In the first year of Han Zhaohou (362 BC), Qin Jun defeated the Korean army in Xishan.
In the second year of Han Zhaohou (36 BC1), the state of Song captured the South Huangchi. In the same year, Wei captured South Korea.
In the sixth year of Han Zhaohou (357 BC), Han Zhaohou sent troops to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and occupied Lingguan and Xingqiu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Han Zhaohou (355 BC), Han Zhaohou appointed Shen Buhai as South Korean Prime Minister. Shen Buhai used the political skills of the Legalists and carried out the Legalists' ideas, so that the North Korean country was governed and the vassals did not invade.
In the 11th year of Han Zhaohou (352 BC), Han Zhaohou went to Qin to meet Qin Xiaogong.
In the 22nd year of Han Zhaohou (34 BC1), Shen Buhai died.
In the 24th year of Han Zhaohou (339 BC), Qin Jun captured Yiyang.
In the twenty-sixth year of Han Zhaohou (337 BC, one died in 333 BC), Han Zhaohou died and his son Han Xuanhui succeeded to the throne.
As a political measure, Shen Buhai and Han Zhaohou were reused for ten years (the first 353 years), and troops were sent to attack the Zhou Dynasty, occupying Lingguan and Lianqiu villages. Two years later, a small official, Shen Buhai, recommended himself to Zhao Hou, who appointed Shen Buhai as Prime Minister. During the fifteen years before and after Shen Buhai became prime minister (35 1-337), the internal reform and diplomatic peace-making also made South Korea a first-class power. On one occasion, Shen Buhai recommended his cousin to be an official, but Han Zhaohou refused, and Shen Buhai was very unhappy. Zhao Hou said: "I learned the way of governing the country from you. Now, shall I accept your request and break the rules you set? " Or abide by your rules and refuse your invitation? You once taught me to be strict in rewards and punishments and orderly in employing people. And you gave it away in private. Say, what do you want me to hear? Shen Buhai was sweating profusely and repented: "You are the real monarch I want. "
The principle of employing people advocated by Shen Buhai is "being an official, being upright and being accountable", while Han Zhaohou remembers the "skill" of governing the country taught by Shen Buhai, not because Shen Buhai has made contributions to the country and made South Korea rich and strong.
During the Political Warring States Period, South Korea was in what is now Henan. Records in Historical Records: "Koryo's first name was Zhou, and her last name was Ji. Later, the Miao people arrived in Jin and were sealed in Hanyuan, called Hanwuzi. " In other words, the ancestors of Koreans were originally sealed in Hanyuan. To the Han Jue, in the state of Jin, it is listed as one of the six Qing departments, that is, "Jin is the six Qing departments, and the Han Jue is in the position of a Qing Dynasty, with the title of offering a son". Zi Xuan, son of Xian Zi, moved to Xiangzhou. Zi Xuan Zhen Zi moved to Pingyang. As for the place "Zheng", it was not the territory of North Korea at first, but another vassal state-Zheng State. "Historical Records" records that "in the first year of mourning for Hou, he shared Jin with Zhao and Wei. In two years, Zheng was destroyed by moving to Zheng. " We know that the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is marked by the division of Jin by Han, Wei and Zhao. Therefore, the capital of South Korea during the Warring States period should be Zheng.
Historical Records records the territory of Qin State when it annexed Korea: "In nine years, Wang An (the last king of Korea) entered its land and became Yingzhou County." The above information shows that the territory of North Korea should be roughly south of the Yellow River, so it does not include Hebei, but on the river bank. So it is in Henan, between Zhengzhou and Luoyang, bordering Shanxi in the northwest, but not Huaihe River (then Chu State) in the south.
During the period of agricultural Han Zhaohou, improving soil through fertilization was an important factor to increase agricultural output. With the improvement of farm tools and the progress of farming technology, the output per unit area of grain has been greatly improved, and the double cropping system has been popularized in some places. Guo Fu, Xunzi, said, "Today's local crops are full of grains. If people manage well, they will get a few pots per mu, and then they will get them at the age of one." In a word, the agricultural production in the Warring States period developed very rapidly, and the production level was fundamentally improved. In South Han Zhaohou, iron farm tools have been widely used in agricultural production, and iron plowing has become a very common thing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the iron farm tools discovered by archaeology mainly include shovels, shovels, hoes and sickles. The popularization and use of iron farm tools is conducive to reclaiming a large number of wasteland and improving farming efficiency. Niu Geng was more common in Han Zhaohou and the Warring States Period. The combination of iron farm tools and power reserves provides conditions for intensive cultivation. On Han Feizi's theory of foreign reserves: "The tiller has his depth and the tiller has his familiarity." Without animal power and iron farm tools, it is impossible to cultivate intensively.
