"Strategist, the expansion of official roads and the construction of water conservancy depend on your extra care......"

In the main hall, Zhao Zheng took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the hands of the military advisor Zhuge and solemnly entrusted him.

"What did Your Highness say! The old minister will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness! ”

Zhuge was suddenly clenched his hands by His Highness, and couldn't help but look excited, and nodded slowly.

And the reason why there is today's move is that after such a large windfall, the originally empty treasury swelled up like a balloon!

As a result, many of the strategies for strengthening Qin, which had to be temporarily shelved due to the emptiness of the treasury, were all enough to be put on the agenda and officially started!

With the support of sufficient money, grain and grass, Zhao Zheng discussed with the military advisor, and finally decided to open the expansion of official roads and build water conservancy, which are two major livelihood plans!

Although the expansion of the official road may not have much substantive effect on Qin Chuan at the moment, under the premise that Hawking has organized people to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass to open up the Tiger Prison Trade Road.

But it won't take more than a year, and the official road that extends in all directions will play an immeasurable role in Qinchuan commerce!

Coupled with the gathering and absorption effect of the Tiger Prison Trade Road on merchants all over the world, Qinchuan County, which occupies the trade hub of the three countries such as Tiger Prison, will gradually evolve into a major trade county and achieve rapid economic take-off!

Therefore, opening up the Tiger Prison trade road and expanding the official road in the county are both moves to revitalize commerce and trade, and they rely on each other, both of which are indispensable!

Otherwise, even if the Tiger Prison Trade Road is opened up and the goods of Dali and Beidi are attracted, it is difficult to reach the county because of the bumpy road, isn't it equivalent to tying one's hands and feet?

As for the construction of water conservancy, not to mention self-use, of course, it is a major matter that has a real bearing on the people's livelihood.

Therefore, after some discussion, Zhao Zheng and Zhuge secretly regarded the expansion of official roads and the construction of water conservancy as the top priorities of Qinchuan County at present!

But it wasn't until that time that Zhao Zheng suddenly realized that there was no one beside him who could be of great use......

Hawking has been sent to the Tiger Prison Pass to open up the Tiger Prison Business Road, Zhao Long doesn't know a few big characters, he will only bury his head in martial arts, Guan Fei is a martial artist, if you want to say that you are naturally brave and brave to kill the enemy, even if you are familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war, if you say that you are governing the dynasty, then don't be embarrassed for him.

Not to mention Zhao Yun, he is only twelve years old, and his ambition is only on the battlefield, and Gao De is in charge of the affairs of the palace as his own housekeeper, and he is really indispensable for the big stall in the backyard of his home.

So counting and counting, Zhao Zheng finally found that he still had to rely on the military advisor Zhuge to secretly come out!

But originally in his own plan, the military advisor Zhuge secretly wanted to be in charge of the government and assist him in handling government affairs!

Although he had some bad taste at the time, and according to the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he secretly gave Zhuge the title of military advisor, but in fact, in his heart, he was ready to let Zhuge military adviser be the prime minister of Qin!

With him helping him deal with government affairs, wouldn't he be able to sit back and relax, be drunk all day long, and indulge in alcohol?

However, from the beginning of disaster relief to the people, to the current expansion of trade routes and water conservancy, it is a major matter in the county!

With no one at hand, he can only rely on Zhuge Junshi to make full overall planning, which is enough to do the best of these major events in the shortest possible time!

Therefore, in desperation, Zhuge Military Division could not be transferred, and he had no other person to rely on, so the affairs of the county could only be handed over to Taishou Yaofei to continue to take care of for the time being.

It is equivalent to doing it for a long time, and he has to rely on Qin Chuan's officials to help him govern the government for a while!

This made Zhao Zheng feel a little unpleasantly tight in his heart at the moment!

But if you expect those Qinchuan officials to preside over the expansion of official roads and the construction of water conservancy, then it is estimated that ten taels of silver, and in the end, there will be only five taels left on the blade, which is already very good!

Counting on those corrupt officials to do such a big thing, they can't make Zhao Zheng half angry?

Is it possible to drag all the officials of Qinchuan to cut down? ?

So for a while, Zhao Zheng was really a little blind, and secretly sighed in his heart that he had no one to use!

And he also knows very well in his heart that he wants to be a carefree and idle vassal king, he doesn't want to be disturbed by mundane affairs and still wants to deal with the affairs of the court and politics, and he wants to govern the country well and he wants to be the shopkeeper!

