Pingliang was one of the important towns in the northwest of Ming Dynasty.
Since ancient times, it had been a barrier for Sanqin and a strategic town that controlled the Five Plains. It was a battleground for military strategists.
From Zhu Rong's fief to Pingliang, the group had walked for a total of seven days.
After all, Pingliang was in Shaanxi, while Zhu Xi's fief was in Suzhou, which was far away.
However, these seven days were a little unsettling for Zhu Rong.
Ever since the system descended.
Zhu Rong had been studying his own system.
From the first day he had checked in, the system had rewarded him with 100 subjects and one point.
Then, not long after, the convoy encountered a group of commoners.
There were exactly 100 of them.
He said he was here to seek refuge with Zhu Rong.
These people were naturally the subjects that the system had rewarded to Zhu Xiong.
Therefore, Zhu Xiong inquired about these 100 subjects one by one.
However, after a series of inquiries.
Zhu Xiong realized that these subjects were actually very ordinary.
It could even be said that it was extremely ordinary.
He didn't have any special abilities, nor did he have any amazing martial arts.
All of them were honest ordinary people.
This made Zhu Xiong very disappointed.
He let this subject follow him in his team.
Then, the next day.
A notification sounded.
However, the reward was different from the first time.
This time, the system rewarded 200 people with two points.
Soon, two hundred commoners came to seek refuge with him.
These 200 commoners were still very ordinary.
On the third day, another 100 people were rewarded with one point.
Thus, another 300 people came to seek refuge.
On the fourth day, four hundred people, four points.
On the fifth day, five hundred people, five points.
And so on.
When Zhu Xiong and his group arrived at Pingliang.
Zhu Xiong now had an additional 2,800 people under him.
These 2,800 people were men and women, all of them young and strong.
The ratio was equal, 1,400 men and 1,400 women.
Furthermore, they all obeyed Zhu Rong's orders.
All of this was naturally seen by Eunuch Wang, who was accompanying him.
Eunuch Wang was actually a little surprised.
However, he did not think too much about it.
He thought that these people were all arranged by Zhu Xiong.
It was normal for a prince to have his own trusted aides and subordinates.
It would be even better to arrange some of his own people around him.
Moreover, Eunuch Wang could tell at a glance that these people were ordinary people and there was nothing special about them.
If one really wanted to nitpick, one could only say that these commoners were all very young. They were all young men and women.
However, what could this prove?
As someone who served Old Zhu all year round, Eunuch Wang did not think that any of Old Zhu's sons were easy to deal with.
Even a prince who looked harmless like Zhu Rong.
It was just arranging for some commoners. What big deal could it be?
But in these seven days, Zhu Rong discovered something terrifying.
That was, if he did not clock in, the reward would increase by one point for 100 people every day.
Zhu Xiong had no idea what points could do.
However, the 100 people that were added every day made Zhu Xiong feel extremely pressured.
Although the people and subjects rewarded by the system were only loyal to him, they did not need a salary or money to support them.
However, these subjects were also normal people. They had to eat, drink, and defecate.
It didn't seem like a lot to add a hundred people every day.
If the reward only lasted for a few days, it would be fine.
If the reward continued to increase for a month, Zhu Xiong would reluctantly accept it.
However, what if it continued to grow like this for a year, or even ten years, or even decades?
Just thinking about it made Zhu Rong's scalp tingle.
Zhu Xiong calculated.
A hundred people a day meant forty-six thousand five hundred people in a month.
In a year, there are more than 6.6 million people
In two years, there would be a population of more than 26 million.
In three years, it would be 60 million people.
It was even more than Da Ming's current total population.
In ten years, his subjects would directly exceed 600 million.
If Zhu Xiong was given 50 years, wouldn't the Earth's population break through 15 billion?
This was only the basic value of the system reward.
If one counted the growth rate of the population in the past 50 years.
Zhu Xiong couldn't help but shiver.
It was probably three to four times more than the total population of Earth in the future.
How was this a system reward? It was a population crisis!
With the productivity of the current era.
Don't wait fifty years.
In just three years, Great Ming would be in chaos.
If this continued, the increase in food would definitely not be as fast as the system rewards.
In three years, he had increased the population of Great Ming by 60 million for no reason. What kind of concept was this?
Zhu Rong was completely flustered.
What should he do!
