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

He survived the most difficult winter, but fell in the spring when all things revived. In the season when all living things regained their vitality, he truly bid farewell to this world. On that day, there were many people who went to see Mr. Lin. King Zhao personally brought his ministers to mourn, and King Zhao cried very sadly. Lin Xiangru was a kind of pride to the ministers of Zhao. His former feats have been spread among the people until now.

The thin, unadulterated old man lay quietly, his eyes closed tightly, his brows frowned, with an unknown worry.

Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, why are you still worried about what happened in the end?

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

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

The rewards of King Zhao were still very generous. The cart carried gold and silk and other items slowly drove 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 cart enter because the roads in the township of the horse suit could not accommodate such a large cart, and the cart could not turn around in the horse suit. Zhao Kuo did not come back. In desperation, the prison gate could only ask Zhao Kuo's disciples to help move the rewards of King Zhao into the courtyard.

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

Whenever Xun carried a large bag of millet and walked towards the courtyard with difficulty, Di would carry two bags on his back, then walked around Xun, winking at him, pretending to be kind to ask him if he wanted to help. Xun was so angry that he almost smashed the bag on his head. Wang Fan was injured in the war and could not carry it, so he stood at the door, responsible for directing everyone to carry it. Di, who was also injured, could easily carry two large bags of millet.

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

The young man was riding a horse, dressed in extraordinary clothes, but looked a little tired. When he arrived at the gate of the Mafu Township, he happened to see this scene of being busy. He curiously watched everyone carrying supplies. He turned over and dismounted the horse, and carefully walked around the carriage with his horse, and came to Wang Fan who was commanding, and paid homage to him. He asked, "Is this Mafu Township?"

Wang Fan turned his head and looked at the young man. The young man looked very honest, just like the kind of appearance that easily makes people put aside their guard. Wang Fan quickly replied and said, "This is the town of Mafu. I wonder where the guests came from? What's the matter?"

"I came from South Korea to pay homage to Ma Fujun. I came to ask... to study." The young man was a little nervous. When he was nervous, his words became even more unscrupulous. However, Wang Fan did not make any mistakes because of his stuttering. He smiled and said, "I am Ma Fujun's disciple. Ma Fujun is still in Handan and will be back soon." The young man sighed and gave a breath.

Wang Fan looked at him suspiciously, and the young man said, "I...I haven't been to Zhao State... I've been lost several times." Then, the young man talked about his sad history. He has liked to travel around since he was a child, but there is one thing that he can't remember the road. It's okay on weekdays, but if there is a driver driving, he doesn't need him to remember the road, but after traveling alone, it's very troublesome.

He had never been to Zhao State. This time, in order to arrive at Zhao State, he prepared everything and walked north along the road. As he walked, he felt something was wrong. Why was there no one on the way? Finally, he saw a few people. The young man rode his horse and was about to ask if it was a horse suit. The officials surrounded him with cold faces, and spoke Qin language and asked him to verify the transmission. The young man was stunned.

After learning that he was a nobleman who was studying, the patrolling Qin officials did not make things difficult for him. They pointed out the way for him to leave. When the young man thanked him, the officials were still warned him from behind not to follow this road, otherwise you would be arrested as a spy when you walked to Hangu Pass! The young man finally found this place after suffering.

Wang Fan wanted to laugh, but the nobles could not laugh at the nobles. This would make the other party feel ashamed and trigger a duel.

The young man didn't care. He looked at Wang Fan's face and said seriously: "You don't have to bear it. Just laugh if you want to." Wang Fan laughed loudly and almost tore open the wound. He looked at the kind young man in front of him and said: "Did you see the strong barbarian over there? Don't tell him about this."

"For...why?"

"Don't ask more, believe me."

The young man nodded seriously, and soon he joined the ranks of helping Ma Fujun transport supplies. The guests looked at him curiously. Sure enough, Di quickly found him and asked about his identity with a smile. After Han Fei arrived in Zhao, the situation in Zhao State disappointed him. He walked along the way and saw that the people were working hard, but he did not urge them or lead their officials.

Along the way, he occasionally stayed overnight and heard complaints from the people. The officials seized oxen. These oxen were to lend to the people during the plowing season, but the officials do not lend it now. The people can only obtain oxen through bribery. Those poor people cannot bribe them, but they can only let their wives and daughters serve the officials, so that they can get seeds, oxen, and farm tools.

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

However, the administration of South Korea is not much better, and Han Fei has long been used to it.

When they arrived near the horse suit, the situation finally improved. At least the officials did not dare to humiliate the people openly. After arriving in the horse suit, the people could finally hear laughter in the plowing land around the horse suit. They had enough oxen and seeds. The officials were also in the plowing land. Whenever someone passed by, they would work pretentiously, hoping that this passerby was a friend of Ma Fujun and could support themselves.

King Zhao's rewards were very generous. It seemed that Ma Fujun was generous on weekdays. These guests did not complain, but instead helped transport them with laughter. It can be seen that Ma Fujun's rewards should also be distributed to them on weekdays, otherwise they would not be so happy. Han Fei thought in his heart, and Ma Fujun's disciples did not seem to have a good background, but most of them were talented.

Whenever he heard them chatting about war, Han Fei was a little surprised.

News came from Handan that Lin Xiangru passed away and Ma Fujun could not come back in the short term. Everyone sighed and looked very depressed. Han Fei had only heard of Lin Xiangru's name and did not know much about him. Di told Han Fei a little exaggeratedly about Lin Xiangru's deeds. Han Fei was excited and immediately joined the depressed army. Zhao Kuo could not come back earlier, so Han Fei decided to take this opportunity to investigate Ma Fu and see what kind of person Ma Fujun was.

