At this moment, Zhao Kuo has already rushed to the north. This time, he no longer rushes directly from Sanchuan Shangdang to Zhao State, but from Qidi Jibei County to the north to Julu County. Hearing the familiar Zhao language again,
Zhao Kuo felt as comfortable as returning to his hometown. Many of Zhao Kuo's new policies can already be seen to be effective. Today's people in all countries seem to have returned to their former appearance, except for those serious officials of the Qin State.
, nothing changes anymore.
Zhao Kuo did not reveal his identity along the way. He was just on his way and observing the situation in various places. The Qin State established counties and counties in various places, and many of the governors were historical celebrities that Zhao Kuo had heard of. It seemed that he could
People who create great achievements in troubled times may not be hidden even in peacetime. Times create heroes, and heroes create times. This is probably the truth. On the way, Zhao Kuo complemented himself
historical materialism.
History is a very important subject for people, and the correct concept of history is a top priority. After chatting with Huang Shigong, Zhao Kuo suppressed the anxiety in his heart, as he said,
Sooner or later, this world must be handed over to young people. In many aspects, he cannot be too hasty. He did not think about a more suitable system and concentrated on completing his academic research and observing the pros and cons of the local area.
However, the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes, and winter comes quietly. Ge soon realizes that it is wrong to go further north at this time. Zhao Kuo often coughs violently, and sometimes he can't even breathe.
After getting off the car, his body could no longer face the winter. For the sake of Zhao Kuo's health, Ge did not take Zhao Kuo to Yuyang and other counties, but instead took a detour to Handan.
Before the heavy snow covered the whole world, Ge took Zhao Kuo back to his hometown.
Zhao Kuo returned to Mafu again, but the changes in Mafu were very big. Probably because of Zhao Kuo, this place received special preferential treatment from the officials. The scale of this place was constantly growing. The small town at the beginning
, has now become another city after Handan. The cultivated land outside the city has been connected with the cultivated land outside Handan, and there are many household registrations. Zhao Kuo did not recognize this place.
In just a few years, this place has changed from a township to a county... If it were not for the lack of inherent advantages, it is not impossible for Yingzheng to turn this place into a county seat. If so, Handan County would have to be renamed Ma
Serving the county... Zhao Kuo's acquaintances are all gone. Even the official Zhao Qusei who was guarding the door is no longer alive. When Zhao Kuo came here, there was no one he knew.
People here can no longer recognize this old man with all white hair and beard. The people here are still as gentle and polite as usual. However, Zhao Kuo can no longer find his hometown or his fellow villagers.
Okay... the changes here are so great. Because it is winter, there is thick snow on the road. The original dirt road is no longer there. The mountain top where I took Ying Zheng to go, the original farmland of Ping Gong, everything,
Zhao Kuo could only look for it in his memories.
Zhao Kuo sat on the carriage, curled up, looking at all the unfamiliar things, feeling inexplicably uneasy and frightened. He couldn't find any familiar corners here. He widened his eyes and searched on the road.
He even didn't find his own courtyard. Because the emperor had stayed there, Zhao Kuo's courtyard had already been renovated by local officials and turned into a magnificent palace, located in the middle of the city, and even had tall courtyard walls.
Zhao Kuo shook his head, that was not his home.
They finally lived in an inn in Mafu. Zhao Kuo stood at the door. He could see the smoke rising from the county town and several children playing in the snow on the street. They were wearing thick clothes.
His thick, white and fat face was red from the cold, but he played happily. Zhao Kuo laughed, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared at that moment. Zhao Kuo stayed in the horse suit for a while and paid homage.
His family waited until the end of winter before Ge Fang took him and left here.
During this period, Zhao Kuo never told the Mafu people that he was back. The people here no longer recognized him, but it didn't matter. They were living a good life now. I hope they could forget more about it soon.
Things, forget those hatreds, let go of those conflicts... What they represent is an old painful era. They let go of this era and move towards the new era. This is a good thing.
When Zhao Kuo came to Xianyang again, the people who came out to greet him were Cheng Yu and Qi. When they saw Zhao Kuo, they were extremely excited and bent down to salute. Zhao Kuo helped them up and asked them to follow him.
