Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

"Things like the fence are actually not necessary, we just need to step up patrols and arrest those who dare to walk around the streets at night for interrogation.

If it is said that there are some square cities that lack a sense of security and are unwilling to tear down the walls, that is not impossible.

There are also many streets inside Fangshi, so it is okay to let them develop pavement in the inner streets. "

As the saying goes, food should be eaten bite by bite, and things should be done step by step. Of course, Zhao Kuo would not feel that the system that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years would change drastically because of his few words. Zhao Kuo is not the real emperor yet.

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Wang, Zhou Shaofen and others fell into short-term thinking.

The difference is that Zhao Wang was thinking about the feasibility of Zhao Kuo's proposal, while Zhou Shaofen was thinking about how to continue to refute Zhao Kuo.

But Zhao Kuo didn't continue to give Zhou Shaofen this opportunity, because he immediately said another sentence.

"If your Majesty is really worried, then you might as well take out a Fangshi alone and try it out.

If it is indeed possible, then it can continue to be promoted in Handan City. If not, there is no objection to ending the minister directly. "

Zhao Kuo's statement caught Zhao Wang's ears, and his eyes lit up immediately.

If only one square market is used as a test product, then this matter can be controlled within a very small range, and even if something really happens, it will not cause too bad an impact.

So after thinking for a few seconds, Zhao Wang immediately said: "Since Wu Xinjun said so, I can give you a chance, but the time for this attempt should not be too long, just a month, how about it?" ?”

In King Zhao's opinion, one month is enough to tell whether this new economic model can bear fruit in Handan City.

Zhou Shaofen on the other side couldn't help laughing after hearing this sentence, and thought to himself: "Like this new model and reform, let alone something completely invisible, even if it is really step-by-step However, the methodical reforms cannot be effective without a year or a half.

What is the difference between the time given by the king for this month and the time given for three days? "

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaofen's gaze towards Zhao Kuo has become extraordinarily gloating.

In Zhou Shaofen's view, although Zhao Kuo's reform has just begun, it is actually completely over.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhou Shaofen to turn over this opportunity, so he continued to speak, and said mockingly to Zhao Kuo: "Mr. Wu Xin, you should do well what you should do at work, and don't think about these things all day long. of.

For thousands of years, our ancestors have left us with a lot of wisdom. What we have to do is to carry forward the wisdom handed down by these ancestors, instead of thinking about some illusory things all day long. "

Zhao Kuo chuckled and ignored Zhou Shaofen.

On this matter, Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen have no common language.

As a modern traveler, Zhao Kuo knows very clearly what the future development trajectory of the city will be like.

The current Fangshi is equivalent to a very closed community, but under normal circumstances, there should be a commercial store between the communities, and even the periphery of the community may be a commercial store.

The problem with Handan City today is that it only has residential areas, but all the commercial stores are concentrated in two places in the city, which is very inconvenient.

What Zhao Kuo has to do is to break the walls of these communities and release more commercial shops. Only in this way can the commercial activities in Handan City become more active, and not only can it create more wealth for Zhao Guo , At the same time, it can also keep those people like Wu Fei alive.

But for Zhou Shaofen, as an ancient person, he obviously has no way to understand Zhao Kuo's idea at all, and even thinks that Zhao Kuo's idea is deviant and whimsical.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Shaofen would feel that Zhao Kuo's 90% failure would not make people feel strange at all.

Zhou Shaofen said very calmly: "Wu Xinjun, we have to make a charter now. Otherwise, you can just spend money on a few shops and say you have succeeded. Isn't that good?"

For Zhou Shaofen, since he has firmly believed that Zhao Kuo's action this time will not succeed, he must find a way to directly nail Zhao Kuo to this pillar of shame, so that Zhao Kuo can't find any sophistry at all room for.

After Zhao Wang heard Zhou Shaofen's words, he also felt that it was quite reasonable, so he said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, tell me what kind of standard you want to follow?"

Zhao Kuo said very calmly: "Last year in our Handan City, the average annual income of a family was about 5000 yuan, so now we set the standard that they can get 2500 yuan in a month. how?"

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, both Zhao Wang and Zhou Shaofen were stunned at the same time.

From Zhao Kuo's words, it can be easily understood that Zhao Kuo believes that after the reform of the shops this time, the owners of these shops can earn the money they could only earn in the previous 6 months, that is, half a year.

Zhao Wang was inconceivable, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, do you really think that your shop reform this time can have such a great power?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and nodded very calmly.

In fact, if it is promoted directly in a city in Handan, then this reform may not be able to have such an effect.

But this time, due to Zhou Shaofen's opposition, for the time being, the scope of the reform can only be limited to one city.

The result of this is that this city can monopolize all the dividends of the entire initial reform period, so it is absolutely normal for the income to double.

Zhao Kuo directly said that it has increased by 6 times. This is actually a relatively conservative view. Among the reformed special zones in later generations, those who can enjoy the reform bonus can increase their income by 10 times or even a hundred times.

