This year is a year of bumper harvest,

heavy grain piled up every farmer's barn in Bianjing.

Cui Youyu, the great Minister of Jin State, dredged the gap of the ancient canal which had been abandoned for a long time.

The gap starts from Xingyang to the north of Zhengzhou, passes through Zhengzhou, connects Tongji water of the Yellow River, passes through Bianjing, and then enters suishui.

The fertile river water irrigates the soil along the way and washes and dilutes the saline alkali land which is unfavorable for cultivation. So that countless "bad land" into fertile soil "good land".

Although the time is short, the effect is not particularly obvious.

But the farmers around Bianjing have enjoyed the harvest.

Merchant ships began to sail directly from Bianjing to Zhengzhou. From Xingyang to the Yellow River, or through Qinshui directly into the hinterland of Jin.

You can also go south to the rich song state via suishui, where you can transport beautiful silk and cheap grain.

Bianjing's docks are becoming more and more lively. The berthing ships and porters who come and go to carry goods form a busy scene.

There are more shops on the streets, displaying a variety of North and South fresh goods.

Not far from the dock is a military camp.

Several women and the elderly are wiping their tears, standing at the gate of the barracks, saying goodbye to their families who are going to fight.

A woman over 50 years old, holding her son's hand, weeping and weeping, finally biting her teeth, said: "no, don't go back."

Don't come back from the battlefield without a title.

Although she was very reluctant to give up her son.

However, their family fled from other places and went through hardships to move to Bianjing, but their husband died early on the way to escape.

There are four or five children waiting to be fed.

Although he was a native of Jin, it was not enough to make a living only by the 30 mu of farmland he had given away.

Now we can only count on the only adult son.

Only when he won the title and awarded the land on the battlefield could the family live on.

Her son comforted: "mother, don't worry. If you go here, you will be able to earn a superior title and come back. You and your sister will work harder and stay at home waiting for your child to come back."

The mother put the winter clothes in her arms into his hands and let go.

Next to this camp is a Geng Yi camp.

There is a lot of relaxed and active atmosphere here.

Most of them are young people in the camp. Their parents are stuffing food and winter clothes into their hands. They are talking about trifles.

The army is about to go out, but these young men are on a month's shift service, so they don't have to go out with the army.

Therefore, although the family is full of concern, it is not like the sadness next door.

According to the new law, every male who is over 15 years old and has settled in the state of Jin must take part in military service every year.

men do not have to travel far from home. They only need to serve in the prefectures and counties where they are registered.

At the moment, two young men from the same village are holding the clothes given by their parents and walking towards the barracks of gengye camp.

"Brother, you see, it's really busy there. There's so much crying." The younger man said to his fellow countryman.

The old man replied, "the army is going to fight. As soon as we are on the battlefield, who knows how many people can come back. It's really a parting of life and death. Naturally, we have to cry."

"A man is a man who has made great achievements. If he comes back with a few heads cut off in the battlefield and enjoys the title of nobility, the whole family will be honored. How magnificent! I hope I don't have to do this daily routine. I just want to be called up one day and fight in the battlefield with real weapons. "

"Don't underestimate Geng Jie. This is half a month's performance every year. It's the key to save your life in the future. The battlefield is not as simple as you think The older man looked at the barracks next door and comforted his young fellow countrymen.

"what he was most afraid of was that when a young man like you blundered to the battlefield, he would beat the drum and kill people everywhere. If he didn't enter the training camp, he would lose his life in an instant." He is older and has seen countless tragedies of going to the battlefield but never going back home. He is not so optimistic about the war. "Didn't you hear what the mayor preached in the village every day? This is to let our young men in the state of Jin get familiar with the training of corporal every year. Only when we really need to go to the battlefield can we have fewer dead people. "

Young man slightly Leng for a while, his heart of the newborn calf do not know fear, also seems to touch a little bit that is not far from their own battlefield smoke.

After the autumn harvest.

Mo Qiao Sheng, the chief of the state of Jin, led 30000 troops to invade the neighboring state of song.There are nine cities including Lankao, waihuang and Minquan.

All the way to Suiyang, the capital of the state of song.

Song Xianggong, the king of the state of song, was in a panic. With his imperial concubines and concubines, he moved the capital from Suiyang to Pengcheng, which was far away from Jin.

At the same time, he sent letters to the neighboring states of Wei and Lu for help.

The monarch of the state of Lu ignored it.

Yao Hong, the Duke of Wei Heng, was not ambiguous. He immediately sent General Yuan Wu and led tens of thousands of water division to go up along the Jishui River, intending to save the state of song by attacking Jin.

It is not that Yao Hong has much friendship with the state of song, but he has a clear view of the situation, and he can no longer tolerate the continued growth of Jin.

The position of Song state is sandwiched between Jin State and Wei state.

If the state of song is beaten down by Cheng Qianyu, the Marquis of Jin and Yue, then their defense will become the next obstacle on the road of Jin's power. Sooner or later, they will only be swept away.

The Wei Navy arrived at Huangchi, north of Bianjing.

There, Yu dunsu, the commander of the right commoner of the state of Jin who had been waiting for a long time, intercepted and defeated the guards.

Song Xianggong had no choice but to compromise, ceded land to compensate, and agreed to cede the delta area where Surabaya and Jishui meet to Jin State.

