Super God: Rise of Civilization.

Therefore, it is necessary to make backup plans for the scorching sun in advance.

"Warship?"

Yang Yu immediately fell silent. Sell the warship to the Lieyang Civilization?

The Empire's fourth-generation warships are nearing completion, which means that the second-generation warships will soon be phased out of the Empire's military.

Unexpectedly, Pan Zhen came to take over.

It can not only be used to exchange for resources, but also to deal with warships that are about to be decommissioned from the military.

Isn't this great?

"I still need to discuss this matter with the ministers of the cabinet. I cannot grant General Pan Zhen's request for the time being."

Yang Yu finally gave this answer.

Pan Zhen left the imperial palace of the Star Empire in disappointment.

After all, sending Lieyang to develop warships would be a very long process for the already battered Lieyang.

Why is it that Lieyang's population is only around one billion?

"Please summon the cabinet ministers to the Imperial Study. I have something to discuss with them."

"promise."

……

The cabinet ministers were very quick.

Upon receiving the news that the emperor had summoned them, they immediately put down their work and went to the imperial study.

"My esteemed ministers, what are your views on Lieyang's establishment of diplomatic relations?"

He looked at the ministers present and asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that diplomatic relations between the Empire and Lieyang are beneficial and harmless."

"The Sun is nearly 10 billion light-years away from our Star Empire, and we have no conflict of interest."

"And the subsequent development of the empire was basically within the Origin River System."

"It is anticipated that the Empire will not have any conflicts of interest with civilizations in the universe within the next thousand years, so establishing diplomatic relations with the Lieyang Civilization is also a good option."

Prime Minister Long Zhi immediately expressed his views and opinions, mainly because he felt that Pan Zhen did not have an arrogant attitude.

"The empire has no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends. I also think that the Prime Minister's words are not without reason."

"Your subject agrees."

"Your subject agrees."

The ministers expressed their opinions one by one, and they generally approved of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Lieyang Civilization and the Lieyang Civilization.

The future development of the empire will all take place within the river system, and will not expand outwards.

How the universe wages war is none of their business, the Star Empire.

Unless you're tired of living and dare to provoke the Star Empire.

"Then, Minister Xu, please take this opportunity to work hard. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Lieyang Civilization will require your full attention."

"Since their regent has come in person to establish diplomatic relations, we must not tarnish the dignity of the empire."

Seeing that so many ministers agreed, Yang Yu looked at Foreign Minister Xu Wen beside him.

"promise."

The Foreign Minister bowed to accept the order and returned to his seat.

"Next, there's the matter of Lieyang wanting to purchase warships from our empire. What are your thoughts on that?"

Next.

Yang Yu brought up Pan Zhen's idea of ​​buying warships.

"Your Majesty, no! Warships are vital national assets; how can we so easily sell them to the Blazing Sun Civilization?"

"What if they use our empire's warships to decipher our codes? Wouldn't that be detrimental to us?"

The Education Minister immediately stood up from his seat to object.

How can such vital national assets be sold?

"Your Majesty, I agree to sell the warships to the Blazing Sun Civilization."

"The Imperial Treasury is already approving funds for the Imperial military industry to expand the Imperial military port."

"The Empire's fourth-generation warships and fourth-generation motherships are nearing completion and will soon enter formal service."

"We can sell the second-generation warships and second-generation motherships to Lieyang, which will alleviate the financial strain while also curbing Lieyang's development."

At this moment, Finance Minister Ouyang stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness.

"Selling second-generation warships and second-generation motherships to Lieyang would alleviate the pressure on the Empire's finances and also curb Lieyang's development?"

Are you getting senile?

The Justice Minister looked at the Finance Minister, Ouyang, with suspicion. "Are you sure you're not just daydreaming?"

"Selling the second-generation warships and second-generation motherships to Lieyang will inevitably cost them countless resources if they want to study them."

"By the time they decipher the technology of the second-generation warships and are able to develop them, will our empire's fifth-generation warships be nearing completion?"

"We're selling warships, not technology. Can't you even understand that?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer rolled his eyes at the Justice Secretary. "Are you studying legal issues all day long, to the point that you can't even process them properly?"

"Your Majesty, I agree with the Minister of Finance's idea, but the price should be 10% higher than the factory price, and they can only buy the fleet, not individual ships."

The Education Minister curled into a strange smile.

I only sell fleets, not individual items. Do you want one?

If you don't want it, then forget it.

Hearing the whispers of the group, Yang Yu's lips twitched incessantly.

Even Secretary-General Lin Xin had dark lines appearing on her forehead.

You guys are plotting to slaughter the Lieyang Civilization like pigs.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, Yang Yu tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention, and said:

"Whether you sell the warships individually or as a fleet, I can ignore it."

"But next, there are big things concerning the empire."

"No one can afford to be complacent about this matter, especially you few."

"If you are negligent in what I am about to say, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"That is the development of the empire, which is inextricably linked to the population."

"Is it reasonable for an empire that controls the river system to have a population of only close to 500 billion? I think it is very unreasonable."

Chapter 120 [Leading by Example]

"Your Majesty, this is indeed unreasonable, but we cannot force citizens to have children!"

"An empire that respects human rights."

The Minister of Justice nodded in agreement with the Emperor's statement, saying that with such a vast territory, a population of only 500 billion was simply a drop in the ocean.

However, the Imperial Code contains explicit rules.

Citizens enjoy their due obligations.

Even the emperor has no right to deprive others of the rights and freedoms they deserve.

Even the emperor had to abide by the Imperial Code.

If even the emperor doesn't abide by the Imperial Code, who will?

Of course, the emperor's adherence to the Imperial Code was practically meaningless, but at least in such matters, the emperor could not force the will of his citizens.

"If Your Majesty is to force citizens to reproduce, I suggest that Your Majesty should set an example by doing so."

The Minister of Justice pondered for a moment before speaking.

Only if Your Majesty sets an example can you force the citizens of the Empire to reproduce.

Look, His Majesty the Emperor has set an example by his own actions. Do you want to disobey His Majesty's will?

"I suggest that Your Majesty should set an example by yourself."

The Prime Minister and others looked at His Majesty the Emperor and indicated that they agreed with the Minister of Justice's proposal.

Yang Yu: ...

"Why use coercive measures to encourage citizens to have children?"

"The fourth-generation super soldier serum has been successfully tested. Does this mean that the Empire can now distribute the first-generation super soldier serum to its citizens?"

"Isn't it a good idea to use the lure of super soldier serum to encourage Imperial citizens to reproduce?"

Yang Yu looked at the group of ministers in front of him, feeling helpless.

Every now and then, she would subtly entice him, even deliberately selecting exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and talented women to work in the Imperial Secretariat.

Is it because they're afraid he'll suddenly die and the empire will collapse?

“Your Majesty, this expenditure is quite large. The empire’s finances have been under great pressure in recent years. The empire has nearly 500 billion citizens. If the super soldier serum is used to train all of them, the fiscal expenditure will face an unprecedented challenge.”

"At the same time, it will also lead to instability in imperial society, and even cause security problems."

Finance Minister Ou Yang immediately refuted His Majesty the Emperor's words.

The widespread availability of the Super Soldier Serum would put significant strain on public finances.

It could also lead to problems with the empire's security.

Increased financial investment will also be required for security measures.
