Yang Zhi lay on his stomach in the grass, pouting, tears rolling in his eyes, looking like he was about to cry.

got up from the ground, looked behind him, and saw Yang Hao looking at him with a straight face.

Yang Zhi finally didn't cry, stood up, looked around, but didn't see the figure of the gnat, pouted and ran towards the female Jiao.

Seeing this, Yang Hao showed a relieved smile on his face.

He doesn't have any plans to get used to children, this little ghost is his own seed, and he will inherit his position in the future.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really worthy of being the child of the king, he is really brave!"

Yin smiled.

Although Yang Hao didn't show anything on the surface, he was very relieved in his heart.

As long as Yang Zhi has the qualifications of the monarch, the future crown prince will also be decided.

He is still young, and he must have many children, and if each child has similar abilities, the eldest son is undoubtedly the best candidate.

After chatting with the ministers for a while, Yang Hao lay on the grass and looked at the starry night sky.

Whether it is in a previous life or just left, the starry sky above his head does not seem to have changed at all.

It's just that this world has long been a matter of fact, and has experienced the rise and fall of hundreds of generations.

Yang Hao suddenly felt a little homesick, if calculated according to the direction, his former home was in the far north, but I don't know if there are people in that place now.

The home of the previous life is gone, and even if you return to the same latitude and longitude, there is no familiar place to be, and even if you find it, what can you do?

"King! This time, I went to the Yu clan to include it in our country. ”

Yin asked.

Yang Hao sat up and patted the dirt on his body.

"Not for the time being, keeping them will be good for me, what we need to do is to protect the mineral deposits over there."

"Now that mining has begun there, the road is difficult to travel, and it takes a lot of time to transport the ore back to China, so I think it is better to set up the smelting site on the side of the mine."

Yang Hao walked back and forth, stopped and said: "No, metal smelting is the secret technique of my Great Qi, and I can't leak any of it, isn't it time to build a new city in the south, and after it is built, move the smelting land from Xin there." ”

Yin still felt in his heart that it would be okay to directly occupy the Yu clan, so that any trouble would be saved, but since Yang Hao did not agree to this matter, he had no choice but to give up.

Yang Hao naturally knew that it was most efficient to place the smelting place in the metal mining area, not because he cared about Youyu, but because he had his own concerns.

As he said just now, the metal smelting technology, Qi Guo has long left the rest of the forces behind.

It's just that these techniques are not very complicated, as long as there are craftsmen captured, the leading technology of Qi will no longer be there, which will bring great obstacles to his future plan to annex the world.

After all, the official road has not yet been repaired to this side, and the Yu clan is too far away from the hinterland of Qi State, if there is an accident over there, the backward transportation will not be able to make an effective response to Qi State.

Yang Hao could only wait, and when the official road was cultivated to the southern border of the Qi State, all this would naturally not be a problem.

And by that time, the population of Qi had already undergone earth-shaking changes, as long as there were people, he could spread the hinterland of Qi to all around.

"King, there has been no news about Xia Qi for a long time, and the minister feels that Xia Qi will definitely not be willing to fail, and it is better for me to prepare early."

Yang Hao nodded.

"After coming back from Youyu, send a team of spies to the west to find out the situation, then Xia Qi had better be honest, if he is in a hurry to find death, we would rather develop a few years later than destroy him."

Early in the morning, the team of the southern tour continued to move south, and the villages along the way were immediately nervous when they heard the arrival of the King of Qi.

It's just that Yang Hao is still sympathetic to his people.

The newly conquered land is in a state of ruin, and if he is extravagant and wasteful because of his arrival, then his southern tour will be of little significance.

For the villages and towns with a small number of people, Yang Hao just sent a few officials to offer condolences, and for those cities with nearly 1,000 people, Yang Hao personally appeared and said some encouraging words.

As for the content, it is nothing more than incendiary words such as Daqi loves the people like a son, and can live a good life with Qi Guogan.

If modern people hear this, they may scold a fool, but for the ragged and hungry savages, there is a glimmer of hope for survival.

Yang Hao is such a noble person to think of a lowly person like himself, which is unimaginable in the former Youxin clan.

Another reason why these poor people have confidence in Qi is that Qi is resolute and resolute.

After the conquest of Youxin, the state of Qi abolished slavery as they promised, and also cracked down on the slave traders with harsh means.

Officials sent by the Great Qi also held several public trials and imposed due sanctions on those who had committed the most heinous crimes.

After each slave owner's trial, the officials would tell the onlookers that justice might come late, but it would never be absent.

Regardless of whether Yang Hao is buying people's hearts or a sense of justice from the bottom of his heart.

The final result was the same, that is, the rebellion of the newly conquered Youxin clan during this period was very rare, and most people still maintained a friendly attitude towards the Qi country.

In addition, the territory of Qi is not large, and the speed of suppression is also extremely fast, in general, in the past half a year, there has been no major chaos in the new territory.

Although the new territory has not been transformed into an agricultural entity, agricultural cultivation has been carried out to a greater or lesser extent where officials have been stationed.

It's just that the sum of these fields is not as productive as the original territory of Qi State.

Yang Hao is also very helpless about this, it is not a simple matter to turn the original semi-farming and semi-animal husbandry into a pure agricultural structure.

In the past, the territory was as big as boogers, but now it has increased several times, and it is more difficult to manage than before.

If he wanted to make this place as rich as the original three cities of Qi Kingdom, Yang Hao felt that he couldn't do it without a few years of work.

Before that, he could only hope that there would be no large-scale natural disasters here at the highest level, and that it would be self-sufficient, otherwise disaster relief would greatly deplete Daqi's national strength.

After all, these are his Yang Hao's people, and he can't watch these people starve to death and the tragedy of changing children and eating will occur.

There are two sides to everything, and there are many benefits to expanding the territory, but if you want to make these benefits not turn into disadvantages, you need to test the ability of the ruler, and now Yang Hao feels a little powerless.

The group of people on the southern tour traveled all the way, inspected the people's livelihood along the way, and did not arrive at the southern border of Qi until the end of August.
