Zhao Kuo couldn't help but think that when he was marching, whether it was in the Hetao or through the Taihang Mountain, he did not encounter the situation of wild beasts rushing into the army, but the incidents of wild beasts hurting people occurred frequently.

The beast also bullies the soft and fears the hard.

Unless Zhao sent hundreds of thousands of troops to plow Zhao like a plow, but this is impossible.

Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not, even if it can be done, it is impossible to do it, because there is a necessity for the existence of wild beasts, and once the number of certain beasts decreases sharply, causing ecological imbalance, human beings will also be affected.

And it is difficult to control this with the use of military encirclement.

It is much more convenient to put a bounty on money, as long as the bounty order is issued when the beast is overflowing, and it will be canceled when the scale of the beast is suppressed. As long as the strong man hands in a pair of ears as proof, he can receive the bounty, and the rest can be kept to improve the food or sold.

Moreover, compared to the cost of dispatching an army, the cost of the bounty order is lower.

Zhao Kuo looked at the documents one by one, these documents were all processed, and he only needed to look at them, but there were a lot of types.

"Brother Wang, Zheng Guo has already arrived outside the palace." At this time, Zhao Mu walked in and said.

"Take it to the side hall." Zhao Kuo got up and walked towards the side hall.

"Grass...... Zheng Guo, a grass people, pays a visit to the king. ”

Zheng Guomo is about 20 years old, with a thin face, dark skin, and a pair of bright eyes.

"The widow's middle brother recommended you to the widow, saying that you are good at water conservancy and road construction?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"King Yu, the ancestors of the grass people helped the Wei and Song States to build chasms and deep ditches, the grandfather of the grass people participated in the construction of the river ze, the garden field and the river embankment, and the grass people's father helped Zheng Guo to build the Yingze embankment, and presided over the excavation of ditches to irrigate farmland. Although the grass people have not really presided over large-scale water conservancy construction, they are still relatively confident in this regard. ”

Zheng Guo was a little nervous when he saw Zhao Kuo at first, and after a few breaths, he adjusted his mentality and said without being humble or arrogant.

At this point, Zhao Kuo is basically sure that the Zheng Guo in front of him is the Zheng Guo who built the Zheng Guo Canal in history, and there should not be too many people with this name, and they are proficient in water conservancy, except for the Zheng Guo in history, there should be no one else.

"The widow is going to put you in charge of the water conservancy construction of the Hetao, what do you think?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Today, the one who can compete with Li Bing in water conservancy is Zheng Guo in front of him.

However, there is still a certain gap between Zheng Guo and Li Bing, after all, Li Bing's Dujiangyan is about to be completed, turning the Shu land into ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and Zheng Guo has not yet had any record that can be done.

"Your Majesty, the grass people need to go to the Hetao before they can make a decision." Zheng Guo said with his fists clenched.

"Okay, then the king appointed you as the water official of my Zhao country. You go back to your home and then leave for the Loop in a few days. Zhao Kuo said.

"Grass People...... The minister will not let the king down. Zheng Guo said with some excitement, when Zhao Mu told him to meet King Zhao, he had a hunch that he might be reused, after all, Zhao Guo has been building water conservancy for the past two years, otherwise he would not have come to Zhao from South Korea, but he didn't expect to get so much power just after entering Zhao.

"This king believes in you." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

……

On the other side, Li Si is facing the biggest choice in his life, even more difficult than the decision to leave Chu State.

This matter has to start from more than half a month ago, he was ordered to deal with the matter of loans in various places, this matter is very troublesome, few families are clean in this regard, and if you are not careful, you will offend many people.

However, these were not problems for Li Si, and he handled them well, neither sparing those who were evil, nor causing too much killing.

As for those who hate him, Li Si doesn't care, a group of influential families who are only in this county have been swept into the dust of history after all.

Now let them go just because the Hetao needs to be developed, if he doesn't have a long memory, then he can only make a dead hand.

Therefore, these days have been going well, and according to the process, he will be able to return to Handan in another month or so.

It wasn't until three days ago, when he passed through Linhe County, that a poorly dressed woman rushed out of a village on the side of the road, knelt in front of the frame, and begged to be taken away, followed by two men with sticks, and a group of people approaching in the distance.

If it was before, Li Si didn't say a word, turned around and left, and would definitely not care about these things.

But during this time, he was taught by Lin Xiangru and Xunzi, and he couldn't do this kind of thing.

And when he came to Zhao with nothing, it was Zhao Kuo who attached importance to cultivating him, so that he is today, Zhao Kuo is as kind to him as a mountain, and he can't live up to Zhao Kuo's trust.

So he rescued the woman.

This tube, something big happened!

According to the woman, she was abducted and trafficked into Yanghu, and she escaped today while the guards were not paying attention, but fortunately she met Li Si, otherwise she would have been dragged back and beaten in the end.

If the matter is just that simple, Li Si doesn't have to be embarrassed, just rescue the woman, and then behead the trafficker according to the law.

Although slaves were available in all countries, it was forbidden to buy and sell them to civilians, and if they were discovered, they were all beheaded.

Whether it is Li Si or the local county order, it can be disposed of, and it is not a big deal.

But it's much more than that.

Linhe County is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Zhao Wei and Wei, and it used to be the junction of the four kingdoms of Zhao Wei and Qiwei, and in the Zhao country, it was at the junction of Ye County, Jixi County and Handan County.

The center of the three countries and three counties!

The three-regardless zone is chaotic enough, and Linhe County is even more of the three regardless, and the degree of chaos can be imagined, with smoke and miasma everywhere, and rogue is rampant.

Yanghuli is located at the junction of Zhao and Weiguo, is a famous poor village in Linhe County, with a bad reputation, no woman will marry here, and if a man can't marry a daughter-in-law, he will go to find traffickers, or directly go to abduct and sell it himself.

Once a person is not bound by the law, the ugliness in his heart will be magnified countless times in an instant.

After one person benefited, everyone scrambled to follow suit, and over time, many people in Yanghu started a human trafficker business.

Moreover, Yanghuli is close to Weiguo and has a superior geographical location. Because Zhao is strong and Wei is weak, even if the countrymen are abducted and trafficked into Zhao, Wei Guo will not dare to enter the territory of Zhao to arrest people.

As a result, Yanghu Lake became more and more rampant.

Later, when Zhao heard about this, he sent people to Yanghu to arrest people, but only a few inconsequential people were caught, and the rest fled to Qi and Wei.

As for the joint arrest of the four countries, it is simply impossible.

For Qi and Wei, whether it is the victim or the victim, it has nothing to do with him, why should he care about these things?

Zhao Guo had no choice but to let it go.

As a result, Yanghuli became bigger and bigger, and was no longer satisfied with human trafficking from Weiguo, and began to abduct and sell people between the four countries.

Zhao sent people to arrest and ran to Wei, Wei sent people to Wei, Wei sent people to arrest and ran to Qi, and Qi sent people to arrest Zhao.

Over time, no country is willing to care, and Yanghuli and even the entire Linhe County have become a place to hide dirt and dirt.
