"Don't you have any good ideas?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"We have recruited a lot of doctors and students from Handan College, but it is still not enough. As for the problem of wild beasts, my subordinates suggested sending an army to strangle them along the way. As for Rong Di, they usually appear alone or in a few people, and because they are alone , have no scruples, and run away after killing people, even a large army will have a hard time encircling and suppressing them." Yu Xin said.
They can handle other matters, but if you want to mobilize the army, you must go through Zhao Kuo, so he came to ask for instructions.
Zhao Kuo was a little silent. Zhao Guo let Rong Di's family be destroyed, and Rong Di would naturally retaliate against Zhao Guo at all costs.
For the Zhao State, the soldiers were heroes who fought hard for the country and expanded its territory, while for the Rong Di, they were bandits who trampled on their homeland and occupied their land.
This is exactly what we call his heroes and my thieves.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, it can only be said that the positions are different.
As the monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Kuo was destined to be unable to stand in the perspective of Rong Di and consider Rong Di.
If Zhao fails, the fate of the people of Zhao will not be any better than theirs. This is a life-and-death war.
"Let Meng Wu take Le Zhong and Feng Mu to choose a few young people to encircle and suppress the wild beasts, and get some experience by the way. As for the issue of officials and Rongdi, let Pang Nuan lead an army to escort along the way, plus the young and strong people among the people, it will be enough Self-protection. Military control will be implemented directly during the migration. Everything will be in accordance with the regulations of the army, which will solve the problem of insufficient officials. We will return to normal after the Loop." Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said.
There is no way to solve the problem of officials, and he cannot conjure so many people out of thin air. It is too late now to select people, so he can only start with the management system. Although military control will make people complain, it is only during the migration. After arriving in Hetao, Back to business as usual.
Just wait until spring and then transfer some officials from the college and various places.
However, the number that the college can draw is limited, mainly the priests and doctors from each branch, as well as a few noble children. These people have sufficient knowledge and culture in the past, and many of them have the talent of county guards.
As for the others, they are still far behind.
So far, Handan College has only been established for one year, and many students have just learned to read. If they want to steadily provide talents to Zhao State, they will have to wait at least two or three years.
"Martial control? This is a good idea." After hearing this, Yu Xin understood how to do it.
"It's only for a short period of time." Zhao Kuo waved and said, got up and walked outside, "By the way, is there enough food?"
"Qi State and Chu State have just transported a large amount of grain, and I have ordered it to be transported to Hetao. From the river to the sea, go north to Yishui, go west to Zijing Pass, and then transport it all the way to Yunzhong by land, along the Dahei River and River water is transported everywhere, and the losses are still within the tolerance." Chulong said.
In the past, roads were not built and waterways were not dredged. When transporting grain and grass from Handan to Hetao, more than two-thirds of the goods were damaged along the way. From three stones of grain and grass to Hetao, only one stone was left. If it were Wuyuan Shuofang, there might only be six or seven buckets of grain left. .
Nowadays, if we take the waterway, the roads have been built. Even if it is transported to Shuofang, the loss on the road is only 50%. If you transport two stones, you can get one stone, and you can eat one stone on the road. In ancient times, it was already very good.
In the end, the Qi State failed to resist the temptation. A few days after Wang Sunjia returned, he returned to the Zhao State with the Queen Mother Qi's will and signed a document with the Zhao State.
Although the Empress Dowager of Qi also doubted Zhao's purpose, no matter from any angle, she could not see any harm to Qi. Not only was there no harm, but it would also be of great benefit to Qi.
When Qi State's Quyu plows and waterwheels became popular and roads were built, there would be no problem in raising the national power to a higher level.
The only drawback is that it is a bit expensive, but it is understandable, after all, Zhao Guo wants to make money!
Being able to sell this important weapon of the country to Qi State, the Empress Dowager Qi's wariness towards Zhao Guo dropped by three points, and her favorability increased a lot. In addition, Hou Sheng, who had received a lot of money from Zhao Guo, kept saying good things to her side. , the Empress Dowager of Qi didn't think much, and drove out the envoys sent by Qin to invite Qi to fight against Zhao.
Like Qin, Zhao spent a lot of money on diplomacy. No matter whether the opponent was a loyal minister or a traitor, it was always right to spend money. Anyway, after destroying the opponent, the money came back.
If you can't destroy the opponent...then there's no point keeping money now, it's just helping the enemy save money.
Moreover, the State of Zhao is now richer than the State of Qin, and it is easier to spend money. Gold and silver treasures are constantly being sent away. The ministers of various countries who originally favored the State of Qin have gradually moved toward the State of Zhao, driven by money.
Zhao State does not need them to do anything, as long as all countries do not take action against Zhao State and allow Zhao State enough time to develop.
"That's good." Zhao Kuo nodded and looked at the sky all night. "It's getting late. If there is nothing else, you two can stay in the palace and have dinner before going back."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Neither Yu Xin nor Chu Long refused. The food cooked by the palace chefs was recognized as delicious, and they didn't eat it often, so they wouldn't miss it if they had the opportunity.
Several people walked towards the palace. Although Yu Xin and Chu Long came by car, Zhao Kuo did not take the car, so they could only follow behind.
As dusk falls, there are still many pedestrians on the road, and the restaurants on both sides are lit with lights. The curfew time in Handan has been postponed several times, and now it will not be curfewed until Haishi, that is, at 9 p.m.
If it weren't for the war years, Zhao Kuo even wanted to cancel the curfew, so that nightlife could really drive everyone's consumption.
Zhao Kuo had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and looked at a restaurant not far ahead in surprise.
It should be said that when people become rich, they will naturally pursue spiritual civilization, and there are actually storytellers in restaurants.
The family originated from barnyard officials, which can be traced back to the poetry collectors of the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty arranged for them to tour various places to collect folk songs to observe folk customs and political gains and losses, and then implement corresponding policies based on the feedback.
Later, the Zhou Dynasty ceased to exist in name only, and poetry collectors gradually disappeared, while Jiayi emerged in response. They mainly recorded folk street talk and represented the customs of the common people.
Among hundreds of schools of thought, although a family has its own sect, it is weak, not popular, and not valued by the world, and then gradually disappears.
Zhou Ye was also desperate. It happened that the restaurant owner invited him, so he agreed. However, the effect was surprisingly good. Although the words were all street talk heard from other places, everyone was very happy to hear it.
There are no entertainment activities at night these days. The only entertainment activity is making babies. Everyone has nothing to do at night and can only work hard to make babies. The body has long been unable to bear it.
Now that there are new entertainment projects, how can we let them go, and many people have never been out of Handan in their lives. Zhou Ye finds these things boring, but in their eyes they are very fresh and interesting.
In addition, Zhao Ren is a good drinker, so he must order a bottle of wine and two side dishes when listening to books. The restaurant's business is also booming, and even at night it is still full.
