In reality.
Shapudian has already become a dish in the bowl of Eastern Great Xia.
Everyone with keen eyes can see that, in a few years, Shapudian's 860,000 square kilometers of land will be completely incorporated into Great Xia's territory and become part of the Great Xia People.
Of the remaining 72 million people in Shapudian, they will inevitably become a reservoir of human resources for the Great Xia People to draw from at will.
The Great Xia Civil Affairs Bureau has an unpublished statistic — as of last month, 580,000 Shapudian women have already married Great Xia People.
This is nearly 0.8% of Shapudian's population.
It is also the result of the "Great Xia Bride Plan."
And most of the Great Xia People who married Shapudian women are older men who had difficulty finding wives in the past.
Cases like "a thirty-something rascal marrying a teenage girl" are commonplace.
