After Ji Kang sacrificed to the sky in Mount Tai, he did not want to alarm the officials and people everywhere in Qidi.

did not return to Linzi, and prepared to embark directly on the journey back to Jidu.

Pavilion Minister Lu Zhonglian, generals Wang Shi and Bo Wang, on the orders of Ji Kang, stayed in Qidi.

Before leaving, Ji Kang explained to the cabinet minister Lu Zhonglian, the general Wang Shi, and Bo Wang:

"The widow wanted to stay in Qidi for a long time, but there were many things in the court. The widow can only follow the will of the court and return to the thistle. During the inspection, the widow saw that the people of Qidi had begun to settle down, and they felt a little relieved. ”

"However, it will take some time to completely let the people of Qidi have a sense of belonging to our Yan country and become one with our Yan country. We and other courtiers, officials, and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom still need to continue to work hard, and we must not relax. ”

"When the widow was inspecting, he had ordered the Qi local government to let the powerful people from all over the country start to forcibly migrate to Liaodi. In this way, you can reduce many constraints in Qidi, and you can also smoothly implement the law system of our Yan country in Qidi. ”

"Lu Xiang, General Wang, General Bo, the widow will hand over this Qi land to the three of you, Qi land is the place that my Yan Kingdom has just occupied, and there are many things. Major matters are reported to the court for processing, and generally the three of you discuss and decide on everything. ”

Lu Zhonglian, Wang Shi, and Bo Wang looked at Ji Kang's expectant eyes, and they were all very moved in their hearts.

They all bowed down and said, "The ministers will do their best to live up to the trust of my king." ”

Looking at the towering Mount Tai in front of him, Ji Kang pondered for a moment and said to the three people:

"Spread the edict of the widow, the saltless town here will be renamed Tai'an!"

When Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian, General Wang Shi, and Bo Wang heard Ji Kang say this, they were all thinking about what Ji Kang meant.

The cabinet minister next to Ji Kang didn't wait for everyone to react, so he bowed down and said to Ji Kang:

"I'm Wang Shengming, this name is good! Tai'an, Tai'an! The name of this city has the meaning of "Mount Tai is safe, then the four seas are safe", and it can also imply my Yan country, the meaning of Guotai and the people's peace. ”

"This name is excellent, in the future, the name of Tai'an, will be the same as the poem "Mount Tai" sung by my king on the top of Mount Tai, and will be passed on for eternity. My king is talented, and the ministers can't wait. ”

Hearing what the prime minister said, the young king's face was full of smiles.

Su Dai, Lu Zhonglian and other ministers all scolded Jiang Qu Lao'er for being "shameless" in their hearts.

You have said all these nice words, and I will have no words to praise the king!"

Everyone bowed down together and said, "The ministers obey the edict." ”

Ji Kang finally looked at Mount Tai, turned around and boarded the car, and led the cabinet minister Su Dai, Jiang Qu, Changguo Junlejian and other people, accompanied by the palace guards, and began to return to Jidu.

When Ji Kang and his entourage crossed the Ji River and came to the Lianghe area, it was already the beginning of August.

At this time, on both sides of the river and the Ji River, it has become a busy construction site.

After arriving at the river, Ji Kang stopped and prepared to stay for a few days to inspect the construction of the embankment of the lower river.

Ji Kang left the courtiers such as the cabinet minister Su Dai and Jiang Qu in the camp.

Dressed in civilian clothes, he took Tian Guang, Han Fei, Ju Wu and others to a construction site in Dahe on horseback.

The waters of the great river have come to Qidi, and they have been downstream.

In this era, the vast land of China was densely vegetated, full of forests, and soil erosion was not very serious.

The water of the great river is clear and there is very little sediment.

At this time, the river is in the summer flood season. The surging river flows eastward to the sea.

Many soldiers of the Yan army, as well as the people near both sides of the river and the prisoners of the Qi army, were busy filling sacks and strengthening and building the river embankment.

