Recently, Handan has been very lively, not only because Zhao defeated Qin, but also because King Zhao was going to hold a meritorious commendation meeting outside the city, which everyone could watch, and it is said that King Zhao would personally award medals to meritorious soldiers.

In the past, this kind of honor was only enjoyed by generals, and it was generally when the monarch was crowned, if he could not be crowned, he was not even qualified as a general, let alone an ordinary soldier.

Nowadays, the boundary between the bottom and the top of Zhao is being broken little by little, and the honor that the upper class can have, the bottom can also have. The upper class can read and write, and the lower level can read and write.

After hearing about it, the surrounding people rushed to Handan, and even some nobles from a distant distance also rushed over, before the Zhao army triumphed, only the nobles of Handan had time to catch their sons-in-law on the side of the road, and now it was finally their turn.

As for looking down on soldiers or something, it was impossible to happen in the pre-Qin period.

The officers and men in the army were even more excited, discussing their exploits with each other, hating why they did not kill a few more enemies on the battlefield.

There are more than 200,000 Zhao troops, and the number of medals is only 6,000, and many soldiers have killed several enemies without getting the opportunity to be awarded, not because they don't work hard, but because others are stronger.

However, they have no complaints, they are originally ranked according to their military merits, from high to low, their military merits are not as high as others, and the quota is naturally someone else's.

What they can do is to kill a few more enemies on the battlefield next time, and strive to let Zhao Kuo personally award them medals.

"The soldiers of Zhao are really brave!" King Qi looked back at the few soldiers who had just stopped and saluted Zhao Kuo, and couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously he was just an ordinary soldier, but he gave King Qi a feeling that he was stronger than his own personal guards, especially the kind of murderous aura that was so strong that it was absolutely impossible to form without experiencing several battles of hundreds of thousands of people.

"Don't look at these as just ordinary soldiers, the amount of money that my Zhao State spends on them can at least support five Qi State guards, not counting the equipment built and the pension for the dead in battle." Zhao Kuo said.

The cost of building equipment before Zhao Guo was very high, that is, the minerals didn't need money in these years, and they could also get money from Wei and South Korea, otherwise Zhao Guo couldn't even afford to build equipment. Later, after several technical improvements, the cost was gradually reduced.

"Do you still want to give a bereavement pension?" King Qi asked curiously.

"Soldiers who died on the front line and have no one to support their children, shouldn't they be given bereavement benefits?" Zhao Kuo asked rhetorically.

"It would be nice not to fight. If there is no war, soldiers will not die in battle, the state will not have to pay pensions, wives will not lose their husbands, and children will not lose their fathers. Then everyone will not have to suffer from war, the people will live in peace and contentment, and the widowed will have peace of mind." King Qi said wistfully.

He has no ambition to compete for hegemony, he only hopes that the world can be peaceful, the Qi people can eat well, and he can be the king of Qi happily for a lifetime.

"You're a good man." Zhao Kuo patted King Qi on the shoulder, and said silently in his heart: But he is not a good monarch.

Most things in the world don't change by personal will, even as a king.

Hundreds of years ago, there were hundreds of princes in the world, but now there are less than ten left, where did those princes go?

It's really nice not to fight, but is it possible?

If it is a peaceful era, the king of Qi may still have a good reputation, but in troubled times, if you don't attack others, others will attack you. Like the weeds on the side of the road, it didn't provoke anyone, but pedestrians who came by would step on it.

Unless one day, it grows into a towering tree.

Even so, there is a chance that someone will cut it down and make it into furniture and a car......

However, Zhao Kuo would not tell King Qi these words, and having a peace-loving neighbor was a good thing for Zhao Guo.

"I think so too." King Qi said with a smile.

"I've heard that you like to kick the juju, so let's compare. You have a team of guards, and a team of guards with you. If you lose, please eat at noon." Zhao Kuo saw that there was a Keju field not far away, so he walked over and kicked Keju to King Qi.

When confronting the Qin army, Zhao Kuo often kicked with the soldiers, and some would be held

The competition stimulates the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"In terms of fighting a widow, he can't compare to King Zhao, but when it comes to jujuing, King Zhao can't compare to a widow." King Qi said with some excitement that when he was in Qi State, he could only play with his subordinates, and even if he won, he wouldn't feel cool, but it was different with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Guo is also the king of a country, and he will not deliberately let him on this, and this is likely to be his only chance to win against Zhao Kuo.

