This was what Zhao Kuo taught him. Before this, no one had ever considered the value of prisoners from an economic point of view. Those who were more merciful would lock them all up like Le Yi. When the time came to switch to robbers as generals, Nakata would use a single strategy to capture them all.
Cut off the nose.
The more cruel thing is to kill them all like Bai Qi did.
After listening to Zhao Kuo's analysis, Zhao generals changed their previous thoughts one after another. They no longer killed or tortured prisoners, but chose to maximize their value.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Qu Jing leaned over and bowed, and said solemnly. He had never thought about such a simple question before. He suddenly felt that half of his life had been in vain, but when he thought of so many capable people in history,
Even the famous ministers and generals had never thought of it, and Qu Jing was relieved again.
"How do you use this thing? Don't you think it's anything special?" Li Si touched the golden eagle twice, then put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. Except that the carving was indeed lifelike and lifelike, there was nothing special about it.
Of course, with Dong Hu's level, it is very rare to be able to create such a lifelike image.
"Let me try." Yan Ju took it and tried to see if it could be broken. Li Si quickly stopped him, "Be careful not to break it."
"If nothing else, it should be this thing. When General Li Mu took it out of King Donghu's arms, King Donghu's face changed." Cai Ze said with a smile.
"Can this thing change the strength of the entire legion or even the fate of the entire tribe?" Li Si still didn't believe it. If they were just dead objects, if they could have such a big effect, where would living people like them be placed?
"It does contain a lot of power of faith, but I don't know how to use it." Li Mu walked over. The power of the Great Wall Guards was particularly sensitive to Zhu Hu's power, and he could feel it even if it was just a little bit.
"Let's take it back for everyone to study." Cai Ze said.
"That's fine." Everyone nodded.
There are so many talented people in Handan, and everyone can brainstorm and come up with solutions.
…
Zhao Kuo has also been very busy recently and started writing books on mathematics, physics, biology, etc. There is no way, he can only do this, and no one can replace him.
Although mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. are still in their most primitive stages in this era, it is the best period for them to flourish.
There is no inferiority in everything, only good reading, no rotten scholars to rule the world, no laymen commanding the wise.
Countless sages have overcome obstacles and pioneered paths in various fields.
Just like Mozi proved the principle of light propagating along a straight line through a small hole imaging experiment, and defined the concepts of time and space, naming time as "Jiu" and space as "Yu".
In addition to the concepts of optics and space-time, Mozi also conducted some research on mechanics and acoustics, and even made a mechanical bird out of bamboo and wood that could fly continuously for three days.
It is said that Mozi also made a wooden carriage for his mother, and the wooden man drove the carriage. As a result, he carried his mother on it and never returned, so he lost his mother.
However, the sad thing is that two thousand years ago, China was leading all regions in optics, acoustics, etc., but in the next two thousand years, China had no development in optics, acoustics, etc., even worse than Mozi...
If Mozi knew about it, I wonder if he would feel sad for such descendants, or scold him for being unworthy of his descendants.
Nowadays, the Mohist family has long lost its former glory, and no one can fully inherit Mozi's technology. Although there are still drawings, no one can produce Mozi's mechanical bird and wooden carriage.
As for the research on chemistry and biology, it can be said that it is almost zero. The only people who have stayed away from chemistry are the group of alchemists who made alchemy. They finally came up with gunpowder, but unlike Mozi's systematic research summary, those guys were just for refining the elixir.
It was made to look better so that it could be defrauded of funds. It had nothing to do with the research on gunpowder, it was just a coincidence.
Farmers' research on biology is limited to grain, and other aspects are blank.
Not to mention some beyond-the-era things, basic mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Zhao Kuo still has to figure out. There are millions of people in Zhao State, and there may not be any problems in the future.
Another Mozi can come out and push science and technology forward for hundreds of years.
A microscope for research has also been produced. Although the magnification is not too high, it is enough to support the current research. The lenses are polished with crystal. There are only three in the entire Zhao country, and they are in the hands of doctors, Mohists and farmers.
As for the need for higher magnification microscopes in the future, they will have to rely on themselves.
Zhao Kuo is responsible for ushering them in. It depends on them individually how far they can practice.
"Too tired!" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said helplessly.
Even with paper, writing with a brush is still a bit unaccustomed, and it is completely impossible for those people to write as fast as they can.
What made Zhao Kuo even more devastated was that after writing these books, he still had to teach students. After teaching others, they would then be handed over to others, so that he could be the hands-on shopkeeper.
There is no way that after finishing the book, just throw it away and let them study on their own. Those who can learn it are definitely geniuses.
"Ask Mo Feng to find some smart students aged between fifteen and twenty-five." Zhao Kuo said to the guards.
Zhao Kuo decided to write and teach at the same time, so that if there were any mistakes, it would be easy to correct them. After all, it had been so many years since graduation. Although his mental power had been strengthened, his memory would inevitably have some gaps. It was normal for mistakes to occur.
Just as the guard walked out, Song Zhong walked in.
"What's the matter with Mr. Song?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"It's like this, Your Majesty, our research has reached a bottleneck, and we want to... need some corpses for research." Song Zhong said hesitantly. Using corpses for research is still very shocking in this era, and he also took great courage to do so.
Come to ask Zhao Kuo, that is to say, Zhao Kuo has always been very open-minded, and Song Zhong, another monarch, would not open his mouth.
"I almost forgot about this." Zhao Kuo patted his forehead, "The weather was so hot before that it was difficult to store the corpses, so they were all buried. I will inform Li Mu to leave a few corpses and preserve them with ice. In addition, I
I will transfer a few death row prisoners and prisoners there. Losing one death row prisoner is much better than losing our Zhao people."
[It has been running stably for many years, it is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and is used by old bookworms, huanyuan.]
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Zhong bowed down. He was already prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to agree so readily.
"If you have any needs in the future, you can tell me, and anyone who can satisfy me will be satisfied," Zhao Kuo said.
As long as doctors can cure a disease, countless people can survive. Moreover, in the future, Zhao will want to develop southward, and all kinds of miasma and poisonous insects will have to be solved by doctors, so there will be no loss.
"It's really a blessing for my medical family to have your Majesty here." Song Zhong said with great joy.
