In Xianyang, Zhao Kuo never thought that he would come here. Perhaps his guests and his disciples never thought that Ge joked: We have arrived in Xianyang. Now, they have really arrived in Xianyang. Xianyang is different from other kings. He has no city walls... only palace walls, which seems a bit incredible to everyone. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Qin people, there are enough city walls and checkpoints outside Xianyang, so that they do not have to build walls here to trap themselves.

The Qin people had such determination and courage, but they probably did not expect that if the enemy really broke through those levels and came here, they would have no way to continue to resist.

Xianyang is the capital of the royal capital, but there is no prosperous scene like Handan and Daliang. In other words, there are not many pedestrians on the road. The construction of the Qin State is very rigorous. Merchants gather in the city, and the market is open and closed in the morning and evening. Business is not allowed in other places. The Qin State is also the only country that gives "invoices" when trading. They must have certificates when conducting transactions. If you cannot prove where you bought your things, you will be in big trouble.

There are no raids in Qin State, the people are busy in the farmland, the craftsmen are in workshops, and officials are in the mansions, which makes the roads particularly empty and there is no crowded scene like Handan. The people of Qin State cannot go out for no reason. If they want to leave their homes, they want to ask the official and the pavilion chief to ask for a message? The reason must be legitimate? For example, go to see a doctor, go to practice? Go to buy things...

And you have to return within the specified time? What to visit relatives and walk around the streets? It is basically impossible and not allowed.

But on holidays? You have to visit your distant relatives? It is still OK, but you can't waste too much time. Go back when you go, otherwise you will be arrested and asked for guilt. Qin State is guilty of wandering? Just wandering around other places? You will be arrested and shaved your beard... At this time, people attach great importance to bearded and hair. Shaving your hair and beard is a very serious punishment. Anyone who sees you will know that you are a criminal and makes things difficult for you everywhere? Direct social death.

Of course, this does not mean that people at this time have messy hair? They can also repair their hair and beards, but they will never shave them... Those who have white faces and no beards are castrated people.

Therefore? After Zhao Kuo came to Xianyang, what he saw was such an empty city? Occasionally, he could see officials who went out to work? There were also farmers who went to the city... This was not many. Zhao Kuo felt a little uncomfortable? In fact, proper entertainment is not a bad thing. People have material and spiritual needs... Of course, it is still in troubled times. It is not easy for people to survive. Zhao Kuo cannot be responsible for the system of Qin. It is completely wrong.

At least, Qin can ensure that its people will not starve to death or freeze to death.

But in other countries, it is normal for people to starve to death and freeze to death.

The King of Qin had already arranged a residence for Zhao Kuo in Xianyang. This was a mansion with a large area. The interior decoration was not luxurious. The King of Qin knew Zhao Kuo's character. He knew that too luxurious houses would arouse Zhao Kuo's disgust. All the furniture in the courtyard was complete, and even the granary was full. Qin did not recommend that nobles raise their disciples, and the King of Qin also hated such behavior. However, he opened the line to Zhao Kuo and the King of Qin and arranged residences for his disciples.

Just around Zhao Kuo's mansion.

Zhao's mother hugged Kang and walked into this large courtyard. Of course, this place was more spacious than the one in the horse costume. The courtyard wall was so tall. However, Zhao's mother was not happy in her eyes. She hugged the child in her arms tightly. She walked into the room. Yi struggled to get off the car, but she really had no strength and looked pale. Zhao Kuo quickly walked forward, bent down, and hugged her up.

Yi was a little surprised, and then she was shy, and everyone turned around and ignored it. Zhao Kuo hugged Yi and carried her into the inner room. Yi was very light, and Zhao Kuo didn't even have much effort, so he put her on the bed indoor. Zhao Zheng was very excited. He looked at this spacious courtyard and ran back and forth in the courtyard. The courtyard was large enough that he could let him drive his own "chariot" to play.