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

Han Fei carefully observed Zhao's mother. When Zhao's mother faced so many rewards, she was not happy or angry. She was a little confused. Why did Zhao Kuo not distribute the rewards to the soldiers again, but instead took them back to their homes. Fortunately, Wang Fan explained: Maybe it was because of Lin Xiangru's death that Ma Fujun had no time to deal with these matters, so he temporarily existed in the mansion. Han Fei nodded. It seemed that Ma Fujun did not love money and would be distributed to soldiers on weekdays.

Then, Han Fei's target was on Zhao Kuo's disciples.

There were all kinds of people among Zhao Kuo’s disciples, but most of them were kind and never bullied the people. Instead, they had a very close relationship with the villagers. Sometimes, they simply ate at their homes, and the villagers were happy to entertain them. Han Fei even saw that they helped these people farm. This surprised Han Fei. He had never heard of any disciple who would farm in the dirty soil. Isn’t this an insult to the disciples?

Wang Fan told him that when Ma Fujun was there, he went to the ground in person, and even the honor of Ma Fujun could do this. Why can't they?

Han Fei's eyes gradually became brighter.

The final goal is the people in the horse costume. The villagers have a different kind of respect for Zhao Kuo. When the rewarded items cannot be put down, the guests choose to store them temporarily at the neighbor's house. Ma Fujun's neighbor is an ordinary old man. He always likes to use mulberry sticks to bless others. His youngest son has just returned from the battlefield. The old man is very happy. He heard that the guests wanted to store things in him, so he immediately agreed and even wanted to help carry them himself.

Han Fei came along the way and heard the praise and admiration of Zhao Kuo by the people.

From a moral perspective, this Ma Fujun is really unparalleled, but does he have any medicine to govern the world?

Han Fei was thinking secretly.

Zhao Kuo stayed in Handan for a long time and accompanied Mr. Lin for a while. He said goodbye to many of his friends. He just rushed to the horse suit with his guests. Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Kuo was still in a bad mood. He was taciturn. Ge, Li Yu, and Zhao Fu did not speak. In an atmosphere of silence, they rushed back to the horse suit. On the way, they also saw the horse suit returning to Handan.

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

Looking at the piles of grain and cloth in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time. He was not happy with these rewards. He just frowned and his face became more and more ugly. After a moment, he walked through the grain mountain angrily and walked directly into the inner room. The guests looked at each other, and Di was confused and asked everyone: "Why does the head of the family look so angry when he received such a generous reward?"

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

"Of course I remember that Handan replied that there was no food..." Di was stunned suddenly, and then he looked at the reward in front of him angrily, saying, "It turns out they are lying!!" Di gritted his teeth, looked at Li Yu on the side, and asked, "But why do they do this?" Li Yu shook his head and said without saying anything. Instead, Ge sneered and said, "How can the carnivore's idea be understood by us lowly people?"

After a day off, Zhao Kuo summoned his disciples and asked, "I am going to exchange these rewards for seeds and agricultural tools to distribute them to soldiers from all over Zhao State. What do Ersanzi think?"

Most of the guests agreed. Li Yu stood up and said, "You can exchange millet and wheat for poultry to distribute it to these soldiers." Zhao Kuo smiled. Li Yu said it was right. The food could be eaten sooner or later, but poultry could lay eggs and reproduce continuously. Zhao Kuo looked at Ming. Ming was the only servant under Zhao Kuo who had worked in the business industry. When Zhao Kuo said he wanted to change seeds and farm tools, he was already thinking about this matter.

Noting Zhao Kuo's eyes, he stood up and said seriously: "Either seeds or farm tools are very precious and not easy to buy. However, there are many noble people in China, and noble people do not lack these, so they can exchange them. They know that I am your guest, so they will not make things difficult for me." Mingdun said, "As for poultry, it is very difficult. Noble people don't like to raise poultry. Only the people's homes will raise them. They take the food from the people's homes and distribute them to other people. This..."

Zhao Kuo sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "If I found a place, bought some young poultry, and sent someone to carry it to cover, 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 merchant, but he never raised poultry. How could he know if he could raise it? Fortunately, he suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "I used to be in the mountains... I raised poultry, but only hundreds of poultry. After two years, it had exceeded a thousand. If it weren't for eating it on a large scale, I'd be afraid there would be more."

"But why are you so concerned about poultry?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Poultry does not need to be fed like cattle and sheep. They eat less. Ordinary people can feed them. They reproductive quickly and chickens can be eaten. In the event of disaster, they can prevent the people from eating bark... Besides, I heard that poultry can resist locust plagues."

Everyone was shocked. The locust plague at this moment was definitely a major man-made disaster. No matter which country it was, it would be a great headache to encounter locust plague. That is, the powerful Qin State was helpless when encountering locust plague. It could only order people from all over the country to donate food and use this food to help the affected areas. Those who donate food could be promoted or received other rewards, such as exempting from several wars.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, everyone was shocked. Li Yu jumped up and stared at Zhao Kuo, asking rudely: "Is the head of the family really saying?"

Zhao Kuo nodded.

Li Yu realized his misconduct and hurriedly sat down. When everyone talked, they seemed particularly excited. The poultry topic that no one cared about at first 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, but everyone left, but Li Yu stayed. He looked a little uneasy and sat in front of Zhao Kuo.

"The head of the family, no one in the world knows that poultry can prevent locust plagues. If Di Lai was asked to handle this matter, it would definitely spread quickly..."

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I asked Di Lai to handle this."

"But countries like Qin that are hostile to Zhao will also adopt your method..."

"Yes, this is a good thing... Think about it, how many people can save the country." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

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