In October, the autumn harvest of the four counties in the northern part of the Liao region of Yanguo has not ended, and the autumn harvest of other counties has basically ended. The autumn harvest of the four counties of Shanggu, Jidu, Wuyang, and Hejian, which were just established last year, has all ended.

Among them, the three counties of Jidu, Wuyang and Hejian are also the most elite and richest places in the past.

That is, in Ji Kang's previous life, Qin Shi Huang thought about the "place of supervision" that he wanted to take again.

Because these three counties, including Zhongyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and even Liaoxi County, were all south of the Great Wall in Ji Kang's previous life. These places are in the area south of Yanshan, north of the Great River (Yellow River), and east of Taihang Mountain.

It is a flat terrain with many rivers and lakes formed by the alluvium of the Hai River and the large rivers. And east of the Bohai Sea, East China Sea, the climate is humid, the four seasons change obviously, the land nutrients are not inferior to the black soil of the Liaodi Plain.

In some places, grain can be ripened three times in two years.

Ji Kang, who is now the prince of Yan State, can be said to have invested a lot in the grain harvest of the newly established counties since the end of last year. The new agricultural tools and new fertilizers from the Liao region all began to be used on a large scale in these counties.

Just as the old dean Zou Yan wrote to Ji Kang: "If you want to completely stabilize its foundation, you must first win the hearts of the people; And whoever wants to win the hearts and minds of the people must first make the people rich; If you want to make the people rich, you need to solve the problem of food and clothing; And those who want to eat and wear, the acres of land are also produced. ”

Ji Kang deeply agreed with the words of the old dean Zou Yan.

As for the Qin Shi Huang mentioned above, in Ji Kang's current opinion, he is just a "little kid" who was abandoned by his father and is still hostage in Zhao State.

Although Ji Kang admired him very much in his previous life.

But in this world, although Ji Kang is concerned, his attitude can only be described by the word "indifference".

Because in Ji Kang's life planning in this life, he will not let King Yingzheng of Qin appear again.

Ji Kang found that in the thistle capital, which is divided by region, the so-called "poor in the south, cheap in the north, expensive in the west, rich in the east" can still be applied to the present world, and it is also a true portrayal of the thistle capital now.

In the southern part of Jidu City, most of the people living in it are poor families.

During Ji Kang's inspection of the southern city, he saw garbage all over the ground and sewage flowing sideways.

The officials who were originally in Jidu didn't feel anything yet. But the officials who came from Liaodi with Ji Kang, as soon as they saw this situation, looked at the face of the crown prince Ji Kang.

Sure enough, everyone found that although Ji Kang's face was calm, he didn't say a word. The officials from Liaodi knew that their own princes were angry and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with this situation.

Because officials who are familiar with Ji Kang know that Ji Kang can be said to have a "problem".

That is, I especially like to be clean and tidy, especially the city where I live.

This is the case in Xiangping City, where streets, alleys, bathhouses, latrines, sewers, etc., are renovated every year. Anyway, if you let the inspecting princes find that there is a dirty place, the future of you, an official, will be very "worried".

Officials in Liaodi privately believe that their princes have "cleanliness syndrome".

However, this is also one of Ji Kang's few "hobbies"! As a subordinate, you must be respectful.

Therefore, since the end of last year, Ji Kang has asked the officials to re-plan the entire Jidu City.

The focus is on the relatively poor places in Jidu City.

Subsequently, he began to build a large number of buildings in Jidu.

According to Liaodi, it means that the government took out the money and began to "bid for bidding" and "build" within a time limit.

At this time, the capital city of Ji was not the large-scale capital of Ji Kang's previous life, at best, it was only equivalent to half a district!

So the project is fast.

Since the beginning of last year, before the autumn harvest this year, the first phase of the project in Nancheng has basically been completed.

The "slums" of the southern city in the past have been basically improved.

The streets and alleys are paved with so-called "cement", which is smooth and clean; The "sewer", which the prince attaches great importance to, is also completely connected in the thistle, and the scene of the cross-flow of sewage in the past can no longer be seen.

The street lamps also stood up, and the entire Jidu City, as soon as it got dark, began to brighten up like Xiangping City in Liaodi.

A former cesspool in the southern part of the city has also been turned into a clean lake. Living water was introduced, trees and flowers were planted along the lake, and street lamps were erected. This place has become an excellent place for people in the south of the city to relax and play.

