Lu Buwei stared at the palace affectionately for the last time with a crutch.

I still remember that when the young master Yiren was in his prime, he held his hand and strode into the place, promising to make the wealthiest Nanyang his fief.

I still remember that they were ambitious and wanted to complete the great cause of the world together.

I still remember the unwilling appearance before Yi Ren passed away... Lu Buwei smiled bitterly. Since the death of the young master, many things seemed to have lost their meaning, and no one trusted himself as much as he did. The scene of growing up and cheering for each other's achievements was gone. He sighed and walked out of the palace reluctantly under the service of his left and right, turning back from time to time, looking behind him.

Zhao Kuo was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. When he saw Lu Buwei walking out, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you can finally put down your government affairs and do something you want to do..." Lu Buwei was stunned and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do at my age?"

"Over the years, apart from government affairs, have you not had anything you really want to accomplish?"

Lu Buwei was stunned for a long time, and suddenly, he said, "I forgot..."

When Lu Buwei was no longer the prime minister, his mansion became empty, and no guests came to visit him. The one who visited him the most was Zhao Kuo, who rarely came in the past, sat together and quoted classics. As the two of the most outstanding masters of the same era, they were also very good at absorbing and accepting. They still had many topics. They often started talking from history, then talked about systems and culture, and didn't feel tired after talking for a few hours.

The conversation and debate between the two are not like debates or negotiations, they just tell their own words and express their thoughts. Zhao Kuo will gather what he learned in his later generations to talk about his heart and express his concerns about the future, including land annexation issues, landlords and powerful issues, and family families. Of course, he will also put forward his views on the past and the future.

The future will look at the past history and look at the unknown future from the current perspective.

After the two of them removed all the burdens, their conversations were very casual. Lu Buwei also expressed a lot of his understanding. He was happily talking about the future institutional transition of Qin and the future development trends. The little official who served Lu Buwei suddenly felt that he might be able to record the conversation between the two. Neither Zhao Kuo nor Lu Buwei said much about the behavior of the little official.

Their chat range is very wide and they are always jumping, which brings great trouble to the recorded officials. The registered officials cannot organize them like Han Fei, so they can only record them truthfully.

"When the war is over, the military aristocrats in the past will become local tyrants... If they want to obtain more land, they have to go to war, but wars are not always available. After hundreds of years, these people will not be able to obtain military merit from war, so they can only obtain land through other ways... Unless a new system is adopted, when the local tyrants appear, they will migrate them elsewhere... This seems unfair, but it is the best way to temporarily solve the problem."

"And you see, my family, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, etc., will become a powerful family in a hundred years. Their appearance will cause a monopoly on knowledge and talents..."

"As long as the school room system can continue to be maintained, this situation should not happen, right?"

"It still has to be educated more people..."

"I think the history of the king's era will be a battle between the local government and the central government, the king and the ministers... the trend must be that centralization is becoming more and more powerful, and the monarchy is gradually reaching its peak..."

Zhao Kuo's life is not as tired as before. There are many outstanding young people in China who can take over his job. Every day he just checks out promotional matters, chats with Lu Buwei, and then asks about war. During this period, Wang Jian captured Yan State and the incident of fighting with Donghu spread. Zhao Kuo's judgment without thinking that Wang Jian would definitely hit Donghu severely.

Sure enough, not long after, news came that Wang Jian severely injured Donghu in Yan land. After the killing Donghu escaped from the Great Wall, Wang Jian continued to pursue. Meng Tian and Li Xin were vanguards to chase Donghu King. In the end, Meng Tian shot and killed Donghu King and brought back his body. However, Li Xin lost his way and could only give up the great achievements... Wang Jian actually killed Donghu King, which was something that everyone had not expected, and probably Donghu himself did not expect.

