In the brightly lit hall, Emperor Xuan Yi accepted the tea handed to him by his attendant.
"It seems Chen Xing's recent move has been quite big, frightening many people. A lot of the forces that have been cooperating with us have been asking about our stance," Emperor Xuan Yi said with a shake of his head and a wry smile.
Emperor Xuan Yi turned his head towards Zhao Rui, "How is the progress in the Fentian region now?"
"It has been basically brought under control, and the situation is stable." Zhao Rui placed a bound file on the table, "We have roughly estimated the population at about 1.23 billion people, but that's just the population within Giant City and the major cities. If we include the wilderness and the scattered remote tribes, the total number of people in the Fentian region should exceed 1.3 billion."
Emperor Xuan Yi nodded; this was a potential new population base that was not inferior to Great Xia.
