In Linzi, Qi State, the old man held the bamboo slips and asked seriously to several disciples around him: "In Qin State, there are doctors, no one, no hairpin, and the master, the five people, they hunted five deer together. If they wanted to divide the deer according to their rank, how many deer could they each get?"

Several disciples were thinking, but the young man sitting in the front said without hesitation: "I replied: Doctors can get one deer plus two deer, not one deer plus one deer, hairpin can get one deer, upper carp can get two deer, and the magistrate can get one deer, the master can get one deer, the man can get one deer, the old man is very satisfied, he nodded and said, "It's very good, awesome, but there is one thing you have to remember."

"Please tell me."

"Put your mind on your studies, not on women... As your teacher, I shouldn't have told you this! But you haven't had a chance to have a crown, and you already have three wives and concubines in your family... This is not possible." The old man said, his disciples never let him feel at ease, and there were not many normal people, including the newly accepted disciple, who was the same. He shook his head helplessly.

The young man smiled bitterly and bowed to the teacher to show that he knew.

"Teacher, why do you always take the Qin State as an example? No matter what questions you ask, you should take the Qin State as an example. I really can't understand this. Is it because you think the weights and measures specified by Qin State are the best?" The young man asked again, trying to shift the topic away. The old man heard it and pondered for a moment before saying, "Because you won't use the things from the other six countries when you grow up and enter the officialdom."

The young man instantly understood what the old man meant. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Then why should you bring me from Yangwu to Qi State? It will definitely not be so easy for me to enter Qin in the future."

The old man smiled, glared at him, and said no more.

Another disciple stood up and asked, "Teacher, the scholars of Qi said that Ma Fujun helped the tyrannical Qin State and killed his friends for his title. They all said that he was like Wu Qi, a talented but unvirtuous person. What do you think?" The old man looked at him and said angrily: "It's stupid. Wu Qi killed his wife to become a general so that he could establish a great cause. Ma Fujun killed his friends to save the people of the world. How can this be said to be the same?"

"I have never seen a moral gentleman with someone like Ma Fujun!"

"The tyrannical Qin State is now implementing a benevolent and righteous army. Wherever it arrives, the people welcome it. The officials took out their household registration information, and the soldiers surrendered. This is not because they are afraid, but because Qin can help them. Those who slander Ma Fujun are because they enjoy wealth and honor. Ma Fujun's practice will take away their current wealth and honor life, and they are afraid of this."

The old man looked at the northwest direction and shook his head and said, "I never thought that he could take this step... Because I can't do this myself, I admire him so much."

Gan Luo could chat and laugh freely in front of King Zhao and King Wei, but in front of Zhao Kuo, he was very well-behaved.

Zhao Kuo sat on the bed, and the doctor stood by to make medicine for him. Changping Junqi, who rushed over, stood by. During these days, Qi served Zhao Kuo like his son taking care of his father, which made Zhao Kuo very pleased, and of course he was a little moved. The teacher's status is still very high now, and there is no one writing articles like in later generations to tell the truth about respecting teachers and respecting the Tao.

If the relationship between a child and his father is blood inheritance, then the relationship between a disciple and a teacher is spiritual inheritance. Both are equally important. In this era of academic masters, even this spiritual inheritance is even more important. This means that someone will inherit your knowledge and your theory and carry forward it. Qi was the first to come to visit him, and Zhao Zheng did not come. However, this is a good thing. If Zhao Zheng left behind the state affairs to see him, maybe Zhao Kuo would teach him a lesson harshly.

Zhao Kuo looked at Gan Luo who was kneeling in front of him. Gan Luo lowered his head, looking very restrained.

Zhao Kuo smiled and then asked, "I know you, Kang Zeng told me that you are in Zhao State, King Zhao will hold a banquet for you, you are chatting and laughing with people like Jianxin. In Wei State, Lord Longyang personally served you with a cup of wine. You took King Han's life in a few words. Why are you so restricted in front of me?" Gan Luo looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him. This time, he was not disguised, he was really a little restrained.

