The countries fought against each other and wanted to strengthen their national strength and make breakthroughs. The war between Zhao and Yan did not benefit them. Yan lost the city and lost the wise prime minister. A small-scale rebellion occurred in the Liaodong area. The Anliao policy that Jiangqu lasted for three years was completely destroyed. Many ministers of Yan also chose to leave. The King of Yan beat Jiangqu made them very angry.

Such an rude king was obviously not worthy of their service. The King of Yan believed that all this was Jiang Qu's fault and secretly sent warriors to kill Jiang Qu.

The warriors who went to kill Jiang Qu could not bear to hurt Jiang Qu, and after escorting Jiang Qu to escape from Yan State, they committed suicide.

After driving the canal to Qi State, no one saw him again.

Some people say: I have seen Jiangqu with a hoe and follow the people to farm. Some people say: I have seen Jiangqu build straw mats for others to make a living. In any case, no one has ever seen this prime minister again, which makes King Zhao feel very regretful. King Zhao is very grateful to King Yan. The attack of King Yan made King Zhao successfully focus the people of Zhao and encourage the people of Zhao by defeating Yan.

There are not many good people like this.

The interference of Qi in this war did not bring them any benefits. The Queen's condition was that the Qi State was chaotic, the government was not in line with the government's orders, the King of Qi was indecisive, and he had no opinion on anything. He was used to obeying his mother's arrangements. After his mother could no longer give advice for him, King Jian of Qi panicked and stopped seeing his ministers and stayed by his mother's side all day long.

Some Confucians praised his behavior and believed that there was no more filial king in the world than the King of Qi.

However, Xunzi severely reprimanded the King of Qi's behavior. Xunzi believed that the King of Qi was dedicated to governing the country and not letting down his mother's high hopes. This was true filial piety. He was with his mother all day long and abandoning government affairs. He only hoped that his mother would get better soon and then help him deal with government affairs. This was a very selfish person, and he was definitely not a filial son. Xunzi even told Zhao Zheng: Never learn such selfish filial piety. True filial piety is to fulfill his parents' good wishes.

The original prosperity of Qi State suddenly disappeared.

In the State of Wei, the King of Wei still did not find the most suitable and talented successor, which made the King of Wei sigh: Why are the wise men in the world not in the State of Wei? Kong Bin, who he sent someone to invite, was sold to King Zhao only a few months later. The policies that Kong Bin had previously implemented in the State of Wei were all abolished by the King of Wei. Incompetent villains such as Duan Ganzi, as well as those who were unwilling to give advice to King of Wei, were once again summoned to the temple.

The King of Wei was very disappointed with Kong Bin and believed that his talents were not worthy of his fame, so he still did not make the Wei Kingdom strong.

King Zhao was still very happy. After he invited Kong Bin, he immediately held a banquet to entertain Kong Bin. He replaced Li Mu with Kong Bin as a false preface. Li Mu continued to send him to Yunzhong to guard the frontier. King Zhao asked Kong Bin several times for advice on the policy of governing the country. Kong Bin told King Zhao very firmly: "In less than twenty years, the world will belong to Qin. If you do not have the courage to reform and cannot make Zhao stronger in a short period of time, Zhao will definitely perish in your hands."

The ministers were very angry when they heard Kong Bin's words, but King Zhao asked happily: "I heard that Qin is a brutal country. The king never governs the country with morality and ethics. Please tell me how to resist him?" After Kong Bin inspected Zhao, he came up with a plan. Unlike the plan of Wei, the plan he came up with was to build granaries in various places, so that food can be stored in various places, so that the people can be saved in disasters, and the soldiers can avoid starving to death during wartime, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind.

It was Han Fei who combined what he said in his daily life with the policies he thought of, and formed a policy system that could barely be seen. Although there were many loopholes and were not appropriate, if it was not burned in the future, it should still have some effect. China's feudal dynasty was a process of continuous strengthening of the monarchy and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Zhao Kuo's horse uniform book can be said to be in any dynasty. When the war is over, people will be surprised to find that the light taxes and levies are suitable for the people to rest. When the tyrants rise together, they will find that the migrating local tyrants and the policy of curbing their development is quite suitable for the present. When the aristocratic families are in trouble, they will find that the imperial examination system can be used... Zhao Kuo thought about this, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly called Zhao Zheng who was playing in the courtyard.

It is rare that Xunzi is going to travel to various parts of Qin with Gongsun Long today. Zhao Zheng had a holiday and saw his father calling him, he walked to him reluctantly and paid homage to the dark-faced official. Li Bing looked at him with a smile and said, "Is this your son? He is much younger than my son..." Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Zheng seriously with a stern face: "Books are very useful things and should not be burned."

