Fortunately, Zhao Kuo led these victims to Mafu, but he rushed to Handan again.
Ge waved his long whip and threw out several beautiful whip flowers. He said with a smile: "You will definitely not be able to see the Lord when you go to Handan now..." Zhao Kuo looked at him suspiciously,
Ge said seriously: "The kings of the Zhao Kingdom were all diligent and caring for the people. If the river flooded as the man said, then the king must have gone to sacrifice..." Zhao Kuo frowned again.
There is indeed such a thing. In order to stop the anger of the river, the king needs to perform pious sacrifices, slaughter livestock, and beg Hebo and other gods in charge of water to calm down the anger and let the people go. Of course, local officials will automatically take responsibility.
Ge recalled this sacrificial responsibility for a moment, then waved his whip to make the horse speed up, and then said: "More than a hundred years ago, just as it is now, the river overflowed, and the Zhang River flooded, flooding Ye and Pingyang.
Ge Nie and other places...the county magistrate at that time called Ximen Bao..."
"He discovered that the officials here colluded together to select young and beautiful women to offer to He Bo as wives to appease He Bo's anger. Do you know what he did?" Ge asked with a smile.
Zhao Kuo naturally knew that he had known the story of Ximen Bao Zhiye for a long time, but he just didn't expect that it happened so close to him, but he still didn't tell the truth and said: "I don't know.
How did he do it?"
"He said that the wives chosen by the officials and witches for He Bo were not beautiful enough, and he threw the witches into the river and asked them to explain to He Bo in person... Hahaha~~" Ge laughed loudly, his beard twitching.
Trembling, Zhao Kuo also smiled. Ge shook his head and said with emotion: "Ximen Bao is a good official... When Ma Fujun was still there... When Ma Fujun was still there first, he once
Tell me the story."
"The late king hated these sacrifices. He went to see the king and hoped to imitate Ximen Bao in opening canals, no longer perform sacrifices, and use Ximen Bao's method to reduce floods. However, he was not recognized. He continued until his death.
There is a big prejudice against this matter, and they think that offering sacrifices to He Bo is useless."
Zhao Kuo was stunned and asked with some seriousness: "Is it possible that the monarch is also offering sacrifices to He Bo now? Will living people be used as sacrifices?"
Ge was a little surprised. He shook his head hurriedly and said, "Why do you think so? The king is such a wise man, why would they sacrifice to He Bo and do things that stupid people do?"
"Then what do they sacrifice?"
"Sacrifice to Ximen Leopard..."
"Hahaha~~" Ge laughed again, his beard trembling, he shook his head and said with some fun: "Back then, we demolished the Hebo Temple, killed the great witch, dug channels, and created a fertile land for the Ximen Leopard.
, I would never have thought that a hundred years later, I would actually become He Bo and become the new object of sacrifice." Ge's black humor did not make others laugh.
Zhao Kuo looked at his face, trying to tell whether he was lying. Ge seemed to have discovered something. He said seriously: "That's the thing. If there is no disaster, the local officials will sacrifice Ximen Leopard. I hope Ximen Bao will be sacrificed."
Leopards can protect them and prevent rivers from flooding. If a disaster occurs, it will be up to the Prime Minister to go and offer sacrifices in person...Now that the Prime Minister is away, the monarch should go there in person."
When Zhao Kuo rushed to Handan, he finally saw the scouts riding fast horses. They seemed to be carrying the latest news from various places and quickly rushed to the north of the city. Zhao Kuo knew that there was the fake Yu Qing's mansion.
When Zhao Kuo arrived at the palace, the warriors saluted him quickly, and then went to report to King Zhao. Apparently, Ge guessed wrong, and the king did not go to sacrifice Ximen Bao.
Soon, Zhao Kuo saw King Zhao. King Zhao looked a little haggard. When he saw Zhao Kuo coming, his eyes flickered and he seemed a little embarrassed. He did not dare to look at Zhao Kuo. This made Zhao Kuo a little strange. King Zhao
He invited Zhao Kuo to sit down, sighed again, and then asked cautiously: "May I ask why you came to see me?"
"I heard that even a small official in the countryside who does not have the ability to collect taxes fairly will cause the decline of the country. Now Zhao has established medical officers. This is an important official position for treating diseases and saving people. Some people still do it casually.
They arranged for their cronies to hold such important official positions, even if they did not have the ability to save people. The impact of this incident could probably destroy a country. They received the king's salary, but failed to fulfill their responsibilities.
