Growing stronger

The guy in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings doesn't know what's going on, but lately he's definitely been acting very strangely.

According to Fang Weiyan, the creatures in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are definitely not easy to mess with.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

However, a moment later, Empress Wanxi made a move.

Now that she knew something was off about the people in this Land of Ten Thousand Witherings, she naturally had to be careful. Putting everything else aside, at the very least, she needed to send in more Yin God to guard the passage.

Jiang Kingdom.

Recently, due to concerns about insufficient manpower, Fang Weiyan has ordered the recruitment of soldiers again.

After the news spread, quite a few people came forward to answer the call.

Originally, life is much better now than before, and there's no need for those people to join the army for a meager salary.

The reason why the people are so enthusiastic and willing to come to answer the call is entirely due to Fang Weiyan's personal charm.

After all, Fang Weiyan had previously instructed the Ministry of Ministry of Rites to issue numerous imperial edicts.

This is a good way for ordinary people to understand the current emperor.

In particular, all the imperial edicts issued afterward were carried out without exception.

How long has it been? The Emperor has already eradicated poverty for many families.

At the very least, everyone has enough to eat.

While it's impossible to make everyone rich, at the very least, being able to have enough to eat is the most important thing.

Fang Weiyan satisfied the people's needs, and the people naturally supported Fang Weiyan greatly.

Hearing that troops were needed, he immediately sent the men from his household.

This left the officials who came to recruit soldiers somewhat bewildered when they saw the countless soldiers swarming around them.

After all, no one had expected so many able-bodied men to come.

And they all acted as if not accepting their services would be disrespecting them.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no famine anywhere at the moment, the officials recruiting soldiers would have thought that there was a famine somewhere.

The Imperial Palace.

Fang Weiyan and Yunxi sat facing each other, dining together.

According to the original system in the palace, when the emperor wanted to eat, he had to eat separately from his concubines, empress, and other concubines.

The emperor was the only one there, and there was only one table.

This also ensured the safety of the emperor's food.

However, Fang Weiyan is now the Human Sovereign and doesn't care about this system, so he changed it directly.

Fang Weiyan was, after all, the emperor, and the others couldn't say anything about it; they could only let Fang Weiyan go.

The charcoal fire under the stove was burning very brightly, and the two of them were enjoying their hot pot.

Fang Weiyan had finally finished all the backlog of work and was able to relax for a while before he could enjoy a good meal.

Otherwise, the matter of the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings would still be weighing heavily on Fang Weiyan's mind.

"My lord, are you sure it's safe in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings?"

As Yunxi listened to Fang Weiyan talk about the solution to the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings, she still felt somewhat worried.

She feared that the matter would not be resolved properly.

Jiang Kingdom had just recovered a little, but now he was about to face unknown battles in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

Under these circumstances, she was naturally somewhat unwilling.

Given Fang Weiyan's governing abilities, the Jiang Kingdom only needs to develop gradually and it will definitely become a prosperous dynasty; there's absolutely no need for it to engage in fighting.

"Tao Lingluo performed exceptionally bravely inside, and those Yin God you brought in, after absorbing a considerable amount of Incense Offerings, are now also able to contribute. It shouldn't be a problem now."

"Most importantly, the weapons are also in place. Although those guys in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are immortal, the weapons I brought have still proven effective."

They were all made up of skeletons or some random junk pieces.

If you fire enough bullets, it will fall apart.

Under these circumstances, Fang Weiyan naturally felt that the passageway could be held for the time being.

In addition, the arsenal has also begun producing bullets.

There are plenty of raw materials being transported from various places, so there's no need to worry about running out of ammunition.

Just keep using it up until the channel closes.

"Furthermore, the messenger I sent should have arrived by now. As long as the other Human Sovereign also know this news and maintain their defenses, nothing serious will happen."

Seeing Tao Lingluo's worried expression, Fang Weiyan immediately offered a reassuring word.

Besides, he hasn't made a move yet.

As the most powerful force in the Jiang Kingdom, he will only step in if a real crisis arises.

And the power that can be unleashed by using the national strength of a country goes without saying.

"Furthermore, some of Weiwei's clansmen have arrived one after another. These Mountain Spirit Clan are all very powerful, and with their help, guarding the passage will be even less of a problem."

Fang Weiyan spoke softly.

The Mountain Spirit that arrived one after another have now all become experts of the Flower Blooming Realm, and have all been dispatched into the passage.

That Land of Ten Thousand Witherings can be said to be where the most advanced forces of the Jiang Kingdom have gathered.

To be honest, Fang Weiyan didn't think this passage could be broken so easily.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi thought about it carefully and realized that the Mountain Spirit Clan had indeed increased considerably.

There are currently about a dozen experts from the Flower Blooming Realm on the other side of the passage.

With so many experts in charge, there shouldn't be too many problems.

Thinking of this, Yunxi immediately felt relieved.

"By the way, my lord, all the women sent before have been trained. If you wish to serve me in bed later, you may choose any of them."

As she spoke, Yunxi pointed to the group of palace maids behind her.

The palace maids who had been serving the two were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then two blushes immediately appeared on their pretty faces.

None of them expected Yunxi to suddenly say such a thing.

After all, they are all women, and it's inevitable that they would feel a little shy when faced with such a situation.

Fang Weiyan was also taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Yunxi in front of him and smiled, "Why bother?"

Why does Yunxi still remember this even now?

Fang Weiyan thought that the other party was training these palace maids only for safety reasons.

"Of course it's necessary; as the ruler of a country, this is perfectly normal."

Upon seeing Fang Weiyan's response, Yunxi immediately spoke up, her face remaining remarkably calm.

