As for beef and mutton, not to mention beef and mutton bones, not only can they be sold to the Central Plains, but Zhao can also purchase them directly and send them to the army to make bone soup for the soldiers. After the bones are cooked, the remaining bone residues are sent to compost
, the piled fertilizer is being sent to the fields.
Nothing is wasted, and the utilization rate is much higher than in their hands.
The main road from Yunzhong to Handan is also open and will be completed by the end of this year, enough to accommodate twelve horse-drawn carriages.
The grain, silk, salt, and wine from the Central Plains can be sold to Yunzhong, and the cattle and sheep, dairy products, leather, etc. from Yunzhong can also be sold to the Central Plains.
People can buy cheaper and more goods. Merchants can make more. Zhao can also get more taxes.
However, although Zhao Kuo described it well, these leaders still had some worries on their faces. They had never experienced such a thing before, and no one knew whether Zhao Kuo was deceiving them.
"By the way, you can try planting grass. In this way, more grass can grow in the land, and you can herd more cattle and sheep, feed more tribesmen, and make more money." Zhao Kuo said.
"Can we grow grass?" Zhanmu asked in confusion.
Doesn’t grass grow in the ground? After eating, you can change to another area to graze. After ten days and a month, when you come back, the grass has grown again. Do you still need to plant it?
"Of course you can grow it. You can grow food, so why can't you grow grass? When the farmers arrive, you tribes can send a few good herders to study with them. After the results are achieved, everyone will be rewarded. It's okay.
Write a book and say it, and people in Zhao will remember your names in the future." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
Some of the younger leaders suddenly breathed a little quickly, with excited faces and bright eyes, as if they had seen the wonderful scenes in the future.
The older ones still have calm faces. They have passed the age of being excited when there are some benefits. As people grow older, they have seen too much. Unless Zhao Kuo puts the benefits in front of them, no matter how good he is, they will
Neither will be excited.
Of course, they will not object, but will try their best to help Zhao Kuo, at least it will not do any harm to them.
"If you remember this, I will definitely do it," Tiege said.
"In addition, I will also arrange for medical personnel to come over to check the cattle and sheep to prevent them from getting sick." Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of it and said again.
There are very few infectious diseases these days, but medical conditions are even more backward. Once a large-scale infectious disease occurs, it is impossible to treat it. The only way is to detect it as early as possible and then isolate all infected animals.
Including plagues in humans, they were all solved in this way until Zhang Zhongjing appeared...
Zhao Guo had large tracts of pasture in the three counties of Yunzhong, and each pasture also had specialized veterinarians. Zhao Kuo didn't know how skilled they were, but when Zhao Kuo saw the strict management system, he knew that they would never dare to be careless.
Zhao Kuo did not intend to take everything into the hands of the state like the Qin State. On the contrary, he would support them accordingly.
"Your Majesty...actually...my subordinates feel that we are more in need of doctors than cattle and sheep." Tie Ge hesitated and said hesitantly.
There was already a shortage of doctors in the three counties of Yunzhong. After the news about "Medical Code" and Handan College came out, the only doctors also went to Handan. The rest were either old-fashioned and unable to move, or their medical skills were really not good and they didn't know how to go.
It's all in vain, and you have to pay for travel, so why not stay here? It just so happens that all the powerful doctors have gone away, and you can be the king.
Zhao Kuo's blood-sucking method not only sucks other countries, but also his own people!
"This king is negligent." Zhao Kuo said. He had only seen doctors from other countries go to Zhao State before, and he really did not notice this. "This king will arrange for some doctors to come over, but the doctors are relatively nervous at the moment. Maybe
There won’t be too many.”
Obviously, this kind of problem exists not only in Yunzhong, but also in other places, but I just didn't tell Zhao Kuo.
But it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to arrange doctors for just one place in Yunzhong. If he does, he must arrange them for every place.
The best way is to let doctors from various places return to their places of origin, and then assign some doctors to areas where there is a shortage of doctors, and give them certain compensation so that they can continue to stay in Zhao.
As for Handan, except for the compilation of the "Medical Classics" and the doctors who stayed in the college to teach, only a small amount was enough.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." All the leaders saluted and said gratefully.
They believe in doctors more than many people in the Central Plains. Even if they are cured to death, they will not blame the doctors, because they have experienced the previous scenes of wizards curing diseases. Nine out of ten can be cured, and the remaining one depends on God's will. In contrast, in the Central Plains,
Doctors are simply god-like beings.
But it's different in the Central Plains. There are legends of miracle doctors circulating in many places. They are the existence of the flesh and white bones of the living dead. In comparison, the old Chinese medicine doctors in the villages are nothing. They can't cure even slightly serious diseases.
.
Although this old Chinese medicine doctor saved a hundred people, people only stared at the person he treated to death.
"Everything requires people. The population of Zhao State is still too small, and there are even fewer talents." Zhao Kuo sighed. Farming, digging coal, mining, building roads...everything requires a lot of labor.
Among them, the most basic farmers cannot move. This is the foundation of the country and must be maintained in sufficient numbers. This can only reduce the number of people in other industries, which seriously restricts the development of Zhao State.
Moreover, many jobs are very dangerous and can lead to death, but you have to do them, otherwise the losses will be greater. Just like building roads and mining, can you not repair or mine? Even if you know it is very dangerous, you still have to do it.
The remaining doctors, farmers, collectors, craftsmen, etc. are in need of literate talents. Needless to say, the literacy rate these days is not to mention. After Zhao State implemented the blood-sucking method, the literacy rate was considered high among all countries.
will be more than five percent.
Literacy here refers to those who can at least write letters independently, and those who can recognize a few words are not counted.
The limited talents are allocated to various industries, and even fewer are available.
Although Handan College has many students, it has just been established and there is still a long time before harvest.
It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. In just a few years or even ten years, education cannot develop at all, and Zhao State does not have the conditions to popularize education.
Not only is it not possible now, at least there is no hope in the short term, unless farmers can increase the output of all grains just like increasing the output of millet, so that most families can have extra money to raise their offspring.
Zhao Kuo suddenly thought that the high-yielding millet recently developed by farmers had been distributed to various places for everyone to plant. After the autumn harvest, it should be able to support some things.
After the banquet, Zhao Kuo sent everyone out of the city. He stood outside the city gate. The setting sun was like fire, dyeing half of the sky red, as if it was soaked in blood.
At the end of the setting sun, there are at least hundreds of thousands of young people there!
