essentially an alien space outside of Daozhou Star, and is not connected to Daozhou Star at all times.
There is a brief period of convergence only once every hundred years.
Now that this confluence period has passed, it should be impossible to establish a channel between the two.
Unless one uses great supernatural powers to forcibly connect the two.
And there was only one person she knew who had such great supernatural powers.
"Is it the Immortal Lord?" Li Wei said in surprise.
"It should be Master, it should be Master!" Li Mingqiong also became excited.
Then her figure swayed, and the silk nightgown she wore instantly turned into a decent dress.
"Follow me to greet Master.
Cui Heng came to Tianxu Realm without deliberately concealing his aura.
As long as Li Mingqiong has not fallen behind in his practice of the national destiny, he should be able to sense his arrival directly.
Therefore, as soon as he settled down, he saw two rays of light flying from the southwest. They were extremely fast and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Li Mingqiong was the first to emerge from the light, and bowed respectfully in front of Cui Heng, "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Li Wei followed closely behind and saluted with the same respect: "Greetings to the Immortal!"
