The news of Lin Xiangru's death made Zhao Kuo's body cold, and his mind was blank and at a loss.

He survived the harshest winter, but he fell in the spring when all things recovered, and in the season when all living beings regained their vitality, he truly said goodbye to this world. On that day, there were many people who went to bid farewell to Duke Lin, and King Zhao personally took his ministers to mourn, and King Zhao cried very sadly. Lin Xiangru is a kind of pride for the ministers of Zhao State, and his feats have been passed down among the people until now.

The thin, inhuman-shaped old man lay quietly, his eyes closed, his brow furrowed, and an unknown concern.

Lin Gong, Lin Gong, what are you still worried about in the end?

After Lin Gong's burial, Zhao Kuo knelt in front of his grave and sat for a long time.

............

King Zhao's reward was still very rich, the cart carrying gold silk and other things, slowly driving towards the horse suit, these carts completely blocked the road, after arriving at the horse suit, the prison gate did not dare to let the carriage in, because the road in the horse service township, there was no room for such a big carriage, and the carriage could not turn around in the horse suit. Zhao Kuo did not come back, and the prison gate had no choice but to let Zhao Kuo's doormen help move King Zhao's reward into the courtyard.

For a while, the gate of Mafu Township was particularly lively, and everyone was carrying rewards back and forth.

Whenever Xing carried a big bag of millet and walked to the courtyard with difficulty, Di would carry two bags on his back, and then walk around Xing, squeezing his eyebrows at him, pretending to be kind enough to ask him if he wanted to help, and Xing Qi almost smashed the bag on his head. Wang Fan was injured in the battle and could not carry it, so he stood at the door and was responsible for directing everyone to carry it.

When Wang Fan was dispatching the carriage and commanding the manpower, a dusty young man came here.

The young man rode a steed, dressed in extraordinary clothes, but looked a little tired. When he came to the gate of Mafu Township, he happened to see this scene in full swing, and he watched curiously as everyone carried supplies. Turned over and dismounted, led the horse carefully around the carriage, came to Wang Fan, who was commanding, saluted him, and asked: "Here.. Village.. Is it a horse service township? ”

Wang Fan turned his head and looked at the young man, the young man looked very honest, it was the kind of appearance that was easy to let people let down their guard, Wang Fan hurriedly returned the salute, and then said: "This is the Mafu Township, I don't know where the guests came from?" What's the matter? ”

"I... I came from Korea to meet Ma... Ma Fujun's, I'll beg for it.. Beg.. Study. The young man was a little nervous, and as soon as he was nervous, his words became even more unfavorable, but Wang Fan did not have anything unusual because of his stuttering, he said with a smile: "I am Ma Fujun's doorman, Ma Fujun is still in Handan, and he will be able to come back soon." The young man let out a long sigh and let out a sigh of relief.

Wang Fan looked at him with some suspicion, and the young man said, "I.. I have never been to Zhao State... Several degrees of fascination.. Lost..", then, the young man talked about his sad history, he has liked to travel all over the world since he was a child, but there is one point, he always can't remember the road, on weekdays, there is a driver driving, and he doesn't need him to remember the road, but after traveling alone, it is very troublesome.

He had never been to Zhao State, this time in order to rush to Zhao Kingdom, he prepared everything, and went north along the road, walking, but he felt that something was wrong, why was there no one on this road? Finally saw a few people, the young man rode his horse, and was about to ask if this was a horse suit, but the officials surrounded him with a cold face, spoke Qin language, and asked him to test the transmission, and the young man was immediately stupid.

After learning that he was a nobleman who was studying, the Qin officials who patrolled did not embarrass him, showed him the way, and then let him leave. When the young man thanked him and left, the officials were still in the rear to warn him, don't go down this road any further, otherwise you will be arrested as a spy when you go to Hangu Pass! The young man has worked hard to finally find this place.

Wang Fan wanted to laugh, but the nobles couldn't laugh at the nobles, it would make the other party feel humiliated and lead to a duel.

The young man didn't care, he looked at Wang Fan's face, and said seriously: "You don't have to endure it, just laugh if you want to." Wang Fan laughed loudly, almost tore the wound open again, he looked at the kind young man in front of him, and said, "Do you see that sturdy barbarian over there?" Don't tell him about it. ”

"For. Why? ”

"Don't ask, trust me."

