"No." After Zhao Mu decided to go back, he summoned all his businessmen and began to popularize Zhao's weights and measures.
"The fourth thing is that it snowed heavily all day and night yesterday, and the roads were all covered with ice and snow, which affected the movement of pedestrians and the transmission of information. People must be organized as soon as possible to clear the roads to various places to prevent places from being severely affected and the news not being reported in time. In addition,
Send an order to all localities that if the disaster is serious, they can directly use the grain stored in the government treasury for disaster relief, and then report back." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
Although the snow in Handan was heavy, it had not yet caused a snow disaster. Early in the morning, Bin ran out to have a snowball fight with other children and had a great time. Even Xiao Zhao Zheng, who saw snow for the first time, was very excited and happy.
Rolling in the snow.
But there were neither mobile phones nor televisions in this era. Zhao Kuo didn't know if other places were like Handan.
If it's similar to Handan, it won't have any impact. In the event of a snowstorm, according to the current communication conditions, wait until the problem is discovered, then spread the news to Handan, and several big guys in Handan will discuss it and send people there, damn it.
He was almost dead, so I happened to help collect the body.
What Zhao State lacks most now is population. If Zhao State's territory is fully developed, even more than 10 million people can be fed. As a result, it has just reached 5 million, and there are not enough people to work. Zhao Kuo is reluctant to give up.
Everyone was frozen to death, so they had no choice but to delegate power and let each locality handle it according to the situation to minimize casualties.
"Your Majesty is benevolent," the ministers said, cupping their hands.
"Your Majesty, more and more people have arrived in Handan recently, and Handan is almost unable to accommodate them." Seeing that Zhao Kuo had no intention of continuing, Wei Wuji stepped forward, cupped his hands and said.
The State of Zhao treats workers who come to Handan very well. As long as you pass the preliminary examination and prove that you are not here to eat and drink, you will be assigned a place to live and given a minimum salary, which will at least ensure that you can survive in Handan.
As long as they can make some contribution, the State of Zhao will allocate independent houses to them, arrange maids, increase their salaries, and provide carriages for travel, which is equivalent to taxis in the Spring and Autumn Period.
As for making more contributions, the benefits will be even greater.
For example, there was a shipwright who came from the land of Wuyue and improved Zhao's warships so that the sails could be raised and lowered freely, adjusted in direction, and multiple masts were added. Not only did the sailing become smoother, but the sails could also be adjusted to
quantity to control the speed.
Xinlingjun's passenger ship also had an improved rudder, which could better control the direction of the warship's sailing. The hammer boat stone was also replaced with a copper anchor, which solved the problem of "running away" for large ships.
After the improvement of the two men, the quality of Zhao's warships has been greatly improved, surpassing the former Qi and Yue, and becoming the best in the world.
The disadvantage is that in order to support the two people's ideas, Zhao State smashed all the wood bought from Yue State into it. Currently, he has built one finished warship by himself!
But after the success, everything was worth it. Zhao Kuo directly worshiped the two as Yaqing, compiled the "Shipping Code" together with Ou Yeshou, and announced it to the world. They publicized it and attracted countless workers to Handan, even to the point of being helpless.
Place of placement.
"How many small towns are there near Handan?" Zhao Kuo asked.
There are some small towns near almost every capital city. During the Spring and Autumn Period, they were usually the fiefdoms of the high officials of various countries.
The monarch built a city near the capital and granted it to his ministers to show his favor and make it easier for the ministers to visit the capital.
At the same time, it also has the function of preventing foreign invasion. If the capital is invaded by foreign enemies, these small towns can serve as the first line of defense to prevent the capital from being directly attacked.
However, after the Warring States Period, various countries gradually took back these small towns.
Although Handan was not the capital of Zhao State at first, after Zhao State moved its capital to Handan, four small cities were built nearby to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
"Your Majesty, these small towns have almost been settled." Wei Wuji said helplessly.
He had never expected that so many people would come, and even the four small towns could not accommodate them.
It’s true that people with hundreds of jobs have been suppressed too hard over the years.
Although scholars, farmers, industry and merchants only had different divisions of labor during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they did not reach the level of hierarchy.
But scholars were born into noble families, held power, and were born noble.
The merchants are rich, with endless wealth and many servants.
What do farmers and workers have? They want money but not money, they want power but not power, they want name but not name.
Now that we finally have an opportunity, anyone who is unwilling to accept the status quo will give it a try. Anyway, it won’t be any worse than it is now, right?
What if it reaches great heights?
There are not a few people who hold this idea, and Zhao Guo's propaganda is extremely effective, so everyone with skills flocks to it.
"How about lowering the salary?" Chulong suggested.
Part of the reason why so many people cannot be accommodated is that the treatment provided by Zhao State is too high. If the standards can be lowered, many more people can be accommodated.
"No, if you lower the standards, all the reputation you have gained will be lost." Yu Xin stopped him.
"If we don't resettle them, wouldn't their reputation be even worse?" Kong Bin said.
Everyone immediately stopped talking.
"I have a way, but it requires the king to make some sacrifices." Lin Xiangru leaned over and said.
"It's okay, Qing Lin," Zhao Kuo said.
"Place these talented people in Congtai," Lin Xiangru said.
"What!" Baiguan looked at Lin Xiangru in shock.
Congtai is a place where King Zhao of the State of Zhao went to play and hunt. There are not only exotic flowers and plants, but also many rare and rare animals.
It is similar to Shanglin Garden in Qin State, Snow Palace in Qi State, Liang Huan in Wei State, and Zhanghua Terrace in Chu State.
There are buildings in every country.
Although Zhao State's Congtai is not as big as Qin State's Shanglin Garden, it is still thirty or forty miles in radius, stretching from Handan to the Zhangshui River. It is Zhao State's first-class gardens, palaces, terraces, temples, and pavilions.
Fish ponds, birds and animals, flowers, plants and trees... there are many of them.
A place like this, where outsiders can't even enter normally, how could it be possible for people with hundreds of jobs to live in it?
"It's late winter now, and the flowers, plants and trees in the terrace have long since withered, leaving only a vast expanse of white. The palaces have also been vacant for a long time. In this case, why not let them play their value? When the ice and snow melt in the spring, we can
Build houses near Handan and let them move out when the time comes." Lin Xiangru said.
"This is the king's private residence, how can these people live there?" Zhao Bao said angrily.
"Even if it is the private residence of the king, it is still a dead thing. How can a living person be important?" When facing Qin Wangji, Lin Xiangru did not even take a step back, let alone Zhao Bao.
"If these people are about to die, I will agree with Lin Gong's approach, but there is no need now." Zhao Bao shook his head.
"As long as one of these people can contribute to our Zhao country, it will be worth it to our Zhao country." Lin Xiangru said firmly.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. Just do as Duke Lin said and place the people of all trades in Congtai. If they still can't be accommodated, I will free up the palace for them to live in." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
Of course, it was impossible for him to vacate the palace, otherwise he and his family would live there, but he must show his courtesy to the virtuous corporal, spend a lot of money to buy horse bones, and be eager to seek talents.
Even though he is a man of many talents, I, Zhao Kuo, still value him!
