"Dong...Dong...Dong..."

On the road leading to Hangu Pass in South Korea, the soldiers of Qin lowered their heads and lined up in neat rows, approaching step by step. Perhaps because of their neat steps, they could make sounds similar to war drums at each step. This sound made the enemy frightened. For the Qin people, it was a kind of enjoyment. When the Qin officials along the way heard this sound, smiled, and understood in their hearts that this was a triumphant voice.

Wu'an Jun once again created his own myth. The battlefield this time was very big. From Shangdang to Nanyang, there were many enemies. The coalition forces and commanders of the four countries were Wei Wuji and Jingyang. But even so, Wu'an Jun defeated the other side. He led the Qin soldiers to traverse the front thousands of miles, and the Chu State moved its capital to escape again, which almost collapsed. The Wei State Zhao State could only rush to send people to negotiate peace.

The territory of Qin was once again expanded. Han was directly surrounded by Qin from three sides. The Liang of Wei was also exposed to Qin. There was no need to mention Chu, and he was directly driven out of the Heluo Central Plains area and could only hide in the southeast. Only Zhao. Although Zhao did not pay any heavy price, his allies were weakened to the extreme. Zhao itself could not fight against Qin alone.

Since Wu'anjun became the commander of the Qin army, Qin has never been defeated, not once.

Just in the central position of the army, Meng Wu looked melancholy. He stood on the chariot and looked at Bai Qi sitting beside him. Bai Qi was coughing all the time. He was coughing both day and night. He was like this when he was fighting with Wei Wuji? At this moment? His condition became even more serious, and the shaking of the chariot? He even worsened his condition? Meng Wu persuaded Bai Qi to stop and rest, but Bai Qi did not appreciate it.

Sitting in the chariot? Bai Qi only felt that his ears were full of buzzing noises, and his head was so heavy? Everything seemed to be shaking. Bai Qi became like this? It has been a while since he went to the state of Chu, his health was not very good. During the war, he often bothered him? But Bai Qi did not succumb to the disease. He did not tell anyone about his pain. Only the military doctor who treated him knew his condition.

Bai Qi refused to let the military doctor disclose his situation, and also refused the proposal given to him by the military doctor. But now? Meng Wu only knew that Wu Anjun's cough was so severe, but he didn't know how bad Wu Anjun's condition had worsened. Under such pain? Bai Qi could only temporarily forget the pain by thinking about the problem. Bai Qi thought the most? Of course, it was war. He often read the "Horse Costume Book"? He was thinking about various ways to fight in his mind.

And in the palace? The King of Qin was still thinking about how to reward Bai Qi? This really made the King of Qin feel a headache. Fortunately, Bai Qi implemented a strategy to attack the heart and let go of many prisoners. But even so, he captured more than 40 cities, killing more than 160,000 enemies on the battlefield, and more prisoners were captured. The King of Qin sat in the upper position and rubbed his forehead. Wu'an Jun made him love and hate.

Wu'an Jun is under his command, so he doesn't have to worry about the war, because Wu'an Jun never lets him down, but Wu'an Jun seriously destroyed the military merit system in Qin State, and there is no title. He doesn't even know how to reward him, and then give him land, wealth, and the King of Qin looked at Yinghou in front of him helplessly. Obviously, Yinghou was also worried about this matter.

"First reward the soldiers who went out to war, appease the hearts of the soldiers, and then calculate the rewards to Wu'anjun..." Fan Ju couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while, so he could only choose to reward the other soldiers first, let them divide their military merits, and finally reward the commander. Fan Ju suddenly said: "Recently, domestic officials have collected the "Horse Costume Book" forged by various countries. They have wasted their time on those useless miscellaneous articles, which will make the people imitate their actions and affect the farming war."

"Please give orders that those forged "Horse Costume Book" are not allowed to be circulated in Qin State and no one is allowed to read it. I will enact relevant laws and regulations to punish those who have privately hidden, read, and imitate them."

