When the Eastern Expedition Army led by Gongsun Xiu returned to Xiangping, the civil and military officials of Yan State, from Jia Fan, Yang Zuo, Bei Yan, and Liu Chuan all went out of the city to welcome each other. The scale was huge, and the people hugged each other and looked at each other on both sides of the road.

This expedition took almost two years, and there were less than two months left, and the tycoon's three years were about to end. Gongsun Xiu sighed and saw that the people of Xiangping along the way seemed to have a lot of young and strong children.

I think it is also in the past few years that the population of Yan State is small and young, and the elderly are old and weak. Although young people are like bamboo shoots bursting out of the ground after a rain, the elderly are like withered flowers and getting yellower. This is true in life.

Jia Fan quickly came up and said happily: "Master, you are finally back."

Gongsun Xiu had not seen this old minister for two years. He noticed that there were a few more white hairs on his temples. He felt a little more emotion in his heart and sighed, "I haven't seen him for two years. Mr. Jia worked hard for the Great Yan, busy and busy. He has become much haggard in the past two years."

Jia Fan laughed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. Since the king went to the expedition, the old minister has been a little tired, but when he thinks that the king went out to expedition, he has won one after another, annexed Goguryeo and expanded the border, and married Princess Fuyu. He was happy to win the prince. It can be said that he is three joys. Whenever the old minister thinks about it, he is overjoyed and forgets his worries and does not feel tired."

What Gongsun Xiu admired the most was this old minister who was dedicated to serving the people. He patted Jia Fan on the shoulder and the two expressed their feelings to each other. Hearing the four words "Happy Prince", he showed worries on his face and said with a forced smile: "Old Jia, I am not considering becoming a crown prince now."

Jia Fan was stunned: "Princess of Fuyu Kingdom, isn't the princess going to be made princess?"

"Of course I made him a concubine."

He chuckled and shook his head, "But no crown prince is established now."

Jia Fan was shocked and said, "The King, this is the way to cause disaster. The princess was born to the prince. Since he was the crown prince, he had not had a princess a few years ago. The old minister sighed lately, fearing that the government would be unstable. Now that he has a concubine and a eldest son, the prince does not consider a crown prince, but is afraid that people will change their minds."

Gongsun Xiu did not say anything, and took Jia Fan's arm back to the palace until the palace maids and guards were removed from the palace without a third person, so the two of them came down to have a close conversation.

Jia Fan was confused by him and said, "The king, the matter of establishing a crown prince is greater than the expansion of territory. This is the existence of the Great Yan. Please ask the king to decide."

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and said, "If Gu now establishes the crown prince and tells the world clearly, how many ministers in the court will secretly become princelings? If Gu establishes himself as emperor in the future, he will become princelings. Since ancient times, brothers have been slaughtered in history books, and we should find a way to end it."

Jia Fan said: "If there is a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate

Gongsun Xiu's expression remained unchanged and said, "I will not stage a rebellion for nine generations. When the crown prince is established, I will have a right to determine it. When all the sons are born, I will write an edict in two copies. One is hidden in the ancestral temple, and one is hidden in another. When the meditation is dying, or unfortunately die in the battlefield, the minister will take out the edict and announce the new king to inherit the throne."

Jia Fan was shocked by this amazing political move and sweated heavily on his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "If this is true, it may not be consistent with common sense. The princes were born one after another, and the king did not clearly disclose who the crown prince was. It can indeed prevent the sons from slaughtering each other, and the ministers could not form cliques for personal gain, and they would cause trouble for the court, so they were afraid--"

I dare not talk about the ones behind.

"I'm afraid that an inhuman son will appear, so I will kill all my brothers first and become the only heir, right?"

Gongsun Xiu shrugged and said.

Jia Fan smiled bitterly and said, "If you follow the secret crown, you do not establish a clear crown prince. After all, this requires a bowl of water from the king to ensure that you treat all the sons equally. If there is a difference in closeness and distantness, love, hate, anger, and disgust, the sons can also realize that they are not the most qualified crown prince in the king's mind."

No system in the world is perfect, there must be loopholes and negligence. If there is a one-time and for all, there will be no killing of blood and tears in the Twenty-Four Histories.

Gongsun Xiu sighed and said, "I don't say anything about brothers, brothers, respect, or something, but I can teach them not to kill each other, that's it."

Jia Fan could only make accusations about this matter, thinking that no matter whether it could stop brothers from fighting each other, it would not easily turn into a situation of forming cliques and making private interests. This is also a good policy.

In the following time, Gongsun Xiu dealt with a lot of government affairs, the most important of which was the placement of the Goguryeo people and the change of customs in all aspects, including the text, language, and customs, which must be based on the culture of the Central Plains.

Culture is mutual annexation in fusion, and finally becomes that you have me and I have you. Refining in the process of taking the essence and removing the dross is a process of independence. The collision of civilizations will inevitably produce fierce sparks, and a huge vortex in the intersection. The result is that backward ones are destined to be destroyed in the dust and advanced ones remain in the world.

In order to achieve the result of a major national change, political measures must be taken to achieve this quickly.

At present, the Goguryeo people have moved 60,000 people to the three most scarce counties of Lelang and Xuantu. The originally sparse Dingkou was suddenly full of its scattered mouths, and ordered the officials of prefectures and counties to be responsible for allocating various places, giving preferential treatment in policies, and giving land to help open up land. What is currently lacking in Liaodong is not land, but population. After all, the best black soil in Northeast China is at your feet.

The Yan State currently has 350,000 people under management rather than the powerful, which is visible data, plus the Goguryeo people have 650,000 people.

After statistics from various places and randomly checked Ding's classics, he was surprised to find that the number of men and women aged 17 to 30 accounts for 35% of the total population.

This proportion surprised him and asked: "Whether there are any differences in the county magistrates in various places? How come they have so many young and strong? If we really count this way, three and a half men and a half men and women in every ten people in Dayan are under the age of thirty."

In China in the 21st century, this data is more than 20%, and the population structure tends toward aging trend.

Is the vitality of the ancients so prosperous?

The proportion of young and strong people is so considerable.

Jia Fan didn't care and scratched his head and said, "This has always been like this, and he can survive over 60, and there are not many elderly people in various counties and counties."

He said, shaking his head and chanting: "At the age of thirty, at the age of thirty, at the age of forty, at the age of fifty, at the age of fifty, at the age of sixty, at the age of seventy, at the age of eighty, at the age of ninety, at the age of one hundred, at the age of one hundred. Life is already very short, so you should not waste it, so as not to regret your life in old age."
