After Qin Wang Yingji smiled, he turned his head to Fan Sui of Xiangguo on the left and said, "Xiangguo, your plan is good!" Since the rumors of peace with Zhao came out, now Wei and Chu have withdrawn their armies that are ready to reinforce Zhao. Now that I, the State of Qin and the State of Zhao, have a decisive battle, I have no worries. ”

    Qin Xiang Fan Sui hurriedly stood up and said modestly to King Qin: "King, this is the strategy of the king and the ministers, not the work of Fan Sui alone, the king has won the award." ”

    Qin Wang Yingji shook his head, then stood up, his eyes showed a stunning light, and said to everyone: "Now the internal and external conditions for the decisive battle between my Qin State and Zhao State are ripe. The wish of my Qin State to realize the aspirations of the previous kings is right in front of us. ”

    Then in the hall, he walked slowly and continued: "Defeating the Zhao State and sweeping away the last obstacle to the unification of the world by my Qin State depends on all of you here. ”

    Everyone bowed down together and said to King Qin, "Please give the king an order." ”

    King Qin turned around, nodded, and said to Wang Di: "General Wang, you lead my Qin State's 200,000 troops, and you can set off for Shangdang; In addition, Wang Qian, who was stationed in Yewang, led a large army of 100,000 to take advantage of the weakness of the Shangdang Zhao army at this time, and must break through the Tianjing Pass in the south of the Shangdang area to complete the encirclement of the Zhao army in the Shangdang area. ”

    Everyone replied in unison, "No." ”

    The van where Ji Kang and his son were sitting, the curtain on the window had already been lifted by the eldest brother Ji Xi. Before entering Xiangping City, I saw the tall city wall built with bricks, stone and cement from a distance.

    Although Ji Xi is in Yangle, the capital of Liaoxi County, he has seen the city wall made of masonry and cement. But now seeing the walls of Xiangping City, it is still equally shocking. In the car, he pointed to the city wall and said, "Brother Kang, how many cities are there in total that you have built with this cement?" ”

    Ji Kang's father also wanted to know, and also set his sights on Ji Kang.

     Seeing this, Ji Kang said with a smile: "There are not a few, that is, the four county governments of the four counties of Liaodi, which are completely made of masonry and cement. Most of the other counties are still brick and stone structures of the past, but some cities have added this material. ”

    After the convoy entered Xiangping City, looking at the neat buildings and wide streets planned in Xiangping City, the eldest brother Ji Xi's eyes were even more dizzying, pointing to the street lamp poles standing tall on both sides of the main street, and asked in surprise: "Brother Kang, what are these things?" ”

    Ji Kang smiled and said to Ji Xi: "Big brother, this is a street lamp, which is used to light the street at night, and it was just built this year." ”

    "Ah! Ji Xi and his father exclaimed at the same time, but they didn't have time to ask too much. Because the vehicle had arrived, the door of the official residence where Ji Kang's father and his party were entertained.

    This official house was renovated on the basis of the original official residence in Xiangping City after Ji Kang came to Liaodi. The internal facilities and decorations specially used to entertain the "high-level" personnel who came to Liaodi were no less than those of the Prince's Mansion and were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

    At the subsequent dust washing banquet, everyone who followed Ji Kang's father to Liaodi from Jidu was completely stunned.

    In the ballroom are round tables covered with white cloth embroidered with various patterns; Around each round table are eight chairs, which have become popular in thistles; In the middle of each table are flowers in fine porcelain.

    Such a unique welcome banquet gives everyone a luxurious and elegant feeling. If nothing else, how much is this exquisite porcelain worth in this era?

    Seeing all this, everyone sat cautiously at the table, for fear that they would be embarrassed.

    This is not the end, wait for Ji Kang and Jun to play Xin, after paying tribute to the welcome speech. At the beginning of the banquet, the dishes served by the chefs were artistically processed, which was never seen before. The white porcelain plates, bowls, small plates, wine cups, etc. with various patterns made everyone's eyes widen.

     waited until everyone sat down, only to find that on the table, there were stacks of table paper in front of everyone, and everyone was a little "confused".

    The old man saw everyone like this and knew what everyone was thinking. But it was not strange, and he picked up a napel and wiped his lips demonstratively. When everyone saw this, they understood. Everyone's face showed an embarrassed smile.

    Especially when the service staff next to it poured clear and mellow liquor for these guests from the thistle, the atmosphere was reached. At first, everyone thought it was white water. But as soon as you smell it, you know it's wine.

    Many people drink it in one sip, but they didn't expect that the degree of this wine is much higher than the wine brewed in Yanguo now. Many people were flushed and coughed. I don't want to be embarrassed, but I'm still embarrassed!

    Fortunately, Ji Kang's father received the liquor sent by Ji Kang during the Chinese New Year, but he was well-informed. But when he saw the people who came with him, he was embarrassed.

    And the eldest brother Ji Xi, during the Chinese New Year, Ji Kang didn't give him wine, and his father didn't let him drink this kind of liquor. At this time, he was naturally shocked.

    After the banquet, Ji Kang took his father and eldest brother to the inner courtyard of the county government.

     Last month, after learning the news that my father was coming. The mother said to Ji Kang with a "frost" on her face: "Your father still has our mother and son in his heart?" Go, leave him alone! ”

    Ji Kang saw this, and his heart was deeply worried! I am afraid that after my father comes, my mother and father will have new conflicts.

    But then, a series of practices by his mother Ji Zhao simply made Ji Kang dumbfounded.