In this case, the only thing that can be relied on is talent!

And it's not just a kind of talent, it's a variety of talents, who can write and martial arts!!

But so many talents...... Where do you find it?

Even if they find it, are they willing to come to Qinchuan and other birds don't, but there are border counties with constant wars?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel a big headache, and he really couldn't wait to fall out of the sky to give him a great ruler!

In this case, do you need His Royal Highness King Qin to do anything?

All the affairs of the country are left to him and the military advisor to deal with them, you just need to eat, drink and have fun!

At that time, it was my lifelong dream to become an idle feudal lord...... Isn't that finally possible?!

Ha ha! It's a little exciting to think about!

"Oh yes! Talent ......"

Suddenly, Zhao Zheng had a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he suddenly remembered the two patriarchs of the clan who had reported to him in advance!

Since they have all shown their loyalty, and they are the most active in cooperating with the policy of apportioning the land into the mu, should they also be appropriately wooed!

Otherwise...... You can't push all the worlds against you, can you?

What's more, if you really want to search for talents in this Qinchuan County, then these people of the world must be indispensable!

The reason is naturally very simple, those who read the most and have the highest knowledge in the entire Qinchuan County must all be born in the major clans!

Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary people to even fill their stomachs, and how can they have the spare energy to provide for their children to go to school and practice?

Therefore, if Zhao Zheng wants to discover talents, he still has to rely on these local clans in Qinchuan!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout immediately!

"Someone! The patriarchs of the Xuangu clan and the Hao clan are here! ”

……

"The Gu clan patriarch and the Hao clan patriarch are here!"

As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Qin opened his golden mouth, Gu Qi, the patriarch of the Gu clan, and Hao Niu, the patriarch of the Hao clan, naturally did not dare to have the slightest delay, and hurriedly rushed to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Gu Qi and Hao Niu knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully - because most of the patriarchs of the major clans in Qinchuan had an official and a half position in the county, when they met His Royal Highness the King of Qin, they all called themselves ministers.

Even if the age of the two of them is not an exaggeration to be the grandfather of His Royal Highness King Qin, when he meets His Royal Highness King Qin, he does not dare to lack the courtesy and respect at all.

Especially after seeing the eleven clans being slaughtered by the nine clans, this kind of awe and panic in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

Therefore, as soon as His Royal Highness King Qin summoned him, he hurriedly put down everything and quickly met him!

"Two patriarchs, please get up! Hurry up, please! ”

For these two loyal patriarchs, Zhao Zheng was naturally kind and smiling.

Although he didn't need the two of them to tell him in advance, he had already anticipated the danger of the siege that day, and as early as when he went to Qin Longsai to meet the general of the expedition to the north, he had already asked General He in advance to temporarily borrow 20,000 horsemen from him to ride on the northern iron in case of emergency.

But there are so many patriarchs in Qinchuan, but only these two people have come to report one after another, isn't this a rare manifestation of loyalty?

Therefore, Zhao Zheng specially summoned these two patriarchs here today, precisely to strengthen this loyalty, so that these two clans can continue to be firmly bound to him!

"Don't dare, don't dare! Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! ”

Gu Qi and Hao Niu hurriedly got up in a panic, and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Two patriarchs, this king specially invited you here today to select talents in the county and entrust you with important tasks! The loyalty of the two has long been reflected, so this king decided to give priority to the Gu clan and the Hao clan first! ”

When Na Gu Qi and Hao Niu heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly knelt on the ground like ecstatic, and chanted again and again while kowtowing!

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!! ”

The reason why the two of them were so excited was because King Qin's move really gave them a great benefit!

It is necessary to know that the countries of Kyushu, starting from Dali, have implemented the probation system for the selection of officials!

The so-called probation system is a system in which local governors recommend talents to their superiors or the central government after inspection and selection in the area under their jurisdiction.

Among them, only one person can be nominated by the county keeper every year for a county, and only three talents can be recommended by the state pastor every year for a county.

The status of the vassal king is higher than that of the state pastor, although he only governs one county, he can nominate three talents, and he will be appointed as an official after the imperial court assessment.

Therefore, the inspection system is the only way to become an official in the world's families and poor families!

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why a county is too shou to have a great say in the area under his jurisdiction!

Because in his hands, he has the only broad road to the court and become an official for all the children of the family in the county!

