The new laws were quickly implemented under Qin's efficient administrative methods.
Schools in various places were expanded, and at the same time, Qin officials in various places began to collect statistics on the names of children who were qualified to enter the schools in their local villages.
The King of Qin ordered the governors and lieutenants of the newly established counties outside the customs to start counting the number of missing officials. After the statistics of all parties were completed, each department would determine a reasonable number, and then they could begin to recruit more students from the school to govern the hometown of the princes. , and cultivate more grammatical officials.
Compared with the rapid decision-making, issuance and implementation of this law.
Another piece of advice offered by Zhao Tuo about migrating princes, nobles and powerful people into Guanzhong, but no news came out, and Qin Wangzheng kept silent about it.
Zhao Tuo didn't care, because that strategy was to cooperate with the Qin army to destroy Qi, and the best effect would be if they were implemented together.
It is still too early to destroy Qi. If it is revealed too early, it will easily cause panic among the princes, nobles and powerful people in various places, and there may be some changes.
Zhao Tuo estimated that the King of Qin's government would only start implementing this matter when the overall situation of destroying Qi was decided, so there was no need to worry at all.
"Food flour, amending school laws, and proposing relocation strategies. When I came back this time, I made quite a stir and attracted a lot of people's attention. It's time to stop."
"Don't be the one who stands out. It's not worth arousing the jealousy of others. It's better to wait for the battle of annihilation to begin and build your army on the battlefield."
Zhao Tuo has demonstrated enough abilities to understand that going too far is not enough.
Since sending off Grand Sima Tian Chong, he has stayed in his mansion most of the time, occasionally inviting friends from Xianyang City such as Shejian, Lu Wan, Zhong Lizhen, etc. to gather together to discuss the art of war.
From time to time, he was invited by Xin Wu, Yang Xiong and others to visit him.
Tingwei Li Si also took the initiative to invite Zhao Tuo to a banquet at Li Mansion after a court meeting.
Li Si was an important minister of the Nine Qing Dynasties and the candidate for the future prime minister. Zhao Tuo naturally did not dare to neglect him. After tidying up his clothes, he went to the Li Mansion.
At this banquet, Li Si looked kindly to him, and the two of them chatted while eating, and they unconsciously talked about Li You.
"Yu'er is a man with a cold face and a warm heart. Although he doesn't say it outside, he often talks about your Zhao Jun's military skills and the strength of his troops in front of me, which makes him very impressed. He also once said that he If we use troops, we must follow your Zhao Jun's method."
Li Si sighed: "These words are not false. In the past, during the battle against Chu, when You'er was surrounded by the right commander of Chu State, he imitated your Zhao Jun's last-ditch battle at the first time. This shows that You'er admires Zhao Jun in his heart. .”
Li You secretly admired himself, so he imitated his own military tactics?
Zhao Tuo was startled. Thinking of Li You's last-ditch battle against the Chu army, it seemed possible.
Brother Li, Brother Li, I didn’t expect that you care about me, Zhao Tuo, so much in your heart even though you don’t say it on your face.
At this time, Li Si raised his glass of wine and toasted to Zhao Tuo: "Zhao Jun is a high-ranking noble at a young age. He is both skilled in military warfare and capable of governing the country. Not only did youer admire Zhao Jun, he also Even I admire you very much, come on, I will pay homage to Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly raised his glass and replied: "In the past, when Zhao Tuo entered Xianyang, he was favored by Duke Li. Later he entered the palace as a prince, and he also accepted Brother Li's kindness. Zhao Tuo also admired Brother Li's ability. This wine should be served by Zhao Tuo as a toast to Duke Li."
After the two exchanged pleasantries and toasted each other, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Now that Li You was mentioned, after Li Si put down his wine glass, he took advantage of the situation and asked: "This time, the king sent You'er to Nanjun to serve as a county lieutenant to avenge the Yi people who rebelled against our Qin State last year. Zhao Jun is our Qin's good general. I don't know. Can you teach me and my son how to fight against the barbarians?"
Zhao Tuo frowned. The method of using troops must formulate corresponding tactics according to the actual situation in order to achieve good results.
