The decision of Zhao Wangdan to exchange Hexi for food in Yan was sent by the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng to pass it on to Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao in Jidu, who asked him to notify the Yan court as soon as possible.

After receiving Zheng Zhu's notification, Su Dai, the Prime Minister, immediately came to the Venerable Hall to report to Ji Kang in person.

"King, Zhao has decided to use the land of Hexi to exchange for the food of our Yan State."

"Oh, Su Xiang, Dai County, Yanmen, Yunzhong and other places, aren't Zhao willing to change it?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that Zhao State is unwilling to do so."

Ji Kang stood up and came to the map on the wall inside the Qinhe Hall, and turned his eyes to Dai County, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places at the northern end of Zhao State. Then, he looked at the Hetao area west of Yunzhong County.

Looking at the Hetao area, Ji Kang shook his head and said to himself:

"Yes, this place is too important for Zhao State. If I were a man, I would rather give up the Hexi land in the Central Plains than to give up Dai County, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places."

Speaking of this, Ji Kang stopped, and after a while, he said to himself: "It seems that you can't get it by talking or other things if you want to get Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong!"

Su Dai was shocked and bowed to Ji Kang behind Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to launch troops against Zhao State now!"

Ji Kang turned around and said with a smile to Su Dai:

"Su Xiang, who said that I am going to use troops to Zhao State now? However, Dai County, Yunzhong, and Yanmen are quite important to our Yan State. I..."

Having said this, Ji Kang didn't say anything more.

Su Dai, the prime minister of the Pavilion, also turned his attention to Dai County, Yunzhong, and Yanmen on the map.

I also understand it in my heart.

If this place belongs to Yan State, Yan State will completely gain geographical advantages and military initiative in the future competition for the world.

As long as Dai County, Yunzhong and Yanmen belong to Yan State, it will completely form a whole with Yan State Shanggu, Yuyang, and even Yan State capital Jidu.

Going south, you can admire the countries in the Central Plains;

Going north, you can wait for an opportunity to go north to attack nomadic peoples such as the Huns;

Going west, you can obtain your own king, the Hetao area that is often hung in your mouth, and you can wait for an opportunity to go south and conquer the Qin State.

Ji Kang turned around and looked at Acheng, Liaocheng, Xinyi and other cities in the west of Qidi.

After pondering for a while, Ji Kang turned to Su Taiyan and said:

"Since Zhao has made a decision to exchange Hexi for the food of our Yan State, then let's do it according to our Yan State! Wait a minute, you will discuss with the Drama and a few people. If there are no other objections, just do it accordingly."

"If our Yan State Court makes a decision, we must handle this matter as soon as possible. State Zhao must withdraw its troops in Hexi before the end of October. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. We need to handle this matter properly before the end of the year and resettle the people in Hexi."

"My minister Su Dai obeyed the order." Prime Minister Su Dai bowed to Ji Kang and said.

When Su Dai walked out of the palace of Qinhe, Ji Kang walked slowly in the palace.

The attendant in the hall, the king of the palace, saw the young king wandering for two circles and heard Ji Kang say to himself:

"It seems that after the beginning of spring, it is imperative to attack the Wei land. So, is it a big fight? Or should I stop after the Wei land be captured? Zhao State has strategies, and its intentions are not pure!"

After discussing with several other ministers including Ju Xin and Su Fu, he agreed to Zhao's request.

After everyone reported the results of the discussion to Ji Kang, the Prime Minister Su summoned the envoy of Zhao, Zheng Zhu, to discuss the matter.

After two days of negotiations, Su Dai and Zheng Zhu signed an agreement on behalf of Yan and Zhao.

The main provisions of the agreement between Yan and Zhao:

Zhao State handed over more than 20 cities, including Acheng, Liaocheng, Xinyi, etc., together with the people in their locations, to Yan State. The troops garrisoned in these cities must be replaced by the Yan State's army before the end of October;

Yan State provided no less than one million people with six months of food to Zhao State in batches.

After the agreement was signed, Ji Kang personally issued an edict ordering the general Bo Wang, who was stationed in Qi, to lead the Fourth Army to the Hexi area.

Then he issued an edict to establish Jixi County, and assigned Gaotang County of Jibei County to Jixi County as the county government of Jixi County.

He was transferred to the position of Gao Yuan, the governor of Wuyang County, and was the governor of Jibei County; the general Bo Wang was the governor of military and horses of Jibei County.

Gaotang was originally known as the "Northern Capital" of Qi. When the Yan State first joined forces to attack Qi, Gaotang City was occupied by Zhao State.

Later, in exchange for Tian Dan, Zhao returned the city to Qi.

This time, Gaotang City is reasonable as the county government of Jibei County and is not beyond the expectations of everyone.

Gao Yuan, the governor of Jibei County, and many Yan State officials who were transferred to Jibei County, encountered the problem of food shortage in the entire Jibei County except Gaotang County.

