Chapter 514

"It is time to go and see the officials!"

Muttering to himself, Liu Bian rose and walked out of the Imperial Study.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei and Li Liangcheng, who were waiting outside the door, hurriedly saluted after seeing Liu Bian come out.

"Let's go, to the Court Hall."

Liu Bian said, taking the lead in walking toward the Court Hall.

Before long, Liu Bian, wearing a purple-gold nine-clawed dragon robe and an imperial crown, arrived at the Court Hall.

After Liu Bian sat upright on the dragon throne on the high platform, the ministers bowed to the ground, full of awe, and shouted in unison:

"We, pay respects to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long long live!"

Liu Bian's handsome face was full of majesty, and his whole body radiated a dense imperial aura.

He reached out and lifted his hand toward the bowing officials, saying majestically:

"My subjects, rise, be seated!"

The officials immediately shouted in unison:

"We, thank Your Majesty!"

After the officials were seated, Liu Bian's majestic voice also resounded throughout the Court Hall.

"I presume you subjects already know that the World Consciousness of this world has already been controlled by me."

"From now on, this will be the main world of my Great Han."

"Moreover, with the unification of the Great Han Main Realm, the current world rules have also changed."

As Liu Bian's voice fell, the officials were all startled.

However, no one took the lead to ask; they knew Liu Bian would tell them next.

Sure enough, they heard Liu Bian continue:

"From now on, the continents of the main world will slowly move, centered on the thirteen provinces of the Great Han."

"Eventually, all continents will form a single, integrated landmass, centered on the Great Han."

As Liu Bian's voice fell, the entire Court Hall became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

In this way, how big will the continents be in the future?

On this point, no one knew!

However, after forming a single landmass, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the entire continent will be the territory of the Great Han.

And the disadvantage, naturally, is that with a larger territory, it becomes difficult to manage.

Although the current Great Han has identity jade tokens for communication.

But this is limited to communication; other aspects are not convenient.

Just the circulation of goods and the appointment of officials are all major problems.

At this time, the Ministers of the Six Ministries and the Cabinet Ministers below also thought of the pros and cons of these continents connecting together.

However, everyone was not worried about this.

The people of the Great Han now are no longer novices in cultivation.

Liu Bian has already exchanged many books about cultivation from the system mall.

These books all introduce matters related to cultivation, such as realms, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, various heavens' races, etc.

Therefore, for the problem at hand, they naturally have ways to solve it.

It is just that their current cultivation is too low, and many methods cannot be displayed.

"May I ask Your Majesty, how long will it take for these continents to connect together?"

At this time, the Minister of Works Xun You asked Liu Bian in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Liu Bian also knew Xun You's thoughts and immediately responded:

"Fastest in one or two years, shortest in two or three years, these continents will gather together."

After hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xun You even said solemnly to Liu Bian:

"Your Majesty, in this way, these continents all gathering together to form a new continent is actually a good thing for my Great Han."

"Now, the cultivation of us Ministers of the Six Ministries and the colleagues in the Cabinet has reached the Scholar Second Heaven realm."

"The cultivation of the commanders of the major legions has also reached the Innate Second or Third Heaven realm."

"Within a year, through diligent cultivation, we will certainly be able to break through to the Martial Ancestor realm."

"In this way, the cultivation will also meet the requirements for setting up teleportation arrays."

"With teleportation arrays, distance will no longer be a problem."

After Xun You finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bian with a face full of confidence.

Within a year, breaking through to the Martial Ancestor realm, he had confidence in this.

As Xun You's voice fell, the Ministers of the Six Ministries, Guo Jia, and the commanders of the six major legions clasped their fists in unison and said:

"We (this general) second the motion!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian was also very satisfied.

Immediately, Liu Bian stood up and said majestically to the crowd:

"Good, since you subjects have such confidence, then this matter is settled."

"At that time, the array diagrams, materials, etc., required for setting up the teleportation arrays will all be provided by me."

Hearing this, the ministers also bowed solemnly and said:

"We will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, Liu Bian turned his gaze to the Ministers of the Six Ministries.

"You Six Ministries, have the slaves of the foreign tribes been arranged properly?"

Hearing this, the Minister of Rites Cai Yong immediately stepped out and bowed to Liu Bian, saying:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the slaves arranged to my Great Han from various places now total 12 million; these people will be dispersed to various places and arranged by the local prefectures and commanderies themselves."

"There are also about 20 million slaves, who, after our discussion, will remain in their local areas, and the students from my Royal Academy will go there to arrange for them to be responsible for the local development needs."

Hearing this, Liu Bian also nodded slightly.

"This matter was handled well; those places indeed need people."

"Tell the students of the Royal Academy that I only give them three years; if after three years, someone has not met the court's assessment, then continue to go back to the academy!"

"The management of these continents, you Six Ministries and the Cabinet must manage well; from now on, these all belong to the territory of my Great Han."

Hearing Liu Bian's solemn words, the Ministers of the Six Ministries and the Cabinet Ministers all responded with solemn expressions:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will certainly manage them properly!"

"However, there are some people in here whose skin color is different from us Han people; I don't know, Your Majesty, how we should deal with these people?"

At this time, Xun Yu suddenly asked Liu Bian with a solemn expression.

"Haha, Wenruo, this matter is easy!"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Liu Bian smiled slightly and said to him with a smile.

"Back then, I told you that in these All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there is not just us descendants of Yan and Huang."

"In these All Heavens and Myriad Realms, in most worlds, there are descendants of Yan and Huang."

"Therefore, in my plan, from now on in the Great Han Main Realm, only people with pure Yan and Huang bloodlines can live permanently; these people will be the first-class citizens of my Great Han."

"And those foreign tribe people who voluntarily surrender to my Great Han can be second-class citizens of my Great Han."

"Second-class citizens, wanting to live in the Great Han Main Realm, need to make important contributions to the Great Han, and only after approval by the government can they live in the Main Realm."

"As for third-class citizens, that is, those slaves who, after laboring for my Great Han Empire, turn into third-class citizens of the Great Han."

"These people can only live in the subsidiary worlds of the Great Han; if these people want to live in the Great Han Main Realm, they can only become servants of my Great Han officials."

"Regarding the classification of my Great Han citizens and the rights enjoyed by the corresponding citizens, you Six Ministries and the Cabinet should formulate it carefully."

"The main body cannot deviate from the framework I have set!"
