Chapter 45 [High Standard Sycophants]

Before dark, all the people and horses who went to hunt returned to the main camp one after another, and reported to King Zhao what they had hunted, among which the three waves of people were the most eye-catching, Pingyang Jun Zhao Leopard hunted countless small beasts and an 800-pound wild boar; Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also harvested a brown bear and an elk; Prince Zhao Dan hunted two brown bears and a leopard, which was the first of the hunting.

Zhao Kuo looked at the prey that was carried up with wide eyes, and secretly thought that if Zhao Sheng and Zhao Leopard didn't play tricks, the prey was really obtained in the mountains, and there were really materials in the mountains for this horse suit! I also went back to catch a wild boar and tasted it, and I heard that the wild boar is very fragrant.

King Zhao never thought that Zhao Dan would hunt three large beasts, which made him feel very relieved, and after thinking about it, he understood the reason, Prince Zhao Dan's bow and horse kung fu King Zhao knew very well, it seems that the credit for this hunt is Zhao Kuo's, and only Zhao Kuo, who is outstanding in martial arts, can hunt so many large beasts. Although King Zhao didn't guess correctly, it was not much different.

King Zhao praised Zhao Dan in front of everyone, the prince's face is still to be helped by his father, and Zhao Kuo should serve the prince as a courtier, if the monarch and the minister get along, it doesn't matter whose credit it is, but King Zhao still gave Zhao Kuo a special look, indicating that he already knew the general situation of the matter.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback by King Zhao's eyes, and thought that the deception was a goof, and after waiting for a while, he saw that King Zhao had no special instructions, and still put on a hat with pheasant tail feathers that symbolized honor to Zhao Dan according to tradition, so he could rest assured, if King Zhao felt that he was a scheming and clever person, it would be very bad.

After the reward is a grand bonfire dinner, King Zhao Wuling launched the Hufu riding and shooting at the same time, but also integrated the Hu people's rough and fierce cultural connotation, men around the lit bonfire to drink wine and eat meat, women around the bonfire singing and dancing, the atmosphere is very warm, in which you want to be lively or not.

Zhao Dan has already drunk an urn of wine, today is his day, the recent period is the most happy today, King Zhao's praise made him fluttering, from King Zhao's eyes he saw a father's appreciation of his son, these reasons prompted him to drink in a big bowl, eat meat in large pieces, and at the same time did not forget Zhao Kuo, who had the strength, pulled Zhao Kuo to drink with him and have fun.

Zhao Kuo accompanied Zhao Dan to eat and drink for a while and then left, he still had extremely important things to do, which was related to the hard preparation of the past few months, and he couldn't be sloppy at all.

"Second son, when will it be released?" Mao Sui saw Zhao Kuo walking into the tent, got up and asked, "Fireflies like firelight like moths, and they have died a lot, can you complete that pattern?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Those fireflies have been hungry for so long, and they can't fill their stomachs once they are released!" You go and release all the fireflies now, and remember, keep your hands and feet clean, and don't let people see the flaws. Zhao Kuo said this, he was actually very nervous in his heart, if he didn't have a good start, the next plan would be even more difficult to implement.

Zhao Kuo stared at Mafu Mountain with a hanging heart, and his heart did not let go until the expected scene appeared on the mountain.

"Oh my God! What is that? Look at ....... ”

As a woman screamed, more and more people's eyes were attracted by the vision on Mafu Mountain, and no one said a word except for the crackling sound of the bonfire.

A large area of fluorescent light appeared on Mafu Mountain, the blue light gathered together with a circle of three zhang, just like a huge moon appeared on the mountain, slowly, the fluorescent light began to change, with the surge of fluorescent light, formed a big Zhao character, the scene was spectacular.

Things soon alarmed King Zhao, King Zhao has lived for so many years and has never seen such a strange scene, I can't help but watch it with relish, no need to be reminded by Zhao Kuo, those who like to pat on the back have sung praises for King Zhao, and in a few words, King Zhao was praised as refreshed, eyebrows and smiles, and really think that he has won the three emperors and five emperors, and is the first emperor of the ages.

Zhao Sheng looked at the strange scene on Mafu Mountain, felt a little incredible, and immediately ordered his henchmen to go up the mountain to check out. Zhao Bao didn't have so many ideas, but he cooperated with Zhao Kuo a little, and came to King Zhao and said: "King, such an auspicious appearance is the blessing of Zhao, the ancients have clouds, the sky is auspicious, and the earth must respond. (Exclusive work, please indicate if it is illegally reprinted)

Zhao Kuo really wanted to thank Zhao Bao well, and he was still thinking about what to say! Everything he wanted to say was said by Zhao Bao, and he immediately echoed: "King Wu is cutting down, and the carp is on his boat, and the sky is so auspicious, which proves that the great Zhao country is prosperous and prosperous, and the king is the ...... of the chosen one." ”

King Zhao felt that the bones of his body were bubbling with a cool breeze at this time, and he was very comfortable, especially Zhao Kuo's words made him useful, comparing him to the martial king of the war, then how could he create the immortal foundation of King Wen and King Wu, so that the level of sycophants is much stronger than those straightforward touts.

Zhao Kuo looked left and right, people's reactions showed that his momentum was successful, as long as he hurried up to make the paper in the past two days, everything would be complete, looking at the Zhao character composed of fireflies on the hillside becoming clearer and clearer, the corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth also curled.

After Mao Sui completed the task, he came to Zhao Kuo's side and said in a low voice: "Second son, someone went up the mountain to spy on us, fortunately we transferred quickly, otherwise we would have been exposed." ”

Zhao Kuo sighed and said: "It's good that there is no problem, even if they find traces of man-made on the ground afterwards, it doesn't matter, the main things have been eaten by fireflies, even if they are suspicious, they can't come up with evidence, and who dares to go against King Zhao at this time!" ”

Mao Sui smiled and said: "The second son is really calculating, even if someone knows that we made it, he doesn't dare to say it, if he dares to bring it up, King Zhao is the first to not agree, it's really clever!" Mao Sui admired Zhao Kuo's hand and threw himself to the ground.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the back mountain to see if the powder has been formed, such a good situation, don't waste it." Zhao Kuo said and rode to the back mountain with Mao Sui, and more than a dozen houses were built in the hidden place behind the mountain, and the houses were lined with large pottery jars, which were soaked in lotus roots and water chestnuts.

Zhao Kuo asked Mao Sui to turn on the lamp, took a stick and stirred it in the pottery jar, and found that half a jar of muddy starch had been deposited in the jar, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Sir, tomorrow we will take out all the white powder in the tank, and if the weather is good, all of them will be dried, these powders are estimated to be able to last us for a year, and the paper mill will definitely expand next year, and I will have to make Mr. work hard at that time." Zhao Kuo said: "The matter of the powder must be kept confidential, this year is too hasty, and when it is purchased next year, when it is transported, we must be more careful." ”

Mao Sui nodded yes and said: "Second son, don't worry, even this time I also came back, lotus root and water chestnut are purchased separately, and warn the locals that if it leaks out, it will not be purchased in the future, and I will be more careful next year, and at the same time increase the amount of purchase, hoard the dosage for three or five years, and I will not worry about the secret of the powder leaking out." ”

Mao Sui's ability makes Zhao Kuo appreciate it very much, if there are a few more helpers like Mao Sui, he doesn't have to do everything himself, and the time saved is enough for him to be happy, in short, it's still that sentence, no matter what century it is, talent is always the most expensive, where to find a few decent talents? Zhao Kuo felt that this was a very acute question.
