Zhao Xing's memory is very poor, and after ordering Zhao Hu, he forgot about it. But the mood that had been inexplicably irritable until last night suddenly got better, so he walked and chatted with a relaxed face.

"Actually, we don't have to build our own chariots to offend Fei, and we don't need to spend so much money on chariots, which are too expensive."

"But the head of the family, we have a thousand war horses, and we need to arm the family to protect ourselves. At the same time, the monarch and the national war, according to the regulations, you, as a feudal monarch, must also respond to the draft, and it is not possible to do without a chariot. Han Ce's sincere suggestion.

"The family armament is the root of the chaos in the Zhao Kingdom." Zhao Xing sighed.

Han Ce didn't comment, this is not what he should comment.

"But I will not persuade the state to implement any reform of degrading the three capitals and collecting private soldiers, which is a hornet's nest and a search for death. Besides, I have a fief on behalf of the county, what we need most is family arms, we need tall walls to resist the Hu people, and we need strong arms to conquer the neighboring Yan Kingdom, Hu people, and Zhongshan. Therefore, I will not do anything that harms my own interests, at least not now. Zhao Xing said his own principles of doing things. When Han Ce deeply despised him and was truly loyal to the monarch and patriotic, Zhao Xing continued to talk about his plan: "But our family forces are not equipped with chariots, chariots are too bulky, too expensive, and when the war broke out, it was too limited by the terrain. Therefore, after I returned from Lou Fu and Lin Hu, I made up my mind to carry out Hufu cavalry shooting in my family army. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Han Ce and Xu Jie, who crawled to Xingshi to ask for guilt, categorically refused: "The head of the family must not." ”

Xu Jie retorted loudly: "Clothing has its own rules of the weekly etiquette system, who wears what clothes have strict rules, how can they be changed?" If it is changed, it is a mess of the weekly rites, and the weekly rites cannot be messed up. ”

Han Ce said: "In the military war, hundreds of thousands of troops across the country are assembled, if we are different, we will not be able to keep pace with other armies, and it will lead to the defeat of the war at that time, which is a big crime." ”

Zhao Xing knew that the implementation of Hufu cavalry would be blocked by conservative forces, so in order to reduce the resistance when Zhao Yong implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, he decided to implement it on his own family armed first. After all, I am in charge of my territory, and I am blindly tossing and turning, and others can only laugh at me and cannot interfere.

And if you succeed in riding and shooting, you will be emulated. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the common nature of human beings. When the time comes, with our own special zone as an example, it will be much easier to carry it out.

In the evening, Zhao Xing, accompanied by Han Ce, visited Fei's, and he came with an order.

Although during the mourning period, he could not feast, drink, drink and dance, but the head of the Fei clan, who is now Jiuqing Fei Nong of Zhao State, still closed the door and entertained Zhao Xing with the most sumptuous wine and food and the most solemn etiquette.

After three drinks and three blessings, Fei Nong said apologetically: "Originally, Xingzi came to the national capital, and I should have sent someone over to invite Xingzi to have a banquet, but the country was lost." I can only give up, and when the country is mourned, I must invite Xingzi to come and sit down, today's dishes are vulgar, and please Xingzi Haihan. ”

Faced with dozens of vulgar dishes that made the owner feel ashamed, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to praise and said the right thing.

"Fei Shi is a chariot builder, but this time, I didn't order chariots."

Fei Nong said generously: "The monarch is sympathetic to Xingzi's new seal, so he has exempted the number of soldiers recruited in a large area across the country this time, plus Xingzi has just set up a home in the capital, and he is strapped for money. ”

In fact, Zhao Xing's words have already made Fei Nong quite satisfied, and Zhao Xing's words are to explain to Fei Nong that he admits that Zhao Guo Fei is the monopolist who makes chariots, and admits this monopoly and rules.

After Zhao Xing apologized again, he took out a piece of linen cloth from his arms: "Although I can't order a carriage for the time being, I still have a little order, please bother Shangqing." Then he handed the figure both hands.

