After walking through the yard and coming to the backyard, Li Ji shook Zhao Xin's hand away and said angrily, "What are you going to do if you pull me?"

At this time, most of the guests had dispersed and the courtyard seemed deserted. Zhao Xin shrunk his hand and smiled bitterly, "Cousin, although you and your uncle are not in harmony, I think you won't really break off relations with the Li family." [..com]

Li Ji snorted coldly, turned his head and said, "What's the point of breaking up like a ruthless and unrighteous wealthy family!"

Zhao Xin quickly pressed his hand and said, "Stop, stop, you scolded me and my whole family will be surrounded."

Li Ji was stunned and said embarrassedly, "Don't be surprised by cousin, I don't mean this, I just said it casually."

Zhao Xin smiled, but he felt a little dissatisfied. Li Ji was actually a harsh person. Although he said it resolutely, he could never let go of it. Otherwise, he would not have come back to his grandfather's birthday.

Although this cousin has not seen him for many years, his honest personality has not changed at all. It is really strange to say that he was raised by his uncle since he was a child and put great expectations on his face, but his temperament is completely opposite to his uncle.

If the uncle was versatile in the court, he could first win the trust of the master and then favor King Zhao, and could also make the young master become a friend. But Li Ji was completely different. Not only was he stereotyped, but he was powerless, but he also had a chivalrous heart. Zhao Xin thought it was very strange to say that these two were father and son.

It is more common for a son than a father, but it is rare for the father and son to have different personalities, especially those who are well-educated.

No wonder Li Dui was extremely disappointed with Li Ji. You should know that Li Dui has many daughters, but only Li Ji, the son, has placed great hope since he was a child. As the head of the Li family carefully trained in the future, he had such a straightforward temperament.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh, thinking that although Li Ji's temperament may not be bad, it is obviously not suitable as the future head of the Li family. If he had mastered the huge resources of the Li family, he might have to make the entire Zhao State the next day.

Seeing that Zhao Xin looked strange, Li Ji asked, "Cousin, you..."

Zhao Xin then came to his senses and smiled quickly, "It's okay."

"Cousin, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

Li Jidao; "I originally invited two days off and set off to return tomorrow. Now it seems that I am not welcome here. I will leave after saying goodbye to my grandfather."

Zhao Xin said suddenly, "What you said, if you really don't want to meet your uncle, you might as well stay at my house today. My mother misses you very much and mentions you several times."

Li Ji nodded and smiled, "Auntie is naturally very good to me. Since childhood, she has treated me sincerely at home."

After chatting casually for a while, he unknowingly talked about interesting things from childhood. Li Ji pointed to a towering tree in the yard and smiled, "Cousin, do you still remember that we were playing under this tree before."

Zhao Xin said with a smile, "Of course I remember that my family was very miserable at that time. The happiest thing was to come to your house with my mother. Not only did I have meat to eat, but I would also not have to be forced by my father to write homework."

Li Ji laughed and said, "It seems that too. At that time, my sisters and I still had a lot of opinions about you. We felt like you were reincarnated like a starving ghost. Every time we came to eat, we had no food to eat."

Zhao Xin scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled and said, "So I had such a bad image in your heart at the beginning."

Li Ji smiled and said, "That's not the case. We are still very happy when you come to your house. My father also has many constraints on us, but when you and my aunt come, we will make us more presumptuous, so we are also looking forward to your visit to your house."

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but look dark and said with some melancholy; "It's just that the eldest and younger sisters married out of the country and have not seen them for five years since they were separated. After I left home, I also cut off my letters from them. I don't know that everything is fine now."

Zhao Xin smiled and comforted, "Cousin, don't worry, I was still looking at their letters at the birthday party, saying that everything was fine. I heard from my mother that my eldest sister had given birth to two sons and her second sister had given birth to a daughter."

Li Ji was overjoyed and blurted out, "Take it serious?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can go to grandpa's place to ask."

Li Ji was in a good mood, but Zhao Xin looked at him and joked, "Cousin, don't just pay attention to these two sisters. You are also your brother, and there is no movement."

Li Ji's face turned red when Zhao Xin said, and he waved his hand, "A real man should take it as his responsibility to stabilize the country. What's the point of doing this kind of children?"

When Zhao Xin saw that he looked shy, he felt very interesting, and then said, "What my cousin said is wrong. There is no conflict between Anbang and Dingguo and his children. No wonder his uncle scolds you all day long. Master Meng said that there are three unfilial things, and there is no descendant. You are really not a big brother..."

Before Zhao Xin finished making fun of him, Li Ji was already overwhelmed and waved his hand quickly, "Stop, stop, I won't talk about this today, I won't talk about this."

He glared at Zhao Xin again and said, "You kid is really promising now, here to make fun of your elder brother. You have grown abilities and become the commander of the Yulin at a young age. This is amazing."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Even cousin, you know."

Li Ji widened his eyes and said, "It's not just me, the entire Zhao State has spread. You must know who can be the fifteen-year-old captain besides the prince."

Zhao Xin smiled "hehe" and felt a little embarrassed by Li Ji's words, so he changed the subject; "Cousin, how did you do it smoothly in the house order?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "It's pretty good, it's just a little tired."

"This is natural." Zhao Xin smiled, "The house is my Zhao State big city. You are the ruling of a county, so you are naturally busy with business."

Unexpectedly, Li Ji shook his head and said, "This is not entirely true. Although business is busy, it is not too exhausted."

Zhao Xin said in surprise, "Oh? Why is that?"

Li Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "I have been in the house for more than three years. After staying for a long time, I will naturally pay attention to other issues. I gradually discovered some of the bad policies in the national affairs of my State of Zhao."

Zhao Xin was stunned and immediately showed an interesting look and said, "Let me listen, let me also take a detailed look."

Li Ji looked around and headed towards a courtyard road in the distance. "This is a long story, let's go and sit there and talk slowly."

The two walked to the courtyard and sat down. Li Ji paused and said, "Since you are the one who led the army to fight, I will ask you what do you think you should first protect before sending troops to fight and what are the first considerations."

Zhao Xin said without hesitation; "Many, such as the choice of generals, the training of soldiers, the morale of the times, places, and people. Of course, the most important thing is naturally food, grass and equipment. The so-called "three armies have not moved, food and grass will go first, and without food and supplies, there is naturally no way to talk about marching and fighting."

Li Ji nodded in agreement, "That's right, if food and grass cannot be guaranteed, then how can we fight?"

"But do you know that the land tax collected by our Zhao State is only enough to support the army of Zhao State's national strength to eat for half a year. If the war is delayed for more than half a year, you must purchase food and grass from Qi State and Wei State, otherwise you will face the risk of cutting off food and grass. If you purchase food and grass from Qi State and Wei State, this is equivalent to making our Zhao State's lifeline stuck in the hands of others, and you will inevitably be unable to sleep or eat. If you fight with Qi State and Wei State, wouldn't you ask for trouble?"

"This is strange." Zhao Xin asked in surprise. "If the land in the north is poor and suitable for nomadic things, it is understandable. But the south of the Dailand is the essence of our Zhao Kingdom. Both the landform and the climate are not lacking in the main job of a granary. But why is the grain produced in Zhao so unhealthy?"