Ju Wu has now returned to Jidu and has been transferred to his side by Ji Kang, and like Han Fei, he is also serving in the Secretarial Pavilion. What Ji Kang didn't expect was that Ju Wu and Han Fei, after meeting and talking for the first time, they introduced each other as confidants and became good friends.

Today is the day of rest, and the two came to Nancheng to play together.

It is also by the way to take a look at the condition of the Nancheng project after the repair, which is also the task assigned by the prince Ji Kang.

Looking at the clear lake in front of you, and the many people who played.

Han Fei said to Ju Wu with emotion:

"Brother Ju Wu, over the past year, this place has changed like this, I really didn't expect it!"

Ju Wu was not surprised, and said to Han Fei with a smile: "Brother Han Fei, what's so strange about this?" When I waited for Xiangping College in Liaodi, I didn't go to Xiangping City in January, and when I went again, I would find that there had been a big change. ”

"Since the prince has come to Jidu, Jidu will inevitably be like this, there is nothing surprising about this! If nothing has changed, it is a strange thing. ”

Han Fei nodded and said to Ju Wu: "Brother Ju Wu, I didn't know that the prince's heart was so deep. There are so many whimsical ideas, I am so impressed! ”

"Such a project, if it is in another country in the Central Plains, will definitely cost the people and money, and waste national strength. But in my Yan country, it has become a good government. On the contrary, the people will make money and profit from it; Isn't it strange that the government and businesses have also profited! ”

Ju Wu laughed and said to Han Fei: "Brother Han Fei, you are a teacher in the academy, and you pay attention to the law, and you haven't stayed in the academy for a long time. There are also university questions in this, and you may not have deep contact with the economics major under the School of Government Affairs of the college. ”

"In their words, it's called killing multiple birds with one stone. What can promote the development of the economy and people's livelihood, what can speed up "circulation", and what "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" and so on, and so on, the result has become what it is now. ”

After listening to Ju Wu's words, Han Fei couldn't help but think of South Korea, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, two scholar-looking people came from the opposite side, and they were also talking while walking.

"Brother Liu, are you saying that the grain harvest in my Jidu, Wuyang and other counties has exceeded three stones per mu this year?"

"Brother Wang, this is natural, and it is not false at all. My family told me personally. ”

"Awesome! Terrible. It seems that the new policy implemented by the king and the crown prince is in accordance with the will of heaven! ”

"Brother Wang, it's not surprising that you're lonely. The yield per mu in Jidu, Wuyang and other counties is still small. Now the average yield per mu of all counties and counties in my Yan country has exceeded four stones, and the government is expanding the official warehouse every year! ”

"Ahh Brother Liu, is it really fake? ”

"Haha, Brother Wang, it really can't be true, it's like the gold coins in your pocket! This is what my cousin in the government told me personally. ”

"Oh. Brother Liu, it seems that this is favored by God, why should the world be prosperous in my Yan Kingdom! ”

"That's nature."

……

The two of them, known as Brother Liu and Brother Wang, talked while walking.

Walking past Han Fei and Ju Wu, I didn't know that Han Fei and Ju Wu were listening to their conversation.

In this era, in the eyes of the people, agriculture is the foundation of everything.

The increase in the yield per mu and the bumper harvest of grain are, in the eyes of the people, the best "praise" from heaven for those in power.

Han Fei shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Said to Ju Wu: "God really seems to favor my Yan Kingdom!" It's really time for me to prosper. ”

Seeing Han Fei like this, Ju Wu knew what Han Fei was thinking, and said to Han Fei:

"Brother Han Fei, according to the prince's words, this is not the case."

"Oh, Brother Ju Wu, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?"

"When the prince gave a speech at Xiangping Academy, he once said that all these achievements rely on the hands of our people and our own labor. Labor creates wealth, science creates wealth, and what other ideas create wealth. ”

Han Fei, who had been in Xiangping Academy for nearly two years, was already able to understand the nouns spoken by Ju Wu.

After pondering for a while, he said to Ju Wudao:

"Brother Ju Wu, what the prince said is really true. Han Fei agreed, and he was also taught! My Yan Kingdom now belongs to the king and the prince, and also to the court. Starting next year, I estimate that my Yan Kingdom will have a big move. ”

Ju Wu knew what Han Fei was talking about.

didn't answer Han Fei's words, just nodded and looked at the clear lake in front of him.

Han Fei said softly: "What people want, I have to do it!" ”
