After Losta finished speaking, Anos sat down with a calm demeanour and began to explain, "The purpose of convening this meeting today is primarily to discuss the comprehensive development of our Kingdom's livelihood for the future."

"Many among you may not have been involved in such initiatives before, so we will begin with the fundamentals to ensure everyone understands the vision ahead."

"The first topic is the overall arrangements for the former citizens of Roya Kingdom, who have now joined Tru Kingdom"

Anos paused for a moment, letting his words sink in before continuing, "The citizens of the former Tru Kingdom have reached a stable standard of living. They have access to sufficient food, clothing, employment, and a sense of purpose."

"Our Kingdom has cultivated its brand and developed robust economic resources. Now, the integration of the new citizens from Roya Kingdom will become our top priority."

Anos looked directly at Losta, signalling her to continue. "Minister of Commerce Losta, please explain the economic site planning for the former Roya Kingdom."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Losta rose respectfully and addressed the assembly. She unfolded a draft paper that detailed the economic strategies and said loudly, "By His Majesty's directives, we have already begun sorting and evaluating the overall situation of the former Roya citizens."

"The total population of Roya Kingdom was 27.68 million. However, approximately 25.25 million were struggling to meet their daily needs for food and clothing."

"Their economy was severely impoverished, leaving the majority of the populace in a state of economic stagnation."

Losta's voice grew more formal, "To address this issue, we have outlined plans to ensure that these individuals are brought into the fold of our growing economy."

"This includes access to employment, housing, and essential services. We will work to elevate their standard of living to match that of our existing citizens. The plans are as follows…"

What Losta delivered was nothing short of an official report, not only aimed at Anos but also for the entire leadership of the Tru Kingdom. Her words carried a sense of urgency, as she outlined the measures needed to integrate the Roya citizens seamlessly.

As Losta finished, murmurs spread among the citizens and officials present. There was a palpable sense of both hope and uncertainty.

From today, they knew the Tru Kingdom would establish new processing plants that would produce wine, beverages, tobacco, food products, household items, and more, providing jobs and boosting the economy.

For the people of Tru, this meeting marked the beginning of a new era one where expansion and prosperity would define the Kingdom's future.

Though this meeting had a strategic purpose, it also served as a powerful form of public relations, spreading news to the world that the Tru Kingdom was on the rise, with no additional help from the world government.

The citizens, however, were more subdued than expected. There were no shouts of excitement, as everyone remained focused and introspective, eager to hear how these changes might affect them personally.

Despite the enthusiasm surrounding new opportunities, they all understood that even with the creation of new factories, there was still much work ahead.

The sheer scale of the population meant that many people might still find themselves competing for these jobs.

Fortunately, the expanded territory of the Tru Kingdom could accommodate these developments. The resources and manpower existed to support the growth that Anos had promised.