."
"This will make those who have done their duty have the idea of neglect. People come to seek help from medical officers because they trust the country, but they lose their lives because of the mediocrity of the medical officers. In this way, they no longer trust the country.
, I heard that it is easy to annex a place, but it is very difficult to unite a place. The behavior of the traitors is to disperse the places that were originally united, and it is an act to destroy the Zhao country."
"That's it, what should I do?" After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief before asking.
"Please let the imperial physician Lingzu identify these people and find out those who do not know medical skills but rely on their close relationship with the nobles to serve as medical officers...and hand them over to Dong Chengzi to punish them." Zhao Kuo said seriously.
Said, King Zhao became a little nervous again when he heard Zhao Kuo talking about Dong Chengzi. He nodded nervously and said: "I will do as you said."
"The lieutenant in the country, Yu Qing, is a talented person. The affairs of the medical officer can be left to him."
Zhao Kuo said, paused, and then said: "I heard that the river overflowed and tens of thousands of people were displaced because of it. How are you going to resettle them?" King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo's face and whispered.
He said: "I have arranged for Xu Lilai to be responsible for this matter, and asked him to go and offer sacrifices... to properly arrange for the victims..." He saw Zhao Kuo's frown and hurriedly changed his words: "I think this is not enough.
We are preparing to send someone to discuss this matter with you."
Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "When the Zhang River flooded and flooded the cultivated land in Yecheng, Ximen Bao came to govern Ye City. He dug twelve channels in the Zhang River and diverted the Zhang water to irrigate the farmland. Today,
A lot of land near Zhangshui has been turned into fertile farmland... Since Ximen Bao, no one has dug channels anymore. With your permission, I want to dig channels in Niushui and Fushui and repair them.
The channel dug by Ximen Leopard... diverted the water from the river..."
Zhao Kuo spoke his thoughts seriously. King Zhao just nodded, a little absent-minded. After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, King Zhao smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. Please take charge of this matter."
Well, I will ask Yu Qing to help you."
After sending Zhao Kuo away, King Zhao sighed and hurriedly returned to the harem. Behind the main hall, where King Zhao lived, a child who was no more than five or six years old was kneeling on the ground, whispering.
He was sobbing, and beside him, Lord Chang'an was constantly coaxing him. King Zhao frowned, looked at them, snorted coldly, passed by them, sat on the couch, and just stared at them.
Two people.
"Yan... How did I teach you on weekdays? How could you..." King Zhao gritted his teeth and looked at Lord Chang'an beside him, with anger burning in his eyes.
Chang'an Jun was stunned for a moment, then said: "Brother, why are you angry? It's just a play between children, nothing serious happened..."
"Shut up!"
King Zhao cursed, paused again, and was silent for a moment. Then he found a wooden board from the side and walked towards the child. The child was so frightened that he cried loudly and shouted that he would never dare again, and that he would
Hiding to Lord Chang'an, Lord Chang'an also hurriedly protected Youzi and said loudly: "Brother! He was the one who bullied him first! I sent someone to apologize, why are you still beating him?!"
King Zhao raised the wooden board in his hand, but hesitated for a long time, and then dropped the wooden board bitterly.
"This will never happen again!"
.....
Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace and saw Han Fei who had been waiting for him. This surprised him. He did not take Han Fei with him on this trip. Han Fei was holding a thin horse. Obviously, he was riding a horse.
When he arrived, he looked at Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "Teacher..." Zhao Kuo nodded and then got on the carriage. Ling Ge took him to Yu Qing's place. Sitting on the carriage, Han Fei
He said seriously: "Fortunately, I brought a group of disaster victims..."
"He said that the river was overflowing, and he also said that you want to solve this matter. I know a man who works as a waterman in South Korea. He is good at managing rivers and has great political achievements, but he is not taken seriously... I can invite him to come
Come and build channels...Building channels is not an easy task..." Han Fei said seriously, Zhao Kuo glanced at him, he asked Xing to take the victims back halfway, Xing couldn't be like that
Returning to the horse server soon, Han Fei apparently met Lucky on the way to Handan after him...
However, he didn't say much. Although Zhao Kuo was determined to dig channels and change the practice of migrating people in disaster years, Zhao Kuo couldn't do it if he was asked to design a channel map. Han Fei knew this
This is a good thing. A South Korean water conservancy expert?? Zhao Kuo was stunned and suddenly asked: "The person you are talking about is called Zheng Guo?"
