However, Zhao Yong did not answer directly, but stood up and left the throne, slowly stepped back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. His steps were vigorous and his brows were frowning, obviously thinking.

Suddenly he stopped and Zhao Yong pondered, "Although Qin State had just experienced civil strife, it was not the best time for us Zhao State to seek Qin."

Fei Yi was surprised and said, "Why? Now Qin and Chu are in a bad relationship, and King Huai is deceived into Qin by the King of Qin. Qin and Chu have become a worldly enemy. If I attack Qin, Chu will definitely send troops from the south to respond. Yan and our country are in good terms, so naturally they will not send troops to interfere. Qi is in a bad relationship with Qin. I heard that Mengchangjun is in a bad relationship with Wei and Han, and if I attack Qin, I can invite him to share a spoonful of soup with Qin."

"This is a great opportunity to destroy Qin State. The master's father has planned for many years. Why is hesitant now?"

Zhao Yong's eyes flashed across Fei Yi, looking at the hazy sky outside the hall, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice. "I thought so too. I have worked hard to manage the northern land in the past few years and stationed heavy troops in Yunzhong and Yuci, in order to attack Qin Shangjun from top to bottom with thunder, and then enter Guanzhong with elite cavalry, Chu attacks Hanzhong, Qi, Han and Wei attacks Hexi Hangu, and Qin can be destroyed."

"But after I personally went to Qin to investigate, I found that things were not that simple. Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has been rich and strong, with experts in swords and saws, and external armor and soldiers. When they heard that the warriors were all happy, they would all be happy when they went into battle. This is a terrible country. Unless you are sure to completely destroy this nation, you should never fight with it easily."

Fei Yi took a step forward and said resolutely, "Did your father lose confidence in the invincible iron cavalry you built? No matter how strong the Qin State is, it will never be my opponent of Zhao after the chaos. You should know that Qin State, which has experienced the turmoil of throne, is like a wounded wolf, licking his wounds in seclusion. If you don't take advantage of this time to attack Qin State, I worry that Qin State, which has recovered its vitality, will once again leave Zhao State behind."

Zhao Yong was silent for a long time and said again, "Qin people are tenacious by nature. When Wei's hegemony was in full swing, Qin lost the city and abandoned the land under the repeated attacks of Wu Qi, and lost all the land of Xihe. Even so, he refused to negotiate and fought hard. Now Qin has become a powerful country in the world after Shang Yang's reforms. Even if our elite Zhao army succeeded in attacking Guanzhong, it would be difficult for us to completely occupy Qin, and we will inevitably be deeply trapped in Guanzhong."

"In this way, the war will last for a long time. Even if our Zhao State can conquer Qin, it will be greatly damaged and will be taken advantage of by other countries. Moreover, although our Zhao State has strong military power, it has a fatal disadvantage, that is, insufficient food and grass. If there is a hard battle, it will be difficult to last. Only quick battle and quick decision are the way to win."

Zhao Yong's words revealed the fatal key to Zhao's State, that is, farming is not prosperous, but military prosperity cannot replace the lack of national strength.

The Zhao State land was located in the northern part, and Hu Hua lived in the territory, so the people were generous, martial and profit-oriented, and were mostly chivalrous. Because Zhao was in a war for a long time, the Zhao people had the spirit of martial arts since childhood, and the whole people respected wise men and brave generals, the atmosphere of heroism was everywhere in Zhao. The Zhao people valued business and hated farming, and were lazy and slow. Although there were fertile land in Hebei, they did not want to cultivate. Due to long-term despising the development of agriculture and internal affairs, it indirectly led to the fact that the food and grass and soldiers in the Zhao State had become the top problem in the war for many years.

