A few days later, Zhao Kuo received two pieces of news again: Qin State, with Wang Di as the main commander, commanded 50,000 troops to attack Yiyang, South Korea.

With Zhang Tang as the main commander, he commanded 30,000 troops to attack Exian County, Chu State.

"A bloody storm is about to be staged in the land of the Central Plains again." Zhao Kuo handed the information to Liu Ping and sighed.

A short period of peace is almost inevitable that a fierce war will break out, and no one will be immune.

"Are we going back to Handan?" An Ning said with some loss, she hasn't gone to the big ranch in the north to take a look.

"Don't go back, I'll go back after the inspection." Zhao Kuo shook his head,

"The Qin State attacked Korea, not the Zhao State." Although the Sanjin were allies, it was impossible for Zhao to take the initiative to send troops to support when Korea did not ask for help.

South Korea took the initiative to ask for help, and Zhao Guo was convenient to open conditions, and then South Korea still owed Zhao Guo a favor. Zhao Guo took the initiative to support not that way, not only could not open conditions, but even might offend South Korea.

Lao Tzu didn't invite you to send troops over, do you have any thoughts about Lao Tzu? An Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Then where do we go next?" ”

"There is a large cattle and sheep processing factory in Jiuyuan, let's go over and have a look." Zhao Kuo said. This is the largest cattle and sheep processing factory in Zhao State, making all processed products related to cattle and sheep, beef and mutton, leather, cattle wool, cow and sheep milk, milk wine, beef tendons, including cow and sheep manure, which are also composted and sent to farmland.

There are also a number of spin-off factories nearby, such as shoe factories, coat and hat factories, brush factories, textile factories, carpet factories, milk wineries, horn comb factories and so on.

Zhao Guo started to do wool sweaters and wool pants a few years ago, there is no technical difficulty in wool spinning, the difficulty lies in how to degreas, but it can be worn without degreasing, but it is easy to be cemented, and it will have a mutton smell and greasy, just like the taste on Hu Ren.

After staying with cattle and sheep for a long time, they all have this smell, and they can't get rid of it no matter how you go. The nobles of the Central Plains naturally don't look down on these if they have high-quality silk, but the nobles and people in the north can't take care of it so much, just keep warm, and care so much?

Therefore, woolen sweaters and woolen pants are still very popular in northern Xinjiang and the middle and lower classes. However, the problem of wool degreasing was solved by a disciple of the public loser a month ago, and by the way, the problem of down degreasing was also solved.

Well, these two questions are actually one. Now this public loser disciple is leading a large group of people to improve, after all, being able to skim and being able to commercialize and popularize are two different things, if the cost is too high, it is better not to do it.

Originally, wool was worthless, so don't let everyone afford to wear it because of an extra program.

"The price of meat and milk here is really cheap." Qinghe whispered. She saw that the meat here was half cheaper than Handan, especially beef, because countries had banned the eating of beef for a long time, even if the Zhao State was now liberalized, most nobles were still reluctant to eat beef, but Hetao had no scruples at all, even some ordinary people could afford to eat beef and mutton.

The milk is even more outrageous, Qinghe saw buckets and barrels of milk being poured into the river, if this scene is publicized by someone with a heart, Zhao Kuo will definitely be swept into the ranks of the faint king.

"Just as it is always more convenient for people along the coast to eat fish, the cheap meat in Hetao and Monan is a matter of course. If even the people of the Hetao can't afford to eat meat, there is little hope for other places. Zhao Kuo said.

His goal was very simple, so that all the people of Zhao State could eat meat during the New Year's holidays. This may seem like a difficult goal to achieve, but it's not.

Zhao has a total population of only more than 5 million, and as long as 5 million cattle and sheep can be raised on the grassland, with an average of one head per person, not only will everyone eat meat every year, but there will also be a surplus.

And that's without counting poultry and fish such as chickens, ducks, geese, and so on. Even if the world is unified, there will only be more than 20 million people, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to destroy Donghu, merge the other half of the grassland, and plan a few large pastures.

Moreover, large pastures do not necessarily have to be built in the north, but can also be built in the south, the south of the Yangtze River in Chu is vast and sparsely populated, and large areas of wasteland are not cultivated, which is suitable for raising cattle and sheep.

If Chu Guo knew that Zhao Kuo had planned to build a ranch in Chu State at this time, he didn't know what his mood was......

"As for the milk being poured out, there is no way to transport it." Zhao Kuo sighed. Although milk can be made into milk wine, but it is too slow, you need to put the milk into a sheepskin bag and stir constantly, a good milk wine needs to be stirred for nearly ten days, time-consuming and laborious, all processes need to be manual.

How many people are there in Hetao and Monan? What's more, most people are still busy clearing wasteland, how can they have the leisure to stir milk wine?

Only when some elderly people and children are fine, they will make some money to subsidize the family. The cattle and sheep factory sends a barrel of milk every few days, and after the time comes, it is enough to hand over a fixed share of milk wine, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the milk with the other.

Anyway, the milk can't be shipped out, and I'm not afraid of people stealing it, the cattle and sheep factory will give a lot more every time, whatever you drink, if you pay more milk wine, you will also give more wages.

Zhao Guo's annual loss of money on cow and goat milk is calculated in billions, and it is said that Zhao Kuo tried to make milk powder before, and then he found out...... After the milk is dried, it is not milk powder, and the shelf life is not long.

Of course, it's definitely longer than fresh milk. If you want to increase the shelf life, you still have to make milk powder or cheese or something, but this thing is not achieved overnight, you can only study it slowly.

"You're still losing money?" An Ning said in surprise.

"What do you think is a loss of money? If you don't make any money, you're losing money. Zhao Kuo said.

"......" The crowd was a little speechless, and it was the first time they heard that losing money was like this.

"The minister found that in fact, even if the people of Hetao do not farm, they can live a good life just by raising cattle and sheep." Feng Qu said excitedly, he is the county commander of this county.

"Although it is okay to raise cattle and sheep, it is still possible to farm the land to make people feel at ease." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, there is a piece of land in my heart after all." Feng Qujian nodded, even he, after coming to Hetao, he opened a small plot of land in the courtyard of the county government to grow vegetables.

After many people learned about it, they praised Xiaofeng County for being diligent and thrifty, but in fact, he didn't think it at all. It's just a habit for him to do this, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees a piece of land that is barren and doesn't plant anything, which has nothing to do with being diligent and thrifty, and not being for the people.

Of course, the people don't think so. In their opinion, as a county commander, he is a good official to grow vegetables by himself.

Feng Quji is also happy to be praised by others, he is not cheap, and of course he is happy to be praised by others.

"It's Huangshi Gong's county in front." Zhao Kuo pointed to the front and said with a smile. After he demoted Li Si, Han Fei, Huang Shigong, and Feng Qujian to Hetao, he did not arrange for a specific county to serve as the county commander, but handed them over to Li Yu to deal with.

The chestnut belly is also wonderful, and instead of separating the four people, the four people were arranged together, and they were given four counties with similar areas and populations for them to govern.

The four young people of about the same age were in the prime of their youth, and even if they didn't say anything, the four of them held their breath in their hearts, and they were determined to leave the other three behind.

But the four of them are all talented, except for Feng Quji, who suffered from his young age and lack of experience, the strength of the other three is not much different.
