When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Before Dai Bingjia led his troops south, he came to see Xin Qu.

Xin Qu simply explained a few things.

Let him do whatever he wants. The interests of Yan State should always come first, and the population should be taken back as much as possible.

The State of Yan had no shortage of other things except population for land reclamation and construction.

Soon, Dai Bingjia transported a batch of grain to Daihou. The craftsmen of Yan State took people to explore the conditions of the mountain road and quickly started construction.

At this time, because there was not enough cement, the road was rammed, filled with gravel, leveled, and canals dug, and hardwood was buried in the ground if conditions allowed.

The function of hardwood is to act as a slide rail, reducing friction and allowing the car to move quickly.

This is also the technology developed by Yan State over the years.

However, hardwood will rot in about three to five years, and will then have to be replaced, which requires a lot of maintenance.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the currency to collect tolls to cover the maintenance costs.

Prince Yu soon learned about Yan State's road construction in Daiyi and quickly sent people to investigate.

When he found that the Yan State's road seemed to have crossed the border, he immediately wanted to arrange for someone to stop it, but was stopped by Gui Xuesheng beside him and said, "Prince, we can't stop here. There is still a war going on ahead. If we stop here, Yan State's food and grass support will basically end. If the Zhenxi Army's food and grass are cut off later, we will have to provide them.

If the king finds out that it was because Yan's grain was more than half consumed by the time it was transported to us due to poor road conditions, and this matter becomes a hot topic, I'm afraid there will be a rift between the two sides.

More importantly, our country also needs the road from Yan as a trade route. We can negotiate with Yan for the currency revenue within our territory, and we definitely cannot do without your help."

Wang Ziyou was frozen in his tracks. He stared at Gui Xuesheng for a while before saying, "So, you have already reached an agreement with the State of Yan?"

"Not really." Gui Xuesheng shook his head slightly, "I was just testing the attitude of Yan State. For Yan State, anyone can be the local king, but the premise is that it cannot harm the interests of the entire business alliance."

Prince Yoke understood.

It seems that the last time Gui Xuesheng and Qiong Hu went to Yan State was to negotiate the distribution of interests.

Business alliance?
This is indeed a good way, and I can't refuse it.

The business alliance of Yan State was of great benefit to the northern countries. Not only did it facilitate the frequent exchange of materials, but it also enabled them to obtain in-demand goods from all over the country.

Trades such as cattle, sheep, horses and pigs were all dominated by the State of Yan.

If I anger the State of Yan because of this, it would be more trouble than gain.

Seeing his expression ease, Gui Xuesheng continued, "From the perspective of Yan State, it is not important who controls the tolls. What is important is to maintain this section of the road and slowly make up for the loan for road construction.

The State of Yan lent money to the holders of banknotes, and it would cooperate with whoever gave it money to build roads.

Wang Ziyou, why don't you take the initiative to work hard and take on all this business.

If you hold the currency, you can hold the market. The resources collected and distributed in a market in a year are quite considerable. "

Wang Ziyou was not in a hurry to agree to his request. After Gui Xuesheng left, he called his confidants and the children of his mother's family to discuss the matter.

Finally, they couldn't resist the temptation and decided to invest money in this section of Yanmen Mountain Road. Several families shared the profits, and the road for Yan State was soon planned.

With people, money and customs established, Prince Yoke quickly expanded his camp and evolved towards a city.

If you stay here, you can't leave.

Gui Xuesheng sneered.

The last time he followed Qionghu to the State of Yan, he carefully learned about the history of urban expansion of the State of Yan. He immediately understood why the State of Yan was able to quickly roll out a county governance system, because Xinqu had a complete urban development routine.

And carefully designed the county development endowments.

Those who live near rivers grow crops and expand rivers to activate the markets in nearby places. Those who live near mountains mine minerals, and those who live near forests burn charcoal. Finally, they use business alliances to coordinate all markets.

All local feudal lords were participants in the Yan State market. Although they were subject to certain controls, it had to be admitted that Yan State's highly integrated system and relatively complete development plans had a strong impact on the wild tribes and states of that era.

In addition, the military merit system can quickly annex local high-level officials and incorporate them into the middle and upper levels of the country, and allow everyone to benefit as much as possible. As for those who oppose the State of Yan? There is basically only one outcome - destruction.

Development, enfeoffment, and promotion were the development processes of the local forces in the State of Yan.

The core of this process is to carry out stable production and life in a city.

As long as the position is determined, there is no escape from the unification of the Yan State.

Wang Ziyou, as long as he stays in Dai for a long time, he will definitely not choose to leave.

As long as she chooses to stay here, Wang Ziwu will be able to find a way to take the position of King of Earth.

More importantly, the Yao clan could also benefit from the Yan State's system.

The feudal system can bring more benefits than the current earthen state system.

Because of the stability and the rapid expansion of Yan State, everyone has a better future.

Gui Xuesheng and Wang Zihe stayed in Dai.

The war in the Shangdang Basin was also advancing.

The Tufang were already powerful, and now they had the food and grass support from the Yan State, as well as the help from Dai Bingjia. Tribes like the Youxu clan that were not wiped out last time could no longer withstand the attack.

Some people fled to Xingtai area, and some fled to Fengfu and found King Shang He who was seriously injured and had not recovered.

King He of Shang did not die.

At least he's not dead now.

But he was not having an easy time.

Because he had been in a coma for a period of time, the entire Yan Shang Dynasty was leaderless.

Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the Yan Shang Dynasty fell into a struggle for power and attacked each other.

The Rongdi tribes that were previously conquered have now become the targets of various nobles with inheritance rights.

Of course, he couldn't die before these nobles had decided the outcome with his brothers Zixun, Zilan and Zisong, so he lay there half-dead and starving.

Then the news came that the north was being flattened by the earthworks, and he was even more powerless to deal with it. He could only say to the people who came to see him: "Go find Zixun, he has a solution."

any solution?
The King of Shang knew very well in his heart that he had to win over the State of Yan and balance the situation.

The visitor seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "We also discovered that the State of Yan was involved in the campaign against the Youxu clan..."

King Shanghe closed his eyes after hearing this, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "The Yan State is participating in the crusade only to get population. If you want to redeem your people, Zixun can help you."

"Yes!" At this moment, the visitor had no idea what the future would hold.

Return to the tribe quickly.

That night, they crossed the Yellow River and quickly fled to the area of ​​Anyang in later generations.

Found Zisong who was stationed here.

I told them about Feng Fu's matter and King Shang He's health condition.

Still alive, but lying down.

As soon as the news came out, Zisong looked at an old man beside him and said, "You are too kind, there is Old Witch Xin."

The person called Old Witch Youxin was actually the Old Witch of the Youxin clan who had followed Zi Lian to the south.

But now, he is not with Zi Lian, but is controlled by Zi Song and brought to Anyang to guard against the nobles who control the King of Shang and the others. (End of this chapter)
