Chapter 272

The State of Zhao destroyed the Zhongshan, which was intertwined for several generations, which was of great significance to the State of Zhao.

From then on, the State of Zhao, which was originally divided by Zhongshan, connected the two counties of the Jin Dynasty into a whole. The State of Zhao's land area increased by one third. In terms of the entire land area, population, and military strength, the State of Zhao was unswervingly the leader of this country with many princes and the capital to fight for the world.

Looking at the three weapons of Zhongshan and touching the inscription engraved on the three weapons of a king in Zhongshan Kingdom above them, Zhao Xing said meaningfully to Zhao Yong and all the officials in the palace of King Zhao: "How good is it said in "A Friends Are Not Related, Enemies Are On the Side". This is exactly what we say for the Zhao people. Don't be complacent and celebrate with each other. Zhao State, the real crisis has already emerged."

Hearing Zhao Xing's words, the originally grand and noisy celebration banquet became silent, and all eyes were turned to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing looked serious and looked at those who disagreed, those who were complacent, those who were respectful and listened, quoted the Warring States policy that only existed in later generations and said: "We destroyed Zhongshan, and the land of Zhongshan was 500 miles away. Zhao was good at it, and he made spiritual life and connected with the county. He became a unique powerful country in the world. He achieved success, made fame, and gained profit, and could not harm the world. According to human words, we were a complete victory. But."

The word "Dan" is really loud and loud, because Zhao Xing hit the Zhongshan Iron-footed Cauldron hard, and the huge sound was really disharmonious.

"But, no one in the world can harm, how long can we last? You should be sober and see that it took a year and a half to consume all our accumulations, delayed two years of taxes, and delayed the people's farming work. In fact, our Zhao State has been hollowed out. But internationally, because of the annexation of Zhongshan, we have become the fear of the princes of the world, and we have become the target of the princes of the world."

After saying this, the first to calm down, Fei Yi said worriedly: "The Master is right. The princes have been fighting for so many years, and there is a delicate balance. If Chu is strong, then the ten countries will attack Chu, Qin is strong, and the five countries will unite. No one wants a great power that will overwhelm the heroes in this Central Plains. Now, as the Master said, we have really become the target of public criticism."

Zhao Xing was very pleased, pleased that the prime ministers of the two dynasties, who were actually higher in prestige than Zhao Yong, could have such a clear intention.

Le Yi was already the general of Zhao State. In this battle to destroy the country, his performance was recognized by the entire Zhao State and became the vassal of Zhao State. Of course, he was qualified to speak. So he also agreed with Fei Yi, but he was actually his own brother Zhao Xing: "Mr. Tang was right. After this battle, our Zhao State has actually been strong from the outside and the middle. In terms of the army, the 50,000 cavalry we had built with all our strength lost 30,000, and the civilian army we recruited lost more than 100,000, which was exhausted. Therefore, we should turn off attack to defense in the future."

Then he bowed to Zhao Yong: "If there is any war, we can only rely on Xingjun to maintain it. Please take care of yourself."

Zhao Xing could only grit his teeth at this brother who obviously betrayed him. Le Yi looked at the four big words "eat the inside and out" on his brother's face, and smiled proudly, and also flowed on his face: "I am a scholar to eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king. I must stick to the moral integrity of a scholar."

It is also Fengjun. Xu Jie, who is qualified to sit in this court, smiled slightly at Le Yi.

Le Yi could ignore his anger at his brother, but he felt the Feng Dao and Xue Jian in Xu Jie's smile, and couldn't help but tremble - this kid wanted to obscene himself.

Xu Jie smiled, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, looked through it for a while, and said to Le Yi with a heavy expression: "My general, this time, Zhongshan will be destroyed, and my Dai County will lose 15,000 cavalry. The Loufan tribe under the jurisdiction of Dai Xingjun will lose 40,000 cavalry. I ask you to calculate the pension." Then he stopped what Le Yi wanted to say and sent the paper to Le Yi: "Don't tell me that there is no way to provide pension in the world. Then, I will tell you now that we have it. This is the rule of Dai County." Then he said proudly: "Of course, this will soon become the rule of the world. Since our Dai County and Loufan are fighting for the country, there is no spoils of half of the land of Zhongshan that was agreed to have, then, please give the appropriation, casualty pension and military pay in total, 210 million yuan, bring it."

