Although Lin Xiangru did not need to kill Pingyuanjun, he did not need to reconcile with Pingyuanjun.

So just like Pingyuan Jun handed over 15% of the ginseng share to Zhao Kuo in order to seek peace, Zhao Kuo also had to pay a certain amount of benefits to allow Lin Xiangru to leave Han Xuwei in this war where there was no smoke of gunpowder.

Zhao Kuo was naturally mentally prepared for this and immediately spoke: "As long as Wen Xinjun is willing to stop, then after Wen Xinjun dies, this marquis can protect the Lin clan."

Lin Xiangru is already very old.

Although there is no specific record of the time when Lin Xiangru died in history books, no books have recorded Lin Xiangru's activities since the Battle of Changping, which means that Lin Xiangru should have died almost during this period.

Now four years have passed since the Battle of Changping. From this perspective, Lin Xiangru is obviously nearing.

When people are about to die of old age, the ones they value most are undoubtedly their descendants.

So, this is definitely a very, very important bargaining chip.

As for integrity... people who have reached the position of Zhao Kuo must keep their trust when they say something, otherwise they will be despised by the entire society in the future.

A real man's words are said, but he is hard to pursue! Lin Xiangru's expression has indeed changed and he has become much more serious.

After a while, Lin Xiangru said, "I am not without friends."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "How many years is Wu Xiangjun (Liang Po) older than Wen Xinjun."

Zhao Kuo is only 28 years old this year and is able to protect the Lin family for at least 30 years or even longer.

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and said slowly: "Where is Zhou Qing?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Zhou Qing and Wen Xinjun are just political allies. Does Wen Xinjun really think that Zhou Qing will be so kind and righteous?

Only the promises like this of this Hou can do it.”

According to Zhao Kuo's knowledge, although Lin Xiangru was a famous wise minister, his sons were actually not outstanding in talent. The eldest son is now a city guard in Jiuyuan County, and his future career development is obviously far inferior to Lin Xiangru.

Therefore, Lin needs help.

Lin Xiangru smiled bitterly and looked at Zhao Kuo with some helplessness: "Does Wu Xinjun want to win over me?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Who doesn't want to win over Wen Xinjun on his side?

Besides, this promise from this Hou will not affect the future disputes and even quarrels between you and me on the political affairs of Da Zhao, will it?"

Lin Xiangru said seriously: "That's nature.

I want to tell Wu Xinjun that even if I promised you, I will not be able to accommodate you in any military and national affairs in the future.”

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "That's what it should be."

Lin Xiangru laughed: "Since that's the case, then I'll agree to Wu Xinjun's condition.

But Wu Xinjun, I need other conditions to convince others, so Wu Xinjun should be able to understand.”

Although Lin Xiangru was the leader of the Scholars, he was not the only one among the Scholars.

Zhao Kuo’s condition to “protect Lin’s family” is naturally unanimous for Lin Xiangru, but what does this have to do with Lian Po, Zhou Shaofen and even the middle and high-level officials of other scholars?

Zhao Kuo said: "The profit of semi-adult ginseng."

Even though Lin Xiangru had been in the officialdom for many years, he couldn't help but feel shocked at this moment. He looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise: "Wu Xinjun's words are serious?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Of course, take it seriously.

But you have to make it clear first, this is half for you, Wen Xinjun, and as for how to distribute it is your business, I don’t care.”

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Pingyuan Jun... is really a big deal."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said nothing.

If Zhao Kuo could only use half of the achievements to solve this matter, Zhao Kuo himself would make 10% of the money, which would also be a big profit.

After all, this is a complete ginseng business! Lin Xiangru thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm not hiding it from Wu Xinjun, saying that if it's other conditions, I might have to think about it a little bit, and discuss it with Wu Xiangjun and Zhou Qing.

But Wu Xinjun's condition... I think there should be no need to discuss it.

I can promise you on behalf of everyone on my side that from today, the people on my side will no longer participate in any attack on Pingyuan Jun’s lineage.”

Is the semi-component profit of ginseng high?

Very high.

Just from the books taken out by Han Xuwei before, we can intuitively give Lin Xiangru and other important officials of Zhao State who had no specific concept of ginseng sales.

Zhao Kuo gave too much.

Zhao Kuo's heart fell to the ground and said with a smile: "That Marquis is here to thank Wen Xinjun for his tolerance."

The two talked for a while before they all parted.

After Zhao Kuo left, two more figures appeared in the study, which were Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen.

Zhou Shao laughed and said, "Wen Xinjun is indeed a magic trick. When he heard that Wu Xinjun arrived, he knew that there was a happy event. Zhou admired him."

It was also the first time Lian Po smiled: "The profit of half a ginseng is, Zhao Kuo is really proud to take action.

By the way, we really want to stop at Pingyuanjun?"

Lin Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "That's natural.

Although Pingyuan Jun has been against us for many years, his power has been greatly reduced and has been suppressed by us.

If we put Pingyuan Jun to death at this time, the real benefit is the Grand Master.

Instead of doing this, it is better to keep Pingyuan Jun and continue to fight with the Grand Master. We can also sit by and watch and digest the previous achievements with peace of mind."

Although Han Xuwei stood aside with Lin Xiangru's scholars in many previous incidents, the two sides were only a temporary cooperative relationship after all, not political allies like Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen.

Zhou Shaofen said: "Even if we are willing to let Mr. Pingyuan go, as long as the Empress Dowager does not let go, it will still be impossible to solve it.

Wen Xinjun, do you think Wu Xinjun can convince the Empress Dowager?”

Lin Xiangru hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "This matter...is probably very difficult.

The Empress Dowager was not just guarding against Pingyuan Jun, but Wu Xinjun was also guarded by the Empress Dowager."

Lian Po said in a muffled voice: "If the Empress Dowager rejects Wu Xinjun's proposal, then wouldn't the deal we reached with Wu Xinjun be useless?"

Lin Xiangru laughed and said, "So, I hope Wu Xinjun can really convince the Empress Dowager."

Later that day, Zhao Kuo's carriage drove into the palace city.

Looking at the Zhao eunuch who came up to him, Zhao Kuo smiled.