The King of Qin nodded. Under the current farming and war system of Qin, everything has strict arrangements. Farmers farm, practice after farming, go to the battlefield after practice, craftsmen go to learn skills, and after learning, they make tools. Those who want to be officials go to the school room and after learning, they come out to be officials. If a farmer suddenly builds machinery and invents, he is guilty because he is not responsible. Even if the invention he makes is beneficial to the country, he will definitely be punished.

Because Qin wanted to eliminate such situations and could not encourage such behaviors. Everyone should do their jobs and not do things that were not in line with their profession. Therefore, Qin basically had no entertainment activities. It was impossible for the people to gather to play. They would be taken away and sentenced directly. Poetry, music, and entertainment were useless. Qin only needed craftsmen who made weapons, officials who popularized the law, farmers who needed farming, and soldiers who could go to the battlefield.

Of course, Qin State itself also had merchants, but these merchants were highly suppressed in Qin State. Not only did they have to collect high taxes, but they were also sent to the battlefield first during the war. Only the nobles of Qin State could secretly carry out some entertainment activities, and they could not carry out openly, otherwise they would be held accountable. The current King of Qin is a man who can lead by example. After he ascended the throne, he did not hold any banquets or engage in entertainment activities, either studying or handling state affairs.

After discussing these matters, the King of Qin suddenly sighed again, "What are Wu Chengjun busy with recently?" Fan Ju laughed and said, "I heard that he found a Korean craftsman who wanted to build a canal to solve the disaster on both sides of the river. In addition, there are many scholars from the school who went to discuss with Ma Fujun, including Gongsun Long, Zou Yan and others."

"Well... let the warriors in Zhao State seriously protect Wu Chengjun and not let others hurt Wu Chengjun."

"only."

Before the King of Qin and Fan Ju came up with a plan to reward Bai Qi, Bai Qi's army had already returned to Xianyang. Those who received the reward and had their titles improved happily returned to their hometowns and continued to farm. Bai Qi had just returned to Xianyang and did not go to pay homage to the King of Qin, so he fell ill and spent all day in his courtyard and stayed in his door. Someone told the King of Qin that Bai Qi was dissatisfied because he did not receive the reward, so he pretended to be sick and refused to come to pay homage to you.

This made the King of Qin very angry, so he summoned Wu'an Jun into the palace.

The King of Qin sat in the upper position, Fan Ju sat beside him. The two looked at Bai Qi on the side, and Bai Qi sat opposite Fan Ju, sitting straight there, frowned and solemn, looking completely different from the way he fell ill on the couch. The King of Qin squinted his eyes and asked, "I heard that you have contracted a disease, is this true?"

Bai Qi nodded and said seriously: "It's true."

The King of Qin did not speak anymore. He looked at Fan Ju, and Fan Ju asked again: "What disease do you have?"

"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, then please rest at home and rest assured."

After seeing Bai Qi off, the King of Qin said to Fan Ju: "I see that Wu Anjun's appetite is as good as before, and it doesn't look like he is sick." Fan Ju replied: "You can ask the Imperial Physician Order to treat him."

At this moment, Zheng State finally came up with his final plan. He reduced the number of channels he had decided to dig and decided to take out a few to dig, and then gradually increased. Zhao Kuo also thought this method was good, so he took him to find Lian Po. Lian Po talked with Zheng State about the required raw materials and manpower issues. Zhao Kuo really didn't expect that General Lian Po really had administrative abilities.

When he saw him telling Zheng about the young and strong people in various places, he could start their seasons, and even arranged them, Zhao Kuo felt that it was not Lian Po, but Yu Qing who sat in front of him. After the two talked for a few days, Zhao Kuo did not participate. He did not know the situation in various places, nor how to build it. When they completed the negotiations, Lian Po took them to see King Zhao.

King Zhao was not opposed to this matter. What he was worried about before was that Zhao State had no strength to complete it. Now that he heard Lian Po say that it could be excavated, King Zhao naturally didn't say much and directly handed the matter to Lian Po for handling. At this time, Zhao Kuo happened to think of a way to provide disaster relief through work. Due to the flood, many victims appeared in Zhao State, and this matter could be done.

