"What? We need to recruit elite troops guarding Handan?"

King Zhao glared his eyes widened, and suddenly shook his head like a rattle, saying, "They are used to guard Handan. If they are transferred abroad, wouldn't Handan be dangerous? No, it's absolutely not possible." At this moment, the banquet had already dispersed, and Wei Wuji, Yu Qing, Zhao Kuo and Lian Po stayed. The prime minister and the false prime minister, the general and the prince, these four people were already the highest level of civil and military affairs in Zhao State.

When King Zhao heard what Zhao Kuo said that the soldiers who could be recruited were the elite guarding the royal city, King Zhao was immediately panicked. The King Zhao spent a lot of money on this group of elite soldiers. Not only were the best noble officers, but also the most stringent training. He could often eat the meat rewarded by King Zhao. They were tall and brave and good at fighting. At that time, the Wei State trained an elite military soldier, which made the princes unable to raise their heads. This was considered a high-quality imitation of Wei Wushu that King Zhao wanted to imitate.

It is precisely because of the importance that King Zhao will not use them easily. When he has to fight in practice on weekdays, he will not put them in the most dangerous place. This is what Lian Po hates the most. Which army was not tempered from war? In Lian Po’s opinion, the army that King Zhao attached the most was not as good as the peasants whom he temporarily conscripted from Handan. Seeing that King Zhao was so determined, Zhao Kuo did not speak up again.

Lian Po said angrily: "Where are the bandits outside Handan? Compared to Handan, I am more worried that these useless soldiers will harm Ma Fujun. They have never experienced fierce battles and are definitely not opponents of the Qin people." King Zhao did not hear Lian Po's complaints at that time. Speaking of which, King Zhao really disliked Lian Po. This was probably because Lian Po's honesty. Yu Qing was also a frank person, but at least he would not point at King Zhao to curse...

There are many generals in Zhao State. Because of military merits and titles, there are also many lords. However, Lian Po has been fighting for decades and is still a noble minister and has not lords. This is not unreasonable. Lian Po's straightforwardness will make him say why I should be inferior to Lin Xiangru in front of others. When I meet, I must humiliate him. His frankness will also make him apologize to him personally after hearing Lin Xiangru's words.

Wei Wuji opened his drunken eyes and looked at King Zhao in front of him. He said, "Shangjun, is Ma Fujun not as good as this elite in your heart? You can train such elites for you in one year, but where do you want to find such a talent like Ma Fujun? You are so negligent, it is really not something that a wise king can do!"

King Zhao couldn't speak at once. He stood up, gritted his teeth, wandering back and forth, looked at Zhao Kuo who was sitting upright, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Then send 10,000 elite troops, and Ma Fujun will command the command..."

"It turns out that Ma Fujun is only worth ten thousand elites in your heart... I wonder how many elites I can defeat?" Wei Wuji sighed.

"Okay! OK! Please take them all out!" King Zhao said with distress.

King Zhao didn't care how much benefit it could get in rescue of South Korea, nor did he care how miserable the Koreans would be. He just cared about Ma Fujun. After hearing King Zhao's words, Wei Wuji laughed. Zhao Kuo stood up and said, "Thank you, thank you." King Zhao nodded and said firmly to Zhao Kuo: "If you can go on the expedition this time, please capture Bai Qi for me, and his deputy general Meng Wu... If you can't, I won't blame you, please don't be in danger because of this."

If it were in the past, Zhao Kuo would have been very angry, but now that he is familiar with King Zhao's character, Zhao Kuo must not be surprised. The King of Zhao has always believed that he could capture Bai Qi. Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "If possible, I will definitely capture him."

King Zhao was only happy because he knew that Ma Fujun would never lie to him. When he thought that it was possible to let a general like Bai Qi stay in Zhao State, King Zhao threw the 20,000 elite troops behind him. In fact, King Zhao still had a lot of things to say to Zhao Kuo, but Wei Wuji did not give him this opportunity. He still had many important government affairs to discuss with Zhao Kuo. How could you keep it in the palace?

Wei Wuji took Zhao Kuo away, and King Zhao sent them away reluctantly. Looking at the remaining Yu Qing and Lian Po, King Zhao suddenly had no intention of chatting again, and let them go back to rest in a depressed mood.

