Chapter 544 The heroes of the Warring States are strange
"I, Wang Yingming, if businessmen come in droves, wouldn't it be that the people will gather more and more." Ping Yuanjun obviously gradually realized the prosperity that commerce would bring to Handan, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Nodding, Zhao Kuo continued: "Although businessmen have their benefits, they also have their short-sightedness, and they may be used by the country, but they cannot be allowed by the state. It is only for profit, not for the wise. Remember it. β
"Yes." Lu Buwei immediately agreed.
After saying all the things in the household department, the rest is much simpler. Zhao Kuo then continued: "Five of the six departments are also the criminal department. As the name suggests, the institution that is in charge of the national penal decree and the review of criminal names can be recommended or self-recommended by hundreds of officials! Or this can be the first vote of the cabinet to propose the bureau, which can be submitted to the list of one master and two subordinates and the widow, and then discussed in the court.
There is only one requirement for a widow, this person should be upright, not close to women, and not greedy for money! β
"Yes!" The two agreed.
Zhao Kuo nodded, and continued: "Finally, this Ministry of Engineering!" The Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Hundred Workers, can be in charge of civil construction, water conservancy advocacy and all things!
Although this department is temporarily the end of all the departments, the widow has great hopes in this department. There are two reasons for this.
First, it is also for the use of the people. The way of planting millet, although the widow is not proficient, but also knows the importance of water, and my Zhao country is located in the north, there are many places with poor water, and there are few places with abundant water, and the fields that are irrigated must be manpowered. If there are ditches vertical and horizontal, or more acres of land can be opened, I don't know how much geometry. There are also apparatus for arable land, and if it can be improved slightly, the income will be generated.
Second, it is also used in the military. This year can be 5,000 soldiers to block the enemy 60,000 in the city and outside the city, the improvement of the stone throwing car can be said to be a great meritorious, if this kind of Seiko also, only one or two, it is enough to change the situation of the battle, which is also the importance of the Ministry of Industry.
In a word, the importance of agriculture can be supplemented by work, and the importance of military affairs can be helped.
Therefore, the widow has high hopes. Although the elected person does not have to be proficient in agricultural work, he must have an inquisitive heart and enterprising intention, and he is not just a self-contained person. β
"Yes." The two agreed again.
At this point, Zhao Kuo has passed the matter of the cabinet and the six ministries. Zhao Kuo can imagine that the two of them who went home must have no sleep tonight.
Rights have always been the best doping.
Tonight, Zhao Kuo obviously fed a lot of stimulants to the two ministers of his humerus.
Of course, there is still a long way to go from idea to practice, from practice to real implementation. And such a big reform of Zhao State obviously did not happen overnight.
At the very least, we will have to wait until all the cabinet members have been assembled before we can start the reform in a big way.
And the two obviously didn't know that political reform was just a part of Zhao Kuo's heart, and military reform would only be greater.
It's just that these things need to be discussed with Lian Po and General Tian Dan.
Immediately, just after Pingyuan Jun and LΓΌ Buwei both left the palace, Zhao Kuo issued orders to many of his generals.
First of all, Li Mu, who was still on the front line of Yan State, after handing over the military power to the deputy general, first rushed to Handan, and then rushed to Shangdang, replacing Lian Po and Tiandan, and continuing to defend Qin;
Lian Po and General Tian Dan, including General Xu Li of Tuntian, also temporarily handed over the military power to the deputy general, and then set off together to return to Handan City;
and Sun Gu, Zhou Qi, and even Chen Xun and other generals who were also summoned to Handan by Zhao Kuo.
Such a large-scale transfer of generals, on the one hand, can be regarded as preparing for the next military reform, on the other hand, it is also more important - the New Year is coming!
And Zhao Kuo's enthronement ceremony was also arranged on this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
According to Zhao Kuo's meaning, he really didn't want to hold this so-called enthronement ceremony, after all, it would not be too late to do it after the unification of the six countries, not to mention, in Zhao Kuo's mind, this ceremony was useless except for costing money.
It's a pity that Pingyuanjun's words still persuaded Zhao Kuo.
"This canon is not for gods, not for blessings and misfortunes, but for the people of Zhao State. Although the Battle of Changping was won, it cost the people and money, the government was empty, and hundreds of thousands of young men died on the battlefield; Although the battle against Yan was won, it was invaded by the Yan army, and many villages and towns along the way were destroyed. The state of Zhao can be described as a turbulent autumn.
Now that our king has ascended the throne, he wants to renew the world, and he must let the whole country of Zhao know about it. Know, then the people's hearts gather, ascend and sacrifice, non-silk book can be replaced, solemn and heavy, in order to show the prestige of my king, the hope of the world. β
Zhao Kuo understood.
In a word, you have to go if you don't want to go, Zhao Guo has not had a good thing for three years, no matter what, this year's enthronement ceremony must be held!
Shall we do it? What else can be done?!
So, Chinese New Year's Eve night, in the city of Handan, there are lights everywhere, laughter and laughter all the time, and there are thousands of empty alleys, cars and roads, the people have already dressed up, talking, laughing, waiting......
Although there is no red carpet, the enthusiasm of the people has already washed away every grain of dust in Handan City.
