Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Therefore, while we are making a small amount of purchases, we must also pay attention to the situation of those government stores. Once the government stores show signs that the goods are about to dry up, then we can raise the price again this time.

What we need now is patience and wisdom. Of course, the most important thing is unity. The old man hopes that you can calm down and don't get confused. Otherwise, how can we continue to work hard for the goal of eliminating the big man? ;

After listening to what the tiger said, all the members of the Zoning Congress present also ended their disputes, and this meeting came to an end for the time being.

Everyone left, but only the fox remained, and there were only two people left in the secret room, the tiger and the fox.

The fox took a deep breath, and said lightly: "It seems that this time our plan has completely failed. ;

The tiger's body trembled slightly, and then said: "Indeed."The old man just got the news from the inside of the Shaofu that the goods prepared by the government this time actually came from a factory outside the imperial capital, and the output of that factory was incomparably sufficient for some reason.Let alone selling for a few days, even if selling continuously for a month, there is no problem. ;

After hearing this answer, the fox's expression froze for a moment, and he was speechless for a while, apparently shocked by the news.

After a long while, the fox said: "This news sounds too exaggerated, how can there be a factory that produces linen that can support the entire imperial capital?" ;

The tiger shook his head and said: "Whether this news is exaggerated or not, the facts are in front of us now, isn't it?" ;

The fox was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since our plan has failed, we will definitely be noticed by the government. We must take some measures, what do you think?" ;

The tiger nodded slightly and said: "We really should start the preparatory plan to survive with broken arms. We must sacrifice some people to make the government feel that we have been wiped out." ;

The fox said: "Isn't that leopard very dissatisfied with us?"This time, let him and his fellow Wei people be the scapegoats together. ;

The tiger pondered for a while, then chuckled and said: "It's a good thing that you and my people didn't use any funds this time, and they mainly used their money." ;

The fox also laughed and said: "Of course, after all, Zhao Kuo is notoriously cunning. If we can't pay more attention, how can we deal with him?"Okay, don't talk anymore, you and I should act quickly, remember, all people related to this matter must be dealt with, and we must not expose it. ;

The tiger laughed and said: "You and I have never intervened in this matter, so how could it be exposed?"It is true that Your Majesty has a better move this time, but we will always find opportunities. ;

The words of the two Zionist leaders were full of resentment.

Obviously, if they can escape this disaster, they will still make a comeback one day sooner or later.

Chapter 1175 The dust of the linen incident ([-]th)

There is no doubt that in this commercial war without gunpowder, the government of the Han Dynasty led by Zhao Kuo won a very hearty victory.

On this night, Zhao Qian returned to the palace with brisk steps and reported the incident to Zhao Kuo.

;Report to my father, now the price of linen in our imperial capital has returned to 20 yuan, it can be said that this time the turmoil is completely over. ;

Zhao Qian was really very happy, because at the beginning, he thought that there was really no way to deal with this matter, but he never expected that after his father made a move, he would just do it like this. sub resolved.

Looking at the elated Zhao Qian in front of him, Zhao Kuo also showed some smiles at the corner of his mouth.

This is teenagers, the happiness of teenagers is always so simple, solving a difficult problem and destroying some enemies is enough.

However, as Zhao Qian's father, and as the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom today, Zhao Kuo has to consider more, more far-reaching, and more deeply touched the essence of the problem.

Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Qian: "Have you ever thought about what we should do next?" ;

Zhao Qian also had his own plan for this, and immediately replied: "I want to tell my father, we should continue to investigate this matter and see who is behind the scenes. ;

Zhao Kuo nodded, and continued to say to Zhao Qian: "If we have determined who it is, how should we deal with them next?" ;

Zhao Qian said without hesitation: "Of course they are dealt with according to the law, and these people must not be allowed to escape the sanctions of the laws of our Great Han Kingdom." ;

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo nodded in satisfaction.

This is indeed the answer Zhao Kuo wanted to hear, and he will be sanctioned according to law.

If Zhao Qian directly said that these guys would be beheaded and executed, Zhao Kuo would be disappointed instead.

As the ruler of a country, one thing is very important, that is, to use the supreme power in your hands carefully, and not let this emperor's power override the legal system.

