Zhao Yuqing's war with gods ended very simply. The Shenqi Kingdom did not gain much advantage, and the other country did not suffer many casualties. It lasted for a month and ended with a one-year peace period.

Zhao Yuqing gained thousands of productivity, and the Kingdom of the King gained stability and peace.

This is the case in most battles in the early stages of the War of Gods. The gods also need to take the college entrance examination. Unless they are absolutely sure or have a very great opportunity, no god will waste their productivity on the War of Gods.

The benefits of the God War are too little compared to those copies. It is irrational to spend money on the God War without the possibility of obtaining the subordinate gods.

Development is the bottom line before the college entrance examination. As for the training of soldiers, there are many ways to do it, and there is no need to spend a lot of energy on brutal wars.

War consumes productivity, especially for the spiritual race of the gods. Productivity is basically concentrated in the soldiers. As long as the main army suffers heavy casualties, the productivity of the kingdom of God will be greatly reduced.

Many times, gods still love peace. This is a choice based on interests, but this kind of peace is a bit cheap.

Zhao Yuqing is back, and the Yan Kingdom, or rather the entire Divine Realm, is about to celebrate the New Year.

The Divine Realm Year is the standard commemorative unit in the Divine Realm, and the Yan Kingdom also has its own calendar system, which determines that the Yan Kingdom has two years, and these two years are concentrated in the period from winter to spring.

Influenced by other neighboring countries, the most important festival for the Yan people gradually shifted to the Divine Realm Year, and the year marked with Duan Tianming's name was placed second.

This is a product of the development of the times. The Divine Realm Year is the common spiritual bond that can better unify the entire Divine Realm. In comparison, the local culture of Yan Country has received less attention.

People who have just integrated into Yan Country obviously identify more with this shared festival, but the identification with the festival is different from the identification with the custom.

Duan Tianming did not attach much importance to dates. As for the issue of attaching importance to the reign title as mentioned in the court, he also considered it and took many related measures, but they could only maintain the status of Yan State New Year as the second largest festival.

After all, the local population is less than one twentieth of the total population and less than one percent of the entire Central Plains population.

Correspondingly, the influence of the festival has become weaker.

Of course, the weakness of the festivals in its own era does not mean that Yan State’s assimilation ability has decreased. Although the importance of the festivals has changed, the related customs have been unified.

Firecrackers and couplets appeared, and various legends spread from the Yanwang Palace to the entire Central Plains, including the Shenqi Kingdom. The influence of this custom was brought about by economic strength and also by Duan Tianming.

Finally, this beautiful winter night arrived. The city of Yuqing was decorated with lights and Duan Tianming was lighting a fire in the square of the central temple.

The Yan people surrounded the square so tightly that no one could get in or out. Everyone looked expectantly at the torch in Duan Tianming's hand.

After Zhao Yuqing completed the divine descent, she sat on the altar of the temple and looked at Duan Tianming silently.

"Three, two, one!"

"put!"

Duan Tianming shouted and lit the fuse in front of him. The fire gradually burned out and the fireworks bloomed.

This was the first firework in the entire God-Forsaken Continent. This firework illuminated the entire Yuqing City as bright as day. The people around cheered, and the cheers spread throughout the expanded square. A sense of happiness filled everyone's heart.

Fireworks exploded at the same time, and a vague word "Yan" appeared in the sky. This word "Yan" illuminated the long-forgotten God-abandoned Continent. Perhaps it was a rising star.

"Grandpa, I know, that's Yan."

A child held the old man's hand and pointed to the sky as if to show off that he could read too.

"Yes, that is Yan, the name of our Yan Country."

The old man wiped his tears. He had never seen or imagined such a scene before. It was a feeling of hope.

"Alas, when we were in Jin, we could only often hear storytellers talk about how great Yan Country was. Now I see that it is indeed true."

"Yes! Since I moved to Yuqing City, I have never gone hungry, and my grandson can go to school now."

The old man touched his grandson's head and a happy smile appeared on his face.

This kind of smile is what Duan Tianming wants to see, and it is also what Zhao Yuqing wants to see.

"Don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Duan Tianming asked Zhao Yuqing, who was sitting on the altar, with some confusion, "It's already the New Year, and you're still staying in Yan Country."

"I've seen it, they are performing a ritual to worship the gods."

Zhao Yuqing held her head up in boredom, as if the sacrificial activities had nothing to do with her.

"Those are your true believers!"

Duan Tianming sighed a little, as it seemed that he had not offered sacrifices to the gods for more than a year.

"Indeed, but there are still some differences between the clan and the people."

Zhao Yuqing looked at the Yan people who were watching the fireworks show in front of her, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yes, the clan is the clan, and the people are the people. Perhaps the two can be combined into one."

Duan Tianming sighed.

He didn't know what to say.

The army of Yan State has begun to participate in training. This training mainly focuses on the training of military branch cards. The 5k pine wood cannon soldiers who originally participated in the training have completed the training, but the relevant wood for the pine wood cannon has just been found, and only samples have been developed. It will take some time to truly achieve mass production.

However, compared to the pine wood cannon with some spiritual power, the artillery of Yan State has indeed been researched. With the help of the current artillery technology of the Great Ming Divine Kingdom and combined with the research and development of the technicians themselves, the current artillery technology is still quite distinctive.

Although the recoil is very strong and it is not suitable for mountain warfare, and has many problems compared to pine wood cannons, fortunately it can be mass-produced, and it can be regarded as a weapon for newly trained artillerymen.

Of course, it will take some time to fully equip 5k pinewood cannon soldiers. At present, it is still necessary to transfer the gradually expanding iron production capacity to a certain extent and gradually expand the output of artillery and artillery shells.

The advantage of being backed by the mountains is reflected in industrial development. The relatively abundant mineral resources temporarily meet Yan State's current needs for iron smelting and saltpeter mining. The human and animal power invested in mineral mining has gradually increased, which has also expanded the scale of mineral mining to a certain extent.

However, traditional mining methods cannot last long, and the development and application of steam engines in mining is imperative.

In addition to the army of the firearms age, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which represents the peak cavalry of the feudal era, was also trained. The main source of the 8,000-strong army was the most outstanding soldiers who came to participate in the training.

With the help of snow horses and the effects of troop cards, this army is likely to be the main troop of Yan State for a long time in the future.
