"It's over, let's clean up the battlefield." Looking at the scene of killing in front of him, with the cries of women and children heard everywhere, Zhao Kuo said slowly. "Another force has disappeared in this world."
"Your Majesty, can't you bear it?" Li Fu came over.
Zhao Kuo shook his head. Two years ago, he would still feel unbearable, but now he has long been numb. "It's just a little emotional."
"The world is like this. The Mohists always think that there will never be war and that strong countries will not attack weak countries, but this is impossible. This world is about the jungle. If you don't destroy others while you are strong, then you will wait until others are strong. , will in turn destroy you, and the other party will never let you go because they are grateful for your kindness in not killing you back then." Huang Shigong said.
Like He Guanzi, although he is a Taoist, he does not advocate the implementation of the system of primitive society. Like Xunzi, they believe that the saints in primitive society are imaginary, fake, and no one has ever seen them.
They threw away the most naive aspects of Taoism and advocated 'the system of great harmony'. 'Attach importance to the rule of law to stabilize people's lives, select talents to strengthen management, implement all people as soldiers, and strive to be invincible in the world.
He Guanzi once said: "The land is divided and guarded, the people are divided and divided, the cold ones are clothed, the hungry are fed, the grievances are justified, and the tired are rested, this is what the sage expected." So Zhao Kuo roared at the beginning. Huang Shigong did not hesitate when he said: "I hope that everyone in the world can have enough food, warm clothing, a roof, medical treatment for illness, income from work, education when young, and a happy life when old..." The choice remains.
"Perhaps only when the world is unified, war can disappear." Cai Ze said.
"There is another world beyond this world. As long as people still have desires, the war will never stop. If people have no desires, then people are not far from destruction." Huang Shigong said.
"When he was in Jixia Academy, Zou Yan said the Great Nine Provinces Theory. Our Central Plains is just Chixian Shenzhou. Nine states as big as Chixian Shenzhou can be combined into one big state. Each state is surrounded by a sea. . There are nine such large states in total, surrounded by oceans. Zou Yan also said that there is 'unbreakable ice' in the Arctic." Lu Zhonglian said. "Although most of it is just nonsense from his imagination, some things still make some sense."
After defeating Qu Yan, everyone relaxed a lot and started chatting all over the place.
The soldiers in the distance also gathered together and moved in one direction, and even the war clouds in the sky moved.
"What are they doing?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Your Majesty, several generals said that they have discovered a herd of wild horses, so they are asking for your instructions if they can capture the horses." Meng Wu reported.
"Don't be in danger." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.
"Then the general is gone too." Meng Wu got on his horse excitedly and ran towards the distance. Qu Yan was gone, what danger could there be? These words are just Zhao Kuo's daily instructions.
Le Yi and Lian Po were also a little moved, but in the end they didn't lower their faces and joined the juniors in catching the horse.
"Let's go to the front and have a look." Zhao Kuo said, pointing to the towering Helan Mountain, which Yue Fei was determined to break through.
If I remember correctly, there is a huge coal mine in Helan Mountain, and it is an open-pit coal mine. Historically, it has been burning since the Qing Dynasty and has not been extinguished until modern times. I don’t know how much money is burned every day.
With the current level of Zhao State, just a little bit of mining can be enough for the entire country.
"Your Majesty, if this land can be fully cultivated, we can get 150,000 hectares of land." Li Fu said with a smile, pointing his finger back, then pulled it forward, pointing to Helan Mountain not far away, "If we can get it from the Yellow River, By leading a ditch all the way to the foot of Helan Mountain, the land between Helan Mountain and the Yellow River can be irrigated. Within five years, all these wastelands will be turned into fertile soil."
"It's just that this place is too far away from our State of Zhao, and there's a desert in between, so it's not easy to manage. It's also too close to the State of Qin, so only capable ministers and famous generals can't guard it." Lian Po said.
Even though Qin State looked down upon this piece of land, it was because Yiqu and Quyan had been blocking it before. Qin State had no chance to discover this fertile plain at the foot of Helan Mountain. But now that Yiqu and Quyan are gone, no one can guarantee whether this land can remain hidden.
As the saying goes, no one should be allowed to snore on the side of the couch. As long as Qin State discovers this land, it will never allow Zhao State to develop smoothly here and then attack him from behind.
At that time, King Zhao Wuling wanted to go south from Heshang to destroy Qin, and he even went to Xianyang to conduct an on-the-spot investigation. Although it did not come true in the end, after the death of King Zhao Wuling, the original plan was also exposed, which really shocked Qin. .
They were not afraid of King Wuling of Zhao destroying Qin. With Zhao's original national strength, it was almost impossible to do so. However, if Zhao did this, Qin would have to deploy heavy troops to guard the north, making it difficult for him to have the strength to go eastward.
Now it would be more convenient for Zhao State to sneak attack Qin State Xianyang from Helan Mountain than from the river.
Zhao Kuo looked to the southwest, where was the State of Qin. After a moment, he laughed and said: "If I lead an army of 50,000 to attack the State of Qin from here, I will definitely be able to attack all the way to Xianyang and shock the whole world. The State of Qin would never have thought of it. A Zhao army will appear in the rear, and it will be a legion of tens of thousands of people."
But he also said that doing so could only scare the Qin State, but would not have the chance to destroy the Qin State. When other countries see that Qin is in danger of being destroyed, they will definitely come to attack Zhao from the Six Kingdoms. For Zhao, the gains outweigh the losses.
"I feel that it is better not to expose this place until the critical moment. We should focus on development." Li Fu said.
"What Li Qing said is that I am planning to establish Helan County here. What do you think?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"In terms of territory, it is enough to establish counties and counties, but the population..." Li Fu said hesitantly, the size of the territory is secondary, and the most important thing is the population.

"Immigration." Zhao Kuo said.
"I wonder who the king plans to appoint as the county guard?" Cai Ze asked.
"What good options do you have?" Zhao Kuo looked at everyone.
"Wei Shun."
"Mao Gong."
"Xue Gong."
Several people named three different names.
"Mr. Mao." Zhao Kuo thought for a moment and said.
"Mr. Mao has a reputation as a virtuous person and can take on important responsibilities." Everyone said one after another.
"Let Le Jian serve as the county captain. With his ability, he is more than enough to serve as the county captain." Zhao Kuo said.
"General, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty." Le Jian said with his fists clasped.
After chatting all the way, Zhao Kuo finally saw the towering Helan Mountain. However, he did not like carving like Qin Shihuang, nor did he like Cao Cao's literary talent, who liked writing poems. He just wanted to find a coal mine, become a coal boss, and make a fortune.
