Chapter 198: Zhao Dan's New Deal and Qi Wangjian's Anger

In fact, this is not just this little boy who has the idea of ​​joining the army.

This grand reward conference of Zhao State spread throughout China in just half a month, and many measures announced by Zhao Dan were also reported.

First, the State of Zhao will establish two new armies in the north and south. The Northern Army will use Le Cheng as the General of the Central Army, with the Imperial Army and the Hu Ben Army. Each army has two school lieutenants under its jurisdiction, responsible for protecting the security of Handan. The Southern Army will have four school lieutenants, responsible for guarding the South Great Wall of Zhao. Both new armies are directly commanded by the king.

Not only that, the treatment of the North and South armies is also very amazing. After joining the North and South armies, you can get corresponding titles and enjoy benefits such as land, homestead land, slaves, and twenty years of tax exemption.

Moreover, the requirements are not high. As long as you are familiar with battlefield fighting or cavalrying techniques, you can participate in the selection. If you pass the selection, you can become a soldier of the North and South Army.

However, there are differences in the qualifications for selection. All people from Zhao State can register for the selection of the North and South armies, while those who are not from Zhao State can only participate in the selection of the South Army.

The treatment of the Southern Army is also lower than that of the Northern Army. The title is only given to the third level, which is not as good as the fourth level title of the Northern Army. The treatment and welfare are relatively reduced.

Secondly, Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao State, also issued a recruitment order at the meeting, announcing that all talents from all countries can come to Handan to look for opportunities. As long as those who are indeed talented, Zhao Dan will be rewarded with official positions and can be the best lord!

I have to say that this is indeed a very big deal.

Although the kings of various countries have been helping to recruit talents since the Warring States Period, they have become accustomed to this kind of recruitment of talents from all countries.

However, with the great reputation brought by the victory of the Battle of Changping in Zhao State, Zhao Dan's public voice still attracted the attention of the world. Many people who were unsuccessful in other countries began to set out from all directions and head towards Handan.

The third news is about the administrative division of Zhao State. Zhao Dan redefines the administrative division of Zhao State, and divides the territory of Zhao State into nine counties including Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dai County, Yanmen County, Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Zhongshan County, Hejian County, as well as the Jingji area of ​​Handan, and the Jingji area of ​​Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and other three auxiliary assistants assist the king in governing the Jingji area.

With this administrative division adjustment, there were also intensive personnel adjustments. Many new county magistrates took office, and many ministers of Zhao were punished and dismissed and even punished for their illegal acts.

During this period, a secret organization of Zhao State named Supervisor also surfaced. It was precisely because this Supervisor found out many black materials covered by the ministers of Zhao State that this was a decisive and conclusive purge.

If the first three news is just Zhao’s domestic reform, then the fourth news can be said to have truly attracted the attention of the world.

Zhao Dan officially announced that he would open a Chinese Academy of Sciences in Handan City after the beginning of spring, and was responsible for the preparation and future operation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the famous Confucian literary giant Xunqiu as the high priest of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In addition, the Huaxia Academy welcomes all the schools of thought to settle in. If the schools of thought to settle in are recognized by Zhao Dan, they can also be awarded the title of Xia Qing of Zhao and enjoy corresponding generous treatment.

Anyone with a little brain can think that Zhao State intends to use this Chinese Academy of Sciences to challenge the status of the Chinese academic holy place in the Jixia Academy of Qi State!

The news that the Huaxia Academy was about to be established caused an uproar.

In the Linzi Palace City, the capital of Qi, King Jian of Qi summoned Hou Sheng as soon as he heard the news and was furious at Hou Sheng.

"Houqing, look at this Zhao man, who is so humiliating to me! If it weren't for your stupidity, how could I be humiliated by Zhao Dan!"

King Jian of Qi scolded Housheng so much that he couldn't raise his head. After half an hour, King Jian of Qi, who had finally calmed down, stared at Housheng and asked, "Houqing, what should you do about this matter now!"

Obviously, King Jian of Qi needed Hou Sheng to give an explanation.

Why Housheng? The reason is very simple. Since the last time Su Dai succeeded in his mission to Qi, Housheng has transformed from a pro-Qin faction to a pro-Zhao faction, and usually speaks good things to Zhao in front of King Jian of Qi.

It was precisely because of the Housheng activities that although King Jian of Qi did not send troops to help Zhao, he generously refused to send more food and grass to Zhao's fortune in winter at the cost of frostbite and freezing death by a large number of Qi's husbands, and strongly supported Zhao's logistics needs in the Battle of Changping.

As a result, the Battle of Changping had just ended, and Zhao Wangdan turned against him. He wanted to set up a Chinese Academy of Sciences to attack the Jixia Academy of Qi. Who else could you find if you didn’t look for Hou Sheng, the leader of the Zhao style?

On the other side, Hou Sheng was also complaining in his heart at this moment.

In fact, this uncle of Qi State is just collecting money and doing things. In Housheng's opinion, Qi State's current national policy is an isolation policy. It is estimated that it will be rare to have a conflict with Zhao State within ten or eight years. However, he never expected that the Battle of Changping had just finished the battle of Zhao State...

So Housheng felt that he was also a victim, and even if he was a victim, he was even scolded for no reason. Isn’t this a little unfair?

Hou Sheng thought about it and gritted his teeth and said to King Jian of Qi: "King, since Zhao State is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. From today on, we will stop transporting grain to Zhao State!"

Yes, since the Qi and Zhao agreed to have a period of half a year at that time, so to date, there is still about a month left for food and grass and grass that has not yet been transported from Qi.

King Jian of Qi nodded viciously when he heard this, and said, "Yes, from today on, we will stop transporting food!"

But it is obvious that just one stopping the transport of grain was not enough to satisfy King Jian of Qi, so King Jian of Qi continued: "Houqing has any plan?"

Although King Jian of Qi knew very well that Housheng was not very reliable, the problem was that King Jian of Qi was even more unreliable, so he could only choose to listen to Housheng's opinions on this matter...

As for other ministers of Qi... To be honest, King Jian of Qi did not take the opinions of other ministers of Qi seriously. Who made these ministers only know how to persuade King Jian of Qi to be diligent in political affairs and reduce pleasure all day long?

Hou Sheng thought for a while, then his eyes turned to King Qi to come up with an idea.

"Master, why not--Even Qin to resist Zhao?"

King Jian of Qi was shocked when he heard this. After a while, he said, "Why did you say this? Is it necessary for me to go to war with Zhao State?"

Although King Jian of Qi was furious by Zhao Dan's Chinese Academy of Sciences, if he wanted to start a large army to fight, King Jian of Qi was still a little worried.

It is not just because Zhao's current momentum is the strongest in the world, but more importantly, King Jian of Qi himself does not want to fight.

Speaking of which, this is also the tragedy of Qi. A monarch who reigned for forty-three years was actually an absolute pacifist...

And to be honest, Jixia Academy is a thing that has long since the catastrophe of the five countries to attack Qi.

What's more, at the peak of Jixia Academy, the monarchs of Qi State never took the advice put forward by the consultants of Jixia Academy seriously.

For such a thing that seemed to be shameless and did not hurt Qi State at all, he went against the newly rising overlord Zhao State? King Jian of Qi was really hesitant.

When Hou Sheng saw the appearance of King Qi, he knew that his nephew of the king had been indecisive again.

So Hou Sheng coughed and said seriously to King Jian of Qi: "King, a few Handan dancers have just arrived in my house. Why not move the King to the mansion of my ministers to enjoy the dance posture of Handan Ji together?"

King Jian of Qi thought about it and gave an answer without hesitation.

"good!"
