Lu Buwei leaned on crutches and gazed affectionately at the palace for the last time.
I still remember that when the young master Yiren was in his prime, he held his hand and strode into this place, promising to make Nanyang, the richest place, his food town.
I still remember that the two of them were very ambitious and wanted to complete the great cause of becoming the king of the world together.

I still remember the unwilling look before Yiren passed away... Lu Buwei smiled bitterly. Since the death of the young master, it seems that many things have lost their meaning. No one trusts him like him anymore, that kind of mutual growth and mutual support for each other.
There was no more cheering scene for his achievement. He sighed, and reluctantly walked out of the palace with the attendants on his left and right, turning back from time to time to look behind him.
Zhao Kuo was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. When he saw Lu Buwei coming out, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, you can finally put down your government affairs and do something you want to do...", Lu Buwei first
He was stunned and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do at my age?"
"Aside from government affairs, isn't there anything you really want to accomplish over the years?"
Lu Buwei was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he said: "I forgot..."
When Lu Buwei was no longer the prime minister, his mansion became empty. No guests came to visit him anymore. The one who came to visit him the most was Zhao Kuo, who rarely came before. The two sat together.
, citing classics, as the two most outstanding miscellaneous masters of the same era, they are also very good at absorbing and accepting. The two still have many topics. They often start chatting from history, and then talk about systems, culture, and so on.
I don't feel tired for an hour.
The conversations and debates between the two were not like debates or discussions. They were just talking about what was in their hearts and expressing their thoughts. Zhao Kuo would still gather what he had learned in later generations and talk freely.
He expressed his concerns about the future, including issues of land annexation, powerful landlords, and aristocratic families. Of course, he also expressed his views on the past and future.
Look at the past history with the perspective of the future, and look at the unknown future with the perspective of the present.
After the two of them had removed all their burdens, they talked very casually. Lu Buwei also expressed a lot of his own understanding. He was happily talking about Qin's future system transition issues and future development trends, and served Lu Buwei.
The clerk next to him suddenly felt that he might be able to record the conversation between the two. Regarding the behavior of the clerk, neither Zhao Kuo nor Lu Buwei said much.
The scope of their chats was very wide and kept jumping around, which brought great trouble to the clerk who recorded it. The clerk couldn't organize it like Han Fei did, so he could only record it truthfully.
"When the war is over, those military nobles in the past will become local powerful... If they want to get more land, they will go to war, but wars don't always happen. After a hundred years, these people will not
If they can't obtain military merit from war, they can only obtain land through other methods... Unless a new system is adopted, when powerful people appear in a place, they will be moved elsewhere... This seems very unfair,
But it’s the best way to temporarily solve the problem.”
"And if you look at my family now, Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others, after a hundred years, these families may become very powerful aristocratic families, and their emergence will create a monopoly on knowledge and talents..."
"As long as the current school system can continue to be maintained, this situation should not happen, right?"
"We still need to let more people receive education..."
"I think that the history of the king's era will be the struggle between the local and the central government, the king and the ministers...The trend must be that the centralization of power will become stronger and stronger, and the monarchy will gradually reach its peak..."
Zhao Kuo's life is finally not as tiring as it used to be. There are many outstanding young people in the country who can take over his job. Every day he just looks at the promotion, chats with Lu Buwei, and asks about the war.
.During this period, word spread that Wang Jian captured Yan State and fought against Donghu. Zhao Kuo judged without hesitation that Wang Jian would severely inflict heavy damage on Donghu.
Sure enough, news came soon after that Wang Jian severely wounded Donghu in the Yan region. After the Donghu he killed escaped from the Great Wall, Wang Jian continued to pursue, with Meng Tian and Li Xin as the vanguard to chase and kill King Donghu. In the end, it was Meng Tian who shot and killed King Donghu.
, brought back his body, but Li Xin had to give this great achievement away because he was lost... Wang Jian actually killed King Donghu. This was something that no one expected, and probably Donghu himself didn't expect it either.
