Chapter 704: Reject the election

In fact, such incidents are not unique. Long before this armed merchant ship was burned down, a negligent armed merchant ship of the Qin State had already been robbed. The method was also when the Qin State armed merchant ships docked for resupply. I took the opportunity to slip onto the ship and then killed the crew, but most of the crew were killed, and only a small part of the crew were left behind. For example, the captain's chief mate, and the engineer. The boiler crew and the seamen were left behind. Everything else is gan off. The next day, the water pirates directly ordered these people to drive away the armed merchant ships grandiosely.

Qin's armed merchant ships are quite rich. Armed merchant ships not only have a large number of weapons and equipment, but these weapons and equipment have never been seen before, let alone used. At the same time, there are a large number of industrial products, processed agricultural products, and a large amount of Qin's cash on board, all of which are funds used by Qin for local commercial activities. And now these things have flowed into the hands of the water thief. The merchants armed with merchant ships in the Qin State wanted to build another trade route in Chu State by relying on these to make a fortune, but now they make wedding dresses for others.

It is no wonder that Qin people have always been in an advantageous position in commercial trade. And it is very easy to get rich. As long as you are willing to take risks. Such opportunities are not without opportunities. But there is too much opportunity.

Although the armed merchant ships of the Qin State are difficult to succeed from the front. But these water thieves have never succeeded from the front. They are good at catching a surprise. Therefore, the Qin people suffer quite a bit in this regard. In addition, it is difficult for the entire State of Chu to provide effective supply facilities. Add the official and bandit family. Outsiders like Qin are easy to suffer.

This matter has not been able to reach the Qin government's ears for the time being, because there is no telegraph line in Chu State, and there is no faster speed to talk about this matter. Similarly, the Chu people themselves did not know that such a thing had happened. If they learned that such a thing had happened, they would be very shocked. Qin and Chu have just improved their relations. If conflicts occur at this time, the war is likely to resume.

Just when Qin Chu Yangtze River trade encountered some problems. Zhao Guo's election has also begun to get on track. Zhao's prime minister's election was obviously much more grand than Qin's prime minister's election. Wang Zhao also adopted some of Guo Kai's opinions and announced some regulations for the election of Zhao State.

He stipulated that as long as an adult man can participate, the prime minister's term of office is two years. Originally, the king Zhao planned for four years. But Guo Kai believes that Zhao shouldn't learn from Qin at all. So they changed it to two years.

The prime minister can be re-elected continuously. There is no upper limit. In fact, this article is reserved for Guo Kai himself. If he is elected prime minister, he can be re-elected, because the next one is the most critical.

Zhao Wang has the final veto power in the election of the prime minister, and the voting shall be conducted by registered voting. Voting stipulates that as long as they come to Handan to vote on the election day, they will be regarded as voters. There are many imperfections in such regulations. But this was an unprecedented thing for Zhao Guo.

Then came the candidates, Zhao Wang stipulated. A candidate must be supported by more than 5,000 people and voted to be a candidate. This is relatively open-minded. For candidates. According to the tradition of the Warring States Period. King Zhao did not specify his nationality, even Qin State did not specify his nationality. There is no nationality to distinguish the talent standards in the Warring States Period. Especially in Qin, many prime ministers who made major contributions came from other countries. Therefore, in terms of nationality, Zhao State, like Qin State, did not adopt a nationality to rank qualified candidates.

In this way, talents from other countries can enter Zhao, but there are many talents coming to Zhao. But there are not many daimyo. The reason is that technical talents need to do research, they have no willingness to participate in politics at all, and participating in political activities does not make much sense. The most important thing is that most of the technical talents, especially professionals, are concentrated in the hands of Qin Guo. Qin Guo took reassurance measures to make it difficult for technical talents to drain.

For management, especially the figures of various schools of the Warring States Period, they were mainly concentrated in the Qi State, and the Qin State had relatively few talents in this area. Even in a country like Zhao Guo, there are very few such talents.

The reason. It is probably because Qin did not set up Jixia Academy like Qi did to feed these talents with national taxes. In terms of the use of talents by the state, it is only used for maintenance. Qin's style of study is so pragmatic that most of the professionals are concentrated in Qin. Qin State has never had much influence and market for that kind of unpragmatic academic.

The university home to Zhao is still on the way. The road conditions in Qi are very bad, unlike Qin, Zhao, South Korea, even Yan has a special expressway. However, Qi is still a dirt road, and the ox cart is still used. Horse-drawn carriages are basically official cars. The Qin State is a car. Wang Zhao seems to have overlooked this. The construction of public facilities, especially the diversification of communication methods, has accelerated people's response speed. That's what Zhao Wang thinks. Because in only two or three days, the whole territory of Zhao Guo can basically see the news. Relying on the more developed transportation network can reach Handan to complete the election. As everyone knows, in Qi, some people are slowly rushing to Zhao to participate in the election in a slow ox cart.

For this part, Zhao people don't care whether they come or not. What they care about is the current election candidates.

"Please, let us see General Li." A group of Zhao people in shabby clothes begged the guards to let them pass to see Li Mu in front of the general mansion.

"The general is really not here, you can go back." The guard did not intimidate, but persuaded him to leave.

"I beg you. Let's go in." These people still shouted loudly.

"Go back. Go back." The guard waved helplessly.

In fact, Li Mu knew about these people's request for Li Mu to participate in the election. As long as a telegram, he can know what happened in Handan. But for things like elections. Li Mu believes that this is not a military duty. And soldiers should not be too involved in political affairs. Especially the special sense of mission of soldiers.

Li Mu knew this very well. You know, Zhao Jun had mutiny on several occasions. This is also the reason why Li Mu insisted not to participate in the election and stayed far away in Qin State. If soldiers participate in political activities. Then maybe Zhao Guoguo will be in a mess. Soldiers are different from those politicians. Soldiers have weapons in their hands. If they disagree, they can rely on force to solve the problem. It is because of this. Therefore, Li Mu didn't dare to agree.
