After traveling through time, I married a male princess

Chapter 164 1 Friend

In May, after more than two months, half of the city wall was built and the roads in Fufeng City were basically paved with cement.

Because it was government funded, the city walls of other cities started construction a few days later than Fufeng City.

The road construction was not so smooth.

At the beginning, many people were indeed waiting and watching, which resulted in the donation being delayed.

Later, the construction of Fufeng City had already begun. They saw that the road was smooth and wide, which was indeed more convenient for travel, so the various families made large donations under the leadership of the officials.

With the noble families setting an example, the people also began to do their part according to their abilities.

Some donated several thousand taels, some several hundred taels, some dozens of taels, and some even a few taels, dozens of cents, or one cent.

The cohesion of the people in Yizhou reached an unprecedented level.

Although the progress of each city is not as fast as that of Floating Wind City, they are also being repaired.

The amount of money donated by the people, who donated it, how much was donated, how much was spent and where it was spent would be updated and posted at the entrance of the government office every day.

Achieved truly transparent management.

The people also felt relieved that at least the money they donated was not secretly put into someone's pocket.

Looking at the wide and bright avenues, they feel extremely satisfied and proud.

They have contributed to this road!

Yizhou is getting better and better, and they will get better and better too!

All the hard work now is for the benefit of future generations.

By July, the city walls of all cities in Yizhou were completed, the roads in Fuqiu County were also completed, and even the roads between cities were completed.

Other places were also repaired, but they only repaired the roads within the city, and did not repair the official roads between cities.

This is the fastest project in Qingli's history.

In previous years, it would take them several months just to repair the city wall, let alone repair it.

So while everyone was amazed, they were more impressed.

Because of Ye Yanxing's toughness, no one dared to be negligent.

When cement was first developed, Ye Yanxing also reported it to Ye Xingche.

But until now, there has been no movement from the imperial city.

Because Ye Xingche doesn't have more energy to care about this matter now. The war is approaching and the national treasury has been allocated to military expenses. Where is the extra money to build the city wall?

Not all places are as wealthy as Ye Yanxing and can use tax revenue to build walls!

But it’s not allowed in other places, but it’s allowed in Huaizhou!

Huaizhou is also extremely rich!

When Ye Yanxing reported the matter to Ye Xingche, he also sent a letter to Ye Beiting to inform him of the matter.

After receiving the news, Ye Beiting immediately sent people to study.

I guess Huaizhou is also carrying out road construction in full swing now.

Speaking of Ye Beiting, Ye Yanxing thought of Ye Yunqi.

According to the news from Ye Beiting, Ye Yunqi, at such a young age, has already started to hire a teacher to teach him.

He was not only good at literature, but also at martial arts.

And it was his own request. He studied very hard, getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs every day.

Ye Yanxing sighed, wouldn’t working so hard affect his height growth?

But it is understandable. Ye Yunqi is a precocious child with a blood feud on his shoulders. Now that he has the opportunity to grow, he would be letting himself down if he doesn't fight hard.

I hope he can live up to Ye Beiting's upbringing and cultivation in the future.

In August, Ye Zhao gathered his troops and went to the Beiliang Pass to meet the large group of troops from Beimo.

Ye Xingche immediately dispatched General Li to Yunhe City, which is the border with Beiliang. It is the only passage into Qingzhou. As long as they defend it, the area south of Yunhe City will be safe.

If it cannot be defended, Qingzhou will fall soon.

Yong'an City is no longer safe.

Because of the structure of Qingli Kingdom, four kings in the east, west, south and north guarded their own kingdoms, and Qingzhou was where the imperial city was located, surrounded by the four states in the middle.

The original intention was to protect, but it also reflects the supreme status of the imperial city.

But such a structure also has its drawbacks. Once someone plots a rebellion, Qingzhou in the middle will easily be surrounded.

However, it is impossible for all four kings to rebel at the same time. Human nature is the last thing one can afford to take risks with, but sometimes there is true love.

For example, it is absolutely impossible for Yizhou and Huaizhou to rebel now.

Jizhou is still to be determined. King Jing has not taken any action for such a long time, so it should be safe for the time being.

However, Ye Yanxing was still on guard against him trying to be the one taking advantage of the situation.

In late August, the Beimo army arrived at the Beiliang territory, and the two sides reunited.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this war?" After the city walls and roads were built, Fu Qianrun and Ye Yanxing finally had time to sit together and drink tea and chat.

"I guess Beiliang not only wants to take over Qingzhou, he also wants to conquer other states, and the entire Qingli will be under his rule." Ye Yanxing replied calmly.

"Ye Zhao has such great ambitions?" Fu Qianrun frowned.

"No, Ye Zhao doesn't, but Ye Jingwen does."

"Ye Jingwen?" Fu Qianrun was not familiar with this person. Ye Jingwen had been in Beiliang all year round and had never returned to the imperial city, so he had only heard of his name but had never seen him in person.

"Where does he get his confidence from?" Fu Qianrun was puzzled. One man against four? Are you sure you're not kidding?

"He won't fight all at once. He's betting that the other states won't join forces. Moreover, Beimo has given him great support. Ye Jingwen is a confident and arrogant person." Ye Yanxing commented.

"So it seems that the Prince of Beiliang is now the master of Beiliang? Is King Zhao willing to give up his power?"

"He refused. But he had no choice. He couldn't control Ye Jingwen."

Fu Qianrun was silent. "Then Your Majesty, do you think General Li can defend Yunhe City?"

"I don't know. I don't know General Li and I don't know how strong he is."

"I'm impatient."

"It's okay. Ye Xingche will tell us if we can't beat him. Now that he hasn't said anything, I think he can still handle it." Ye Yanxing comforted Fu Qianrun.

"Yeah." Fu Qianrun nodded, but he was still worried.

At this time, a servant came to report that someone at the door wanted to see Master Yan.

"Mr. Yan?" Fu Qianrun asked in confusion, then looked at Ye Yanxing.

Ye Yanxing was also stunned for a moment. He thought about it and felt that it should be Yunxiao.

"It should be a friend. Madam, would you like to go with me to take a look?" Ye Yanxing asked Fu Qianrun with a smile.

"Okay." Fu Qianrun nodded. It was the first time he heard Ye Yanxing use the word friend, which meant that he was not acquainted with him in his previous capacity as King Yan, but someone he made friends with later on.

He was very curious about who the person was whom Ye Yanxing could call a friend.

The two of them came to the gate of the palace side by side. Ye Yanxing saw the person at the door, and it was Yunxiao as he expected.

"Yunxiao." Ye Yanxing called him.

Yunxiao was not sure at first, until Ye Yanxing spoke, he confirmed that this person was the one he was looking for.
