The empire grew stronger day by day, and its territory became more and more extensive, and the number of citizens increased day by day, but at the same time, it brought more problems to deal with.

As for the human trafficking, it seems that the only way to stop the trade in human beings is to enact and enforce the corresponding laws of the Empire, but the resistance to doing so is so great that the ministers believe that it should be postponed.

As for the automatic formation of classes by the people in China, everyone has given a lot of suggestions.

Encouraging intermarriage between all classes can slowly break down this invisible barrier, so that the concept of class disappears imperceptibly, the disadvantage is that it takes a long time and is not easy to implement.

Recruit a large number of soldiers from the bottom of the people, because the empire has greatly improved the status of soldiers since the founding of the country, so after there is a soldier in the family who fights for the country, the status of the whole family will rise accordingly, eliminating discrimination from other classes.

Set up some low-level typical figures, use newspapers to hype up, let the people of the empire know the contribution of prisoners of war in the labor camps to the empire, as well as the difficult conditions of these foreign refugees in their own country, and arouse the sympathy of the people, etc.

And Defense Minister Ruda has put forward a feasible method that can be implemented quickly, that is, to start a war.

There are two sides to everything, and so is war.

There are many disadvantages of war, such as the great destruction of infrastructure, economy, civilization; slowing down social processes; inflict huge casualties on both sides of the enemy; Planting the roots of hatred between races and nations can also lead to large numbers of homeless refugees, leaving barren land, and so on.

However, these disadvantages are not a problem for the empire, because the current civilization of these countries around the empire can be said to be unique, but it is definitely not advanced, and there is not much infrastructure and land in these countries that can be destroyed, and the empire, which is in dire need of population, will not let the refugees starve to death.

And war is even more beneficial for the Empire.

The armaments and weapons of the empire were constantly updated, especially in times of war, which showed that war did have the role of promoting scientific and technological progress.

Strengthen the quality of citizens: Temper the people in terms of patriotism, fighting spirit, physical fitness, cultural quality and other aspects

War can greatly stimulate the competition in the empire, whether it is the peripheral industries of the military industry, or the various materials consumed in the war, it can promote the development of related industries to a certain extent, and if the war is finally won, this effect may be more obvious.

The most important thing is that war can strengthen the spiritual quality of the people and temper the people in terms of patriotism, fighting spirit, physical fitness, cultural quality, and other aspects.

In addition, war can attract the attention of the people at home, increase the pride of the people, and if used a little, those heroes who appear in the war can also be recognized and worshiped by the people more quickly.

Compared with methods such as encouraging intermarriage, Ruda's war stimulus method is more realistic and efficient, and it can be combined with the recruitment of a large number of low-level soldiers.

Now that Li Nan and most of the cabinet ministers have approved of this plan, the next step is to determine the target of the attack.

Ruda stood up and walked over to the huge map hanging behind Li Nan, pointing to the southernmost neighboring country of the empire--- the Zhenla Empire!

"There are many benefits to choosing the Chenla Empire."

Luda explained to everyone: "The lord of the Zhenla Empire led 170,000 war elephants to attack the Battle of Shanluo, and then the lord of the country was killed, and the two leading generals Marato and Godanwei secretly surrendered and signed the "Shanluo Secret Treaty".

After these two Zhenla generals returned to China, they both established themselves as kings, divided the Zhenla Empire into two, and attacked each other from time to time, making the life of the people of Zhenla miserable.

As the so-called snipe and clam are fighting, the strength of both sides is constantly depleting, and the people are also alienated from them, so the staff thinks that the plan to conquer the Zhenla Empire will become very easy. ”

"I'll add." The director of the intelligence bureau, Varys, said: "Before I go to war, I can leak the "Treaty of Yamalomi" signed between Marato and Godanwe and our country, so that the people of Zhenla can know the true colors of these two people, and clear the matter of the empire sending people to assassinate the original lord of Zhenla, it is estimated that it will improve the popular orientation of this war." ”

Li Nan saw that all the ministers agreed to this matter, and immediately said, "Okay! It seems that the time has come to bring the Zhenla Empire into the arms of the Empire. ”

"In that case, let's go down and prepare. The soldiers who attacked Chenla this time were composed as much as possible of foreign immigrants who had joined the empire, freed prisoners of war and Han Chinese north of the Yellow River. ”

As soon as the Emperor and the Cabinet of the Empire decided on this, the vast state apparatus began to work at an accelerated pace.

In today's empire, soldiers are more important than others in all trades, followed by farmers, workers, and merchants.

Moreover, after joining the imperial army, the treatment is very generous, in addition to the military salary in peacetime, there are subsidies in wartime, family members will enjoy preferential treatment in all aspects, and there are high pensions provided by the empire for injuries and deaths.

Because of this, compulsory conscription is still being carried out in other countries, and in the Chinese Empire, being a soldier has become a profession that countless young people envy.

As soon as the conscription order came out, countless people flocked to the registration offices in various places, and the largest number were those at the bottom of the society, because they themselves wanted to improve their status and their families by serving as soldiers, so as to live a proud life in the empire.

A large number of qualified soldiers were sent to Jiaozhi Province, and the commander of this new imperial legion, Li Nan, handpicked Yue Fei, who had great potential.

While the recruitment process was in full swing, the palace dormitory was full of laughter.

It seems that these two little princesses have inherited the aggressive nature of their parents, and the little girls who have grown up a lot ride on their father's back, galloping on the thick carpet, they keep laughing loudly, and Pang Qiuxia and Hu Bing, who are standing on the side, protect their daughters from falling, and their pretty faces are also full of smiles.

Li Nan's physical strength is very good, so he doesn't know how tired he is playing with his daughter, and he didn't stop until the figure of the female fox Mary appeared in the dormitory.

"Urgent?" Hu Bing asked.

"Yes." Mary the female fox shook the two copies of the fold in her hand and nodded.

Pang Qiuxia came to Li Nan's side, held her baby daughter in her arms, and said to the little girl who was reluctant to leave the horse: "Good, your father is going to do something, come down quickly." ”

The two daughters were taken away by their respective mothers, and Li Nan took the fold and opened it to see that it was a report from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and the Military Department.
