In the second year of Changtai, when the basic construction of Lihua Island was almost completed, Dongfang Huajin and Song Ci freed their hands and personally led the engineering team to lay mines on the islands of all sizes closest to Lihua Island in the marginal areas. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The engineer team is specially responsible for laying mines, clearing mines and digging mines, there are only ten people in total, and they are composed of henchmen of Song Ci and Dongfang Huajin, and each of them is absolutely loyal and trustworthy. Only a few people know what is going on with landmines.

In other words, the wisdom of Song Ci is really not covered. Dongfang Huajin "invented" the land mine, and after he figured out the principle, he started to transform it, and it actually improved the performance of the mine a lot. The most important point is that after the mine is buried in the ground, as long as the location of the mine is clear, it can be dug out at will, and absolute safety can be guaranteed.

Of course, if an enemy who does not understand the mysteries of landmines dares to dig mines, he will definitely suffer a big loss. Not to mention the enemy, even if you are your own people, if you dare to dig it, you will inevitably be blown away.

There are 35 large and small islands, of which there are 19 islands with an area of less than 300 acres, and these small islands do not have outposts, but only planted tall fruit trees and peanuts that cannot be hidden. These islands are mined around the island, leaving only a small entrance. This entrance, without walls or doors, is very private. It wasn't his own people, it wasn't the team in charge of the area, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling it, they didn't know that the entrance would be in a place hidden by vines.

Of the remaining sixteen islands, five of them are more than 2,000 acres in size. These islands are not too far from Ewha Island, and the farthest boat ride is only half an hour. Sixteen islands are spread out in rows of fans, as if embracing Ewha Island in their arms. Moreover, the islands are not far apart, so you can see each other from afar.

In other words, as long as these islands are firmly controlled in their hands, then the safety of Ewha Island will be guaranteed! No matter how bad it is, these islands can be used as observation posts, which can detect the enemy situation in time and quickly warn Ewha Island. With preparation, judging from the current strength of Ewha Island, the enemy will not be able to bargain at all.

Today's Ewha Island, except for the elderly over 60 years old, people in poor physical condition, and children under the age of five, it can be said that almost all of them are soldiers. Men, women, and children, after the busy farming, will actively devote themselves to military training.

People over the age of forty-five form a group of old people, and everyone learns one or two tricks that suit them and are very effective against the enemy. Then, properly exercise your endurance and improve your physical fitness. Exercise your reflexes, adaptability, and what to do when you encounter an enemy surprise attack, how to avoid casualties, and effectively strike at the enemy to protect your home and country.

Children between the ages of five and ten form a children's group, and every morning and evening, they gather together and run around the tree-lined road around the village to exercise. Each village has a tree-lined road around the village, where the villagers can walk, run and exercise, and the circle is about ten miles or so.

After the run, take a short break, and there will be people stationed in the nearby barracks who will come over for martial arts instruction. By the way, this martial arts instructor will also teach the children of the group to read five words every day, which can be regarded as literacy by the way.

Teenagers between the ages of 11 and 15 form a youth league, and in addition to running around the village twice every morning and evening, there are also people who come to guide them to practice martial arts every day, and they recognize ten big characters a day. Between the ages of 16 and 35, they directly form a militia, and in addition to farming and farming every day, they also have a very important task, that is, to train the troops. These people, when there was no war, were peasants; As soon as an enemy strikes, these militiamen can immediately drop their hoes and take up weapons such as bows and arrows, red tassel spears and swords, and transform into brave warriors.

Children in the city, starting at the age of three, must enter kindergartens and primary schools to study and learn martial arts. The big families and noble families are very spoiled by their sons, and they are too doting and indulgent in the hands of women, so they raise a lot of gentlemen.

It is said that "three-year-olds see old", three-year-old children, which is almost qualitative. Therefore, it is necessary to throw it to the school, let the master discipline it, and let the children learn the truth of being a human being in their daily interactions, under the guidance of the master, and in the various conflicts and friendships between themselves and outsiders.

In fact, from the beginning of the founding of the Qin State, the national policy of "one-year compulsory education" was set. Whether in the city or in the countryside, many compulsory education schools have been set up. Families from poor families can send children who have reached the age of six to study for a year. During this year, tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived, and the family only needs to pay a little pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the child.

During this year, the Master will teach the basic enlightenment readings of the Three Character Classic, the Thousand Character Text, the Hundred Family Names, and the Disciple Rules. There are generally 30 students in each class, and the top three students, all of whom have good character and personality, will be sent to government-run schools in various places to continue their studies for free for one year. During this year, if a person can maintain excellent grades and good moral character, he can also study for another year for free, and so on.

