The defeat did not have much impact on the Qin State, at least for the lowest Qianshou, these would only become their after-dinner conversations, and they were more concerned about the harvest of their crops than victory or defeat.

Fortunately, this year, God is very powerful, the wind and rain are smooth, if nothing else, it can be more than three percent more than in previous years, in addition to the taxes paid to the state, there can be a lot left, plus the money earned from raising silkworms and selling silk, and it is just enough to add a piece of clothing to the child in winter.

Although the taxes of the Qin State are heavy, they will collect as much as they should, and they will definitely not overcharge, even if the country needs a lot of grain, grass and money, they will exchange it for titles, which will surpass other countries in this regard.

The credit established by Shang Ying at the beginning played a very big role, at least the people of Qin, especially the people of Guanzhong, trusted the government very much.

Of course, there must be a phenomenon of setting up a name and enriching one's own pockets, but it is not universal.

In this regard, no matter how strict the Qin law is, there is no way, after all, in the final analysis, it is still the rule of man. And the benefits are so great that even the Zhujiu clan can't stop some people from taking risks.

Only those who have relatives who died in the war will remember a little, and then continue to run for survival, and the burden on their shoulders does not allow them to stop and rest for a while.

Some families were able to inherit the title left by their father, and their lives were slightly better, but many more did not inherit the title, and only had a small amount of money and food as a pension, and they could not even afford a calf.

In troubled times, human life is not as good as cattle.

However, the impact of this war on the entire court of the Qin State was very great.

Bai Qi, in particular, has been seriously questioned.

There are many people in the Qin State who support Bai Qi, and there are even more people who hate Bai Qi, plus many people climb up eating the big cake of Wei Ran and other four nobles, and they will even attack Bai Qi, the 'old minister of the former dynasty'.

Those people don't care how Bai Qi lost, they just know that Bai Qi lost, that's fine, nothing else matters.

Bai Qi didn't care about them, after returning to Qin, he saw Qin Wangji's side, handed over the military power, and returned to the manor outside the city to live, lying in the courtyard every day to read, occasionally growing vegetables, like an old farmer in the field.

He was well aware of what was happening in the DPRK, and he knew that his existence was blocking the path of some people, but he was unwilling to get involved in these bad things.

Mixed with it, it may not be the opponent of those old guys.

Politics is much more difficult than war.

Bai Qi sometimes wants to kill all these wastes as if he were an enemy.

"Hey!" Bai Qi sighed, calmed down the murderous aura in his heart, turned the "Book of Rites" in his hand to the "Mean" chapter, and read it aloud.

"Father, the king has sent someone." At this moment, a young man of one or twenty years old walked in from outside and said with his hand.

"Please come in." Bai Qi said, and did not put down the book, until the messenger entered the courtyard and walked in front of him, he slowly got up, and waited until the messenger finished saluting, and he did not return the salute.

"Wu Anjun, General Zhang Tang is back, the king invites you to come over." The envoy did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, and those ministers dared to spray white, but he did not dare.

"I see." Bai Qi said.

This time, he was the commander-in-chief, Wang Di and Zhang Tang were the deputy generals, each commanding a large army, and now that Zhang Tang is back, it is normal for the King of Qin to invite him over.

"That'...... The slave retired first. With that, the messenger turned and left. I don't know why, he always feels that Bai Qi's side is much colder than in other places.

"Father." Bai Liang looked at his grandfather.

"Prepare the car." Bai Qi said.

By the time Bai Qi arrived at the palace, several important ministers had already arrived.

Prince Zhu, Wang Sun Zichu, Fan Ju, Wei Ran, Lü Buwei, Shou Zhu, Lou Zhuan, and the generals who participated in the Battle of Hedong.

Sima Cuo did not come, he was more decisive than Bai Qi, and after the battle of Chu was over, he went home to farm, and he would never hold a position unless the king of Qin issued an edict.

This time it was the same, because of the edict of King Qin, he led the troops, and after the battle, he lived in Xianyang for a period of time, and then returned to Xiayang.

Sima Cuo's approach won him a lot of political bargaining chips, and his son Sima Terrier and grandson Sima Jin were also promoted, even if Sima Jin was defeated and captured, relying on Sima Cuo's old face, Qin Wangji did not make any punishment.

It can be said that as long as Sima Cuo is still there, even King Qin will give him three points of face.

And the Bai family, on the one hand, except for Bai Qi, there is indeed no one who can take on the big responsibility. On the other hand, Qin Wangji and the ministers of the Qin State were also suppressing the upward speed of the Bai family.

Qin Wangji sat on it, his face was not very good-looking, this was already the second defeat of the Qin State in three years, and this defeat made some of the savings that the Qin State had just accumulated exhausted, and he could only retract back to Hangu Pass.

Fortunately, the Sanjin did not take advantage of the situation to attack, giving the Qin State a chance to breathe.

Fan Ju glanced at Bai Qi and nodded slightly, he used to be the vanguard of anti-Bai, but since the first battle of the party, he has not impeached Bai Qi, and even this time Bai Qi was defeated, he stood on Bai Qi's side with a clear banner.

If Bai Qi wins, it means that Zhao Guo is like that, and if he kills, he will be killed.

But even Bai Qi lost, who else among the other generals could resist Zhao Guo?

It was a ruthless person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but before the river was crossed, it was brainless to start demolishing the bridge.

Fan Ju wanted to kill Bai Qi, but he didn't want Qin Guo to accompany him to the funeral. When the Qin State is gone, his glory and wealth are gone.

It's a pity that Bai Qi has been closed these days, and he doesn't know that Fan Ju has helped him......

"Wu Anjun is here, sit." Qin Wangji pointed to the top position on the left and said. "Everyone has seen the process and results of this battle, so let's talk about their opinions."

"Although this war was lost by our Qin State, it also illustrates a problem - the Sanjin Dynasty is not monolithic, especially South Korea, which is more about self-preservation. The minister thought that it was necessary to speed up the penetration of South Korea and draw South Korea into the camp of our Qin State. Lü Buwei said.

"Yes, as long as the Sanjin is not monolithic, my Qin Kingdom will find an opportunity sooner or later." Shou Zhu nodded.

"As the Zhao State becomes stronger and stronger, sooner or later, Han and Wei will turn their heads and rely on our Qin State because of the threat of the Zhao State." Fan Ju said.

The strength of the moment does not mean anything, the country of Qi was from the south to the Huaishui and the north to the river, how strong was it? Still almost destroyed.

As long as Zhao is strong enough for all countries to feel threatened, when the time comes, Qin will be able to lead the alliance of the six countries to defeat Zhao.

At the beginning, Zhao State was able to defeat the Five Kingdoms, but it was only because Qin State had just experienced a major defeat, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it did not exert its strength, otherwise Zhao State would be defeated no matter how strong it was.

When Qin Wangji heard this, his face softened a little, but he also knew in his heart that when Lu Buwei and others said this, the element of comfort was greater, and what the future situation would be, mainly depends on the strength of the Qin State, and it is not wise to pin his hopes on others.