Zhao Kuo has already said so definitely, so Zhao Wang and Zhou Shaofen naturally no longer have any opinions.

Zhou Shaofen said: "Wu Xinjun, what do you want to bet?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said lightly: "Let's bet on the house in Handan City. I heard that Zhou Qing still has two sets of idle houses in Handan City. If he loses, he will return to his lord.

Similarly, if this queen loses, then this queen will give Zhou Qing the corresponding two sets of houses, how about that? "

Whether the house is a house or not, Zhao Kuo doesn't really care much about it.

What Zhao Kuo cared about the most was to slap Zhou Shaofen in the face so hard that everyone would know that going against Zhao Kuo would not end well!After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhou Shaofen said almost without thinking: "No problem, it's settled!"

Zhao Wang nodded and said: "Very good, since Mr. Wu Xin is so confident, I am looking forward to today, a month later, when you can report good news to me."

From Zhao Wang's point of view, he has always been a little doubtful in his heart. After all, Zhao Kuo was born as a general. Does he have any experience in governing a country? Can he control Zhao Guo smoothly? This party is the strongest It is debatable whether the country continues to move forward.

But today's incident gave King Zhao a chance to take the opportunity to observe whether Zhao Kuo is really talented, so of course King Zhao would not let this opportunity go, so he let Zhao Kuo let go. .

Now that King Zhao has already made a decision, the court discussion this time will naturally come to an end.

Zhao Kuo walked out of the hall surrounded by several other confidants and allies.

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said to the people around him: "Everyone should follow the previous arrangement. This time, it's just a trivial matter, but if it can be done well, it will be a great contribution to our era. The meaning is completely different, so I still hope that everyone will do it seriously, so that we can continue to expand our power."

For this action, Zhao Kuo is actually quite sure, but he still wants to tell these subordinates and allies to make things more perfect.

The current method is actually the kind of pilot reform area in later generations. As long as the economy of this pilot area is booming and this good example is strengthened, other places will see that it is indeed effective, and the speed of their follow-up will also be quickly.

The people want a good life, and the officials want political achievements. Doesn't this form a very powerful joint force?

But the premise is that the formation of this joint force requires the success of the pilot reforms.

Zhao Kuo is in a very good mood here, and on the other side there are also other people in a very good mood.

Brother Zhou Shaofen followed behind Zhao Kuo and the others, Zhou Shaoliang couldn't help but gloated and said, "I thought he could have some good idea, but unexpectedly it was such a whimsical way.

Once this method is spread, there will be a lot of opposition, not to mention that it will not have any effect. At that time, he will be working for nothing. It will be seen how he can deal with the anger of the king. . "

The two brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang obviously had the same idea. After hearing what Zhou Shaoliang said, Zhou Shaofen also said with a smile: "Actually, this is also very normal. After all, Wu Xinjun served as the Xiangbang of our Zhao country. His previous contributions They are all concentrated on the military aspect, but the internal affairs are lackluster.

So he must be very impatient, wanting to prove to the king and everyone that he has a way of governing Zhao's internal affairs. "

Zhou Shaoliang chuckled, and said with obvious sarcasm in his tone: "Who doesn't want to do things like making contributions, but the problem is that you have to be able to do it.

If it is said that you can make meritorious deeds if you come up with a whimsical plan casually, then I am afraid that the merits of all the ministers of all countries will not be able to match. "

After the Zhou brothers finished speaking, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

Zhou Shaofen thought for a while, and then said: "Wu Xinjun is more or less problematic, he can always come up with some weird strategies, so this time, we must send someone to keep an eye on him." Well, if he really felt at ease tearing down the wall to set up a shop, then of course there would be no problem.

But if he uses some tricks outside the plate, we must detect it in time, and then report this matter to the king. "

Zhou Shaofen has witnessed Zhao Kuo's various whimsical ideas in recent years, so he is quite vigilant about such things.

Zhou Shaoliang nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely arrange this matter properly. This time, it is absolutely impossible to let Zhao Kuo have any chance to come back."

Zhou Shaoliang is definitely the person who hates Zhao Kuo the most among the Zhou brothers. After all, Zhou Shaoliang's daughter was originally the queen, but she was abolished because of Zhao Kuo.

Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, Zhou Shaoliang will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Zhao Ke will not pay attention to these things. After all, I am very clear in my heart. Although the Zhou Brothers hope that they will fail, they will definitely not send anyone to make trouble.

Because once they send someone to make trouble and Zhao Kuo finds out, then even if Zhao Kuo really fails, there will be a way to get rid of the responsibility on Zhao Wang's side.

As the saying goes, it is not too late, Zhao Kuo sent someone to call Zhao Qian as soon as he returned to the mansion.

"Things have been settled, and then you can follow me to do what you wanted to do before."