It can only be said that Wang Jian defeated Dong Hu's wolf tactics. Dong Hu's wolf tactics were to draw the front line and make a sudden advance. When it comes to drawing the front line, Wang Jian has to talk about it. When he and Li Mu fought in Hanoi,
He opened up the front line and fought until Li Mu retreated steadily, and almost destroyed the State of Zhao. Compared with Li Mu, these barbarians were nothing... Wang Jian commanded the armies from various places, first defeating the small tribes, and then pretending to
Get in the sack, punch and kick...
The most pitiful thing is King Donghu. King Donghu himself is still relatively powerful. However, he is unlucky. He wants to attack Xiangping, but he runs into Wang Jian's main force stationed in Xiangping, with a main force of 100,000 people, chasing him.
With 50,000 to 60,000 King Donghu beating him violently, King Donghu asked tribes from all over the country to come to the rescue. Wang Jian gathered around to help, waiting for the enemy to kill him. Finally, he drove the remnants of Donghu hundreds of miles away from the Great Wall. King Donghu's
The heads were chopped off.
Wang Jian finally got what he wanted. He defeated the Yan State and captured the king. King Donghu was also the king!
In this way, Wang Jian finally collected enough military achievements, and the Qin State also achieved its goal of training troops, and even severely damaged a potential enemy. This lesson will probably be remembered by the Donghu people for a long time.
For a long time, they probably didn't dare to look in the direction of Qin. Wang Jian and other soldiers were very happy, but Li Si in the temple was in pain.
This war gave the Qin State hundreds of more counties and counties... These counties and counties all need to arrange officials. The territory of the Yan State is very large, second only to Qin and Chu. To manage this area well, it needs
How many officials were there? Li Si began to prepare for the pacification and governance of the local area. However, Li Si did not expect that the kind-hearted King of Yan had imitated the Qin State and trained many officials who were proficient in the law in the country of Yan... Well, they were free of charge.
Helped Qin to promote the law.
Li Si felt a little moved. Good people like this are really rare.
It would be great if there were more people like Yan Dan in the world.
Unfortunately, the kings of Chu and Qi were not like King Yan. After King Chu learned about the fall of Yan, his condition seemed to worsen. King Qi also sensed the threat and asked Hou Sheng to reorganize the army.
Things are getting worse and worse... Qin State and He are too lazy to care about these two people. In the current situation, even if the two of them join forces, they are not Qin's opponents. The only one worthy of attention is Xiang Yan of Chu State.
After his previous defeat to Zhao Kuo, he began to imitate the Qin State, drill the army, and improve military discipline, hoping to quickly develop an army that could withstand the Qin State. It is said that there were some achievements, mainly because the nobles of the Chu State were also afraid and stopped.
After fighting for power with the King of Chu, he began to help Xiang Yan with all his strength and wanted to defend Chu.
Zhao Kuo clasped his hands behind his back. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Fusu crying and complaining to Yi. Fusu saw his uncle walking in and hurriedly came to him with his hands raised. Zhao Kuo looked down and saw
He reached into his red palm and asked, "Did your father beat you?"
"It's the teacher. The teacher hit me." Fusu said aggrievedly. Fusu's current teacher is Han Fei... Ying Zheng still sent Fusu to Han Fei. He was very relieved about Han Fei and helped him.
Su is not a noisy child. Unfortunately, it may still be difficult to learn Han Fei's knowledge at this age. Han Fei is very harsh on students and has a complete Legalist style. Zhao Kuo feels a little distressed, but he only said a few words.
.
Sooner or later, this child will become the king of Qin and will have to shoulder great responsibilities. No matter how much I love him, I will never harm him.
You must not be like King Qi... What makes Zhao Kuo happiest is the kindness and righteousness in Fusu. He is less domineering than his father, but more kind, but he is not stupid either. He learns from
Although the speed of things is not as fast as his father's, it is still fast. Moreover, he is born with a temperament that makes people like him, just like Zhao Kuo. Zhang Cang often comes to Zhao Kuo's mansion to study, and Fusu likes him very much.
I often consulted him for advice.
Zhang Cang is a reading maniac. Nothing can stop him from reading. He studies very seriously and can even forget the passage of time. Zhao Kuo cannot do this. Zhao Kang hates him very much and doesn't like to talk to him.
, on the contrary, Ying Zheng, after talking with him several times, valued him very much and believed that he would definitely be able to do something great.