This reward system greatly stimulates the children's enthusiasm for learning, and stimulates the enthusiasm of parents to provide their children with learning time and a good learning environment. It's a virtuous circle, and a lot of good students, good children, have emerged for this. At least 10 out of every 30 children who have come out of a one-year compulsory education school will pay money to go to a government-run school to continue their studies.

As a result, a solid foundation was laid for the education of the Qin State.

The future Qin State, the younger generation, will not have much illiteracy.

In the spring of the third year of Changtai, Ewha Ocean University was established.

The Marine University, including the Shipbuilding Institute and the Military Academy, as well as a large shipyard. It is home to skilled shipbuilders from all over the country, as well as talented people with excellent swimming skills. Those who have a high level of diving and no problem with their character are almost all recruited.

Such a talent was still in the green country at the beginning, and he had already visited the country a few years before he came to the south. It turned out that the skilled craftsmen of Huali Academy in Cangcui Country, as well as the talented students in this area, were also moved by Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade step by step and "bought". These people, as well as their families, also came to Ewha Island with them.

Near the Ocean University, only two miles apart, a military camp was set up, and nearly a thousand soldiers were stationed. This barracks was set up specifically to protect the Marine University, especially the shipyards.

In the autumn of the third year of Changtai, Ewha Agricultural University, Ewha Business School and Ewha Forestry University were established.

In the spring of the fourth year of Changtai, the first orphanage and nursing home were founded.

In the summer of the fifth year of Changtai, Huali Medical College developed penicillin under the suggestion of Oriental Painting.

In the autumn of the same year, the first small steamship was successfully developed, which was a key step in the history of shipbuilding and of epoch-making significance. From then on, the shipbuilding industry began to flourish.

In the autumn of the sixth year of Changtai, the shipyard sold three small steamers to Cangcui in exchange for a large amount of iron ore and copper ore, as well as paper-making materials. Although the products of Ewha Island are also quite rich, only iron ore and papermaking materials are not very rich, for the sake of future generations, it is naturally not possible to over-exploit, or import some from the green country.

Anyway, the verdant country is vast and rich, and the land area is equivalent to a hundred Qin countries. In the future, the country will be rich and the people will be stronger, and the military strength will be strengthened, and it will be able to expand to the northwest and capture the territory of the Hu people who have repeatedly invaded the western border of the green country.

Material, so to speak, is so abundant that it seems to be inexhaustible. In exchange for those materials with the Qin State, Emperor Ruide was not distressed at all, but was very happy.

No gold, no silver, no grain, so good!

Anyway, as a person with Song Ci and Oriental Painting, he would definitely not use a weapon made of those iron ore to attack the Verdant Country, so it was enough, there was nothing to hesitate about. The two had promised him that as long as the people of the Green Country did not provoke the Qin State, they would never offend the Qin State. The territory is definitely going to be expanded, but it will only target the islands above the sea.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Changtai, the crown prince of Cangcui Kingdom accumulated countless resentments in his heart, deeply missing his exiled ex-wife and the eldest grandson of the former emperor who was imprisoned, and he was obsessed. As the days went on, his temperament gradually became a little distorted, and finally he couldn't suppress the mania and resentment in his heart, and he was very fierce in forming a party for personal gain, openly wooing officials in the DPRK and China, and even colluding with the scum in the rivers and lakes.

In the eyes of the world and the emperor, it is naturally clear, wanting to seize power and forcing the palace! If it was just like this, Emperor Radder would definitely endure it and wouldn't do anything to him. However, he regarded Emperor Ruide's forbearance as shame and cowardice, and even brazenly bought people's hearts everywhere in the Praetorian Guard, the Western Battalion, the major military camps, and the border barracks, and spread unfavorable rumors about the emperor and King Jing.

In the next step, when the wings are full, it is estimated that it will be forced to the palace!

When the time comes, if you kill the king and kill your brother, you will definitely not run away!

For a poisonous woman who has been exiled for many years, for the eldest grandson of the former emperor who was so vicious that he couldn't be saved at a young age, this son has become so unreasonable, so confused, so ruthless, the six relatives don't recognize it, so hopeless!

The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die!

Emperor Ruide was finally completely enraged, and finally made a ruthless move, resolutely abolishing the eldest son's crown prince and demoting him to a concubine. was confined with the former emperor's eldest grandson, so that the father and son could get along day and night, and the father-son relationship would be staged day by day.

He still doesn't believe it, the vicious boy who was trained by the poisonous woman can still be so filial, so respectful, and so precious to his father, who is already powerless?