A young official was brought to Ji Kang by Han Fei.

"Your Majesty, this is the Zheng Guo recommended by Weichen to my king."

Han Fei bowed down and introduced Ji Kang.

"Worship my king." Zheng Guo knelt down and bowed to Ji Kang.

"Zheng Qing, don't be polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."

Ji Kang was very happy when he saw Zheng Guo's arrival.

took a few steps forward and helped Zheng Guo up personally.

looked at Zheng Guo carefully, and saw that Zheng Guo was dressed in a blue robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin was bronze because he had been away for many years. But the eyes are clear, and there is no pretense. Because I saw Ji Kang for the first time, he looked very restrained.

"Zheng Qing, who did this big river embankment turn out to be?"

"Your Majesty, this great river dam is the work of Guan Zhong. When the Qi State was in charge of Zhong, it took several years to build this embankment on both sides of the Great River and the Ji River, ensuring that the people of Qi did not encounter floods in the past two hundred years. ”

Based on this, Guan Zhong wrote "Guanzi Dudi Chapter", which has a detailed explanation of the management of cities, rivers and mountains. The minister deeply admired this and benefited a lot from it. ”

"Oh, it is an act of favor to the people, and the widow is as obedient as you."

Ji Kang said, pointed to the surging river in front of him, and asked Zheng Guo again:

"Zheng Qing, is this big river easy to manage?"

Zheng Guo bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Qi my king, if you want to govern this river, the minister thinks that it can be divided into two situations: short rule and long rule."

"Oh, Zheng Qing. What is a short treatment? And what is long-term governance? Ji Kang continued to ask.

As soon as he heard Ji Kang ask about his professional strength, Zheng Guo was no longer restrained, and the words in his mouth were endless.

"Your Majesty, Duke Huan once asked Guan Zhong: "I want to smell the water damage." Guan Zhong said: "Water has size, and there is distance. The water that comes out of the mountains and flows into the sea is said to pass through the water; The water is different from other waters, and those who enter the great water and the sea are called branch water; The ravine of the mountain, one with water and one without water, is called valley water; The water comes out of his ditch, and flows in the great water and the sea, and is called the river water; Those who come out of the ground and do not flow are destined to be called the abyssal water. These five waters, because of their profits, can be choked, and soon there is often danger. ”

Huan Gong asked again: "Can the water be choked and make the east, west, north, south and high?" Guan Zhong said, "Yes." The nature of the husband and the water, if you go down with a high one, you will be sick; And the lower is high, that is, it stays but does not work, so it is high. The ruler is three-tenths of the ruler, and if the inside is forty-nine, the water can be walked. It is to go far away and act with momentum. The nature of water, the line to the song must stay and retreat, full of the push back forward, the underground is parallel, the height of the ground is controlled, Du Qu is destroyed. Du Qu is excited, jumping, leaning, leaning, ringing, ringing, meaning, culverting, stopping, moving, moving, controlling, and controlling; If you act in vain, you will hurt people, if you hurt people, if you are sleepy, if you are sleepy, if you are sleepy, if you are light, if you are difficult to treat, if you are not filial, you will not be subservient. ”

"Your Majesty, the short-term ruler, just like my Yan Kingdom is now, when the flood season comes, strengthen the embankment to prevent the flood from flooding, so as to ensure the villages and fields of the people on both sides of the river."

As the name suggests, the long-term ruler needs to survey the topography and topography of the large river basin, build reservoirs and dams, and divert the water of the large river to form a systematic cycle. For example, my Yan country is in the Yan land, or irrigating the acres of fields, or hydraulic processing equipment. ”

"The short-term rule is the law of emergency response, and it is the standard; And for those who rule for a long time, it is not a short-term thing. If you want to succeed, it will take several years of work and countless manpower, material and financial resources to achieve it, but this is the way to cure the root cause. ”

"Your Majesty, besides, the Jihe River is now in my territory and can be fully governed. However, if we want to thoroughly control this great river, we must also take into account the upstream and middle reaches of this river, and rely only on our downstream management, which is still to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

After Ji Kang listened to Zheng Guo's words, he was speechless.

