After the banquet, it was late at night.

Dotted stars and a crescent moon hang in the night sky, shining inside and outside the capital of thistle.

When Ji Kang returned to the door of his dormitory, Wangcai called "Wangwang" twice, and then pounced on Ji Kang.

The young king bowed down and touched Wangcai's head.

There is a popular saying: "Chickens are only six years old, dogs are only eight years old." ”

But Ji Kang knows that this is just a statement caused by the limitations of people's living conditions today.

Whether it is in the Prince's Mansion or the current Jidu Palace.

Who doesn't know Ji Kang's "love and value" for Wangcai!

Wangcai has been cared for since he was a child, and like Ji Kang every day, he pays special attention to hygiene and diet.

Needless to say, let's talk about food, Wangcai's diet is cooked food, and the water drunk is "cool and white" that has been boiled.

To put it mildly, Wangcai usually lives a much better life than the ordinary people of Yan Kingdom!

But this kind of unfairness. Even in Ji Kante's previous life when he paid attention to human rights, it also existed, didn't it?

So Wangcai, who is now eleven years old, is still alive and well, and his appetite is twice as good.

Under Ji Kang's touch, Wangcai "hummed" twice aggrievedly.

Ji Kang smiled and said to Wangcai: "Wangcai! I know you miss me, but I miss you too! By the way, Shi Kang misses you very much. I'll take you to see him when I'm free. He is now an admiral, very majestic. ”

After teasing Wangcai for a while, Ji Kang entered the study of the dormitory.

Wangcai followed in and made a round in the study as usual. Turning around and going out, he lay down at the door, on top of a blanket specially prepared for it, guarding Ji Kang's dormitory.

After taking a shower and reviewing the paperwork for a while, Ji Kang was a little tired.

After thinking about it, he tied his cloak and walked out of the dormitory, heading towards the courtyard where Qingmei lived.

Qingmei didn't expect that Ji Kang was so late that he could come to his dormitory, and she was very happy.

Ji Kang stood in front of the couch and looked at his chubby daughter-in-law, Ji Wu, who was asleep.

"Your Majesty, this girl knows that she eats and sleeps all day long, and she eats when she wakes up, and it seems that she is also heartless and liverless."

Qingmei said this to Ji Kang about her daughter.

"Hey! This is good, the child can eat and sleep, which is good for her growth. ”

Ji Kang gently kissed his daughter's chubby little face.

Qingmei took a closer look at Ji Kang and found that Ji Kang's eyes were very gentle when she looked at her eldest daughter.

When she returned to the palace and saw her mother Ji Zhao, her mother was not very satisfied with Qingmei giving birth to a daughter to Ji Kang.

However, Ji Kang was overjoyed.

Qingmei was originally a little worried, but seeing Ji Kang like this at this moment, she was completely relieved.

It seems that Kiyoki said that Ji Kang likes girls, and that's true!

"The Queen Mother's thinking is too old, don't worry about it." Ji Kang comforted Qingmei Dao.

"The king said that, and the concubine never complained about the queen mother's thoughts. The queen mother also wants the concubine to give birth to a boy for the king, after all, there are many sons and many blessings! However, the concubine's stomach is not angry, and she gave birth to a girl to the king, and the concubine is really a little guilty. ”

"What nonsense? The girl is good, and the widow likes his daughter. ”

The ninth day of the ninth month of September, the day of ancestor worship.

Early in the morning, Ji Kang came to the Zongmiao, accompanied by Zongzheng Ji Ming and his eldest brother Ji Xi, led the royal clan of Yan to worship the ancestors of Yan State.

In front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors and ancestors, Ji Kang stated many things in the Yan Kingdom since he ascended the throne to the ancestors and ancestors.

In this era, there is already the saying of the Double Ninth Festival of September.

According to the Book of Changes, the so-called "Chongyang" means again. Nine is the pole of the yang number, and the ninth day of the ninth month of September is the weight of the two yangs, and the ninety-nine is the same as "long-lasting".

Since ancient times, the people of China have believed that the ninth day of the ninth month of September means a long time and good fortune.

Therefore, there is the sigh of "gathering Chongyang into the emperor's palace" in Qu Yuan's poem "Far Travel".

According to Ji Kang's proposal, the law of Yan Kingdom has prepared to officially designate the ninth day of September as the "Respect for the Elderly Day" of Yan Kingdom.

After incorporating Qidi into the territory of Yan Kingdom, Ji Kang felt that he had done more.

After discussing with several cabinets of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, it was prepared that after the autumn harvest, the twenty counties of the Yan Kingdom, nearly three hundred counties, would begin to enter a new round of infrastructure construction on a large scale.