Everything in the past is just pretending, not for the glory and wealth of the future. Now, the prince is no longer the prince, just a commoner who has been imprisoned and has no future at all, that selfish, cold and vicious boy, can still have deep affection for the abolished prince, filial piety and respect?

Promised, naturally negative!

Reddi is very confident, and he is not at all worried that these two will join forces and make some kind of moths. Having said that, he will still send his henchmen to supervise it well, lest the stewards in the imperial village be bribed by the two fathers and sons, or held hostage by the identities and momentum of the two people, and do something evil for them.

The deposed prince is ignorant, and he ignores his father's care and love for him over the past few decades, and does such a thing that despises the emperor's authority and dignity, then he must bear the wrath of the Son of Heaven!

The holy decree of abolishing the crown prince had just reached the ears of the world, and immediately afterward, Emperor Ruide made another decree to appoint his second son, King Jing, Song Tailai, as the crown prince. The next day, the newly released Royal Highness the Crown Prince was slipped into the imperial study by Ruide Diti, and followed him to learn how to deal with the government and how to govern a huge country.

This posture has the posture of cultivating Song Tailai in advance and Zen position early. This represents absolute trust and love for him.

Song Tailai was full of excitement and joy, and sincerely thanked his father for his trust and love in his heart, and secretly vowed to be closer to his father, more loyal, and more caring and loving in the future.

In this life, no matter when and where, no matter what the situation encounters, he will never betray his father, and he will not make words and deeds that make his father sad and disappointed. I must be sure that I will honor my father well, govern the country well, for the country and the people, for my father and the emperor, and for myself, be a good man, handle state affairs well, and manage the officials of the court and the people well.

Work hard, maintain long-term good-neighborly friendship with the Qin State, and protect and help each other.

Thinking of his difficulties over the years, and remembering that he had been almost killed and poisoned by the prince's subordinates and the remnants of the crown princess several times, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts came to my heart, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's good to be alive! survived, not only can he honor his father well, lest his father have to choose someone else as the crown prince, and he has to worry about the heir all the time, worrying that that person will be unfavorable to his father.

Those royal brothers, one by one, are almost all scheming people, and they are also selfish and cold people. Among them, there are the merits of the abolished prince and the abolished princess, as well as the merits of those people's biological mothers and foreign families. There are three who are vicious and vicious in their bones, and the two royal brothers who are still kind and humane, and who are close to him, are too weak and easy to bully, and the status of the biological mother is too low, so they are not qualified candidates for heirs.

That's good now!

In the future, when he inherits the throne, he can not have so many scruples, he can go to Pear Blossom Island, or invite the king of Qin and the king to come to the capital and have a good gathering to relieve his longing.

Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, Changhui is like a flower looking for wind and leaves, and a few small ones, are you all okay? Surely, you have a very happy life, you have a good time, right? I hope that the day of gathering will not be too far away, and I hope that day will not be far away.

Song Tailai is full of infinite expectations and longing for the future.

For a better future, he is more diligent, more humble and cautious, and more filial and calm than in the past. It seems that overnight, he has changed as if he was a person, and he can always give people a feeling of being trustworthy.

Song Tailai's words and deeds, looking at Emperor Ruide's eyes, were infinitely relieved and happy in his heart.

Very good, so good! This son finally didn't disappoint him, he finally didn't look away again. It's not right, this son has been liked more by his eldest son since he was a child, and he is more reassured. It's just that the abolished prince is the eldest son, and he was also a good boy with good morals and talents. The eldest son is also good in all aspects, and he has no reason to appoint another person as the crown prince.

Now, such a result can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

At least, with the lessons of the abolished prince, Tailai will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and will not be manipulated by a woman, lose herself, and become a prince and monarch who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

And Tai Lai has always had a very good relationship with King Qin Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade, and if there is a problem in the green country in the future, the two will definitely not sit idly by. Not to mention, for the sake of Tailai, these two people will definitely not send troops to attack the green country and occupy the land of the green country!

In the autumn of the sixth year of Changtai, people sent out to explore the surrounding sea discovered an island with an area of about 30,000 square kilometers. This island is not far from Ewha Island, and it only takes two days and one night by boat. Moreover, on this island, there are many resources that are scarce in Ewha Island, such as jadeite and iron ore.

In the summer of the same year, another island of similar size was discovered parallel to the island. This island is rich in all kinds of fruits, and even grows a large number of wild millet and bud sweet potatoes, which are especially suitable for the growth of grain. In the future, it can be opened up into the first grain development base of Qin.

Between these two large islands, there are also five or six islands of thousands of square kilometers. One of the islands, which is covered with iron ore, is simply an iron island. There is also an island where a large amount of timber grows suitable for building ships, and large timber that is more than 1,000 years old can be found everywhere.