The Zhao army, who withdrew from Hexi, almost wiped out all the food in Hexi when they left because of the shortage of food in the country.

The only food left to the people of Jibei is less than two months.

The governor of Jibei County was so angry that he cursed.

The message was sent back to Jidu, but Ji Kang was not angry, and smiled and said to the ministers:

"It's good that this will give me Yan State a chance to win the hearts of the people of Hexi."

The ministers of Yan State were originally like Gao Yuan and were very angry.

But after hearing the words of his own king, everyone thought that this is indeed the case.

Is there a shortage of food in Yan State? It’s not shortage! Instead, it’s too rich.

Now many people in Yan State have begun to feed livestock with food!

However, the public opinion of the people of Hexi should be created by his own king.

Within two days, the Yan Guo Xunbao published a comment on the front page, saying, "Never let the people in Hexi go hungry and cold."

The comment pointed out: Yan State is a warm big family, and the people in Hexi must not be allowed to starve or freeze. People from other counties in Yan State must help the people in Hexi overcome difficulties together.

Comment on the people of all counties and counties: donate food and clothing, and never let any people in Jibei County go hungry, nor can any people in Jibei County be frozen.

In other pages of the week-end report, he wrote about the touching deeds of people from other counties and counties in Yan State donating food and materials.

Not to mention anything else, after this comment was published, it received positive praise from people from all over the State of Yan.

Especially, the people of Qi.

You should know that this Hexi land originally belonged to Qi.

The people in Hexi also belonged to the people in Qi.

Many people at the grassroots level, especially those in Shanggu and Yuyang counties, moved from Hexi to Shanggu and Yuyang counties, shed tears of excitement when they heard their hometown chiefs, village chiefs, and village chiefs reading this comment and touching deeds.

It’s still Yan State, this warm big family is so good!

In mid-November, a village near Acheng County, Wangjiazhuang.

On the street in the village, several young Yan soldiers were pounding the gongs in their hands to attract the people, and shouting loudly to the gathering people.

"Dear fellow villagers, please listen to us. Today, when natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly occurring in various places. My king thought about the people and knew the sufferings of the people in Hexi. He specially allocated countless food and materials from all over the country of Yan and distributed them to the people free of charge."

"From today, the villagers, led by the village chiefs and village elders appointed by each village, will start to distribute grain according to the registered civil book of the government. People who do not register the civil book will be registered immediately at the government."

"Please go to the designated grain shop or shop in the government designated by the government according to the registration book issued by the government. Dear people, go quickly and quickly."

Some people gathered over asked the people around them without hearing clearly:

"What are you saying? The government wants to distribute food and clothing for free?"

"Yes, the government wants to distribute food and clothing for free."

"I don't know, go to the village entrance to read the notice posted by the government, and someone is there to read it!"

"Oh, oh, I understand, I understand."

After repeated confirmation, the people of Wangjiazhuang spread ten to ten, and ten to hundreds, and the whole village became excited.

The people went home one after another and began to prepare to get the cloth bags for serving grain and other utensils.

On the street not far away, several people in extraordinary clothes were watching all this.

The person in the middle in front of him has a good temperament, and it is Gao Yuan, the county magistrate who came to Acheng County to inspect.

Gao Yuan turned around and said to the county magistrate and several officials of Acheng County beside him:

"Mr. Liu, you must actively organize the distribution of food, salt, clothing and other items this time, and count the population of the people in Acheng County as soon as possible."

"Remember, the king and even the court attach great importance to the distribution of food, clothing and other items to the people of Jibei County this time. We must not have any corruption incidents in our Jibei County, otherwise there will be heavy punishments."

County Magistrate Liu, who was just called by Gao Yuan, was also transferred from other places by the Ministry of Personnel.

After hearing the words of the county magistrate Gao Yuan, he bowed to Gao Yuan and said:

"Please rest assured by the county magistrate, and the subordinates promise that the population of Acheng County will be counted by the end of the month, and the people will be completely stabilized. If the subordinates fail to complete this task, they will definitely raise their heads to see the county magistrate."

When An Yuan heard this, he knew that the county magistrate graduated from Xiangping College.

Officials who graduated from Xiangping College speak like this. Whenever they say the tasks assigned by their superiors, they will always say in a decisive manner: "The task must be completed, otherwise they will come to see you."

His vibrant scene made An Yuan, who had been engaged in an official for decades, secretly feel sorry for him.

This is probably the vitality of an emerging dynasty! An Yuan often thinks so.

An Yuan nodded to the Acheng County Magistrate, said "Yeah" to the County Magistrate Liu:

"Mr. Liu, take my official to this village and take a look at the shops that distributed grain."

County Magistrate Liu from Acheng bowed to Gao Yuan and replied, "No."

Then, the county magistrate personally led the way.
Chapter completed!
