After Yanjing led his men to leave, the whole city seemed a little lonely and empty. Even after the Song people entered Yanjing, although the city of Yanjing was no different from the time after some comfort, it could still be felt that Yanjing City was like a walking corpse, and always felt that it lacked a spirit, giving people a feeling of being weak.

When Ye Qing returned to Yanjing, even Yelu Yue could feel that the Yanjing city, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, seemed to be injected with new vitality, and suddenly seemed to be alive.

Liu Keshi was also deeply touched by this. When he arrived in Yanjing for some comfort and dispatch, although the whole people's hearts had stabilized, he always felt that the capital of the Jin Kingdom seemed to have taken away the soul of the entire Yanjing city after the Jin people evacuated, making this Yanjing city like an old man in his twilight years.

Although Ye Qing's struggle when he returned to Yanjing did not make any substantial moves, the overall feeling was as if the vitality was injected into the city again.

Even though Ye Qing has thrown himself into the broken camp for more than half a month and has not come out, whether it is Liu Ke or Yelu Yue, he can still feel that the entire Yanjing City is a little different from usual.

What made the two even more excited was that Yelu Chucai, the surrendered minister of the Jin Dynasty, and two pacifiers from Hedong South Road, Tian Li and Wang Rujia, suddenly arrived in Yanjing from Hedong South Road and Taiyuan Prefecture.

Because the three of them returned to Yanjing, Ye Qing, who had been locked in the broken camp for nearly twenty days, was finally able to see the light of day again. At this time, there would be loud noises in the broken camp behind him almost every day, and there would be some cheering sounds of people mixed in.

Ye Qing, who was less windy and sunless in the break camp, seemed to be much whiter than before entering, but because of her unshaven beard and her red eyes, she still gave people a sloppy and quite nervous feeling.

Whether it was Yelu Chucai, Tian Li, or Wang Rujia, before coming to Yanjing, they knew that Ye Qing was now the King of Yan, so when they saw Ye Qing, they looked more respectful of their attitude than in the past.

When Liu Keshi arrived, Ye Qing had already led Yelu Chucai and the other two to wait for him in the large conference hall of the mansion.

There is no yamen office in Yanjing Prefecture, and the current temporary yamen office is placed in the mansion of Qi Shilie Gods Slave in Yanjing at the time, but Ye Qing was obviously not interested in that place, not to mention that his goal was to turn Wanning Palace into the yamen office in Yanjing. So before negotiating with the Lin'an court and agreeing, many officials in Yanjing were like lonely ghosts, and could be used as yamen offices at any time if they had a place.

In addition to the wealthy nobles of the Jin Kingdom, there are quite a few mansions left by royal officials when they evacuated. Now, for officials in Yanjing, they cannot even use them all, and there are also quite a few idle mansions.

After watching Master Liu Ke come in quickly, Ye Qing first reached out and signaled Master Liu Ke not to be too polite, so he casually introduced Tian Li, Wang Rujia and Yelu Chucai to Master Liu Ke, and then got up and walked to the black cloth hanging on the wall behind him, and pulled down the black cloth cleanly.

Everyone saw the true appearance under the black cloth, a map from Yangzhou to Yanjing, covering Huainan Road, Shandong Road and Hebei East Road. On the map, the most obvious one is a black line marked with a river, connecting the between Yanjing and Yangzhou.

distance.

Master Liu Ke looked confused, not knowing that Ye Qing summoned him to come over quickly and showed himself what this map meant.

Yelu Chucai also looked confused, not knowing what mysterious Ye Qing was going to do.

The difference between the two was Tian Li and Wang Rujia. At first, the two of them looked confused. They didn't know what Ye Qing meant to let them see this map. However, when the two looked at the standard black line of the river on Shandong Road, their expressions seemed a little surprised. When they looked at the whole line again, they began to become a little shocked. They stood up unconsciously, pointed to the black line on the map, and asked Ye Qing: "This is... This is the transformation that the King of Yan had proposed and the new river that was dug out when the King of Yan was in charge of the King of Shandong Road. "

Wang Rujia still stared at the black line on the map and said solemnly: "Yes, it was the new river that King Yan suggested that we two be transformed and dig. So what King Yan meant was…?"

"Yes, what I mean is what you think now." Ye Qing patted the map on the wall, and then said with a smile: "When Emperor Huizong built the Genyue Garden, he relied on the canal to transport a large number of exquisite stones to Kaifeng. It is precisely because of the existence of this canal that Luoyang, Kaifeng can not only transport stones, but also food, goods, etc. So if you were asked to dig a new river to Yanjing, I don't know... could there be a feasible way?"

