Chapter 160

Therefore...

Yan gives an order and launches a war of conquest against those wild areas.

"If you encounter attacks from wild beasts, slaughter them directly!"

"If you encounter people who have fled into the wilderness, those willing to submit are brought back to the Great Yan State; those unwilling to submit are killed on the spot!"

"Every time you conquer an area, build a city, build cement imperial roads, and draw a map!"

Under the command of these orders.

The Great Yan Army launches a vast road of conquest.

They leave the plains and begin to attack those wild areas.

These wild areas.

The roads are rugged, and there are a large number of wild beasts.

At the same time, in some places, there are a large number of people from the Jiang Tribe and the Si Tribe fleeing and gathering.

Back then.

Ji counterattacked and rose, winning battle after battle, and wiped out these two tribes.

But there were still a large number of people who were unwilling to submit.

Choosing to flee into the wilderness.

Living in the wilderness for decades.

And as the Great Yan Army conquers the wilderness...

These fleeing people are also discovered one after another.

Except for a small number of people who resist stubbornly, most people submit to the Great Yan Army and are brought back to the Great Yan State.

And every time a part of the area is occupied.

A towering city is built.

The map of the area is also drawn at the first opportunity and sent back to the palace.

Great Yan Year 3.

Under Yan's command.

The wild area is developed by one-fifth.

From these areas, hundreds of thousands of missing people are obtained.

All are brought back to the Great Yan State, registered, and included in the household register.

Cement imperial roads and cities are everywhere in those rugged mountain roads.

In the same year.

Because of the policy of encouraging childbirth, the population growth of the Great Yan State exceeds five times that of the past.

Yan, after careful consideration.

Decides to move the people in the Great Yan State...

To live and multiply in the cities opened up in the wild areas.

The people who fled from the Jiang Tribe and the Si Tribe gave him a wake-up call.

The wild area is a hidden danger.

If it is not cleared in time, it will definitely counterattack the Great Yan State in the future.

Therefore.

He adopts the plan of migrating the people.

Giving huge rewards to encourage the people to settle in the wild areas.

In this way, the wilderness of the future...

Will truly belong to the Great Yan State.

Great Yan Year 4.

Under the vigorous development wave of the whole country.

The wild area is developed to one-third.

Dozens of huge cities are built in the wild mountainous areas.

The plan of migrating the people also achieves results, and the rule is increasingly consolidated.

Great Yan Year 8.

The wild area is completely developed.

The army of the Great Yan State...

Successfully fights through the wild area and sees the coastline on the other side of the wilderness!

And that map is also completely drawn.

In the palace.

Yan looks at the incredibly vast and wide map before him, and his mood becomes more excited.

This year.

He is thirty-six years old!

Using eight years, he conquered the land and knew the situation of the world!

"It turns out... we live on a giant island, surrounded by the ocean!"

Yan looks at the map and murmurs to himself.

The range of this map is incredibly vast.

Only after statistics does he know.

The wild area is actually three times the area of the Great Yan State before!

And the diameter range of this giant island...

Even if one uses the fastest horse in the Great Yan State, it would take four months of running without sleep to finish it!

"Late Emperor, do you see it? This is the true territory of the Great Yan State!"

Yan holds the map and takes a deep breath.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction wells up in his heart.

Next.

He will develop these wild areas.

There are a large number of resources in them that can be utilized.

For example, iron ore exists between these remote wild mountains.

Great Yan Year 10.

The Ministry of Works has another amazing discovery.

Palace, Great Hall.

"Your Majesty, I led the Ministry of Works to work hard, lasting ten years, and finally successfully researched the four strange objects designated by Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Works bends his waist.

Looking at Yan sitting on the dragon chair, he says excitedly.

After Yan finishes listening.

His expression is full of joy, and he quickly asks: "Have you really researched them?"

The Minister of Works nods.

Subsequently, he has the four strange objects brought up.

"First, this object comes from iron; after forging and grinding, it always points to the south!"

"Second, this object imitates the divine book; after soaking and processing plants, one can obtain paper like the divine book, used for writing!"

"Third, this object comes from stone mines in the wilderness; it is easy to ignite, and after igniting, it has considerable power."

"Fourth, we used copper to cast, obtained text carving plates, and combined with paper, we can print quickly!"

Yan finishes listening to the report of the Minister of Works.

He is even more happy from ear to ear: "Not bad, not bad! The Ministry of Works has such a strange merit; I will reward them heavily!"

And Qin Mu watches this scene the whole time...