This discovery can be said to be a huge surprise, which can greatly alleviate the shortage of iron ore in Qin. To build a ship, you need a lot of iron ore, not to mention wood of that texture. In other words, coconut trees can be found everywhere in Ewha Island, and there is very little wood suitable for building ships. Before, many of them were imported from the Verdant Country.

In the autumn of the tenth year of Taichang, the large steamship was successfully built.

In the summer of the following year, the 3,000-nautical-mile sea area of Ewha Island was sailed at the speed of a large ship in about five days. So far, the territory of Qin has expanded from only one island to thousands of islands. Among them, there are more than 300 islands with an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers. There are no less than 10 islands of more than 20,000 square kilometers.

That's not all, these islands are all desert islands. Except for some large beasts, there were no speculated wildlings, and the people who occupied these islands were very few and the price paid was small. Encountering a large group of fierce beasts, several mines shot together, and those fierce beasts that had never dealt with people and gunpowder were simply stunned in place, and were destroyed by the rain of arrows caused by mines and bows and arrows.

Mineral resources, aquatic resources, food resources, and so on are becoming more and more abundant, and people are just that. From the original 100,000 to today's 1230,000, there is not much more. However, the country is much richer, its military strength is growing day by day, and the people have gone from being well fed and clothed to living a well-off life today.

Emperor Raider was finally completely relieved, and he was indescribably relieved and happy.

Song Ci is doing well, he must be happy to see it. This means that the Qin State will not covet the resources of the Cangcui Country, and will not come to attack the Cangcui Kingdom. It also means that Song Ci is living happily, and his children and grandchildren will have enough foothold. In the days to come, we will not fall into a miserable situation because of lack of resources.

When the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will not think of rebellion; When the country is rich and the people are strong, the military strength will naturally go up, and as the king of a country, he will have enough strength to suppress those restless courtiers and people, without worrying about how to raise military expenses.

This year, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Ruide took the initiative to give the throne to the crown prince Song Tailai, retreated behind the scenes, and became the emperor at ease. Over the years, he has taken a decoction made with thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old lingzhi every few months, and his body has always been very good and healthy. Queen, too.

King Rui is still alive and healthy, and he has worked very hard for the good-neighborly friendship between Qin and Cangcui. I also have to say that it is precisely because of him that from time to time, he will say a few good words about Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade in front of Emperor Ruide. Therefore, when Emperor Ruide accidentally made a mistake, he would suddenly wake up and warn himself not to doubt Song Ci casually, but to believe that the character of Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade would not take the initiative to do anything to Cangcui Country.

In this year, at the suggestion of Emperor Ruide, Song Tailai officially sent an envoy to visit the Qin State. In the past ten years, Jiang Hai and Ye Tian were sent to take charge of the negotiations with the Qin State. This is the first time that the imperial court has sent envoys from the capital in a solemn manner, and the envoys include the eldest son of the new emperor Song Tailai, as well as the best eldest grandson of King Rui.

The two countries that are closely related by blood have officially established diplomatic relations, taking an epoch-making step. Between the two countries, they are truly interdependent, protect and help each other, and communicate with each other.

Oriental Painting Brocade made a friendly suggestion, suggesting that Cangcui Guo build a north-south Grand Canal and divert water from the south to the north to solve the problem of serious water shortage in the north. This suggestion received great attention and recognition from Rui Dedi and Song Tailai, and the operation of digging the canal was quickly launched.

Song Ci sent several water conservancy experts from the Qin State to support them in friendship, and Dongfang Huajin also wrote a long letter and put forward a lot of very pertinent opinions. So that the excavation of the canal can be carried out smoothly, and there are many detours.

The canal incident further promoted the friendship between the two countries, and produced very beautiful flowers and sweet fruits. In this year, on the northwest border of the Cangcui country, the Hu people invaded on a large scale, and the border military situation was urgent. Song Tailai had a headache, this time, it was a joint invasion by several countries! The cavalry of the other party is strong, but it is not comparable to the cavalry of the green country.

The situation is very critical!

Song Tailai sent an envoy to ask for urgent help from the Qin State.

For this reason, Song Ci, Dongfang Huajin and Song Changhui had a long talk, and unanimously decided to provide thousands of land mines to Song Tailai to deter the Hu people. If you can, take the opportunity to take a dozen fortresses outside the pass in one fell swoop, and vigorously deal a blow to the enemy's arrogance. In this way, the arrogant Hu people had to withdraw thousands of miles away, and at least within fifty years, they would not have the strength to invade the Cangcui Country on a large scale!