They walked towards home. Zhao Kuo watched these two people grow up, so there is nothing wrong with saying they are Zhao Kuo's sons. Both of them are very promising now.
Qi was ranked among the Nine Ministers and was highly valued by the emperor. Even Li Si was polite to him. Cheng Yu was now under the command of Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo served as the chief priest of Taixue and was in charge of the country's education. Cheng Yu
He is Zhao Kuo's deputy. Because Zhao Kuo is old, many errands have to be left to him. It can be predicted that he will definitely succeed Zhao Kuo in the future and be responsible for the education industry across the country.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Cheng Yu couldn't wait to talk about the development of various places and some difficulties encountered during Zhao Kuo's absence. Zhao Kuo subconsciously wanted to answer, hesitated for a moment, and said
: "I don't know, you should solve these things yourself." Cheng Yu was stunned and looked at Qi beside him. Qi was thoughtful and seemed to understand something.
The three of them walked back home like this. When they arrived home, Xiu, who was playing in the courtyard, screamed, flew towards Zhao Kuo, and jumped into Zhao Kuo's arms. Zhao Kuo reluctantly caught him and backed away.
He took a few steps and almost fell down. Cheng Yu was furious and was about to reprimand Zhao Xiu, but Qi on the side stopped him. Zhao Kuo didn't care about this at all. He hugged his grandson and kissed him again and again.
The two of them were laughing and joking.
Zhao Kuo hugged Zhao Xiu, sat down, looked at Qi, and asked: "Cheng Yu is anxious to see me because of things in middle school. What is the reason why you are anxious to see me?"
"Do you know Lin Hu?" Qi suddenly asked. Zhao Kuo was stunned, looked at Ge, waved his hand to let him come, then pointed at Ge and said: "He is half Lin Hu, do you have
What do you want to ask?" Qi glanced at Ge in surprise and continued: "That's right, I heard that when Zhao defeated Lin Hu, most of Lin Hu moved outside the Great Wall and defected to the Huns, while the rest of the Lin Hu people
Then they were moved to Yunzhong, Yanmen, Handan and other places..."
He glanced at Ge, wanting to confirm whether this was true. Ge squinted his eyes and recalled, "I remember my father said these things..."
"It doesn't seem like your father must have said that, think about it carefully..." Zhao Kuo said. Ge recalled for a moment and said: "Father did say that he said that Lin Hu was divided into three tribes, and one tribe was divided into three tribes.
To the Xiongnu, one tribe rushed to Qin, and one tribe stayed in Zhao..." Qi nodded and continued: "The Linhu people outside the Great Wall sent envoys, saying they were willing to submit to Qin, and sent a prince to Xianyang as a hostage.
.”
"Prince Linhu??" Ge looked confused and said: "The Linhu people don't even have a king, where did the prince come from?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Qi calmly and asked: "Is there any problem with this?" Qi said seriously: "It's like this. All the ministers thought: This is a good thing. It means that Da Qin is as versatile as Zhou was.
Come to court. However, according to my understanding of the Linhu people, the Linhu people who went out had already been annexed by the Xiongnu. Now they suddenly appeared and actively asked to join me. I think they have ulterior motives.
"
"Oh?", Zhao Kuo frowned, with ulterior motives? But who dares to go against the current Great Qin? The Xiongnu who had just risen were almost annihilated by Li Mu, and King Donghu's head was chopped off by Wang Jian
, and other tribes heard the news and started migrating directly, not daring to approach the Qin State. Could this tribe that took the initiative to approach the Qin State be instructed by the enemy to explore the news?
Zhao Kuo thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He thought for a long time and said: "We can agree to their surrender and send people to monitor at the same time, but we can't use strong methods. If they really come to surrender, we can't let them feel cold. If they
They have ulterior motives and must be stopped in time. I think we can let Sima Shang from Yun Zhong take charge of this matter." Qi nodded and said, "This is the only way."
Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something again and asked, "Is the proton here?"
"Here he is, waiting for your Majesty's edict in Xianyang."
"Let him come to see me." Zhao Kuo said. Qi nodded and left. Zhao Kuo looked at Ge beside him and asked, "Do you understand Lin Hu language?", "Of course I do.
