Ji Kang had no idea that in the far north, a man already regarded himself as a lifelong enemy. Even if he knows, Ji Kang will not have too much emotion, because Ji Kang knows that he is now afraid that he will become the enemy of all the kings in the world.

One is an enemy, five or ten are enemies, so what do I care!

In mid-July, in a garden in the palace of Handan City, Ji Kang looked at the place planted in the garden, which was blooming with white bones, and showed a surprised expression.

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the Empress Dowager Ji Zhao and Queen Su Ya and others, he walked in.

Everyone saw Ji Kang carefully picking a piece of "flower" from the "flowers", pinched and pinched it very carefully, and began to smile on his face, laughing.

Then, Ji Kang walked out of the garden and asked the Queen Mother Ji Zhao, "Queen Mother, when was this flower planted, does the Queen Mother have an impression?" ”

Ji Zhao thought that Ji Kang liked this flower, so he smiled and said: "I have the impression that this Jibei flower was planted in the palace a long time ago, and your grandmother likes this Jibei flower more, and she asked her to plant this place." ”

After saying the above words, the Queen Mother Ji Zhao found that Ji Kang's face showed a look of excitement that had not been seen for a long time.

When he was a child, Ji Kang had a lot of excited expressions, but as he grew older, especially after ascending the throne as King Yan, this expression on Ji Kang's face was rarely seen.

Jibei flower, it seems to be a foreign transliteration, that's right, this is cotton.

"Someone, send someone to take care of this garden for me, and when the flowers are fully blooming, I will order someone to pick them, especially the seeds inside, so that people can take care of them? Don't slack off. And send someone to send these seeds to the college's agricultural college? Let them be good at cultivating and promoting. Ji Kang said to the attendant who followed him, Ling Wang Congyan.

The discovery of cotton at this time is a very celebratory event.

The woolen cloth of Yanguo has begun to be popularized now? And if there is this cotton again? Not only for civilians, but also in military, medicine, etc.? There is also a great promotion effect.

Needless to say, in terms of what people wear and even the quality of life? It will inevitably improve.

Not to mention the military and medicine? The bandaging and hemostasis of the wounded in the army can be replaced by cotton products; In terms of medicine, with the development of anatomy in various medical schools in Yanguo, the mysteries of the human body have also been revealed to people? And the surgery brought about by anatomy? The result is a better material.

Ji Kang found that Cotton's good mood did not last long, and then it was completely ruined by Zhou Zi who came.

In a palace, Ji Kang looked at Zhou Zi, who was admonishing him, and his heart was devastated.

“…… Wang Shangyi is concerned about the safety of the country, and Zhao Di has just been incorporated into our country? The safety aspect is still very worrying. But the king took the queen and others out of the palace to play without permission? It is impossible to put the safety of the country behind ......"

Yesterday? Ji Kang and Queen Su Ya, as well as the two ladies Qingzhu and Qingmei left the palace? Went around the streets of Handan City? Got a meal? It wasn't too long.

But I didn't expect that Zhou Zi would enter the palace again today.

Looking at Zhou Zi, who was still chattering at him, Ji Kang was very helpless.

The attendant Ling Wang Cong, who accompanied Ji Kang, as well as the eldest husband Han Fei and Ju Wu, including Tian Guang, the commander of the palace guards, and others were obviously "not surprised" by such a scene, and they all lowered their heads and laughed secretly.

After occupying Handan, Ji Kang issued an edict to transfer Zhou Zi in Linzi and asked him to assist in the governance of Zhao Di.

Don't say it, the old man Zhou Zi is very capable, and the policies and even measures of Yan Guo are carried out in an orderly manner in Zhao Di, which makes Ji Kang very satisfied.

The only thing that makes Ji Kang dissatisfied is that the old man Zhou Zi is too good at "chattering" and constantly picking on Ji Kang's faults, and people are not afraid of Ji Kang, whether Ji Kang wants it or not, accept it or not.

