The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"What's the bet?"

"If you lose, you have to promise me one condition. I am going to plan a waterway canal connecting Yan, Zhao, and Chu, and I need your cooperation."

"what?"

Murong Zhao frowned, he never thought that Wang Kang would raise such a condition...

"The specific plan has not yet been determined. In short, I guarantee that it will be beneficial to Yan."

"You're thinking long-term?"

Murong Zhao looked at Wang Kang in surprise, he entered the role so quickly...

"That's natural."

During this period of time, Wang Kang has not been idle, he only regrets that there is not enough time every day...

Chu State is the largest country on the mainland, but it is actually a fairly closed country, with very few contacts and commerce with other countries.

Commerce is underdeveloped, and it is in a state of farming, which is a rather primitive social system.

But because of the enfeoffment system, the land resources are in the hands of a few people, and the wealth distribution is uneven, which leads to the poor economy of this country!

Reforming the land distribution system and developing the economy are the top priorities.

How to develop the economy quickly?

It is necessary to change the original closed state, strengthen commercial trade with neighboring countries, and communicate with the outside world...

History has proved that closing the country to the outside world is a dead end.

And on this premise, there needs to be a channel of communication.

Therefore, Wang Kang plans to build waterways and develop commerce, but it is only an intentional plan at present, and the development still needs to proceed according to the actual situation. Taking too many steps is not necessarily a good thing.

What's more, the premise of development is to have a peaceful and stable environment, which will take a certain amount of time...

The car was not driving fast, and Wang Kang and Murong Zhao were also chatting along the way.

Made a detailed communication about the current situation in the mainland and the future development direction of Chu State.

Murong Zhao is the emperor of Yan, with great ability, and can give Wang Kang a lot of useful advice in some aspects.

The conversation was not very happy, but it was more harmonious.

At least they are consistent on the issue of Chu, which also makes Wang Kang very curious.

In the face of Da Chu's attack, he was the one who formed the Four Nations Alliance at the beginning. Now that the war is victorious, he ascended the throne and became emperor. In the final analysis, he has taken the greatest advantage. Even if Murong Zhao is dissatisfied, it is normal.

But so far, he doesn't seem to be doing that.

"What do you think of me preparing to ascend the throne as emperor?"

Wang Kang still asked. He felt that it is better to put some things on the bright side.

"Do you want to ask me whether I am against it or support it?"

"Yes, I would like to know your opinion."

"Is my opinion useful?"

Murong Zhao said something very calmly.

"of course."

Wang Kang said, "You should know that I've always been a good talker."

"There is no satisfaction or dissatisfaction."

Murong Zhao said: "To be honest, you can completely destroy my country of Yan and bring it into your territory. This is the reality. The strong have more right to speak, and they can do whatever they want."

"For example, you are a special existence in Zhao State. If you are placed in Chu State, aren't you the biggest prince?"

Wang Kang didn't speak, because the fact is like this.

"However, I am also very moved. For so many years, you have not rebelled, and Emperor Zhao has not suppressed you. This is the most precious thing..."

Murong Zhao seemed to express his feelings.

"If you want to ask me what my attitude is, I am indeed a little uncomfortable, but so what? We paid such a high price and finally won the victory. Did it just end in such a muddle?"

"With the size of the Yan Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom can't eat up the huge Chu Kingdom at all. Your enthronement as the emperor will maximize the benefits and permanently eliminate this hidden danger. I think Zhao Huang thinks so too. ..."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Kang again, and said, "You should be relieved now, I can be so good, and you don't have to have too much trouble."

Wang Kang didn't speak, because Murong Zhao was right.

If his opposition is too fierce, then Wang Kang will have to take some measures, and even lead to confrontation, which he does not want to see.

Being in harmony is of course the best.

So he had to know Murong Zhao's attitude.

"But what I want to know more is what you think."

Murong Zhao said in a low voice: "How do you deal with the relationship between the new dynasty and Zhao and Yan in the future..."

"Actually, I asked you and Emperor Zhao to come here to discuss this matter, the division of interests after the war, and the future situation in the mainland."

"Your ambition is more than that."

Murong Zhao went on to say: "Your relationship with the Yue State is extraordinary, and you can even influence Yue Jun's decision-making. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to join the Four-Nation Alliance. First of all, there will be a big problem in terms of geography."

"At the same time, you are still the King of the Northern Prairie, with absolute control!"

"Recently, I also heard that Gao Yin, the eighth prince of Qi who died in the battle, is not dead. I also know that the friendship between you is irreversible. Now that Qi is in chaos, you should have plans to push him to the position of Qi Huang."

Murong Zhao said word by word: "In this way, although you have not officially established it, you can still influence these countries. At critical times, you can mobilize quite a lot of resources, just like the formation of the Four-Nation Alliance this time, and you Occupy the Great Chu again, your power will reach its peak, and what you want is the world!"

After this analysis, Wang Kang couldn't help feeling that he deserved to be Emperor Yan, and his vision was extraordinary.

"Are you panicking?"

"of course."

Murong Zhao said directly: "In the sphere of influence you have divided, there are only two gaps, and they are Yanzhao."

"So, I have to know your attitude."