Looking at this mother river of the Chinese nation, I was full of emotion in my heart.

At this time, soil erosion in the upper and middle reaches of this large river was not serious. There is no such thing as in the previous life, where one billion tons of yellow sand flow into this great river every year, and it is extremely difficult to control.

Therefore, at this time, a high embankment had not yet formed on both sides of the river, hanging in the "sky".

If this era had consciously managed the great rivers, and maintained the dense vegetation on the land of China now, so as not to cause serious soil erosion, and further control it.

So what is certain is that this great river will truly become a river on the land of China, a river that will benefit the people for all generations.

However, if you want to do this, there must be a premise, that is, the unification of China.

Not only the current Central Plains countries, but also the Yueshi in the Hetao region, and even Tibet on the snow-capped mountains, as well as Loulan and other countries in the Western Regions that have not yet formed a desert area.

To complete the above ideas, Ji Kang felt that the time was very tight and a little frustrated.

I really don't know if I can accomplish these things in my mind in this life?

Ju Wu was beside him and said what Ji Kang thought in his heart:

"Your Majesty, it seems that if you want to completely govern this great river, you must unify the whole world!"

Tian Guang, Han Fei, Zheng Guo and others all nodded.

Hearing this, Ji Kang shook his head and got rid of the depressed thoughts in his heart.

In this life, as long as you work hard. It's just that you can't do it in this life, as long as you establish a good system, you can also hand over these problems to future generations to continue to do, why should you be depressed?

Thinking of this, Ji Kang said to Zheng Guodao:

"Zheng Qing, Jihe, you can comprehensively govern it according to your ideas. This great river will be ...... in the future In the future, we will unify China and then govern it. Now tell the widow what the widow needs to do to manage the Jihe River well? ”

Zheng Guo thought for a while and said to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, if you want to comprehensively control the Ji River and the Great River, you must not rely on this method of ramming earth. This rammed earth embankment needs to be strengthened year after year, and the total cost of manpower, material resources, and financial resources outweighs the losses. ”

"Your Majesty, the status quo of the Great River will be maintained for the time being, but if you want to fully control the Jihe River. It is necessary to give Zheng Guo 50,000 people, and it is necessary to use as much cement, steel, and financial resources as my Liaodi, and it will take two years of work today and next year to see results. ”

Ji Kang said without hesitation: "Zheng Qing, your request is not approved. ”

Then, looking at Zheng Guodao with blazing eyes:

"Zheng Qing, the widow will issue an edict to establish a cement factory and a steel factory between the river and the Jihe River according to your requirements. The manpower you need, the more than 70,000 prisoners of war transformed by the Qi country, will be fully deployed by Zheng Qing in the past two years. ”

"As for money, you don't have to worry about it. You can write a document and give it to the Ministry of Works, and give it to you to execute it personally. Zheng Qing, as long as you can manage the rivers and lakes for the widow, as long as you do this well, the prince of the duke, the widow will not hesitate to reward. ”

Tian Guang, Han Fei, Ju Wu and others beside Ji Kang, hearing Ji Kang say this, their faces changed a little.

I don't know Ji Kang, why does he trust Zheng Guo so much?

The king, Chrysostom.

Ji Kang's commitment to Zheng Guo is very powerful.

Zheng Guo saw Ji Kang doing this to him, and the feeling in his heart can be imagined!

Get down on your knees and prostrate yourself:

"Zheng Guo thanks my king for his respect, please rest assured that my king will fulfill my king's entrustment. The minister here assures my king that in the year after tomorrow, my king will come to the bank of the Ji River again, and the Ji River will become a river that benefits the people on both sides of the river, and irrigates 10,000 acres of 10,000 acres, and will be blessed for a hundred years. ”
