"To manage the Su Nei Historian Office, preparations need to be made in advance. The recovery after the war is related to the Qin Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains."
Zhao Shu had already said a lot, so naturally he would not hide it. He knew in his heart that the wealth of the Zhisu Neishi Official Office was related to whether Great Qin could quickly recover in the future.
Regardless of whether it is during the war or the end of the war, the importance of governing the Su Nei History Office to the Qin Dynasty is self-evident.
Economics is always a prerequisite for war. Moreover, after the war, the role of the economy is even greater. Whether a country is strong or not, wealth is often the biggest measure.
"Thank you for reminding me, sir. I have also thought about this, but the war is going on right now and I am unable to take it into consideration."
Zheng Guo also nodded. Regarding what Zhao Shu said, he also realized that it was just to manage the Su Nei History Office. Not only did it need to operate normally, but more than usual, it also needed to assist the Guowei Mansion Office in transporting grain.
As a result, the entire administrative office in Sui Nei was running wildly, and there was no spare manpower to focus on other matters.
........
After communicating with Zheng Guo until late at night, Zhao Shu just said goodbye and left.
He believed that in the future, especially when the Qin Dynasty expanded outwards, Zheng Guo would definitely turn into a war madman and become a die-hard supporter of the war.
Because war can bring money and food, war is a national action, and all proceeds, except for rewards for soldiers of the three armies, basically belong to the national treasury.
In a sense, war is the fastest and most effective way to replenish the national treasury.
Whether it is merchants or taxation, it takes a long time, and not all the income belongs to the court.
It's just that this fastest method is not applicable at all in the current Great Qin. The Great Qin's sword points at the six countries, only to conquer and occupy, not to plunder.
When a war changes from looting to occupation, the meaning changes. The most important thing is that looting will definitely make money, but it is difficult to say in the early stage of occupation.
Almost all war operations, once transformed into occupation, will basically lose money in the early stage and require the court to put money into it.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu only told half of the story in Zhangtai Palace before.
Because in the Central Plains, it is actually not advisable to support war with war. Once implemented, it means destroying the occupied areas.
Da Qin wanted to occupy, not plunder, and the wounds caused by the war required greater strength to recover.
........
After sending Zhao Shu away, Zheng Guo was filled with excitement. He did not seek fame or official position, he just wanted to do what he liked.
After all, Zheng Guoqu's incident was destined to leave his name forever.
And since he has a title and no shortage of money and food, he naturally has little interest in official positions.
After all, he is now one of the Nine Qing Qings of Great Qin, and has basically reached the top.
For a person like him who is not short of fame, prestige, and even money, there are very few things in this world that can make him impulsive.
There is only water conservancy.
The Qin court did not block the news of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, but publicized it widely. Black Ice Platform and Yin Gong took action at the same time, and the news swept the entire Central Plains.
Yan Dan has been paying attention to this matter, and he got the news as soon as possible.
"Teacher, Jing Ke was killed and the assassination failed. What should we do?" Yan Dan looked at Ju Wu with a flash of fear in his eyes.
He did not expect that Jing Ke, whom he had high hopes for, failed in the end, which made Yan Dan panic.
"Why!"
Ju Wu sighed, his old face full of bitterness: "Prince, prepare your army for war!"
"Jing Ke failed to kill the king, and our country, Yan, will surely bear the thundering wrath of King Qin!"
"Order the army to be on guard against the Qin army in Zhao. If the King of Qin becomes angry, they will be the vanguard to attack my country, Yan."
"good!"
At this moment, Yan Dan had no master of the six gods. Seeing that Ju Wu had made a decision, he couldn't help but nodded quickly.
This scene put a touch of desolation on Ju Wu's face. He had high hopes for Yan Dan before, but Yan Dan's reaction at this moment completely disappointed him.
A person who has no master in trouble is destined to fail to achieve great things.
"Heaven will destroy our country Yan!"
With a long sigh, Ju Wu packed up and walked towards King Yan's palace. Yan Dan was unreliable, so now he could only look to King Yan.
Half an hour later, Ju Wu arrived at the Palace of King Yan and saw King Yan on the couch: "Your Majesty, Ju Wu, pay my respects to the King."
"My dear, sit down!"
Looking at King Yan who looked relaxed, Ju Wu smiled bitterly, saluted King Yan, and said: "Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty and will never be redeemed by death!"
Hearing this, King Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ju Wu, his expression turned ugly: "Did the prince fail in what he did?"
Although King Xi of Yan was dim, he had been king for many years and had an extremely keen sense of politics. Ju Wu's appearance immediately alerted him.
"Um!"
Ju Wu gave a wry smile and smiled towards King Yan, saying: "Your Majesty, according to the news from our people, Jing Ke was killed and Qin Wuyang was captured."
"Qin Wangzheng is very angry. Thinking about it, the credentials have been submitted to the pedestrian office, and we are in big trouble."
"Jing Ke assassinated the king and gave the king of Qin the best excuse to govern!"
Hearing this, King Yan's face turned very ugly. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult for Yan to compete with Qin, which was why he supported Yan Dan's actions.
Except for the king of assassination, he could not see any hope of Yan State resisting Qin.
However, this subtle hope is gone. On the contrary, huge trouble will follow the Qin army.
At this moment, King Yan stared at Ju Wu with joy: "Prime Minister, what do you think our Yan country can do to survive this disaster?"
He didn't want to be the king of the country's subjugation.
He knew in his heart that once the Qin Dynasty destroyed Yan, his fate could be imagined. If he assassinated Qin Wangzheng, he would definitely suffer his fierce revenge.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered the troops from all over the country to be on guard. Once the Qin army sends troops, it will definitely be sent directly from Zhao."
"Currently, the Yishui frontline is under martial law. How the situation is now depends on the credentials."
"However, I believe that war is imminent, and our country, Yan, will prepare early."
After hearing Ju Wu's words, Yan Wangxi was silent for a long time, and then turned to Ju Wu and said, "Can we unite with Qi Chu?"
"It's useless. Neither Qi nor Chu will join forces with our country at this time." Ju Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The crime of assassinating the king, whoever dares to join forces will offend the Qin Dynasty to death."
"The current King of Qi and King of Chu do not have such courage."
Ju Wu's words made Yan Wangxi turn pale: "You trash, you can't even do this well, how can I hand over Yan country to him?"
"Old Prime Minister, immediately ordered the troops from all over the country to gather and deploy on the front line of Yishui and Dukang. They must block the Qin army's vanguard, so as to have a chance of survival."
