"How does it feel to govern the side?" On the small road outside Dai County, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu walked side by side.

Li Mu is more mature than before, his personality is also much more introverted, and he has an elegant atmosphere, if he doesn't know people, he will definitely think that this is a civil official, and he will not think that Li Mu is one of the few famous generals in the world.

Although the weather is getting cooler in July, it is only relatively speaking, the day is still bright and the leaves on the side of the road are listlessly hanging on the treetops.

On both sides are neat patches of farmland, green crops swaying gently in the breeze, and the figure with a hat shuttles through the field.

No matter what time of year, there is no shortage of busy figures in the farmland.

The mulberry trees at the top of the field are not stout, and the planting time should not be very long, and there are scattered families not far away, and the houses are not gorgeous, but they are also clean.

Occasionally, dogs bark from the village, causing a series of beeping sounds, as if the Hoops were in a big meeting.

The people of Zhao have the custom of raising dogs, on behalf of horses, Hu dogs, Kunlun jade is known as the three treasures of Zhao State, Hu dogs can be juxtaposed with war horses, Kunlun jade, and the status can be seen.

In addition to herding and hunting, dogs can also play a certain role in the military.

Mozi once recorded in the book that the way to use dogs to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels was to dig tunnels in the city, and put a dog in each tunnel, and the barking of the dog meant that there were people.

In the distance, the green hills were undulating and lush, and groups of people in coarse cloth clothes were busy in the mountains, even more than in the fields, and there were many old people and children.

Daijun was the garrison of the Great Wall Army of Zhao State, and a large number of arrows were consumed for daily training.

The trees on the mountain are all good materials for making arrow shafts, and the government has no upper limit on purchase, as many as you want, and you will pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other, and you will never be in arrears.

Although the price is very cheap, in this day and age, it is rare to have such an income.

So hundreds of people poured into the mountains to cut down branches and cut arrowheads.

It's also a shame that there are trees everywhere in the year, and they don't grow much longer when they are cut down, so you don't have to worry about problems such as damaging the environment.

"It's hard. governance, the world is peaceful, and the people are stable. reason, conform to the way of heaven, develop and grow. It's not easy to really do the word governance." Li Mu said with emotion.

It's easy to govern one side, but it's too difficult to really govern well.

The people of the three northern counties of Zhao State are fierce, the people are martial, and they like to compete and be competitive, so it is their responsibility to help the weak and suppress the strong.

When resisting the Huns, after everyone heard the news, they didn't say a word, brought their own dry food, and rushed to the front line on horseback.

Although they don't have to pay like this now, the martial spirit is still intact, and almost all the young men here can ride horses to fight, and even many little girls have mastered a good riding skill.

Many villages here have their own stables, and they ride horses with knives and arrows around their waists.

In the Zhao Kingdom, knives and arrows are not controlled weapons, but armor and crossbows, and daring to hide one privately is a major crime of beheading.

The people of the Central Plains have a phobia of lack of force, and they all hope that the stronger the force, the better, even if it is poor, they must borrow money to buy a weapon and hide it under the bed board in case of emergency.

Later, the weapons of the Zhao State were replaced, and many of the weapons that were retired were sold to the people in addition to casting agricultural tools.

Daijun has the earliest horse farm of Zhao State, is the main source of cavalry of Zhao State, is a bridgehead against Donghu and Xiongnu, and is a bridge connecting Handan and Hetao.

The people of Daijun admired the most about the generals who could fight, especially Li Mu, a young famous general who destroyed the Hun king's horse, and was welcomed by the people of the whole county as soon as he arrived in Daijun.

In the past few years that Li Mu has served as the county guard, whether it is Donghu in the north or Yan in the west, let alone attacking Zhao State, he doesn't even dare to approach the border, and he can hide as far as he can.

Let the people of Daijun feel a sense of pride in being a Zhao countryman, and they have more and more respect for Li Mu.

But......

On behalf of the people, they do not do agriculture......

Li Mu tried all means, even using Guan

Department, dug up a few peasant disciples from Handan, and ordered the compulsory reclamation of wasteland for farming, and set targets for each township and county, but the effect was not very good.

One side of the water and soil to support one side of the people, the county extends in all directions, the north reaches the grassland, the south reaches the Central Plains, the west reaches the Hetao, and the east reaches the Yan country, and the special geographical environment makes the war here almost every year.

The enemy plundered, and the walls of your own side cleared the wilderness.

Before the harvest could be harvested, the planted grain was destroyed by one's own people or enemies.

In addition, the people here are martial and righteous, and the caravans from the south to the north like to recruit guards here, and the Zhao State will also recruit cavalry here every year, so that they can have an income without farming.

Over time, there will be no one to grow food.

It was not until recent years that Zhao vigorously developed agriculture, and as long as all the land that could be cultivated was cultivated, the situation improved.

"Actually, it's beyond my expectations that you'll be able to do this." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Before seeing Li Mu, Zhao Kuo had already inspected Dai County, and compared to the first time he came to Dai County, there had been a great improvement, and the neat farmland was the evidence.

You must know that Zhao Kuo's positioning of Li Mu is a general, or a marshal, rather than a civil servant who governs one side. The reason why Li Mu was placed in Daijun was that on the one hand, an elite army was needed in the northern frontier, and on the other hand, it was to deal with Yan in the future.

Governance is secondary.

But Li Mu did a good job, personally led the people of Daijun to reclaim the fields, set up a caravan, and gave full play to the advantages of Daijun, not only did not cause public resentment, but was supported by the people of Daijun.

Even those top civil servants who personally serve as county guards can only do so.

However, the separation of civil and military affairs in this era is not so obvious, civilian officials do the work of military generals, and it is very common for military generals to do the work of civilian officials, such as Wei Wuji, whether it is internal affairs or leading troops to fight, he is the top in the world.

"Thanks to the help of the county, during this time, the county taught a lot of pastors." Li Mu turned around and nodded at an old man behind him.

This old man Zhao Kuo also knew that he was once a guest of Xinling Jun: Tang Ju.

Zhao Kuo was worried that Li Mu had just governed one side and had no experience, so he sent the experienced Tang Ju to help Li Mu.

But this guy is a bead, and if he moves it, he won't move if he doesn't.

"Sir is a talented man in the world, you should ask for more advice, treat him with courtesy, and don't neglect it." Zhao Kuo is colorful.

"Remember." Li Mu arched his hand and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the county guards the posture of heaven and man, how can the minister be virtuous, dare to speak and teach the county guard." Tang Ju hurriedly waved his hand and said.

When Wei Wuji entered Zhao, he originally wanted to stay in Wei, but then he thought about it, the free meal ticket was gone, and it was not easy for him to stay in Wei alone, after all, he was old and couldn't plow the land, and staying at home would become a burden to his children, so he followed Wei Wuji to Zhao State.

For him, it's enough to have a place to mix rice and eat, and as for *** Houlu or something, don't be delusional.
