Qin Wangji didn't know that Zhao Kuo didn't know that in addition to sending people to burn down the library pavilion, he also planned to dig up his corners, and these talents in the Qin State may not have the ability to go through the heavens and latitudes, but due to the environment, they are definitely the most qualified grassroots officials today.

What imperial power does not go to the countryside? What squire bully? As long as there are enough Qin officials, these are not problems.

"Father?" After a while, Prince Zhu saw that Qin Wangji's mentality was gradually calming down, and he called in a low voice.

"Say."

"Then Zhao Guo also has a library pavilion, since he has done the first year of junior high school, my Qin State has done fifteen." Prince Zhu said in a deep voice.

Qin Wangji did not nod, although what Prince Zhu said was good, but Zhao was not weak, if Qin continued to provoke, Zhao would inevitably fight back, and in the end, one of the two countries would inevitably go to war.

Once the war starts, the Zhao State has the allies of Han, Wei and Chu, and the Yan State and the Qi State are far away from the Qin State, and the Qin State will definitely fall into the disadvantage, and even have the risk of losing the country.

"Isn't there any news from Qi Guo yet?" Qin Wangji did not answer Prince Zhu, but looked at Fan Ju.

"Your Majesty, it's already the third wave of emissaries. Except for the first wave of envoys who were received by the Qi State, the other two waves of envoys did not meet the King of Qi and the Empress Dowager of Qi. Fan Ju arched his hand and said.

In addition to rectifying the country and looking west for the Queen Mother of the West, the greatest effort made by the Qin State was diplomacy.

In this era of the coexistence of the Seven Kingdoms, diplomatic ability is no less important than statecraft and military affairs, because no country is a combined opponent of the other six countries, not even the former Qin State and the current Zhao State.

Since the three kingdoms of Qin and Yan Qi reached a friendly tacit understanding at Zhao Kuo's wedding last year, Qin has been strengthening the ties between the three kingdoms and instigating the relationship between Han Wei Chu and Zhao State.

Of course, Zhao Guo did not do this kind of thing.

Anyway, it just costs some money, and it doesn't have much to lose.

Due to historical reasons and the instigation of Zhao in the middle, Qin's diplomacy did not go smoothly, and the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu still formed an alliance with Zhao and received great assistance from Zhao.

Moreover, Zhao also gave a lot of benefits to the nobles of the Three Kingdoms, so that the nobles of the Three Kingdoms often said good things about Zhao in front of the monarch.

Yan Guo was originally of the same mind as Qin State, after all, Zhao State had been targeting him, and Yan State's only expansion direction was Zhao State, and the two were natural enemies.

However, due to the oppression from Donghu, Yan could only choose to move closer to Zhao.

Qin is too far away, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, although Zhao is a bad neighbor, but when his house is on fire, only Zhao can help him.

The State of Qi now has no ambition for expansion at all, and the Empress Dowager Qi is busy selecting talents and rectifying internal affairs. King Qi is busy swinging rotten, occasionally going to the folk to play around, to see if there are any beauties or something, but people are lustful but not indulgent, although there are many beauties in the harem, but the body is great, eat Ma Ma fragrant, it looks like it can live for a long time.

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager Qi is worried about state affairs, she can't eat or sleep well, and her body is becoming more and more emaciated.

The happiest thing is Hou Sheng, who receives both the money of Zhao Guo and Qin Guo, and does not have to do anything, Zhao Guo gives more money, so he will help Zhao Guo say a few words, and Qin Guo will give more money, so he will help Qin Guo say a few words.

The only real alliance with Qin is the Yue State, which is not only allied with the Qin State, but also with the Zhao State, and from the principle that a friend's friend is a friend, the Qin State and the Zhao State are actually allies......

With the help of the two good people of Qin and Zhao, the prince of Yue led a large army to sweep through Baiyue, and recovered most of the forces that were split after the destruction of Yue State, and continued to fight.

Unlike the trade exchange between Zhao and Yue, Qin was very selfless to Yue, except that because the distance was too far and there was no way to transport soldiers and food on a large scale, other technologies, strategies, and talents were not bad.

Not only did he send people to help Yue Guo formulate tactics to recover Baiyue, but he also sent General Qiang Huai to help Yue Guo fight the first battle and destroy the largest force in the enemy.

The Yue State was able to regain the lost territory so quickly, and the Qin State contributed a lot.

However, the king of Yue was worried that he would be overtaken by the Qin State, so after a battle, he gave off Qiang Huai's military power, and just let Qiang Huai be a staff officer.

Originally, the Qin State did not intend to spare no effort to help the Yue State, but the sense of oppression from the east became stronger and stronger.

Yue Guo also knew that Qin State wanted to use them to contain Chu State when they helped them, but this had no effect on Yue State, and they wanted to restore the country and originally attacked Chu State.

At this point, the interests of both parties are identical.

It's just that the strength of the Yue State is not strong enough now, and it has been avoiding a hard confrontation with the Chu State, and one day, the world will change greatly, and the King of Yue will be able to personally lead an army out of Jiangdong and restore the national Zuo of the Yue State.

"Hey!" Qin Wangji sighed, and there were a few more wrinkles on his face. Today's Qin State is like an eagle covered by a net, although it is powerful, there is no way out around. "Is there any movement in Zhao Guo?"

"There is news from Zhao that King Zhao wants to change the law, but the specific content has not yet been announced." Fan Ju said.

After Qin Yue was arrested, the commander of the Xuanniao Division was replaced by Qin Liu, who was also a member of the Qin clan, and the king of Qin, who was replaced by an outsider, was not at ease. However, due to Qin Yue's unnatural death, many things did not have time to be explained, resulting in the entire Xuanniao Division being in a semi-paralyzed state, and it is still being rectified.

The main news is basically arranged by Fan Ju to be manually probed and transmitted.

"As soon as there is news, immediately arrange for personnel to pass it over." Qin Wangji ordered, he had a hunch that Zhao Guo would definitely make a big move this time.

"No." Fan Ju arched his hand and said.

"How's this year's autumn harvest going?" Qin Wangji looked at Shou Candle. "Do the ploughs and waterwheels work?"

The technical level of the Quyuan plough and the waterwheel is not high, and Zhao Kuo did not plan to keep it secret after taking it out, under the investigation of the Qin State, the eucalyptus platform of Qin Wangji appeared before and after the spring ploughing, and the King of Qin immediately ordered to build, and it was officially used in the pass during the summer ploughing.

"Your lord, according to the statistics of the old ministers, the grain yield of the farmland cultivated with the Quyuan plough is one percent higher than before. More importantly, the plough of our Qin State must be coordinated by two oxen and three people to complete the cultivation. The curved plough can be cultivated with only one ox and one person. It greatly saved manpower and material resources, and the speed of cultivation of the Quyuan plough was faster than that of the Qin plow. ”

"The waterwheel is a sacred object, this year's drought in Longxi and the north of Luoshui, all rely on the waterwheel to maintain production. However, it is also because this drought is not particularly severe, if it is so severe that there is no water in the river, then there is no way for the waterwheel. ”

The irrigation capacity of the waterwheel is not particularly strong, and it is impossible to irrigate like a canal, especially in the drought period, when the river no longer flows, and can only rely on manpower or animal power to rotate the waterwheel, barely providing the crops with the water they need to grow, so that they will not be dried up.

If there is no water in the river, you can only dig wells, and usually at this time you will have to give up part of the farmland, and it is better to starve than to starve to death.

If there is no water in the well...... Then you can only flee the famine.