It can only be said that Wang Jian defeated Donghu's group wolf tactics, and Donghu's group wolf tactics were to open the front line to advance. When talking about opening the front line, Wang Jian was about to say that when he was fighting with Li Mu in Hanoi, he opened the front line and fought Li Mu to retreat step by step, and almost destroyed Zhao State. Compared with Li Mu, these Hu people were really nothing... Wang Jian commanded the troops from all over the country, first defeated the small tribes, then put them in sacks, punched and kicked...

The most pitiful thing is the King of Donghu. The King of Donghu himself is quite powerful. However, he was not lucky and wanted to attack Xiangping. He hit the main force of Wang Jian who was stationed in Xiangping. The main force of 100,000 people chased Donghu King 50,000 to 60,000 people and beat him hard. The King of Donghu asked tribes from all over the country to come to rescue him. Wang Jian surrounded and attacked the support, waiting for the other party to send his head. In the end, he drove the remnants of Donghu hundreds of miles outside the Great Wall, and the King of Donghu was cut off.

Wang Jian finally got the best of his wishes, conquered Yan State, and captured the king, and the King of Donghu was also the king!

In this way, Wang Jian finally made up enough of his military achievements, and Qin State achieved the goal of training troops, and even severely damaged a potential enemy. The Donghu people could probably remember this lesson for a long time. For a long time, they probably didn't dare to look in the direction of Qin State. Wang Jian and other soldiers were very happy, and Li Si in the temple was very painful.

This war brought hundreds of additional counties in Qin... These counties all need to arrange officials. The territory of Yan State is very large, second only to Qin and Chu. How many officials should be needed to manage this area well? Li Si began to prepare for the local appeasement and governance work, but Li Si did not expect that the kind-hearted King of Yan followed Qin State and cultivated many officials proficient in the law in Yan State... Well, he also helped Qin State promote the law free of charge.

Li Si was a little moved. Good people like this were rare.

How great would it be if there were more people like Yan Dan in the world.

Unfortunately, the kings of Chu and Qi were not like the King of Yan. After learning about the destruction of Yan, the condition of the King of Chu seemed to worsen further. The King of Qi also noticed the threat and asked Hou Sheng to rectify the army. The more he was doing it, the worse it was... Qin and the two of them were too lazy to care about these two people. In the current situation, they were not opponents of Qin. The only one worthy of attention was Xiang Yan of Chu.

After he was defeated by Zhao Kuo, he began to imitate Qin, train his army, rectify military discipline, and wanted to quickly train an army that could withstand Qin. It is said that there were some achievements. The main reason was that the nobles of Chu were also afraid, and stopped fighting for power with the King of Chu, and began to help Xiang Yan with all their strength, wanting to defend Chu.

Zhao Kuo held his hands behind his back. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Fusu crying and complaining to Yi. When Fusu saw the eldest father walking in, he hurriedly raised his hand and came to him. Zhao Kuo looked down and saw his red palm, "Have your father beat you?"

"It's the teacher, the teacher beat me." Fusu said aggrievedly. Fusu's current teacher is Han Fei... Ying Zheng still sent Fusu to Han Fei's side. He was very relieved about Han Fei. Fusu's child is not making a fuss. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to learn Han Fei's knowledge at this age. Han Fei treats students very harshly and has a complete Legal style. Zhao Kuo felt a little distressed, but he just said a few words.

Sooner or later, this child will become the king of Qin and will shoulder a great responsibility. Even if he loves him, he will never harm him.

Never be like the King of Qi... Zhao Kuo is the kindness and righteousness in Fusu. He is less domineering than his father, but he is more kind, but he is not stupid. Although he is not as fast as his father, he is considerably faster. Moreover, he is born with a temperament that can make people like, just like Zhao Kuo. Zhang Cang often comes to Zhao Kuo's mansion to study. Fusu likes him very much and often asks him for advice.

Zhang Cang, a scholar, has nothing to stop him from studying. He is extremely serious in studying and can even forget the passage of time. Zhao Kuo cannot do this at the moment. Zhao Kang hated him very much and did not like to pay attention to him. Instead, Ying Zheng, after talking to him a few times, he valued him very much and believed that he would definitely be able to do something.

