Liu Ping was still a little worried in his heart, but he also understood that this was Zhao Guo's last time.

Although the strength of the Zhao State is strong, it does not have a crushing advantage over the countries, so the countries are not too worried, and they are even uniting with the Zhao State to fight against the Qin State.

It is because the Qin State has left too deep an impression on all countries in the past few decades. Just like the memories brought to everyone by the Wei State in the early Warring States period.

Although the rise of the Qin State had already begun to emerge at that time, everyone decided to join forces to weaken the Wei State first, considering the threat of the Wei State.

It's the same now, the rise of Zhao is already obvious, but it's more important to abolish Qin first.

After abolishing the Qin State, find a way to abolish the Zhao State.

Zhao must do its best to improve its own strength before all countries react, at least to be able to protect itself, and even counterattack, otherwise the current prosperity will be as short-lived as the original Qi State.

"Leave it to us, we'll get it done as soon as possible." Le Yi said.

After the battle, Le Yi was pulled over to deal with government affairs again.

Of course, he is still relatively good, Tian Dan has not been out since he dealt with government affairs last year.

】

"It stands to reason that before the end of this year, will officials from all over the country go back to the capital to carry out the plan?" Touching the dragon said suddenly.

At the end of each year, officials in various localities write down the budget figures for household registration, land reclamation, and taxes in the areas under their jurisdiction on wooden coupons, report them to the monarch, and divide them into two coupons, with the monarch holding the right coupon and his subordinates holding the left coupon.

The monarch or the minister shall be evaluated, and according to the results of the assessment, they shall be promoted, demoted, rewarded, and punished.

Last year, because Zhao had just ended several years of war, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, and Handan had frequent government decrees, and officials from all over the country were busy with their feet on the ground, and there was no time to return to the capital, so Zhao Kuo canceled the plan and moved it all to the next year, that is, this year.

"I'm afraid the king is planning to announce this when he is in charge." Gongsun Long said.

"That's fine, although the steps are a little bigger, but you can't pull the egg." Le Yi said indifferently.

He has experienced the Hufu cavalry and shooting of King Wuling of Zhao, and he has also experienced the reform of King Yan Zhao, and he has long been used to it.

"It's just this one...... It is forbidden to use living people for burial, and violators will have their homes raided. What do you guys think? Zhao Sheng frowned and said.

Again, the aristocracy did not regard commoners as human beings, let alone slaves, and it was common to use living people to be buried together with pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and it had even become a status symbol.

After the death of Qin Mugong in history, more than 100 ministers, including Dyingxi, Zhongxing, and Needle Tiger, were buried directly.

After that, the Qin State directly changed from a dignified Spring and Autumn Five Hegemon to a second-rate small country, and it took hundreds of years to ease up.

Although the countries are not as outrageous as Qin Mugong, but the use of living people for burial is not uncommon, in addition to the monarch, the queen mother, the clan, the nobles, etc., after the death of the use of living people for burial.

Zhao Sheng, like other nobles, looked down on commoners at all, and it was not until last year that he personally came into contact with the lowest level of the people of Zhao State in Shangdang, and gradually changed his previous thinking and began to attach importance to the common people.

He did not object to the prohibition of the use of living people for burial, but other nobles of the Zhao State would inevitably oppose it, and funeral rites were a major event, and any change would cause an uproar.

"I agree with that." Kong Chuan immediately said, "The ancestor once said, 'Those who are bright weapons know the way of mourning, and they are not available for preparation.'" Alack! The dead use the vessels of the living. Don't you die with it? It is a bad practice to use a living person for burial. To prohibit the burial of the living is to set things right. ”

"The burial of the living will reduce the labor force, cause family breakdown, affect the stability of the country, and if it is like Qin Mugong, it will also lead to a large loss of talents and changes in the national situation. The burial of living people should be banned, both from an individual point of view and from a national point of view. Yu Xin said resolutely.

Hundreds of years ago, Confucianism advocated the prohibition of the use of living burials, but it has not been implemented, and now a monarch has finally taken the initiative to support the completion of this matter even if Confucianism does its best.

As for those nobles, as long as everyone here nods and agrees, they can't make much waves.

The old man agreed. Touching the dragon said.

"In that case, the matter is passed. Just wait until it's time to announce it. Yu Xin said.

The crowd nodded, and there was no objection.

At this time, a guard suddenly walked in and handed a letter to Liu Ping, and everyone's eyes fell on Liu Ping.

Liu Ping habitually checked the seal, and found that after the mud mark was complete, he opened the letter, his eyes swept away, his face instantly became gloomy, the paper became wrinkled and twisted in his hand, nested into a ball, his hands clenched into fists, and trembled slightly. The bruises on his face burst out, and his anger was extreme.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"The State of Qin sent people to rob my doctor Zhao Guo, and so far, three doctors and a doctor have disappeared." Liu Ping said in a deep voice.

This is Handan, the capital of Zhao State, under his nose, he only found out after someone disappeared, it was a great shame.

"Need our help?" Le Yi asked.

"Not for now, I'll open my mouth if I need to." After a while, Liu Ping gritted his teeth and said.

After speaking, Liu Ping grabbed the hilt of the sword and walked outside angrily. "Tell the king the news, and I'll go and solve the matter myself."

……

At the same time, Li Mu finally found Donghu's traces, to be precise, it was Donghu who found their traces.

The terrain on the grassland is gentle, as far as the eye can see, and Donghu is mainly nomadic, divided into large and small tribes I don't know how many, and the entire northern part of Yan is the territory of Donghu.

The tent of the king of Donghu migrated with the pasture, and even the Yan Kingdom could not be found.

Li Mu led the army to look for several days, but there was no trace of the Donghu king's tent, and he suddenly realized that it was not a way to go on like this, the grassland was so big, and the king's tent had no fixed location, even if he looked for a year, he couldn't find it.

So he ordered the scouts to be widely distributed, and as long as they found traces of Donghu, they immediately sent troops to destroy them, leaving only a small number of elite horsemen to spread the news.

They had no way to find the Donghu king's account, and Donghu's own people must have a way to find the Xiongnu's king's account.

Sure enough, three days later, a large army of tribal organizations began to surround the Zhao Yan coalition army, wanting to destroy the two coalition forces, and was finally easily defeated by Li Mu, leaving only a small number of elite cavalry to spread the news.

In this way, the Zhao Yan coalition army encountered one Donghu tribe and killed one, and two killed two tribes, leaving no prisoners.

Finally, the king of Donghu couldn't hold it back, and if it continued like this, the entire Donghu would be killed by Li Mu, did he want him to herd his own in the future?

PS: I wish you all a happy and healthy new year!