The surrounding small countries were all severely shocked by the strength of the Qin State and surrendered one after another. Those small countries that used to have friction with the southern border of the verdant country have also put away their bad intentions and dare not easily provoke wars.

You must know that the Cangcui Kingdom is now as good as the Qin State. If they dared to invade the Cangcui Kingdom, the Qin State that was close in front of them would definitely not stand idly by.

The military strength of the Qin State, the legendary "divine weapon" (that is, the mine), must not be underestimated, it is even more terrifying than the thunder of the day, and it must not be touched.

Emperor Ruide and Song Tailai are both grateful to Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade.

In fact, Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade are also selfish in doing this.

Otherwise, why don't you give the Lord of Haijiao County a mine, and not the governor of Liangguang, Jiang Hai, so that these two people can plant mines on the border, so that those small border countries that are about to move will not dare to have bad intentions? Why, did you give Song Tailai a mine, and also indicate that the mine should be used on the northwest frontier?

This is because, if the southern border of the Green Country is too comfortable, it is inevitable that the idea will come to the Qin State. At that time, friction between the two countries will certainly be indispensable. The mines were used to support the northwest military camp, which was to expand the territory of the verdant country to the northwest and seize those fortresses and those grasslands with abundant water and grass. In this way, the monarch and officials of the Cangcui Kingdom will not be eyeing the Qin State.

This plan is simply not too good!

And in fact, everything did go according to the ideas of the two.

Two years later, the territory of the Verdant Country really advanced thousands of miles to the northwest. In one fell swoop, it won many strategic places, as well as grasslands with abundant water and grass.

The friendship between the two countries has become stronger and more beautiful. The only little suspicion and estrangement is also negligible.

The mutual help of the two countries naturally outweighed the disadvantages for the Qin State. Not to mention anything else, at least on the other side of the sea, those countries that coveted the Qin State have never dared to make a move against the Qin State.

Today, the Cangcui State has purchased many large and medium-sized ships from the Qin State, which can form several fleets with strong military forces. If the Qin State is in trouble, the fleet of the Cangcui Kingdom will definitely come to support. Therefore, it is not an easy thing to attack and occupy the Qin State. If you don't do it well, you will be chased and intercepted by the other party, and you will end up with the whole army being wiped out.

Song Tailai's eldest son, that is, the crown prince, and the eldest grandson of King Rui, and Ye Mao Xunfeng and Song Changhui brothers, are very close to each other. Several people made a vow that they would never destroy the friendship between the two countries in their lifetimes. In addition, they will set up ancestral precepts and sternly admonish their children and grandchildren not to regard the other country's country as an enemy.

The days are not too pretty.

The emperors, officials and people of the two countries all agreed that the Oriental Painting Brocade played a great role in promoting it. Her personality charm, her broad mind, her foresight, her wisdom and erudition, and her ideological concepts have made the people of the two countries sincerely admire, admire, and grateful, and have also greatly promoted the prosperity of the two countries, the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people.

Song Ci took Dongfang Huajin's hand and stared at her affectionately, his eyes were as blazing as the sun: "Huajin, it is my great blessing to have you in this life!" If there is an afterlife, I will definitely try to find you and be with you. Life and life, always together, never abandon, love to the white! ”

Oriental Painting Brocade looked back with a smile, full of affection: "Xinzhi, thank you for loving me so much, thank you for being so good to me!" In this life, it is also a great blessing for me to be able to have you! If there is an afterlife, I am still willing to be your wife, live hand in hand with you, have children, and love to the end. Life after life, always together, never abandon! ”

I believe that with our kindness and our contribution to the common people in the world, there will definitely be an afterlife. In the next life, I will still love you, and I will still be with you. No matter where you are, no matter where I am, no matter what kind of disparity in status there is between you, I will look for you, try to exclude the omnipotent, be with you, and never separate!

Song Ci silently swore in his heart: No one can stop me from looking for you, loving you, and being with you! Painting brocade, I love you, that love is full in my heart, and it is so full that it is about to overflow! In the next life, I will only be yours, and I can only be yours!

Gods and Buddhas, have you heard my heart?

From today onwards, I will work harder to do good deeds, to work hard to govern the country, so that the people can live a peaceful and peaceful life. In the event of a natural disaster*, I will also be generous and do what I can to save people from fire and water.

Good people are rewarded, aren't they?

It must be yes, good people, there must be good rewards!

In this life, I want to do more good deeds and do more good deeds. In this way, I hope that these blessings can be accumulated and can fall on the body of the painting brocade in the next life.

If there is an afterlife, whether you and I can be together or not, I hope you can live happily. In the next life, we will work together to live a happier and happier life than this life!

I love you! One life, one life, one life!
