"No." Liu Ping observed a second of silence in his heart for the person in charge of printing, and now the books that need to be printed are scheduled for next year.

No way, although the engraving plate does not require too high technology, the process needs to be very fine, there can be no typo, and the wrong one must be re-engraved.

Moreover, the character of Zhao Guo evolved from the seal character of the Zhou Dynasty, and the arc is mainly used for strokes, which is more difficult to carve than the square word, and it is easy to make mistakes, and sometimes it is not possible to engrave several editions in a day.

Everyone's faces were full of envy, in the past, Li Bing's name was only famous in the Qin State at most, and when the "Essentials of Water Control" was published and placed in the academy for disciples to study, Li Bing's reputation would inevitably resound all over the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, when Li Bing goes anywhere in the world, the local officials will greet him in person, not only do they not have to spend money, but there are also people who send money, food and women. Before leaving, he had to stuff a lot of things for Li Bing to take away.

That's fame!

Zhao Kuo saw everyone's reaction and smiled in his heart, he forgot that people in this era are pursuing the name behind him.

"If you have anything you want to write, you can write it, and when the time comes, this king will help you print it all. When the time comes, this king will be placed in the academy for everyone to study. Zhao Kuo said.

With the trust in everyone's discipline, Zhao Kuo did not limit the content, and no one should write something inappropriate for children.

"Can we too?" When everyone heard this, they suddenly breathed a little short.

Even Xunzi is not an exception, he used to be in the Jixia School Palace, he thought about following Confucius and Mencius, after middle age, find a place to live in seclusion, write a book and say.

However, this kind of private writing and printing is completely different from putting it in the academy as a teaching material for people all over the world to study.

In the past, the Confucian group sprayed him every day, if his books were used as teaching materials, and ten years later, when his students were all over the world, who would dare to spray him?

Without him having to make a move, his students would have sprayed this group of people with blood.

"Of course, whether it is the art of war with the troops, or the experience of governing the country and strengthening the country, or even the art of debate, the skills of craftsmen, etc., can be written." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers said excitedly.

The world is crowded, either for fame or profit.

Most of them have well-to-do families and have no interest in money, but they can't escape the shackles of fame.

"Okay, if you're okay, let's get busy first." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

After everyone saluted, they turned around and said goodbye, a little impatient, I don't know if there is an urgent matter, or I want to go back to write a book.

"Is there anything else going on with Huangshi Gong?" Zhao Kuo looked at Huang Shigong who stayed behind, a little strange.

It is said that Zhao Kuo used to think that Huang Shigong was used by Zhang Liang's guy to cover up his fiction, but he didn't know that he was really there until he saw the real person.

As for why he was sure that the Huangshi Gong in front of him must be the Huangshi Gong who passed on Zhang Liangbing's book, Zhao Kuo said that any normal person would not call himself a Gong in his name.

In the entire Zhao Kingdom, what can be compared to this name is Xu Da's son, Mrs. Xu.

"The minister has a plan to offer to the king." Huang Shigong tidied up his clothes and said solemnly.

If a person wants to quickly improve his status in a force, it is completely unrealistic to climb step by step, and he can only find another way.

Just as Shang Ying used changing the law as the way to be promoted, and Fan Ju used the deposition of the four nobles as the way to be promoted, Huang Shigong also wanted to rely on his own strategy to get Zhao Kuo's reuse.

Huang Shigong has been alone since he was a child, although he was later accepted as an apprentice by Que Guanzi, but the master and apprentice have similar personalities, the same cynicism and informality.

Although it is serious on the surface, it gives people a sense of nondescriptry, and the temperament is completely opposite to that of a real aristocracy.

However, Zhao Kuo didn't mean to look down on him, he motioned to the guards to pour a cup of tea for Huang Shigong, made a gesture of please, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "This king listens to me." ”

"Dare to ask the king, next year to attack the Huns, but in order to stabilize the rear?" Huang Shigong asked.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.

Although the Xiongnu have not yet been unified, they are already a big force on the grassland and Donghu, and all the tribes are united, at least hundreds of thousands of troops can be dispatched, which is a great threat to the Zhao State.

And unlike Donghu, the Xiongnu at this time were on the rise, and the sooner Zhao sent troops, the smaller the price to pay.

Even if you can't completely destroy the Huns, at least you have to abolish them, the kind that can't be slowed down for decades.

"In addition to the Xiongnu, there is another country in the rear of my Zhao State." Huang Shigong said.

"Sir, do you mean Yan Guo?" Zhao Kuo said.

"Not bad." Huang Shigong nodded.

"What method does the gentleman have to teach me?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Zhao Kuo had already made some arrangements for Yan Guo, but he still wanted to hear Huang Shigong's thoughts.

"I heard that the king will send grain to Yan State during the autumn harvest this year, and to the relatives of the Tuntian soldiers, and promised everyone that in the future, grain will be sent during the summer harvest and autumn harvest every year, and no one will starve to death?" Huang Shigong asked.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.

This is the strategy he has set for the future to quickly regain the hearts of the people of Yandi, although it will lose a lot of food now, but in the long run, it is worth it.

"This method can only be effective after my Zhao State defeats the Yan State. The minister has a way to speed up the annexation of Yan. ”

"Except for Donghu around Yan Kingdom, there is only me Zhao Kingdom. If Yan Guo wants to go south to communicate with the Central Plains, he must also go through my Zhao State. The minister thought that our Zhao State could blockade it economically, and strictly forbid the countries of the Central Plains to trade with it. Yan is located in the northeast, and many things need to be obtained from the Central Plains. In the long run, civil strife will inevitably break out in the Yan Kingdom. Huang Shigong said.

"I, Zhao Guo, am already doing this." Zhao Kuo said.

After defeating the Yan State, the Zhao State blockaded the Yan State, and at the same time, Zhao Mu led the Zhao State Chamber of Commerce to attack the local merchants of the Yan State, and constantly annexed the Yan State market.

When a country is unable to trade with foreign countries, and its own structure is not perfect, and many things in the country are not self-sufficient, after a long time, an economic crisis will inevitably break out, not to mention that most of the market is now in the hands of the enemy.

Huang Shigong was a little surprised, but fortunately, his preparations were more than that.

"In addition, my Zhao State can buy copper and iron at a high price in Yan State, dump grain at a low price, and suppress the price of grain in Yan State. Yan is bitterly cold, and its grain production is already very low, and it even sometimes has to rely on other countries for assistance to survive the winter. There is not much benefit in growing grain, and after a long time, the people of Yan will inevitably go all out to make iron and reduce the cultivation of grain. ”

"When the time is ripe, I, Zhao Guo, will cut off the grain of Yan Country again, and the crisis of Yan Country will inevitably become more serious, and when the time comes, Yan Kingdom, which has lost its food, can only be captured."
