Lin Yan saw Huang Ying's refusal, so she didn't persist, knowing that Huang Ying couldn't make the decision.

"Who in the military department is responsible for this?"

"Yun Qing proposed it, and both Heitu and Shi Yong agreed." Huang Ying hesitated, "If you go, the military department may report it to the arbitration tribunal."

"I understand. Don't worry, I will let the military department and the arbitration tribunal agree."

In the next two months, apart from attending classes, Lin Yan only did two things: carving stencils and copying books.

The effect of focusing on this was also obvious. Her mental power increased rapidly, her visual distance reached twelve meters, and the feeling of touching real objects became clearer and clearer.

Two-thirds of the basics of herbal medicine have been completed. If I work harder, I can finish them all before setting off next year.

On December 20, as the seven years of the Solar Era were coming to an end, the Arbitration Tribunal convened an annual meeting of managers at all levels.

Baiyun, as a representative, summarized the achievements of this year, such as a bumper wheat harvest, more than double the amount of iron ore mined last year, a great increase in the efficiency of various factories, etc. The detailed data are listed one by one, which is very convincing.

.

Fenghua, the Minister of Finance, reported on the financial situation of the year, which was generally balanced.

Minglan, the Minister of Materials and Materials, reported on the types and quantities of weapons, swords and other equipment produced this year. Compared with last year, the quantity was very impressive. Among them, there were 36 more trucks and two larger ships.

As the Minister of Science and Technology, Lin Yan also has to report on his work. This year, the schools and laboratories under the Ministry of Science and Technology have achieved good results.

The papermaking workshop is under the management of the laboratory and is managed by Bai Chen personally. The papermaking volume is five times that of last year. Printing has also achieved success, and the first batch of enlightenment textbooks has been printed, totaling 300 volumes.

The school serves as a base for cultivating talents. A total of 362 people graduated and went to work in various positions, using what they learned to contribute to Sun City.

As soon as the Weapons Research Laboratory was established, it produced crossbows, which were recognized and affirmed by everyone.

The Medical Research Laboratory successfully produced Jiedu Pills and Zhixue Powder, which are used to stop bleeding and detoxify, and are more convenient to carry with you when you go out.

At the end of the year, the physical and chemical research laboratory in charge of Shi Zhi and Ye Cong used quicklime, flour and oil to make a miniature bomb. Although it was not very powerful, it made a loud sound. It was used to drive away birds and birds in the fields.

The beast is very useful.

…

Summarizing the achievements, Alan recognized everyone's efforts. She talked about her plans for the next year. The one that surprised everyone the most was the alliance with the Qingyan tribe.

If the Qingyan tribe wants wheat seeds, they must sign a covenant with Sun City, join the Sun Alliance, and participate in the construction and management of the Sun Alliance with Sun City as the center.

The covenant had been drawn up, and Alan asked Shui Sheng to read the content of the covenant aloud on the spot.

As an alliance, the Qingyan tribe can buy wheat seeds at 20% off the market price, and is also qualified to purchase weapons and technology from Sun City. Tribesmen can freely travel to and from Sun City, and can also settle in Sun City, and enjoy equal rights as the people of Sun City.

.

The Qingyan Tribe must abide by the jurisdiction of Sun City, abide by the laws of Sun City, and learn the language and writing of Sun City. Sun City enjoys the same rights to obtain resources from the Qingyan Tribe.

All in all, as long as the Qingyan Tribe joins the Sun Alliance, both parties will become a community of interests, and Sun City will develop and progress together with the Qingyan Tribe.

As an alliance, we cannot abandon it. Once we break the contract, we will be sanctioned by Sun City, and we do not rule out using force to resolve it.

Some people were not surprised when they learned about it in advance. Others heard for the first time that Lao Hei was one of them, and immediately asked: "The covenant is of little benefit to us. Once the wheat seeds are given, our flour will be sold."

Don’t go out. The Qingyan tribe doesn’t have anything valuable except salt, so we will lose money.”

"Yes, this covenant sounds like the Qingyan Tribe has taken advantage of it."

"Sun City won't get much from this, and we have to give our technology to the Qingyan Tribe. It's not cost-effective in any way."

"The Qingyan Tribe has long been jealous of our various things. Once they sign a covenant, they can buy whatever they want. It's just taking advantage. How come such a good thing doesn't happen to us."

…

Except for those who were the first to know, everyone else thought so and felt that doing so was completely thankless.

Alan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "This covenant was established after negotiation by the arbitration tribunal. It is just our unilateral proposal. It is not yet known whether the Qingyan tribe will agree to it."

"If the Qingyan tribe is not stupid, they will definitely agree."

"If I were from the Qingyan tribe, I would be so happy that I would be stupid."

…

Seeing a new round of controversy, Alan said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

When the crowd calmed down, Alan said: "You have only seen the benefits that the Qingyan Tribe has received, and those are obvious benefits. But we have not gained nothing. If the Qingyan Tribe joins the alliance, it will be under the jurisdiction of Sun City. We must abide by the rules."

Abide by the law and learn our writing and language. In other words, the Qingyan tribe has become one of us, tied to Sun City and sharing weal and woe. This is what we want."

Kurotsuchi stood up and explained: "There are still too few people in Sun City, and it will take a long time for us to develop and grow on our own. The Qingyan tribe has the same number of people as us. As long as they agree, our number can be doubled immediately. There is strength in numbers.

If the country is big, more people will join the army, more people will farm, and more resources will be created."

Lin Yan continued what Kuitu said: "That's right. The wilderness is boundless. The outside world is very big. There are more people, more powerful tribes and countries. If we want to go out, we must face them. Only we can do it.

Only when you are strong can you be fearless.”

Some people felt something was wrong and said: "We will stay here and not go out, and these problems will not occur."

Lin Yan shook his head, "That's not the case. If we don't go out, it doesn't mean that others can't come. If one day, a powerful tribe or country breaks in and wants to turn us into slaves, we are so disparate in strength, what can we do to resist?"

"That's right. We don't invade others, but people are unpredictable, and others will be jealous of our things. Looking at the current situation, the Qingyan and Heyuanye tribes are close to each other. If they unite and want to seize Sun City, for

They will ignore it to survive. Even if we narrowly win, we will be greatly damaged. It is better to solve the hidden dangers before they happen."

After Shui Sheng spoke loudly, everyone who objected fell silent.

They all know that the life of the Qingyan Tribe and the Wilderness Tribe cannot be compared with that of Sun City. Those people still rely on hunting for a living. They are hungry and the houses they live in are not good, so they will definitely be jealous.

If you think about it from another person's perspective, if they were a backward tribe, they would definitely have some thoughts when they saw such a beautiful Sun City.

After waiting for a few minutes, Alan saw that the crowd was silent and no one objected anymore, so he said: "I think everyone understands the reason. The alliance cannot be delayed. Hua Xiang will represent Sun City to negotiate with the Qingyan tribe. To show sincerity, bring

One hundred catties of wheat seeds, and we'll set off once the river thaws."
