Chapter 392: Problems with Immigration

After sending Wei Wuji away, Zhao Kuo returned to the table, took a sip of tea, and looked motionless at the sunset that was about to sink to the bottom of the mountain.

"King, is there anything wrong?" Liu Ping asked cautiously.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then understood what Liu Ping asked, and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about what to eat at night." ”

"......" Liu Ping.

Although the aristocracy has requirements for eating, and the "Zhou Li" even stipulates what meat each class should eat, and Confucius also said that the meat is not cut properly and not eaten, but it is the first time in the world that a group of cooks like Zhao Kuo have been specially arranged to study and eat.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao was indeed thriving, the people's lives were gradually getting better, and the national strength was steadily improving, it would inevitably be charged with arrogance and lasciviousness.

However, I have to say that Zhao Kuo's practice has indeed greatly improved the level of Zhao Guo's cuisine, and many people reprimanded Zhao Kuo for being extravagant on the surface, and he could build half an army with so much money, but behind his back, he praised Zhao Kuo for doing the right thing.

Everyone is an ordinary person, and no one is immune to the temptation of appetite.

Every time he researches a new dish, Zhao Kuo will ask the chef to cook a little more, and give a little to each of the ministers of civil and military affairs in Handan, not much, but also a little heart. Sometimes this kind of detail is more moving.

"Let's braise the big carp of the Yellow River, I remember a chef who made good carp." Zhao Kuo said, although there is no chili, it always feels bad to eat, but there is no way, he can't send someone to the Americas to find it.

It's an iron pot, vegetable oil or something, the iron pot can melt one, vegetable oil is basically soybean oil, which is scary with low oil yield.

Anyway, at the current cost, soybean oil is impossible to popularize, and can only meet the needs of the upper nobles.

However, the price of soybeans has risen all the way, from only half of millet before, to slightly higher than millet now, making large soybean growers make a lot of money.

According to the plan, the newly reclaimed land in the Hetao will be mainly planted with soybeans in the first two years, which are drought-tolerant, salt-alkali tolerant, and do not eat soil labor, even if they are planted on wasteland, the yield will not be reduced much, and self-sufficiency can be achieved as soon as possible.

After the land has been developed and the water conservancy facilities have been built, millet, rice, or soybeans can be planted according to the conditions of each place. In winter, there is basically no choice but wheat.

The two Cangji brothers also went to the Hetao to explore in person, striving to achieve optimization.

Including the other princes, the hundreds of schools of thought also tried their best to assist Zhao Guo, and if they could do more, they would do more.

Since the Mo, Agriculture, and Medicine families obtained the fiefdom, those who used to paddle no longer paddle, and those who used to contribute more have come out. There were a lot of people in the ring of Handan Academy, and they all went to Hetao.

The ones that were bullstackled before were fake, and the fiefdom was real.

The competition between many schools has changed from talking to who gets the fief first, or who can get the fief for their school.

Zhao Kuo was happy to see this, and drew a line for them, as long as they could meet the requirements, they could obtain fiefs.

And no matter how you toss in the fiefdom in the future, whether it is to realize your ambitions or the idea of governing the country, I will not care, as long as it does not make trouble to the point of complaining about the heavens and the people of the country.

If it reaches this level, Zhao Guo will naturally take back the fiefdom, and you don't have any complaints.

Everyone was naturally very excited when they heard this, and praised Zhao Kuo Shengjun, but Confucianism was not happy, there were many Confucians, there were many factions in it, there were one or twenty factions large and small, and the number of people in any one exceeded that of the peasants, how could a fief be enough?

"The more meritorious service, the more fiefs you get, and there is no cap, but the location of the fief cannot be left to you to choose." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

Confucianism generously said that as long as you can farm the land and live in people, it doesn't matter where you are.

Zhao Kuo smiled in his heart, you don't care, I don't care, when the time comes, draw a map of the world, and click a little bit on a random land, and it will be your fief in the future.

If you Confucianism is too little, it's a big deal to order a few more, and it won't take much trouble anyway.

And I'm not as conscienceless as the Zhou Dynasty, I don't care about anything after the land is given to you, there are people in the court who can still get support, if there is no one in the court, no one cares if it is destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty will also canonize the one who destroyed you.

I, Zhao Guo, have a conscience, as long as you can get there, I can send troops to help you fight down, and you don't have to bother.

Of course, I don't care how it passes.

I heard that the Xunzi faction and the Mencius faction have been arguing about whether sex is good or evil, but Mencius is dead, Xunzi is in the prime of life, and the sex and goodness faction is obviously not Xunzi's opponent.

When the time comes, these two families will be assigned to be neighbors in the same place, and let them quarrel until the end of the day.

Zhao Kuo thought evilly.

As soon as he got up and walked outside, Yu Xin and Touch Long walked over from outside.

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The matter of immigration." Yu Xin arched his hand and said.

After the autumn harvest, Zhao officially began large-scale immigration, and most of the country's energy was also focused on this, and Lin Xiangru personally followed the first team to the Hetao.

"Sit down and talk." Zhao Kuo said immediately.

"It's not a big problem, but it's a small problem. At present, there are four main problems, one is that there are not enough officials, everyone used to stay in one place, and there was nothing to do on weekdays, and officials could still manage it. However, after the migration, various problems continued, and many of the officials had no experience, and it was very troublesome to deal with them. ”

"The second problem is that wild beasts hurt people frequently, and the north of the Taihang Mountains, especially in the Hetao area, is sparsely populated. In the past, when armies passed by, the beasts would avoid the danger when they sensed it, but when a large number of unarmed people gathered, the beasts no longer sensed danger, but food. Even if Lin Xiangru had organized the adult men in each team together and distributed weapons, it would still be difficult to avoid this situation. ”

"The third problem is that Rong Di hurt people, although we defeated Rong Di led by the Xiongnu and captured a large number of prisoners, but there are still many people who fled into the mountains, those people hate my Zhao people to the core, after seeing my Zhao people, they will rush over regardless of it, and two students from Handan Academy died in their hands."

Although everyone in the Zhao State was martial, and almost all adult men had the experience of participating in wars, there was no difference between these exiled Rong Di and outlaws. Even if it is death, you have to take away a Zhao person.

"The fourth problem is that the water and soil are not adapted, but because of the preparations, each team has a doctor to take care of, the biggest problem has now become a small problem, and Xiangzi has already taken his disciples to follow the immigrants to the Hetao, there should be no big problems." Yu Xin said.