Ji'ang, the crown prince of the state of song, endured humiliation and came to the border.

Facing him was a man in a wheelchair.

In his eyes, Zhou Zixi, who should have been a useless man for a long time, now sits in the position of the envoy of the victorious nation and looks at him coldly.

He was forced to retreat step by step by this disabled former classmate. He handed over Dingtao, Caoxian, waihuang, Lankao and other cities to the state of Jin, and had to agree to a series of unequal trade treaties.

Ji'ang clenched her teeth and dropped her name on the humiliating contract.

He repressed his anger and stared at the person opposite, almost unable to control the shaking of his facial muscles.

Zhou Zixi calmly signed his own Junyi handwriting on the contract.

The crown prince of the Song Dynasty clenched his teeth and squeezed out a few words from his throat, "I really regret that I should have..."

Zhou Zixi was not moved. After signing, Wei raised his hand, and the bodyguard's entourage pushed his wheelchair to leave. When he passed Ji Ang's side, he dropped a word coldly.

"In the future, you are only afraid that you will regret more."

When Cheng Qianye received the success report, she was sitting in Princess Xu's palace, looking at a small white steamed bun, staggering in front of her to learn to walk.

When she received the military report from the front line, she opened it and couldn't help clapping her hands.

That small steamed stuffed bun was startled, small foot a slant fell on the ground to roll a circle.

Several palace maidservants rushed to help them,

"no help." Cheng Chiba points the military newspaper in his hand, "peng'er, come on, stand up by yourself."

Cheng Chiba said so, Xu Fei has reached into the air, double catkin took back, by the way stopped the maid around.

Xu Fei's son is the only son on Cheng Qianye's face.

Cheng Shan's name is Cheng Peng.

It's a long way to go.

In addition, it also shows Cheng Qianye's homesickness of being far away from his hometown.

This one year old boy inherits the advantages of his parents' appearance and is no longer the wrinkled appearance at birth.

At the moment, he was wearing a short jacket with red background and black edge, and his small mouth pouted on his white face. He wanted to cry but was a little afraid of the "father" he had just seen for a few days.

The wet eyes looked around,

my mother looked at him with smile and encouragement, but did not pick him up as usual.

The palace maidservants around all lowered their heads and didn't rush to coax him as usual.

The father, sitting in front of him, was luring himself to him with a bright orange stone on his finger.

"Come on, peng'er, get up by himself. As long as you come to me, this stone will be given to you to play with."

Since no one came to coax him, the little boy didn't think it was necessary to cry.

He climbed up his little body, bumped to the man who was said to be his father, and stretched out his fleshy little hand to reach the beautiful stone in his hand.

"Yes, isn't that great?" Cheng Qianye rubbed the head of the steamed stuffed bun and put the orange jade in his palm. "Boys are going to teach like this. Later, he fell down and let him get up by himself."

She bowed her head slightly and said, "what your husband said is very true. I will listen to you."

She is a woman who is as gentle as water. She has a beautiful face and gentle manner.

Getting along with her makes Cheng Chiba feel relaxed.

When the capital city was moved from Jiangcheng to Bianjing, Cheng Qianye wrote to her mother, Mrs. Yang Tai, dismissing her concubines from the Imperial Palace and only receiving her mother and son.

There are Yao Tianxiang and Xu Fei around the Jin Yue Hou, which can barely make sense. She didn't want to delay the lives of those young women too much.……

Mo Qiaosheng won a great victory in the front line and got a new land.

Zhou Zixi made the most of his achievements and signed a series of trade treaties with the rich song state, which were beneficial to Jin State.

Cui Youyu opened the canal and built a new city wall. Bianjing looks more and more prosperous day by day.

On this day,

the sun is soft and bright,

in Chaowu hall, Cheng Qianye is listening to Cui Youyu's report on the next plan of canal excavation.

"Lord, you see, there is an old river channel with a gap. Although it has been blocked, as long as it is dredged, rectified and rebuilt, the Bianjing River can be turned from Bianjing to the southeast and flow into Yingshui through Chencheng, and Yingshui will connect with huaishui. In this way, we will connect the Yellow River and Huaihe river systems. " Cui Youyu compared everything depicted on the drawing and said excitedly.

"At the same time, Danshui can become a branch of the chasm, flowing from Bianjing to Pengcheng, the capital of Song Dynasty, and then into Sishui. More Cen water also flows from the south of the chasm to the southeast tributary and flows into huaishui via Qi county. " He looked up at his Master excitedly, hoping that he could understand the meaning of this matter as well as himself.

Cheng Qianye was happy: "in this way, the Yellow River, Ji, Ru, Huai and Si water systems will be connected near Bianjing."

She could not help but construct a beautiful picture in her mind.

In the future, Bianjing's docks will be lined with large freighters from all over the world, and merchants from all over the world will gather here for trade.

As a transportation hub connecting the north and the south, Bianjing has become a prosperous business center metropolis.

At this time, Yu dunsu and Mo Qiao Sheng both entered.

Kneel down and salute in front of Cheng Chiba.

Cheng Chiba looks up at them with a smile, but there is a thump in his heart.

What happened?

Why are Xiao Mo and general Yu so full of grief and indignation.

Cheng Qianye felt a strong bad premonition in his heart.
