"We don't have much productivity right now. We can only buy some livestock and seeds. Do you need them?"
Zhao Yuqing wanted to buy some for Shenqi Kingdom, so of course she needed to contact Duan Tianming.
"How about this? You buy us 2,000 tons of various grain seeds and other crop seeds. Give us a list of the details later, and we'll discuss and select them."
"As for livestock, buy us 2k each for cattle and horses, and the rest will be for you."
Duan Tianming replied that in the war between gods some time ago, Yan Kingdom basically took away all the benefits, so naturally it had to give Shenqi Kingdom some benefits, otherwise this god would make trouble again.
"OK."
Zhao Yuqing answered very readily. Now her mentality has changed and she feels more relaxed.

A few days later, all the supplies were basically delivered to Yuqing City, and people were quickly sent to study the seeds and plan the related planting work. These seeds were all good varieties and would greatly increase agriculture.
As for other aspects such as livestock, Yan State is basically saturated now. It can be said that every person in Yan State has an animal. There is an urgent need for expansion, and related expansion matters also need to be discussed.
····
In September of the second year of the God's Descent, the Peace and Development Conference between Yan State and Shenqi State was also held in Yuqing City. As a vest for the gods to maintain their dignity, if it cannot be banned, then they should think carefully about how to cooperate.
This conference was held in the royal palace to the north of the temple in the capital of Yan State. The royal palace has now basically become the administrative center of the entire Yan State. Various meetings and activities are basically held here. As for the king's majesty, Duan Tianming doesn't care too much. As a person who grew up under the red flag, he originally became king out of helplessness, and now there is no need to put on so much airs.
Duan Tianming had already discussed this meeting long ago, and he had already communicated with the Shenqi Kingdom. The main purpose was to consider how the two countries could expand smoothly. As for external expansion, Duan Tianming meant to keep the noise as small as possible to avoid affecting the surrounding major powers and being retaliated against.
Although in terms of absolute military strength alone, Yan State is absolutely sure to directly defeat the enemy, but war will kill people. In a war under such productivity conditions, more people will definitely die. The main purpose of Yan State's external expansion is population.
What Duan Tianming wanted was a country with a sufficient population and prosperity, not the ruins after the war, the fear of the surrounding civilians, and the decline of the economy.
Therefore, if you want to expand, you must have some means. In this game, Shenqi Kingdom is the absolute key.
"Today, we gather together at the call of the Great Spirit to discuss how to make our two countries more prosperous and how to strengthen our cooperation."
"Just a few months ago, during the God War, the warriors of our two countries established a very close and friendly relationship on the battlefield. Through long-term exchanges, the relationship between our two peoples has also become closer."
"The purpose of this meeting is to consider how our two countries can achieve further long-term development under the leadership of the Divine Master. I hope that we can cooperate sincerely and create glory for the human race."
After Duan Tianming made some polite remarks, the specific issues of each party began to be discussed. Duan Tianming was no longer needed to take the stage, as Wu, Zhang Yun and others could naturally take charge.
Papapapa...
After the applause, Zhang Yun took the stage to announce the next cooperation plan between the two countries. This plan is mainly aimed at the expansion and cooperation between the two countries.
"The main issue we want to discuss this time is how to reasonably expand abroad. Currently, the development of our two countries is facing great pressure. Although the war has made us a fortune, it still has not fundamentally changed the situation of our small and weak countries."
"After planning and discussion by our Yan Nation, and taking into account the development direction of friendly countries, our next targets are Yan Nation to the south and Shenqi Nation to the north. There are many large city-states in the plains of the south, and our Yan Nation is willing to bear the related pressure. The north is relatively free of too much pressure, so it is more suitable for Shenqi Nation's expansion."
As soon as Zhang Yun finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent. This was mainly because the Yan State side was looking at the Shenqi State's face. In fact, Duan Tianming had already discussed the relevant interest issues with Zhao Yuqing. After repeated negotiations, they reached a consensus. Now this meeting was a natural result.
However, this also obviously curbed the development direction of the Shenqi Kingdom. Although there were city-states that could engage in farming in the north of the Luolong Mountains, they were mostly grassland areas with little potential for development.
Compared with the Central Plains region with a larger population and a more livable environment, the North is obviously not a good place to go, but this is not something that Shenqi Country can decide. Yan Country has already regarded the Central Plains region as its own possession. This is an unequal division of interests, and Shenqi Country can only accept it.
Zhang Yun broke the silence and said what he was going to say next was the price Yan State had to pay. Previously, Shenqi State had given Yan State a lot of supplies, and now it was compromising on the Central Plains region. Relevant interests must be given, and good relations must be maintained.
The arrival of the Shenqi Kingdom saved Duan Tianming a lot of trouble. Many of the original mandatory activities in the divine world needed to be faced directly by the Yan Kingdom, just like the last assessment. There will be many more in the future. These meaningless activities will seriously damage the relationship between the Yan Kingdom and the gods, and the Shenqi Kingdom has played a buffering role between the Yan Kingdom and the gods.
With this country acting as a target, Yan State can develop its own things steadily within its framework. This is equivalent to a vest of Yan State to the God Realm. Naturally, its strength cannot be too weak, and relevant support must also be available.
"In order to better maintain the relationship between the two countries, our Yan State will provide some assistance to the Shenqi State. The most important thing is to help the Shenqi State conquer the countries in the Luolong Valley, so that the Shenqi State will have a base for farming. In addition, we will also provide Shenqi State with some technical support and assistance to better consolidate the relationship between the two countries in terms of infrastructure construction."
"Militarily, the quota of Danyang soldiers will be divided equally between the two sides to promote the improvement of Shenqi's combat effectiveness, and a batch of ironware will be provided to Shenqi."
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, the originally cold atmosphere became warm again. To be honest, this kind of assistance was not small. As for why military assistance was needed, it was mainly to allow Shenqi Country to cooperate with Yan Country's plan to annex the countries in the southern part of the Luolong Mountains.
"Okay, let's discuss how our two countries can cooperate to intimidate and subjugate the countries south of the Luolong Mountains."
Wu started to discuss the issue without giving the representative of Shenqi Nation time to respond.
To be honest, the Shenqi Kingdom is basically controlled by Zhao Yuqing now, and this meeting is mainly a formality. Many things are directly completed through verbal negotiations between Duan Tianming and Zhao Yuqing, and these people have no decision-making power.