Zhao Kuo told Lian Po about his thoughts. Lian Po immediately summoned the victims from all over the country to return to his hometown and called on them to dig the canal and control the flood. Under the arrangement of the chief engineer Zheng Guo, the nearby people, led by the officials, went to the area divided into them and began to excavate. Zheng Guo gave up most of his canals, leaving only six. They dug through these six first, and the rest can be excavated in the future.

Zhao State finally realized the benefits of improving the grassroots system. The lower-level official system after the reform played a great role in mobilizing the people. These officials, with local young and strong, had clear division of labor, orderly top and bottom, and were easy to command. Lian Po was responsible for the mobilization of these people and the issue of subsidies for the disaster victims, while the state affairs that Lian Po should have been responsible for fell on Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji didn't have time to drink again. At this time, he seemed to realize how busy the things he had handed to Yu Qing were. Wei Wuji hurriedly found Pang Gong to discuss the changes in the palace official system mentioned by Zhao Kuo. Because of that rebellion, Wei Wuji had no way to directly intervene in the reform, but he could let Pang Gong and others continue to handle it. After all, Pang Gong was a minister who had always been close to King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo was also very busy. He was helping Zheng State dig the canal. He often used tools to dig it out, and had dinner and chatted with these people who were in labor service. Zhao Kuo's motivational role was also shown. As long as he was there, officials did not have to urge the people. No one would be lazy or complain. Under Zhao Kuo's leadership, everyone worked hard and followed the channels originally dug by Ximen Bao, several brand new channels appeared.

Zheng State has targeted the areas where disasters are most likely to occur, and opened some small channels here to reduce the disasters caused by the surge in water volume.

Zhao Kuo worked with these people every day, occasionally bringing meat to reward them, which made the people think of a person, Yu. In their opinion, perhaps this was the case with Dayu in ancient times. Zhao Kuo was busy near the Leren for more than a month before taking advantage of the people's rotation to return to the horse uniform. He had been away from the horse uniform for a while, and during this period, Yi had brought Zhao Zheng many times.

Zhao Zheng was still clamoring to help his father, but stayed here to work, but was driven away by Zhao Kuo unhappy.

The mother and son sat on the shore, watching Zhao Kuo carrying a hoe, and the hoe fell hard on the ground, digging some mud, throwing it aside, and continuing to dig. Soon he could dig a deep gully. The people came with stones coming. Zhao Kuo helped to break it and spread the stones in the dug gully. Zhao Kuo was naked, sweat was flowing all over his body, and the high and bulging muscles, and the wounds staggered on his body always made people feel shocked.

When he was tired, Zhao Kuo sat on the side of the ravine and rested. Yi came up to hand him water. Zhao Zheng jumped off the hills and valleys, imitating his father's appearance, picked up the hoe, but couldn't move it, so he could only drag the hoe around. The people around him watched this scene with a smile. When they saw Zhao Zheng running, they would pinch his face and tease him. Yi sat aside and looked at Zhao Kuo's panting, he felt a little distressed.

But she was not easy to dissuade her, so she could only whisper: "Eat on time... Don't always do this. Put on your clothes. If it is dirty, I can wash it. I'm afraid you will get sick..."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I understand!" Then he asked about his mother's situation again, and asked about the situation in the school room. Yi said, "Mother is very good, she misses you very much. She wants to come, but I didn't let her come. I was afraid that she would worry when she saw you, so I told her that you were sitting in the camp with Zheng Guo to determine the direction of the canal..."

"Han Fei is teaching for the other disciples. Mr. Zou Yan is always pestering him. He also stayed in the horse costume. He occasionally went to the school room to discuss knowledge with his disciples. He did not believe that the land was round, nor did he believe that the map you drew..."

"What about you, do you believe it?"

"I believe whatever you say."

Zhao Kuo smiled happily, reached out his hand, held her hand, then quietly drank water and looked ahead. Zhao Zheng was playing in the distance, the people were digging channels, some were carrying stones, and officials were also helping them. Looking around from here, all they saw were hardworking and poor people.

"Stay here today?"

"Zheng'er..."
