Ji Kang saw that the civil and military officials of the court were like this, and he was relieved.

Slowly rise from the throne.

The Jiu Yan on his head collided slightly, making a "clanging" sound.

"Zhongqing is flat."

"Thank you, the king."

The young king, above the king, walked slowly, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, my Yan Kingdom signed a strong alliance with Zhao, Wei, and Chu. If you don't need to be tempted by small favors, how can you get the great benefits of my Yan country? ”

"My Yan country occupies the Qi land, and for the countries of the Central Plains, they are all terrified. If we don't give it to all countries, all countries will cause trouble and destroy our country. In this way, my Yan country will be in war for many years, and the people will not be able to make a living. ”

"If that's the case, the gains of my Yan Kingdom outweigh the losses. Now, my Yan country is not greedy, and gives a little Qi land to all countries free of charge to resolve the fear in the hearts of all countries. So as to appease the countries of the Central Plains and not be hostile to our Yan country, this is what my Yan country must do. ”

"My Yan State gave the land west of the river to the Zhao State, the land of Taoyi to the Wei State, and the Ganyu and other places south of the Great Wall to the Chu State, which is a small favor; And my Yan country occupies the land of Qi land, which is a great benefit. ”

"As long as my Yan State has signed an alliance with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu, this can be justified. As long as the covenant is signed, the countries of the Central Plains will be worried about the land again, and they will be nameless. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused, slowly walked down from the throne, and walked down again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a saying in hand talk: if you miss a move, you will lose the whole game. The ancestors of my Yan country have a blue wisp of the road, and there is a corner of my Yan country; Now that my Yan Kingdom has occupied Qi again, it can be said that it has officially entered the Central Plains. ”

"In such a situation, my Yan Kingdom must walk steadily at every step. Only by being stable can we go far! After a few more years, my Yan Kingdom has completely gained a firm foothold. These...... These lands that have been given up are my Yan country...... It is not difficult for my Yan country to take it. ”

"Occupying the land north of the Great Wall of Qi is the first step for my Yan Kingdom to seek the Central Plains; The alliance with Zhao, Wei, and Chu is the second step for my Yan country to gain a foothold in the Central Plains; Step 3? ……”

When Ji Kang said this, he shook his head lightly and did not say anything more.

The arrival of a group of Yan officials such as Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian made Ji Kang much easier.

At present, it is the summer harvest season for the occupied land.

In the land of Qilu, the grain harvest is not like the swallow land, which is ripe once a year.

It is two crops a year, and the next place is also three crops in two years.

Ji Kang issued an edict that the captured prisoners of war of the Qi army under the age of 18 and over the age of 30 would be given travel expenses and living expenses, and they would be sent home to work in agriculture without the need for labor reform. Those who are disabled are given medical treatment and money and food are distributed.

All naturalized people in Qi country, starting from June, in addition to enjoying the same salt, cloth and other preferential treatment as the people of Yan country.

Ji Kang then issued an edict that all taxes in Qidi this year will be exempted, and only one percent will be collected next year. In the following year, the tax of the entire Qi land will be officially implemented according to the Yan system. The local government must strictly enforce the tax exemption regulations, otherwise it will be a felony.

In order to ensure the summer harvest of Qidi and even the autumn harvest in the future, Ji Kang issued an edict that the new agricultural tools and new fertilizers in the industrial zones of various counties and counties of Yanguo will be given to the people of Qidi for free use this year. After next year, it will be implemented according to the regulations of Yanguo.

In order to appease the hearts of the people, when Ji Kang entered the city, he paid tribute to the graves of his maternal grandmother Zhao Weihou's brother and sister-in-law, Qixiang Wang Tian Fazhang and the queen as a descendant.

Then, as a descendant of the ancestor King Wu of Zhou, he paid tribute to the cemetery of Jiang Taigong, the founding monarch of Qi State.

In late May, Yan and envoys sent by Zhao, Wei, and Chu formally signed an alliance.

Prime Minister Su Dai and Jiang Qu and other people also returned to Linzi with the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms, Su Dai and Jiang Qu and other people, saw that Linzi City was now also returned to Yan State.

Everyone has mixed feelings.

Especially Mr. Su Dai, he knelt on the ground and cried:

"Brother Su Qin, you are in the spirit of the sky, you can look at it! After more than 20 years of planning to seize Qi in my Yan Kingdom, after you left, it was finally realized by my king today! ”

Seeing this, Ji Kang was also sad.

