After Cai Ze went down to the palace, the ministers in the entire court had a lot of discussions about the matter of the Qin State sacrificing to the heavens.

Each expressed their own opinions on Ji Kang.

After summarizing everyone's speeches, Ji Kang had a clear understanding of the actions of King Qin Yingji Liding.

Ji Kang was on the throne, waved his hand, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"Zhongqing, Qin Wang Yingji's move has three purposes. The first is to take this opportunity to shape the Qin State as the world's Zhengshuo, so as to command the world; The second is to test the attitude of all countries in the world towards the Qin State and use it. ”

"Last point, the widow thinks it has something to do with my Yan Kingdom. Today, everyone in the world says that my Yan State is the Zhengshuo of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the only country that can compete with the Qin State at present. ”

"From the various behaviors of the Qin State before, it can be seen that the Qin King Yingji will definitely take advantage of this occasion to sacrifice to the heavens and establish the Ding, and connect the countries of the Central Plains, and try to make my Yan country, and my Yan country cannot be careless."

When the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom heard their own king say this, their hearts were all tight.

Ji Kang stood up from the throne, walked down from the throne with a step, and walked slowly through the main hall.

"I have to say that in the 53 years since King Yingji of Qin ascended the throne, he has far-reaching strategies and old methods. The reason why the Qin State can get to this day and rise in the Central Plains as a great power is due to the contribution of King Yingji of Qin. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, the small countries between the big countries in the Central Plains, after hundreds of years, can be said to have been annexed by the surrounding powers this year. Even the vassal state of my Yan country, the defense of the country, will not be spared. ”

"And the grasslands in the north, starting this year, have also entered the process of mutual annexation. What does this mean? This shows that the world has entered the final stage of unification. ”

"Now the situation in the Central Plains and even the northern grasslands is becoming more and more chaotic. At this time, I must not be satisfied with the status quo, but must do something and be more proactive. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kang turned around, looked at Gao Yang Jun Rong and Chang Guo Jun Lejian standing on the right side of the main hall and asked:

"General Rong and General Lejian, how are the preparations for the military parade of my Yan Kingdom this time?"

According to Ji Kang's arrangement, Rong Yi was the commander-in-chief of the parade, and Lejian was the deputy commander-in-chief.

Rong Yi and Le Jian looked at each other, Rong Yan stood up, bowed down and replied to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, the military parade has been prepared, the twelve armies of the army and the three armies of the navy, including the palace guards, have selected 500 troops, and carried out strict drills in various places, waiting for the edict of our king at any time."

Changguo Junlejian also stood up, clenched his fists and bowed to Ji Kangyan:

"Qi to my king, the Army Command College of Xiangping Academy, the Navy Command College and many other academies, and even the reserve army of the twenty counties of my Yan Kingdom, have selected 500 troops, and have also carried out strict training, waiting for my king's edict."

Ji Kang made a little calculation in his heart, knowing that the scale of this military parade had exceeded his expectations.

He nodded at Rong Yan and Lejian.

"Now that you're ready for the show, don't wait. Let the armies of all armies and counties participate in the parade together! The widow decided that the military parade was scheduled for the first day of September and was officially held. ”

Rong Yan and Le Jian bowed down together and replied: "The ministers obey the edict." ”

Ji Kang turned around again and said to the two pavilions on the left side of the hall:

"This military parade in our Yan country is to boost the hearts of the people and the army of our Yan country and deter all countries. From now on, in this military parade, we must do a good job in all kinds of propaganda work, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Several ministers such as Ju Xin and Su Belly, as well as many courtiers, bowed down to Ji Kang and said:

"Obey my king's edict."

Cai Ze and the others did not go back to Xianyang immediately, but stayed in the thistle capital of Yan Kingdom.

After Ji Kang received the report from the Supervision Yuan and the Intelligence Bureau, he didn't care too much about Cai Ze's whereabouts.

On the ninth day of August, the two river basins of the Great River and the Ji River.

At the confluence of the Great River and the Ji River, a dam made of cement, masonry and steel stands between the two rivers, and the last neatly cut stone is piled up on top of the dam.

The old man Zhou Zi and Zheng Guo, the chief commander of the water conservancy project in the Lianghe River Basin, cheered together with the more than 100,000 people who built the embankment, and many people even burst into tears of excitement.

This reservoir was named "Lianghe Reservoir" by Yan Wangkang himself, and is the most important water conservancy hub of Lianghe.

The "Two Rivers Reservoir" has begun to be built when the Qi State is in charge of the prime minister, and it has gone through hundreds of years, but the scale is not large.

However, since May last year, after Yan Guo occupied Qidi, according to the suggestion of Zheng Guo of the Ministry of Industry, the reservoir has begun large-scale construction on the original basis, and a variety of new materials, new processes and new processes have been adopted for water conservancy projects.

The completion of the "Two Rivers Reservoir," which took more than a year, is of great significance to the current floods, droughts, and irrigation in the two river basins. Hundreds of thousands of acres of flooded and drought-stricken land can be irrigated immediately.

In this era, the climate in northern China was warm, and the rainfall was very high.

The food crops such as wheat, millet and millet are low water consumption and drought tolerant.

With the gradual implementation of the water conservancy project in the two river basins in the future, the flood discharge place between the two rivers will surely become hundreds of thousands of fertile and fertile fields, which is of great significance to Yanguo.

Within a few days, a "Chi Road" connecting Jidu in the west of Yan and Xiangyang in Liaodi was also completed.

Ji Kang personally presided over the completion ceremony of this gallop road in Jidu.

This "railway" built by the Yan Kingdom with wood began to be built year by year after Ji Kang arrived in Liaodi.

After several years, the construction was finally completed this year, and the gallop between the "three capitals" in the western part of the Yan Kingdom was docked.

At this point, the "traffic artery" from the Central Plains to the Northeast has finally been preliminarily constructed. Between the Northeast and the Central Plains, they are tightly tied together by official roads, galloping roads, and even shipping and water transportation.

After a few more days, good news came from Qidi.

After two years of construction, from Jidu to Qidi Linzi, the official road paved with cement was also successfully completed according to the standards of Yanguo. The official road between the county governments of the four counties of Qidi was also successfully completed as early as July.

The law of Yan now stipulates that there is only "military service", but not "hard service".

When the people go to work, according to the laws of the Yan Kingdom, they must be paid.

Whether it is the water conservancy project in the two river basins, or the road construction in various counties.

The method adopted by Yan Guo is the same as that of Ji Kang in Liaodi, which is the principle of "who invests, who benefits".

The implementation of various methods such as financial allocation, private fund-raising, and issuance of bonds has helped to ensure the progress of various constructions in Yanguo, and has also greatly promoted the economic development of Yanguo and the improvement of people's living standards.

Of course, Yan Guo's debts in the past two years are also very serious, which also makes the cabinet minister in charge of the household department have a headache.

But Ji Kang preached to several ministers:

"We in Yanguo should not only look at the present, but focus on the long-term. All kinds of construction are necessary and should be. The debt of our Yan country is very high, but we are not short of food and materials, what are we afraid of? ”

"What's more, the bonds we issue are not just out and in. It comes from the people, and finally returns to the people. As long as we persist in forming a good cycle, the national strength of our Yan Kingdom will leap greatly. ”

At the same time, the armies and counties of the various armies and counties participating in the parade on 1 September also set out from various places and began to converge on Jidu.
