Chapter 470: Dividing the Ditch (First Shift)
The land of Yan at this time is no less than the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, Korea is only a land of fragments and thousands of miles, Wei is only one or two thousand miles away, Zhao is only two thousand miles away, and Yan is only Liaodong in winter, Daijun and Shanggu in the west, Dahe in the south, and the source of the Luan River in the north.
A few days ago, he landed on the Jieshi Coast and went north along the Luanhe River, a thousand miles away, but there were two cities, and they were still two extremely deserted cities.
There are very few garrisons, two or three miles of the city, not so much a city, but a sentinel point, the beacon tower is erected, and the core place of the Yan Kingdom on the west side is always alert, feeling this, Zhou Qing and the three of them did not continue to go north, directly across the Luan River, into the land of Yuyang.
Compared with the right Beiping, the land of Yuyang is much more prosperous and noisy, after all, the core of Jicheng, one of the five capitals of Yan Kingdom, is next to Yuyang, all the way, the frequency of the city is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road.
"Yan has existed for 800 years, there are a total of five capitals, the same as the Qi country, separated and standing, each in charge of military and political power, the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital is Yandi, which is the first capital of Yan State."
Later, the ninth emperor of Yan was mediocre, and there was the invasion of Beidi Shanrong, and Yan moved its capital to Linyi. Soon after, when the princes of the Jiang family's Qi Huan Gong Jiuhe, respected the king, and helped the mountain invasion of the Yan State with the status of the overlord, the Duke of Yanzhuang went north to build the third capital, Jicheng. ”
"Inside, the Duke of Yanzhuang felt the great kindness of Duke Qi Huan, and personally sent Duke Qi Huan back to China, and even went out of the realm of Yan Kingdom, Duke Qi Huan felt this great gift, and then gave the territory he had walked through to Yan Kingdom!"
Zhou Li has clouds, and the princes send each other, not the Son of Heaven, so they do not leave the country. The Duke of Yanzhuang sent the Duke of Qi Huan out of Xinjiang as a prince, which was not in line with etiquette, or had the intention of respecting the Duke of Qi Huan, but the Duke of Qi Huan's approach was still quite benevolent.
With a wave of his hand, he divided the ditch and gave Yan two hundred miles of land directly to Yan Guo, and gave up these two hundred miles of land, Qi Huan Gong became more famous, and his income far exceeded this.
"If you get the land for nothing, Yan Guo will make it."
The three of them walked on the side of the bathing water, this is the second big river that runs through the territory of Yan country, Yuyang travels thousands of miles west, to Shanggu County, where the bitter cold is extreme, it is the place where Yan country guards the border, and does not stay.
Straight south along the bath water, eight hundred miles away, is where the Jicheng city is located in the upper capital of the Yan Kingdom, the more south, the more market towns and cities on both sides of the bath water, and the speed of the three of them gradually slowed down.
Listening to Uncle Shi's story about the Yan royal family, Xiaoling and Xiaoyi listened interestingly, Yanzhuang Gong got the power of Qi Huan Gong and expelled Shan Rong, not only expanding the territory to the east, but also getting the benefits of Qi Huan Gong, this deal can be.
"Qi Huan is the hegemon of the princes, and the king of virtue and politics is the king's way, and the Yan State is the fiefdom of the Zhaogong, and it is not bad to have this legacy, but it is a pity that the Spring and Autumn Period is getting late, Beidi is still strong, and he attacks the Yan State in the south, making the Yan State move its capital to Linyi again."
"The rebellion of the son, the king of Yan Zhao in Yishui next to the high cast Wuyang city, for the Yan country under the capital, the golden platform to attract great talent is in it, the same as the capital of Jicheng echoed in the distance, at that time, there was a general Qin Kai expedition to Liaoxi and Liaodong, and there to cast the city of Xiangping, thought to be the fifth capital!"
Yan has five capitals, and Qi also has five capitals, but the five capitals of Qi have seventy-two big cities to rely on, and within Yan State, it is far from reaching this standard.
Speaking of the five capitals of Yan Kingdom, now the most prosperous ones should be the upper capital Jicheng and the lower capital Wuyang City, and the other three capitals are gradually deserted, and they go south along the bath water, and the weather is faintly warm.
Maybe it's because the human figure is getting more and more blocked, maybe it's because it's close to the south of the sun, but even so, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi are still wearing thick leather robes, and these days, they are also familiar with such a strong body.
Stepping on the boots of the sheep robe, wearing the cotton hat that Zhou Qing manifested out of thin air with the power of the age, the head was firmly wrapped inside, leaving only a pair of bright big eyes, but unfortunately, as far as I know, cotton does not seem to have appeared in Zhuxia, or has appeared, and cannot be used.
"Uncle Shi, those divine grasses seem to be really difficult to buy, we have already passed six cities, but those shops are full of some very young divine grasses, which are far from what we got in Qi country."
Along the bath water south, along the way, Xiao Ling and the others are somewhat interested in all kinds of specialties in Yan's country, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, but if the most attractive one is the sacred grass.
The rest of the things can also be found in the rest of the countries of Zhuxia can also be found better, but only the Divine Grass seems to exist only in the Yan Kingdom, and according to the inquiry, there are indeed hundreds of years of Divine Grass in those shops.
It's a pity that they all just appeared, they were bought by the office nobles, and they won't flow out at all, and even if they flow out, they are not famous, and they are not known to outsiders.
