Lin Xiangru admitted that he had always underestimated his own king.

"Fortunately, the commander of the Qin State is Wang Di, if it is Bai Qi, I am afraid that the king will miss it." Lin Xiangru shuddered in his heart.

If people are slaughtered, I am afraid that there will not be a few people left in the army of more than 400,000 people in Zhao State.

At that time, it will not be a question of how to shake the pot, but how to make up the pot.

"I want to ask Mr. for one thing." Zhao Kuo bowed and said.

"What?" Lin Xiangru decided to help Zhao Kuo with all his might.

How King Zhao dumped the pot was his business, and he couldn't watch Zhao Guoerlang send him to death.

"Please sir raise food and grass for me." Zhao Kuo said.

"Zhao Guo has no food and grass." Lin Xiangru sighed, the wrinkles on his face piled together.

As the secretary of Zhao State, how could he not know that there was a shortage of food on the front line, but Zhao Guo really had no food and grass.

If the grain is forcibly requisitioned again, there is no need for the Qin State to fight, and the Zhao State itself will be destroyed.

"The people have no food or grass. But the ministers of the court, the nobles, and ...... Great king, there is grain and grass. Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

King Zhao is the biggest nobleman in Zhao State.

"Do you want the king and nobles to donate grain and grass? That's impossible. Lin Xiangru shook his head resolutely.

He grew up watching King Zhao, can he still understand King Zhao?

Trying to get him to dig out of the inner library is harder than cutting meat.

And the nobles, none of them will donate grain and grass unless the knife is on their necks.

"Sir, don't worry, I have already met the king, and the king agreed to take the lead in donating grain and grass. In addition, Pinghara-kun also promised me that he would convince the nobles in the country, and the gentleman only had to convince the ministers of the court and the central government except the nobles. Zhao Kuo said calmly.

Most of the ministers of Zhao were nobles, but some were talents from poor families like Lin Xiangru or other countries who had taken refuge in Zhao.

Most of these people don't have any property, and it's best to convince them.

"Really?" Lin Xiangru was unbelievable.

He couldn't understand how this young man, who was less than twenty years old, managed to convince King Zhao and Plains King Zhao Sheng.

Could it be that in addition to being familiar with military books, he also has eloquence beyond ordinary people?

"When the time comes, the gentleman only needs to cooperate with the king." Zhao Kuo nodded firmly.

"In that case, then the minister of the DPRK and China will leave it to me to convince me." Lin Xiangru said.

Convince others that he is still sure.

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Kuo bowed deeply, this is the most sincere one.

Then, the two talked for another half hour.

Zhao Kuo got up and left, and Lin Xiangru sent him outside the door.

After returning home, Zhao Kuo prepared some gifts, went out again, and took Liu Ping and Ben to visit Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.

Zhao Sheng is the uncle of the current King of Zhao and the younger brother of the former king, and his status in the Zhao State is very unusual.

Along the way, Liu Ping kept telling Zhao Kuo about what Pingyuanjun had done in the past.

"Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng cherishes his reputation very much, you should have heard of Pingyuan Jun's killing of his concubine, he originally looked down on that cripple in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously at all. Later, because more than half of the doormen left one after another, after he learned the reason, he did not hesitate to kill his concubine. ”

"Because of this incident, his reputation has become very big, and he is on the same level as Wei Guoxin Lingjun, Chu Guochun Shenjun, and Qi State Meng Weijun."

"In his heart, reputation is more important than anything, when the old lord had been an official who collected land taxes for a period of time, and when they collected their family taxes, their family refused to pay taxes, and the old lord disposed of them according to the law and killed nine stewards in Pingyuan Jun's family."

"The Plains King was very angry and wanted to kill the old lord. The old lord persuaded that only when the state of Zhao was stronger could your reputation be greater and more respected, he released the old lord and recommended him as an official. ”

Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect the famous Four Sons of the Warring States to be such a person.

Liu Ping's words completely shattered the glorious image of the four princes of the Warring States in his mind.

"By the way, Pingyuan-jun doesn't like people with great reputations, and the lord's current reputation is about to catch up with him, I'm afraid he will embarrass you." Liu Ping said again.

