The order of relationship between Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing was established again, and the topic turned to post-war reconstruction.

Liao Chong actually asked Zhao Xing when he was looking at the king: "The war in the past six months has left us without most of the tax revenue this year (the conscription is exempt from taxes). The false actors still have to build cities. Will they collect a little more from the people of the world?"

Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing immediately refused together: "No."

Zhao Yong apologized to his housekeeper: "This unrest broke out in spring, and it was also a turbulent war within us. For the sake of the riot, the enemy mobilized 150,000 people to join the war, and in order to suppress the rebellion, we mobilized no less than 150,000, totaling more than 300,000 Zhao troops, which has greatly affected the Spring Sou Xia Guan. The lives of the people are already very hard, and we can no longer increase the burden on the people." Zhao Yong started from the perspective of loving the people.

Zhao Xing opposed: "It is their obligation for the people to collect. We exempt them from taxes for one year, which is a reward for their patriotism and love for the king. This is a rule. Such good rules cannot be moved. If the rules are changed for our temporary difficulties, the consequences will be quite serious. From then on, the people will feel resentful and no longer willing to apply for the levy. When we encounter wars or start wars, we will have no people to recruit, and our country's foundation will be shaken." Then, he taught in earnestly that Liao Chong was also teaching Zhao Yong: "The laws are to make the country orderly and rules, and to make the foundation of the country stable."

Zhao Yong stood up, Liao Chong took refuge in the seat and bowed to Zhao Xing: "The Master is right, he is the widow (hereinafter) short-sighted."

Feiyi Lechi sighed: "How lucky is Zhao State? It is to have the fault of the Master to support the emperor and his colleagues at any time. The emperor is brave enough to accept advice and his colleagues admit their mistakes frankly. It is difficult for Zhao State to be not strong in such a state of strength."

After Liao Chong admitted his mistake, he reached out and said, "According to the rules, please give me the spoils of this battle." This is Liao Chong's fox tail.

According to the rules of this era, the spoils obtained from going out to fight must be handed over to the monarch. This is like the one that is attributed to all the seizures in later generations.

Then don’t be discouraged. According to the rules, the king will just follow the rules. Then he will leave 30% of the spoils to the national treasury, and the remaining 70% will be sat down and commented on the size of the military merits, and then rewarded them. This is called favor coming from above.

This time, Zhao Xing had no other spoils. He just captured 35,000 soldiers from the Wei Kingdom. These soldiers now have captives and spoils. After being handed over to the monarch, their identity is slaves. The monarch will reward slaves to everyone according to his military merits.

For example, this time, 35,000 slaves returned to the king at 30%, which gave Liao Chong an additional 10,000 slaves, which was 10,000 yuan. This was a huge wealth, which could make Liao Chong's life easier, and it was open source. At the same time, the remaining 25,000 slaves could also be used to reward soldiers who had military achievements in this war, such as Le Chi, Fei Yi, and himself. This would be no longer necessary to spend your own money, which was equivalent to saving money.

"I captured 35,000 soldiers from the Wei Kingdom. Please transfer them to Shangjun Pass as the first group of residents there to build that fortress." Zhao Xing calmly put forward a request for disobedience to the rules.

Liao Chong smiled and pointed at Zhao Xing and said to others: "A firm guardian who claims to be a rule has broken the rules, hahaha, Xingzi, you are so hypocritical."

Zhao Xing said frankly: "I handed over all the prisoners to the monarch, but I asked the monarch to reward me with all the slaves, to build Shangjun Pass and Zhao State, and it can also be said to be Shangjun of the monarch. Why did this break the rules?"

Zhao Yong nodded: "It's the reason. The teacher made the greatest contribution in this battle, but he did not ask for the rewards of slaves, but instead devoted the slaves to the construction of Shangjun Pass in Zhao State. This is the true intention of serving the country."

Liao Chong felt deeply ashamed and could only apologize to Zhao Xing again.

Fei Yi said worriedly: "This group of prisoners is from Wei, and Shangjun Pass is the throat of Wei and Qin. If Wei goes to attack, I am afraid that these Wei people will rebel."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It is precisely because these slaves are from Wei, and this city was once from Wei, and they can rest assured to work for us after returning to their hometown. Once the Qin people come to attack, they will fight to the death for me. At the same time, I will take their families to this city and reunite their family. This will not only increase our population and make this city really a city, so that they will be grateful to me. More importantly, once foreigners come to attack, I will take their families as hostages, and under coercion and temptation, they will fight to the death. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Zhao Yong clapped his hands: "The teacher is indeed completely indecisive. I can really use the uncertain factors in everyone's eyes by myself."

Fei Yi and other ministers also had to admire Zhao Xing's plan.

"Then, take back the fiefs of the fifteen lords of the rebellion, confiscate their property, and you can also reward the soldiers and make up for the empty money and food in the national treasury." Liao Chong suggested again.

Zhao Xing said: "Although I was cheered by countless people on the way back, I felt the huge depression inside. This is not a good thing. May I ask you, how did those 15 rebellious lords deal with it?"

Zhao Yong said: "According to the rules and laws, it has been decided that those rebel families will be executed after the autumn harvest. And their property is now being registered and ready to be taken back from the state." Then he asked in confusion: "Teacher, is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhao Xing suddenly realized: "I know where the suppressed emotions among the people who welcomed me." Then he said with a deep pain: "This rebellion is a war within the country. Those who fight are all Zhao people. If they are defeated, they will be massacred by the monarch. Can such rules be considered benevolence? Because the slaughtered are all Zhao people."

As he said, the originally joyful atmosphere of the banquet became silent. When he looked at the officials and officials, all of them looked sad.

This is a civil war. Those who initiated the rebellion were colleagues who were together. They were also aristocratic class for hundreds of years. They had already had me and I among them. The 15 rebellions that were massacred, and I didn’t know how many wives were, their daughters, and how many grandmothers and daughters-in-laws were in the other family. Although the rebellion was massacred, this is also a rule, and what is avoided is the revenge of their descendants in the future, how cruel is such a rule?

"These 15 families have more than ten thousand people. All of them were massacred, which not only violated the harmony of heaven, but also weakened the population of our Zhao people. Such losses that violate the rules of benevolence should be abolished." Zhao Xing said firmly.