"See you at your feet." Zhao Kuo said.

Soon, the game began. King Qi rushed out first, his sturdy body was like a cheetah, and his usually weak personality was like two people.

"This is forcing you to kick and bow for a while." Zhao Kuo scolded in his heart, but he was not afraid to kick and bow with the soldiers in the army. Moreover, as a transcendent realm powerhouse, he has a natural advantage in this kind of confrontational movement.

There were more and more onlookers, some people recognized Zhao Kuo and cheered for Zhao Kuo, and several Qi officials standing outside saw it, not to be outdone, and cheered for King Qi with their throats.

"Enter!" Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Kuo kicked the ball into the goal, ending the game.

"The widow bows to the wind." King Qi walked over and said convincingly.

He had already worked hard to score, but in the end he was still one less than Zhao Kuo.

"King Qi has won the prize." Zhao Kuo said.

"King Zhao usually has to deal with state affairs and lead troops to fight, does he still have time to kick Keju?" On the way back, King Qi couldn't help but ask, he always felt that Zhao Kuo was an extremely diligent monarch, the kind who started to deal with government affairs before dawn, otherwise Zhao Guo would not be so strong.

Now he suddenly realized that his previous thoughts seemed to be wrong, and they were very wrong.

Just Zhao Kuo's footwork, that reaction, kicking Juju is probably not much less than him.

"How long does it take to deal with national politics? As monarchs, we just need to grasp the general direction, and as for those dirty work, don't we have ministers? If we have to do everything, then what do we need the minister to do?" Zhao Kuo said as a matter of course.

King Qi looked at Zhao Kuo excitedly, this is a confidant.

He has always thought so, but no one understands it, the governance of Qi is not good, obviously those waste ministers are not good, why should he be responsible for this pot.

"All state affairs and family affairs are given to the secretary, and interesting things and happy things are given to me. Aren't we blessed to be kings? If you can't enjoy happiness, why should you be a king? It's better to be a rich boy. King Qi said yes, right?" Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is so right." King Qi said excitedly, even King Zhao didn't call him anymore, and directly called Zhao Kuo's brother-in-law.

The officials of Qi State wanted to speak again and again, but in the end they still did not speak.

"Let's go, there's a doctor's meeting in front of you? Let's go and see." Zhao Kuo pointed to the front and said.

Every three years, Zhao Guo will hold a physician seminar, invite all the doctors in the world to come to participate, discuss medical skills with each other, Zhao Guo will also give free medical classics to the participating doctors, if there are doctors who can point out the mistakes, they will also get a doctor's reward.

At this time of year, a large number of doctors will do free consultations, and the surrounding people will rush over.

Zhao Guohe had only one purpose, to improve the medical skills of the doctors and accelerate the development of medical skills.

The scale of the last exchange meeting was relatively average, only doctors from the Central Plains participated, and the scale of this exchange meeting was much larger, doctors from all over the world came, and there were even doctors from the Western Regions, bringing a completely different inheritance from the Central Plains doctors.

"Doctor-to-family exchanges? It looks like it's lively." King Qi said curiously.

Since coming to Zhao Kingdom, he felt fresh when he saw everything, and he saw a huge flower bud on the city wall before, and later learned that it was a flower clock invented by the Mo family, which was used for timekeeping.

There are many, many delicious foods, either they have not been seen in the Qi country, or they have not seen the delicious food of the Zhao country, and later the king of Qi learned that the king of Zhao raised a group of cooks to study food.

It is said that in order to eat, King Zhao also built a greenhouse, even in winter

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

King Qi used to feel extravagant, but when he arrived in Zhao Kingdom, he found that King Zhao was much more extravagant than himself.

However, King Qi has always felt strange why no one in Zhao State scolded Zhao Kuo, and many people in Qi State scolded him, obviously Zhao Kuo was more extravagant and mediocre than him.

It's just that the minister of Zhao is very capable and supports Zhao Guo.

On the other hand, the civil and military forces under him are more rubbish than the other.

"It's mainly to improve our medical skills so that we can see a doctor in the future. We are kings for enjoyment, but can it be the same as enjoying twenty or thirty years?" Zhao Kuo whispered to King Qi.

"Of course not." Thinking that he would only be able to enjoy ten years before he died, King Qi suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, he hadn't enjoyed it enough, how could he die!

