The reason for not taking it out is very simple, there are too few people reading books today! Not to mention reading, even eating is a problem. Even if Zhao Kuo lowers the price of paper, pen and ink, and even books, it is still difficult to form a large-scale reading atmosphere.

This is not a problem that can be completely solved in one year, two years, or even ten or twenty years, but is caused by the constraints of scientific and technological productive forces, and is not subject to the will of individuals.

And there are no large-scale scholars, saying that if they want to carry out the imperial examination, it is better to use the nine-product Zhongzheng system!

In short, now that the world is undecided, it is obviously not a good time to implement the imperial examination system.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo also made an ambush, and the so-called opening of the school hall was also in charge of the Ministry of Rites. When there are more people to learn, the rest will just fall into place......

Of course, unlike Zhao Kuo's emphasis on the imperial examination, the people of the Warring States paid more attention to the ceremony.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo ranked the Ministry of Rites in the second position, second only to the Ministry of Officials. It's just that Zhao Kuo's heart is quite disdainful of this so-called Ministry of Rites book.

After all, the only thing that can make Zhao Kuo a little interested in the selection of talents, Zhao Kuo has already arranged for Lu Buwei. The rest of the etiquette matters, as Zhao Kuo in the 21st century, obviously do not pay much attention.

As for diplomacy, now that the Qin family is dominant, the combination of vertical and horizontal has already been played thoroughly, that is, Zhang Yi's resurrection, I'm afraid there is nothing to play. What's more, the tone set by Zhao Kuo for Zhao Guo is "quietly enter the village, don't shoot", under such a foreign policy, its role is naturally only a handful.

But the problem is that Zhao Kuo doesn't pay attention to it, it doesn't mean that others don't pay attention to it! After all, in the minds of the ancients, the word "li" is still very important.

is like Lü Buwei in the audience.

Seeing that the first auxiliary minister, Ping Yuanjun, could concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, naturally he, as one of the ministers, also wanted to concurrently serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Especially Zhao Kuo has already handed over the selection of talents to him.

Lü Buwei had even thought of the words of Shane. But unfortunately, Zhao Kuo's next words directly poured a basin of cold water on Lu Buwei.

"Etiquette and diplomacy are not well versed in the matter. The book of this Ministry of Rites also needs to be found by the plain gentleman. Zhao Kuo said lightly.

When the words fell, Lu Buwei on the side was obviously a little lost. But soon I adjusted back, what's wrong with me? A mere businessman, entrusted by the king to the position of a minister, was not satisfied, and even concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was only under the ministry. When did you become so greedy?

Here Lu Buwei secretly reflected on himself in his heart, but he didn't know that the reason why he was not allowed to concurrently serve as the Ministry of Rites was that Zhao Kuo had a more important appointment to him.

Regardless of the changes in Lu Buwei's psychology for the time being, Pingyuan Jun over there frowned slightly when he heard this, it was not that he had no candidate, but that he could no longer occupy such an "important" position.

The king's inquiry may be sincere, and it is also out of respect for himself, but he is already the first assistant, and he also serves as the secretary of the ministry, and there is a place for the cabinet member waiting for his nomination, if he takes another secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

This is not to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, but to set up the king!

Of course, Pingyuan Jun couldn't fail to answer the king's question, and after a little thought, he replied: "My king, Yu Qing and Weichen have dealt with the envoys of various countries together, which is quite effective. However, with his qualifications, he is still shallow, and he can temporarily serve as the right attendant and temporarily act as the minister. As for the position of Shangshu, it can be temporarily vacant, waiting for people of insight. ”

In terms of Yu Qing's contributions in the process of dealing with Lou Chang and others, the position of a squire is still very suitable. When Zhao Kuo heard this, he also felt reasonable, if all the high-ranking official positions were filled, how could he attract top talents from other countries?

So, Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Pingyuan Jun is very worried. Just as Pingyuan-kun said. ”

After briefly arranging the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Kuo immediately continued: "Third, the Ministry of War, is in charge of the national military guard, the selection and appointment of military attachés, and concise government decrees. However, the major affairs of the country of soldiers are also! It is inevitable that the layman commands the insider, and the selection of important positions such as the secretary of the military department and the squire must be appointed by the general, go through the dangers of the battlefield, and become the merit of victory before they can be held.

Nowadays, Lian Po and General Tian Dan are both the choice of the moment, and the intention of the widow is to take General Lian Po as the second assistant, and General Tian Dan as the secretary of the military department, and the soldiers and horses of the whole country are also in charge! ”

When the two heard this, they naturally did not have any opinions when it came to military affairs.

Of course, for this military department, Zhao Kuo actually did not intend to make him truly the supreme head department of the military, after all, military affairs have their special nature.

It is like the Ministry of National Defense of later generations, although it has a series of functions and powers such as recruitment, establishment, equipment, training, military scientific research, and military rank and salary. But the most important and crucial actual military command is not there.

To put it bluntly, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and of course Zhao Kuo will not hand over his gun.

Of course, at this time, we are talking about the central reform, and as for the follow-up reform of the military system, we may have to wait for the return of Lian Po and Tian Dan and others.