    First of all, everyone in the inner courtyard began to get busy, painting the inner courtyard of the prince's mansion, cleaning, and the houses were cleaned clean, spotless, and cleaner than during the New Year.

    My mother then personally selected all kinds of cloth and had her make more than 30 sets of clothes. If it weren't for Ji Kang's daze and making his mother embarrassed, I'm afraid it would be more. Of course, the attendants and palace maids were also reissued with two sets of clothes each, which made everyone very happy.

     The father and son came to the inner courtyard, Wangcai first pounced on the "momentum", and after surrounding Ji Kang's father and eldest brother Ji Xi, he found that it was a familiar taste, called twice, and ran to Ji Kang's side and squatted.

    This can make the eldest brother Ji happy. Said to Wangcai: "Wangcai, you still know me!" ”

    I watched my newly dressed mother greet her in person, and when I saw my father, my eyes were red. And his father was also very excited, and said to his mother: "Zhao Ji...... I've come to see you......"

    Ji Kang and eldest brother Ji Xi, look at each other. Are you two like that, right? Don't forget, your sons, you're still around!

    Just like when they were young, the two still have a tacit understanding.

    Ji Kang immediately pulled, and Ji Xi, who was about to salute his mother Ji Zhao, said to the eldest brother: "Big brother, go, go to my study and show you a few things." ”

    "Oh, oh, good, good, Kangdi, I also want to see if I haven't seen you in the past few years, what good things do you have?" ”

    After that, the two didn't say hello to Ji Kang's father and mother, and walked towards the courtyard where Ji Kang lived with Wangcai.

    The two walked to the door of Ji Kang's courtyard study, and Ji Xi said to Ji Kang embarrassedly: "Brother Kang, where is the toilet?" I'm going to bow down. ”

    Ji Kang said to his eldest brother: "Big brother, you don't have to go so far!" It's in the study. ”

    Ji Xi looked "confused", thinking that he had heard it wrong. What the? My brother built the latrine into the study?

    Ji Kang saw this and knew that his eldest brother had misunderstood. said to Ji Xi: "Big brother, you will know when you go in." ”

    This problem can't be delayed, Ji Xi had to follow Ji Kang to the study, and he didn't care about inspecting the furnishings in Ji Kang's study, so he followed Ji Kang to the study, the door of a separate isolated room.

    Ji Kang said to Ji Xi: "The bathroom is inside, you go in!" ”

    "Bathroom? ...... "But I couldn't take care of it, Ji Xi ran in."

    After almost half an hour, Ji Kang hasn't seen his eldest brother Ji Xi come out. I suddenly wondered, that is, you have constipation, it should come out at this time, right?

      was thinking about it when he heard Ji Xi's embarrassed voice coming from the bathroom: "Brother Kang, where is your toilet here?" I can't find it! ”

    Ji Kang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, there is a small basket on the wall on the right side of the Gong bucket, which contains toilet paper, you can use that, just throw it into the Gong bucket when you are finished." ”

    "Ah! The surprised voice of the eldest brother Ji Xi came from inside.

    Ji Kang couldn't, so he had to continue to introduce and shouted outside: "Big brother, after you finish Gong, there is a rope on the wall behind you, if you pull it down, the water will automatically come down and flush the Gong bucket." ”

    "Oh, oh. Ji Xi's surprised voice came from the bathroom again.

     Then, Ji Kang heard the sound of "banging" water in the bathroom. After a while, I saw my eldest brother Ji Xi running out of the bathroom with a surprised face, and said to Ji Kang excitedly: "Brother Kang, what kind of bathroom are you, it's amazing." You give me the drawings, and I'll build one when I get back. ”

      Immediately Ji Xi thought of something, didn't wait for Ji Kang to speak, turned his face to a blank face, and said to Ji Kang: "Brother Kang, it's not the eldest brother who said you." Big brother knows that you are not short of money now, but we are all part of the Yan royal family and should play an exemplary role. You're too extravagant here, and you're dealing with white paper with a price higher than gold, and you'll have to change it in the future! ”

    Hearing Ji Xi's words, Ji Kang's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. With his hands outstretched, he said "ah", and it was impossible to talk anymore. How can I be extravagant? This...... That's not the answer!

    In the past two years, I just gave the white paper to the Thistle Palace as a tribute for my grandfather and father to use, and forgot to give them the toilet paper. You can't blame me for that, right? Now in Liaodi, because the cost performance of white paper is much higher than that of toilet paper, the production of toilet paper is a little less.

    But it's not over yet, Ji Xi picked up the eldest brother's shelf, still nagging: "Not only are you living luxuriously, but I think even the officials in Liaodi are not bad." You see, at the reception banquet, you actually used jade carved wine utensils. Brother Kang, didn't you see your father frowning? Also, look at your bathroom! ”

     didn't wait for Ji Kang to finish speaking, and didn't wait for Ji Kang to reply, so he pulled Ji Kang into the bathroom.

    After coming in, Ji Xi pointed to the glass mirror that was only invented in the bathroom at the beginning of this year, as well as the white porcelain washstand, toilet, and bathtub used underneath, and said to Ji Kang: "Brother Kang, you see that these are peerless treasures, how can you be so extravagant?" Do this with these things? And the windows of your house outside are also made of transparent jade......"

    Ji Kang is already helpless, okay! I haven't had time to tell you that it's called glass, okay? You're complaining, what's the matter!

    In a hurry, he shouted outside: "Shi Kang, come in and explain to my eldest brother!" ”
