The child's hands were no longer as white and tender as before, and his face had become dirty. It was obvious that he had undergone great physical and mental torture.
His eyes no longer had the usual liveliness, not even the tears that represented emotion. Instead, there was only dullness and numbness in them, the look of a slave...

The relocation work of Yan Country has begun. After confirmation, the Human Emperor Seal has built a passage on the outskirts of Yuqing City. This passage area was originally the area where Yuqing City was planning to expand, and now it is just the right opportunity to rebuild it again.
The food problem is guaranteed along the way. The Luji Kingdom alone can bear the food supply this time and until next year's harvest.
The reason is very simple. Those gods have time to move the population, but they don't have time to move the food. The number of people has decreased, but the food has not increased much. Naturally, this is because the Lu Ji Kingdom has more sufficient food.
This is ironic, sad and ridiculous. Every time the population is "cleansed", there will be a small period of prosperity. This is brought by resources...
Of course, the departure of relatives and friends cannot make these people give up their right to pursue a better life. The newspapers of Yan State spread the news and began to guide public opinion.
A channel connecting the Central Plains and the south appeared, migration routes began to be planned, and the cleanup of the south was also put on the agenda.
All the work was very simple. The southern countries were also greatly influenced by the Central Plains. After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry made a circle, they had a deeper understanding of Yan Kingdom. Duan Tianming believed very much in Yan Kingdom's assimilation ability, so while the population of Lu Ji Kingdom was migrating, the population in the south also began to migrate to the Central Plains.
The main destination is definitely the core area, but Duan Tianming cannot fully absorb the population of nearly one million. He found the countries of the original Luonan Federation to discuss and settled some of the population around them. Influenced by Yan State, the surrounding states also reclaimed a lot of land. Now is the time when they are short of people, and now is the perfect time to make arrangements.
Several months passed like this, and with the full cooperation of the entire Central Plains and based on previous experience, the population migration was finally completed.
Compared with the coldness of the Central Plains in the north, the south is obviously warmer, and the planting seasons for various crops are also different. However, with the help of the existing arable land and the arable land that had been reclaimed as soon as they moved to the south, the Lu Ji Kingdom was able to settle down in the first few years. With the help of the Central Plains, the problem was not big overall.
Due to the stability of the God-Forsaken Continent and the deterrent power of the Yan Kingdom, the entire Lu Ji Kingdom was very cooperative with the Yan Kingdom. After being resettled in the southern region, it also began to consciously fulfill its responsibility to join the Central Plains Confederation.
In April of the sixth year of the Divine Realm, the busy work of the second batch of population migration in the entire Yan Kingdom finally came to an end. Now the entire Central Plains region plus the mountainous area of more than 1.5 million square kilometers has a population of more than 3 million, and the southern region of more than 2 million square kilometers of land has a population of more than 5 million. On the whole, the northwestern region of the Forsaken Continent of Gods has recovered some vitality, and the population preparation is relatively reasonable.
What is more important is that some countries in the northeast have also begun to actively turn to this huge confederation under pressure from the south. This is necessary after the entire confederation expands its influence.
This is what Yan Country wants to see. The more territory the entire federation occupies and the more member countries it has, the more it will gain after integration.
We are still carrying out early industrial mineral exploration, technological exploration, and accumulation of technical talents, but this is only a prerequisite for industrialization. If we want to industrialize more quickly, we must start another institutional preparation. At present, at least the centralized power in the Central Plains needs to be established quickly, and Yan State must also integrate the ordinary human race and other races in the entire God-Forsaken Continent.
We haven't been in touch with Zhao Yuqing for a long time. What we need most now is to take advantage of this period of time to integrate the entire internal situation, improve our own strength and absorb the benefits of the current migration of ordinary human beings.
The Lu Ji Kingdom is naturally not within this range. Since it has joined the Central Plains Confederation, these people will naturally belong to the Yan Kingdom in the market.
This is not a colonial and semi-colonial relationship, at most it is cooperation between countries.
The population representative of the Lu Ji Kingdom is different from the population of the entire Shenqi Continent. One represents the remnants of the human race, which is different from the Yan Kingdom in terms of system and cultural heritage. The maintenance of its independent status can be regarded as a model for leading other remnants of the human race in the future.
The population of the God-Forsaken Continent is the private territory of Yan State. It should have been the object of unification and the sphere of interests of Yan State. Duan Tianming and the people of Yan State are clear about this, and the people of Lu Ji Kingdom are also clear about this.
Currently, the Central Plains region is controlled by Yan State in terms of military power, economy, culture and other aspects, and other countries in the north have also been deeply affected.
Peaceful reunification is necessary in all aspects. Now we just need to wait for the monarchs of the northern countries to come to the meeting and then break through this window paper.
With the guarantee of military strength, everything will go smoothly.
On the eve of the meeting, the signal of unification and public opinion had been released to the people through various means such as newspapers and operas. The people's call for the unification of Yan State continued. They had shouted slogans like this countless times, but Yan State did not respond before, but responded now.
Cut the meat with a soft knife, simmer over low heat, and take it step by step. This is the rhythm that Duan Tianming likes.
What he pursues is the feeling of fighting outside and living in peace inside. Even if the situation develops to be more serious, everything seems to be irrelevant because the general trend has pushed it to this point.
The development of productivity determined that the Yan State must be unified and that the Luji Kingdom must be dependent on it. This was the general trend of history and could not be solved by the private armies of those monarchs.
The first one who was not tactful came, and they began to struggle like ants on a hot pan. The call for independence raised by the monarch swept across the entire surrounding areas of Yan State. The surrounding major powers such as Zhao State, Han State, Wei State, etc. started the independence movement first.
When they announced their call to the nation and prepared to command the army with their loyal generals, they were dumbfounded. No one listened to them.
These people were like clowns performing political shows. They did not cause any waves in the entire history of Yan State and were soon swept into the trash can.
The words of a young soldier published in a newspaper vividly explain it all:
"That's hilarious! This country wants us to die just for their own petty gains. Don't they know how powerful the Yan Kingdom's army is? After joining the Yan Kingdom, we don't have to do free labor. We can also eat for free in the public canteens organized by the Yan Kingdom. Our children can enjoy three years of compulsory education and don't have to be bossed around by these martial nobles. What can they do to us? Only a fool would listen to them and die."
These nobles thought that their prestige could consolidate the people's sense of independence, but they didn't know that these people had long wanted to become Yan people.