Fei Nong took it with both hands, just glanced at it slightly, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he Fei Shi is a master of artifact making, and he is an absolute expert professor for creating utensils. After carefully studying it for a long time, he raised his head and said excitedly: "Xingzi called this artifact a Takahashi saddle?" ”

In this era, the chariot was the dominant force on the battlefield, but there were also cavalry, which was called single horsemanship, but it was not large-scale and was not valued. Of course, there is no saddle, even if the historical Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, there was no saddle, just a blanket on the horse's back.

But as soon as you look at the name, you know that this is an epoch-making artifact, and this is definitely a huge business opportunity.

Zhao Xing nodded with a smile: "I'll book five hundred pairs first, I don't know if Shangqing can do it." ”

Fei Nong's eyes lit up at that time, and he suddenly realized, "Xingzi's saddle is really a wonderful thing, and his appearance will completely change the form of the army and war." Does Xingzi want to test it by himself first, and then recommend it to the monarch? ”

Those who play politics think about everything is really politics, and they are sensitive to this.

From the late Spring and Autumn period to the present, if a person wants to be born out of thin air and attract the attention of thousands of people, he must make some moths to come out. Otherwise, in this era of seriously ossified classes, there is absolutely no possibility of getting ahead.

And as soon as this Zhao Xing came, he was pushed to such a high position by Xiao Guojun, for this position, he had to come up with something to convince the public. The achievements made by the envoy Hu Ren are indeed admirable, but they can only give him a foothold in the court of Zhao State, but he can't stand firmly, and he will definitely have means in the future.

But what is the means? The old routine, reform and change the law.

This point has made all the old nobles vigilant, and it depends on how he, as the teacher of the monarch, holds the monarch hostage to change the law, and where he goes under the knife.

And today Zhao Xing came to his mansion and asked to buy the Takahashi saddle in his mouth, and Fei Nong immediately felt keenly that Zhao Xing was going to take the army.

Taking the army as a start, Fei Nong thought that Zhao Xing was very unwise.

Because, the army is the country's biggest place to spend money. Of course, spending money is spent by the monarch, but spending money is equivalent to making many families make money. For example, Zhao Wuzi of the Zhao family of ironware, such as the Qi family of the leather family, such as the Le family of Jiangmen, such as the Gong family of the gong and drum tent, the large and small families of the northern land of the war horse, and the Fei family of the chariot.

It's a hornet's nest bigger than anything else, so looking at all the reformers, they can do it to the nobility, they can do it to the land, they can do it to the title, but are there really any things that do it to the army?

No, because, this hornet's nest is too big.

Shaking the drawings in his hand, Fei Nong squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "I don't know how much such a saddle will be set in Xingzi's heart?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled faintly: "If I don't succeed in my play, five hundred, if I succeed, one hundred thousand, and then other countries will follow suit." ”

Fei Nong continued to shake the picture calmly: "I don't know if Xingzi will hand over this thing to me in the future, or will Xingzi build his own workshop and build it himself?" ”

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "I can hand over the diagram to you, I can hand over the first batch of orders to you, in fact, it is to show that I like a sentence, and I have a specialization in the art industry." I, a layman, why bother with things that are superb? Then he solemnly gave an example: "I can burn the most complex terracotta figurines in the shortest possible time, but I have removed the pottery kiln after completing the task assigned to me by the king, is this not enough to explain the problem?" ”

Zhao Xing used such a short time to fire such a complex pottery figurine, and his technology and ability have already made the Tian family, a family of pottery, feel a huge crisis.

But Zhao Xing, who was outside, got a report from his housekeeper and completed the task, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to order, as soon as the news of the pottery kiln came out, the Tian family was relieved, in fact, the other families were relieved.

It is generally accepted that this outsider is well-behaved.

Fei Nong cherished this picture and handed it to the second brother beside him: "According to Xingzi's pattern, make a thousand saddles, and negotiate the price with Xingzi's retainers." ”

The second brother respectfully accepted the order.

"But this price is only the price of future orders, this time the thousand saddles are given to Xingzi, just let me play with him."

It's a very, very obvious promise that you will bring my family a new generation of products for the future, so that our family will continue to have an economic source for survival, and I accept your offer, and I can play with you.

Zhao Xing accepted the gift calmly, and then was relieved to know that he had formed another alliance born of interests.