He, Zhao Tuo, didn't know anything about the Yi people Li You wanted to deal with. He didn't know anything about the terrain, military strength, climate, etc., so how could he tell any specific tactics.
But Li Si asked for advice, and he had to answer.
Zhao Tuo thought of his past experience in dealing with the Yue people in Kuaiji, and thought that the barbarians from the south had similar fighting methods.
Then he chose an unmistakable direction and spoke: "The Yi people have poor armor and are no match for our Qin army in battle. They are better at sneak attacks in mountains, forests and rivers. If Brother Li wants to fight with the Yi people, he should try his best to attack the heart. Lure the enemy out and annihilate them in the wilderness. Don't stray into the mountains and forests to play into the barbarians' plan. Don't easily enter the mountains and forests where the barbarians are!"
"Okay, what Mr. Zhao said is to use the strengths of our Qin army to attack the weaknesses of the Yi people. This is indeed a good method. The Yi people are in danger in the mountains and forests. I should write a letter and give instructions to You'er."
Li Si's face showed gratitude. His request for advice just now was indeed sincere.
Although he admired his son's masculine spirit of fighting against repeated defeats, Li Si was still a little worried about Li You's ability. Don't look at his bold words to encourage Li Youshi, which made Li You's blood boil with excitement.
But when his son really went south, Li Si was still worried.
Now he asked Zhao Tuo for tactics to deal with the Yi people, as well as the warning "Don't go into the mountains and forests". When he sent a message to Li You, he thought that this time the expedition against the Yi people in Nanjun would be no big deal.
A smile appeared on Li Si's face, and he raised his glass to toast Zhao Tuo again.
After drinking and drinking, the feast came to an end.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Tuo said goodbye.
Li Si smiled and sent him to the door.
Just when the two were about to say goodbye, Li Si suddenly spoke.
"Jun Zhao."
Zhao Tuo looked back, bowed and said, "Mr. Li."
Li Si said calmly: "Zhao Jun is young and promising. He not only has the talent to fight for the army and govern the country, but also has the trust of the king. From my perspective, after the world is settled, the king will definitely let Zhao Junshang Princess. Only Zhao Jun is like this. Only a young hero can be the king's son-in-law. I am here to congratulate Mr. Zhao in advance."
Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Gong Li's words are very serious. The king has arranged the matter of the princess. Zhao Tuo does not dare to speak nonsense."
Li Si shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Zhao Jun, please don't worry too much. I only have congratulations and no other intentions. Some external rumors are all false. Please don't take it to heart if Zhao Jun hears it. I, Mr. Li, I have always been willing to be friends with Mr. Zhao.”
"Zhao Tuo is also a friend of Duke Li."
Zhao Tuo replied politely, then said goodbye and left.
"Don't send it away, Mr. Li."
"Zhao Jun, go slow."
Li Si leaned at the door, watching the carriage Zhao Tuo was riding in slowly disappearing into the alleyway in the distance, with a complicated look on his face.
"Zhao Tuo... also has the talent to govern the country."
With a long sigh, he turned around and walked towards the house.
…
"Li Si mentioned the matter of Princess Shang when he was saying goodbye and congratulated me. It should be a hint that he will not hate me for taking the princess from Li You. He Li Si doesn't care about this and is willing to do it with me. friend."
"This time he invited me to the Li Mansion for a banquet, and even asked me about the conquest of the barbarians. This was regarded as Li Si showing goodwill."
Zhao Tuo recalled the situation during the day and felt a little at ease.
The matter of concubine Shang is considered to be a sure thing. But Zhao Tuo was still worried that his competition with Li You for the princess would arouse Li Si's resentment.
Li Si, that will be the pillar of Qin's political arena in the future, and the most trusted minister of the Qin King's government in the future. Zhao Tuo naturally does not want to offend.
Now I see that Li Si is kind and friendly, and hints to himself that he is willing to be friends.
Zhao Tuo was naturally happy. Although he was still a little wary, the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
However, Zhao Tuo's relaxation and comfort only lasted for one night.
Because the next day, he received a message.
The envoy on behalf of the country has entered Guanzhong.
And his next mission, Zhao Tuo, is to destroy his generation!
