The next day, Zhao Kuo rarely slept until noon and didn't get up, and just about to stand up, he suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak and almost fell to the ground.

"No wonder the ancient emperors were short-lived." Zhao Kuo felt a wave of slander in his heart. He has still practiced martial arts, has internal qi, and his physical fitness has surpassed most people, those who have not practiced martial arts, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem, so it's no wonder if he is not squeezed alive.

Zhao Kuo looked back at the beauty on the bed, turned his head in the next second, and muttered 'Women are devils, women are devils...... 'Forcibly resisted the impulse, dressed under the service of the palace maid, and walked outside.

The ministers seemed to have expected that Zhao Kuo would come very late, and did not wait for him, but as usual, they went home after dealing with things in the morning, and did not appear one after another until three o'clock in the morning.

"Meet the King." Wei Wuji walked in from the outside and arched his hand.

"Sit down." Zhao Kuo said.

Wei Wuji walked to the first seat on his right hand and sat down without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Sheng, Yu Xin, Lin Xiangru, Xunzi, Le Yi, Lian Po, Tian Dan and others also entered the hall and sat down.

Looking at the civil and military ministers gathered together, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.

This is the confidence of Zhao to dominate the world!

After some congratulations, Wei Wuji handed over the things that had accumulated during this time, all of which had been dealt with, and there was no need for Zhao Kuo to deal with it anymore, but he wanted him to look at it and know it in his heart.

Zhao Kuo took a look, and during the expedition, the Quartet of Zhao was relatively stable.

The 200,000 captives of the Yan State are still farming in the Zhao State, and the old and the young in the country, just like the Zhao State after the Battle of Changping in history, cannot draw much troops at all, and the north will also face the invasion of Donghu, and there is no threat to the Zhao State.

Wei and Zhao in the south were still in the honeymoon period, and during Zhao's attack on the Xiongnu, they were also at war with Qin, and they couldn't take care of Zhao.

As for the Qi State in the east, since the last defeat, he chose to be a transparent person completely, when Qin and Wei were at war, Qin sent people to Qi to persuade Qi to attack Wei from behind, but Qi refused.

Qi has a good geographical location, abundant products, and enjoys the benefits of fish and salt, and the domestic business is also very developed.

Obviously, Qi Wangjian cannot be regarded as a Ming Jun. King Wei is still struggling, sometimes mediocre, sometimes virtuous, Qi Wangjian has completely laid down, and he doesn't even take care of the government, and all hands it over to the Empress Dowager Qi.

The rest is some land reclamation, saline land management, road construction, commerce and so on.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, especially the change of weights and measures, many merchants had opinions, and even Zhao Guo's goods could not be sold.

After all, although weights and measures were different in various countries in the past, on the whole, the gap was not very large, and it was relatively convenient to circulate.

In addition, this incident harmed the interests of some domestic gentry and nobles, so that they could not do anything about it in the future, so they added fuel to the fire and united merchants to fight back against Zhao.

Originally, if it was only the gentry and nobles who did it themselves, they could at least cause some turmoil to the Zhao State, and the foundation and connections they had been operating for many years were not blown, and the result was that they had to unite with merchants.

When the Zhao Chamber of Commerce eats white rice?

Compared with the strength of the merchants of Zhao State, who can compare with the Zhao Chamber of Commerce?

Those officials and nobles are so good that they don't die, and the businessmen they are looking for are all from the Zhao State Chamber of Commerce, which is no different from throwing themselves into the net.

As a result, it is clear that as soon as these merchants turned around, they sold the gentry and nobles for a good price.

The names of some of the main rebels were recorded on the list, and the biggest official was the county order, and further up it was known that the Zhao Chamber of Commerce was in charge of most of the merchants of the Zhao State, and the Zhao State Chamber of Commerce was controlled by Zhao Mu, and Zhao Mu was Zhao Kuo's own brother, so no one would do such a stupid thing.

Their biggest mistake is that they are not well-informed enough and blindly trust those businessmen.

The rebels were not beheaded, but were all sent to the Yanmen Coal Mine to dig coal. Now as long as Zhao Guo is not a heinous crime, he will hardly sentence him to death, after all, dead people cannot create wealth.

Most of the offenders were sent to the coal mines to dig for one to twenty years, depending on the severity of the offense.

Merchants from various countries seemed to see Zhao's determination to reform weights and measures, and Zhao did make money, so they had no choice but to continue to do business in Zhao.

They can get along with Zhao Guo, but they won't get along with money.

By the second half of the year, the commerce of Zhao had completely recovered, and with the news of the victory, especially after a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and furs from the Hetao poured into Zhao, the commercial tax repeatedly broke records.

If there is enough food, Zhao will be able to support it even if he launches a big war again.

However, the war is fought with money and grain, and Zhao Guo has enough money, but not enough food. Soldiers asked for food, prisoners for food, workers building roads, officials and merchants, cattle, sheep and horses.

Every summer and autumn harvest, in order to buy the hearts of the people, Zhao also sent food to the families of 200,000 Yan army captives.

In fact, all the land reclaimed by these Yan troops was wasteland, and the food produced could barely support the consumption on the road except for enough food for themselves, and the rest of the food was upside down by Zhao State.

But for the sake of long-term interests, Zhao Guo can only choose this.

The Hetao that had just been beaten down had not been transformed into fertile land, and even if Zhao had purchased a large amount of grain and grass from Qi and Chu, it would only be just enough.

"Thank you." After Zhao Kuo finished reading, he got up and saluted.

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute.

"How was it handled when you moved? Didn't cause public resentment, right? Zhao Kuo asked.

"Because the conditions given by the government are very good, in the past few years, not only were taxes exempted, but also cattle were provided, and more importantly, children had the opportunity to receive education. Although many people scoff at this, thinking that if they let their children go to school, there will be one less labor force in the family. But there are still many more people who have a long-term perspective. Offered to migrate to the Loop. ”

"When the ministers found that there were a lot of people who signed up, they did not enforce it, so it did not cause public resentment. However, many people have asked the local government to wait until after the autumn harvest to relocate. After deliberation, the ministers agreed. Lin Xiangru said.

"Is there time to come?" Zhao Kuo asked. Before the winter falls in the north, the migration must be completed, and the houses for the people to spend the winter will be built.

Only in this way will it be possible to start cultivating land as soon as the spring of next year begins.

If the relocation is not completed before the winter, it will be delayed for at least half a year.

"There is no problem with immigration, and when the time comes, the minister will take the people to the Hetao with them. But the house ......" Speaking of this, Lin Xiangru was a little hesitant.

Despite the cement, the Zhao houses were built using rammed earth, which required a little thrashing and had to be completed by several men in the prime of life.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot be built in a while.

As for cement, although it is more convenient, on the one hand, the output is not enough, and it needs to be used to build roads. On the other hand, steel bars are needed to build houses, and the output and quality of steel bars in Zhao Guo are forgotten, anyway, it is impossible to use them to build houses for civilians.