Now the court of Yan State has been convinced that infrastructure construction can improve the country's economy and improve the people. After all, this is the experience that Liaodi has gained from practice for more than 10 years.

Just as the king said, infrastructure construction must be carried out, and it must be carried out on a large scale, as long as we pay attention to the problem of "degree".

First of all, it is to repair the road.

In this era, various countries already have the theory of "straight road" and "galloping road".

The so-called "straight road" is what the people call the official road.

The standards of each country are different, and the official standards of Yan and Qin are almost the same.

But now the standard of the straight road of the Yan State is more advanced than that of the Qin State.

The width of the straights is required to be four to six meters, and the general requirement is fifty steps. The road surface is 1 meter to 1.5 meters above the ground. The base of the road is compacted with a mixture of sand and gravel and covered with cement.

Every fifty paces on both sides of the road, a tree was planted.

Now, in addition to the four counties in Qidi, the other sixteen counties adjacent to each other have all built this so-called straight road. The completion of the straight road greatly facilitated the travel of business travelers and people, as well as the mobilization of troops.

The plan for this year and next year is to prepare for the autumn harvest and adopt the method of lump sum, between the four counties and county governments of Qidi and important cities, according to the standards of Yanguo, on the basis of the original straight road in Qidi, and build the official road.

Let the four counties of Qidi be closely connected with Jidu, Wuyang, Hejian and other places in the north.

After the summer harvest, in addition to the regular army, military training was maintained. The construction corps, the reserves, and the people were all mobilized to devote themselves to infrastructure construction. The government paid the reservists and the people who worked.

And the so-called "Chidao", in Ji Kang's view, is the railway network.

From Ji Kang's point of view, this is simply "incredible".

He could never have imagined that in this era, I already have the same "railway" in Huaxia as in his previous life.

The principle is no different from the railroad of the previous life, it is still a double line, except that it is not pulled by a steam locomotive, but by horsepower.

Of course, the rails are not made of steel, but made of specially made wood with a hard texture that has been treated with antiseptics.

The roadbed is rammed very strongly, and the sleepers are laid on top of the roadbed.

The material of the sleepers is relatively soft, not only to reduce the amount of work, but also not to open up a wide range of wood sources, but also to consciously choose.

The relatively soft sleepers can be closely combined with the rammed very hard roadbed, so that the track is stable. It also ensures that the car is on the track and can run quickly and smoothly.

The distance between the sleepers coincides with the steps of the horses pulling the carts.

There is a special station according to the distance. It is used as a base for the replacement of horses and the maintenance of gallops.

The speed of the gallop, by constantly changing horses, can be done in one day and one night, more than 600 miles.

Of course, not every country has it.

Because of the horses, as far as Ji Kang knows, the only countries that have built galloping roads are Qin, Zhao, and Yan.

There is only one Chi Road that has been repaired at present, that is, the Chi Road between Jidu and Wuyang, which is built by Ji Kang's great-grandfather Yan Zhaowang. This gallop road connects the three capitals of Yan Kingdom tightly.

Only by standing beside the gallop and looking at the track leading to the distance, Ji Kang really understood what the true meaning of "car on the same track" was, and felt the real shock from his heart.

This is my Huaxia! This is my great nation!

Ji Kang sometimes has been thinking, if I don't have so many wars and internal friction in China. These gallops, if they have been preserved, will continue to be used.

Will the history of my China be more brilliant? What are the consequences for the whole world?

Secondly, there is the water conservancy project.

At present, the major water conservancy projects are still carried out in the four counties of Qidi, especially the two rivers water conservancy project presided over by Zheng Guo and Zhou Zi.

In the 16 counties of the original Yan Kingdom, water conservancy projects have been basically improved. The rest is to gradually refine and improve every year. Of course, there is a lot of room for improvement and perfection, but this can only be achieved according to the development of water conservancy engineering technology in the future.

In Ji Kang's vision, at least in the past few years, through the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects, suitable water conservancy engineering talents and teams will be cultivated to eliminate the flood problems that Yan Guo will face in the future.

This is also fortunate that Yan State is located at the northern end of the Central Plains, which cannot be compared with the annual floods in the southern Chu State.

But sooner or later, you're going to have to face the flooding in the south, aren't you?

Thinking of this, Ji Kang, who was in the study, walked to the map hanging on the wall again.

His eyes were not looking at Yan Kingdom, but at the rest of the Central Plains.

The attendant who waited for Ji Kang ordered the king to follow, and looked at his own king. Next to the map in front of the wall, one moment sad, the next with a smile on his face, I don't know what I'm thinking?

Only Ji Kang himself knows, whether it is the vast grasslands in the north or the humid south; Whether it's the snow-capped plateau or the wooded Western Regions.

These places, taken together, are their own China, and they are all the motherland in the deepest part of their hearts!
