Everyone walked into the imperial palace and entered the Yan Kingdom's meeting hall. The construction of this hall began to be planned two years ago. It was built in a relatively grand and simple manner. It was not luxurious in style, but it was enough to reflect the majesty and grandeur of the Yan Kingdom.
There are also special reporters in the meeting hall to summarize the relevant meeting minutes and prepare for external announcements.
The people of Yan State are obsessed with politics. Every time the Yan State Daily goes on sale, it is snapped up. In every teahouse or other public place, there is a lot of discussion about politics.
This is mainly because Duan Tianming's guidance on culture is somewhat distorted. Although he also advocates the development of other folk cultures such as opera, he does not pay as much attention to politics. For the Yan people who have experienced many drastic changes in just a few years, their attention to politics has naturally increased.
This is what Duan Tianming wants to see. He hates to use some entertainment things to block the minds of the Yan people. Compared with those instabilities, it is more important to cultivate a group of citizens with some political literacy.
In any case, under the entire imperial system of Yan State, his authority will not be affected by some things.
Even if he is hit, it will not affect his political status.

The meeting gradually unfolded after the official courtesies, and the overall atmosphere was relatively harmonious. After all, the entire Lu Ji Kingdom was now dependent on the Yan Kingdom for survival, and they had no bargaining power.
"These are the plans we have set for our bilateral cooperation over the next century. You can take a look at them first."
Zhang Yun took out the documents and distributed them to the ministers and monarch of the Luji Kingdom. The meeting place became quiet, and the discussion between the two sides reached a critical stage.
An hour later, seeing that these people had roughly finished reading the relevant documents, Duan Tianming also went on stage and began to explain.
"I believe everyone has read the cooperation document drafted by our Yan Country. The meaning of our Yan Country is also very clear. Generally speaking, it is simply to cooperate with our Yan Country in a series of future industrialization activities. As compensation, we will also provide a certain extension to the Luji Kingdom under the premise of its own development and maturity."
"This is the overall development charter for our Yan Nation for the next hundred years. We have made sufficient preparations for this, and have achieved breakthroughs in many related technological concepts. All that Luji Kingdom needs to do is provide us with population, markets, resources, and other conditions when we need them. I believe this will benefit Luji Kingdom and not harm it."
"This is····"
Duan Tianming came to the stage and gave a detailed summary of the relevant information. The Luji Kingdom was right next to the Yan Kingdom, and the relevant content of industrialization could not be concealed. Moreover, the various resources of the Luji Kingdom would definitely be used in many aspects in the future. It would be better to start negotiations now and then discuss various cooperation options.
The relevant degree must be grasped well. Issues such as technology and concepts must be broken through first by Yan Country before they can begin to expand gradually. He naturally cannot stop the Lu Ji Kingdom from exploring on its own, but after signing this document, it is wishful thinking for it to want to develop and surpass Yan Country without Yan Country's help.
From a national perspective, this is considered as cultivating a semi-colony on its own. However, for the Lu Ji Kingdom, which is currently dependent on others, the resistance it encounters will not be too great. Moreover, Yan Kingdom is not a great power, and its cooperative attitude and interests can definitely be met under certain conditions.
"I think all relevant parties need to negotiate again."
Wen Yang and the business community's expressions did not change much. They had already made relevant considerations before coming. Yan State saved their entire country with the lives of its soldiers. It would not be a wise decision to turn their backs on them now.
The Luji Kingdom has been able to survive until now because its ministers are all sensible. In this situation, they can only try their best to protect their own interests in some details.
The agreement between the two sides extended from economic cooperation to military alliance cooperation and other aspects. Naturally, Yan State would not be polite in these areas.
The meeting lasted until October, and after relatively harmonious discussions and agreements, the entire charter was summarized in relatively detail.
Politically, King Lu Ji pledged allegiance to Emperor Yan, and the Kingdom of Lu Ji joined the Yan Confederation.
The military of the Luji Kingdom and the military of the Yan Kingdom conducted unified training and study in the newly built Yanyang Military Academy in Yanyang City. Half of the military strength of the Luji Kingdom was integrated with the Yan Kingdom’s army to become one branch of the military, while the other half of the army also needed to be under the unified control of Yan Kingdom when it was in the first level of combat readiness.
The Kingdom of Luji and the Kingdom of Yan signed a foreign trade agreement, unifying their currencies, exempting each other from tariffs, and establishing a unified market...
After looking at many aspects, the problems of the Lu Ji Kingdom have been basically solved. This also explains a major issue in Duan Tianming's mind. The next major issue is about the internal affairs of the Yan Kingdom, which can be regarded as adapting to the new governance issues that have emerged after the expansion of the territory.
The original internal affairs management was suitable for a small state or a small kingdom, but it was still a bit difficult in the face of an empire with a population of more than 3 million and a territory of more than 2 million square kilometers.
Therefore, reform of domestic affairs is imperative.
Duan Tianming now has a headache just thinking about the gods. He just sends people to keep a close eye on the things of Shenqi Country. If there are any huge changes, that is, Zhao Yuqing takes the initiative to use a large amount of productivity, he will have to face it directly. Although it will be closed soon and the resources of the God Realm will not be available, it is now the Yan Country that must not lose a single bit.
But after observation, the situation was a bit strange. Although Shenqi Kingdom was still developing rapidly, Zhao Yuqing didn't know what had happened. It seemed that she had not intervened in Shenqi Kingdom for a long time.
This made Duan Tianming a little confused, but these were not what he needed to pay attention to at the moment. Since there were no problems with the gods, the internal reforms of Yan Country had to continue, and establishing a system that was adaptable to industrialization was also a necessary task.