"Yes. But people are bound to get sick eventually, and many monarchs have died of disease. If we don't want to die early, we have to find a way to improve the doctor's medical skills, and only then can we enjoy it forever. In the past, those kings did not understand and spent all their money on useless places." Zhao Kuo said earnestly.

"What my brother-in-law said makes so much sense, the widow has never felt so thorough. Not only do we have to eat and have fun, but we also have to be healed when we are sick. If you get sick, even the doctor can't save you, and the rest will be in vain." King Qi said excitedly, "The widow also wants to support the development of the doctor, what should I do?"

"Do you know how to heal?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"I don't understand." King Qi shook his head.

"Then you can donate some money to the doctor's family, so that they can accept a few more disciples and buy more medicinal herbs." Zhao Kuo said.

"Okay, the widow wants to donate 10 million, no, 30 million to the doctor." King Qi said loudly.

"King Qi is righteous, and the widow on behalf of the doctor thanks King Qi for his generosity." Zhao Kuo bowed over and said solemnly, this time there was no fraud.

The officials of the Qi State who followed behind almost scolded, are you the king of Qi like this, even if you want to support the development of the doctor, can you support the doctor of our Qi country, and the doctor of the Zhao country is not a hole in the brain?

"Xiangzi, Xiangzi, come here?" Zhao Kuo saw that Xiangzi was instructing a young doctor, and hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Wait a minute." Xiangzi said to his disciple, walked over and bowed, "What is the matter with the king?"

"This is King Qi." Zhao Kuo pointed at King Qi and said.

"I've seen King Qi." Xiangzi bowed slightly, clenched his fists and said, his tone was very flat, as if facing a passerby.

"King Qi has just promised to donate 30 million money to the doctor for the development of the doctor, and the widow wants his son to do a physical examination for King Qi." Zhao Kuo said.

"Thirty million!" Xiangzi's right hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, and the wrinkled old faces were huddled together, trying to bloom into a smiling face, "King Qi is here, it is my doctor's honor, King Qi please come in quickly, the old man will definitely do a comprehensive examination for King Qi." And the old man promised that no matter what problems King Qi has, my doctor will treat King Qi for free."

"The old man is polite." King Qi said with a smile.

"Come, open the middle door to welcome your guests." Xiangzi shouted at the inside, full of energy, and he couldn't tell that it was an old man of seventy or eighty years old.

Soon, King Qi was embraced into the hall by a group of doctors, and at this moment, King Qi felt what it means to hold the moon with stars, which he had never felt in Qi country.

Even if he was the king of Qi, those ministers had never treated him like this.

"Later, there will be three doctors with the best medical skills in my Zhao Kingdom, including the old man, to examine King Qi." Xiangzi said with a smile.

"I'm in trouble." King Qi said politely.

Zhao Kuo sat next to him and looked at it with interest, with a smile on his face.

"Doesn't the king want to check it out too?" Song Zhen stood next to Zhao Kuo and said with a smile.

A few days ago, King Yan was a little uncomfortable, but he went to diagnose and treat it in person, and he had to check King Qi later, plus Zhao Kuo.

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a physician for the three monarchs.

this

I am afraid that most doctors have not experienced it.

"Forget it." Zhao Kuo waved his hand, how can he say that he is also in the transcendent realm, the cold and heat do not invade, and the external evil does not enter, how can he get sick.

"King Qi stretched out his hand." Xiangzi said to King Qi, King Qi obediently stretched out his left hand, Xiangzi put his finger on the pulse, closed his eyes slightly, and after half an hour, changed to his right hand.

After taking the pulse, I basically knew everything, but Xiangzi checked it very carefully, and checked his eyes, tongue, and even his toenails.

After all, if you take other people's money, you have to do a good job.

"King Qi's body is very, very healthy, better than most people." In the end, Xiangzi gave a conclusion.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiangzi, Xiangzi nodded, he was telling the truth and didn't hide anything.

King Qi's physical fitness is indeed very good, his pulse is beating strongly, his tongue coating is normal, and it is not a problem to live to be seventy or eighty years old, and this situation rarely occurs in the monarch.

The monarch has a lot of affairs, and at the same time, he has to deal with the three thousand beauties of the harem, and the situation often occurs when he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

But King Qi is different from most monarchs, he is not false at all, and he is very good.

"Thank you, sir." King Qi was very happy.
