Although Yang Hao was sympathetic to the plight of those slaves, he was only sympathetic.

He is no longer the kind of hot-blooded young man who fights against evil for the sake of his blood and justice, and from his point of view, he sees the entire civilization, a historical process precipitated by thousands of years of history.

The glory and disgrace of individuals and the rise and fall of individuals seem so insignificant in the face of such a civilization.

The hut plan, Yang Hao just did it easily, success is naturally good, even if it is not successful, it will affect the normal development of Qi State.

Putting this matter aside, Yang Hao is still more concerned about the development of Qi Guo this year and the child who is about to be born in Pu Jia's belly.

This year's cultivated area has increased several times compared to last year, and if all goes well, it is conservatively estimated that the harvest will be enough to last several years for the country's current population.

It's just that grain is not easy to preserve, and under the current conditions, millet can be preserved for more than two years, and then it will be inedible.

And the extra food, Yang Hao must think about how to use them.

Fortunately, Yang Hao has a lot of processed food products in his mind.

For example, wine is one of them, and Yang Hao wanted to brew wine a long time ago, but he has been suffering from the scarcity of food and cannot implement it.

If this year's grain can be like last year's, the wine-making plan will be included in the Qi court's goals for the next year.

In addition to farming, all the workshops and shops related to the Qi State belong to the nature of the state-run enterprises, although the people in Chang'an City have sporadic transactions in private, but they are negligible compared with the shops supported by the Qi court.

The large and small shops scattered in the villages and towns of Qiguo County basically cover the living needs of the people in this era.

From salt and grain metal utensils to jewelry and pottery, it can be said that everything can be said.

In such an environment, it is difficult for non-governmental trade to develop.

It's just that Yang Hao doesn't want to change anything about this, although having a prosperous business can make people-to-people exchanges more active and promote the development of this civilization.

It's just that what Yang Hao needs now is not that kind of false prosperity, but real strength, that is, to concentrate on doing great things, use the power he can control, give full play to the advantages of Qi State, and use the fastest and most efficient way to complete his goals.

From the current point of view, the effect of this policy is still very good, with the country's regulation and control, although the Qi country looks a little rigid, everything pays attention to a rule, but if the Qi people are allowed to choose between absolute freedom and democracy, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will raise their hands to demand to maintain the current state.

This mentality is not difficult to understand, just like the Taizu era in another time and space, although it was far less prosperous than the reform era in that era, there are still many people who miss the life of the Taizu era in the reform era.

This feeling has nothing to do with material conditions, but only with happiness.

And the Qi State in the first year of Hongwu under the rule of Yang Hao, not to mention that everyone is happy, at least the vast majority of people are happy.

This happiness is based on the premise of political clarity, a very small gap between the rich and the poor, and extremely active mobility between classes.

Yang Hao sorted out the current production and construction progress of Qi State.

At present, the only two official roads are still under construction, these two official roads are from Chang'an City, connecting Qicheng and Gucheng, these two roads are not simply cleaning up weeds and stones, but the real sense of the highway.

This kind of highway is naturally not an asphalt road, but is paved with a large number of bluestone slabs, which can be imagined how huge the amount of work is.

More than half a year has passed since the start of the plan to build official roads, but the roads paved with bluestone slabs are only three or four miles of Chang'an City, and the rest of the roads are relatively flat dirt roads, even those dirt roads, but so far they have only caused one-third of the construction progress.

At this rate, it will take at least two years for these two official roads to be fully completed.

Spending such a long time to build these two roads, Yang Hao thinks it is completely worth it.

If the official road is opened, both the speed of the delivery of troops and the speed of the transfer of materials will be increased by several times.

This increase in speed may determine the success or failure of a war and the speed of Qi's external expansion.

The three cities of Qi are now interconnected, like a second-hand brain, the two cities of Qi are the two arms of Qi, and the highway is like a nerve connecting the brain.

Under the flexible command of the brain, both arms will be twice as effective with half the effort, whether it is defending or attacking.

Yang Hao finished reading the progress of the laying of the official road, and nodded, this progress was still within his expectations, although he could send some more people to participate, but he didn't want to do it.

Qi still has plans for external expansion, and the primary goal now is accumulation, and grain and metal are the foundation of a country in this era.

After hurriedly reading the bunch of official documents handed over by the official, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction, there were not any things in these official documents that bothered him too much.

Even the construction of local universities, which he was most worried about, received some good news.

The young gentlemen have arrived at their respective places of office, and the school is being built at a faster or lower pace.

Just when Yang Hao was complacent about the orderly development of his country, a palace goddess ran over in a panic.

"King! King! Oh no! ”

Yang Hao frowned, and said with some annoyance: "The land of the king, why is it so noisy!" ”

Only then did the palace maid realize her gaffe, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave is guilty!" ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Yang Hao said coldly.

"Back to the king, Concubine Shuniang suddenly had a stomachache just now, maybe she was about to give birth."

The palace maid hurriedly replied.

Yang Hao's face changed when he heard this, he stood up from his seat at once, and regardless of his image, he stepped on a pair of flip-flops in a vest and big pants, and hurriedly ran towards the palace where Pu Jia was.

When Yang Hao arrived at Pu Jia's dormitory, he saw that Nujiao and the others had already come here one step ahead of him, so he was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

"How's Pujia now?"

Nujiao saluted and said, "The king doesn't have to worry, he has already called the midwife in the palace." ”

Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, although he was anxious, he also knew that he couldn't help himself if he went in now, so he could only pace back and forth in the courtyard.

Nujiao looked at Yang Hao's restless appearance, and secretly sighed and said, "King, don't worry, Sister Shufei will naturally be fine if she is healthy." ”

Yang Hao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why did you come so quickly." ”

Hearing this, Nujiao smiled and said: "Our sisters are chatting here, but we never thought that my sister suddenly had signs of labor, so we can only ask the maid to call the king over." ”

Yang Hao nodded, glanced at Nu Jiao and the other three, nodded and didn't ask anything.
