Although Duan Tianming appeared to be quite kind on the surface, he managed the distance in his words very well.

He understood that it was completely impossible for him to be with these noble children. Not to mention that he was not attracted to the girl, even if he was really attracted to her, he would have to consider the issue of class.

His goal is to gradually transform Luonan and even the entire God-Forsaken Continent into a collective model like the Yan Kingdom. This is bound to cause serious conflict with these martial nobles and ordinary human nobles. If he has a relationship with a woman of the aristocratic class now, he will inevitably be restricted when implementing various systems in the future.

"It seems I have to report this to the top leaders of Yan Country as well."

He thought to himself that this was a very serious problem. If the Yan State was eroded by these nobles in the future, or even formed into a whole, then the internal reforms he would implement next would inevitably be restricted.

His goal for the entire Luonan area was very clear, which was to first infiltrate economically and culturally, and then integrate militarily. After firmly controlling the army, he would first resolve the external pressure, then expand the base, and then carry out strong internal reforms or revolutions.

This interconnected chess game does not allow any mistakes, and now, women will become one of the mistakes.

December 1st. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and nearly two months had passed since Yan and Shenqi had been tormenting the poor Luonan nations. Finally, the rulers of the Luonan nations had arrived.

The Luonan area is located in the north and has a typical temperate monsoon climate. It will naturally snow a little in winter. The entire Lake Saisuo is sealed by snow, which looks very beautiful.

Duan Tianming was wandering around the city wall by the lake. Outside, there were rows of farmlands covered in snow. A group of people, who were either slaves or farmers, were working there. This kind of labor was carried out regardless of the weather.

"What are you building?"

Duan Tianming felt sorry for these poorly dressed people and stepped forward to ask them.

"Your Excellency, we are building an observation deck. The princess loves to come to the lakeside to enjoy the view, so the king arranged for us to build it here during the winter when there is no farming."

A man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and said.

"It's so cold..."

Duan Tianming hesitated to speak.

This is the sadness of the times. He knew that even in such weather, there were still countless people doing labor outside. These labors were not paid at all, and they even had to bring their own food and clothing.

After returning to the city wall, Duan Tianming arranged for a stop and provided some food and clothing to these people, and then continued to prepare his own meeting draft.

This contradiction cannot be resolved overnight. It requires using a knife to scrape off the trees that are rotten inside but shiny outside, piece by piece, and also prevent the big trees from falling.

This kind of thing is the norm throughout the divine realm. According to Zhao Yuqing, the most advanced systems in Duan Tianming's concept are feudalism and theocracy, and even democracy and republic have not been realized.

In the eyes of those nobles, and even in the eyes of those common people, doing labor service was just a very normal thing. Some people would even say that this king was diligent and loved his people, and that that princess was beautiful.

But Duan Tianming would not and could not see it that way. When the princess liked to watch the seaside, she might still be innocent and kind, but when her father arranged for laborers to be responsible for her hobby, she was no longer the same kind of person as Duan Tianming.

This is not her fault, it is the fault of her position. This kind of mistake would have been impossible long ago.

····

Duan Tianming returned to the conference room with mixed feelings. This time he was not thinking about the princess, but the one watching from the sky. Was she on the same side as him?

Now they have common interests and common major contradictions to face, so the two can be safe and sound, and they also have the basis for everything to happen.

But Duan Tianming knew very well that this kind of cooperation was a special product of the consistency of the main contradictions, and this decision would not always be the case. If Yan Country wanted to achieve true independence, it had to break all the oppression of the gods. Even Zhao Yuqing's compromising cooperation was the result of a special product. It was still unknown how the future would develop.

"Your Majesty, all response plans have been prepared, and the rulers of all the nations that have survived the destruction are in place."

Zhang Yun came up to report that he was fully responsible for this matter.

"Okay, let's start the meeting tomorrow."

Although we are now in the country of Sais, the initiative of the meeting is still in the hands of the Yan country. The demise of many countries in a few months has made one fact clear to these monarchs - we are the fish on the chopping board and others are the butchers.

Those who can become kings are all smart people. They understand that the Yan Kingdom has the power to destroy them, and the barbarians also have the power to destroy them. As long as they dare to disobey, the butcher's knife will be placed on the neck of him and his country.

As for the joint resistance, no one would come up with such an idea at this time. Those who speculated could not find evidence, so they dared not speak nonsense. They could only be more frightened. Those who did not speculate had no idea of ​​resistance at all. They just regarded Yan State as their savior.

Duan Tianming likes to see things proceed naturally after all preparations have been made, rather than taking a gamble without any preparation and relying solely on luck.

Whether it was a conspiracy or an open plot, the development situation had been pushed to this side, and the times had to require these monarchs to compromise. This was a helpless choice brought about by their weakness.

Meat needs to be enjoyed bite by bite, cooked thoroughly, and served on the plate.

Now, Yan Country is about to taste this wonderful delicacy that has been prepared for a year.