When my father was not angry, he spoke Zhao Yu, when he educated me, he used Qin Yu, and when he beat me, he used Dong Hu dialect... I remember it clearly." Zhao Kuo couldn't help but chuckled, teasing me.
Zhao Xiu inside, and soon Qi came back.
He brought a child, who was only a little older than Xiu. Zhao Kuo widened his eyes and looked at the child. Is this Proton? Is this a little baby?
This little baby looked very serious, with a face full of indifference, like a big ice cube, without the warmth that a child should have. Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, he didn't know what this child had gone through, which made him completely uncomfortable.
Like a normal child, however, it is completely meaningless to meet such a little baby. He probably doesn't know anything. Ge couldn't help but asked in Lin Hu dialect: "Little baby, who are you?"
Mao Dun was stunned, raised his head, looked at Ge, and replied in proficient Lin Hu dialect: "Mao."
"Mao?" Ge asked again: "Who is your father?"
"His name is Gege, and he is the great shaman in the tribe."
Ge told Zhao Kuo what the child said. Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, Gege? Or a great witch? Gargamel? Zhao Kuo looked at him and asked: "Child, can you speak Qin language?", Mao Dun
Looking at him, he was stunned for a moment and said, "I've never met Mr. Ma Fu." He said this in Zhao language. Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. He asked, "Can you speak Zhao language?"
"Yes, I would say, my father taught me."
Zhao Kuo noticed that every time the child mentioned his father, there was something unnatural, interrupted, and strange. Zhao Kuo probably understood why the child looked so cold. Zhao Kuo stood up and put down the baby in his arms.
Zhao Xiu walked up to him, bent down, looked into his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Do you like it here?"
"Huh?", Mao Dun was a little confused. Zhao Kuo suddenly approached, which made him feel a little uneasy. He took a few steps back and said coldly: "I like it."
Zhao Kuo suddenly reached out his hand, rubbed Mao Dun's head, and said with a smile: "Then stay here with me, just in time to play with him!", "Xiu!", Zhao Xiu heard his uncle's words.
He yelled and hurried to their side. Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "I found a friend for you. From now on, when you go to play, take him with you. Don't let others bully him!" Zhao Xiu nodded.
, said: "Okay!"
Modun was a little dazed at the moment. He looked at Zhao Kuo with his head wrapped around his head, and felt very angry. Except for his mother, no one could treat him so intimately. If his mother had not been kidnapped, he would definitely draw a knife and give this hand to
Cut it off! Mao Dun swore in his heart, and when Zhao Kuo found Zhao Xiu and asked Zhao Xiu to be his friend, Mao Dun's eyes were full of confusion, friend? What is that?
However, no matter what, my father's plan was successful. I successfully stayed with the Zhao man and could study with him. After I finished studying, I could gain my father's trust when I returned, and then I took my mother with me.
To leave there, no, you must first kill all those who have bullied your mother, and then leave. Modun thought coldly, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo ordered a few things, and Qi and Cheng Yu left. After seeing them off, Zhao Kuo picked up the book and sat under a tree. He waved his hand. Zhao Xiu laughed and took the initiative.
He took Mao Dun's hand, pulled him and ran to Zhao Kuo's side. Zhao Kuo asked the two of them to sit down, put down the books, and began to talk seriously, "A long time ago, there was a woodcutter.
The ax fell into the water..."
Maodun was overjoyed. This Zhao man was finally going to teach him some useful knowledge. He sat down, pulled his hand out of Zhao Xiu's hand, and listened carefully to Zhao Kuo's story. Zhao Kuo said this,
The two children were fascinated by what they heard. Zhao Kuo kept talking until dark before letting the two children go to bed. Zhao Xiu cherished this new friend very much and clamored to sleep with him.
Lying on the warm bed, feeling the warmth in the room, Mo Dun was still recalling the stories he heard today. He had never heard such interesting stories in his life.
This Zhao man is quite interesting.
As Mao Dun thought, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
He woke up suddenly and frowned hastily. No, I'm here to steal knowledge! I'm not here to listen to stories!!