It's embarrassing!

After seeing that the old man Zhou Zi finally stopped talking, Ji Kang coughed and said to Zhou Zi with a smile: "Sir, the widow knows that he is wrong, please rest assured, Mr. will not be like this in the future." ”

"The king can realize that something is wrong, and the minister is very relieved, please ask the king to put Yan Kingdom first in the future, and never ......" Zhou Zi looked at Ji Kang, and admonished him again as usual before he confessed and left.

After sending the old man out of the palace, looking at the old man's distant back, Ji Kang couldn't help but take a breath.

……

After the matter of Handan was put to a conclusion, under the urging of the cabinet drama Xin, Su belly and others, Ji Kang discussed with Handan Zhouzi and other ministers, and decided to return to Jidu from Handan in early August.

In the newly established Handan County, Ji Kang has appointed Zhou Zi as the county guard, transferred the First Army Chang Rongyan as the commander of the Handan County Army, and concurrently served as the commander of the newly formed 15th Army Corps, stationed in Handan County.

Needless to say, Rong Yan has been the commander of the First Army for many years, and he has extremely rich experience in training troops and even combat. In Ji Kang's mind, it is also very appropriate to let Zhou Zi, an old man, serve as a local administrative official and govern one side.

Zhou Zi's character has nothing to say, and he has a strong sense of responsibility, so letting him come to Zhao Di will also facilitate the people of Zhao Di to identify with Yan Guo more.

On the way back to Jidu from Handan, Ji Kang saw along the way that the people began to build ditches, roads, and various factories under the leadership of the government. For such a scene, Ji Kang stopped from time to time to inquire about it, and the result was very satisfied.

You must know that Zhao Di at this time is in need of recuperation, and it is also necessary.

Since the founding of the Zhao State, it can be said that there have been constant wars, especially in the twenty years since Ji Kang came to this world, not to mention small battles, but large battles, Zhao has experienced Changping, Handan, Anyang, Weidi, and even the Battle of Yan and Zhao.

Every family and household in Zhao has adult men who died on the battlefield, and it can be said that most of the young and strong men in Zhao are killed in battle.

That's it, Ji Kang also knows one thing, in the Zhao State in the previous life, the Zhao State has been facing a two-way battle in the east and west, and still resisted the Qin State for more than 20 years, so that the powerful Qin State Ruishi Legion has repeatedly "eaten up" on the Zhao State, and it took a lot of effort to "flood the power" before finally destroying the Zhao State.

Especially when the Qin general Wang Jian finally attacked Handan, when the people of Zhao State lost Handan, they actually let all the young children in their families jump to death in the city, and they did not want to be the "obedient people" of Qin.

What a tragedy, and what a sorrow!

After learning about the current situation of Zhao Di, in order to restore the vitality of Zhao Di, Ji Kang ordered Zhao Di to change from tax exemption for two years to three years, and after three years, the tax was halved again, and after five years, it would be the same as the rest of Yan Kingdom.

Regarding the newly occupied place of Yan Guo, Ji Kang did not have any idea of dividing the feud or even establishing a special area. In Ji Kang's view, Huaxia is one, and it is best to integrate these places into Yan State, which is one country and one system.

Don't think about not paying taxes to the state treasury, and don't think about any thoughts about not doing military service.

Ji Kang did not have much impact on Yan Guo's financial revenue.

It is impossible for any dynasty or country with any system to truly eliminate the problem of inequality between the rich and the poor.

As far as Yan Guo is concerned, many of the old gate lords have disappeared, but then a new group of vested interests has emerged, and these new vested interests are inextricably linked to Ji Kang.

The original gate lord nobles, if they did not cooperate with the decree of the Yan State, Ji Kang had a way to solve it, including a complete physical solution, which was also in line with the interests of the emerging vested interests of the Yan Kingdom, and they were also willing and supported Ji Kang to do so.