This is his friend's father, and in a sense, he is also his elder, let alone... Wu Chengjun.

What are Jianxin Jun, Long Yang Jun and others, can you compare with this person?

Ganluo said seriously: "When you see your elders, you dare not be rude."

Zhao Kuo nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How is Wei Zeng? Where is Long Yang Jun? How is his appetite?" Gan Luo said truthfully, "The King of Wei is very healthy, and he also cares about you very much. He asked me about your situation many times... Long Yang Jun is not like this. He saw that he couldn't even eat half of the lamb leg, but he was afraid that his life would not last long." Zhao Kuo sighed and then said, "Okay, I understand."

Gan Luo was in a hurry to go back and report his case. Zhao Kuo asked him to send him the news to the ministers in the court. He had already improved a lot, so there was no need to worry anymore.

After sending Ganluo away, Zhao Kuo changed into plainclothes. He called Qi and asked Qi to help him drive. Then, under the protection of several warriors, he rushed towards Xinzheng. Zhao Kuo's army had already returned to Xinzheng, and Meng Ao and Wang Jian were also preparing to withdraw their troops from the front line. After Chu and Wei withdraw from the war, King Zhao also expressed a strong tendency to negotiate. It can be seen that this war will soon end.

Zhao Kuo stayed here to rest due to his health. Now Zhao Kuo felt that he could act, so he had to sit and rush to Xinzheng. By the way, he also looked at the situation in various places. South Korea had just become the territory of Qin, but Lu Buwei sent a large number of officials to pacify the people here. At the same time, he transferred a lot of supplies from Qin, such as plowing oxen and farm tools. Now it is not the time to plant spring.

On the contrary, the cold winter is coming.

This is also something that everyone is very worried about. They are afraid that Ma Fujun will not be able to withstand this cold winter.

Although it was in the cold winter, there were still many things that the local government had to do. Because it had just occupied the place, it was necessary to arrange a large number of grassroots officials to promote the laws and systems of Qin, so that the people could understand what they needed to pay attention to in life under the rule of Qin. Let those scattered knights and pick up hoes, and let the rich hand over their land and retainers, accept treatment equal to their titles, and not overstep them.

He also distributed the land of the Korean ministers, royal families and nobles to the Koreans who had no arable land and became retainers.

There are not many people in South Korea, but they are crowded within the territory of South Korea, which seems a bit crowded, so a group of people need to migrate to the vast land where there is wealthy land that allows them to reclaim. Many people are unwilling to leave their hometown, but when they stay in their hometown, they can only starve to death, even the stubborn people can only cooperate. Therefore, Zhao Kuo saw the most on the roads, the Koreans who were applying for "identity cards" and "household registration books".

There are also pavilion leaders in various places who preach the law. It is not easy for these pavilions to be because most of them are Qin people and they can speak elegant language, but the people at the bottom don’t say it. It is difficult for them to communicate with the Koreans. Lu Buwei also thought of this, so most of the officials who came were Qin people from Shangdang and Sanchuan who originally belonged to South Korea, which made Zhao Kuo feel the importance of promoting "Mandarin".

Of course, this cannot be compulsory. If the country requires that Mandarin be used uniformly and other discourses cannot be spoken, and violators are severely punished, it will definitely cause civil unrest. Even after more than two thousand years, different dialects can be heard in various parts of China, which is normal. Local dialects also have their own unique charm and show a rich and diverse culture, but the promotion of "Mandarin" must also be implemented.

Zhao Kuo also noticed that the Korean people seemed a little scared. The national consciousness has not yet been formed. Apart from the nobles, the lower-class people almost have no such idea. Because there is ceasing and ceasing at this time, you are still a Korean today, and you may be ceased to Chu State tomorrow and become a Chu person. The King of Chu granted another ceasing monarch the day after tomorrow, and you will become the people of this monarch... So the reason why they were afraid was probably not because of the destruction of South Korea, but just concerns about the future.

