Chapter 429: Outside must first be inside
"Du Wujun is not in a hurry, there will be a chance to fight with the Qin State in the future." Zhao Kuo said with a smile, as the two most powerful countries in the world, Qin and Zhao regard each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, once there is an opportunity to be ruthless, they will definitely not let it go.
Now it's just the calm before the storm.
"The last general just said it casually." Lian Po said.
"Go and bring out all the beef and lamb." Zhao Kuo said to the guards behind him. Chickens, ducks, geese and pigs have just begun to be farmed, and they have not yet formed a scale, and everyone is tired of eating fish and meat.
can only reward beef and mutton, Zhao is still forbidden to kill ploughing cattle, but it doesn't matter if you herd cattle, not all cattle can become ploughing cattle after wearing rings, there are always some resolute and unyielding warriors, who would rather die than be enslaved by humans.
Such would generally be sent to the palace, and if they could not finish eating, they would be rewarded to the ministers or sent to the army.
Moreover, in order to save pasture grass in winter, the pasture must kill a batch of cattle and sheep, except for the nobles who will buy a little, and the rest will be sent to the army.
Soon, a cartload of half-dried beef and lamb was pulled up, and in the middle of winter, there was no need to worry about spoiling.
The soldiers also became excited, even if Zhao Jun raised his salary several times, even if Zhao Feiqi's treatment was the best among Zhao Jun, except for the time in Hetao, it was difficult for them to eat beef and mutton.
"These are all rewards for you, all you have to do is train well and improve your combat effectiveness." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
】
"Hooray, hooray." The soldiers shouted.
"The whole army listened to the order, continued to carry out actual combat training, and the team that won the first place will add an extra bowl of meat at night, and will get a day's vacation tomorrow and can enter the city." Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers shouted, and under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels, they quickly dispersed into small teams and began actual combat training.
"Is there any news from the Qin State recently?" Zhao Kuo asked while watching Zhao Fei's training.
"Nope." Liu Ping shook his head, although the last time Zhao Guo poached some talents from Qin State, Qin Wangji was furious, but Qin Wangji did not take any measures.
The number of grassroots officials in the Qin State was incomparable to that of the other six countries, and even if Liu Ping spent a lot of effort and money, there were only a few people who were finally poached.
The household registration system of the Qin State makes it very, very difficult for everyone to leave the Qin State, and the neighbors will stare at you like a thief, and any disturbance will be noticed.
If the fugitive is captured, the whole family will be reduced to slavery, except for himself.
Therefore, if they are not cornered, almost no one will leave the Qin State.
"What are Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Wei Ran, and Wang Yi doing?" Zhao Kuo asked.
These are the four people who need the most attention in the Qin State in addition to Qin Wangji and Fan Ju, as long as they stay in the Qin State safely, it means that the Qin State has no intention of starting a war, at least no intention of starting a big war.
"Bai Qi has been staying in the manor outside the city and has not shown up, I heard that he is studying. Wei Ran is the same, he has been staying in the mansion, and he rarely goes out unless he is summoned by King Qin. Sima is wrong in his hometown of Xiayang, and the spies can often see him planting vegetables at the door. Wang Yi is training the new army. Liu Ping said.
"It seems that the Qin State has no intention of starting a big war." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Qin Guo stayed honestly, it would not be difficult for Zhao Guo to smoothly pass through the chaotic period of law change, but he was afraid that Qin Guo would turn a blind eye to the mess in the country, and he would also disgust Zhao Guo.
"If the Qin State ignores the chaos at home and forcibly attacks our Zhao State, when the troops in front are defeated, it will be the day of the fall of the Qin State." Zhao Sheng said.
The Qin State has been defeated repeatedly in several years, losing several counties in a row, losing troops and generals, and the military merit system has been severely hit, and Qin Wangji can barely maintain it by destroying the newly acquired Zhangye County of the Yue Clan.
In the past, some people among the old nobles even stood up against military merit and asked to return to the era of the previous Shiqing Shilu.
As well as the economic crisis caused by the defeat, the food crisis, etc., all need time to be resolved.
In addition, Qin Wangji is old, maybe he will collapse at some point, and the courtiers below have also begun to invest in the prince or the prince's grandson.
There are also people who invest in Qin Wangji's other sons.
Prince Zhu's health is not good, in case he dies in front of Qin Wangji, it is difficult to say whether Qin Wangji will pass on the throne to other sons or to his grandson.
High risk means high reward, and there is no shortage of risk-takers.
Although a big victory can suppress all the crises, a big defeat will also detonate all the contradictions, and he would rather spend a few years to resolve these crises little by little.
After watching Zhao Fei's riding training, it was already approaching evening, Zhao Kuo and the three of them returned to Handan by car, and the rest of the army waited until tomorrow to continue to reward.
During the Chinese New Year, there was basically nothing to do except for the army, everything was distributed, although the textbooks have not yet been written, but it is not bad these days, the students have gone home, and it will be a while before they come back.
Zhao Kuo also took this opportunity to relax.
During this period of time, Zhao Kuo's biggest headache was the compilation of textbooks, which was already difficult enough when he first learned it, but now it is even more difficult to teach others, and the most disgusting thing is to explain the principles of certain things.
There are some things that Zhao Kuo can barely explain, and some things that can't be explained at all, so in the end they can only be deleted, deleted, and deleted again, and in the end, all the basic physics adds up to only a thin booklet.
Physics is good, chemistry is even thinner, and all the things that cannot be explained now have become doubts and left to future generations to solve.
Anyway, Zhao Kuo is only responsible for opening up the road, as for how to go, that is the business of future generations!
The textbook for the first grade of basic education has been prepared, except for simple arithmetic, there are only a few simple words, sentences, and stories.
For the entire five years of basic education, only literacy and numeracy were taught.
Learning starts at the age of six, and after five years, it is enough to learn all the common words, as well as basic arithmetic. With this ability, it is not a problem to support yourself, and you can also borrow books from the library to study on your own.
Zhao Kuo can't pave a flat avenue for them, all he can build is a path overgrown with thorns that requires trekking through mountains and rivers, and whether they can get through it depends on them personally.
Moreover, by the age of eleven, civilian families already have to bear some of the family responsibilities, and even in two or three years they will be able to start a family, and even if they don't need money, it is difficult to continue studying.
Because of the lack of scholars, the best of them can also obtain the qualification to stay in school and teach other students.
The printing house outside the city is printing teaching materials, and the Chinese New Year has not stopped, and when the spring of next year begins, schools will be built in Hetao and other places, and the popularization of education in Zhao has officially taken the first step.
