Lin Yan saw Huang Ying's refusal, she didn't insist, knowing that Huang Ying couldn't call the shots in this matter.

"Who is in charge of this?"

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

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll get the military ministry and the arbitral tribunal to agree. ”

In the next two months, in addition to attending classes, Lin Yan only did two things, engraving molds and copying books.

The effect of focusing on this is also obvious, her mental power has grown rapidly, the visual distance has reached twelve meters, and the feeling of touching the real thing is becoming clearer and clearer.

Two-thirds of the foundation of the herbs is complete, and with more effort, it will be possible to complete it all before the next year's departure.

On December 20, the seventh year of the solar era was coming to an end, and the arbitral tribunal convened an annual general meeting of managers at all levels.

As a representative, Baiyun summed up the achievements made this year, such as a bumper harvest of wheat, more than double the amount of iron ore mined compared with last year, and a great increase in the efficiency of each factory.

Feng Hua, Minister of Finance, reported on the financial situation of the year, and the overall balance was achieved.

Minister of Materials Ming Lan reported on the types and quantities of weapons, swords and other equipment produced this year, compared with last year, the number is very considerable. Among them, the number of frame cars increased by thirty-six, and the number of large ships increased.

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

The paper mill is under the management of the laboratory, which is managed by Bai Chen himself, and the amount of paper produced is five times that of last year. Printing was also successful, and the first batch of enlightenment textbooks was printed in 300 copies.

As a base for cultivating talents, a total of 362 people graduated from the school and went to work in various positions, using what they have learned to contribute to Sun City.

As soon as the weapons research laboratory was established, it made crossbow arrows, which were recognized and affirmed by everyone.

The medical laboratory has successfully produced antidote pills and hemostatic powder, which are used to stop bleeding and detoxify, and it is more convenient to carry them with you when you go out.

At the end of the year, Shi Zhi and Ye Cong were in charge of the physical and chemical laboratory, which used quicklime, flour and grease to make a miniature bomb, although the power was not large, but the sound was very loud, and it was very effective in driving away birds and beasts in the field.

……

Summing up the achievements, Ah Lan affirmed everyone's efforts, and she talked about her plans for the next year, and the most surprising thing was the alliance with the Qingyan tribe.

If the Qingyan tribe wants wheat seeds, they must sign an alliance 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 already been drawn up, and Alan asked the aquatic life to read it aloud on the spot.

As an alliance, the Qingyan tribe can buy wheat seeds at a 20% discount on the market price, and is also eligible to purchase weapons and technology from Sun City. Clansmen are free to travel to and from Sun City, and they can also settle in Sun City, and enjoy the same rights as the people of Sun City.

And the Qingyan tribe must obey the jurisdiction of Sun City, abide by the laws of Sun City, and learn the language and script of Sun City. Sun City has the same rights to receive resources from the Qingyan tribe.

All in all, as long as the Qingyan tribe joins the Sun Alliance, the two sides are a community of interests, and Sun City will take the Qingyan tribe to develop and progress together.

As an alliance, it cannot be betrayed, and in case of default, it will be sanctioned by Sun City, and it is not ruled out that it will be resolved by force.

Some people learned in advance, and it was not surprising. Someone who heard for the first time that Lao Hei was one of them immediately asked: "The covenant will not do us much good, and once the wheat seed is given, our flour will not be sold." The Qingyan tribe doesn't have anything of value except salt, and we have lost it. ”

"Yes, this covenant sounds like the Qingyan tribe has taken a big advantage."

"Sun City doesn't get much from this, and we have to give our technology to the Qingyan tribe, it's not cost-effective to look at it."

"The Qingyan tribe has long been jealous of our various things, and once they sign an alliance, they can buy whatever they want, and they are completely taking advantage. How can such a good thing not fall on our heads? ”

……

Except for those who were the first to know, the rest of the people thought so, and felt that it was completely thankless.

Ah Lan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "This covenant was established after consultation by the arbitration tribunal, and it is only our unilateral proposal, and it is unknown whether the Qingyan tribe will agree to it." ”

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

"If I were from the Qingyan tribe, I would be stupid with joy."

……

Seeing the resurgence of a new round of controversy, Ah Lan said loudly: "Be quiet, listen to me." ”

Waiting for the crowd to calm down, Ah Lan said: "You have only seen the benefits that the Qingyan tribe has obtained, and those are obvious benefits. But we are not for nothing, the Qingyan tribe joins the alliance, and they must be under the jurisdiction of Sun City, obey the law, and learn our words and languages. In other words, the Qingyan tribe has become a part of us, tied to Sun City, and shares common interests. That's what we want. ”

Heitu stepped forward and explained, "There are still too few people in Sun City, and it will take a long time for us to grow and develop on our own. The Qingyan tribe is about the same number as us, and as long as they agree, our number can be doubled immediately. The more people there are, the more people will join the army, the more people will farm, and the more resources will be created. ”

Lin Yan continued with Hei Tu's words and said, "That's right. The wilderness is boundless, the outside world is big, there are more people, more powerful tribes and nations. If we want to go out, we must face them, and only if we are strong enough can we be fearless. ”

Some people felt that it was wrong and said, "We will stay in this area and if we don't go out, there will be no such problems." ”

Lin Yan shook his head, "That's not the case. Just because we don't go out doesn't mean others can't come. If one day, a powerful tribe or country breaks in and wants to turn us into slaves, and we have a great disparity in strength, what can we use to resist? ”

"That's right, we don't encroach on others, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and others will look at our things. For now, the two tribes of Qingyan and Heyuan are close, and if they unite to seize Sun City, they will ignore it in order to survive. Even if we win, we will be very damaged. It's better to solve the hidden danger before it happens. ”

After the water sang loudly, those who opposed it fell silent.

They all know that the life of the Qingyan tribe and the wilderness tribe cannot be compared with Sun City, those people still live by hunting, they are hungry and full, and the house they live in is not good, they will definitely be red-eyed.

Think about it from another perspective, if they are a backward tribe, they will definitely have thoughts in their hearts when they see such a good Sun City.

After waiting for a few minutes, Ah Lan saw that the crowd was silent, and no one objected, so he said: "I think everyone understands the reason." The alliance could not be delayed, and Hua Xiang went to negotiate with the Qingyan tribe on behalf of Sun City, and in order to show his sincerity, he brought a hundred catties of wheat seeds, and set off when the river thawed. ”

And so it was settled. Flower fragrance was entrusted with the task of preparing for the next trip.
