Ye Qingqiu didn't know how many years history could go back to.

But the earliest origin of the history books,

It came from a tribe named Xia more than 2,000 years ago.

This is also,

To date, the oldest writing ever discovered.

It's just that the writing at that time was extremely primitive compared to today.

According to historical records,

In the beginning, Kyushu was composed of tribes of all sizes. 𝙈.𝓥𝕆𝓓𝓣🆆.🄲𝙊𝕄

Later, as the tribe slowly grew stronger, the concept of the state emerged.

These were also the earliest vassal states.

However, these vassal states, compared with the present, are more and more primitive and backward.

None of the systems appeared.

The so-called country is composed of the original tribes.

The population of each country is a few hundred and a few thousand.

Over time,

These countries slowly grew stronger, and soon conquered each other, gradually evolving into a situation of strife in the world.

basically

The source of the current Kyushu countries,

They were all tribes that used to be tribes, and then slowly developed into a country.

Since the area of each country was not large at that time, the number of countries in the entire Kyushu was also very large.

About 1,000 years ago,

With the merger of each other,

A number of so-called large countries have emerged all over Kyushu.

then

Being able to assemble an army of more than 10,000 people is already the existence of a hegemon.

Time goes back in time,

The princes annexed each other and continued to expand.

Slowly, Kyushu, which is more familiar to people now, was formed.

thereinto

Including the State of Song, the State of Wu, the State of Zheng, and the State of Wei, all had glorious moments at that time.

Even

In that year, there was also the first superpower with the ability to annex the world.

That's the Kingdom of Jin!

For the Jin State, the history books of the Qi State are very detailed.

Because the Qi State back then was also very powerful.

It's just that due to the existence of the Jin State, the Qi State has never been able to enter the Central Plains.

The state of Chu, which rose later, started a struggle for hegemony with the Jin state.

Although the Jin Kingdom initially had the upper hand,

But in the end, it was the state of Chu that won.

Arguably.

The countries that have survived to the present day have more or less glorious pasts, but these glories have disappeared in the long river of history with time.

Right now

With the annexation of the state of Chu,

The strength of the Qi State has surpassed that of all countries in the past.

Or rather,

There has never been a country that can occupy half of Kyushu like the Qi State.

The current territory of Qi is vast, the population is large, and the commerce is flourishing, all of which are unprecedented in the past.

And all this,

Ye Qingqiu can be regarded as a first-hand witness.

I have witnessed how in this short period of eight years, Qi has developed step by step from a small country that was weak and bullied by its neighbors to the current situation.

But they are also witnesses of history,

The Qi Kingdom in the previous life, compared with the present, is completely different.

In the previous life, under the toss of Han Lin, the national strength of the Qi State was weak and barren, the people were miserable, and the whole country was in a stormy stage.

But the current Qi country is diametrically opposed to the previous life.

The question is,

These two Qi countries are obviously one country.

The emperors are all the same person, and they all do the same ridiculous things, and even Han Lin in this life has done more excessively than in the previous life.

But it was under such circumstances that the Qi State was not weakened, but became stronger and stronger.

This is very puzzling.

Studied but cannot comprehend!

Why exactly?

However, when Ye Qingqiu faced the question in his heart, he couldn't find the answer.

Also in Yefu,

On the other side,

Ye Jinglong, don't mention how happy he is now.

Although he is over seventy years old,

But now Ye Jinglong seems to have returned to his youth, and he walks briskly.

Feel refreshed!

After all, looking at the current situation of Qi State, there is no way to be unhappy.

Think about the first half of your life,

It took a lifetime of energy and countless efforts to recreate the former glory of the Qi country.

Or rather,

This is Ye Jinglong's lifelong dream.

To this end,

Ye Jinglong studied for the rise of the Qi Kingdom, and when he was in his twenties, he was admitted to the top prize, and then relied on the connections of the Ye family to climb up step by step.

Finally enter the court.

subsequently

Ye Jinglong worked hard and dedicatedly for his ideals, and spent his life's efforts on the development of Qi State.

For Ye Jinglong, being able to see the rise of Qi is already his greatest wish.

Now, however,

This ideal has not only been realized, but even far beyond what I thought.

Not long since

When Han Lin first ascended the throne,

Faced with the defeat of the Qi army and the aggressiveness of the envoys of the Yan State, Han Lin chose to cede the imperial town Changlin Guan in exchange for a woman from the Yan State.

Although now,

The role of Changlin Pass has almost become a historical attraction.

But this does not prevent the importance of Changlin Pass to the Qi State in the past.

At that time, Ye Jinglong was disheartened and full of despair towards Qi Guo.

Even

I also heard my daughter's prophecy