As the saying goes, there is always an early signing of the beginning and the end when doing things. As the eldest son and future heir of Zhao Kuo, I have witnessed the first half of the whole process with Zhao Kuo in the previous private visit on Weibo, so now is the It's time for Zhao Qian to witness the second half of the process in person.

Zhao Qian, who couldn't wait for a long time, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rushed out of the room almost immediately.

"What about the carriage?

Get ready for the carriage! "

Chapter 972 Let Pingkang Fang be reborn

An hour later, Zhao Kuo brought Zhao Qian to Pingkangfang.

Yes, this dilapidated square city actually has a name, and its name is Pingkangfang.

Different from the last time, this time Zhao Kuo did not visit in private, but came here in a carriage with Zhao Qian and brought hundreds of entourages.

Such a big battle undoubtedly made everyone in Pingkangfang fearful and retreated in an instant, which inevitably disappointed Zhao Qian, who had expectations in his heart.

In Zhao Qian's view, he came here to save the people of this place, why do the people's eyes show guard and alienation?

Zhao Kuo saw all this in his eyes, and then calmly reminded Zhao Qian of a fact: "For them, our high-ranking rulers never take them seriously."

The reason why the common people obey the rule is not because they want to obey, but because they can only obey.

How can a person be expected to support the ruler from his heart when he is forced to accept it?

Zhao Qian's expression froze for a moment.

But after these things, the boy was no longer someone who was easily defeated. He quickly cheered up and said softly: "It's okay, they will believe us one day."

Zhao Kuo nodded with some relief: "Let's start today."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side of the road: "They are Chi Youjun!"

The three words Chi Youjun seemed to have some kind of magical power, and they changed the whole atmosphere in an instant.

On both sides of the road that was empty because of the arrival of Zhao Kuo and others, suddenly a large group of people came out.

Among them are men and women, old and young, but without exception, there is a certain kind of light in everyone's eyes.

"It's Chi Youjun, it's really Chi Youjun."

"The strongest army created by Wu Xinjun, an invincible army!"

"Captured the kings of Qi and Wei, and destroyed the kingdoms of Yan and Wei!"

"The pride of our country Zhao!"

Even children with snotty noses began to cheer: "Chi Youjun, mighty!"

Looking at this scene, Zhao Qian couldn't help being shocked. For the first time, he had an intuitive understanding of the prestige among the people of the army trained by his father.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene with a smile on his face. Zhao Kuo had actually seen more similar situations, and those worships were all directed at Zhao Kuo, not Chi Youjun, so Zhao Kuo was quite used to it.

After a while, Zhao Qian suppressed the shock in his heart, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Father, I never thought that our Chi You Army would have such prestige among the people!"

Zhao Kuo smiled lightly, and asked Zhao Qian a question: "Why do you think Chi Youjun has such prestige?"

This question stopped Zhao Qian.

After a while, Zhao Qian said, "Is it because of victory?"

Zhao Qian originally thought that the answer should not be so simple, but he never expected that the answer is really so simple.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Yes, of course it is because of victory.

Because Chi Youjun has never failed, so they are willing to believe and worship Chi Youjun. "

Compared with those ruling classes who are high above and never take into account the interests of the people at the bottom, troops like Chi Youjun who focus on killing the enemy and only gain glory for the country are obviously easier to win the admiration and worship of the people.

Zhao Qian excitedly said: "Do they really want to join Chi You's army, Father?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and nodded slowly.

Yeah, who wouldn't want to be part of a winning team?

Everyone knows that as long as he can become a member of Chi You's army, it means that military achievements will come unceasingly!But what Zhao Kuo didn't tell Zhao Qian was that although the Chi You Army had undergone many expansions, the chances of people from places like Pingkangfang wanting to join the Chi You Army were basically zero.

It's not that Zhao Kuo discriminated against the people in Pingkangfang, but because the people in Pingkangfang are too poor, they don't have enough food and clothing, and their physical fitness is relatively poor, so how can they pass the requirements? What about Chi Youjun's enlistment assessment, which is at least an elite individual soldier?

The phrase "poor and rich martial arts" is not a joke. Of course, the most important thing to practice martial arts is to have a good body. The premise of having a good body is to have a lot of time every day to exercise and practice martial arts. At the same time, there must be a lot of meat to supplement nutrition. This is not what the poor people in Pingkangfang can achieve.

The people here are trying their best to support themselves.

Soon, Zhao Kuo came to Wu Fei's house.

The original dilapidated tent has now disappeared, replaced by a brand new log cabin.

From Zhao Qian's point of view, this log cabin is at best the level of his usual home toilet, but for Pingkangfang, this log cabin is already a "luxury house".

Not only that, but now there is a fence around the wooden house, forming a small yard. Wu Fei, who is missing a leg, is lying on the wall outside the wooden house, his eyes are slightly closed, and he seems to be dozing off. There are also two very new crutches beside me.
