Since the failure of his confession, Duan Tianming was indeed depressed for a few days, but this does not mean that life will not go on. Although there were some unexpected events in this sudden confession, the ending was expected. Zhao Yuqing would not give up her social status for Duan Tianming, and Duan Tianming would not give up his country and ideals for Zhao Yuqing.
This is a sharp contradiction that cannot be avoided. Even if the emotional barrier between the two is broken, the barriers of social reality will only become thicker and more solid.
Although Duan Tianming has never been in love, he knows very well that love cannot destroy everything. Even if there is affection, one cannot give up everything to be together.
This is not a good thing for either party.
"Alas~ It's better not to meet!"
Duan Tianming had already returned to Yanyang City, and all the work in Jiuli City had been arranged. He had been away from the capital for more than a year, and many things needed him to preside over. Since he had chosen Yan Country, he had to do a good job.
"Your Majesty, all relocation work for the Kingdom of Divine Revelation has been completed. How should the relocation and resettlement of the Sea Beast Kingdom and the Sea Clan population be handled?"
In the main hall, everyone was handling the affairs at hand while discussing various key tasks. In order to better ensure the overall operational efficiency, Duan Tianming directly arranged the main senior executives of each department in a newly built administrative building so that they could coordinate and arrange anything if there was anything.
"Well, our initial plan is definitely to integrate some of them, but after the migration of the Shenqi Nation, the population of our northern grasslands and western regions is very small, and our control is also very weak."
Duan Tianming had a headache. If he simply arranged all the two million people to the Central Plains, there would be no population left for the development of so many resources in the western region. However, if he arranged the two million people to the west, according to the report of Li Fei and others, it would be absolutely impossible to assimilate them and eliminate their slave mentality in a short period of time.
If this group of people is not broken up and the new ideas of Yan Country are not instilled into their minds, I am afraid that in just a few hundred years, this group of people will still call those sea beasts masters.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the development of these areas will only require the retention of a key population. It would be best if this population remained in the Central Plains for ideological transformation and assimilation of customs. Currently, the development of the western region has not yet reached the grassroots rural areas. As long as we control some major resources, I believe it will be very effective. Relocating this population is unnecessary."
Wu raised his head and said that as the first engineer of Yan Country's industrialization, he knew more about many things, such as the current resource extraction in the west, the number of people required and the various resources.
"That's right, it's just our habitual thinking. The Central Plains region is currently in short supply of population. We can't bite off more than we can chew. We should first develop the Central Plains region and then expand to the surrounding areas!"
After hearing Wu's explanation, Duan Tianming agreed with it. The core population of Yan State was only more than 3 million. Only by managing the Central Plains well could many regions have capital to absorb. Otherwise, the Central Plains would be empty, and other places would be too strong and have too great cultural differences, which would easily lead to chaos.
"King, the large-scale development of the west can wait until after this war, and then develop for another ten years or so. Once the first wave of baby boomers in Yan Nation have grown up, we can consider relocation."
Li Mao next to him said that as the newly promoted Minister of Household Registration of Yan State, he has a lot of insights into matters such as population and household registration.
Since the founding of Yan State in the seventh year of the Divine Realm, with the gradual implementation of agricultural, industrial, and medical reforms, coupled with a long-term internal stable environment and policies that encourage childbirth, the first wave of baby booms has gradually emerged, with the number of newborns increasing year by year.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the population has increased from over 3 million in the seventh year of the Divine Realm to 3.8 million now. This birth wave has increased from 100,000 per year to over 400,000 per year in the 11th year of the Divine Realm, and will continue to increase.
Yan State actively encourages and fully guarantees this. According to the Ministry of Households' estimates, after this war, as Yan State absorbs a large number of people and further achieves long-term stability, by the 20th year of the Divine Realm, Yan State's population will smoothly exceed 10 million.
This is the lowest number that only takes into account the growth of the local population and no longer considers the integration of surrounding populations.

"Your Majesty, after this war, after a few years of recuperation, we can fully absorb the population of the entire Forsaken Continent. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in conjunction with the Academy of Sciences, is about to complete a map survey of the entire Forsaken Continent. We have also established contact with several major countries within it. After a rough estimate, the population is still mainly composed of ordinary humans. Aside from the entire eastern plains, which are constantly shrouded in dark clouds and deserted, the population in other areas, while not as dense as in the Central Plains, is still in the tens of millions."
Zhang Yun stepped forward and explained.
During this period of time, he was mainly busy with these things. When the affairs of this fantasy continent were completely over, the divine realm would be completely sealed off according to the plan of the Human Emperor, and the internal absorption, integration, and development could also be fully begun.
"Well, you guys should produce a detailed map as soon as possible. After this resource absorption is completed, many things will be ready to start. At that time, you can first transfer the population of the kingdoms in the east, north and south to the west and the Central Plains, and assimilate them simultaneously with the migration population of our Yan Nation. As for the various resources in the original native areas, we can wait until the population gradually increases before proceeding step by step!"
Duan Tianming planned.
At this time, his thinking was free. The population concentration required for the industrialization of Yan State could not be viewed with the thinking of the agricultural era. The relevant thinking must be changed, otherwise it would easily lead to chaos.
"yes!"
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, the remaining matters were just some minor details that did not need to be discussed specifically in the meeting. After several months of emergency handling, Duan Tianming's official duties became much easier and he became more relaxed.
Once people become relaxed, they tend to think too much. For Duan Tianming, when he thinks too much, Zhao Yuqing's pretty face, her expectant eyes, and her disappointed back naturally appear in his mind.
During these days, Duan Tianming dreamed of her every night. For Zhao Yuqing, Duan Tianming was "leisurely and carefree, tossing and turning".
"Hey~ Let's go find out about the personnel migration situation!"
Duan Tianming shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing the strong desire in his heart.
Now there is a beast in his heart. He wants to force Zhao Yuqing to stay in the God-forsaken Continent. He wants Zhao Yuqing to stay by his side forever and let her break with the God Realm for him.
But for Duan Tianming, it is generally the case that reason prevails. He does not have the so-called "love brain", and Zhao Yuqing naturally does not have it either. Not meeting is the best situation for both parties.