The guests also checked in.

Han Fei still lived here. Although he had explored his own path, he felt that he still had a lot of things to learn. Zhao Kuo seemed to know a lot of knowledge. Han Fei could always dig out a lot of things, which could make his doctrine more mature. Xunzi and Gongsun Long lived together. Since the last debate, these two old men have become addicted.

Confucianism has always had flaws in logic. Mozi often bullies Confucians through logic. Now, Xunzi seems to have seen a lot of useful logic content in Gongsun Long, and Gongsun Long also needs to find a way to govern the country for famous scholars. So, the two began the debate according to logic propositions, and never stopped from morning to night.

Even when eating, they can debate according to their dietary knowledge.

The two were inseparable, and the biggest victim was probably Li Si, who was caught between them. Although Li Si had his own opinions, he seemed a little indifferent to standing in front of these two people as young as he stood in front of these two people. Gongsun Long wanted to suppress Xunzi by persuading Li Si, and Xunzi also wanted Li Si to admit his theory. Li Si could not fall asleep at night when he was often tortured by them, and his mind was full of their words.

Zhao Kuo ushered in his first cold winter in Xianyang.

The winter here is slightly warmer than that in Zhao State... However, the winter here is also colder than in Zhao State.

Sitting in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo always thinks of his friends. I don’t know if Xinling Jun is still drinking his wine, I don’t know if Li Mu can heal the pain on his body, I don’t know if Dong Chengzi has lost his hair again... And if the people of Ping Gong and the horse-dressed people miss themselves? Do the people of Zhao have been frozen in this cold winter? Do they have winter clothes to keep the cold?

Zhao Zheng always asked the adults around him: When will the Pinggong and the others move here too?

This cold winter comes quickly and leaves very quickly.

In January, Di brought bad news, Oh, Di also made friends in Xianyang. Unlike Zhao, he made friends here with ministers and powerful officials. Qin and Zhao were different. The nobles here did not despise the barbarians as Zhao. There were even many barbarians among the officials of Qin. Di said that there was a Hu man named Qiang who became a fourteenth-level right-level update in Qin.

The bad news brought by Di was: Pingyuan Jun passed away.

It is said that he bid farewell to King Wei and wanted to return to Zhao State. On the way, he slept for a while and never woke up again. When his disciples took him back to Handan, he was already smelly. Pingyuan Jun's son Zhao Wu vomited blood and fainted because he could not bear the blow of his father's death. Three days later, he also passed away with Pingyuan Jun... This was a huge disaster for the people of Zhao.

Pingyuan Jun was in Zhao State. Before Zhao Kuo was famous all over the world, it was the belief of the people of Zhao people and was respected by all Zhao people. The warriors in the world came to serve him one after another and were proud to be his disciples. Pingyuan Jun was able to treat these disciples well. He could disperse all his family property to help Zhao State, he could help all those who asked him for help, and he could offend the powerful Qin State to protect his friends...

Even in Wei, he was respected because he rewarded the meritorious officials and rectified the administration of the government, so that the people of Wei had a good life for a while. Although this was the case, the Wei people still respected him very much. The news of Pingyuan Jun's death brought great sensation in all countries. The people of Zhao and Wei were very sad, and even some nobles of Qin expressed their condolences for him.

This is a respectable person.

King Zhao buried Pingyuan Jun and his son, and he cried to tears.

This was even more true for the Zhao people. Ma Fujun left Zhao State and Pingyuan State left this world. The double blow made the atmosphere of Zhao State even more depressed. Some ministers suggested that the King of Qin: At this moment, they would definitely win something. However, the King of Qin still rejected the minister's request and sent someone to mourn Pingyuan State.

This is always the case in the winter of the Warring States Period, and there are always some people who can't get through it.

When Zhao Kuo heard this news, Pingyuan Jun's figure appeared in his mind, and he was also a little sad. He did not have much friendship with Pingyuan Jun, but he probably wouldn't be able to pay back the food he owed Pingyuan Jun again.