To put it bluntly, the law itself is the rules formulated by the emperor to govern his subjects. If the emperor himself does not abide by these rules, how can he ask others to abide by these rules?

So no matter what you do, of course you must do it within the scope of the law. If someone makes a mistake, the emperor should also punish and deal with these people within the scope of the law. This is a wise emperor. Something that really needs to be done.

Zhao Qian's current performance undoubtedly just made Zhao Kuo feel that he was moving on the right path.

On the second day, the information from Nightingale was sent to the government, and soon the government dispatched a large number of people and arrested more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the imperial capital.

These senior officials have their own status and status, but without exception, they all belong to the courtiers who surrendered to the Han Dynasty among the vassal states that perished before.

On the surface, these people surrendered to the Great Han Kingdom and served the Great Han Kingdom, but in fact they have always remained stubborn and never forget to use various opportunities to restore their country.

The linen price increase incident this time is that these guys took advantage of the opportunity to obtain such a time window. When a large number of official caravans went to the Seleucid Empire to do business and stock up, the goods in the imperial capital were tense and overwhelmed. launched a commercial war.

Due to the personal will from the emperor Zhao Kuo, the arrest and trial of these people were quite quick.

In just 10 days, all the cases have been clarified, and they have been announced in various corners of the imperial capital through announcements.

It was also from this time that the name of the Restoration Congress officially surfaced.

The citizens of the Han Kingdom from the imperial capital realized that the price increase of linen in the past so many years was actually secretly manipulated by the Fuhui.

The people of the people were naturally very angry about this matter, and they also cursed one after another.

"These damned nobles of the Zionist Congress, if they want to restore their country, they should rebel, why do they want to touch the things of us little people, so that we can't even wear clothes." ;

;You're right, as ordinary people, we actually just want to live a good and stable life and raise our children, but these guys, who wear silk on their bodies, don't think about it. What a mean thing to clothe us. ;

"If you want me to say, this matter is already obvious, only His Majesty the Emperor and the government are really good for us.These so-called Restoration Councils want to restore this country, and the people of that country, to put it bluntly, are just trying to satisfy their own power, and they don't have people like us in their hearts. ;

;You are so right. If you want me to tell you, it is better for us, the great Han country. His majesty the emperor is really wise and powerful. He has mobilized so much linen in such a short period of time. Completely defeated the conspiracy of these people from the Zionist Congress, and made them lose money and make a mess. ;

"That's right, from now on, we just have to follow His Majesty's footsteps with peace of mind and we'll be done. Don't listen to other people's demagogy, it's all deceitful." ;

After this incident, Zhao Kuo's prestige in the Imperial Capital City has undoubtedly been raised again in the Han Dynasty. This is actually very easy to understand. After all, you have done practical things for this country and the people. Then the common people will take you for granted.

Although Zhao Qian said that he was not the most direct object of feelings of the common people, when he saw the scene described in the memorial, Zhao Qian was naturally quite happy in his heart.

"My father has always said that our royal family should stand with the people at the bottom. This is the best way to maintain the rule of the royal family."In fact, I didn't quite understand this sentence before, but now I have a real understanding through personal experience of this matter.I have to say that my father's words are too correct, every word can be said to be a pearl, and it is completely the existence of truth. ;

Zhao Qian's emotion fell into Zhao Zheng's ears.Zhao Zheng also nodded in agreement, but the expression on his whole face was still quite serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng and said curiously: "Brother Zheng, aren't you happy?"Why do you feel like you are still preoccupied? ;

Zhao Zheng smiled, and said to Zhao Qian: "The crown prince misunderstood, of course I am also very happy to be able to destroy this Fuhui group, but I just read the dossier about these Fuhui groups, and I always feel Something is not quite right behind. ;

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "What's wrong?"You tell me, and I can go and give feedback to my father when the time comes. ;

For this adoptive brother who grew up with him since he was a child, Zhao Qian still trusts him quite a lot, and he also knows very well how amazing Zhao Zheng's intelligence is.

