By the time the news reached Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo had already rushed back from the Northern Ranch. The group was not so much patrolling on the grassland as it was playing for more than half a month.

The Xiongnu have been wiped out, and Qingzhuang is helping Zhao Guo to build roads and dig coal, which can be called the best labor model. Donghu is also shrinking to avoid conflicts with other forces, not to mention invading the Zhao State, and even the border of the Yan State is far away.

The Ding Ling people in the north retreated further north, giving up the entire desert and the area south of the desert. To the west of the Great Xing'an Mountains, all belong to the Zhao State.

Zhao State could graze from the Hetao and put it all the way to the desert, and no one or any force dared to intrude. horses, oxen, sheep, donkeys, mules, deer...... The whole nine yards.

Zhao Kuo handed over the bloody horses and alfalfa brought by the caravan from the Western Regions to the farmer disciples of the ranch to cultivate, and these two things, especially alfalfa, were related to the future development of animal husbandry in Zhao State.

As for the sweat and blood BMW, it is actually not of great significance to Zhao Guo. It's not that sweat and blood are useless, but the number is too small!

Zhao Guo's horse is not that it cannot be ridden, but it is very suitable for riding. The advantages of Zhao Guoma are high load-bearing and good endurance, making it more suitable for long-distance trekking.

The advantage of sweaty BMW is that it is explosive and fast, and the disadvantage is that it has poor weight-bearing capacity. All battles have to be fought at the end to decide the winner, but not all battles have to go through long journeys.

Therefore, most of the time, sweat and blood BMW is more suitable as a war horse than Zhao Guoma. Coupled with its scarcity, what you can't get is always the best, creating the myth and legend of the bloody BMW in history.

It was not until later that the Mongolian heavy cavalry swept the world in blood, and the disadvantage of sweat and blood horses completely broke out and was pushed off the stage of mythology, no different from other war horses.

The heavy cavalry has little to do with Zhao for the time being, and Zhao is either a light cavalry like Zhao Feicai, or a semi-light cavalry like the Great Wall Army, and the pure heavy cavalry has not yet been formed.

If Zhao Guo replaces all the war horses with sweat and blood BMWs, the combat effectiveness can be increased by half a grade. Of course, this matter is also to be considered.

The caravan bought a total of fifteen stallions from Dawan, plus a pair sent by Dawan, a total of seventeen, and after Zhao Guo, there were fourteen left, even if these stallions were strong, each one was ten, it was impossible to meet the tens of thousands of cavalry of Zhao State.

As for a small number of ordinary sweat and blood BMWs, they are not as good as the local horses with internal energy. This is also within Zhao Kuo's expectations, after all, the sweat and blood BMW is also a horse, and it is not a horse god, it is impossible to get a few, and Zhao Guo took off.

If that's the case, the master of this world will be Dawan. In contrast, the role of alfalfa is much larger, which is the most suitable forage grass for Zhao Guo at present, and there is no one.

Moreover, it is much easier for plants to be popularized than Marco, and if the seeds are thrown down, a large patch will grow in the next year, and it will be popularized in a few years.

With alfalfa, Zhao was able to completely abandon the nomadic way of herding and truly demarcate the area for grazing. With the overtime of Wei Qi and Zheng Guo, the road from Hetao to the grassland has also come to an end, and it will be completely completed by the end of this year, when all the major arteries of Zhao State will be opened, and no area will be cut off.

These arteries mainly solve the problems of transporting troops and grain, logistics and commodity scheduling, and then popularize them to counties and townships step by step, so as to truly solve the problems of people's livelihood, and the people can really feel the convenience brought by the road.

This step has already begun in the Hebei Plain, the Hetao and the mountainous areas have not yet begun, and as for the grasslands, there is no planning yet...... On the way back, I didn't encounter anything that the protagonist often encountered, such as Hu people, soldiers, assassinations, and fierce beasts...... didn't even block the road and shout grievances, Zhao Kuo arrived in Yunzhong County very bored.

Compared with a few years ago, there is less smell of sheep in the clouds and more smoke and fireworks. Rows of houses have replaced scattered tents, and well-groomed fields have replaced lush pastures.

The children in the academy are laboriously practicing writing on paper with a brush and then reading aloud to the teacher.

Since taking refuge in Zhao State, Lin Hu and the people of Lou have lived a life where they can eat well, have clothes to wear, and some children can go to school, which is much better than the previous precarious days.

They didn't have the idea of rebelling against Zhao State, but they couldn't bear to betray the old monarch, so they made some noise.

Now that he has lost the two backbones of Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun, Hu Ren, who has no other thoughts, honestly cooperates with the work of the government.

Although Yunzhong County Shou Hanzhong is not as good as those who are famous in history, being able to achieve the level of county guard is also the essence of Zhao Guo, and he quickly seized the opportunity to infiltrate the power below and hold the entire Yunzhong in his hands.

"The minister is incompetent, so the king himself came and asked the king to punish the crime." Han Zhong greeted Zhao Kuo outside the city, leaned over and said.

No matter what the reason is, he is the county guard in the clouds after all, and he can't get rid of the responsibilities of Lou Fu and Lin Hu.

"Han Junshou, please get up." Zhao Kuo helped Han Zhong up and didn't blame him. Lou Fu and Lin Hu just made some noise, wanting to fight for interests, and it was normal for Han Zhong not to report it at first.

And he has done the best he can within his ability, he has not cheated and cheated, he has not been bad, and in the end he has not caused a bad impact.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Zhong looked at Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun, who were very conspicuous behind Zhao Kuo, and leaned down again, with a bit of mockery in his tone,

"Xia Guan has seen Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun, and they have been taken care of by the two of them over the years." He has been holding back a breath in his heart, everything else in the cloud is fine, and every year because of the things that Lou Fu and Lin Hu made trouble, the rating of the last record cannot be improved, but now seeing the two of them standing behind Zhao Kuo honestly, there is an inexplicable comfort in his heart.

Aren't you two old guys cows? Why don't you continue the cow?

"Don't dare, don't dare, I caused trouble for the county guard before, and I hope the county guard can forgive me and other vulgar people." Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun hurriedly apologized.

Although they are much higher than a county guard in Hanzhong in terms of official title and title, they are far behind Hanzhong in terms of real power and status in the heart of the monarch.

Even if Hanzhong is not from Zhao Kuo's lineage, and it is not comparable to those of them who surrendered, they have nothing but the title of a feudal monarch.

To put it simply, if they sue Han Zhong in front of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo will feel that they have some conspiracy, and then suspect Han Zhong.

If Han Zhong wrote to impeach them, Zhao Kuo would inevitably send an envoy to investigate the matter thoroughly, and in the end, even if nothing was found, he would only reprimand Han Zhong.

Ostensible official positions don't tell the whole story.

"Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun are serious, how can there be a reason in the world for a lower official to forgive a higher official." Han Zhong said.

Confucius said, repay virtue with virtue, and repay grievances with straightforwardness. has been disgusted by the two of them for so long, how can Hanzhong feel comfortable when he goes back without being disgusted?

Generous? Wait until you get hit on the left side of your cheek and reach over your right cheek before saying that. Han Zhong didn't think much of Lou Fujun and Lin Hujun, so how could he show generosity in this matter.