If we compare the two states of Qin and Zhao, it is not difficult to find that the reforms of Qin Shang Yang were to completely enrich the country and strengthen the army, while the Hu clothing and cavalry of Zhao were more inclined to the military. Although it built an invincible iron cavalry, its achievements in national politics were much worse than that of Qin. If it was a light cavalry, it could use war to support the war. But if the country was full of battles, hundreds of thousands of troops would attack, then there would inevitably be problems in Zhao's supply. Zhao Yong went to Qin to investigate this time and became more aware of the seriousness of the problem, which was also the main reason why he decided to suspend the long-term plan to destroy Qin.

Fei Yi took a step forward and suddenly knelt down and said, "Master Father, I have followed you since I was a child and have always supported your great ambitions. But everything is urgent and slow. If you just seek speed, you may be eager for quick success. It is better to do it slowly. Ten years will not last for twenty years, and one generation will not last for two generations. I think that although the king is young, he is a wise lord. Why don't you place your great ambitions on two generations and slowly plan for it? At that time, Zhao State annexes the eight deserts and achieves the king's career. It is also your contribution to your father!"

Zhao Yong stepped forward to help Fei Yi up, nodded with emotion, "You are right, I should not be eager for quick success and instant benefits. Fei Yi, you are indeed my loyal minister, and I am loyal to me, and I have not misunderstood you."

Fei Yi stood up with Zhao Yong's support, but said, "But what you said about internal affairs is indeed the biggest disadvantage of our Zhao State. It is better to appoint an official who is proficient in taxation as the internal history, so that he can take charge of national taxes, money, and fiscal revenue and expenditure. Then look for opportunities to slowly reform the law, which will definitely not arouse too fierce opposition. What does the master think?"

"Then who do you think can do this job?"

Fei Yi replied without thinking, "I have been prime minister for more than a year and have a lot of knowledge about the ministers in the court. The Shishi Shi Zhao He is very qualified and proficient in tax laws. If he is made a member of the inner history, he will definitely be successful."

"Zhao He?" Zhao Yong thought for a moment and then remembered this taciturn official.

"I remember that Zhao He was also a member of my Zhao State clan and was the descendant of Xiangzi, right? In terms of seniority, he is my clan's brother."

"That's right." Fei Yi smiled and said inciting words; "Why do you dare not use Xiangzi's descendant?"

"It's outrageous." Zhao Yong glared at Fei Yi, "I'm useless to treat you as a confidant, but you look at me like this! I, Zhao Yong, are not a person with a small temperament. As long as I have talent and are willing to serve me, how can I not use it?"

"I am just worried that this person's identity as a public clan is important. He holds money, grain and grain from all over the country. If he is used by the public clan, there may be trouble."

Fei Yi smiled and said, "If the master is worried about this, you can rest assured. Although Zhao He is a royal family member, his family has been declining for many years because of his age. When he was born, his family was already very poor, so he has always been looked down upon by the nobles of the public. This person is rigorous and meticulous. Although he is very wise but has no ambitions. Is he really a talent?"

Zhao Yong smiled and said meaningfully: "You know everything about the officials in the court."

Fei Yi did not defend himself, but said bluntly, "Since the master father regards me as the prime minister, I should do my best. The prime minister will assist the king, maintain the country, govern all officials in the court, and recommend free talents to the country. I am the prime minister, so I naturally have to know the character of my subordinates. Therefore, I sent my retainers to investigate the daily life of these people, and I am a person's character. At the same time, I observe more in the court, and use this as a basis to decide to recommend and dismiss the recommendations."

Zhao Yong laughed, "Just kidding, there is no need to take it seriously."

"Since you Feiyi said that, then this person must be a talented person. Then let him give Han Teng a hundred gold medals to his hometown in the name of his old age. He moved the Tiandi official to be the inner historian. Since the Tiandi official is the lower-ranking official, let him recommend him to take over his Tiandi official."

"No." Fei Yi bowed to accept the order, but said, "I will report to the king now and ask him to issue an edict to implement it."

Zhao Yong was stunned when he heard this, and a displeasure flashed by, but his expression soon returned to normal.