But for the emerging vested interests, this is certainly not the case, this is a very simple truth.

The only difference is that the previous gate lord Guixun and Ji Kang were naturally hostile, and this new group of vested interests can be guided by Ji Kang.

In terms of land, Yan has promulgated laws prohibiting private land sales and limiting the amount of land owned by the newly rising aristocracy, in an effort to eliminate the problem of "the rich want to be rich and the poor want to be poor".

But it is undeniable to say that people's horizons and even connections are different, that is, under the condition of equal land, the rich people are still rich very quickly.

For example, there are several ministers such as drama Xin and Su belly, but few of them are poor. When the wealth gained from the land was small, they turned to business, established industries, etc., and obtained more wealth than they did from the land.

Ji Kang's only approach is to increase commercial taxes incrementally and limit the rate of wealth accumulation of emerging vested interests.

Even in Ji Kang's mind, he has been wondering whether to get an "Inheritance Law" in the future.

However, Ji Kang also knows that many of his ideas must be brought out at the right time in the future.

The biggest and most pressing problem in Yan now is not in these aspects.

In the current Yan country, the amount of commercial tax collected has far exceeded the agricultural tax, and it is increasing year by year. Many people didn't think about it so much, but Ji Kang knew that the fact that Yan Guo could get to where it is today has a lot to do with the development of industrialization.

Starting from Liaodi, it has been almost fifteen years now, under the vigorous advocacy of Ji Kang, the pace of industrialization of Yan is very stable, with the construction of coal and steel, cement, and even water conservancy, Yan can be said to have preliminarily completed the initial stage of industrialization.

This sign is that Yanguo has produced lathes and other mechanical tools powered by water conservancy.

Before coming to Handan, Ji Kang got Qin Wuyang's report that the steam engine powered by coal had come up with a preliminary model in the Jidu Industrial Research Institute.

Because of the Handan war, Ji Kang didn't have time to watch, so he had to wait for this time to return to Jidu and go again.

If it is really as Qin Wuyang said, the model made of this small steam engine can run on the rails, then it is certain that Yan Guo has entered the gate of industrialization.

In Ji Kang's previous life, the development of industrialization came about in this way, and its symbol was the appearance of the steam engine.

A European island country of "Puer", with the emergence of the steam engine, led to the development of the industrialization of the entire country, and finally became the "empire on which the sun never sets" in one fell swoop.

It was this empire that the sun never set, with only more than 10,000 troops, to send troops to open the gate of China, and opened the prelude to the reparations that China was ceded by the Eastern and Western powers. It was when Ji Kang came to this world that his remnants were "poisonous" on the land of China, and they had not yet been completely eliminated.

When Ji Kang came to this era, he found that in this era of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending", people were not bound by thousands of years of Confucianism, and it was easy to accept all kinds of advanced ideas, even higher than Ji Kang's previous life.

This is true of philosophy, it is true of medicine, and it is true of everything else.

At present, in the textbooks of Yanguo College, the philosophical idea of productivity and production relations has appeared, and the description that the symbol of productivity is a tool of production and science is the primary productive force has also been widely accepted by the students of various colleges in Yanguo.

Productive forces determine the relations of production, but Ji Kang firmly remembers that the reaction of the relations of production to the productive forces is also huge. When the productive forces and the relations of production are not in harmony, the society will inevitably produce great turmoil, and even experience blood and fire.

Ji Kang only hopes that Huaxia will walk smoothly in this era, because of his arrival, through his own efforts and actions, and avoid the history of continuous anti-revival and decline of the feudal dynasty in the previous life.

Obviously, his position in this era can change this era, and it can even be said that he can influence this era, but the premise is that China must be unified.

In Ji Kang's heart, there are many ideas, but none of them are suitable for now. On the contrary, at this time, he demanded that he must concentrate all the rights of Yan State, and could not carry out any decentralization.

At this time, the "separation of powers" or "five powers" in Yan is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.