Sitting in the courtyard, Wei Wuji's disciples pulled Zhao Kuo's disciples to drink. Wei Wuji is now extremely famous in Handan. The series of changes he promoted have harmed many people, especially after he removed the appointment power of local officials, it aroused public anger. The original local minor officials were directly appointed by superior officials, which was to arrange their confidants. Now Wei Wuji has removed their power, which has a huge impact on them.

Why did the disciples follow them? They could not get the disciples to accept them with their personal charm like Zhao Kuo. The disciples helped them naturally in order to get rewards. Those who came to give gifts and wanted to make friends with them also wanted these powers in their hands. Wei Wuji's actions can be said to have angered all the nobles, especially after the order of the recommender to be guilty of the same crime, this hatred towards him was already extremely huge.

Even the ministers in the palace dared not recommend their friends casually, and the culprit of all this was Wei Wuji!

Therefore, the dirty water is flying all over the sky, which means that there is a disaster in Zhao. This is Wei Wuji's fault. Wei Wuji himself drinks and enjoys every day. After drinking, he kills the people at will, forcibly robs the women of the people, and indulges the guests to make trouble. The most terrifying thing is his guests. It is said that Wei Wuji's guests are delicious and will be arrested and eaten when they meet a lonely person. In such an atmosphere, Wei Wuji's guests are not popular in all places.

Only Ma Fujun's disciples were still very close to them. Before Zhao Kuo left, Li Yu left behind to take his disciples to support the people. After Li Yu completed his mission, he stayed in Ma Fu. Wei Wuji's cannibals often went to find him. Li Yu warmly treated them and did not hate them. Wei Wuji's disciples had the temperament of Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji was once refuted by Zhao Hui repeatedly in the palace. He walked to Zhao Hui and said to Zhao Hui: I will eat you in the evening.

Zhao Hui's face was pale, he said nothing, and he was still lying on the sickbed for sixteen days.

The same is true for Wei Wuji's disciples. They often gather together and happily chat about cannibalism, which scared the rest of them to hide and dare not get close.

When Wei Wuji's disciples smiled and talked about eating people with Di, Di became energetic, licked his lips, and asked, "Is it delicious?" Now, Wei Wuji's disciples were frightened and hurriedly avoided and dared not approach.

Wei Wuji looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him. Zhao Kuo was still not drinking, frowning, and still looked so melancholy. Wei Wuji smiled and said, "I did a lot of things when you were traveling." He paused and said seriously: "I punished those officials who were fishing and meat, punished the ministers who recommended them, abolished the appointment and removal of lower-level officials, and established a system of the same crimes as recommended..."

"The assessment of local minor officials is not a simple matter. It is currently only implemented in Handan County... Yu Qing is a talented person. He set up different exam questions for different positions. He recruited 63 qualified minor officials and has sent him to various places in Handan County. However, the county magistrate and county magistrate were making it difficult for these officials who passed the assessment to resign and leave... This is not an easy task."

"I think, only by changing the county magistrate and others can the purpose of rectifying the administration can we achieve it. Otherwise, in the local area, they will be bullied everywhere and will not be able to do anything..."

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. Wei Wuji was actually promoting his past thoughts. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't know whether the improvements he proposed were really suitable for this era and whether they could do anything for the people of Zhao. Wei Wuji seemed to see Zhao Kuo's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Please don't worry, this is a good thing. The officials selected by Yu Qing are all qualified officials, at least they won't even be able to calculate the taxes clearly..."

"The position of the county magistrate is now appointed by Shangjun. If he passes the assessment, I am afraid... Shangjun will not agree. I wonder if you have any solutions?"

Zhao Kuo raised his head and said, "The reason they made things difficult for the officials is to regain their power and to destroy reforms. If we can establish a mature supervision system, those with political achievements can be promoted, while those without political achievements will be dismissed. In this way, even for themselves, they can only accept these capable officials and use their power to improve their political achievements."

"What kind of supervision system?"

"The Lord Shang will appoint upright people to serve as governors in various counties. The governor must not interfere in local government affairs. If the supervisor is under his command, he can be dispatched. The governor will patrol the local area and report bad behavior. At the end of the year, the governor will inform the Lord Shang of the local political achievements and mistakes, and promote and dismiss officials accordingly..." Wei Wuji lowered his head and murmured: "Shou, Wei, Supervisor..." He raised his head suddenly and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense."