"Father? I didn't burn books!!!", Zhao Zheng widened his eyes in confusion and said aggrievedly.

"I know, I'm not allowed to do this in the future."

"Um..."

"Okay, go and have fun."

Zhao Zheng then jumped and left.

Li Bing didn't understand why Wu Chengjun called his son while chatting with him, gave him an inexplicable command, and let him leave. Li Bing asked about some advanced systems, including the system of migration of powerful people proposed by Zhao Kuo. Migrating powerful people was a common method adopted by the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, local powerful people emerged, and they occupied a large amount of land and bullied the local people...

Of course, there is no powerful man in Qin State... The powerful man in Qin State is all soldiers with titles. They exchanged military merits for land and retainers. But they dare not say that they oppress the people and annexed land. This is a serious crime in Qin State. Not to mention soldiers with third or fourth-level titles, even Ying Hou could not do this. Li Bing said: "If a king of the world has no war and those formerly meritorious soldiers lose the way to continue to obtain land, they will definitely obtain cultivated land as you said... through illegal means."

Unexpectedly, Li Bing was quite far-sighted. He talked to Zhao Kuo about his views on the post-war world. Many of his thoughts coincided with Zhao Kuo, and even conformed to history. What Li Bing was most worried about was the demise of Qin. Qin was a country built on war. If one day the war really ended, where should this country go?

The two of them were chatting, and Zheng State hurriedly walked in. He had heard the name Li Bing many times in Zhao Kuo's mouth. After coming to Qin, he also heard the name from others. Now that he heard that this person came to Xianyang, Zheng State hurriedly went to search, searched many places, but did not find him. Finally, he heard that he was at Zhao Kuo's place, so he rushed over.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly introduced the Zheng State to Li Bing. The two major engineers met, and both sides were a little excited.

The two shook hands and sat down to talk about water conservancy projects. Li Bing was talking about the canal that Zheng State wanted to build, believing that this action would benefit Guanzhong for thousands of years. Zheng State was praising Li Bing's Dujiangyan, believing that no one could surpass it. When the two met, their words turned into professional terms. Zhao Kuo sat aside and had no way to integrate it. He couldn't understand what these two were saying.

Zheng Guo talked about his plan, and he even brought the plan. Zheng Guo and he spread the plan on the ground. The two knelt on the ground regardless of etiquette, squeezed together, took out their fingers to paint on the soil. Zhao Kuo could see that they were making design drawings, and Zhao Kuo didn't dare to disturb them, so they could only look at the drawings they drew. The two of them quarreled, laughed, and were angry at all, and they didn't look like a big engineer...

Zhao Kuo quietly stood up and left here. As soon as he walked into the inner room, he saw Zhao Zheng looking at the two people in the distance with a blank look on his face. Zhao Zheng raised his head and asked, "Father, what are they doing?" Zhao Kuo lowered his voice and said, "They are discussing to build many canals in Qin..." Zhao Zheng suddenly realized, nodded, and asked, "What's the use of this?"

"It is conducive to irrigation and preventing floods, and it has a great effect!"

"Political, the construction of water conservancy is a matter that will last forever, and this must be paid attention to. But the problem is that it also depends on the impact on the present. It cannot be said that it will constantly exploit the contemporary people for the sake of later interests. This is not possible. On the basis of not causing serious consequences and not harming the people, it is very good to build useful channels and turn fierce water into things that are beneficial to agriculture and sericulture and the people."

"You have to respect such people... Of course, except for evil people, anyone deserves respect."

"I know, Mr. Gongsun told me: There is no eternal noble person, no eternal humble person. If you look down on those lowly people based on your current nobleness, you will become lowly people and be treated the same day."

Zhao Kuo happily rubbed Zhao Zheng's head, "It's OK."

Zhao Zheng raised his head and smiled proudly at his father. Now he seemed a little too mature under the influence of Xunzi and others. Only when facing Zhao Kuo and other family members could he reveal his own child's side. Zhao Zheng was about to say something, but suddenly looked ahead and shouted: "Father! No! They are fighting!!" Zhao Kuo immediately looked forward and saw the two staring at each other angrily, confronting each other like angry bulls.

Zhao Kuo hurried forward and separated the two.

After inquiring, I found out that the two had a quarrel because of disagreement in their ideas.

Zheng Guo was a thorough engineer. He did not calculate the cost of people's resources and material resources when doing projects, nor did he care about how many people's normal lives such construction projects would affect. Li Bing was different. Li Bing was a local parent official. During the construction process, he would consider these things. His starting point was to benefit the local people, and would not let the projects affect the farming and sericulture and the normal lives of the people.