Wang Rujia and Tian Li looked at each other, and they could see the shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

The two were officials of the Jin Dynasty. Before Ye Qing borrowed them to control the water, they suggested that the Jin Dynasty court dig a river channel connecting Yanjing to Huainan Road. In this way, it would be able to make the distance between Yanjing and the Southern Song Dynasty court closer. In the future, whether it was to use troops or transport grain, transporting goods would be much more convenient than taking land.

But Jinting never had this ambition to create the world. In addition, Kaifeng and Luoyang's rivers are unobstructed. Although it is inconvenient to take the waterway, Jinting was willing to be content with the status quo and did not think that digging the rivers was beneficial to the court. Instead, they believed that the suggestion of the two was a waste of money and was really unsuccessful.

When the two were borrowed by Ye Qing to control the water, they would receive Ye Qing's suggestions on river management from time to time. Although they were different from the suggestions they had in some places, when they were clearing the channels and digging new rivers, they could still vaguely feel that Ye Qing could see at a glance that it was a waste of time, and even a waste of money and digging the river, there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden behind the digging of the river that was exhausted and costly.

But the two of them didn't think much at that time, and even if they thought too much, they didn't have the courage to think about it. Ye Qing's purpose was to build a canal connecting the north and south after conquering Yanjing one day.

Now, looking back at the rivers they dug when they were controlling water on Shandong Road, we can almost clearly see that the direction and key points of these rivers are all prepared in advance to connect to Yanjing one day.

Ye Qing looked at the two of them suddenly realize the idea, and the originally easy-going and iconic smile on his face gradually became proud. Now it seems that no one expected that he would save money and make great efforts to control water many years ago. In addition to controlling water, his real purpose was to enable Yanjing to connect with Yangzhou's waterways one day in the future!

"How about it, is there any good way?" Ye Qing looked at Tian Li and Wang Rujia, with a little dazed look on his face.

The smile became more and more proud at this moment.

"If it is King Yan..." Wang Rujia kept staring at the map, sometimes shaking his head and sighing, and then said firmly: "The Xiaguan admires the King of Yan's foresight, which is really hard for us to reach! If the King of Yan believes in the Xiaguan, the Xiaguan and the Xiaguan here assure the King of Yan that in three to five years, the Xiaguan will guarantee..."

"For three years at most, I want to let the commercial goods in Yanjing City go directly to Yangzhou from the waterway." Ye Qing's tone was also firm, and continued: "Shandong Road and Huainan Road have been connected, while Hebei East Road can also borrow the old canal river channel. What really needs to be dug is to reach Yanjing. So in three years, I will give me a river channel full of gold and silver ships at a glance, which can be done?"

Ye Qing did this, in addition to making Yanjing closer to the Jiangnan area, he naturally considered Miss Yan, who was about to come to Yanjing.

Miss Yan was by no means simply "settling" in Yanjing with her son and daughter. The focus of almost all business in Yangzhou will be transferred to Yanjing because of this. Therefore, the digging of this canal, whether for public or private, must be dug and built in the shortest time.

Master Liu Ke was so impressed by Ye Qing. Only now did he understand what Ye Qing wanted to call Tian Li and Wang Rujia back. What he didn't expect was that Ye Qing, who was also the pacifier of Huainan East Road, had actually started to prepare for today's various things.

Following this idea, Master Liu Ke unconsciously felt a chilling feeling. Many years ago, Ye Qing had been making unknown plans for today's things. So how many years will Ye Qing put his real thoughts into the future? Or will he only wait until that day comes to know what Ye Qing's real purpose in digging the canal today!

Yelu Chucai, who had never spoken, had a very gloomy face at this time. Ye Qing's cunning was deep. He had already experienced it when he was in Jinan Prefecture. But even so, during his time in Jinan Prefecture, he never thought that the river where Ye Qing visited from time to time still had such a sinister purpose hidden!

At first, when he followed Ye Qing to look at the rivers, he thought Ye Qing was showing him the contribution of controlling the water and saving the people. He never thought about it. In fact, the reason why Ye Qing inspected the rivers was entirely to prepare for how to dig and connect the canal after conquering Yanjing!

Ye Qing pretended not to see Yelu Chucai's gloomy face. Even now, Yelu Chucai, who is proud of his talent, has not really surrendered to Ye Qing. Even though he is convinced, Yelu Chucai still retains a trace of expectations for the Jin Kingdom in his heart.

Ignoring Yelu Chucai, who looked deep, Ye Qing turned to Liu Keshi and looked at Tian Li and Wang Rujia, who walked to the map with excitement, were originally experts in water control and canal construction, so he naturally knew what this would mean for Ye Qing and even the entire northern region after digging the canal connecting Yanjing to Yangzhou.

The two of them were already talking in front of the map. Ye Qing even felt a little puzzled sometimes, and Master Liu Ke had already looked question marks and couldn't figure out what the two were talking to Ye Qing.