Le Yi was sweating coldly at that time and said, "I just want to fight."

Xu Jie retorted righteously at that time: "General, you are in charge of all the military and horses of Zhao State, how can you just fight? This is a dereliction of duty. My Dai County and Loufan military and horses are also under your control in name, so I must owe you what I owe me."

Le Yi was ashamed and couldn't help but look at Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing turned his head and ignored him directly, but he could clearly see the three big words "Reverse Bones" flashing on the back of his brother Zhao Xing's head.

Le Yi immediately knew that he was wrong and that he could not escape the palms of these two people no matter what.

The Minister of Revenue also lamented: "The wheat we accumulated in four years has been eaten up, and we have also exempted the two-year tax of 400,000 soldiers, that is, 400,000 households. The treasury is empty. We cannot start any war. Please ask the Lord to pay tribute to Xingjun twice."

Zhao Xing obviously floated across his face: "I'll strangle you to death."

The Minister of Revenue ignored this. Four big words passed by, and I don’t care about you.

Xu Jie bowed: "Doctor, what's your name?"

Asking the question of the ten-house prince who was already superior to others, the Shangshu couldn't help but shrink his neck and murmured that he didn't dare to sign up.

Xu Jie smiled and said to him, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Then he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, looked through it for a while, and muttered with relief: "I found it." Then he felt cold on his back.

Xu Jie said to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Zhao State: "We can't let our own logistics and food be destroyed, because according to the rules, this is our obligation to be a vassal of the monarch. But the army of the emperor needs is borrowed from us from the county. Well, this is the number of borrowed from each time. Please pay it back in the near future."

When the Minister of Revenue saw the numbers on it, he felt dizzy and his lips trembled, "This, I just said, this treasury is empty."

Xu Jie was unhappy at the time: "If the treasury is empty, don't you pay it back? Our landlords' family have no surplus grains, so we are still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot."

In order to divert the embarrassment of colleagues, the Minister of Personnel said: "Now that Zhongshan has just been in hand, it needs to be restored the most, especially at the suggestion of Xingjun, we will thoroughly implement the county system in Zhongshan and no longer establish a lord of the lord, so--"

Xu Jie immediately showed anger.

This is what he hated the most, because according to the agreement, Zhao Xing took Zhongshan to return the country, and there was no longer the rule of giving half of the conferred to Zhao Xing. Therefore, Xu Jie believed that if Zhao Xing got half of Zhongshan and at least he could get the fiefdom of one or two villages and towns, he would not be respected openly as a monarch, but in fact he was secretly called the village chief.

"By the way, we had hundreds of officials who were placed for the country in the occupied area. We should withdraw all the agreements between the emperor and my family leader and give Zhongshan completely to the emperor. Okay, please send someone to accept it immediately." Then we did not forget to say to the Minister of Revenue, who had already lost his food: "Don't forget the salary of officials in this year and a half. We paid for the presidency on behalf of the county, so we must not be able to return a grain of rice."

The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites fainted directly.

The Ministry of Revenue is easy to say, but the Ministry of Personnel fainted because he really couldn't let Zhao Xing's officials withdraw.

First of all, he didn't have so many officials in his hands. Even if he had them, he didn't have that talent. Even if he had them, he was not as familiar with the policies of those officials of Zhao Xing. If Zhao Xing really withdrew his officials, half of Zhongshan would completely turn into anarchy. At that time, Zhongshan would not be his own fat, but a hedgehog.

The Minister of Rites was about to open his mouth, but Xu Jie smiled slightly and reached into his arms.

The Ministry of Rites remembered the edict of the Zhou emperor that blocked the mouths of the princes in the world during this Battle of Zhongshan. It is said that Zhao Xing bought it for a large price, so he immediately shut up.

Seeing the people below getting defeated in front of Xu Jie, Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Xing: "Teacher, the country is in trouble."

Zhao Xing immediately replied in pain: "Your teacher's wife - I'm in trouble."
