Ji Kang had no idea that in the far north, a man had regarded himself as his lifelong enemy. Even if he knew, Ji Kang would not have too much emotion, because Ji Kang knew that he was probably the enemy of all the kings in the world now.

One is the enemy, five, and ten are all enemies, so what else do I care about!

In mid-July, in a garden in the Royal Palace of Handan City, Ji Kang looked at the planting in the garden, and was blooming with white bones, showing a surprised expression.

Regardless of the surprised gazes of Queen Mother Ji Zhao, Queen Su Ya and others, he stepped in.

Everyone saw Ji Kang picking a "flower" carefully among the "flowers", and pinched it carefully and then, and smiles began to pile up on his face, and laughed out loud.

Then, Ji Kang walked out of the garden and asked Empress Dowager Ji Zhao, "My mother, when was this flower planted? Do you have an impression of it?"

Ji Zhao thought Ji Kang loved this flower, so she smiled and said, "In my impression, this Jibei flower was planted in the palace a long time ago. Your grandmother likes this Jibei flower more. This place was planted by her."

After saying the above, Empress Dowager Ji Zhao found that Ji Kang's face had a long-lost expression of excitement.

When he was young, Ji Kang had many such excited expressions, but as he grew older, especially after ascending the throne as King of Yan, he rarely saw this expression on Ji Kang's face.

Jibeihua seems to be an external transliteration, yes, this is cotton.

"Come, send someone to take care of this garden. After the flowers bloom fully, order people to pick them, especially the seeds inside, to be well-supervised? You must not slack off. Also, send someone to send these seeds to the college's agricultural college? Let them cultivate and promote them." Ji Kang said to the servant Ling Wang Congyan, who followed him.

Discovering cotton at this time is a very commendable thing.

The current wool cloth in Yan State has begun to become popular? If there is this cotton again? It will not only promote civil affairs, but also military, medical, etc.

Needless to say, people’s clothing and even quality of life will inevitably improve accordingly.

Not to mention military and medicine? The bandage and hemostasis of military wounded soldiers can be replaced by cotton. In medicine, with the development of anatomy in various medical colleges in Yan State, the secrets of the human body are also unfolded to people. And surgical operations brought by anatomy have better materials.

Ji Kang found that cotton had not been in good mood for long, and then he was completely destroyed by Zhou Zi who came.

In a palace, Ji Kang looked at Zhou Zi who was advising him and felt extremely disappointed.

"...The king is all about the safety of the country. Zhao has just been incorporated into our country? The security is still very worrying. But the king brought the queen and others to go out to the palace to play privately? It is really impossible to mention the safety of the country..."

Yesterday? Ji Kang, Queen Su Ya, and two wives Qing Zhu and Qing Mei left the palace? They went to the streets of Handan City to have a meal? It was not too long.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Zi came to the palace again today.

Looking at Zhou Zi who was still chattering at him, Ji Kang was helpless.

The attendant Wang Cong, accompanied by Ji Kang, as well as the Changda Doctors Han Fei, Ju Wu, and the commander of the Gong Guard Tian Guang and others were obviously "not surprised" by such a situation, and they all lowered their heads and laughed secretly.

After occupying Handan, Ji Kang issued an edict to transfer Zhou Zi in Linzi to assist in governing Zhao territory.

Not to mention, the old man Zhou Zi is very capable. The various policies and even measures of Yan State were carried out in an orderly manner in Zhao, which made Ji Kang very satisfied.

The only thing that made Ji Kang dissatisfied was that the old man Zhou Zi was too "talking" and kept picking on Ji Kang's faults. Moreover, people were not afraid of Ji Kang, regardless of whether Ji Kang was willing or not.

This is very embarrassing!

After watching the old man Zhou Zi finally stopped talking, Ji Kang coughed and said to Zhou Zi with a smile: "Sir, I know my mistake, please don't worry, sir, I won't do this again in the future."

"I am very pleased to see that the king realizes something is wrong. I would like to ask the king to put Yan State first in the future. I must not..." Zhou Zi looked at Ji Kang, advised him again as usual before he sued him and left.

After sending the old man out of the palace, Ji Kang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the old man's back as he left.

...

After the matter in Handan was over, under the urging of the Ge Xiangju Xin, Su Fu and others, Ji Kang discussed with Zhou Zi of Handan and other ministers, and decided to return to Jidu from Handan in early August.

In the newly established Handan County, Ji Kang appointed Zhou Zi as the county magistrate, transferred to the First Army Changrong Yan as the military commander of the Handan County, and also served as the commander of the newly formed 15th Army Army, stationed in Handan County.

Needless to say, Rong Yan has been the commander of the First Army for many years and has extremely rich experience in training the army and even combat. In Ji Kang's mind, it is also very appropriate to let Zhou Zi serve as a local administrative official and govern the party.

Zhou Zi was not good at speaking and had a strong sense of responsibility. Letting him come to Zhao will also make it easier for the people in Zhao to agree with Yan State more.

On the way back to Jidu from Handan, Ji Kang had seen people along the way starting to build ditches, roads, and various factories under the leadership of the government. For this situation, Ji Kang stopped from time to time and asked about it, but the result was very satisfied.

You should know that Zhao Di needs rest and recuperation at this time, which is also necessary.

Since its founding, the State of Zhao has been wars for a long time, especially in the twenty years since Ji Kang came to this world, not to mention small battles or large battles, the State of Zhao has experienced the battles between Changping, Handan, Anyang, Weidi, and even Yanzhao.