Zhao Zheng said: "That's right, I just went through all the files."One thing I discovered is that these files all mentioned that there was a leader code-named Tiger in the Restoration Council, and another military division whose code-name was Fox, but among all the nobles we captured, there was not a single person Admit that you are a tiger or a fox. ;

After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Qian's eyes also began to narrow.

After a while, Zhao Qian said: "Do you think someone deliberately concealed his identity as a tiger or a fox? After all, his two identities are both at the leader level. If his identity is recognized , is basically certain death. ;

Zhao Zheng said: "If only people from the prison came to interrogate, maybe someone would hide it, but this time, the Ministry of Intelligence personally sent people to interrogate."I have seen the means of the Ministry of Intelligence before, and I think those nobles are so pampered, it is impossible for them to be able to resist to the end under the torture of the Ministry of Intelligence, refusing to confess or concealing something. ;

Zhao Zheng's words finally caught Zhao Qian's attention, so Zhao Qian stood up and said to Zhao Zheng: "Since you said so, let's go see Father Emperor now." ;

This is another advantage of Zhao Qian, or the advantage that many wise lords should have, that is, when his subordinates put forward a very valuable opinion, Zhao Qian will go to it very decisively. Take this advice.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng met Zhao Kuo.

At this time, Zhao Kuo had just finished processing the memorials of the day, and he was in a good mood.

In fact, as His Majesty the emperor, one day's work is completely endless. After all, there are more than 4000 million people in the world and a territory of more than 600 million square kilometers. There are countless things that require Zhao Kuo to make decisions.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo is also very wise to determine a system, that is, every emperor of the Han Kingdom must strictly implement the nine-to-five system in the future. Additional overtime work will be performed beyond this time point.

There is no way to do this, otherwise, if you say that you are too diligent, you will really be exhausted. In history, there should not be too many emperors who were too diligent.

The time when Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng arrived happened to be 5:30 in the afternoon, so did it mean that Zhao Kuo had just finished work and was preparing for dinner.

So Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng: "Don't rush to talk about anything you have, let's talk about it while eating." ;

When Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng heard Zhao Kuo's words, they immediately smiled and agreed.

For them, being able to eat with Zhao Kuo, the father, is actually a rare experience.

Today's dishes are still very good. For Zhao Kuo, he is actually a person who pays great attention to food, so he is more willing to spend money on food.

And because Zhao Kuo himself is a billionaire and owns countless private properties, Zhao Kuo pays for the food and enjoyment completely by himself, without any public support.

This meal was naturally very enjoyable. While eating, Zhao Kuo also listened to Zhao Qian's conjectures about Zhao Zheng.

After Zhao Kuo heard Zhao Zheng's conjectures, he immediately laughed and said to Zhao Zheng: "Actually, your conjecture is exactly the same as that of Nightingale's conjecture. They are tigers and foxes. These two people are now There should still be no trace of them. ;

Although the current Nightingale has been reorganized into the Ministry of Intelligence, for Zhao Kuo, he is of course more accustomed to using the old name.

After Zhao Kuo heard Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Zheng was naturally quite excited. He didn't expect that this matter was really like this. After all, this was just a conjecture, and there was still a lack of evidence before.

Zhao Kuo smiled at Zhao Zheng and said: "Since you are so interested in this matter, so be it, I will give you a will tomorrow, and you will go to the intelligence department to participate in the next matter for this matter." being detected. ;

After Zhao Zheng heard these words, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately agreed.

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng, who was full of joy, with a smile on his face.

For Zhao Qian, to see this adoptive brother so happy, of course being a brother is also very happy.

This time the linen case came to an end, and it was precisely because this time the case came from the textile factory that was driven by the steam engine that it naturally came into people's sight.

In the following time, through the efforts of Fuzhen and many craftsmen under his command, textile machines capable of spinning silk and other cloths came out one after another, and the domestic cloth production of Dahan began to explode at an astonishing speed.

Therefore, in later generations, many people regard this year as the year when the industrial revolution led by the Han Dynasty broke out.

Just as the textile revolution was developing vigorously, autumn also came.

On this day, Zhao Kuo sat in the palace, his eyes fell on a memorial, and then he locked it for a long time, and slowly showed a happy smile.

The content of this memorial can be summed up simply in one sentence.

