"Qi Wangjian's letter?" When Li Mu took the letter from He Hua's hand, the commander of the Zhao army couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.

After carefully and repeatedly checking it, Li Mu finally confirmed one thing - this was indeed a secret letter from Linzi.

Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the person who sent the letter very strong in martial arts?" ”

He Hua nodded with palpitations and said, "He was injured beforehand, otherwise he would have died before Lu made a move." ”

Li Mu glanced at He Hua, and suddenly smiled: "Isn't it that in the past two years, you have hollowed out your body for the Hun woman, resulting in a lot of martial arts that are not as good as before?" ”

He Hua snorted, and subconsciously straightened his chest: "Where did the Metropolitan Governor say!" I'm recuperating, just to follow the Metropolitan Governor to make a career now. ”

Li Mu looked He Hua up and down, and said, "You go out first, I have written down this credit." ”

He Hua smiled, touched the back of his head, and stopped talking.

Li Mu, who was about to open the envelope, couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he saw He Hua like this: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, otherwise get out of here!" ”

He Hua rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Governor, it's not that I'm too talkative, I just want to ask, how much credit can this be?" ”

Li Mu glared at He Hua angrily, and said, "I haven't read this letter yet, how can I know how valuable the news in this letter is?" Even if I can go with confidence, will I still be greedy for Mo Ru's merits? ”

He Hua smiled awkwardly: "The Metropolitan Governor said that I am joking, I have also been under the command of the Metropolitan Governor for many years, and I am naturally confident in the character of the Metropolitan Governor." Actually, I just wanted to ask if if the credit was big enough, and if it was enough, could I give some of it to the dead robes. ”

After a pause, He Hua hurriedly said: "If it is not enough, then we still have a hundred people, and it is okay to share our credit together when the settlement is made after the war." ”

After Li Mu listened to He Hua's words, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face, and after a long while, he said: "Don't you know that this private division of military merit is a big crime, and you dare to mention it in front of me?" ”

Because in the Zhao State, military merit was the only way for most ordinary people to obtain new land and new wealth, so the calculation of military merit has always been very strict, and it is strictly forbidden to casually share one's own merit with others.

Otherwise, once the boss forces the subordinates to hand over the credit, won't the subordinates do it in vain? As soon as this wind grows, the army will no longer have combat effectiveness to speak of.

It's a head-scratching thing.

He Hua smiled bitterly and said, "The Metropolitan Governor should know that the situation is not what the Metropolitan Governor thinks. Nowadays, the land and livestock that have been given this credit are all named and surnamed, and even if you want to, you can't transfer them. Therefore, everyone just wants to be able to directly distribute more land and livestock to those orphans and widows, so that they can have more hope in the future. ”

Li Mu was silent.

Li Mu knew that what He Hua said was indeed the truth.

Since Zhao State, like Qin State, stipulates that once he reaches adulthood, he must go out of his family separately, so generally speaking, there is only one adult male in a family.

Under such circumstances, the death of any Zhao soldier means that a Zhao family has lost the breadwinner and the most important labor force in the family.

When a man dies, the remaining orphans and widows must have a very sad life.

Although the Zhao government usually gives a certain amount of bereavement benefits, the bereavement is usually just some money, which can last for a while, but it is difficult to last for a long time.

Only by obtaining enough land can we obtain more living capital for these orphans and widows.

Li Mu was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "You should know that most of those who died in battle were Huns. ”

The Huns, that is, the Huns who surrendered to the state of Zhao.

In the Zhao army, and even within the entire Zhao State, there has always been controversy over how to deal with the Hu people in the north, such as Lin Hu, Lou Fu, Yiqu, and the Huns.

One of the factions advocated simply that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts", and felt that these Hu people were not members of the Huaxia clan at all, so the Zhao State should not accept them, but should enslave them.

Specifically, just like the distinction between the "countrymen" and the "savages" who founded the Zhou Dynasty back then, these Hu people are regarded as "savages" who do not follow the Zhou Dynasty's kingization, and they can be used as hard laborers, slaves, and low-level soldiers, etc., but - they can't be regarded as Zhao people.

This faction is also the mainstream voice in Zhao Guo's political arena today, especially in the military, and there is a large market for it, such as Lian Po, Zhao Kuo and others are supporters of this view.

On the other hand, the opposing faction believes that cavalry will become the protagonist in future wars with its high mobility and flexibility, and the Hu people who grew on horseback are the best candidates for the cavalry of the Zhao State.

If you just want to rely on enslavement, it is impossible to make the Hu people serve loyally, only to give the Hu people the real identity of Zhao people, let the Hu people feel the influence of Zhao culture, and let them admit from the bottom of their hearts that they are Zhao people, so that they will naturally do their best when they fight for Zhao State.

Another very favorable point of view is that when the Jin State, the predecessor of the Zhao State, was expanding, it eliminated many barbarian states entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, and the people and soldiers of these barbarian states later integrated into the Jin State and contributed to the hegemony of the Jin State.

Since the Jin State was able to assimilate the barbarians in the Taihang Mountains, why couldn't the Zhao State assimilate these northern Hu people?

When the Zhou Dynasty was established at the beginning of the 1,000 princes, the entire Central Plains was the world of savages. After a thousand years, the savages have long since disappeared, and all that remains are the princes of the Seven Great Zhou Dynasty.

Doesn't this kind of thing prove that the system of the Zhou Dynasty can actually be effectively assimilated? As the master of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Guo was naturally able to do this.

There are not many people who hold this view, and Li Mu is one of them.

What made Li Mu strange was actually one point, that is, he knew that the He Hua in front of him actually hated the Hu people very much, especially the Huns.

When He Hua knew that he was assigned to the territory of the Huns, he specially came to Li Mu, hoping to ask Li Mu to change places for him, but it didn't work.

So Li Mu really wanted to know what happened to make a guy who hated the Huns so much change his position during this time and became a person who wanted to protect his Hun soldiers' wives and children.
