Chapter 368 A ray of sunshine

As for Lin Hu and Lou Fan, they originally split off and were more hostile to the Zhao State and were more on guard against the Zhao State. Now they had to submit under the pressure of the Zhao State.

At least it is much better than being demoted to slaves and women being married off as concubines like the Xiongnu.

However, as long as the other party did not do anything inappropriate and could just farm or herd herds peacefully, Zhao Kuo would not pay attention to him.

After a few years, the two groups will naturally gradually integrate into the Zhao Kingdom. After two generations, they will forget what Lin Hu and Lou Fan are.

"I understand." Liu Ping nodded. Before that, he had already arranged the matter.

"By the way, we should also pay more attention to immigration matters. If anything happens, we should report it immediately. We also need to build schools as soon as possible." Zhao Kuo said.

This is Zhao Guo's first large-scale immigration, and he has no previous experience. Even if he is fully prepared, problems will arise.

Moreover, the officials, gentry and nobles of this era did not regard the common people as human beings at all. It was not because they were overly squeezed or exploited, but from the eyes of the nobles, they and the common people were completely in the same world.

In their view, the people refer to the nobility, and the lowest refers to the poor families. As for the people at the bottom, the heads of Guizhou are not considered the people, so they don't care how many people die.

The nobles control almost all the wealth and knowledge in the world, while the common people, who account for 90% of the population, have nothing.

When people are poor and have low self-esteem, even if others do not look down on themselves, they will look down on themselves.

In front of nobles, commoners will subconsciously think that they are inferior.

Zhao Kuo didn't want to change everyone's views, and he couldn't.

All he has to do is to let these common people live, preferably live like human beings, and then tear a small hole in the dark clouds that cover the sky of the nobles, so that a beam of sunlight can shine on the common people.

The sunlight may not be that abundant or bright, but at least it can give people hope that after hundreds of years, this hole may become bigger and bigger.

This is enough.

"Teacher... you can have people from other countries, but be careful not to let spies get in, especially from Qin."

This matter is still relatively difficult. It is easy to find out which country you are from, but it is difficult to find out whether you are a spy. The word spy is not written on your face.

If you want to attract talents from other countries, you have to take the risk of spies getting involved.

Fortunately, spies have not yet emerged in this era. Except for the Qin State, which deliberately bribed ministers and arranged spies in various countries, other countries did not do this.

Of course, Zhao Guo wants to be excluded now.

Therefore, Liu Ping only needed to keep an eye on Qin, which was relatively easy.

"I will pay attention," Liu Ping said.

"By the way, is there any news about Li Mu and Qin?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Unlike the King of Qin who only really paid attention to Zhao State not long ago, Zhao Kuo regarded Qin State as a great enemy from the beginning. To be precise, the other five countries together pose no greater threat to Qin State.

"General Li Mu has not sent any information since he entered the grassland. The State of Qin... seems to be recruiting talents recently. King Qin ordered each county within the territory to recommend several talents. It is said that the quality of the recommended talents is directly linked to the performance of local officials.

." Liu Ping said.

"Like Han and Wei, has Qin begun to formally use the imperial examination system?" Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

The prototype of Chaju originally originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States. After the collapse of the Shiqing Shilu system, various countries began to seek breakthroughs, reform the system, and let their ministers and local governments recommend talents, just like the Han Dynasty promoted filial piety and honesty and promoted talents.

However, it would have to wait until the Han Dynasty for Chaju to truly form a system and perfect it.

Now, stimulated by the State of Zhao, in order to compete for talents, all countries have come up with this thing nearly a hundred years in advance. Zhao Kuo also has to admire the abundance of talents in all countries.

"When the list of talents selected by Qin State comes out, give me one immediately." Zhao Kuo said.

"No." Liu Ping nodded. Although the status of the spy he arranged for the Qin State was still very low. He spent money to smoothen the relationship and became a minor official. He was not even an official. However, this kind of thing is not difficult to do. Qin

It is impossible for the country to hide it. When the time comes, everyone in the city will know it and just copy it.

In the main hall, everyone looked at the empty seats at the top, a little dumbfounded. In all these years, they had never seen such a casual monarch.

"Hey, your Majesty was very diligent before..." Yu Xin shook his head and said helplessly.

When the State of Zhao was in dire straits, Zhao Kuo worked from morning to night every day without complaining or feeling tired. At that time, everyone felt that the State of Zhao had welcomed an eternal wise king.

When Zhao Guo got on the right track, Zhao Kuo appeared later and later and left earlier and earlier every day. In the end, he could no longer see anyone...

"Yes, when he was in Shangdang, the king was even more conscientious. He would patrol the military camp before dawn every day, handle military affairs, and would personally bandage the soldiers' wounds and write letters. He would not return to the camp to rest until the moon rose." Lian Po sighed with emotion.

Tao, there is quite a feeling that the past is hard to look back on.

"Okay, let's stop talking now." Wei Wuji said. Everyone immediately stopped and focused their attention on Wei Wuji, "I have something to say. After General Le Yi and General Lian Po returned, they told the soldiers

, in the future, no food will be given out for rewards, only money will be given out. In addition, the rewards will be tallied as soon as possible."

"Okay, we will give it to you within three days." Le Yi and Lian Po nodded. The soldiers did not care whether they gave out money or grain, as long as they did not give out food when food was cheap or when food was expensive.

Money will do.

"After the rewards were distributed, Xunzi was still watching. Anyone who dared to reach out would be executed immediately. The whole family was sent to Monan to open up wasteland. The king said that wheat could be grown there." Wei Wuji said in a deep voice, exuding a vague feeling from his body.

No murderous intent.

He wanted to do this when he was in Wei State, not because he treated the common people as equals, but because corruption and rewards were something that would shake the foundation of the country.

When a soldier continues to work hard and gets nothing, the direction the spear in his hand is pointing is no longer necessarily forward.

Those officials who embezzled the money exchanged by soldiers' lives would not be an exaggeration if they were cut into pieces.

"Haha, don't worry, I will send the students from Handan College directly this time. They have not experienced the baptism of officialdom, and they cannot tolerate sand in their eyes. If they have any problems, they will report them to me." Xunzi sneered.

Before, he thought that he could just ask the soldiers if he had anything to do. As long as the soldiers didn't give feedback, it meant that no reward had been embezzled. After the purge, he was still proud for a long time.

Later he realized that even though he was old and had experienced the ups and downs of the world, he could still be so naive.