It was also at this time that Wang Jian returned to Qin with his army, and the Mo family finally made several pieces of equipment needed by the cavalry. The saddle and stirrup were not very difficult. It was very simple to make it. Horseshoe was a bit difficult because no one had done it, and he had never 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's back and his eyes lit up. Before Zhao Kuo could speak, he couldn't help but ride on it.

He felt the new changes brought by the stirrups and saddles, and ran up in the courtyard. Suddenly, he let go of his hands and tried to stand up. The Mo craftsmen around him were shocked. Fortunately, Zhao Kang's riding skills were superb enough, and after many tricks, they did not fall down... The craftsmen couldn't help cheering, cheering for Zhao Kang, only Zhao Kuo, who calmly watched Zhao Kang show his skills, unmoved.

Zhao Kang laughed and jumped off the horse's back. He rushed straight towards Wu Huo of the Mo family. Before Wu Huo could react, Zhao Kang saved him and shouted happily: "

OK! OK! Great! Great!!" As a general and equestrian enthusiast, no one knows the changes brought by these things better than Zhao Kang... Zhao Kang was really happy, and he couldn't suppress his inner excitement.

Wu Yu was confused and looked at Zhao Kang who was ecstatic in front of him. He took a few steps back. Zhao Kang stared at him again and asked, "Can you make another crossbow that can shoot three hundred steps away?"

"I...."

......

When Wang Jian returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng personally welcomed him and celebrated his triumph with the highest etiquette. Wang Jian gave the head of the King of Donghu and the map of Yan State. Wang Jian finally got his wish and became the King of Guannei and became the King of Yiyang of Qin. At this point, he leveled the distance with Zhao Kang and became an equal existence, and was even more real than Zhao Kang, the lord, without any water.

The Yan State was destroyed, but Yan Land was not completely controlled. Qin State had a lot of things to do. However, these were all the things of Li Si and the others, and Zhao Kuo could not help. Zhao Kuo first helped the Mo family to present the three-piece cavalry set to the King of Qin, and instructed the King of Qin to pay attention to the promotion of enlightenment textbooks and the three-old system. Then he led a group of disciples from the farm to Yan State. The reason why he wanted to go to Yan State was because Wang Jian and other officers informed him of the situation of Yan State.

There is a lot of land in Yan State, but the yield is very low. I don’t know if it is because of the soil or crops.

In Zhao Kuo's impression, the Northeast is a heavy grain-producing land. When it comes to Chinese granaries, many people will subconsciously think of the southern region. In fact, the highest grain output is the Northeast region known as the Chinese granaries. So what is the reason why the agricultural level here is so backward? He wants to explore the truth. If the crops here can be improved, or the reasons can be found and developed here, it is a good thing. The northeast region has a flat and open terrain, fertile soil, sufficient irrigation water sources, and a suitable climate for farming.

If there is a problem of land annexation in the future, the open Northeast region and the Jiangnan region that have not yet been fully developed will be the best way out.

Of course, every time Zhao Kuo went out, he wanted to check the situation in the local area. He rushed from Xianyang to Yan. Along the way, he was watching the situation at the bottom and observing the situation of the people in various places under the Qin system. The Sanjin area has improved a little. Since the last war, many Zhao people who participated in the war have become military aristocrats of Qin. After tasted the benefits, the attitudes of these people seemed to have changed.

With the three old system promoted by Qin, local people's resistance to Qin 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 were indeed many land here, but there were too few people here, with forests everywhere, empty, as if he had come to a wild world, and there were no traces of human beings for a long time, and there were not even roads in some areas.

After finally seeing the township and the cultivated land, Zhao Kuo saw several men pulling the plow and working hard in the cultivated land.

The plow looked very broken, and they didn't even have cows.