It was at this time that Wang Jian returned to Qin with his army, and the Mohists finally made several pieces of equipment needed by the cavalry. Saddles and stirrups were not difficult to make, but horseshoes were a little more difficult.
Because no one has done it, or even heard of it... Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kang came to inspect these things in person. Zhao Kang saw the exquisite saddle on the horse, and his eyes lit up. Zhao Kuo had not
He opened his mouth and couldn't help but ride on.
He felt the new changes brought about by the stirrups and saddles, and started galloping in the courtyard. Suddenly he let go of his hands and tried to stand up. The Mohist craftsmen around him were shocked. Fortunately, Zhao Kang's
The riding skills were superb enough, and he completed many tricks without falling off... The craftsmen couldn't help but cheered, applauding Zhao Kang. Only Zhao Kuo calmly watched Zhao Kang's various skills, and was not impressed.
Moved.
Zhao Kang laughed and jumped off the horse. He rushed straight towards Wu Fu of the Mo family. Before Wu Fu could react, Zhao Kang saved him and shouted happily: "
Okay! Okay! Great!!" As a general and equestrian enthusiast, no one knows the changes brought about by these things better than Zhao Kang... Zhao Kang is really happy, even a little bit happy
I couldn't suppress my inner excitement.
I was confused and looked at the ecstatic Zhao Kang in front of me. He took a few steps back. Zhao Kang stared at him again and asked: "Can you make me another one that can shoot three hundred steps?"
A crossbow outside?"
"I...."
...
When Wang Jian returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng personally greeted him and celebrated his triumph with the highest etiquette. Wang Jian presented the head of King Donghu and the map of Yan State. Wang Jian finally got his wish and was promoted to Guannei Hou and became the Yiyang Lord of Qin State.
.At this point, he has evened the distance with Zhao Kang and has become an equal existence, and he is more real than Zhao Kang as a lord, without being mixed with water.
The State of Yan was destroyed, but the land of Yan was not completely controlled. The State of Qin still had many things to do. However, these were Li Si's affairs, and Zhao Kuo could not help much. Zhao Kuo first helped the Mo family.
He dedicated the three-piece cavalry suit to the King of Qin, and asked the King of Qin to pay attention to the promotion of enlightenment teaching materials and the three-elder system, and then rushed to the Yan Kingdom with a group of disciples from the farm. The reason why he wanted to go to the Yan Kingdom was because Wang Jian and others
The officer informed him of the situation in Yan State.
There is a lot of land in Yan State, but the yield is very low. I don’t know whether it is because of the soil or the crops.
In Zhao Kuo's impression, the Northeast is a major grain-producing area. When talking about China's granary, many people will subconsciously think of the south. In fact, it is the Northeast that has the highest grain output and is known as China's granary. So what is it now?
What is the reason why the agricultural level here is so backward? He wants to find out. If the crops here can be improved, or the reason can be found, it would be a good thing to develop the area. The terrain in the Northeast is flat and open, and the soil is fertile.
There is sufficient water for irrigation and the climate is suitable for farming.
If land annexation issues arise in the future, the open Northeastern region and the not yet fully developed Jiangnan region will be the best way out.
Of course, every time Zhao Kuo went out, it was also to check the local situation. He rushed from Xianyang towards Yandi. Along the way, he was looking at the situation at the bottom and observing the situation of the people everywhere under the Qin system.
Things have improved somewhat in the Jin region. Since the last war, many Zhao people who participated in the war have become Qin's military nobles. After enjoying the benefits, the attitudes of these people seem to have changed.
Coupled with the three-elder system promoted by the Qin State, the local people's resistance to the Qin State is dissipating.
Zhao Kuo did not dare to reveal his true identity along the way for fear of affecting local government affairs. On the first day he entered Yandi, he saw the first big problem, the problem of people. There is indeed a lot of land here.
However, there are too few people here. There are forests everywhere and they are deserted. It is like coming to a wild world. There are no traces of human beings for a long time, and there are even no roads in some areas.
After finally seeing the countryside and cultivated land, Zhao Kuo saw several men pulling plows and working hard in the cultivated land.
The plow looked very badly damaged, and they didn't even have an ox.
It seems that the potential here is huge, as long as it can be developed carefully... Zhao Kuo thought to himself.