In the long-term farming practice, farmers have more production experience. They have been able to understand and distinguish the soil from its color, nature and fertility, and cultivate it according to local conditions. Farmers attach great importance to fertilizing the land. "It is a farmer's business to cover the surface mu, plough the valley with thorns and plough more manure fields."
During the economic Han Zhaohou period, Korean commerce was also very developed, mainly
It is manifested in the activity of businessmen, the prosperity of cities and the circulation of money. 1. During the period of Han Zhaohou, with the development of commerce and the prosperity of cities, the circulation of metal money became more extensive. There were two kinds of metal coins at that time: copper coins and gold coins. There are four kinds of copper coins: Yan and Qi used knife coins, Zhou and Qin used round coins, Sanjin used cloth coins, and Chu used "ant nose money". Gold coins are generally measured in gold (16 Liang) and Iraq (22 Liang), as well as "cake gold" and "ying". (Cake gold is cake-shaped gold nugget, square gold nugget) The entry of metal money into the field of commodity circulation is an important manifestation of the development of commodity economy.
2. During the Han Zhaohou period, urban prosperity was an important manifestation of commercial development. During the Warring States period, many big cities with developed industry and commerce appeared, namely Yangzhai (now Yuxian County, Henan Province).
3. Korean businessmen sell between countries, which expands the scope of commodity exchange. The Central Plains market can buy horses in the north, fish in the south, salt in the east, leather in the west and other local specialties. Big businessmen are more active, such as Bai Gui, who used the method of "people abandon me and take me" (Biography of Historical Records and Huo Zhi) to engage in speculative transactions and earn a lot of wealth. Yidun, a salt merchant in Hedong, and Guo Zongfu, an iron merchant in Handan, were rich in the world, making friends with governors and interfering in politics. Yang Zhai, Da Jia and Lv Buwei became daughters, participated in politics and became prime ministers by selling cheaply and selling expensively.

Although Tang Gongjian is a monarch who knows how to use people, he seldom pays attention to what he says, which leads to some important secrets being inadvertently leaked out, making the plans decided by ministers impossible to implement. Therefore, the ministers in one's hand and in one's hand are very nerve-racking and dare not tell Han Zhaohou directly. Until one day, a man who claimed to be the Tang Palace ran to Han Zhaohou and said, "If there is a jade wine vessel worth 1000 yuan, but the middle is empty and there is no foundation, can it hold water?" So Han Zhaohou replied, "That's impossible." Tang Huogong asked again, "If there is a crock, although it is very worthless, I won't miss it. I ask you, can it hold wine? " Han Zhaohou replied, "Yes." At this time, Tang Palace took the opportunity to say, "Here it is. A crock, although worthless and simple, can hold wine because it won't miss; On the contrary, a wine vessel made of jade, although expensive, is empty and bottomless, so it can't even hold water, let alone people will pour delicious drinks into it. So do people. As a monarch with supreme status and the most important etiquette, if he often reveals his lieutenants to discuss relevant state secrets, then he is like a jade without a bottom. Even the most talented person, if his secret will leak out one day, then his plan is simply a bubble, and he can't display his talent and strategy. " At the same time, Han Zhaohou really understood. He kept nodding and said, "You're right! You are right! " After the Tang Palace's persuasion, when Han Zhaohou wants to take major measures, Han Zhaohou will carefully plan with ministers and even sleep alone at night, because he is worried that he will talk in his sleep and reveal his plans and strategies to others to prevent missing state affairs.
Congratulations to Qin Xiaogong in the 20th year of Zhao Hou (343 BC). King Xian of Zhou appointed Qin Xiaogong as the covenant leader of western countries. At that time, Han Zhaohou congratulated Qin Xiaogong, and Qin Xiaogong ordered his son to lead an army to meet the monarchs of various countries, and went to the Okanagan Valley (now a little north of Xingyang, Henan) to make a pilgrimage to King Zhou Xian.
