Chapter 75.1

Lin Beifans current strength is clearly superior to that of an average Imperial Qi expert.

Because he possessed a multitude of top-tier supreme skills.

Three Parts Return to Origin Energy!

Qilin Arms!

When you add up his comprehensive strength, he could be called invincible within the Innate Realm!

Lin Beifan was extremely excited and happy: After striving for so long, it has not been in vain! Now, I can be considered as invincible under the Grandmasters! Haha!

Three days later, Chai Yuxin, An Lushan, and others led the great army back to report their mission.

They returned with a large amount of food, gold, silver, and jewels, with a total value exceeding 50 million taels of silverfilling the national treasury.

War, indeed, is the best business!

Emperor Lin Beifan was overjoyed and proceeded to reward his ministers for their accomplishments: Both ministers have done well! It is a fortune for the nation to have you. I hereby confer the title of Earl on General An Lushan, titled as Defender of the State, and reward him with 10,000 taels of silver!

I confer the title of Earl on General Chai Yuxin, to be known as the Earl of Fengwu, and reward her with 10,000 taels of silver!

General Shi Siming has also performed admirably, promoted one rank and rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver!

All other officers are promoted one rank and rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver each!

For the other soldiers, a reward of one tael of silver! For those who have fallen, issue a pension of five taels of silver to each of their families!

Those who have performed exceptionally, report to me, and I shall grant them great rewards!

The crowd rejoiced, Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous grace!

The civil and military officials all looked on with envy and jealousy at this group of military commanders.

Indeed, going to war is the quickest way to gain promotion and wealth.

Look at these generals; after just a few battles, they have all been ennobled.

Of course, the one who has profited the most is still Lin Beifan.

The wealth that had visibly increased was already in the tens of millions.

The wealth amassed in secret had long since surpassed a hundred million.

After the rewards were distributed, Lin Beifan continued, After this battle, our Xia Kingdom can be said to have made a formidable impression in all directions, securing a relatively long period of peace. Next, we must focus on production, developing the livelihood of the people and the economy! However, our countrys territory is too small, which greatly hinders our development! General An, I want you to lead our troops and extend our national border two hundred li to the north!

An Lushan looked up, surprised, and said, Your Majesty, if we extend to the north, that would mean encroaching upon the lands of the An Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom!

Lin Beifan declared with an imposing air, Exactly, I intend to take a bite out of their territory! If they dare to make a move, I dare to strike!

At that moment, An Lushan felt somewhat intimidated and quickly bowed his head, As you command, Your Majesty!

The officials felt the same way; they had no doubt about Lin Beifans determination because he truly was capable of following through.

It wasnt the first or second time he had done such things.

In this battle, our forces suffered significant losses, so we need to replenish our troops! Now, with our national treasury full and plenty of food supplies, lets increase our forces to 800,000! This task shall be assigned to

Your Majesty, please allow me to undertake this task. I assure you that I will complete it successfully! An Lushan quickly interjected.

Lin Beifan was taken aback: General An, you are to be stationed in the north

Your Majesty, I can recruit soldiers locally! An Lushan said.

I see! Lin Beifan understood.

In this world, everyone categorizes nations according to their strength into four tiers: small kingdoms, great kingdoms, dynasties, and empires.

There isnt a very clear division between the different levels of nations, nor is there any mandatory requirement.

Even if you are a small kingdom, you can still call yourself an empire.

Of course, most emperors are rather concerned about their image.

A nation is categorized into the tier that corresponds to its actual status.

As for the current situation of the Xia Kingdom, it could be ranked among the small kingdoms or among the great kingdomsit mainly depends on their own perspective.

Lin Beifan decided to refer to the opinion of Empire Sandbox.

Empire Sandbox, is the Xia Kingdom considered a great kingdom now?

Ding! No! According to the game rules, only when a countrys comprehensive national power exceeds 1000 does it enter the ranks of great kingdoms!

So thats how it is! Lin Beifan nodded slightly.

Ding! At the same time, several basic conditions must also be met!

What basic conditions? Lin Beifan wondered internally.

The Territorial Area must exceed 600,000 square kilometers!

Domestic Resources surpass 120 million taels!

Population surpasses 6 million!

Military Strength surpasses 600,000, and at the same time, one must possess 6 Innate individuals!

Once these conditions are all met, the nation will be promoted to a great kingdom! At the same time, the Empire Sandbox will also be upgraded, unlocking more game features!

Lin Beifan fell into deep thought.

These basic requirements, in fact, are to ensure that his nation has no weaknesses, achieving balanced development.

Breaking through 600,000 square miles of territorial area was not difficult for him.

After An Lushan had seized those territories, the territorial area essentially reached 600,000 square miles.

Surpassing a population of 6 million was within reach; he currently had a population of 5 million, only 1 million short, but that was also not a problem.

Because after expanding the territory, the people of the Shang and An nations would be converted into his populace.

Breaking through 120 million taels in domestic resources had already been achieved.

Surpassing a military strength of 600,000 was currently short of people, but it would soon be replenished.

Therefore, for him, the biggest issue was the Innate master.

The Xia Kingdom currently has only three Innates, still lacking three.

Innate masters, as the powerhouses of the current age, are not lacking in strength, wealth, or status and power; to think of bribing them is easier said than done.

Moreover, he is now just a small kingdom, making it even harder to attract them.
