Facing three pairs of extremely longing eyes, Lin Yan looked at the congressmen and said, "How do you think we should deal with it?"
Ye Meng was the first to say: "What happened in Mingcheng just happened. We don't have that many people and resources to absorb the Lotus Tribe at this time. The Lotus Tribe is very backward. If we want to develop, we need a lot of investment. I think we need to slow down."
Yu Cai: "I think so too. What happened in Mingcheng reminds us not to rush into expansion."
Hua Min: "The matter in Mingcheng is over. Lin Yan discovered the Lotus Tribe. It's not too far away. A tribe of more than 3,000 people is quite busy to absorb into the alliance."
Huang Ying: "It has been seven years since Mingcheng joined the alliance, and the alliance's population has tripled. At this time, there is no big problem in accepting a Lotus tribe."
…
After a while of discussion, some supported and some opposed, each insisted. Lin Yan looked around and said directly: "The Lotus Tribe has reasons that must be accepted."
Kurotsuchi, who had been silent all this time, immediately said, "Tell me about it." He felt that Lin Yan had brought the person back for more than just a casual look.
"This time when we went south, we not only found the Lotus Tribe. We went all the way south. At the Lotus Tribe, the Sun River merged into the Flower River and flowed southeast. After walking along the Flower River for more than half a year, we reached the end of the Flower River. It is a sea area. , the real sea.”
Hua Min: "Have you really seen the sea? Is it as vast as you said and the water is blue?"
Lin Yan nodded, "Call Feng Da and Huo Mai. They have seen it with their own eyes."
After waiting for a while, most of the people who were accompanying him were called over.
Except for Lin Yan, no one here has ever seen the sea, and no one can imagine what the sea looks like.
As for the people who had seen it with their own eyes, their gushing and shocked expressions made everyone feel hot and just wanted to see it in person.
Lin Yan said in a timely manner: "Looking at the sea is only one aspect, and it is not worth investing too much in. The sea is rich in resources and has all kinds of seafood. The inexhaustible sea water can dry the sea salt. This is the most important thing."
"Just imagine, people can't do without salt at any time. We have mastered the method of making sea salt, which is equivalent to a steady stream of money. Therefore, I think the position of the Lotus Tribe is very important. The only way for us to go south is to be included in the alliance. Very necessary.”
Hong Ling: "The mining of mineral salt in Qingyan requires a lot of investment, and I don't know how much storage there is. It would be great if we could use sea salt. However, if the distance is too far, the transportation cost will increase greatly."
Lin Yan: "The waterway is smooth and we have a large fleet. It is worthwhile to open a special transportation channel. The Lotus Tribe is located in the middle and can be used as a transfer station."
Shui Sheng: "It is indeed feasible. We still need to build a base on the seaside. There are a lot of things to do. We have to plan it in detail. The manpower and material resources involved, and how much investment is required, can send a fleet there once these are determined."
Huang Ying: "This matter involves a lot. The Ministry of Personnel, Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology are responsible for formulating a plan as soon as possible. The matter of the Lotus Tribe is also urgent, and it will be handled by the Ministry of Personnel and the Military Ministry."
Kurotsuchi: "This is a good arrangement. The military will fully cooperate."
The three Huayu people were very happy and excited. It was certain that the Lotus Tribe would join the alliance and could become a member of the alliance as soon as next year.
After the parliament passed it, everyone got busy. Whether it was going to the beach to make salt or the affairs of the Lotus Tribe were involved in all aspects, there were too many things to do.
Those going to the Lotus Tribe set off first, led by Xia Li personally and assisted by Hong Ling.
Huang Ying went to Mingcheng, and the Arbitration Court was handed over to Shui Sheng, Heitu and Lin Yan for joint management.
It was precisely because of Lin Yan's presence that she dared to do this. Huang Ying knew very well that she was forced to become an arbiter by the situation, and she needed to achieve results to prove herself.
There were constant chores every day, which was more tiring than concentrating on research. People kept coming to find him. Lin Yan sat in the office and sighed countless times that he was too tired.
There are endless people to meet, endless things to talk about, and she has to make decisions on everything big or small.
When Shui Sheng came in, Lin Yan looked bitter and resentful. He slumped down on the chair and raised his eyelids to take a look, "Don't tell me that something happened again. Just make your own decision."
"It's okay, I have good news for you."
Lin Yan looked at him suspiciously. These days, Shui Sheng was the most diligent in coming. "It better be good news. Let's talk about it."
"Blue Moon is back."
After Shui Sheng finished speaking, she quietly watched Lin Yan's reaction. As expected, in less than three seconds, she jumped up and was about to rush out.
After running a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Where is he?"
Lin Yan was very anxious. It had been four years since Lan Yue left and there had been no news, but he was finally back.
Shuisheng smiled and said: "There are many people at the pier, so don't rush there. As soon as I get the news, I will come to you immediately. If you show up at this time, you will definitely cause a siege, and it will definitely be more difficult for Lan Yue." Get away.”
"You're right. We'll wait here." Lin Yan suppressed his eagerness, "I don't know what happened to Lan Yue and the others, and why they were gone for so long. When I left, I felt that she must be better than me. I came back first, and I didn’t expect to be separated for a few years.”
"However, it is a good thing that people are back safely. With Lan Yue's ability, he must have discovered something, otherwise it would not have been delayed for such a long time."
Shui Sheng: "You have finished speaking. I don't know how to answer it."
"You don't usually talk much, especially lately. You talk endlessly when we meet. Now I need you to talk, but you don't."
"That's all business and I need to discuss it with you. I don't think you want to listen to what others are saying right now."
The two waited for more than half an hour before Lan Yue arrived.
As soon as they met, Lin Yan rushed forward, hugged Lan Yue tightly, and said excitedly: "I'm back now. If I don't come back, I'll be ready to sail to find you."
Lan Yue was excited, but her reason was still there, "That's an exaggeration. I'm very touched that you have such a heart."
After looking at each other, Lin Yan smiled and said: "The skin is a lot darker and I have suffered a lot. But I look more capable and have a better temperament."
A possibility came to mind, "Did you break through to level A?"
Lan Yue nodded, "You made a breakthrough early last year, what about you?"
Lin Yan's face fell. She was full of confidence. She thought she was sure of it, but she still couldn't make a breakthrough. In the end, she was beaten by Lan Yue. "Congratulations, you are the first person to get the red gold medal."
Shui Sheng chuckled, "Stop that jealous look of yours, it smells sour."
"Screw you, I didn't let you listen." Lin Yan rolled his eyes at Shui Sheng, turned to look at Lan Yue, and said with great interest: "Tell us quickly what you have seen and heard in the past few years."
On the way back, Lan Yue prepared a report and summarized what she had seen and heard in the past few years.
While talking, he took out the notes he had prepared for Lin Yan and Shui Sheng to read.
