Chapter 412 Low-key development
"One million people? Is it a lot?" Wang Lang asked rhetorically.

"This... I feel that there are as many people in Great Xia as there are stars in the sky." Lin Huo cupped his hands and said.

"Oh, there are as many stars as stars!"

Having lived in modern society for more than ten years, he knows what it means to have a population as large as an ox hair. The current population of Xia Kingdom is not even compared with the modern society of another world, even the ancient Chinese thousands of years ago.

A population of 100 million is not even as large as the population of several counties.

Wang Lang knew very well in his heart that even though Xia Guo now had muskets and cannons, this kind of technological advantage was not overwhelming, and the dinosaurs were not fools. After so many years of development, the same clans were still fighting each other. Even in the era of cold weapons, If human beings are arrogant and think that they are the boss of the world, they will not be far from extinction.

Lin Huo frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"How many years have we known each other?" Wang Lang asked suddenly.

Lin Huo thought for a while, and said, "According to the Da Xia calendar, I have known Your Majesty for almost sixteen or seventeen years."

"Sixteen or seventeen years, so many years." Wang Lang smiled.

Lin Huo nodded and said: "Time flies, His Majesty is getting old, and so is my subject."

"Our original tribe consisted of only a dozen people. It has been more than ten years, and now it has a population of 100 million. Among them, there are almost 10,000+ children born after the founding of the Xia Kingdom!" Wang Lang asked.

"This... It should be about the same. There is no shortage of food in Daxia. As long as a family of two is not lazy and works hard to farm, it will be no problem to support four or five children to adulthood. Counting the years of illness and death, there are almost so many people. It's gone." Lin Huo said slowly.

"After so many years of hard work, we only have so few people. In our Xia Kingdom, cities are far away from each other. During this period, a large area of ​​land was idle. We don't have the energy to initiate wars. Our current state can only In a defensive war, I will not exchange the precious lives of the subjects of the Xia Kingdom for a moment of happiness." Wang Lang said seriously.

"Your Majesty, the Dinosaur Army is no match for our Xia Kingdom. A demonstration by our warships will boost the morale of the people's army." Lin Huo said excitedly.

"Can this affect morale? The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the continuous development of military strength is the foundation of a country. The conflict with the dinosaurs is about comprehensive national strength. For us, what is comprehensive national strength, money, food, population, weapons level, Combat capability, these things are indispensable, I still have the same saying, when the Xia Kingdom can occupy the entire mainland of China, it will have the ability to expand outward."

Lin Huo sat down on the chair slumped, without saying a word.

Wang Lang glanced at him and said: "Since the dinosaurs want to visit us, let them come. If it is Shi Lunjia who wants to talk about it, we will extort a fortune. If it is not Shi Lunjia, we can take advantage of it." Taking this opportunity to establish a relationship with this country, if possible, I would like to send an envoy to contact them, and I would like to know what is going on with the dinosaurs."

Lin Huo cupped his hands helplessly and said, "I understand."

Wang Lang smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry about it, let's do this. The matter of Wang Lan and Jian Ya's eldest son has been settled. As an uncle, you should think about what gift to give. "

Lin Huo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Jian Ya is really lucky. A beautiful girl like Lan has given his son a cheap price, but I feel a bit at a loss."

"It's good that the two children are satisfied. That child is not bad. He is already a general at such a young age. He is one level higher than yours."

The corner of Lin Huo's mouth twitched, he was very annoyed that his son was crushed by Lin Jianya's family, because of this, Lin Huo's son could be said to be very afraid of his father.

"Your Majesty laughed at those two unsatisfactory children." Lin Huo said with a wry smile.

"Your son is one of the outstanding young people, so you don't have to criticize them too much. I heard that your second son plans to be a civil servant. How are you preparing now?" Wang Lang asked.

Lin Huo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Your dishonorable son has been studying at home these days and is preparing to take the next exam."

"That's right, the Lin family has one article and one martial arts. In the future history books, your Lin Huo's bloodline will also take up a lot of weight."

Lin Huo smiled and said, "Thanks to His Majesty for a good word."

Wang Lang waved his hand and said, "The visit of the dinosaurs is not a military issue. I will announce who will be in charge at the court meeting tomorrow."

Lin Huo nodded and said, "In that case, the minister will retire."

Wang Lang had never thought about diplomacy before, and there was no need to think about it before.

The arrival of the dinosaur man this time reminded him that he planned to hand over the matter to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate with the dinosaur man.

While the bigwigs from the DPRK and China were discussing how to deal with these visiting dinosaurs, Niulu and others, who had been under house arrest on Penglai Island for more than half a month, did not have the slightest awareness of becoming prisoners.

It is deeply curious about the people of Xia Kingdom, and carefully observes the way of life of people.

Although this small island is only a military stronghold of human beings, the standard of living of human beings can be seen to some extent through the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these soldiers.

After such a long period of observation, Newru found that the abundance of human resources far exceeded his imagination.

I don't know how much supplies are stored in this stronghold, and the meals of ordinary soldiers make it feel quite luxurious.

Every time he fires, Newru can smell the smell of meat, which is unimaginable in his country and even in the entire Old World.

"De Habola, the humans here look very rich!"

"Indeed, you can see that their morale is high and their armor is neat. It just looks like this, and it is indeed much stronger than most countries."

"My brother, you and I have been to the East for so many years, and we have seen the civilization there, and now we have come to the West, what a wonderful thing, this world is really amazing, three different intelligent races, different civilization, I can’t wait to see what kind of sparks will be created.”

"Nuru, are you too optimistic? Those guys in the east are not friendly. They are powerful and cruel. I don't think the Old Continent is their opponent at all. If we were not lucky at that time, we would probably have been killed by them. "

"This is the joy of adventure, Dehapora, you should enjoy this process, life is too short, we should live it more excitingly." Newru said excitedly.
