After that, Zhao Kuo went all the way north, inspected the coal mines, wineries, and orchards of Shangdang, and finally arrived in Tunliu.

"The King." Feng Ting welcomed Zhao Kuo into the mansion, he knew that Zhao Kuo usually didn't like to drink, so he ordered his subordinates to bring tea and poured a cup for Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo inspected Zhao Guo and did not tell the officials in various places, but he did not hide his traces, and Feng Ting naturally got the news a long time ago.

"The widow has gone all the way, and the people of Shangdang have very much appreciation for Feng Ting's guard." Zhao Kuo said. He didn't lie, due to historical reasons, Feng Ting's prestige in the party was very high, coupled with the post-war reconstruction, Feng Ting personally led the people to build houses, open fields and pave roads, and the people were very grateful to Feng Ting.

"The minister is terrified." Feng Ting hurriedly said. Since the Tian clan became Qi, this kind of thing that was appreciated by all civilians was very taboo, although he knew that Zhao Kuo probably didn't care, but on the surface, he still had to make a sincere and fearful look.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, this king is not a stingy person, if he has political achievements, he has political achievements, and if he has no political achievements, he has no political achievements. This king doesn't care if you buy hearts and minds or anything. Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

Isn't the so-called buying of people's hearts just compared? All officials are corrupt, only you are honest and honest, and the people's will will naturally be yours.

On the contrary, if most officials can be honest and honest and serve the country and the people, can they still buy the hearts of the people?

Even if it can be bought, it will be bought for Zhao Guo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Ting said gratefully. Having served as an official in both South Korea and Zhao Guo, he deeply felt the difference between the two countries, South Korea focused on 'technique', and Zhao Guo focused on 'use'.

When the Korean monarch appoints officials, he must examine whether they are worthy of their name, whether they are competent in their work, whether they are consistent in their words and deeds, and whether they are loyal to the monarch.

There is nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that these things are all used in the shadows. The monarch wants

"Hidden from nowhere"

"Show the world to do nothing", pretend that you can't hear anything, can't see, don't know, and don't expose your desires, wisdom, and goals.

So that the courtiers have no way to guess the intentions of the king, and there is no way to curry favor with them, and there is no way to hide their shortcomings.

The king can hear everything, see everything, know everything, and do it

"Alone"

"Listening Alone"

"Arbitrary." Shen Bu Harm once said

"Those who see alone are clear, those who hear alone are smart, and those who can make decisions are called the lords of the world." In order to prevent ministers from usurping the power of the monarch, Shen Buxian also demanded that officials at all levels should only do things within their powers and not do things beyond their duties.

Anything outside of authority, even if you know it, you can't talk about it. In addition to South Korea, the State of Qin also has this regulation, and it is not known who copied whom.

The final result is that the monarch cannot hear the real opinion, does not understand the real situation, and the officials below are helpless to fight for power and profit.

In short, being an official in South Korea is a very torturous thing, because you don't know where a pair of eyes are staring at you, and you don't know what King Han's little head full of wisdom is thinking.

To put it mildly, King Han sent him to Shangdang, whether he asked him to hand over Shangdang to Qin State, or knew that he would not do this, but would give Shangdang to Zhao State, causing Qin and Zhao to fight, so he sent him, he didn't know.

King Han didn't tell him anything. This is also the reason why he did not return to Korea after the end of the war, but took his family to Zhao.

South Korea is a quagmire, there is no water, and there are many kings. And Qin Zhao Chu is born with a great power heritage from the inside out, Qi and Wei are also trying to recover their peak, even when Yan Guo is fine, they will dream back to Yan Zhao, the difference is that South Korea has never had the demeanor of a big country, either as a junior brother, or on the way to be a junior brother.

At first, he was the younger brother of Wei State, and later recognized Qi State as the eldest brother with Wei State, and then recognized Chu State as the eldest brother in order to resist Qin State, and was put on a turn by Chu State to recognize Zhao State as the eldest brother.

Later, he found out that Zhao Guo was not Qin's opponent, so he decided to join if he couldn't beat it, and recognized Qin Guo as his big brother!

It turned out that Qin Guo was even more shameless than the previous big brothers, and even grabbed his younger brother's territory. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, in addition to South Korea itself, there are six countries left, and five have been the big brother of South Korea, how can South Korea have confidence?

It's a miracle to be able to live until now, if it weren't for the right time every time and recognize the eldest brother quickly, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed a long time ago.

At that time, the Song State was so majestic, it fought the Chu State in the south, the Wei State in the west, and the Qi State in the north, and it was still destroyed. South Korea, like the Song Kingdom, is sandwiched between the big countries, and the only difference is that the left and right sides are doing well.

However, Feng Ting felt that this method was not a long-term solution, and any country of Qin, Zhao, Chu, and Wei was strong, and it was possible to destroy Korea, so it was better to run away as soon as possible.

He is not Qu Yuan, there is no need to get along with himself.

"Before I came to the party, I saw a mother and a robbery, and now the mother has reached the peak of the Gangyuan realm, the strength is no less than that of the county guard, and the art of war and strategy are also integrated in my heart, I only need to lead the troops to fight, and this king will let him graduate from the academy and become a centurion in the army." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"Let the king bother." Feng Ting said with a smile, the two sons are in the army and politics, and the future is promising, and he is very satisfied.

Zhao Guo is a lot stronger than him, but his son is stronger than his son, and he really can't find it, which is also what he is most proud of.

"Feng Zheng is also a leader of his generation, and he has been praised for sacrificial wine many times." Zhao Kuo said.

"When the grandson comes back, the minister must discipline him well." Feng Ting leaned over and said. He understood that Zhao Kuo just picked it up this time, his grandson was indeed the best among his peers, but it was beaten, and there were few people of his age who had not been beaten by him, and even Bin, who was now standing next to Zhao Kuo, had been beaten by Feng Zheng.

"Fights between children don't have to be taken seriously." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, a group of children get along, it's normal to fight and make trouble, sometimes he won't care when he sees it, at most after coming back at night, he tells Bin to practice martial arts well and beat him back next time.

This kind of motivation among peers is far more effective than the advice of elders. After chatting a few words, Feng Ting retired very interestingly.

Zhao Kuo stayed in Tunliu for a few days and then went to Taiyuan County. March 3, Shangji Day. Zhao Kuo sacrificed the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and the ancestors in Jinyang.

After the sacrifice, Zhao Kuo came to Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant. Taiyuan has large coal mines and iron mines, Fenshui passes through the border, water resources are abundant, Zhao Guo in Taiyuan County to build Zhao State's largest steel plant, until the end of last year officially began production.

Previously, Zhao Guo's workshops had been concentrated in Handan, but although there were iron mines near Handan, there were no coal mines, and it took huge manpower and material resources to transport coal from Shangdang and Taiyuan.

Zhao Kuo moved the steel plant to Taiyuan, and the Handan workshop was changed to focus on technology research and development.

"How much steel can be produced per day?" Zhao Kuo asked directly.

"About 5,000 catties." Zhao Zhu said with his fists clenched.

"......" Zhao Kuo was a little speechless, 5,000 catties a day, only more than 900 tons a year, which is equivalent to the daily output of a small steel plant in later generations...... However, thinking of the limitations of the times, Zhao Kuo can also understand that it is already very good to have this result, which has not been like this before.

He is also not a technician, so he doesn't have much to do about it.
