"Are there a lot of people kicking Kemari?" Zhao Kuo glanced at the ring. When the two students saw Zhao Kuo coming, they were even more excited, and their combat effectiveness soared to one hundred and two percent.

"There are a lot of them, and the simple form of confrontation of Keju is very popular with everyone, and after it was transmitted by Qi State, it quickly spread in Zhao State, both nobles and commoners liked it very much, and there were even nobles who specially formed Keju teams to compete with each other." Zhao Sheng said.

Linzi, the capital of Qi State, used to be the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, not only the nobles were rich, but even the common people were also very rich.

Of course, after some entertainment projects are spread, it will naturally cause people to gamble for it, and those who lose will pay a certain amount of wealth to those who win, and this wealth can be anything agreed.

Zhao Sheng's so-called competition is just a more civilized statement.

"Do other countries like to kick the juju too?" Zhao Kuo's heart moved.

"The Qi State used to be the most, but now it is about the same as the Zhao State, followed by Han Wei and Luwei, Chu Yan again, and Qin the second." Zhao Sheng said.

"Linzi is no longer as prosperous as it used to be." Zhan He sighed. When Linzi was at its most prosperous, there were more than 70,000 households living in the city, even Handan is not comparable to it now.

However, everything is like a cloud of smoke, and after the collapse of the building, there is no day to rebuild.

"It's a pity that I didn't see Linzi back then." Zhao Kuo also sighed, but what he thought in his heart was, if Linzi was the same as back then, how could Zhao Guo mix, and where would Handan come from the current grand situation?

Only when Xiongcheng such as Linzi and Daliang collapse, can Handan develop rapidly and surpass them.

"Tell them that they can standardize and regularize the Keju competition, set up certain prizes, and invite a Keju team composed of private people to participate in the competition. When there were more teams participating in the competition, a few people built a venue for them to compete. Zhao Kuo said.

He originally wanted to invite the Keju teams from various countries to Handan to compete, but he thought that Zhao Guo was still changing the law, and too many outsiders would cause turmoil and reduce public security, so he pinched off his thoughts.

Earn this money when the time is right later. 礳

"The minister doesn't recommend this, after all, Keju is just a plaything, and it can't be put on the stage, and large-scale promotion will only make everyone's playthings demoralized, and it will not be good for the reputation of the king." Zhan He said.

"There are millions of people in my Zhao country, but how many people really kick the juju? What's the point of being a plaything? Besides, excessive entertainment will lead to discouragement, and proper entertainment will not only not discourage playthings, but also improve everyone's living standards. Zhao Kuo said.

Of course, there is one more thing he didn't say: make money! Ticket money, advertising fees, clothing, other expenses, and gambling ...... The bookmaker will not lose anyway.

Zhao Kuo's goal has always been very simple, to make money! If you don't make money, how can Zhao develop rapidly. If you don't make money, what will Zhao Guo use to feed an army of more than 100,000.

If you don't make money, how can Zhao Guo give benefits to officials and craftsmen. As long as you get enough money, many problems will be solved.

"It's good that the king knows it, but the minister still thinks that it should be controlled within a certain range. Moreover...... The ministers thought that they should not be so kind to the commoners, and that the king was too kind to them. Shang Jun once said, 'The government is evil for the people, and the people are weak; The government is the pleasure of the people, and the people are strong. The people are weak and the country is strong, and the people are strong and weak. Although the minister disagreed, there was some truth to it. Zhan He bowed his head and said.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning is already obvious. Only by letting the leaders of Qianqian always struggle on the food and clothing line, and being busy for their livelihood every day, can they honestly contribute to the country.

If they are fed, they will think about other things when they are idle, which is not conducive to the rule of the government.

Zhen Zhao Kuo didn't speak, just stared at Zhan He, Zhan He didn't look up, he didn't look up, and after a few breaths, he hurriedly said, "The minister is guilty." ”

"If the widow is not wrong, for the widow, the Qing is also the people, does the Qing mean that the widow is too good to you?" Zhao Kuo asked coldly.

"......" Zhan He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute, could it be that he said that he was not a citizen? What is he, then, not a people?

Do you still want to be a king? If you say that you are a citizen, it is not to admit that Zhao Kuo is too good to you. Everyone in the world knows that the current King Zhao is different from the previous ones, he is too good to the common people, and he used to be a little unbelieving, but today he knows that it is so difficult.

"That's not what I mean...... The king needs to know, promote Mien, fight Mi hatred. Excessive kindness is not exchanged for gratitude, but hatred. When the benefits are issued for the second time, everyone will take them for granted. When one day these benefits are no longer implemented, they don't think about the benefits they have enjoyed for so long, but why these policies are gone. Zhan He arched his hand and said.

Zhao Sheng nodded again and again, these situations exist objectively. 礳

"Mr. Zhan He said two things, one is excessive good. But in fact, my Zhao State did not treat the common people too well, but only abolished the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that originally exploited them, and only kept the agricultural taxes and oral taxes, so that they could support themselves and not be forced to ruin their families. ”

"Those exorbitant taxes should not exist in the first place, and now they are just recovering from what they used to be, so why talk about it? As for some benefits, there are indeed them, but they are all inconsequential. Now that it's been implemented? Why cancel later? Zhao Kuo asked.

"Your Majesty, there is always a time when my Zhao Kingdom is sleepy, and I have to ......," Zhan He said.

"Difficult? No matter how difficult it is, can it be difficult now? You can send it now, but you can't afford it in the future? Unless the monarch is incompetent, and all the officials in the court are corrupt officials, there will never be a phenomenon that they can't even afford to pay this money. Zhao Kuo said loudly.

"Wang, Mr. Zhan He has lived in the academy for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he is also concerned about it just now." Zhao Sheng played a round for Zhan He.

In fact, Zhao Sheng was on Zhan He's side in his heart, because what Zhan He said was the reality, any dynasty that has passed the stage of the fastest development in the early stage will face various situations such as class solidification, declining administrative efficiency, frequent corruption, and insufficient finances.

In terms of national strength, the national strength at the end of the dynasty is far greater than the national strength at the beginning of the dynasty, but if the two fight, the early dynasty can fight a dozen at the end of the dynasty.

Herein lies the reason for this. Of course, it is not wrong that Zhao Kuo said that the monarch is incompetent, and the court is full of corrupt officials.

The problem is yes, yes, there is no way to solve it. No matter how good the system is, it depends on the implementation of people, and if people change, how can the system be exactly the same as the original.

Zhao Kuo didn't know this, but it was impossible for him to use this method to extend the life of the dynasty by cutting expenditures, or cutting expenditures from the beginning, to extend the life of the dynasty.
