Zhao Xing’s reform in food is actually not reform, but in principle it is called regression.

That is to implement the national reserve system and set up reserve granaries in various places, especially in Dai Township.

The Zhou Dynasty already had a granary reserve system. The Book of Rites said that if there is no good fortune, if there is no position in four years, and if the country does not have nine years of reserves, it will be insufficient. If there is no storage for six years, it will be urgent. If there is no storage for three years, the country will die. This shows how much the Zhou people attached great importance to the reserve of grain.

Almost all the officials were excited about the sudden need to store food again.

At the beginning, these officials did not fail to mention to Zhao Xing that they had established their own food reserve system, and at the same time they all moved out of the Book of Rites to convince the master.

As a result, Zhao Xing's philosophy was a great leap forward with them. His philosophy was to hide rich people. Since it was rich people, what did it hide? According to the representative of wealth in this era, that is food.

Zhao Xing argued with them that if they store food in the hands of the people themselves, they will store it more carefully and save the government's additional economic expenses.

In terms of sophistry, in this era, there were actually few opponents of Zhao Xing, and even those strategists could not compare.

So that debate ended with Zhao Xing's complete victory. Although the officials who failed the debate finally agreed with the views and practices of the Lord, and although they felt that something was wrong, Zhao Xing's territory was the mastermind. Since everyone could not argue, they could only agree.

As a result, this time, I suddenly turned around for no reason. Although I was suspected of slapping myself, since the Lord had the awareness of spitting on my face, everyone was unable to seek it.

As a result, everyone really felt something wrong with Zhao Xing, because the purpose of these is to reserve and prepare for war, and the other is to raise prices and drive the market economy. In fact, it is to artificially raise the purchase of grain in the hands of the people.

"But I still refuse to implement the tax policy of collecting grain directly from the people. We want to eliminate the possibility of waste and exploitation at this point, and we still charge money from the people. Then, we set up close positions in major cities in various places, and then we set up prices to purchase. I call this policy market protection price. In the harvest season, we are higher than the market price and purchase grains in the hands of the people. When the weather is not met, we will release a batch of grain appropriately to stabilize prices, and then ensure that each warehouse has sufficient war reserves."

This is a very good half-method, but at the same time, everyone heard the word "war" and immediately became alert.

Yin Qi immediately asked, "Lord, where are we going to fight?"

Yin Qi was not from Zhao, so he was disgusted with war.

Zhao Xing stood up and stabilized the morale of the army: "Now, there are many places we should fight, such as Zhongshan, for example, we want to take back my fiefdom, Hexi County, etc. However, now I decided that even if the enemy provokes war, we will adopt an attitude of calming things down. Within three years, we will focus on development and never fight."

Now, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This year, our first task is to implement this food policy. At the same time, in order to quickly fill the shortcomings of our granary." Then he said meaningfully: "We must follow the Zhou rituals of the Book of Rites. We must store food for at least four years, otherwise I will be panicked."

The government’s purchase of grain is a good policy for the people to go around, but as long as the government handles the storage and transaction of such materials, corruption will definitely occur.

At this point, Zhao Xing was mentally prepared and also strictly guarded. After all, he verbally called for separation of family and country, but subconsciously, Dai County is his own fiefdom, which is his own. Officials embezzled Xingjun Mansion, which is equivalent to embezzling his own. Is that so great?

So, Zhao Xing ran around the world day and night, openly and secretly investigating the thief who embezzled his own money.

Fortunately, people in this era still pay attention to ethics. They do not embezzle, but they like to accept gifts. For example, they like to accept gifts from grain merchants, and they believe that since the treasury needs to store grain, then from the people, why not directly purchase bulk directly from grain merchants, save time and effort.

Policies are often interpreted in this way.

It was just finished here, but the acquisition of cruel officials had problems again. Although Dai County brought Zhao State and had a unified weight and measure, it would not be too big to small to go out, but the hidden methods were called a variety of renovations.

Therefore, Zhao Xing had to fight wits and courage with the cruel officials again.

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice were also busy, but unfortunately, this was not a good one.

However, through Zhao Xing's efforts, he had roughly understood his current family background, which made him feel relieved and satisfied.

However, when Zhao Xingzhi was satisfied, Le Yi once again asked Zhao Xing a difficult problem. Now, Le Yi is the creator of these difficult problems.

Le Yi stood in front of the 50,000 army and said to Zhao Xing: "We attacked Zhongshan from the north, facing the passes along the way, and we needed to fight over it layer by layer. Then we left the Taihang Mountains, and we were about to face the strong cities built by Zhongshan.

Zhongshan, Bai Rong, was born with strong blood and bravery in his bones, and they learned the techniques of building cities in the Central Plains and the methods of defending the city. In this way, if we want to completely occupy Zhongshan, we must carry out arduous siege battles." Then we pointed to the expensive cavalry: "However, these cavalry are not suitable for siege battles, and the recruited infantry are the main force of siege battles. So, my smart brother, now you have a single cavalry who is not good at siege, but you have issued an order to no longer recruit recruit soldiers who are good at siege, that is, you no longer have infantry. From then on, you will only be able to see the cities of Zhongshan but not to capture them."

Then he gloatingly looked at Zhao Xing, who was already in a dark face: "I don't know what you will use to occupy the cities of Zhongshan in the future. If you don't occupy their cities, will you still be called destroying the country?"

Zhao Xing was very frustrated, and then he lowered his head and walked towards his home with his face: "I wondered, for thousands of years, the nomadic peoples on the grassland have occupied the Central Plains several times. They are all cavalrymen, not as good as my current cavalry. How did they occupy the cities of the Central Plains?"

But then he felt relieved: "The cavalry of the ancient grassland people were herders who were temporarily rectified. They were not as expensive as themselves. Their lives were like grass, and they were fighting for the battlefield, but they were also desperate to attack the city. But Le Yi was right. It was a waste to use my precious cavalry to attack the city and draw the village, and I couldn't bear to leave it."

Then he slammed his head while walking, and the sound of jumping around made him feel pain even when Xu Jie was inseparable.

"I've been taking it upon myself. At the beginning, I advised you not to abolish the recruitment system. Now, those Chinese people have paid the military service with joy. Haha, if you recruit them again, you will be dishonest. If the superiors are not sincere, your rule will collapse."

Zhao Xing asked in wonder: "Have you reminded me?"

Xu Jie replied proudly: "Have I not reminded you?"

Zhao Xing was speechless. It was too long that he forgot.

However, after returning home, when he saw his daughter's admiration for him, Zhao Xing believed that he must be an omnipotent person.
