"Alas, it seems that the State of Chu is indeed out of money." Zhao Kuo shook his head in disappointment, the huge Chu State could only come up with such a small amount of money.

The strength of the feudal lords in various places is too strong, and the king of Chu cannot achieve absolute suppression, and the wealth accumulated by the fiefs from generation to generation even exceeds that of the king of Chu, but the king of Chu has nothing to do with them.

This is the disadvantage of the sub-envelope system.

The Zhou Dynasty rose and fell because of him.

Because of him, the state of Chu became the largest country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and also because of him, it became the most backward country in the system in the late Warring States period.

"Has the news of the fiefdom been moved to the Hetao?" Zhao Kuo asked.

This matter has not been officially announced, Zhao Kuo just asked Liu Ping to secretly spread the news, see everyone's feedback first, and then make a decision.

"Your Majesty, you know everything you need to know." Liu Ping said.

"What's everyone's reaction?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"After receiving the news, most people did not make a clear statement, but secretly arranged for personnel to go to the Hetao for inspection, and a small number of people objected." Liu Ping said.

In this regard, the state of Zhao is much more advantageous than the state of Chu, there are not many feudal lords in itself, and they have not existed for a long time, and they have not formed a deep-rooted force, and there are some nobles who only have taxes, except for collecting some agricultural taxes, they can do nothing, and they are taken back after their deaths.

If it is placed after the Qin Dynasty, this kind of fief can be regarded as a glorious fief. But in the pre-Qin period, it was nothing. It cannot be passed on to future generations, nor can it be arranged for officials to govern, that is, the lake makes people.

Everyone can see that now is not the Spring and Autumn Period, the fief is not easy to obtain, except for the Chu State, other countries are trying their best to weaken the feudal monarch, and the fief is basically taken back after death, and it is rare to pass it on for more than three generations.

As for Chu State, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it.

Wu Qi reformed and changed the law in the state of Chu, weakened the nobility, and was finally killed by the nobles.

It's not your opponent in the front, and you can't be killed behind the scenes?

Moreover, the feudal monarch of the Chu State is easy to obtain only by the clan, and it is difficult for others to obtain.

Now the nobles of Zhao State have the opportunity to obtain a real fief that can be passed on to future generations, as long as they can farm, normal people will not refuse, it is nothing to be bitter or cold, anyway, don't farm the land yourself.

However, there are many birds and all forests, so many feudal kings always have a few unsociables, and there are almost extinct heirs, who are not interested in fiefdoms at all, just have a place to retire.

"Spread the word a little more and tell everyone that as long as the credit is enough, everyone will have a chance to get a fief. Well, this alone is not enough, let the farmer, the Mo family, and the doctor send people to any place in the Hetao to build a city, and it will be the fief given to them by my Zhao State in the future. Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

"King, if that's the case, I'm afraid the land of my Zhao Kingdom won......'t be enough," Liu Ping said worriedly.

How did the Jin Kingdom perish back then, isn't it that the land was divided, and the Jin clan had no land.

After the founding of the Three Jin Dynasty, he realized this problem, so he has been suppressing the fiefdom of the domestic aristocracy, and once Zhao Kuo opens this opening, it is very likely that Zhao Guo's hundreds of years of efforts will be ruined.

"Don't worry about the fiefdom." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

Others are still worried about the problem of not having enough land, but Zhao Kuo is not worried at all, the world is too big, so big that it is impossible to divide it all.

Although most of them are wild land, it's not that they can't farm, and they have a fief of their own, even if it's a little barren, and working for others is completely different.

On the contrary, population is more important than land, because every fief needs population, and all the countries in the Central Plains together have a population of just over 20 million.

When Liu Ping saw Zhao Kuo say this, he knew that he must be prepared in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

"Your Majesty, the Korean envoy has arrived." Xiao Yu walked in, arched his hand, and retreated outside the hall.

The envoy sent by South Korea was none other than Xiangguo Jang Ping.

Zhang Ping glanced at Zhao Kuo and hurriedly lowered his head.

When I saw Zhao Kuo for the first time, I still awarded the general's seal to Zhao Kuo on behalf of King Han, and Zhao Kuo was still a little young and impatient at that time, bent on rescuing the Zhao army besieged in Changping.

The second time I saw Zhao Kuo, it was when Zhao defeated the alliance of Qin, Qi, Han, Wei and Yan, at that time Zhao Kuo was in high spirits, but there was still a little anxiety between his eyebrows, and he was worried about the development of Zhao State.

Now seeing Zhao Kuo, Zhang Ping seems to see a real king, sitting on the throne and looking at the world, his eyes are extremely sharp, there seems to be lightning and thunder faintly, there is heaven and earth in the palm of his hand, turning his hand for the clouds and covering his hand for the rain, who else can I be.

】

Of course, all this is Zhang Ping's imagination......

Since learning that Zhao Kuo led the Zhao army to easily defeat the Qin army, the strength of the entire Zhao State in Zhang Ping's eyes has become unfathomable, and Zhao Kuo has also become wise and martial.

"The foreign minister pays a visit to King Zhao." Zhang Ping arched his hand and said.

"Gong Zhang, please take a seat." Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said, after Zhang Ping sat down, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I heard that many people in Korea have taken refuge in Qin? I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"King Zhao, there are indeed some officials in my Korea who are inclined to form an alliance with the Qin State, but the king has always refused to do so. Qin State, barbarian also. My allies of the Three Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, how can the Qin State be shaken. Zhang Ping hurriedly said.

Not to mention the purchase of war horses, the current strength of Zhao State alone is not something that South Korea can offend, and South Korea has to rely on Zhao State to resist Qin State.

"My Sanjin has formed an offensive and defensive alliance, so why does South Korea refuse to support Hedong?" Zhao Kuo said.

"King, it's not that I, South Korea, is unwilling to support, it's that the strength of the Qin State is too strong, and I can only be forced to defend all the way to Xuanyuan Pass, and I don't have the strength to support the Wei State. The minister said something unpleasant, even if I support the Wei State in Korea, I am not the opponent of the Qin State. If it weren't for the king's timely support this time, the east of the Wei River and Hanoi would have been obtained by Qin, and even the king of Wei might have ...... I don't dare to bet on Korea. Zhang Ping said with a bitter face.

"Forget it this time, I hope that next time South Korea will not hold back." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, thank you, King." Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder how many war horses South Korea plans to buy this time?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Ten thousand." Zhang Ping said.

South Korea has a small territory, so it doesn't need too many cavalry, and it can't afford to raise so many cavalry.

Last year, Zhao sent people to help Han and Wei each train a cavalry, and the Wei cavalry was abolished by Qin, but the Korean cavalry was not damaged.

Buying another 10,000 horses and training 5,000 cavalry, a total of 10,000 cavalry, is already a lot, and this force is enough to decide the outcome of a major battle.

"Okay, the process is the same as last year, the grain is 95% off, the materials are 95% off, and the money is in full." Zhao Kuo said.

"Yes." Zhang Ping nodded.

"Where's the ploughing cow?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"How much can Zhao Guo sell?" Zhang Ping asked.

Ploughing cattle is different from war horses, war horses consume a lot of money and grain every day, and they can't produce money and grain. But ploughing cattle can produce money and grain, and naturally the more the better.

"Five thousand, five thousand dollars each." Zhao Kuo said.

"Okay." Zhang Ping nodded directly and agreed, without bargaining.

As long as the price of ploughing cattle is not too outrageous, you can earn it if you buy it.
