Chapter 393: The Novelist
"Don't you have a good idea?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Handan College has recruited a lot of doctors and students, but it is still not enough. As for the problem of the beasts, his subordinates suggested sending a large army to strangle them along the way. As for Rong Di, they are generally haunted by one or several people, and because they are alone, they have no scruples, and they run away after killing people, and it is difficult for even a large army to encircle and suppress them. Yu Xin said.
They can handle other things, but if they want to mobilize the army, they must go through Zhao Kuo, so he has to come over to ask for instructions.
Zhao Kuo was a little silent, Zhao Guo let Rong Di's family die, and Rong Di would naturally take revenge on Zhao Guo at all costs.
For Zhao State, the soldiers were heroes who fought for the country and expanded their territory, while for Rong Di, they were thieves who trampled on their homes and invaded their land.
The so-called hero of the other is exactly what I am a thief.
There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, it can only be said that there are different positions.
And Zhao Kuo, as the monarch of Zhao State, is destined to be impossible to stand in Rong Di's perspective and consider Rong Di.
If Zhao fails, the fate of the people of Zhao will not be much better than theirs, this is a war to the death.
"Let Meng Wu take Le Zhong and Feng Mu to choose a few young people to encircle and suppress the beasts, and by the way, they will also experience it. As for the issue of officials and Rong Di, let Pang Xuan lead the army to escort along the way, plus the young and strong among the people, it is enough to protect himself. During the migration, military management was directly implemented, and everything was done in accordance with the regulations in the army, which also solved the problem of insufficient officials, and returned to normal after the Hetao. Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said.
There is no way to solve the problem of officials, and he can't conjure up so many people out of thin air, and now the selection is too late, so he can only start with the management system, although the military management will make the people complain, but it is only on the way to the migration, and it will be restored after arriving at the Hetao.
After the beginning of spring, some officials from the academy and various localities can be sent over.
However, the number of students that can be drawn from the academy is limited, mainly the priests and doctors of the branches, as well as a small number of noble children, who have enough knowledge and culture before, and many of them have the talent of the county guard.
As for the others, it's a bit far behind.
So far, Handan College has only been established for one year, and many students have just learned to read and write, and if they want to steadily deliver talents to Zhao Guo, they will have to wait at least two or three years.
"Military management? It's a good idea. After listening to it, Yu Xin understood how to do it.
"It's only for a short time." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, got up and walked outside, "By the way, is there enough food?" ”
"The State of Qi and the State of Chu have just brought a large amount of grain, and the minister has already ordered it to be transported to Hetao. From the river into the sea, north into Yishui, west to the Bauhinia Pass, and then from the land all the way to Yunzhong, along the Dahei River and the river, transported to everywhere, the loss is still in the range of bearing. Touching the dragon said.
In the past, the road was not built, the waterway was not dredged, and the grain and grass were transported from Handan to the Hetao, and the loss along the way was more than two-thirds, and there was only one stone left in the three stones of grain and grass to the Hetao, and if it was the Wuyuan Shuo Fang, there might only be six or seven buckets left.
Now if you take the waterway, the road has also been built, even if it is transported to Shuofang, the loss on the road is only fifty percent, and two stones can be transported to one stone, and one stone can be eaten on the road, which is already very good in ancient times.
In the end, the State of Qi could not resist the temptation, and a few days after Wang Sunjia returned, he returned to the State of Zhao with the will of the Empress Dowager of Qi and signed a document with the State of Zhao.
Although the Empress Dowager Qi also doubted the purpose of the Zhao State, no matter from which angle, she could not see the place that harmed the Qi State, not only was there no harm, but it was also of great benefit to the Qi State.
When the Quyuan plough and waterwheel of Qi are popularized and the roads are built, there will be no problem in raising the national strength to a higher level.
The only drawback is that it's a bit expensive, but it's understandable, after all, Zhao Guo wants to make money!
Being able to sell this kind of important weapon of the country to Qi State, the Empress Dowager Qi's vigilance against Zhao State dropped by three points, and her favorability increased a lot, plus Hou Sheng, who received a lot of money from Zhao State, kept saying good things next to her, and Empress Dowager Qi didn't think much about it, so she drove out the envoy sent by Qin State to invite Qi State to fight against Zhao State.
Like the Qin State, the Zhao State did not spend less money in diplomacy, no matter whether the other party was a loyal minister or a traitor, it was always right to spend money, anyway, after destroying the other party, the money came back.
If you can't destroy the other party...... Then it's useless to keep money now, it's just to save money for the enemy.
Moreover, Zhao is now richer than Qin, and it is also happy to spend money, gold and silver treasures are constantly sent, and the ministers of various countries who originally fell to Qin have gradually fallen to Zhao under the impetus of money.
Zhao doesn't need them to do anything, as long as the countries don't make a move on Zhao and leave enough time for Zhao to develop.
"That's good." Zhao Kuo nodded and looked at the sky for a night, "It's getting late, if there is nothing else, the two of you will stay in the palace and go back after eating." ”
"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Xin and Touch Long did not refuse, the food cooked by the chef in the palace was recognized as delicious, and they did not eat it many times, so they naturally would not miss the opportunity.
Several people walked towards the palace, although Yu Xin and Touch Long came by car, but Zhao Kuo did not take the car, and they could only follow behind.
When twilight falls, there are still many pedestrians on the road, and the restaurants on both sides are lit up. The curfew in Handan has been postponed several times, and now it will be curfew at 9 p.m.
If it weren't for the war years, Zhao Kuo even wanted to cancel the curfew, so that the nightlife could really drive everyone's consumption.
Zhao Kuo had just walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and looked at a restaurant not far in front of him in surprise.
It should be said that after everyone is rich, they will naturally pursue spiritual civilization, and there is a family in the restaurant who is telling stories.
The family originated from the barnyard officials, and can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty poetry collectors, who arranged for them to travel around the country to collect folk songs to observe folk customs and political gains and losses, and then implement corresponding policies according to feedback.
Later, the Zhou Dynasty existed in name only, and the poetry collectors gradually disappeared, and the family was born, and they mainly recorded folk street talk and represented the customs of the civilian society.
Among the hundreds of sons, although the family has its own faction, its strength is weak, it is not in the stream, and it is not valued by the world, and it gradually disappears.
Zhou Ye was also desperate, and he agreed when the restaurant shopkeeper invited him. However, the effect is surprisingly good, although it is all street talk from other places, but everyone is very happy to listen to it.
There is no entertainment at night these years, the only entertainment activity is to make children, everyone has nothing to do at night, they can only desperately make children, and the body has long been unbearable.
Now that there is finally a new entertainment project, how can I let it go, and many people have never been out of Handan in their lives, these things Zhou Ye feels boring, but in their opinion, they are very fresh and interesting.
In addition, Zhao Ren is good at wine, and when listening to books, he must order a pot of wine, two side dishes, and even the business of the restaurant is also popular, even at night, it is still full.