"It's all a good thing done by the Qin State." Zhao Kuo said in his heart.

"I see, is there anything else?" Zhao Kuo asked.

It is far more difficult to convince Pingyuanjun than to convince Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru was born as a guest, not a nobleman of Zhao State, and his family had limited money and food, so even if he took it all out, he didn't have much.

But Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is different, he is the royal family of Zhao and the uncle of King Zhao.

There are thousands of diners in the house alone, and Mei Ji is even more hundreds.

There are countless gold, silver and jewels in the beautiful fields and ponds, and the grain is piled up.

It's easier said than done to get him to donate.

The purpose of Zhao Kuo's trip was not only to get him to contribute food, but also to let him help persuade other Zhao nobles to contribute food.

It's even harder.

"If the Lord wants to convince the Plains King, he must exaggerate the crisis of the Zhao Kingdom, he is a virtuous man, and he understands the truth that there are eggs under the nest. Then tell him that he can gain a very big reputation by helping Zhao Guo through the crisis, and Pingyuan Jun will willingly help Zhao Guo. ”

"Where does the crisis of Zhao need to be exaggerated." Zhao Kuo smiled in his heart and didn't explain.

Just said, "I see." ”

In this world, I'm afraid that except for him and Bai Qi, everyone will not believe that Zhao Guo will lose so badly next.

……

By the time Zhao Kuo arrived at Pingyuanjun's mansion, Pingyuanjun was already standing in front of the door waiting.

Pingyuan Jun was very tall, wearing a crown of idle clouds, wearing a splendid Xuanyao red robe, a gentleman's jade pendant around his waist, and a sword, surrounded by dozens of people.

Standing in the crowd is very conspicuous.

"Meet the Plains." Zhao Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.

To Zhao Kuo's surprise, Pingyuanjun did not embarrass him, but held his hand very intimately.

"This is my Zhao family's unicorn."

Hirahara-kun said happily and introduced him to the guests.

The guests greeted him warmly, and there were many compliments.

In this day and age, fame can be eaten.

People with high fame travel around the world, not only have people to take care of food and housing, but also arrange concubines to warm their beds.

Thanks to the blessing of the Qin Kingdom, Zhao Kuo's reputation has surpassed that of everyone present except for Pingyuan Jun.

The Plains Mansion is very large, passing through rockeries and flowing water, crossing several small bridges, passing through pavilions and pavilions, and finally arriving at the living room.

Pingyuanjun kept holding Zhao Kuo's hand and entering the banquet before parting, which made Zhao Kuo a little flattered.

Maybe it's because of Zhao Kuo's reputation now, or maybe it's because Pingyuanjun values Zhao Kuo, or maybe it's because Pingyuanjun knows that Zhao Kuo is about to go on an expedition.

All in all, the banquet was very luxurious.

Pingyuanjun sat in the main seat, Zhao Kuo sat on the right side, and the guests sat on the left side.

Liu Ping and Ben also had seats and sat on Zhao Kuo's accompaniment.

In front of the crowd was a feast with a variety of meats and fruits.

Waitresses kept bringing new dishes and removing leftover plates.

Due to the presence of Reiki, the fruits of this world are even sweeter and more delicious.

In order to better preserve these fruits, the aristocracy specially invented ice cellars.

Save ice cubes in the winter and save them for the summer.

You can also put the fruit in the ice cellar town and take it out when you want to eat it.

The meat is also more delicious.

A tiger with an inner spirit is prepared into a variety of delicacies by a chef who is proficient in cooking.

The milky white tiger soup is fragrant and the meat is delicious, which makes people want to stop.

Everyone ate delicious food, drank fine wine, and talked about national affairs.

It has the feeling of pointing out the country and inspiring the words.

The melodious sound of the piano was heard, and the musicians began to play the music.

A team of beautiful women dressed in light gauze walked into the hall and danced, graceful and graceful, and their eyes were looking forward to flying and seductive.

On a whim, guests can also go up and dance with Mei Ji in their arms.

Everyone won't mind, but will clap their hands and call it true temperament.

If Hirahara-kun is happy, he will also reward Mei Ji to him.