Just like this Qinchuan County, although it is a barren border county, the highest local governor also has the right to recommend a talent every year!

For example, in previous years, almost all of the people recommended every year were recommended by the eight major clans of Qinchuan in turn, and the other small clans probably couldn't wait for a chance to be elected as officials for more than ten years.

As for the children of the poor family, they don't have to think about it, even if they spend more money, it is almost impossible to be elected as an official in this life, and they will join the office.

Of course, no matter which clan is elected by the Taishou, this will give the benefits and points to the Taishou, and it will naturally be indispensable for every penny.

If that clan unfortunately offends the local governor, it is likely that in five or ten years, it will be difficult for the children of the clan to have a chance to enter the ranks!

If you can't enter the government through the inspection system, you can only manage the lowly business of a businessman, and you will never have the opportunity to inherit the position of the patriarch and the head of the family, let alone lead the family to continue to grow.

And if there are some families who have not been able to become officials for decades, then in the long run, they will fall from the family to the wealthy, from the wealthy to the poor, and gradually disappear from the world and become ordinary people.

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Qin's move is tantamount to opening the door for the Gu clan and the Hao clan, and directly dividing the precious quota that he has only three per year into two!

Let's ask, how can such a grace not make Gu Qi and Hao Niu so excited that they can't help but kowtow again and again?

At this moment, the two of them only felt in their hearts how correct the decision was that they had finally made after making a lot of determination!!

Moreover, this sudden probation quota is only one of the benefits of that decision!

More importantly, the two of them have won the trust and appreciation of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and in the future, in this Qinchuan County, they will naturally have a bright future and a smooth road!

"Haha! The two patriarchs don't need to be so polite, if you have this time, it is better to return to the house immediately and lead the patriarch Junjie here! ”

Zhao Zheng just laughed, and motioned to the two patriarchs to return to their homes immediately, and bring their own children here, so that they could take the school exam in person.

"Yes, yes, what His Highness said is extremely true! Wait now! ”

Gu Qi and Hao Niu were overjoyed, hurriedly responded, hurriedly rushed out, got into the carriage and immediately rushed back to the mansion, and personally led their grandson to His Royal Highness King Qin.

Of course, even their grandchildren are all adults, and they are a few years older than His Royal Highness King Qin.

When facing His Royal Highness the King of Qin, they were extremely respectful and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

"Your Highness, this is the best grandson of the minister - Gucci, the word is happy!"

As soon as the patriarch of the Gu clan finished speaking, he saw the young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes kneeling on the ground again, and saluted respectfully.

"Don't just add joy, I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"Poof...... Ahem, that, the grandson of Mr. Gu, is really a talent! ”

Zhao Zheng suddenly heard the name of Gu Tianle, and almost didn't make a sound on the spot, but fortunately, he already had some psychological tolerance for the name of this thief, so he endured it on the spot!

"Your Highness, this is the most well-behaved and honest grandson of the minister-Hao Zhen, the word Spring and Autumn!"

Seeing this situation, Hao Niu was not to be outdone, and hurriedly pushed his grandson beside him, and hurriedly introduced.

"No, I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Seeing this, Hao Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully to His Royal Highness King Qin.

"Oh? Hao Zhen? ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, and finally came to a slightly more normal name!

And this guy still looks like this, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his expression is sincere, he must be like his grandfather, he is an honest and good boy who can't lie!

This kind of honest and honest talent, loyal and simple, must be entrusted with important tasks!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng looked at Hao Zhen and Hao Chunqiu, who had a simple and unpretentious face, and couldn't help nodding secretly, extremely satisfied in his heart......

……

"Hao Zhenzhi (the word Spring and Autumn), a great historian in the early days of the Qian, was also.

It is really a member of the Hao clan in Qinchuan County, because of his stupidity and simplicity, he was valued by the first emperor, and he often accompanied the first emperor in his early years, and he was well versed in the character and temperament of the first emperor, and he was greatly impressed!

Therefore, I really made up my mind that the wish of this life is to record the true words and deeds of the first emperor in detail with my own pen!

Zhen Zengyun: 'Taking the deeds of celebrities as the root, taking the real historical materials as the foundation, supplemented by one or two modified rhetoric, it is the culmination of historical records! ’

This is a famous sentence in the annals of history, the style of opening the history of a little repair, and then it was widely spread, and the history is called "Spring and Autumn Penmanship". ”