Su Qin, the eldest brother of the prime minister Su Dai, is a world-famous vertical and horizontal family. In order to help Yan State seize Qi State, he entered Qi alone. In the end, his identity was exposed, and he was killed by King Qi's chariot.

When Su Qin died, he was not afraid, laughed at the sky, and only said: "The world is impermanent, and people are warm and cold; Busy all his life, doing nothing. However, if you can meet the beauty of a moment of fighting sand, it is enough! ”

In other words, generosity died for the country.

After his death, he was posthumously named "Wu Anjun" by Ji Kangtai's grandfather, King Yan Zhao.

The summer harvest of the entire Qi land, with the assistance of the officials and soldiers sent by the Yan State, was also successfully harvested.

Due to this year's grain in Qidi, the government did not collect half of the tax.

On the contrary, the grain storage of people in various parts of Qi country far exceeded that of previous years. With this, many people of Qi did not say anything about the rule of Yan State, but they recognized it in their hearts.

Coupled with hundreds of thousands of Yan army soldiers, not only did no one dare to invade the people. On the contrary, in Qidi, they have assisted the people in harvesting grain, rebuilding old houses, carrying grain and water, etc.

With the actions of these Yan army soldiers, the people of Qidi "opened their eyes".

The people of Qi couldn't believe that there was such an army in the world. After the summer harvest, the name of Yan Jun, the "child soldier", was also called by people in Qidi.

When everything was on the right track, the counties were set up in Qidi, and they were included in the process of the Yan Kingdom's court.

At the beginning of June, Linzi Palace.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day in June.

This is unimaginable for Ji Kang and even the officials and soldiers of Yan Kingdom who came from Jidu.

Faced with this scene, Ji Kang issued an edict that for the government and military officers in Qidi, according to their positions and titles, different subsidies will be issued, and they will be named "cooling fee".

It is stipulated that from June to August of each year, all the local government and the army, and even those who enjoy the benefits will be subsidized. In addition, during these three months, each person can also receive two catties of sugar and half a catty of tea per month.

Although it was extremely hot outside, it was unusually cool in one of the palaces of Linzi Palace.

If you look closely, inside the palace here, in every corner, there are beautifully crafted porcelain urns, and the urns are piled with ice. These ice cubes are not ice stored from the ice caves, but are made of saltpeter.

The use of saltpeter to make ice has long been made by Xiangping Academy. Therefore all the people who were in the temple were not astonished.

Ji Kangzheng and the cabinet ministers Lu Zhonglian, Su Dai, Jiangqu, the old manager Ji Mao, Changguo Junlejian, the generals Wang Shi and Bo Wang are in this palace, and they are discussing the establishment of counties in Qidi.

Han Fei and Ju Wu, as in the past, are making records.

Minister Lu Zhonglian said to Ji Kangzheng: "Your Majesty, according to the regional division, population, and geographical direction of mountains and rivers in my Qi land, after the discussion of the court ministers, it was decided to divide Qi into four counties and incorporate them into the territory of my Yan country. ”

"With Linzi as the center, including more than ten surrounding counties, it is Linzi County; In the Jimo area east of Linzi, including more than ten surrounding counties, it is Jimo County; To the south of Linzi, including more than ten surrounding counties, it is Langya County; In the more than ten counties bordering Hejian County north of Linzi, it is called Jibei County. ”

"Your Majesty, at the suggestion of my king, several place names have been changed. This is the detailed situation of the four counties, please review it with my king. ”

Lu Zhonglian stood up respectfully, and with both hands, he handed the chapter document with the status of the four counties of Qidi to the attendant Ling Wangcong.

Ji Kang read it very carefully twice before putting down the chapter document and asking the other important ministers:

Do you all agree to divide it accordingly? Let's talk about each of them! ”

Prime Minister Su Dai stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said: "Your Majesty, the minister participated in the discussion of the division of the four counties of Qidi throughout the whole process, and the minister has no objection to the division of Qidi into four counties. ”

Jiang Qu, Ji Mao, Le Jian, Wang Shi, and Bo Wang also stood up together and said to Ji Kang in unison:

"There is no objection from the ministers."

Ji Kang nodded, and said to the attendant Ling Wang Cong:

"Now that the court has no objections, it has passed the division of the four counties of Qidi. Cover the national seal and proclaim the world! ”

"No." The attendant ordered the king to bow down and answer.