In the 26th year of Emperor Zhao (337 BC), Prime Minister Shen Buhai passed away. Three years later, when a tall gate was built, Qu Yijiu said to Zhao Hou, "I don't think you will ever get out of this gate. Why? Because the timing is not right. Not the meaning of time. Doesn't mean the time is wrong. Sometimes life is smooth and sometimes it is unfortunate. Once upon a time, you were smooth sailing, but you didn't build a high gate. Last year, Qin occupied Yiyang (now west of Yiyang, Henan), and there was a drought in South Korea. You don't practice strict economy and don't care about the people's difficulties, but you are extravagant, just like strengthening the country and enriching the people. This is a measure of national subjugation. Therefore, it is not the time yet. " The following year, the halls were built, Zhao Hou died, and his son Han succeeded to the throne.
On one occasion, Han Zhaohou was drunk on the bed and didn't wake up after sleeping for a long time. His official Canon crown worried that the king would catch a cold, so he asked Canon, who was in charge of clothes, that a dress covered Han Zhaohou. A few hours later, Han Zhaohou finally woke up. He feels very comfortable. I don't know who covered him with a dress. He feels very warm. He intends to praise the man who dressed him. So he asked the attendants around him, "Who covered my clothes?" The waiter replied, "This is a crown."
Hearing this, the Han Zhaohou face immediately sank down. He got the crown and asked
: "Did you cover my clothes?" The crown said, "Yes." Han Zhaohou asked again, "Where did you get the clothes?" Canon's crown replied, "I got it from Canon." Han Zhaohou sent someone to get the classic dress again and asked, "Did you give it to him?" The ceremonies answered, "Yes." Han Zhaohou severely criticized Dian Wei and Dian Guan: "You both made big mistakes today, you know?" Canon crown, Canon clothes two people looked at each other, haven't fully understand what is going on. Han Zhaohou said, pointing to them, "Canon crown, you are not a waiter around me. Why do you leave your post without authorization to do something beyond your authority? " ? As an official in charge of clothes, how can you use your authority to give clothes to others? Your behavior is an obvious dereliction of duty. Today, one of you overstepped your authority and the other neglected his duty. If everyone did as you did, wouldn't the whole court be a mess? So we must punish you severely, let you learn a lesson and let everyone take a warning. So Han Zhaohou demoted them both together. Today, Han Zhaohou's practice may seem a little excessive, but his spirit of strict duty, strict law enforcement and not being emotional is still worthy of recognition and has certain positive significance.
Shen Buhai "entered through the back door", and Han Zhaohou appointed Shen Buhai as the prime minister, making south Korean soldiers rule the country.
Shen Buhai turned out to be a humble official of the State of Zheng. Because he learned and mastered Huang Lao's theory of criminal names, he told Han Zhaohou about the "learning of criminal names" and asked Zhao Hou to appoint him. Han Zhaohou appreciated Shen Buhai's intelligence and appointed him as the prime minister of South Korea. Shen Buhai, with the support of Zhao Hou, reorganized politics and religion at home and dealt with other countries for fifteen years, maintaining the status of a powerful country in South Korea, and wrote two books called Shenzi.
However, once, Shen Buhai asked for an official position for his uncle and brother, but Han Zhaohou refused. Therefore, Shen Buhai looked unhappy. Zhao Hou said to him, "The purpose of my study with you is to govern the country. Is it time to listen to your request and abandon your theory? Or practice your own theory and give up your own requirements? Didn't you once teach me to write a record of merits and demerits, and I had to assess my merits before I could appoint people? Now you have private demands outside other laws, so which word should I listen to? " Shen Buhai knew that he was wrong, and quickly confessed to Zhao Hou (saying that Shen Buhai was testing Han Zhaohou).
In the 25th year of Han Zhaohou (338 BC), there was a drought in South Korea, and a tall gate was built in South Korea. Dr. Chu Qu Yijiu said, "Han Zhaohou will never walk out of this door. Why? Because it is out of date. When I say time, I don't mean time. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Han Zhaohou was in a favorable period in the past, and no tall gates were built. Last year, Qin Jun occupied Yiyang, and this year, there was a severe drought. Han Zhaohou did not sympathize with the people's difficulties at this time, but was even more presumptuous. This is called' time goes by and behavior is extravagant'. "
In the twenty-sixth year of Han Zhaohou (337 BC, one died in 333 BC), when the tall gate was completed, Han Zhaohou died, and he did not walk out of the gate.
