In Yanmen, Kong Bin and Li Mu are still providing disaster relief.

The population of Yanmen is not very large, with less than 50,000 households. Even all the counties and cities combined cannot match the population of a city in Handan.

But these people are distributed in various places in Yanmen, some are on the plains, and some are in the mountains, and they have to walk a long way to reach them.

Li Mu could only mobilize the best soldiers in the army to deliver supplies to them.

There are also some villages with only a dozen or even less than ten households. They are isolated from the outside world all year round. Without anyone to guide them, outsiders can't find them. They don't even know whether they are dead or alive, so they have no choice but to give up.

Although Zhao Kuo wanted to be people-oriented, it was obviously not realistic in this era. He can only choose to save more people within a limited time.

Yunzhong County is even more sparsely populated. In some places, no one can be seen for hundreds of miles. However, because most of the people in Yunzhong live in tribal groups, and the rest basically live in the city, it is more convenient for disaster relief work. .

Of course, there must be fish that have slipped through the net, and there are even some barbarian tribes living in this land who are not convinced by Zhao Guo's education.

There are Hu people who are close to Zhao State, and there are Hu people who don't like Zhao State. They oppose Zhao State without knowing it, and they also do not accept Zhao State's jurisdiction. Of course, they are even less likely to be rescued by Zhao State.

Zhao Guo's method for determining whether to rescue the other party is very simple. If you have a household registration, you are a Zhaoguo person; if you don’t have a household registration, you are not a Zhaoguo person.

Since you are not from the Zhao country, it has nothing to do with me no matter how many times you die. After all, I, the Zhao country, am not a philanthropist. In this day and age, it would be nice not to add insult to injury.

On the road leading from Handan to Dai County, a long line of horse-drawn carriages was lined up to deliver supplies to northern Xinjiang.

This avenue connects the north and south of Zhao State, which greatly promotes the integration of the two civilizations of Zhao State.

A more accurate statement is the annexation of Zhuhu by the Central Plains civilization.

Because Zhu Hu had no civilization in the first place, not even writing. Where did the civilization come from? They were as pure as white paper, allowing Zhao Guo to scribble freely.

Deep down in their hearts, they yearn for the prosperity of the Central Plains, the culture, language, and characters of the Central Plains. It is even easier for Zhao to change them than to change the Yan people in Wuyang City.

As for herding or farming, it doesn't matter. Herding and farming are just different lifestyles. As long as you speak Zhao dialect, use Zhao characters, and talk about how Zhao is doing, that's enough.

This avenue is large enough to accommodate two six-horse carriages running parallel to each other, and it is only half-finished. When it is completed, it will be even wider.

There are flat dirt roads on both sides of the road, which is left for the widening of the road later. Because of the snow, the dirt roads are covered with mud, which is in sharp contrast to the cement road.

In fact, as early as October, before the road was built, Zhao State began to transport truckloads of supplies to northern Xinjiang.

Not because of the predicted snowstorm, but because we are preparing to attack the Xiongnu and recapture the Hetao next spring.

Zhuangzi once said, "Those who are suitable for the wilderness will have three meals, and their belly will still be full. Those who are suitable for a hundred miles will gather spring food. Those who are suitable for a thousand miles will gather food in the third month."

The same principle applies to leading troops in war. The larger the war, the longer it takes to prepare.

If you don't prepare before the war, it will be too late to prepare when the war begins.

The kind of people who rush forward with a roar as soon as their brains get hot are being attacked by others at the door of their house, and they have no time to prepare even if they want to.

Due to a strange combination of circumstances, these supplies played a great role in snow disaster relief. Even though it took several days to clear the roads, there was still no shortage of supplies in various places.

"Finally, we're done." Li Mu stretched out, squeezed his sore shoulders, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After more than half a month of hard work, all the affected people were finally resettled. Fortunately, the snowstorm was not particularly serious. In addition, Zhao State responded quickly and promptly. Except for the death of some livestock, the damage to the people was not serious. It was not even as many people in Zhao State froze to death in the severe winter last year.

Kong Bin glanced at Li Mu meaningfully, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Young man, you can't do it.

"Kong Qing rushed from Yanmen to Yunzhong, and then back to Yanmen. Aren't you tired?" Li Mu said speechlessly.

Half a month ago, Kong Bin drove his chariot from Daijun to Yanmen, taking Zhao Tang and Wang Ti away and imprisoning them. Three days later, he drove a chariot from Yanmen to Yunzhong to preside over disaster relief. He didn't rush back until two days ago, and he was still on the front line with Li Mu.

He only needs to be responsible for disaster relief in Yanmen, but Kong Bin needs Yanmen, Yunzhong and Daijun.

Moreover, he has a twenty-year-old body and a cultivation level in the Gang Yuan realm. He feels physically and mentally exhausted, almost more tired than fighting. Kong Bin is nearly fifty years old, and not only does his eyes not show any signs of fatigue, but he is even more energetic.

"Cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world, how can one be tired?" Kong Bin said.

"I used to hear that Confucian scholars were just talkers and had no real abilities. After meeting Kong Qing and Xunzi, I realized that Confucian disciples also have real abilities." Li Mu said with emotion.

This is not Li Mu's personal prejudice, but that most people in the world look down on Confucianism, especially the rulers, who are very disdainful of Confucianism, even though Confucianism is one of the three most prominent schools in the world.

Qin ruled the country by law and had Qin Mo, but there were no Confucians. Historically, it was not until the time of Qin Shihuang that the Qin State began to be unified. The Confucianists were forced to surrender and cling to Qin's thighs shamelessly.

Although the Six Kingdoms did not exclude Confucianism, they could not talk about re-employment. Qi Mo was prevalent in Qi State. Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi were all guests of the Qi throne, but no Qi king chose to re-employ them.

Historically, Xunzi was slandered and fled from the state of Qi to the state of Chu. Chun Shenjun only made him the magistrate of a county.

Kong Bin served as prime minister in Wei State, and he went home to farm soon.

Generally speaking, these great scholars from the pre-Qin period had a relatively miserable life.

"Those are just mediocre people who claim to be Confucian disciples after only superficial knowledge. They haven't even learned the six arts and can't even lift a sword. They are still worthy of being called Confucian disciples." Kong Bin raised the corners of his mouth and said with disdain.

After a while, Kong Bin looked a little lonely again.

Although Confucianism has a large number of people, there are constant internal factional struggles. And compared with Legalism and Mohism, it is indeed not reused by various countries.

Although Zhao Guo's Handan College has a Confucian branch, its emphasis is obviously lower than that of the Legalists and Mohists. It is just the Confucian scholars who rely on their own prestige to forcefully increase the number of disciples.

Although Zhao Kuo did not suppress Confucianism, he supported other schools.

For a moment, Kong Bin was a little confused about the future of Confucianism.
