Those soldiers were originally under the jurisdiction of local officials, and their parents, wives and children were all local. If they were not forced to the extreme, how could they risk offending the officials and report to the superiors? Whether they could succeed or not, these officials would have a chance in the future. Hundreds of ways to torture their family to death.
Although many people came forward, more people chose to swallow their anger.
After so many years, they have long been accustomed to it...
After Xunzi learned about it, he tore up the book he was writing in anger. This time he would never make the same mistake again.
The students of Handan College are in their prime, high-spirited, and dream of changing the world. They may become all kinds of people in the future, but at least now they have not been worn away by life. They are the boldest people in the world, and even King Zhao cannot Ask them to take a half step back.
"They have studied Confucianism so much that these people seem to have forgotten that I am also good at Legalism. Last time I killed a few people and the blood was all gone. This time I will uproot them." Xunzi's voice was extremely cold. , echoed back and forth in the hall, and everyone subconsciously tightened their clothes.
"Just kill the mastermind. We still need people to open up wasteland." Yu Xin advised.
Xunzi said nothing.
"This time Li Fu is not here. The issue of grain collection for the field soldiers and the transportation of grain to the Yan Kingdom are still the same as during the summer harvest. Lord Du Ping and Lord Ping Yang will be responsible. The process is still the same as before. It must be us. The people put the food into the hands of the people." Wei Wuji looked at Tian Dan and Zhao Bao.
"No." The two said, clasping fists.
"Lin Gong is still responsible for the immigration matters. Han Fei and Huang Shigong have just returned from the Hetao and should be relatively familiar with the Hetao, so they can help." Wei Wuji looked at Lin Xiangru, Han Fei, and Huang Shigong.
One of the three people is from a noble family, one is from a poor family, and the other is a commoner. Three different classes are jointly responsible for immigration, which can also make them feel something.
If there is a problem, Lin Xiangru can suppress it.
"No." The three of them looked at each other without any objection.
"Gong Xu will be responsible for the immigrants from Wei State." At this point, Wei Wuji's voice was hoarse. Without the ten-year jurisdiction of Honggou and the loss of 40,000 households, the gap between Wei State and Zhao State has become wider and wider. It's getting bigger.
"Okay." Xu Li nodded.
"Other things will continue as usual. If nothing happens, everyone can disperse." Wei Wuji waved his hand and said.
After hearing this, everyone left the palace in twos and threes, and Wei Wuji also returned to the mansion.
"Hey." Wei Wuji sighed deeply, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it all, his face full of bitterness.
"Master, what happened?" Hou Ying came over.
Wei Wuji told Hou Ying about the migration of 40,000 households from Wei to Zhao and Honggou.
Then he smiled bitterly: "Now the Zhao State is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, the Wei State will be annexed by the Zhao State sooner or later. I... I don't know whether I should continue to stay in the Zhao State."
Wei Wuji had long known that Zhao Kuo's goal was not to become the overlord of the world, but to unify the world. According to the current trend, Wei State would most likely be destroyed by Zhao State in the future.
Wei Wuji is not a heartless person. Even if he is in the Zhao Kingdom, he cannot completely abandon the Wei Kingdom that gave birth to him and raised him. He really couldn't imagine the scene where one day he would lead an army to Daliang.
However, Zhao Kuo appointed him as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao and entrusted him with handling national affairs. Wei Wuji emphasized that scholars should die for their confidants. Zhao Kuo treated him like this, and it was impossible for him to choose to betray.
Wei Wuji's heart was entangled and tormented. On the one hand, he was trusted and valued by Zhao Kuo, and on the other hand, he was born and raised by the motherland.
"May I ask my lord, if you return to Wei, can you reverse the current situation?" Hou Ying thought for a while and asked.
"If we can unite Qin and the other four countries, it is very likely that we can destroy Zhao." Wei Wuji hesitated and said.
Although the Zhao State is strong, it does not have the same favorable terrain as the Qin State. As long as all countries unite, even if the Zhao State cannot be destroyed, it can be completely destroyed like the five countries that conquered Qi.

"It seems that the Lord wants to be a hero of Qin." Hou Ying said with a smile.
"Why do you say that, sir?" Wei Wuji's face darkened. Even if he chose Zhao, he could not choose Qin.
"Although uniting the five countries can destroy Zhao, Wei will inevitably be destroyed by Qin in the future. For Wei, how can we reverse the situation? Isn't the Lord going to be a hero of Qin?" Hou Ying asked.
"You mean... my country, Wei, is hopeless!" Wei Wuji slumped on the couch, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, crystal tears falling from the corners of his eyes, and he no longer looked like his usual demeanor.
"Yes." Hou Ying said.
"Please teach me, sir." Wei Wuji's body suddenly bounced up, holding Hou Ying tightly with both hands, and said excitedly.
"My Lord becomes the King of Wei. Before his death, he can protect the Kingdom of Wei." A strange light shone in Hou Ying's eyes.
"No, what about other than that?" Wei Wuji said immediately.
"Kill King Zhao. The rise of the State of Zhao is all because of King Zhao. As long as King Zhao is killed, the strength of the State of Zhao will cease to exist." Hou Ying said in a deep voice.
"Bang." Wei Wuji kicked Hou Ying out and said angrily, "How dare you say such a thing? King Zhao has been kind to me. If anything unexpected happens, I will kill you."
"I am a minister of the Lord." Hou Ying got up from the ground, tidied his clothes, and said without humility.
"Apart from these two methods?" Wei Wuji looked at Hou Ying and slowly lowered his fist.
Hou Ying shook his head. Now the situation in the world is becoming more and more obvious. Before, Qin was the dominant family, but now Qin and Zhao are coexisting. But Hou Ying understood that this situation would not last long, and Qin would be left behind by Zhao.
Only when you are in Zhao State can you know how fast Zhao State is developing now.
As for the other five countries, their famous generals and elite soldiers combined cannot compare to any one of Qin and Zhao. Unless a miracle occurs, it is no longer qualified to compete with Qin and Zhao for supremacy.
"What if the Wei State reforms and moves all the things from Zhao State to Wei State." Wei Wuji suddenly raised his head, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"Not to mention that what is suitable for Zhao State may not be suitable for Wei State. Not to mention technical things like cement, paper, etc., there is no way. I would like to ask the Lord... who will change the law? The King of Wei? Or the Lord?" Hou Ying There was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.
If the King of Wei could trust Wei Wuji, he would not be able to come to Zhao.
"...Yes." Wei Wuji shook his head in despair, poured a full glass of wine again, and poured it into his stomach. The wine slipped from the corner of his mouth, looking a little embarrassed.
"Since the Lord can't change anything when he returns to Wei, why should he return to Wei?" Hou Ying asked rhetorically.
"The king's goal is not to become the overlord of the world, but to unify the world. Do you want me to help Zhao State to destroy Wei State?" Wei Wuji said helplessly. Like a drunkard, he no longer has the grace of the noble young master before.
He would do this only in front of Hou Ying, whom he trusted the most.
Hou Ying was silent. He knew Wei Wuji very well. With Wei Wuji's determination, when Zhao State destroyed Wei in the future, Wei Wuji would die for his country.
Hou Ying doesn't care whether Wei is destroyed or not, but he cares about Wei Wuji.
Zhao Kuo was kind to Wei Wuji, and Wei Wuji was equally kind to him.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