;Report to Your Majesty, the navy of the Han Dynasty has taken shape and is ready to set off to fight overseas. ;

Zhao Kuo showed a smile and opened his mouth to make a decree.

; Pass the order down, and hold a combat meeting for the next year in the palace tomorrow. ;

Chapter 1176 The Debut of the Han Dynasty Navy (Eighth)

Under Zhao Kuo's order, a combat meeting was naturally held in the palace of the Han Kingdom on the second day.

Zhao Kuo sat on the throne, with a calm expression, and said to the many important ministers of the Han Kingdom in front of him: "My dear friends, now another year has passed, and we should also make a good plan. It will be a matter of which direction our Great Han Kingdom will go to forge ahead next year. ;

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, many courtiers of the Han Dynasty who were present showed some surprised expressions.

You must know that usually this is something that is discussed in winter. Like Zhao Kuo, it is indeed relatively rare for him to advance the discussion directly to autumn.

Including the director did not answer the questions of these courtiers, or that is not necessary.

Because after the meeting is held, these courtiers will naturally understand, why did Zhao Kuo hold this meeting so quickly?

Zhao Kuo glanced at Xiang Yan, the chief of staff of the staff department in front of him, and said: "Xiang Yan, let me introduce the strategy I plan to carry out next." ;

After Zhao Kuo won the throne of emperor, the military deliberation mechanism similar to that of Zhao State also changed.

Like the previous Zhao Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers usually go to discuss together, which country to attack next, and fierce disputes often break out because of this, but in the case of the Great Han Kingdom, reforms were made based on this, usually directly by the staff The Ministry will draw up the strategy, and then let the monarchs and ministers of the Han Kingdom discuss it.

The advantage of doing this like the Han Dynasty is that the entire strategy is basically formulated by military generals who understand the military. Although the civil servants also have the right to know and discuss, they cannot affect the formulation of the strategy and can only make decisions on the strategy. choose.

In this way, the civilian officials are laymen after all, and the possibility of their blind command interfering with the military strategy is greatly reduced.

After several years of experiments, this method has basically become the most effective method in the Han Dynasty, and has been accepted by all the courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's order, Xiang Yan stood up and walked to the hanging map.

Since Sima Shang, the head of the staff department, is still in the south, attacking many tribes in South Vietnam, Xiang Yan, the chief of staff, has once again become the candidate to introduce the strategy.

In fact, this is not the first time Xiang Yan has done it, but this time Xiang Yan still has inexplicable tension in her heart, because according to this strategy, a new army system will be born in the Han Kingdom .

Xiang Yan cleared her throat, discarded all the messy thoughts in her mind, and then said: "According to the discussions of many generals and staff officers in the staff department, it was agreed that this time we should take the entire Korean peninsula." down. ;

During the speech, the baton in Xiang Yan's hand also moved from the direction of the imperial capital to the northeast, and landed on the Korean peninsula.

After hearing Xiang Yan's words, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty present had different expressions on their faces, but none of them spoke.

For them, North Korea is actually a relatively unfamiliar place, so they are not willing to express any opinions before they have heard the whole strategy.

Of course Xiang Yan also understood this situation, so he continued after a short pause.

;The current situation on the Korean Peninsula is actually relatively simple. The main areas in the north are occupied by the Jizi Korean regime, while the south should be various primitive and backward tribal countries.This time, we plan to dispatch about 5 troops, and in conjunction with the naval fleet that has just completed preparations in the Great Han Kingdom and has formed combat effectiveness, we will march together by two routes, and strive to completely eliminate the war within one to two years. Occupy the entire Korean Peninsula and bring this land under the rule of our Han Dynasty. ;

After listening to Xiang Yan's introduction, the important ministers of the Han Dynasty who were present were thoughtful.

The prime minister, Xu Li, was the first to speak: "I want to ask, if we can occupy the Korean peninsula, will it be of any benefit to our Han country?" ;

After years of Zhao Kuo's influence or training, these courtiers under Zhao Kuo's command are also accustomed to looking at problems from the perspective of war economics.

To put it simply, if this war is over, there will be no great benefits for the Han Dynasty, then whether this war will be fought or not will have to be a big question mark.
