"Bang!"

Zhao Bao returned to the mansion with a pale face, the door was slammed shut, his hands were clenched into fists, and his voice was gloomy, "Let Mrs. Wang Sun come over." ”

Wang Suntai is the housekeeper of Zhao Bao's mansion, and has followed Zhao Bao for more than 20 years and has won Zhao Bao's trust.

"Lord." Wang Suntai stepped in, and suddenly found that something was wrong with the situation, and thought that Zhao Bao had just been called by Zhao Kuo, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "Lord...... Is something wrong? ”

"The second child was arrested, you go to Woyang in person, I want to know who the second child has met in the past year, write them all down for me, and check them one by one. In addition, there is also the guy named Wang Yu, I want all his information, including who he has dealings with, what relatives he has, etc. Zhao Bao said in a deep voice.

No matter how Zhao Kuo punishes, even if he is punished severely, his son will not be guilty to death, anyway, he is a waste, and it is a big deal to raise him for the rest of his life, but Zhao Bao absolutely cannot tolerate being used as a gunman.

If it weren't even for Li Mu and Kong Bin to find out in advance, they wouldn't have known that they would have been sold in the future!

Zhao Bao felt the other party's insult and trampling on his personality.

"Do you need subordinates to bring the second son back?" Wang Suntai asked.

"You can't bring it back, and don't do much." Zhao Bao shook his head, Zhao Kuo's attitude was very resolute, even if he made compensation elsewhere, he would punish Zhao Tang, and Zhao Bao had no way to change Zhao Kuo's decision.

"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will set off." Gongsun Tai bowed, turned and strode towards the stable.

"Prepare the car and go to the Plains Monarch's Mansion." Zhao Bao thought about it for a while and decided to discuss it with Zhao Sheng, his fourth brother considered things more perfectly than him.

……

"When Shang Ying changed the law, the whole country was opposed, even the crown prince was opposed. I haven't even really started this before someone objected, hehe. Zhao Kuo looked at the map of Zhao Kingdom, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The road to changing the law has been difficult since ancient times, and when King Zhao Wuling changed the law, he also made sufficient preparations and paid a great price to suppress the clan and nobles.

However, he has more advantages than King Zhao Wuling, when King Zhao Wuling changed the law, other countries had already completed the change, and the main line of history changed from changing the law to combining vertical and horizontal.

Of course, before King Zhao Wuling's reform, Zhao Guo also had a Gongzhong Lian reform, but this change was not so much a change as an improvement, because Gongzhong Lian only made measures such as selecting talents and promoting talents, and did not fundamentally change Zhao's system.

So on the whole, Zhao Guo was the last to change the law.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao to change the law in peace and stability, and other countries will not sit back and watch Zhao successfully complete the change.

The only choice that Zhao had left was the last path, which some historians call 'classical militarism'.

To put it simply, since the country cannot reform the system first and then reform the military system, it should simply give up the reform of the system and put all resources and skill points on the military.

In this way, the country can quickly become strong in a short period of time and divert contradictions through foreign wars. Moreover, the resources plundered through the victory of the war can also fill the deficit of the country, so as to feed the war and complete the ultimate reform goal.

This road is similar to the road taken by the Qin State, but the difference is that the Qin State walks on two legs, and implements the system of 'ploughing and warfare', and 'ploughing' is still ranked in front of 'war'.

Strong agriculture laid a solid foundation for the Qin state, and as long as there were no consecutive defeats, even one or two defeats would not be a major problem.

But Zhao Guo only walked on one leg, and the practice was only 'fighting', not 'farming'. ’

This road is much riskier than that of Qin and other countries, because in the course of foreign wars, as long as there is a large-scale defeat, there will be major problems in the country's finances, and then the whole country will collapse.

After embarking on this road, Zhao Guo must win, and he must win often, and it is a quick victory, and it will not work for a long time.

Therefore, King Zhao Wuling did not make the same choice as all the previous monarchs: to dominate the Central Plains. Instead, he keenly focused on the north, where the Hu people were obviously weaker than the Central Plains countries, and were more suitable as a step for the Zhao State to accumulate strength.

Later, as in history, the Zhao State continued to rise in the process of the Northern Expedition, and even destroyed the Zhongshan State, which was called the 'eighth strongest Warring States State' by many people in later generations.

And the military strength of the Zhao State is so strong that even the Qi State and the Chu State are not opponents.

At this time, as long as Zhao Guo makes up another leg: the economy. It can quickly transform into a power at the same level as Qin, surpassing the other five countries.

However, it is clear that Zhao Guo does not have this opportunity.

King Wuling of Zhao was smart for a while, and died early in the prime of life, and then King Zhao Huiwen was far worse than his father.

The reform was not really completed, resulting in the Zhao State later only having strong military strength, and other aspects were no different from the Five Kingdoms, and may even be slightly insufficient.

And now Zhao Kuo is to continue the road that King Zhao Wuling has not finished, so that Zhao Guo's other leg will grow up and become a giant who walks on two legs.

When King Wuling of Zhao succeeded to the throne, he was surrounded by strong enemies, and even Wei, Chu, Qin, Yan, and Qi each sent 10,000 troops to attend the funeral of Marquis Zhao Su, and Zhao was in danger of overturning at any time.

But now that the Zhao State has been subdued, the Yan State and the Qi State have been abolished, the Wei State has formed an alliance with the Zhao State, and the Qin State is still licking its wounds, although its strength still exists, and it is still separated from the Zhao State by the Wei State, and the Zhao State cannot threaten the Zhao State in a short time.

This is Zhao Guo's best opportunity, and if he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will wait for the next time.

Therefore, after Zhao Kuo ascended the throne, he immediately began to count the acres of land, redistribute taxes, encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm, and then issued a recruitment order, founded Handan College, recruited talents, and gradually promoted other government decrees.

"It's not even the beginning now, and there's still a lot to do in the future. Wait until the river loop is cleared, and it will be considered that it will really begin, and there is a kind of you who will always hide in the shadows and not come out. Zhao Kuo's palm pressed heavily on the map, the position in the middle of Zhao Guo.

Compared with Shang Ying and King Zhao Wuling, his current resistance is not a resistance at all, and those enemies don't even dare to show their heads.

"King, what's wrong?" An Ning walked over, and Rou Jing gently massaged Zhao Kuo's shoulder.

Since she became pregnant, An Ning has been a lot quieter, and she doesn't practice martial arts anymore, but she learns from Yan's to be a female celebrity, and makes small shoes and clothes for children who have not yet been born every day.

But her craftsmanship, the shoes and clothes she makes are really ......

"Why are you here?" Zhao Kuo's face softened a little.

"The concubine saw that the king had not returned, so she came over to have a look." An Ning said softly.

"There was a small incident in Yanmen, but the object of the crime was the son of Pingyang Jun, so there was some trouble." Zhao Kuo took An Ning's hands and pulled her in front of him, "Just leave the shoes and clothes to the next person, if you are bored, you can go around the palace, but remember to bring a guard." ”

"The concubine just feels that it is not safe to hand it over to the next person, it is better to do it herself, and wait for the child to grow up and then hand it over to the next person." An Ning said.

"You, forget it, go out with this king, you should be distracted." Zhao Kuo said.