For people who build a foundation and refine qi, it may have some effect, but for the innate or even higher, it's just to make tea and drink it, thinking back to what he had encountered in those shops for half a month, Xiao Ling sighed a little.
"The Divine Grass is a thing that is mostly in the royal family and the scholar family, but the higher the age of the Divine Grass, the more ordinary people can't take it more, so they just collect it for us."
"It's a pity that these things are treasured in the secret room, a month ago, when I left Linzi, I instructed Mr. Dun Weak, in the name of Qin State, to ask Yan Guo for some special things, in order to combine the good of the two countries, I think Yan Wangxi will not disappoint us."
It is naturally very difficult for a person's strength to find the things of the Divine Grass, but with the strength of King Yan, it is estimated that the income will exceed his expectations, and the other things collected by King Yan will be sent to Xianyang, but it is okay to keep part of the Divine Grass by himself.
It's a pity that I am not proficient in the way of eating, the ancient secrets, there are three ways of Taoism, one is alchemy, one is the art of room art, one is the art of taking food, and all three of them are the supreme ones.
The art of taking food can not only take the essence of heaven and earth, but also turn the essence of heaven and earth into a more wonderful place.
And Yun Zhongjun in the Yin and Yang family is proficient in the method of taking food, and can even refine things such as the Feather Transformation Pill that have miraculous effects on the top martial artists of the gods, and wants to inherit the innocence.
It day, there is a chance to be a glance.
"Uncle Shi, does this move count as using power for personal gain?"
The follower Uncle has been by his side for so long, so he naturally knows Uncle Shi's style of acting, he is not bound to ordinary courtesies, he is favored by the King of Qin, and he has the position of a feudal monarch, and he walks the countries and is honored.
However, this move is somewhat contrary to the rule of law in the Qin State, and there is no guarantee that anyone in the Qin court will say anything.
"How can it be considered to use power for personal gain?"
"It's the so-called, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there is no migration, as the heir of Tianzong, I lead a high position and enter the center, but I rarely pay attention to the things of the center, those people should thank me."
"All things in heaven and earth, yin and yang are born together, pure yang does not exist, pure yin does not appear, the way of cultivation and the way of governing the country are connected, otherwise, the ancestor would not have said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh."
Counting the many leaders and political talents since the filial piety of the Qin State, if you want to go long-term and stable, you must be proficient in this way, Shang Jun is not selfish, filial piety is dead, and Shang Jun is dead.
Zhang Yi Xiang Qin, Hui Wen first king, his people are vertical and horizontal, even if they offended the six countries of Shandong, but in their later years, they returned to Wei safely, and the rest of their lives were not visible...... And so on.
"Uncle Shi's wonderful words."
Xiao Ling bowed his head, although his uncle was not much older than him and his sister, but his words and deeds seemed to be more in line with the Dao than the head of Chisong, no wonder he could reach enlightenment at such an age.
Hearing this, my heart felt something.
******
Jicheng!
From landing on the Jieshi Coast, to now after the wind and snow across half of the Yan country west of the right Beiping, it took more than a month, and now, finally to the upper capital of the Yan country, the core city of Jicheng!
Nearly 400 years ago, the Yan Kingdom destroyed the Ji Kingdom where the descendants of the Yellow Emperor were located, and then not long after, Yan Zhuang Gong built this capital, and Jicheng became one of the capital cities of Yan Kingdom, for hundreds of years, although there have been changes, but now, it has become the most prosperous city in the entire Yan Kingdom.
Nine miles long from north to south, seven miles long from east to west, although there is a transgression, but under the collapse of Lile, Jicheng is already the smallest of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, that is, the Yingdu that Chu has just built now, and the vast city surpasses Jicheng.
Imitate the Zhou Dynasty Luoyi and build, square and safe, open ten doors around the perimeter, lead the water of the bathing river, turn into the river of the moat, and the water rhyme flows inside the thistle city, and it is a cycle by itself.
Zhou Li down, the capital city is far away and corresponds to the Great Zhou Haojing, with the southwest corner is where the royal city is located, occupying one-sixth of the entire city, the east side is where the royal family and important ministers are located, and the corner of the north is the place where the big merchants gather.
The area in the north of the city, the northwest is the royal garden and the place to play, and the northeast is the common people and handicrafts, occupying nearly one-third of the entire Jicheng area.
Ten gates are opened, the flat and wide official road stretches, from the bath water down, from the west gate to enter, compared with the tall city gates of other Central Plains countries, Jicheng is not obvious, but the audience gathers, it is also bustling.
Dismounted, strolling into Jicheng, which lasted for a month, Yanguo's words were enlightened, and the spiritual sense spread, and the Jicheng City, which was not enveloped in an instant, was resisted by the momentum of the capital, but it was not a big problem.
However, compared to the weak Han Xinzheng, there seems to be a good warrior in Jicheng, although the Yan Kingdom is weak, but the merchants ignore those, each has its own team of chariots and horses, selling the specialties of the rest of the countries in Zhuxia, and loading the specialties of the Yan Kingdom.
The trip to and fro, get a lot of benefits, on the wide and orderly streets, when it is not worth it, the shops on both sides are still overcrowded, although the Yan country is far away from the Central Plains, but it seems that everything in the Central Plains can be seen here.
The Yunjin of Shu County, the beautiful jade of Qin, the bow and crossbow of Korea, the iron tools of Wei, the precious forests of Chu, and the pearl ...... of Qi are all these things, which are no worse than Shangshangfang in Xianyang.
