Yan Nan was very excited after seeing Lin Yi's big promise.

They are ruthless but steady, and there is also the army to cooperate with them. In addition, the Yan army will also have these muskets in the future.

He... was actually very satisfied with Lin Yi's method.

Then he began to look carefully at Lin Yi's suggestions.

The first thing was trade, and then Lin Yi added the condition of sending people to help Yan State build some entertainment cities to improve living standards.

Next are administration and law.

Make modifications without violating the customs, habits and morals of the State of Yan.

It can be regarded as the "alignment granularity" of the two countries.

"Yes, if we trace our origins, we are all Han Chinese."

"With the Xiongnu as our enemy, I think we can transform them."

Yan Nan nodded as he spoke.

Everything Lin Yi wrote touched his heart.

The greatest advantage of the State of Yan was its martial spirit, and its greatest disadvantage was also its martial spirit.

With Lin Yi's method, the only problem is simply some forces that have gained benefits in Yan State.

"I can agree to these conditions, but I still need your help."

After Yan Nan finished reading, he put the book away.

"You don't need our help. Once we march together, everything will fall into place naturally."

"It will take us a month to build the weapons and train the troops."

"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Yan Nan nodded repeatedly.

"However, if we follow your approach, it would be two countries with one system."

After nodding, he only made this point.

"In the future, both Yan State and Dayong will eventually be unified."

"As the saying goes, long periods of unity will inevitably lead to division, and long periods of division will inevitably lead to unity!"

Lin Yi spoke slowly, looking very relaxed, as if speaking casually, "Since that's the case, why don't we prepare for future unification? Both sides should be content with the status quo and develop well. When the future unification comes, we will still be remembered in history books."

"Yes, if we do this, whether it is the final unification of Dayong or Yan State, or any other country, they will speak well of it."

"This lays the foundation for unification!"

Huangfu Qingling was also a little excited and was moved by Lin Yi's "big pie".

All the affairs after death have been arranged. What a big deal!

After Yan Nan returned to the side hall to rest with some thoughts, Lin Yi and Huangfu Qingling started discussing again.

"Lin Yi, what do you plan to do after you resign as Prime Minister?"

"shipbuilding?"

Huangfu Qingling said, asking Lin Yi to sit down for a while and have a good chat.

"Let's get some basics."

"Let's fix the houses first, and then we can add more rail bike routes."

"Then both water and land transportation must be strengthened..."

Lin Yi replied slowly, "At least the entire Dayong must be able to withstand multiple disasters and also be able to fight a war."

Then Lin Yi settled an account with Huangfu Qingling.

According to the current military salary of 30 taels per soldier per month, for 10,000 soldiers, the monthly salary would be 300,000 taels.

Including various military supplies, a year-long expedition would cost at least 10 million taels.

"Then why did you go to war against the Huns?"

Huangfu Qingling was a little confused.

"Fighting the Xiongnu will unite the Yan State, and if trade is established, the annual income will be more than one million taels."

Lin Yi slowly replied, "Unity is based on interests, and it is greater than interests."

Then he told Huangfu Qingling some "united front" tactics, such as the power of unity and clear rewards and punishments...

That night, Huangfu Qingling was greatly enlightened.

He never thought that Lin Yi knew so much about governing a country.

Originally he just thought that Lin Yi was talented, but now it seems that Lin Yi even has the ability to be emperor.

She also understood why Lin Yi repeatedly declined the position of Prime Minister.

If Lin Yi were allowed to continue to serve as prime minister, he would become more powerful than his master within a few months.

Unless one trusts Lin Yi 100%, one will doubt him, suppress him, and regret it...

"I would like to go with you to visit various places in Dayong."

"It's just right. I've been staying in the palace for a long time, so I have to go on a private visit."

Huangfu Qingling's meaning was very clear. She wanted to go out with Lin Yi to have a look. By the way, they could also build Dayong.

She didn't dare to think about going there.

After the prime minister was gone, she had to deal with mountains of memorials every day.

If I leave with Lin Yi, won’t the court be in chaos?

But Lin Yi was already preparing the so-called cabinet, so she was able to propose these.

"If you want, you can."

"I've almost finished preparing the cabinet."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. In his opinion, this was what Huangfu Qingling wanted to ask about how the cabinet handled the matter.

You can't really let her, the emperor, run around everywhere, right?

Then Lin Yi told his plans.

The position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet was given to Ning Tian. He was a man of good manners, and would think things through when faced with a problem. He was also absolutely loyal to Huangfu Qingling.

Subsequently, four constant attendants were appointed under the chief minister of the cabinet, including Bao Bu Tong, Duan Xu, Chen Xu and a "disciple" from the Ministry of Works.

Under the eunuchs, several officials will be assigned.

After entering the cabinet, these people will not hold official positions and will handle matters solely for the emperor.

"Their role is, first of all, to sort the memorials and categorize them into batches according to urgent, important, minor, and trivial matters."

"Secondly, it is to propose solutions to some minor matters and small issues."

"Third, these memorials will be submitted to the Prime Minister for confirmation and review."

"Finally, His Majesty took action to inspect it."

Lin Yi explained.

"Why not let Bao Bu Tong be the Prime Minister?"

"I trust him even more."

Huangfu Qingling asked slowly.

"Bao Bu Tong is indeed an expert at solving cases, but if you ask him to do everything comprehensively, he might lose sight of the big picture."

Lin Yi replied, "These days, I have inspected all the ministers."

"Then I will try it after Yan Nan leaves."

Huangfu Qingling had high expectations for the "leadership team" suggested by Lin Yi.

As Lin Yi left, Huangfu Qingling stretched and returned to her bedroom to sleep.

The next morning, before the court session, Yan Nan came to Huangfu Qingling's study and waited.

"Huangfu, I thought a lot last night."

"I have no objection to Lin Yi's stuff."

Yan Nan spoke slowly, first with a smile and then with a tone of dejection, "However, I want to add a condition. When we march north together, I want Lin Yi to come along."

"Without him, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Hearing these words, Huangfu Qingling frowned slightly, "I don't have any objection, but it depends on what Lin Yi says."

"You and I are both Lin Yi's friends, so we should know best what Lin Yi is thinking."

After she answered slowly, she immediately summoned Lin Yi to the palace.

After hearing Yan Nan's conditions, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

"It's not impossible, but... I just don't have to put in any effort, right?"

"I don't know anything about fighting anyway. The most I know is weapons and equipment."

Lin Yi set a restriction on himself: "Refuse to work overtime"!
