Chapter 420: The Hidden Danger of Zhao State

Zhao Kuo observed the reactions of various officials while eating, and the reason why the lunch was presented in this form was to let everyone see the achievements of the peasants and the Mo family, and on the other hand, it was also to vote on his determination to reform the law.

There must be supporters and opponents among these people, but as long as they do not stand up for opposition at the first time, it will be too late to oppose the new policy when it is implemented.

"The main problem is grain production, and we have to stuff a few young people into the farms." Zhao Kuo thought in his heart that if the production capacity per mu doubled, where would he need to be so careful, and he would have to calculate whether there was enough grain for some people, and sometimes he would have to buy grain from Chu and Qi.

Although it can be bought, it is not stable after all, and maybe people will not sell it at some point.

Now Zhao Guo seems to have a good relationship with other countries, but this is only the surface, it is possible to turn his face when he says that he will turn his face, and he can only feel at ease if he eats the grain in his own field.

Although the old men of the peasant family are capable, they are too old, and they are said to be gone, and they must be trained as soon as possible.

Moreover, at present, there are those who study rice, wheat, millet, millet, soybeans, sorghum, cotton, melons, fruits, and vegetables, and they all need people.

"What does the king think of me as an official of the Zhao Kingdom?" Wei Wuji asked suddenly. He saw a lot of acquaintances among these people, some of whom were still his disciples back then, and did not get the opportunity to be reused in the Wei State, but now they finally showed their talents in the Zhao State.

"Be the best in the world." Zhao Kuo had a proud look on his face.

This is not his exaggeration, today, the only one who can compare with Zhao in terms of generals is Qin. But in terms of civil officials, there is no one who can compare with Zhao Guo.

"Don't you think there are too many officials from various countries?" A glint flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes and he whispered.

Due to the recruitment order, the role of Handan Academy, and Zhao Kuo's many poaching, coupled with the attraction of Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng, two of the four princes, and hundreds of schools of thought to recruit students, talents from all over the world continue to pour into Zhao State.

And Zhao Kuo adheres to the principle that even if he raises it for nothing, he will not let other countries get it, and almost no one refuses, and all the benefits are full.

Today, Zhao Guo has half of the middle- and upper-level officials from other countries, ranking the highest in the world. Most of the sacrificial wines and doctors in Handan College are from all over the world.

Although it has the reputation of being a meritocrat, regardless of origin, regardless of country, it has also greatly compressed the upward space of the locals of Zhao State.

In the long run, it is very detrimental to Zhao Kuo's rule.

Zhao Guocai is the basic plate of Zhao Kuo and the cornerstone of Zhao Kuo's rule. To put it mildly, the outsiders were unhappy when they saw Zhao Kuo one day, so they got up and ran away, and Zhao Kuo couldn't stay there.

Although Zhao Guoren may also go to other countries, for most people, unless they are disappointed in the upper class, they will not leave their hometown easily.

If Zhao Guoren is managed by outsiders in turn, even if the outsiders do a better job, everyone will be dissatisfied in their hearts, and part of this dissatisfaction is for Zhao Kuo.

Because all the powers of outsiders are given by Zhao Kuo.

Wei Wuji put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if he was an ordinary Zhao Guoqian, the county commander was from Wei, the county lieutenant was from Qi, the county guard was Korean, the county lieutenant was from Yan, the county was from Chu, and only the townsman was from Zhao, would he be dissatisfied in his heart? Answer: Yes.

If he is a small nobleman of Zhao State, he has been a county magistrate for ten years, and he has worked hard, and finally he was promoted to the county prince, but the county guard is from Wei and the county lieutenant is from Qi.

They didn't work hard for ten years, but they met the monarch through the recruitment order or the recommendation of others, so they got the same opportunity as themselves, will they be dissatisfied in their hearts?

Answer: Yes, yes.

Wei Wuji didn't pay attention to this issue at first, because each country had officials from other countries, down to the county order, and up to the prime minister.

Until just now, I swept over at a glance, good guys, half of them are from the six countries, and those who don't know think that the seven countries are holding a conference together.

What's even more terrifying is that this reform of the official system and the establishment of the county system will create a large number of positions, and many of these positions will also be arranged for officials from the six countries.

As for Zhao Kuo, the inherent thinking of later generations made him ignore this problem, he always thought that the more talents, the better, but forgot the feelings of Zhao Guoren.

"Fortunately, there is a reminder from Xin Lingjun that the widow almost made a big mistake." Zhao Kuo woke up suddenly.

He was still complacent about 'all the heroes of the world in my hands', but now he realizes how stupid he is.

This is Zhao Guo, if there are officials from other countries everywhere, the people will not only be resistant, but even have the idea of confronting the government.

After a long time, there will be an idea that my Zhao people are inferior to people from other countries.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Moreover, this contradiction will intensify in the process of changing the law, and even lead to the failure of the reform.

If Zhao Guo is on the side of the people, talents from all countries will inevitably leave Zhao State. If Zhao Guo is on the side of the officials, the people will be separated from the government.

It is easy to lose the hearts and minds of the people, but it is extremely difficult to win the hearts of the people.

"Xinlingjun is discerning, the old man is not as good." Xunzi sighed, he didn't realize the seriousness of this problem before, and when he saw talents from all over the world, he even had the same feeling of complacency as Zhao Kuo.

Only now has it been discovered that there is a great danger hidden beneath this jar of honey.

"The king and Xunzi are serious." Wei Wuji said.

"I don't know if Xinling Jun has a remedy? The widow can't drive them out. Zhao Kuo said with a wry smile, if he really did this, his reputation would be completely over, and no one would vote for Zhao in the future.

"The previously drawn up promotion list must be adjusted, and officials from six countries must be eliminated first." Wei Wuji said.

"This one does." Zhao Kuo nodded, although the list has been drawn up, it has not yet been issued, and it can be adjusted at any time.

"Then the officials from the Wei State were adjusted to Ye County, the officials from the Qi State were adjusted to Jixi County, the officials from Yan State were adjusted to Hejian County, and the officials from Korea were adjusted to Shangdang County."

"These counties were either once part of the country, or part of it, and the people would have a greater identification with officials from the previous country. At the same time, at least two of the four people, the county guard, the county captain, and the county captain, were Zhao people. At least one of the three county commanders, county officials, and county lieutenants is from Zhao. ”

"The officials from the state of Chu and the rest were placed in industries such as Hetao, salt, iron, and coal, as well as road construction. The people who were willing to go to the Hetao were more active and more receptive to officials from other countries, but they also needed to be managed by the Zhao people. ”