The young man nodded seriously, and soon, he also joined the ranks of helping Ma Fujun carry the materials, and the doormen looked at him with some curiosity, and sure enough, Di soon found him and asked about his identity with a smile. After Han Fei arrived in Zhao State, the situation in Zhao State made him a little disappointed, he went all the way and saw that the people were all working, but he did not urge them, or the officials who led them.

Along the way, he occasionally stayed overnight, and all he heard was the complaints of the people, the officials seized the ploughing cattle, which were to be lent to the people during the ploughing season, but the officials did not borrow them now, and the people could only get the ploughing cattle by bribing them, and the poor people, who could not bribe, could only let their wives and daughters serve the officials, so that they could get seeds, ploughing cattle, and farm tools.

Han Fei felt that the officials of Zhao State were simply inferior to beasts.

However, South Korea's government is not much better, and Han Fei has long been used to it.

When rushing to the vicinity of Mafu, the situation finally improved, at least the officials did not dare to bully the people in the open, and after arriving at Mafu, in the cultivated land around Mafu, the laughter of the people could finally be heard, they had plenty of ploughing cattle and seeds, and the officials were also in the ploughing land.

King Zhao's reward is very rich, it seems that Ma Fujun is very generous on weekdays, these guests did not complain, but there were talking and laughing to help carry it, it can be seen that Ma Fujun's rewards on weekdays should also be distributed to them, otherwise, they would not be so happy. Han Fei thought in his heart, and Ma Fujun's disciples didn't seem to have very good backgrounds, but most of them were talented.

Occasionally listening to them talk about the war, Han Fei was a little surprised.

News came from Handan that Lin Xiangru had passed away, and Ma Fujun would not be able to come back in the short term. Everyone sighed, looking very depressed, Han Fei had only heard of Lin Xiangru's name, and didn't know much about him, Di told Han Fei about Lin Xiangru's deeds a little exaggerated, Han Fei listened to it with enthusiasm, and then joined the army of frustration. Zhao Kuo couldn't come back earlier, so Han Fei decided to take this opportunity to investigate Ma Fu and see what kind of person Ma Fu Jun was.

First of all, Ma Fujun must be a very honest person, simple and simple, and does not like luxury, because Zhao Kuo's courtyard is very simple, not even as good as Han Fei's mansion in South Korea, and King Zhao's rewards are piled up in the courtyard, and there is not enough space to continue to put these rewards. Before Han Fei arrived, he had seen the mansions of several officials of the Zhao State, which were the mansions of the county order, which were much more luxurious than Zhao Kuo.

Han Fei carefully observed Zhao's mother, Zhao's mother was not happy and angry when she faced so many rewards, she didn't understand why Zhao Kuo didn't distribute the rewards to the soldiers again, but brought them back to the house, fortunately, Wang Fan explained: Maybe because of Lin Xiangru's death, Ma Fujun didn't have time to deal with these things, so he temporarily existed in the mansion. Han Fei nodded, it seems that this horse service gentleman does not love property either, and the rewards on weekdays will be distributed to the soldiers. Thirty-nine

Subsequently, Han Fei's target was on Zhao Kuo's doormen.

Among Zhao Kuo's disciples, there are all kinds of people, but most of them are very kind and never bully the people, on the contrary, they have a very close relationship with the villagers, and sometimes, they simply eat at their homes, and the villagers are also happy to entertain them, Han Fei even saw that they helped these people with farming. This surprised Han Fei, he had never heard of anyone's doorman working in the dirty soil, wasn't this an insult to the doorman?

Wang Fan told him that when Ma Fujun was there, he personally went to the ground, and the dignity of Ma Fujun could be like this, so why couldn't they?

Han Fei's eyes gradually brightened.

The final goal is the people in the horse service, the villagers have a different kind of respect for Zhao Kuo, when the reward items can not be put down, the guests choose to temporarily store in the neighbor's house, the neighbor of the horse service is an ordinary old man, he always likes to hold a mulberry staff to bless others, his youngest son has just returned from the battlefield, this old man is very happy, I heard that the guests want to store things in his place, he immediately agreed, and even wanted to help carry it himself.

Han Fei came all the way, and all he heard was the people's praise and admiration for Zhao Kuo.

From a moral point of view, this Ma Fujun is really incomparable, but does he have any medicine to govern the world?

Han Fei thought to himself.

