Now, almost all the pressure is on Duan Tianming, and many problems require him to deal with them personally. The system under this situation is not the best for Duan Tianming or the entire Yan Kingdom.
After the establishment of the Yan Empire, many institutional problems, not to mention the progress, were exposed.
After gathering the current top leaders of Yan State and a group of new Yan State officials who were urgently trained and recruited in the original core area of Yan State to Yanyang City, a reform of the central system can begin.
The first point was to establish prefectures, counties, and the entire Central Plains administrative area was divided into 9 major prefectures and 60 counties according to a three-level system, which was considered to be the establishment of a relatively complete centralized local system.
The original Luonan Confederation area was divided into Zhongzhou, the largest area under the central control, and another special state was Lingnanzhou in the south, which was regarded as placing the south under the influence of the central government.
The division of these states and counties was also intended to impact the original understanding of the state and to consolidate the original people's thoughts into a unified dynasty through changes in regional consciousness.
Subordinate departments of the central departments were set up in each place, and local governance agencies were arranged to take charge of local affairs. Most of these talents were basically sent from the core area of Yan State, and a few were combined with the original group of officials.
After a year of purge, most of the former slave nobles or some bureaucrats were cleared out, and some of the remaining ones who had not committed any crimes were retained, which made up for the shortcomings of the current governance work.
The overall centralized system is not bloated and basic governance capabilities are guaranteed. The current population is still relatively small overall. After systematic sorting, the overall governance pressure is not great.
At the central level, the main direction is to establish a centralized system under the absolute control of Duan Tianming. The entire country will establish an emperor, who will control the imperial army. There will also be a newly established Imperial Academy of Sciences. On the one hand, the military power will be in the hands of the emperor, and on the other hand, he will directly guide scientific and technological progress to reduce the probability of going astray.
Of course, with technology developing to this point, there is very little he can control. He has to gather tens of thousands of scientific research talents from the entire empire and concentrate his efforts to break through key technical difficulties.
With these two departments under direct control, the entire empire, security and development direction are in control, and basically there will be no major problems.
Under the empire, a capital council was established to directly control the subordinate departments and handle the country's affairs. The capital was still directly appointed by Duan Tianming, and some reference was made to the binary system in the selection method.
The capital's term of office is 30 years, which basically guarantees the continuation of policies. Due to the increase in lifespan, the problem will not be too obvious for the time being.
The first one is still Duan Tianming who directly serves as the capital. Currently, it is still in the preparation stage for industrialization and nothing is on track. Duan Tianming still needs to work hard for a while and provide direct guidance.
Although the work was tiring, Duan Tianming had no choice. If he wanted to lead the rapid development of Yan Country, his own efforts were necessary.
"Alas! I'm almost not myself anymore. I need to abdicate immediately!"
After being elected as the first Prime Minister, he burst into tears. Now he has been overwhelmed by the increasingly complicated affairs, and he no longer has the mentality of enjoying life from day to day that he had when he first traveled through time.
Yan Country needs development, and I am willing to devote another 30 years to the development of Yan Country.
"Maybe after 30 years, things will be much easier!"
He couldn't help but start to yearn for it. He really wanted Yan Country to become stronger.

The institutional design of central departments is relatively complex, and there are many designs based on the needs of production changes. At present, the original departments are basically split and restructured to meet the needs of production and construction, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Education, etc., which are various departments that are in line with social production.
The Propaganda Department controlled by Zhang Yun was also split up. Part of it came under the control of the capital and was incorporated into the Ministry of Culture and Sports, while the other part became the third secretly controlled institution by Duan Tianming after he abandoned the two independent institutions of the military and the research institute.
They are mainly responsible for controlling and guiding public opinion, as well as some ideological propaganda, official supervision and other work. Their functions are similar to those of the Jinyiwei, but they are not as high-profile. Although there are quite a few of them, several thousand in number, most of them are hidden.
This was mainly to prepare for him to be able to control the empire well after he stepped down as the Prime Minister 30 years later. This department was named the Imperial Guard, and it was an institution of the same status as the Military Academy and the Scientific Research Institute. It had Long Yi, his guard who had followed him since the tribal era, as its chief leader, and it was considered an imperial institution.
Zhang Yun is too knowledgeable about diplomacy. Although he is loyal, he cannot be kept in the dark unless it is necessary. Only in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can he display his talents.
From October of the sixth year of the Divine Realm to the New Year holiday of the seventh year of the Divine Realm, the internal system reform of Yan State was basically completed, and its influence began to gradually extend to the grassroots level. Influenced by this system, cities in various countries in the original plains also began to gradually develop and migrate, and the internal flow of population, cultural integration and unification, and internal economic activities became more prosperous.
After seven years in the Divine Realm and more than a year of restructuring, the Yan Empire finally stood tall again on the God-Forsaken Continent with a brand new look. The political preparations for industrialization were basically completed, and a blank sheet of paper with no remnants of aristocracy and feudal landlords finally emerged.
All of Yan Country’s ideas can be drawn on this blank piece of paper.
After more than two years of research and development by the Academy of Sciences, which had been integrated long ago, various scientific and technological problems centered on steam engines were gradually overcome, and a large number of mineral deposits in the Luolong Mountains and the Nanling Mountains in the south were gradually explored and discovered. In the past few years, when the geological discipline was not mature, the detection of minerals was still relatively difficult.
Many things could only be discovered using relatively crude methods. It was not until Academician Li Ye of the Academy of Sciences improved the relevant research in the field of geology that a number of coal mines and other minerals were discovered more effectively.
Fortunately, the Luolong Mountains are rich in resources, and there are also sufficient mineral deposits in all directions of the Central Plains. After negotiating with the Shenqi Kingdom, the relevant development work can be completed at some cost.
Several giant mines were developed, and a large number of prisoners and second-level citizens such as the Skeleton Tribe were assigned to develop minerals, and basic mineral supply and reserves were established.
Although the more than 20 kinds of raw materials needed for industrialization are not fully available, the basic reserves are enough to maintain related development work.
However, mechanization has not yet developed to the extent that steam engines can be manufactured by machines, and the output of steam engines cannot meet the relevant needs. There is no way around it. Although all scientific research forces have been concentrated in the research institute, it is still not so easy to produce results.