"In the local area, we can follow the Qin State, add statutes in counties, set up ranks in towns, travelers, and pavilions...."

The two started talking, from the local area to the palace, from taxation to farming and sericulture, and in the morning, Zhao Kuo had only rested in Wei Wuji's mansion for a long time. When he got up, many distinguished guests had already come to visit him. The first person to visit him was naturally Dong Chengzi. Dong Chengzi had been busy writing the law during this period. Dong Chengzi initially felt that this was not difficult until he started to lose his hair...

Fortunately, there is a formed Qin Rule for his reference, otherwise, Dong Chengzi would be killed by exhaustion.

Dong Chengzi brought the part he wrote and handed it to Zhao Kuo for inspection. On the basis of Qin law, Dong Chengzi revised the law of Zhao State. This was a weakened version of Qin law, which exempted some death crimes, such as private fighting and wandering crimes. Dong Chengzi made appropriate changes. In Qin State, fighting with others privately would cause the beard and hair to be cut off. Wandering outside for no reason would be arrested...

In Dong Chengzi's law, if you fight with others, those who have ever had to pay for it, those who passively fight back will not be investigated.

Just like this, Zhao Kuo looked at these laws and said to Dong Chengzi: "A law that is not comprehensive enough cannot be used to govern the country. All aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation must be included in the law. What is the crime of lending houses to people who cannot prove their identity? What is the crime of getting sick after eating food in a restaurant? What kind of punishment will the noble person suffer from the punishment of hurting the people or killing poultry and livestock?"

"If the law only focuses on criminal matters and does not involve civil matters or business, it is simple..."

Dong Chengzi was dizzy when he heard this, and couldn't help but rub his forehead. It would involve all aspects? How long does it take to write it? When Dong Chengzi asked his questions, Zhao Kuo said to him seriously: "A perfect law can be applied for thousands of years. How can it be completed quickly?"

Dong Chengzi had no choice but to ask someone to take these bamboo slips and bow to Zhao Kuo, and then left. He swore to Zhao Kuo that he would seriously complete this law of Zhao State.

After he left, Pang Yan, Lian Po, Yu Qing and others came to ask about government affairs. Pang Yan asked about the official system in the palace, Lian Po asked about the military system, and even Lou Yan came. Zhao Kuo looked at Lou Yan in front of him with complicated eyes. Lou Yan was like his son Lou Chang, who was missing because of his son's death. Lou Yan didn't seem to care about these things, and he didn't even complain about Dong Chengzi, the "murderer" who directly caused this result.

This made Zhao Kuo feel a little puzzled. Lou Yan came to ask about agriculture and serenity matters. After receiving Zhao Kuo's answer, he asked with a smile: "There is a friend from Xianyang who wants me to thank you for your kindness and thank you for taking in his wife and son." Sure enough, he came for another purpose. Zhao Kuo said: "I can send his wife and son to Xianyang and let them return to his side."

"No need...there is a war now, and there are many inconveniences." Lou Yan said, and he took out a bamboo slip, put it in front of Zhao Kuo, smiled, and left.

Zhao Kuo picked up the bamboo slips and started to read them seriously.

"The barbarians do not know the principle of benevolence, so they need wise gentlemen to teach them. I heard your reputation of benevolence and righteousness and want to invite you to come to Qin and teach the Qin people. When you arrive, I will go out to Xianyang to greet you thirty miles away and drive you personally... I know that the people in the world are suffering from war, and I feel very sad. I want to end this war and treat my people benevolently, but no one around me can ask for advice..."

Zhao Kuo was stunned. This was the letter from the King of Qin to him?

.........

Xianyang

"What did you say? Ma Fujun might lead his troops to the battle?" The King of Qin looked at Fan Ju in surprise.

"When I received the report, he had already arrived in Dai County. Now, he should have arrived in Handan. He wanted to send troops to South Korea. King Zhao would not refuse him." Fan Ju said seriously. The King of Qin looked very worried. He frowned and restless. Fan Ju smiled and said, "Please don't worry. Although Ma Fujun is talented, it cannot affect the overall situation. Wu Anjun will not let him save South Korea."

"I am not worried about this... I am worried that Wu Anjun will hurt Ma Fujun..."