Rao is Zhao Kuo repeatedly asked to be as simple as possible and not extravagant and wasteful, but this enthronement ceremony was still pushed to an almost unprecedented height by the enthusiastic people.
Not only the people in Handan City, but even many people came from Shangdang, Hanoi, and even Daidi to send their generals to the throne.
Before the night was deep, Handan City was already very lively, and in the palace of King Zhao, it was even more busy.
"How's the garrison going?" Pingyuanjun looked at the scene of lights outside the palace, and asked with joy and a little worry in his heart.
"Lord Shoufu rest assured, everything has been arranged, General Zhao Wei led 300 personal soldiers to guard the king's side, and there are 5,000 troops led by General Xu Li in Handan City to guard the various transportation arteries. On the city tower, tens of thousands of elite soldiers have also been arranged.
When they arrived in the outer city, the last general personally led 3,000 iron cavalry to follow, and Sun Gu and Zhou Qi also led 10,000 troops to garrison the road from Handan to the heavens, ensuring that nothing went wrong. General Li Mu, who was in charge of the enthronement and escort, immediately replied.
General Lian Po and Tian Dan on the side also couldn't stop squinting and touching their beards when they heard this, looking proud of their successors.
Obviously, after the preparations for the enthronement guard this time, the two veterans are also very satisfied with the performance of this rising star valued by the king.
"Is everything ready on the altar?" After receiving a satisfactory answer, Pingyuan Jun immediately looked at Yu Qing on the side, as the future servant of the Ministry of Rites, naturally this enthronement ceremony was handled by him.
"Lord Shousuke, rest assured, the lower official has just returned from the altar, everything is checked correctly, and the time will not be missed." Yu Qing immediately agreed.
Obviously, Pingyuan Jun had already passed the qi with him, and naturally knew that as long as the enthronement was completed this time, the official position of the third rank would be counted. Therefore, Yu Qing can be regarded as taking out all the skills in his body. After all, there can be several beats in life!
"Have all the envoys of various countries arranged?" Pingyuan-kun then asked.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, all the carriages and horses have been prepared, Qin and Chu are in front, Qin is right and Chu is left; Wei and Qi are in the middle, Wei is right and left; Han and Yan are at the end, Han is right and Yan is left. Those who should be guided are ready. Yu Qing replied again.
Obviously, this sequence is also after some thought.
Although the Qin State and the Zhao State are not dealt with, out of respect for their strength, no matter what, the Qin State still has to be placed on the right hand side of the front.
And the state of Chu, which had just signed a mutual alliance agreement with the state of Zhao, naturally wanted to be in a position second only to the state of Qin.
Yan and Han are the weakest, so they are naturally the last, if you talk about strength, Han Zhiguo is the weakest, but Yan Guo has just finished fighting with Zhao Guo, so naturally they are ranked last, and it can be regarded as a little disgusting Yan Guo.
As for Qi and Wei, it was only because Wei still needed to be comforted that they were arranged in the front.
Of course, there is also a very important messenger missing - Zhou Tianzi's envoy. It stands to reason that Zhao Kuo's ascension to the throne and claim to the throne requires the recognition of Zhou Tianzi, and even the gizzard given by Zhou Tianzi is used to sacrifice to the sky.
It's not that Yu Qing forgot such an important matter, it's just that Zhao Kuoli ignored the public opinion and excluded Zhou Tianzi's envoys.
The reason is simple but also very powerful, what is the credit of the Zhou room to Zhao, and what is the use of Zhao? Since it is a ceremony to inform the people, why not be afraid of the week? He is willing to observe the ceremony, but he also gives flesh and is not worthy.
That's what he said, but in fact, Zhao Kuo didn't use Zhou Tianzi's gizzard, but his real purpose was to show Qin Guo. You must know that if the Qin State wants to go east now, there are really not many places to choose......
It's just that Zhao Kuo's change made Yu Qing, who was in charge of etiquette Cheng Xun, have a big head for a while.
However, in the end, there is a perfect solution.
Listening to Yu Qing's words, Ping Yuanjun also nodded with satisfaction.
"Have my king's garments ever been put in place?" Immediately, Pingyuan Jun asked the eunuch in the palace again......
While the ministers were busy in the front hall for the enthronement, Zhao Kuo was sitting in his dormitory a little bored.
is like a girl to be married, with a little excitement, a little longing, and a little worry.
I am excited that what I have been planning for a long time has finally come to the final step; Looking forward to it, but also worried about the days ahead: can Zhao Guo glow with new vitality in his own hands, and can the land of China go to another peak under his own leadership?
Zhao Kuo didn't know, and no one could answer this question for him. Perhaps, the days ahead will still be like the battle of Changping that has just passed, with every step being cautious and walking on thin ice.
But Zhao Kuo did not regret it.
When you come to this world, there should always be a story for future generations to see. Even if the red flag embroidered with the word "Zhao" can't be planted all over the land of Kyushu after all, it will at least bring a little difference to this world.
In the history books thousands of years later, there should be such a stroke:
Pianpian young man, weak crown out of Changping;
Draw the party in the first war, defeat Hu Qi in the second war,
Three battles against the Yan army, called the king in the crisis.
There are many heroes in the Warring States, and it is surprising that it is not bracketed.
Some people died, but not completely......