In every family and every household in Zhao State, adult men died in battle on the battlefield. It can be said that most of the young and above men in Zhao State now died in battle.

That's it, Ji Kang also knew one thing. In the Zhao State in his previous life, Zhao State had always faced a battle between the east and west, and still resisted Qin State for more than 20 years. The powerful Qin State Ruishi Legion repeatedly "defeated" the Zhao State. He worked hard to finally destroy Zhao State.

Especially when the Qin general Wang Jian finally attacked Handan, the people of Zhao State actually let all the children in their family jump to the city and die when they were lost in Handan, and they were unwilling to be the "submissive people" of Qin State.

What tragic is this? What a sadness!

After learning about the current situation in Zhao, in order to restore the vitality of Zhao, Ji Kang ordered Zhao to change from two years of tax exemption to three years. After three years, the tax revenue will be reduced by half. After five years, it will be the same as other parts of Yan State.

Ji Kang had no idea of ​​enfeoffment or even establishing special areas for the newly occupied places of Yan State. In Ji Kang's view, China was originally integrated, so that these places would be best integrated into Yan State, which is one country, one system.

Don’t think about not submitting the treasury taxes, and don’t think about not serving in the military.

Ji Kang's actions did not have too much impact on Yan's fiscal revenue.

No dynasty or country in any system can truly eliminate the problem of inequality between the rich and the poor.

Just like in the Yan State, many old nobles disappeared, but then a group of new vested interests emerged, and these new vested interests all had close relationships with Ji Kang.

If the original aristocrats did not cooperate with the laws and regulations of the Yan State, Ji Kang would have some solutions, including a thorough physical solution, which was also in line with the interests of the emerging vested interests of the Yan State, and they were also happy and supported Ji Kang to do this.

But for emerging vested interests, this is definitely not the case. This is a very simple truth.

The only difference is that the previous noble family and Ji Kang were naturally hostile, and this new group of vested interests could be guided by Ji Kang.

In terms of land, Yan State has issued laws to prohibit private land purchase and sale, and also limit the amount of land for newly emerging aristocrats, striving to eliminate the problem of "the rich want to be rich, and the poor want to be poor."

But it is clear that people have different horizons and even connections, that is, when land is equal, those who should be rich are still very prosperous very quickly.

For example, Ju Xin, Su Fu and other few of them were poor. They obtained very little wealth on the land, so they turned to doing business and establish industries, which instead resulted in more wealth on the land.

Ji Kang's only way is to increase commercial taxes in an incremental manner and limit the accumulation of wealth of emerging vested interests.

Even in Ji Kang's mind, he was wondering whether he would come up with the "Inheritance Law" in the future.

However, Ji Kang also knew that many of his ideas must be delivered at the right time in the future.

The biggest and most urgent problem in Yan State is not in these aspects.

In Yan State, the amount of commercial tax collection far exceeds agricultural taxes and is increasing year by year. Many people have not thought about it so much, but Ji Kang knew that the Yan State's ability to reach this day has a lot to do with the development of industrialization.

It has been almost fifteen years since the beginning of Liao territory. Under Ji Kang's strong advocacy, the pace of industrialization of Yan State has been very stable. With the construction of coal, steel, cement, and even water conservancy, Yan State can be said to have initially completed the initial stage of industrialization.

This symbol is that the Yan State has produced mechanical tools such as lathes and other mechanical tools that use water conservancy as power.

Before coming to Handan, Ji Kang received a report from Qin Wuyang that a steam engine powered by coal had already developed a preliminary model at Jidu Industrial Research Institute.

Because of the war in Handan, Ji Kang had no time to watch it, so he had to wait until he returned to Ji Du this time before going forward.

If it is really like Qin Wuyang said that the model made by this small steam engine can run on the rails, then it is certain that Yan State has entered the door of industrialization.

In Ji Kang's previous life, this is how the development of industrialization came about, and its mark was the emergence of steam engines.

A European "Suer" island country led to the development of industrialization of the entire country with the emergence of steam engines, and finally became the "Empire of the Sun" in one fell swoop.

It was this empire that only used more than 10,000 troops to send troops open the door to China and open the prelude to China's cede land and pay compensation by the Eastern and Western powers. It was when Ji Kang came to this world that his remaining "legacy" existed on the land of China and had not been completely eliminated.

When Ji Kang came to this era, he discovered that in this era of "a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend", people were not bound by thousands of years of Confucianism, and they were easily accepted by various advanced ideas, even higher than Ji Kang's previous life.

This is true for philosophy, medicine, and in all other aspects.

Now, the philosophical thoughts of the relationship between productivity and production have appeared in the textbooks of Yanguo College. The description that productivity is a tool of production and science is the primary productive force has also been widely accepted by students from various Yanguo colleges.

Productivity determines the relationship of production, but Ji Kang remembers one thing firmly that the reaction of production relations on productivity is also huge. When productivity and production relations are not coordinated, society will inevitably have great turmoil, and even experience blood and fire.

Ji Kang only hopes that China will be more stable in this era, through its own efforts and actions, through its own efforts and actions, and avoid the continuous rise and fall of feudal dynasties in the previous life.

Obviously, the position you are in this era can change this era, and it can even be said to be the one that controls this era, but the premise is that China must be unified.

In Ji Kang's mind, there are many ideas, but they are not suitable for it at present. On the contrary, at this time, he requires himself to concentrate all rights of Yan State and not to carry out any decentralization.
