In late November, the Thistle Palace, the Affinity Palace.

The attendant Ling Wang Cong frowned as he looked at the youngest king sitting at the table, with the most vast territory and population of this era. On his desk, there is the household registration of the newly established Jixi County and the measured data of the acres of fields.

"The government of Jixi County has mobilized all the people and started to sow winter wheat. In the past two years that Zhao occupied the west of the Jihe River, half of the acres of land were deserted, and most of them were fertile fields, no wonder Zhao was always short of grain. ”

Putting down the Jibei County Shou'an Yuan in his hand and submitting a document, Ji Kang couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas! What a mess! Jixi is still like this, and the rest of the Central Plains ......"

At this time in China, the biggest tragedy is that there have been frequent wars for hundreds of years.

Many places are depressed and abnormal, the Central Plains, which was originally a land of elites, has a relatively mild climate at this time, trees are everywhere, the wind and rain are smooth, and compared with Ji Kang's previous life, the natural ecology is many times better.

But because of this damn war, many places have been cut off from population and are wasteland.

The most important thing in troubled times is not money and treasure, but population and food.

The young king had a clear understanding of this.

"Come on, make a cup of tea for the widow." Ji Kang commanded.

Since ascending the throne as Queen Yan, Ji Kang has also begun to drink tea.

When he came to this era, Ji Kang knew that tea had become popular in various countries at this time.

"Huayang Guozhi Ba Zhi": "King Wu of Zhou is the master of Bashu,...... Tea honey ...... All of them are tribute. It can be seen that tea has become popular as a rare item in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, people used tea, and most of them were boiled like other foods.

Brewing tea with boiling water is the trend that Ji Kang took the lead in Yan Kingdom.

In the porcelain cup or glass, put a little tea leaves, and then wash with boiling water, the faint tea fragrance, with the water vapor soaked into the heart and spleen, drink it, the mouth is fragrant, let people linger for a long time.

Of course, because sugar production had already begun in Yan Country at this time, Ji Kang sometimes asked people to put some sugar in the tea.

As the saying goes, "the upper effect is the lower defense." Ji Kang's unique way of drinking tea immediately spread among the courtiers, and then spread to various officials and gentry.

In a short period of time, brewing tea with boiling water and entertaining distinguished guests has become a popular way in Yan Kingdom.

Just like Queen Yan Su Ya and her two ladies Qingzhu and Qingmei, they like to thin their hair into a high style.

When the maids in the palace saw this, they began to follow suit, and then spread throughout the Yan Kingdom.

Now this high bun pattern has spread among the women in various counties and counties of Yan Kingdom, and it is beautiful.

And on this basis, the development of a half-turned bun, reverse bun, Leyou bun, sorrowful bun, lily bun, hoof bun, panhuan bun, change around the fairy bun and other bun patterns, the style of the bun can be described as a fierce and glamorous.

The Chinese bun culture has a long history. "The Story of the Dressing Table" said: "King Wen of Zhou added beads and emerald flowers to the bun, and applied it with lead powder, and its bun was high and called a phoenix bun." There are also cloud buns, shaking step by step, so it is said to be shaking step by step. From this, we can see it.

These changes in the women's buns of the Yan Kingdom even alarmed Ji Kang and the court.

A minister asked Ji Kang: "Your Majesty, the woman of my Yan Kingdom is tall and tall, why not?" ”

He has always been recognized by the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom as a young king who is quick and omniscient.

When he was asked like this by his subordinates, he was stunned.

After staying for a long time, he said: "I don't know!" ”

When all the ministers heard this, they all laughed.

Ji Kang deeply knew that in China at this time, the development of ideas was the most in the previous dynasties.

The beauty of China is reflected in all aspects.

Huaxia, Huaxia, "there is the beauty of the uniform, which is called Hua; There is a great etiquette, so it is called summer. ”

In terms of architecture, the cities of China are all squarely planned, which not only reflects the majestic masculinity, but also gives people a sense of beauty.

The streets and alleys inside, including the palace houses, are also scattered.

Whether it is a king's palace or a resident's house, they are all arched and eaves, layer upon layer.

In particular, the palace complex of Jigong Palace, after hundreds of years of continuous construction, at this time it is the culmination of Chinese architecture.

The main hall of the court in front, including the palace group such as the affinity hall in the rear, is majestic and magnificent, and it is breathtaking; The harem is small and beautiful, the corridor is ringing, the flowing water is murmuring, and the carved beams are painted.

In terms of culture, in a conversation between Ji Kang and several cabinet ministers, including Tian Guang, Gao Yanli, Qin Wuyang and others.

Ji Kang said: "The beauty of my China is reflected in all aspects. The beauty is not only in the food, architecture, and uniforms, but also in the etiquette and culture. The "Book of Songs" and the "Chu Ci" in the south of China at this time are the representatives of my Chinese culture! ”

At this time, Yan Guo had officially named the "Three Hundred Poems" that were popular in various countries as "The Book of Songs".

And the poems that were popular in the southern Chu State, especially the poems written by Qu Yuan and others, were officially compiled and named "Chu Ci".

Originally, due to the constraints of conditions, all countries used bulky wooden bamboo slips.

For many poems that are popular in the northern countries and the southern Chu country, there are also people in all countries in the world who want to compile them.

However, there is also a lack of power.

You must know that if you want to compile these, you need not only a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Let's just say that if you want to compile these things, I am afraid that the amount of wood and bamboo slips required will not fit in the whole room.

With the improvement of paper, the implementation of printing, and the speed of cultural transmission in Yanguo over the years have been many times faster than in the past. It has gradually broken the monopoly of these cultural knowledge in the past among the gate valve aristocracy.

So many Chinese moving and gorgeous poems have been collected in the "Literature and History Museum" built in Xiangping College according to the edicts issued by the kings of Yan Kingdom.

Especially this year, the Ministry of Rites of Yan Guo cooperated with Xiangping University to compile and publish the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" - these two poetry albums printed on paper, which shocked the world.

What used to take a room of wooden bamboo slips now requires only two books printed on paper.

How can people who read books in the world not like it? How can you not love?

"The Book of Songs" is realistic, and "Chu Ci" is romantic. These two books were compiled and annotated, and they were personally ordered by Yan Wangkang to promote the world. Yan Guo's move has brought Yan Guo's status in the world to a higher level.

Coupled with the impetus of "Yan Guo Xun Bao", the direction of public opinion in the world was completely controlled by Yan Guo.

Today's China, whether it is clothing, decoration, or even food, dress, architecture, culture, etc., are all gorgeous and colorful, and have been imitated and worshiped by people all over China.

In Ji Kang's view, Huaxia at this time is without Ji Kang's arrival, and it is already at the highest peak in the world in all aspects. It can be said that there is no one, only one.

It is no wonder that at that time in Xiangping College, when the old dean Zou Yan faced the globe, he did not hesitate to rename the continents of the world. The people of China, in this era, although there are constant wars, are so heroic, graceful and luxurious.

Ji Kang also said to the ministers: "A country's strength is reflected in all aspects, not only good economic development, strong army, rich people, etc., but also reflected in etiquette, culture, etc., cultural output is also a symbol of a country's strength!" ”

After thinking about it, all the ministers nodded in agreement.