Because of strangeness and reputation as the tyrant Qin, I am afraid.

We must implement benevolent government as soon as possible so that the Korean people can live better than the previous year, so that they can be confident in the future, rather than just fear.

Zhao Kuo was recording his thoughts all the way, and it was easy to take down these lands, but Zhao Kuo's purpose was never annexation. He also wanted to let the people here live a good life. As long as he could make the 1.8 million Koreans living here live a good life, all the efforts would be worth it. In the household registration registration before the demise of South Korea, they calculated that the population was more than 1.2 million.

In fact, the population is far more than this number, and most retainers and people without arable land are not included. Zhao Kuo predicted that the original South Korean household registration might be more than two million. After experiencing many disasters and fleeing, Qin State re-registered, and instead registered more than 1.8 million people, which is very puzzled... As the center of China, the most densely populated country has such manpower, but cannot mobilize 100,000 people to participate in the war.

Of course, most of the registered people are elderly, children, and women. There are more people who cannot participate in the war than young and middle-aged people.

Qi did not miss this good opportunity. Along the way, he kept asking, telling his confusion. Qi frowned and asked, "Teacher, South Korea clearly has sufficient arable land, strong crossbows, sharp swords, and sufficient manpower, but why did it become so weak? It is said that South Korea's weakness is because it is full of powerful enemies on all sides, but at the beginning, South Korea destroyed the powerful Zheng State and regarded all the heroes. Why is this?"

"Ah... when the king ruled the country, the quality of the king is the biggest factor affecting the prosperity of the country... It is the powerful Qin State, if it encounters a foolish and cruel king, it will definitely become weak... What's so strange about this? Therefore, if you want to make the country stronger, you will restrict the power of the king. Not just the king, but you must forbid a person to completely rule a country... The best way is to let the people take charge, but I'm afraid it's still impossible to do it now."

"Therefore, we must find ways to improve the people's personal cultivation and achieve a balance of power so that we will not let the whole family dominate."

Qi listened very seriously. Although what the teacher said was a bit scary, Qi was used to it. The teacher always did this. The two of them spoke and walked. When they arrived at the gate of Xinzheng, Zhao Kuo suddenly noticed that a half-aged child was standing inside the city gate, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something... Looking at the child's confused and helpless appearance, Zhao Kuo asked Qi to stop the car.

With Qi's support, Zhao Kuo slowly walked to the child. He smiled gently, and then asked in standard Korean: "Child, what are you doing here?"

The child looked very polite. When faced with the elder's inquiry, he first leaned over to salute, and then said, "I'm waiting for my father here."

"Where did your father go?"

"Previously, my father said he had to go out for something, and then he never came back. I asked my mother, but she refused to say...I'm just waiting for my father to come back here." The child said seriously, Zhao Kuo's heart trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he asked, "Child, where is your home? I'll send you back first." The child was entangled for a moment, and then he said stubbornly: "Thank you for your kindness, I still want to wait."

"Then I'll wait with you."

Qi was shocked and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when he looked at the teacher's kind smile.

So, two people, one big and one small, were waiting here. The soldiers guarding the city knew Zhao Kuo's identity and immediately sent the seat. Both of them sat down. The child was probably surprised to see the soldiers respect the kind "uncle" beside him. He asked, "Are you an official in Qin?"

"Yes... do you hate the officials of Qin?"

"Why do I hate the officials of Qin State...what official do you work as?"

"I just do some farm work, copy books, and so on."

"Then I understand, you are a diannong in the countryside, are you?"

Qi couldn't help laughing. After Zhao Kuo looked at him, Qi lowered his head and did not dare to laugh anymore.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes... It seems that your father has not come back today, so I'd better send you home... Otherwise, your mother should be worried about you..."

"Where is your home?"

"It's the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beicheng, where my house is."