"My king." Although Pingyuanjun didn't want to get involved in military affairs, he still had to do the reminder that he should do. Then he asked: "If General Lian Po and General Tian Dan are transferred back together, how will the troops on the front line be handled?" Qin Guoke is still eyeing him. ”

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he also nodded, obviously, he had already considered this issue, and then said: "What the Plains King is worried about is also what this king is worried about. ”

"However, the widow is more worried about the predicament of a lifetime than the predicament of the moment." Zhao Kuo shook his head and continued: "The transfer of this matter back to Lian Po and General Tian Dan will indeed pose a certain danger in the defense of Shangdang County. But this can also be used as a refining general. ”

"It's an obvious problem, now Lian Po and Tian Dan are still there, even if there is anything abnormal in the party, the two veterans can set off at any time to clean up the stall, but if they wait a few more years, the two veterans will no longer be able to wield their swords and can't ride a war horse, and then they will want to replace them, it will be too late." Zhao Kuo continued: "I'd rather have some difficulties and dangers now than be young and yellow in the coming year. ”

Hearing this, Pingyuan Jun realized that Comrade Zhao Kuo, the next generation of military core generals of Zhao State, who was already ironclad, had been promoted to King Zhao.

This also means that Zhao Guo continues to look for the next generation of generals.

"I don't know if my king has a will?" Pingyuan-kun asked again.

"Li Mu." Zhao Kuo said without hesitation.

Pingyuanjun, who heard this, was shocked again, it was not a confidant and favorite general like Zhao Wei and Xu Li, nor a battlefield general like Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, but a little-known "Li Mu".

Obviously, Pingyuanjun is still a little unfamiliar with the name Li Mu. Although he had a relationship outside Handan City, he obviously didn't know much about this young man.

But looking at the equally young Lu Buwei sitting opposite, Pingyuan Jun didn't say anything more - the king's eyes have always been vicious, not to mention the military field that the king is best at.

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun remembered the name "Li Mu" deeply in his heart.

After seeing that Pingyuan Jun no longer had any doubts, Zhao Kuo continued: "The fourth is the household department. As the name suggests, the household of the Si Zhao State is also in charge of the territory, fields, household registration, taxation, salaries and all financial matters of the country. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Kuobian looked at Lu Buwei on the side.

And Lu Buwei obviously also felt the eyes of the king, and he was suddenly shocked!

This household department is said to be in charge of the households, but in fact, listening to the words of the king, it is simply the money bag of Zhao State! The king looked at himself, he didn't want to let himself manage this money bag!

Sure enough, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and then said: "Lu Qing, Qing is from a business travel background, and naturally has some opinions about the passage of money and goods. Although the secretary is a minister, he still needs to take on this position! ”

"This!" Lü Buwei didn't know what to say.

Just now, he was still feeling a little "self-pitying" for the king not handing over the Ministry of Rites to himself, but in a blink of an eye, the king actually handed over the money bag of the entire Zhao Kingdom to himself.

Lu Buwei, who was born in a businessman, has always believed that money can communicate with the gods. He knew very well that if the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was only below the Ministry of Officials in terms of specifications, in fact, I am afraid that this Ministry of Household was the second department that really had real power.

And himself, a businessman, is obviously the most suitable. And compared with the Ministry of Rites, this household department is also more able to make some achievements, and when the time comes, ......

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

After sorting out his emotions a little, Lu Buwei clenched his fists with both hands, shook Zhao Kuo is face to the end, and said: "Weichen is determined to be full of his liver and brain, and he lives up to his trust!" ”

Zhao Kuo was also quite satisfied with Lu Buwei's performance, and then helped Lu Buwei up, and then continued.

"In addition, the use of money in the widow's palace must be separated from the household department of the state, so that the kings of later generations shall not abuse the power of the people and the money and food of the households. Therefore, the widow wanted to set up a separate internal affairs office, with one chief and three people, and from then on, all the expenses of the palace should be relatively isolated from the treasury. And the Ministry of Household still exercises the right to supervise the Ministry of Internal Affairs! ”

"As for the position of the head of the Internal Affairs Office, I also want Lu Qing to be a good widow." Zhao Kuo then said with a smile.

"Yes. Wechen is looking for this. Lü Buwei immediately agreed.

Although it was a search, Lü Buwei knew very well that the king's intention was that before the search was good, the Internal Affairs Office was also assigned to him. Of course, Lü Buwei also couldn't ask for it.

"The household, the people." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then continued: "As far as Qin is concerned, the household is farming, that is, grain. But this is not the case with my Zhao Kingdom. Agriculture is the first priority, but heavy agriculture cannot suppress business.

Qing is a business traveler, and he should know the benefits of business travel!

Now Zhao is tired, and the tax is the basis of the national policy, but the benefits of business and taxation are the key to my Zhao country's overtaking of Qin.

Since taking office, the secretary can implement the policy of tuntian on the one hand to enrich agriculture, and on the other hand, he needs to vigorously encourage the development of commerce, and must attract business travel from all over the world.

Tuntian, Hanoi in the past, the new party is the beginning;

Mutual business, starting with the mutual market of Handan and Daijun.

Do you understand? ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei, who was questioned, had not yet spoken, and Pingyuan Jun on the side was not happy first......

Some people died, but not completely......
