Chapter 572: Refining National Fortune Power

And as the major legions achieved good results, during this period, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon also swallowed quite a bit of National Fortune power.

Now, Liu Bian intended to help the National Fortune Golden Dragon refine this National Fortune power.

"E Lai, you and Zhong Kang guard for me; I am going into closed-door cultivation for a few days."

"During my closed-door cultivation, no one is allowed to disturb me."

After preparing, Liu Bian said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu with a solemn face.

"This subordinate obeys the decree!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; with the two of us brothers here, no one will disturb you!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately responded loudly.

After explaining everything, Liu Bian began to help the National Fortune Golden Dragon refine the National Fortune power.

"Yin~"

After a dragon roar, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon appeared.

At this time, the National Fortune Golden Dragon's body had already grown to a size of seventy zhang.

And the National Fortune Golden Dragon of the Imperial Dynasty Realm needed to be at least over one hundred zhang.

"Supreme Emperor Art, refine!"

"Ang~"

As Liu Bian operated the technique, the National Fortune Golden Dragon let out a roar and began to refine the endless National Fortune power.

And the size of the National Fortune Golden Dragon also began to grow: seventy-one zhang... seventy-five zhang...

……

"Yin~"

Three days later, following a deafening dragon roar, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon appeared in the sky above Luoyang City.

And at the same time, the size of the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon had reached eighty-five zhang.

"Refining so much National Fortune power, the National Fortune Golden Dragon only grew by fifteen zhang. It seems the further back it goes, the more National Fortune power is needed!"

Seeing so much National Fortune power only increase the National Fortune Golden Dragon from seventy zhang to eighty-five zhang, Liu Bian sighed again.

And in the outside world, the people of Luoyang City saw the National Fortune Golden Dragon, with its huge dragon body covering the sky, and were all excited.

"It is the National Fortune Golden Dragon; the size of the National Fortune Golden Dragon has increased quite a bit. It seems our Great Han has become much stronger!"

"It must be that the major legions sent to the other worlds have achieved victory again!"

"Hahaha, I also want to cultivate well and strive to join the six major legions!"

"Who doesn't want to join the six major legions! It's just that the six major legions only have 200,000 troops each, and they are all at full capacity now. How difficult it is to join!"

"I really hope the Emperor can expand the six major legions so that we have a chance!"

The people of Luoyang City saw the National Fortune Golden Dragon and were all excited.

Seeing the Great Han become powerful, they, as citizens of the Great Han, also felt proud.

……

Imperial Palace, Liu Bian walked out of the closed-door cultivation place.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Emperor!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were guarding outside, saw Liu Bian come out and immediately saluted respectfully.

"Rise! Two beloved ministers have worked hard!"

Liu Bian nodded slightly to Dian Wei and the two, saying in a gentle tone.

"Your Majesty is too kind; this is what this subordinate and others should do!"

Dian Wei heard Liu Bian's words and responded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Liu Bian did not say more and then said to Li Liangcheng, who was waiting on the side:

"Li Liangcheng, notify the officials to enter the palace to see me!"

"This slave obeys the decree!"

……

About half an hour later, all the officials arrived at the main hall for the court assembly.

"We pay respects to the Emperor, long live, long live, long live the Emperor!"

The officials looked at Liu Bian sitting on the Dragon Throne, exuding a rich Imperial Aura, bowed neatly to the ground, and shouted in unison.

"Beloved ministers, rise!"

Liu Bian looked at the officials bowing to the ground, raised his hand, and said with majesty.

"We thank the Emperor!"

After thanking Liu Bian, everyone rose, and the civil and military officials divided into two columns, standing in order according to their official rank.

Subsequently, Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng walked out and shouted to the officials:

"If you have anything to report, report it; if not, retire from court!"

"I have a memorial to report to the Emperor!"

Following Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng's voice, Military Advisor Guo Jia stood out and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Approved!"

Liu Bian's majestic gaze scanned Guo Jia and said with majesty.

"Reporting to the Emperor, now it has been nearly two months since the major legions set out."

"The major legions have achieved huge results!"

"Now, the Tianlong world and the Apocalypse world are expected to be pacified in another two months."

"The Yitian world and the Xiaoao world can also be pacified in one and a half months."

"As for the Great Wall world, because it is a world dominated by ferocious beasts, it is the world with the fastest progress. According to the battle report of General Huang Zhong, it will take at most half a month to capture the Great Wall world."

"However, among these worlds, the cities captured by our Great Han are still relatively lacking in officials to govern. Although we have already appointed many local officials, the manpower is still insufficient. Please decide, Your Majesty!"

Guo Jia finished speaking and looked at Liu Bian with helplessness.

Now, as the Han's territory grows larger and larger, even though they have been trying their best to cultivate talent, it is still not enough.

After all, it has been less than three years since Liu Bian took power over the Han Empire.

In such a short period of time, wanting to cultivate enough talent is still not enough.

"There is no rush for this matter for now; I intend to integrate all five of these worlds into the main realm."

"Therefore, within these five worlds, try to prioritize using local personnel first. After they are integrated into the main realm, the Ministry of Personnel will then select officials from the main realm."

In Liu Bian's plan, these five worlds were always intended to be integrated into the main realm.

In this way, it will be more convenient for the imperial court to manage them, and it will also enhance the strength and grade of the main realm.

"In that case, this humble subject will no longer worry."

Upon hearing Liu Bian's words, Guo Jia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

Immediately after, Liu Bian said solemnly to the Minister of Rites, Cai Yong:

"Minister Cai, academies across the Han must also be established as soon as possible, especially in the areas added after the integration of the Shen Diao world."

"It is imperative that after the new year, every village has a completed schoolhouse and that they begin to be used normally."

"For this matter, your Ministry of Rites will take the lead, the Ministry of Works will fully cooperate with the construction of the academies and schoolhouses, and the Ministry of Revenue will promptly calculate the required expenses."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked at the several Ministers with a grave expression.

"We, your subjects, will strictly obey Your Majesty's holy decree!"

Minister of Rites Cai Yong, Minister of Works Xun You, and Minister of Revenue Xi Zhong all responded with solemn faces.

"Do any other ministers have memorials to present?"

Subsequently, Liu Bian asked the others.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject has a memorial to present!"

At this moment, Minister of War Cao Cao stepped out of the ranks and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Proceed!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, now that our Han main realm has expanded, the recruitment of garrison troops in all regions has been completed. Currently, every province of our Han has one hundred thousand troops stationed!"