At this moment, the King of Qin came to Zhao Kuo's mansion again.

The King of Qin was dressed very formally and brought many people. After seeing Zhao Kuo, the King of Qin leaned over and bowed, and then said seriously: "I want to worship you as Prime Minister of Qin, please don't refuse." Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, looked at the people around him, and then sighed and said: "I don't have the talent of Prime Minister, and I don't know how to govern the country... Today's Prime Minister Cai Ze is not at fault..."

The King of Qin said again: "Cai Ze has resigned from his position as the prime minister. I have repeatedly tried to keep him, but he has not obeyed... Just as Xunzi said, there is no kind and righteous gentleman around me who can teach me to implement benevolent government. Please put the world first and do not reject me. I am willing to follow any of your suggestions to achieve the goal of a king of the world, end the war for the world, protect the people of the world, and treat them as my people."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not unwilling to take responsibility. I don't have the ability to take responsibility. I don't know how to govern the country. I don't even know how many months the Qin arable land is sown and how many months the harvest is... You should choose other wise men to take responsibility."

"This...", the King of Qin hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then please be by my side so that I can ask you for advice on the governance of the country at any time." Zhao Kuo thought for a while, but still did not agree to him. The King of Qin said, "If you refuse, Qin will have to continue the original path. As Uncle Fan said, not only occupy the land of other countries, but also kill the people on the land and eliminate the strength of the enemy."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not, it's just that I can't come up with a better way. I need your help. Without you, Qin State can only kill more people in order to achieve the goal of a king of the world. This is not because of cruelty, it is because of Qin State's needs. Qin people need heads, land, and even weaken the enemy... Your disciple Han Feizi said: The disadvantage of Qin State is that it has no determination to destroy others, and always negotiate peace after defeating the enemy."

"If you don't come to take responsibility, I can only act with the determination to destroy others."

"My first purpose will be Zhao State. Can the decadent Zhao State stop the Qin people? As long as Qin State drags the young and strong Zhao State for another three years, the people of Zhao State will starve to death and the cultivated land will be deserted, just like before."

Zhao Kuo was speechless, his face was full of entanglement. He frowned and said, "It is impossible for Qin to truly complete the world by slaughtering alone...How can you..."

"You're right, so you need to teach me how to do it."

Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay...you can ask me for advice at any time." The King of Qin then laughed. Although Zhao Kuo was not willing to serve as the prime minister, he agreed to offer advice for himself. This is the victory of the King of Qin. He left Zhao Kuo and asked him to serve him... The King of Qin hurriedly presented his gift, and at the same time, he gave Zhao Kuo the titles.

Although they are all low-level titles, this is already a great gift.

The King of Qin couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that you wanted to implement a new official system in Zhao State. What do you think of the official system of Qin State?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before saying, "The system of officials in Qin at the grassroots level is very perfect, but the system in the palace is still somewhat insufficient..." The King of Qin smiled and grabbed Zhao Kuo's hand and said seriously: "I want you to develop a set of official positions for Qin. I will support you with all my strength, and no one will stop you... If you have any confusion in any aspect, you can ask me to... If you want anyone to help, you can mobilize..."

Zhao Kuo fell silent and nodded.

The King of Qin just smiled. In fact, in his heart, he felt that the person who was most suitable to serve as the prime minister was Han Fei. Because Zhao Kuo was too benevolent and righteous, such a benevolent and righteous person would be unfavorable to the conquests of various countries in the future. Think about it, if the King of Qin planned to attack Zhao State in the future and let Zhao Kuo take charge of this matter... that would be too unreasonable. Therefore, the King of Qin felt that the only Han Fei, who proposed in front of him, was the most suitable to serve as the prime minister.

When the King of Qin looked at Han Fei, Han Fei took the initiative to speak, "King, I want to learn the law in the school room."