Zhao Kuo stayed in Handan for a long time, and also accompanied Lin Gong for a period of time, before bidding farewell to many of his friends, but rushed to the horse service with the doormen, and sat in the carriage, Zhao Kuo's mood was still not very good, and he said little. Ge, Li Yu, and Zhao Fu did not speak, and in a silent atmosphere, they rushed back to Mafu, and on the way, they also saw the carriage back to Handan.

They had left all their rewards in their horses and drove back by themselves.

Looking at the mountains of grain and cloth in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time, he was not happy because of these rewards, he just frowned, his face became more and more unsightly, he looked at it for a moment, and angrily walked through the grain mountain and walked directly into the inner room. The doormen looked at each other, Di was confused, and asked everyone: "Why does the head of the family look so angry after receiving such a rich reward?" ”

Li Yu smiled, looked at him, and said, "Do you remember when the head of the family asked Handan for food?" ”

"Of course I remember, Handan replied that there was no food...", Di was suddenly stunned, and then looked at the reward in front of him angrily, and said: "It turns out that they are lying!! Di gritted his teeth, looked at Li Yu on the side, and asked, "But why did they do this?" Li Yu shook his head and didn't speak, but Ge on the side sneered and said, "How can the thoughts of meat eaters be understood by us lowly people?" ”

After resting for a day, the next day, Zhao Kuo summoned the doorman and asked: "I am going to exchange these rewards for seeds and farm tools, and distribute them to the soldiers in all parts of Zhao Kingdom, what do the second and third sons think?" ”

Most of the guests agreed, and Li Yu got up and said, "You can exchange millet and wheat for poultry and distribute them to these soldiers." Zhao Kuo smiled, Li Yu is right, the grain can be eaten sooner or later, but poultry can lay eggs and continue to reproduce. Zhao Kuo looked at Ming, Ming was the only doorman under Zhao Kuo who had been engaged in the merchant industry, and he was already thinking about it when Zhao Kuo said that he wanted to change the seed farming tools.

Noticing Zhao Kuo's gaze, he stood up and said seriously: "Whether it is seeds or farm tools, they are very precious and are not easy to buy. However, there are many nobles in the country, and the nobles do not lack these, and they can be exchanged with them. They know that I am your guest, and they will not embarrass me. Ming paused, and then said: "As for poultry, it is very difficult, and the nobles do not like to raise poultry, only the people's homes will raise it, take the grain from the people's homes, and then distribute it to other people, this...."

Zhao Kuo sighed, thought for a moment, and then said: "If I find a place, buy some young poultry, and send people to raise them in captivity, is it possible to raise a large number of poultry in a short period of time?" Ming scratched his head, he used to be a businessman, but he had never raised poultry, how did he know if he could raise it, Xing suddenly stood up, looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "Once upon a time I was in the mountains... I've raised poultry, just a few hundred, and after two years, it's more than a thousand, and if I don't eat it on a large scale, I'm afraid there will be more. ”

"But why do you care so much about poultry?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Poultry does not need to be fed like cattle and sheep, eat less, ordinary people can also feed, it reproduces quickly, chickens can also eat, in the event of a disaster, it can also let the people not gnaw on the bark... Moreover, I have heard that poultry can withstand the plague of locusts. ”

Everyone was shocked, the locust plague at this moment is definitely a major man-made disaster, no matter which country, encountering the locust plague is a great headache, that is, the powerful Qin State, when encountering the locust plague, is helpless, can only order the people everywhere to donate food, use these grains to relieve the affected areas, and those who donate food can be promoted, or get other rewards, such as exemption from several servitudes.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, everyone was shocked, Li Yu jumped up directly, stared at Zhao Kuo, and asked a little rudely: "Is what the head of the family said true?" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded.

Li Yu realized his faux pas and hurriedly sat down, and everyone talked about it, looking extremely excited. The topic of poultry, which everyone didn't care much about, suddenly became the most important thing, Di stood up and said, "Please leave this matter to me, and I will deal with it!" Zhao Kuo agreed, everyone left, but Li Yu stayed, he looked a little uneasy, and sat in front of Zhao Kuo.

"Master of the house, no one in the world knows that poultry can prevent locust plagues, if Di Lai is allowed to handle this, it will definitely spread quickly..."

"Yes, that's why I let Di Lai handle this."

"But a country like Qin, which is hostile to Zhao, will also adopt your methods..."

"yes, that's a good thing... Think about it, how many people in the nations could be saved. Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Li Yu was stunned for a long time and got up.

He bowed down towards Zhao Kuo.