Han Fei looked at the teacher cutely and asked, "How did you know?"
Of course Zhao Kuo knew that Zheng Guo Canal, the genius monarch of South Korea had used the trick of tiring Qin, and wanted Qin to focus on building the canal and stop thinking about attacking South Korea, so he sent Zheng Guo there
Qin State, asked the King of Qin to build channels, well... After the water conservancy expert Zheng Guo, Qin State owned an extremely fertile land, the land of abundance, so the speed of destroying the six kingdoms became faster.
..
Zhao Kuo didn't know whether the Korean king who came up with the plan to weaken Qin was the current King of Han. If it was really him, Zhao Kuo would not be surprised. If it was his son, then Zhao Kuo would have no choice but to deal with it.
The Koreans expressed sympathy. If it was his son, he would be of the same blood...
Han Fei said seriously: "He and I are both from Xinzheng. It's just a pity that he has so many talents but can't be reused...Teacher, in fact, in fact, there are many... in Korea."
There are many...talented people..." When the topic touched on South Korea, Han Fei's stuttering became a little serious. Zhao Kuo waited seriously for him to finish his words.
"But...but...but they..." Han Fei said, then stopped, his eyes full of sadness.
"No..."
"teacher."
"In the world, there are Bole first, and then there are thousand-mile horses. There are often thousand-mile horses, but there are not always Bole... Even if it has the ability to run a thousand miles a day, but it doesn't have enough food and lacks strength, its talents and good qualities will not be able to express themselves.
He came out... faced it with a whip and said: There is no thousand-mile horse in the world! Alas~~ Is there really no thousand-mile horse? Maybe he really doesn't know the thousand-mile horse." Zhao Kuo had recited the horse and said, Fortunately, he still has it.
I remember what it meant. It wasn't very long and I can still say it to this day.
But Han Fei just looked at the teacher blankly, and he suddenly laughed, "Teacher, I want to record this article and give it to King Han."
"Then King Han will be very happy. Maybe he will think that he is the thousand-mile horse, but there is no Bole to appreciate him!" Ge drove the car and said with a smile. His joke finally made everyone laugh.
Get up. Zhao Kuo thought of King Zhao's strange expression in the palace just now, and asked again: "Did something happen in Handan?"
Everyone didn't know, they just shook their heads, and Ge sighed: "We should have brought Di also...he will definitely know."
Zhao Kuo rushed to Yu Qing's mansion. Sure enough, the knights came here, handed over the bamboo slips, and left quickly. They found Zhao Kuo coming. Yu Qing's retainers respectfully invited Zhao Kuo into the courtyard. Yu Qing was in the inner room.
Zhao Kuo did not disturb him while he was busy dealing with documents. He just sat and waited for him to finish his work. After Yu Qing was busy for a long time, he got up and stretched his body. The retainer told him that Ma Fujun had been waiting for him.
Yu Qing was a little surprised, got up hurriedly, and walked out to meet Zhao Kuo.
Whether it was Tian Dan or Wei Wuji who served as the Prime Minister, everything still fell on Yu Qing. Yu Qing was like a tool man. Both generations of Prime Ministers directly left matters that should have been handled by themselves.
Without him, Yu Qing did not have as many helpers as they did. Therefore, this Yu Qing was probably the busiest person in the whole Zhao Kingdom. He was busy from morning to night and was truly "dedicated". Looking at his red eyes,
Zhao Kuo was a little scared with his pale face.
This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo wants to implement new official positions. The prime minister has great powers and great responsibilities. The initial vassal states had small territories and few things to do. It is probably possible to let one prime minister be responsible for everything.
Completed, but now, this is to kill the Prime Minister... In order to share the hard work of the Prime Minister, the State of Zhao set up a false image, but the false image of Yu Qing was a bit miserable... Not everyone is as capable as Fan Ju.
Everything was handled very well.
Even Chun Shenjun of Chu State could not do this. He was not as good as Fan Ju in handling political affairs.
"Please take care of yourself...you can't work so hard..." Zhao Kuo said with some distress.
Yu Qing smiled and said, "This is what I should do. I wonder why Mr. Ma Fu came to visit?"
"It's about digging channels."
Yu Qing's eyesight went dark, he staggered a few steps, then steadied himself, looked at Zhao Kuo with some confusion, was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Okay... please come into the inner room, let's discuss this matter together."
thing."
"Forget it, you should rest early...I will go over to understand the situation myself, but you stay and help Prime Minister Yu handle the government affairs."