For her, this was simply the way things should be, and she naturally didn't feel that anything was wrong with it.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan knew that Yunxi's views were difficult to change, so he simply stopped talking about the topic.

"In a few days, several nearby vassal states should come to trade, at which point trade between us can be considered to have officially begun."

"The bridges that the Ministry of Works was previously dispatched to build are probably almost finished. It's time to open the river. Using water transport should greatly reduce the costs of trade with other countries."

Fang Weiyan changed the subject and brought up this matter.

After the canal is opened, it can also drive hydroelectric power generation.

Fang Weiyan had given the order for this a long time ago.

Just now, I heard from the Ministry of Ministry of Works that the arrangements were almost complete.

The canal route has already been planned.

Once the canal is opened, benefits such as power generation and water transport will emerge.

In addition, it can bring abundant water flow to many places.

This is a good thing for people in many places.

At the very least, we won't have to endure drought anymore.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi thought for a moment, "When I checked Yanhuai City today, I noticed that the color appearing in the sky above Yanhuai City had deepened considerably."

She was referring to national strength.

Recently, Yunxi has particularly enjoyed watching the national power display from Yanhuai City.

Every day when I wake up, I can truly feel that the country's strength is constantly growing.

This was something she found very worthwhile to watch, and also something to be very gratified about.

Judging from the nation's strength, it's clear that Fang Weiyan has indeed been working hard and has succeeded.

That's why the country's strength has been continuously improving.

Especially recently, the country's strength has improved significantly.

Opportunities are there every day, and they are constantly increasing.

This upgrade includes benefits from various aspects.

Things like the increased strength of the Yin God, the establishment of factories, the accumulation of grain in people's homes, and the military production line that Fang Weiyan acquired.

And a whole series of other things.

These things provide daily feedback on national strength, each contributing to its growth to some extent.

With so many things combined, the resulting increase in national strength is naturally quite considerable.

This meant that every time Yunxi watched, she could see the real growth of these national strengths at a rate visible to the naked eye.

This kind of growth would be completely impossible in other countries.

Where else can you find a country where you wake up every day and see such a significant increase in national power?

It would be more accurate to say that something unexpected happened, resulting in a very significant decline.

In short, it's impossible for the Jiang Kingdom to experience such significant growth.

"Yes, we've developed quite a few new things recently. Once the canal is completed and trade is established, I estimate we'll see a small boom."

The nation's strength has experienced a minor surge, which is what Fang Weiyan meant.

From Fang Weiyan's perspective, such a small increase in national strength seemed rather unappealing.

So right now, I feel that a small, gradual increase followed by a sudden surge is actually more satisfying to watch.

Yunxi observes the nation's strength daily and can see that it is constantly growing.

This is real and tangible.

Fang Weiyan could clearly feel every night that the golden dragon surrounding him was constantly growing stronger.

This power was directly bestowed upon Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan, greatly enhancing his strength.

It seems that the country's strength has only improved slightly.

If it's just a matter of a country's national strength increasing, and that strength is concentrated in a single aspect, then that increase in strength becomes incredibly powerful.

Fang Weiyan had never competed with anyone before and didn't know how powerful he was.

But there is no doubt that Fang Weiyan's current strength is far beyond what Mountain Spirit and the others can handle.

Fang Weiyan was very clear about this.

Therefore, as Weiwei's clansmen continued to arrive, Fang Weiyan followed the previous method and increased the strength of these Mountain Spirit to the maximum.

Fang Weiyan showed no fear whatsoever towards the Mountain Spirit Clan.

"If that's the case, then it can only mean that the strength of the Jiang Kingdom has increased considerably."

Yunxi smiled upon hearing this, and while eating, she couldn't help but look at the delicious food in front of her.

Even though the palace is no longer short of money, the food prepared there still pales in comparison to the food Fang Weiyan brought.

She still felt that the food she brought had a unique flavor that was irresistible.

The two ate their meal while discussing matters concerning national strength.

In addition to equipping his soldiers, Fang Weiyan has recently been focusing on enhancing the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom.

In any case, the improvement of the Jiang Kingdom strength is directly related to Fang Weiyan's power.

Fang Weiyan's strength is key. As long as Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan stronger, he will be confident that he can fight any troublesome opponent that appears in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

Another point that Fang Weiyan was also a little worried about was...

Even the Dragon King, who has lived for over a thousand years, doesn't know much about the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

Compared to the age of this Land of Ten Thousand Witherings, it's like a baby.

And those creatures that exist in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings have lived for an immeasurable amount of time.

Having lived for so long, Fang Weiyan estimated that the other party's strength should have also greatly improved.

Therefore, Fang Weiyan never let his guard down.

This also continuously enhances the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom.

Fang Weiyan's efforts were clearly not in vain. Every day when he woke up, he could feel a real increase in his strength, which was wonderful for Fang Weiyan.

Furthermore, the golden dragon that had been coiled around Fang Weiyan would become even more majestic due to Fang Weiyan's power.

"Once the Jiang Kingdom's national strength reaches the purple level, I imagine that at that time, no one will be your match."

Yunxi thought for a moment, then sighed and said something.

She currently has no idea just how powerful Fang Weiyan truly is.

However, she still cheered for Fang Weiyan in her heart, hoping that Fang Weiyan's strength could continue to rise significantly.

At that time, we will truly be invincible under heaven.

In this way, Jiang Kingdom naturally managed to hold on to him.

"Upgrading to purple isn't easy, but I'll do my best."

Seeing Yunxi looking at him with such hope, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but smile.

Purple is too far away; let's focus on our current level for now.

Once national strength increases, improving one's own strength becomes quite simple; there's no need for cultivation at all, as strength will continuously improve on its own.
