When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Tianjin.

Xin Qu frowned slightly as he looked at the frosty Haihe River: "It looks like this winter will be a little colder."

"Indeed." Ah Qi looked at the Haihe River behind him, then pointed downward and said, "The first phase of the project is basically finished. When do you plan to start the second phase?"

"Well... have people dig a reservoir in the Zunhua area." Xin Qu said, "Remember, transport all the fertile soil on the surface to Daxing, and then transport the rest of the soil to Huludao. Huludao should be transported as soon as possible.

We should speed up the process of connecting Huludao with the mainland to facilitate its subsequent use as a forward station in western Liaoning."

"Okay." Qi wrote it down.

Ever since Xin Qu returned from the northeast, he has been patrolling everywhere in Youzhou.

Urge the implementation of government affairs in various places.

It can only be said that he has very high requirements for efficiency, so much so that many people have been very busy recently and are complaining a lot.

After writing this, Ah Qi saw that he was not thinking but looking at the canal, so he said, "Everyone has been on edge recently, you should also give everyone some slack."

Hearing this, Xin Qu looked over.

Qi continued, "In theory, each of your plans is for five years. But now, in just over three years, all your requirements have been met.

However, many of these things require long-term maintenance.

And the results may not be immediate.”

Ah Qi's words were to tell Xin Qu that everyone was very tired recently, whether they were the working people, the common people, or the senior executives.

Because of the early appearance of paper and printing technology, Xinqu did a lot of supporting work.

The industrial system, which was not complex to begin with, has now absorbed a large population.

So I wish I could break a person into two halves.

If it were not for the advancement of iron tools and agricultural technology, and the fact that the surrounding land was barren and could be reclaimed at will, the State of Yan might have collapsed due to the high-intensity labor.

Xin Qu retracted his gaze, then looked towards the sea and said, "You are all very tired, and I am tired too. But sometimes, our existence is a disaster for the South.

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

The main channel of Haihe River has been dug, but it is not over yet.

The next section to be excavated is the main channel between Haihe River and Baiyangdian.

Only after we have dug up Baiyangdian can we be said to be completely connected with the Yellow River.

So, hold on for another three years.

Three years later, our canal will be able to accommodate large ships, and basically there will be no problems with follow-up.

Development is like this. We don’t have original accumulation, so we can only keep thinking of ways internally.”

Ah Qi sighed and said, "Alright, but I still think that if possible, you should quickly organize a sacrifice to help everyone relax."

“Yes, the River God of the Haihe River needs to be included in the list, and in each subsequent city, a City God will be added.

I will not treat unfairly those who have made contributions to the country."

Xin Qu nodded. He would not be denied the honor that he deserved.

The power of witchcraft was still there at this time, and all Xinqu could do was to guide it and reduce the impact of the witchcraft as much as possible.

End of today's observation.

Xin Qu came to a mansion in Tianjin City.

Laughter and joy can be heard inside the house.

He came in with a forced smile.

"Dad!" Two kids rushed out from behind the pillar and hugged his thighs, one on the left and one on the right.

His twin boy and girl.

Now I am old enough to run and jump.

I picked them up and held them in my arms. I saw that their faces were covered with dust and snot marks. To be honest, they looked like two gray-headed kids.

"Did you two fight again?" "No." The two kids shook their heads at the same time, but looked at each other and reached out to scratch each other.

These two little guys are two troublemakers. They have been making trouble ever since they were old enough to understand things.

"Okay, stop fighting and making trouble, or I'll throw you two to the ground." Xin Qu threatened. The two turned their heads away reluctantly and ignored each other.

"You guys." Xin Qu just found it funny.

Entering the backyard, Wu Xiaoye was cutting paper. "Are you back? Have you dealt with the matter at Haihe?"

"The acceptance is almost done. The main channel of the Haihe River has been dug. The next step is to connect the Haihe River with Baiyangdian. As long as we dig that part, the canal will be passable." Xin Qu explained and sat down holding the two children.

"Cutting paper? What are you going to write?"

"It's nothing, I just wrote a book on how to raise children." Wu Xiaoye explained, "I have raised these two children for a while, and I have also discovered that many of the previous methods of raising children are not necessarily correct.

Anyway, if it can be passed down, then pass it down."

"Okay." Xin Qu nodded and did not reject it.

After watching her write for a while and the meal being served in the hall, Xin Qu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Meng Yi?"

"Zhongxi has a fever. The child has been sick every now and then since he was born. He is really weak." Wu Xiaoye explained.

Zhongxi is the child of Xinqu and Mengyi, and is not even one year old.

I don’t know if it was because of the elderly mother or other reasons, but Zhongxi looked quite fat when he was born, but his weakness could still be clearly felt.

He caught a cold and had a fever every now and then, and almost died several times. Fortunately, Meng Yi took care of him day and night, otherwise Zhongxi might have died.

Xin Qu nodded and said, "Then I will go and prepare the meal for you, Bo Hai (eldest son) and Ning (eldest daughter) to eat."

"Okay." Wu Xiaoye did not refuse.

Xin Qu arranged for his eldest son and daughter to have dinner, and then he got up and left.

After turning around the corridor, we soon arrived at another courtyard.

As soon as you come in, you can smell the strong aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs.

The development of traditional Chinese medicine in the State of Yan was based on ancient prescriptions compiled by various medical assistants, mainly shamans with the surname Jiang.

As the power of Yan State expanded, Xin Qu spent a lot of money to let these witch doctors study medical theory and pharmacology, and gradually medicine developed.

In order to keep the child alive, Meng Yi also put a lot of thought into it.

As soon as he came in, Xin Qu saw Meng Yi who had finished drinking the Chinese medicine and looked at him with a frown.

"Here is some mulberry sugar." Xin Qu hurried over and took out a piece of black sugar that he had collected today from his pocket.

Meng Yi didn't act pretentiously. She took a bite. Although it was still very bitter and contained a lot of impurities, it did alleviate the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.

"In fact, if you feed your child after taking the medicine, it may not be possible for the child to absorb it..." Xin Qu said helplessly.

Meng Yi shook her head slightly, looking at the motionless baby lying on the bed beside her, and sighed: "Xi'er was weak since birth. You have also studied with those witch doctors. Newborns have weak livers. If they take medicine casually, toxins may accumulate in the liver, leading to premature death.

I act as an intermediary, and the child drinks my breast milk, so even if the medicine is weak, the child can accept it. "

Xin Qu stopped talking.

He had no idea what the effect would be. In this era when medical care was not well developed, even his family as a king could be attacked by illness at any time, and he was powerless to do anything.

After waiting for a while, the child woke up. Meng Yi picked him up, looked at him, and confirmed that he was hungry, so she started breastfeeding him.

After eating, the child grunted twice and fell into a deep sleep again.

"Okay, get up and eat something. I asked someone to prepare a stew for you. In addition to taking medicine, you also need to eat medicinal food to replenish your qi and blood, especially your qi and blood. Your face is much whiter than before."

Xin Qu felt a little distressed. He looked so haggard and didn't have the same dashing vigor as before at all.

"Yeah." Meng Yi didn't say much and followed him to eat.

After eating for a while, she said, "Have I told you about Huai?"

Xin Qu was eating pheasant wings stewed with red dates. He spat out the bones and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" (End of this chapter)
