As for the county system, it definitely won't work. People have worked for you all their lives just to get a piece of land. If you just cancel it, how can anyone agree to it?
In history, except for Qin Shihuang who did this, even Liu Bang did not dare to do so. He honestly divided up the feudal states and then found a way to knock them out one by one.
Nowadays, no country has fully implemented the system of prefectures and counties. Including Qin State, all counties and counties are set up in the periphery, and Qi State does not even have a single county.
Zhao Kuo planned to seal all the fiefdoms to the edge areas like Hetao. On the one hand, it could reduce the power of the domestic nobles. On the other hand, it could also use the power of the nobles to develop the newly occupied wasteland. In the future, Zhao's territory would be larger.
, it can also be sealed to other places. There are still many unclaimed places in this world.
Those nobles with fiefdoms may look down on remote areas, but there are still many upstarts without fiefdoms, and there are always people who can take a fancy to them. When Qin, Qi, Jin, and Yan were enfeoffed, which of them was not a ghost place?
, if we don’t continue to strive for the top spot in the future, on the other hand, Zheng Guo, Guo Guo and other countries that were enfeoffed to rich lands have long been extinct for many years, but any noble with a little ambition will not mind this.
The essence of this era is the nobility. Whether it is knowledge or wealth, all are concentrated in the hands of the nobility. None of the hundreds of schools of thought were founded by common people.
They are absolutely willing to sacrifice one generation or even several generations to seek glory and wealth in more than ten generations, just like Tian Qi. While ordinary civilians are still thinking about what to eat tomorrow, they have already begun to seek for the country.
Of course, only nobles who have enough food and drink to live a prosperous life will have such long-term plans. This does not mean that the common people are short-sighted, but that life forces them to consider only three meals a day.
Just like if you put a piece of gold and a piece of steamed bun in front of a person who is about to starve to death, he will definitely choose the steamed bun, even if he knows that gold can buy countless steamed buns.
The so-called choice only seems to have a choice.
"We all obey the king's arrangements." Le Yi and Lian Po said. The hereditary aspect alone made it impossible for them to refuse. As for reclaiming the land, they did not need to do it themselves. Naturally, there were farmers to help them reclaim the land, which was the case in the first few days.
There is just no annual tax. Compared with the long-term benefits, a little tax is nothing.
None of them are short-sighted, and even if they were short-sighted, they would not be able to reach their current position.
"I can only satisfy half of you in terms of population, and you have to figure out a way for the rest." Zhao Kuo is not worried about whether the land can be sealed or not. The land in the world is too big, and it is enough to seal a small piece for everyone.
It cannot be closed completely.
But the population has to be worried. The population of Zhao State is almost constant and will not increase suddenly in a short period of time. Once a large number of people pour into the fiefdom, Zhao State will face the problem of no one available.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
Le Yi and Lian Po looked at each other and nodded. According to the standard of 1,000 households, Zhao Guo rewarded 500 households. If they freed some slaves, it would not be a problem to make up 700, 800 or even 1,000 households, enough to support a building.
small town.
Isn't that what happened to those small countries in the Spring and Autumn Period? Whether they can develop in the future depends on fate. Besides, they can still fight and have the opportunity to obtain more fiefdoms.
The two left.
Zhao Kuo revealed this matter to the two of them, and also used their mouths to see the reactions of others, including those who stayed in Handan.
The period before Zhao Kuo returned to Handan was the time left for them to reflect. Once the matter was finalized, these things could not be changed.
Then, Zhao Kuo organized a small caravan, and the three Huai brothers led them from Hetao along the Juyan Ancient Road to the far west. Zhao Kuo personally sent them across the Yellow River before turning around.
Two days later, Pang Nuan finally came back, and with him came mountains of cattle and sheep supplies. The Huns plundered most of the grassland's wealth, and finally took advantage of Zhao.
Zhao Kuo personally met Ding Ling, a master of falcon training, and left him to stay in Zhao to train falcons.
So far, the War between Zhao and Hun is completely over. At least there are no more traces of the Huns on the entire grassland. Of course, even if there were, they would not dare to show up.
Donghu took the opportunity to invade the territory of the Xiongnu to the west, but Zhao did not give him this opportunity. He immediately sent a large army to the grassland to declare his sovereignty. At the same time, he began to divide counties on the grassland. Donghu was afraid of Zhao's strength and did not dare to provoke Zhao too much. They occupied some grassland far away from Zhao State and did not continue.
"Damn it, cotton has just been discovered and cotton-padded clothes haven't been made yet, otherwise how could these Donghu people have taken advantage of it?" Zhao Kuo said angrily.
Regardless of whether they admit it or not, the Xiongnu's territory... Bah... Zhao's territory is still occupied by Donghu. The grassland is so big that even famous generals are beyond their reach.
"Your Majesty... Donghu sent people here and asked us to release 100,000 prisoners..." Liu Ping walked in.
"I haven't settled the accounts with Donghu yet, but Donghu dared to ask Zhao to release 100,000 prisoners. It seems that the period of peace given to him is a bit long. Send the order and return to Daijun in three days." Zhao Kuo ordered. " By the way, last time I asked you to check the gods Donghu believed in, how was your check?"
"Your Majesty, my subordinates found out that the Donghu believe in the Sirius God, which has similar functions to the Xiongnu God Kunlun, and the Donghu also sacrifices to the Sirius God in March and September every year. Although no one has seen the Sirius God manifest, but According to the intelligence, it can indeed improve Donghu's strength." Liu Ping reported.
"Can you find a way to capture the Sirius God and bring it back to Handan for study?" Zhao Kuo suddenly had an idea in his mind. Although he knew that the so-called god was not a real god, it was still a rare thing. If he could capture it, it would definitely shock the world. .
Moreover, from the perspective of Kunlun God, this improved power is very considerable. Even if it can only be half, or even one-third, effective for Zhao State, Zhao Kuo will be satisfied.
Zhao Guo had worked so hard for so many years and only had two military spirit legions, but one Kunlun God had already built one.
"The Sirius God is intangible and insubstantial. There really is nowhere to attack." Le Yi looked embarrassed. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he didn't care, but to capture the Sirius God alive, it really takes more than just the strong. things to do.
"Your Majesty, this may be a bit difficult for others." Lian Po and Pang Nuan also said that the only general in the army who could kill the Sirius God was Li Mu who held the Great Wall Guards. However, looking at the current Great Wall Guards, it still counts. Alright.
Besides, killing and capturing alive are two different things. Just because Li Mu could kill the Kunlun God doesn't mean he can capture him alive.
"If it doesn't work now, you can think of a way. Maybe it will work in the future. I didn't ask you to come up with a way right away," Zhao Kuo said.
"The two generals must also want the Shesheng Camp and the Xuanjia Army to become a military soul army. If there is no accident, they will have to wait until the end of the year and the moon, and they may not even become a military soul army in their lifetime. But it will be different if they can capture the Sirius God If he is caught, he may become a military spirit army the next day. Even if he is not caught, we will not lose anything."
Zhao Kuo's words were pure deception, but Le Yi and Lian Po were still convinced. They had both seen the Huns ride, and it was through the power of the Kunlun God that they were forcibly promoted to the Army Soul Legion, which meant that the Heavenly The Wolf God most likely has the same effect.
"General, I will go back and think of a solution right now." Le Yi and Lian Po looked at each other and said seriously. Since it can be used to improve their strength, they have to take action.
