After the war was decided, Yan State began to prepare for war. Under Yan State's highly centralized system, once there was a policy that needed to be implemented, the entire country would have a goal, just like a machine with a program injected into it.
The production department quickly arranged the collection and sorting of grain. As a newly established country, Yan's agricultural productivity had greatly improved due to the institutional stimulation from the nationalization of land and the equal-field system, as well as the iron plow and ox-drawn plowing model that had just become popular in the past two years.
Combined with some agricultural knowledge Duan Tianming had previously learned, compared with the collective labor of the well-field system in other countries, Yan's agricultural yield per unit area has greatly increased.
Despite the conditions of a large population and limited land, food is still relatively abundant.
In addition, the advantage of being backed by the Luolong Mountains is that there are excellent breeding resources.
The breeding industry in Yan State has been developing for more than a year. From a few or dozens of heads at first to hundreds of heads now, it is considered to be a fairly large scale.
Other industries such as fisheries relying on surrounding rivers, forestry relying on the development of mountain forests, and small sideline businesses (chicken, duck and pig farming) in some collective farms (Yan rural areas) have also gradually developed and gradually improved the lives of the Yan people.
Due to the increase in the number of gods, the population structure of Yan State is very good. Although there are many newborns, it is still within a controllable range. Therefore, there is a foundation for reclaiming more arable land and better developing agriculture.
In this era close to agricultural society, the main theme is vast land and sparse population. Although the population in the Central Plains is relatively dense, arable land has not been reclaimed on a large scale, so there are no territorial disputes. As long as there is land to be cultivated, the city will be built there.
With the arrival of spring, Yan State also began its Spring Festival land reclamation activities. With Yuqing City as the center and collective farms as bases, they frantically reclaimed land on the vast Central Plains.
Due to the long-term cooperation with the nomadic tribes north of the Luolong Mountains, the supply of oxen is not too difficult. Yan's furniture and ironware are hard currency. Although they cannot be exported to the south due to security issues, this does not affect Yan's trade in the north.

"You want to march north?"
At this time, Zhao Yuqing asked in confusion.
"Sir God, we need to expand now. Our population is already saturated."
Duan Tianming explained.
After the last assessment, the relationship between the two has been somewhat improved.
"But the God War will begin in half a year, then..."
Zhao Yuqing said weakly.
Last time, Duan Tianming was unwilling to take the test, but now the war between gods must go on, and she cannot guarantee that this fake believer will not embarrass her.
"What's going on?"
Duan Tianming was a little shocked. He didn't expect this to happen.
Forget about the original assessment, now there is also a war between gods.
"This is a strict rule of the divine world. At that time, there may be invasions from the families of other gods..."
Zhao Yuqing's tone was a little weak. She also wanted to wait until her own kingdom of gods was well developed before launching the war of gods. She had no use for this Yan Kingdom at all. However, the current situation was that her own kingdom of gods had not even appeared yet, and the war of gods would begin in half a year. If she did not tell Yan Kingdom now, the losses would be even greater.
“····”
Duan Tianming was silent for a while.
"The divine war is very profitable, and the annual productivity will bring various benefits. I can make some compromises on this point."
Zhao Yuqing had already performed a divine descent at this time. Although her tone was relatively weak, her expression was still solemn.
She is very conflicted now. The assessment has dealt a heavy blow to her. She knows that she cannot control this country and cannot bypass Duan Tianming to become independent, but she is unwilling to accept this. Her pride does not allow her to become a waste that depends on others. Her father cannot accept this, and the fake believer in front of her cannot accept this either.
But the reality is that she has not yet developed her own power, and now she has to be bound together with the fake believer in front of her.
Duan Tianming also understood that no matter how unwilling he was, cooperation with this god was inevitable. Now neither of them had the strength to resist the rules. Reality bound them together, and this was not something that could be said just because one person was unwilling.
Behind him is the fate of a country or a race, and these people need his leadership and need him to steer the direction.
It is childish to put personal feelings above the group. He does not represent himself, he represents the entire Yan Country.
"The value of the God War is very rich. If you fight well, you can even obtain all the wealth of an entire race. I hope we can cooperate well in this regard..."
Zhao Yuqing continued to explain.
"As long as this war can bring greater benefits to our country and more generous rewards, then everything is fine. But if it means our people will sacrifice in vain for so-called honor, then I can accurately say that this is impossible."
After Duan Tianming expressed his opinion, he walked out of the temple directly.
····
In the temple, Zhao Yuqing looked at Duan Tianming who walked out slowly, feeling very complicated.
"I must have my own capital!"
She became more determined to have her own kingdom of God.
For a deity, this was a reshaping of her values. From childhood to adulthood, thanks to the protection of her family and her personal excellence, she had never compromised in this way, let alone compromise with a clan.
In the divine world, this is as ridiculous as fair communication between humans and insects. It is unimaginable and unacceptable to the entire divine world.
However, she has to bear all of it alone, and different positions will lead to inconsistent thoughts.
“Want to become God’s?”
She thought about it and decided that this was a very good choice. As long as she became her father's subordinate god, she would basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and she could live a comfortable life under her father's wings forever.
At that time, she would not have to be looked down upon by others just because she was an ordinary human being of the lowest level, nor would she have to stay awake all night because of her uncertain future, nor would she have to compromise with a false believer as a god.
She doesn't have to worry about what to do in the future, her father will arrange everything for her.
···
"Zhao Yuqing, how can you be willing to be a dependent?"
"You have to be independent. You are no worse than those men!"
The sunlight shone on her through the windows of the temple. She was now very dazzling, very sacred, and very beautiful.
Duan Tianming looked back for some reason, then turned his head decisively.
