An hour later, Zhao Kuo brought Zhao Qian to Pingkangfang.

Yes, this dilapidated market actually has a name, and its name is Pingkangfang.

Unlike the last time, Zhao Kuo did not visit him in a private tour, but instead came here with Zhao Qian in a carriage and hundreds of followers.

Such a large formation undoubtedly made everyone in Pingkangfang feel in fear and trepidation, and they instantly retreated, which inevitably disappointed Zhao Qian, who had expectations in his heart.

In Zhao Qian's opinion, he came to save the people in this place, so why do the people's eyes show caution and alienation?

Zhao Kuo took all this and then calmly reminded Zhao Qian of a fact: "For them, we noble rulers have never taken them seriously."

The reason why civilians obey rule is not because they are willing to obey, but because they can only obey.

When a person is forced to accept rule, how can he expect this person to support the ruler from the bottom of his heart?

Zhao Qian's face suddenly stopped.

But after these things, the boy was no longer so easily defeated. He quickly cheered up and whispered: "It's okay, they will believe us one day."

Zhao Kuo nodded with some relief: "Let's start today."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the roadside: "They are Chiyou Army!"

The three words Chi Youjun seem to have some magic power, and instantly changed the entire atmosphere.

The road that was originally empty was suddenly empty because Zhao Kuo and others arrived, and suddenly a large group of people emerged again.

Among them are men and women, old and young, but there is no exception in everyone's eyes, and some kind of light shines.

"It's Chiyou's army, it's really Chiyou's army."

"The strongest force created by Wu Xinjun, an invincible force!"

"The King of Qi and Wei were captured, and the Kingdom of Yan and Wei were eliminated!"

"The pride of our Zhao State!"

There were even children with snots on their noses and began to cheer: "Chiyou Army, mighty!"

Zhao Qian was shocked when he saw this scene. For the first time, he had an intuitive understanding of the prestige of the troops trained by his father in the people.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene with a smile. Zhao Kuo had actually seen more similar situations, and those worships were directly directed at Zhao Kuo, not Chi You's army, so Zhao Kuo was quite used to it.

After a while, Zhao Qian suppressed the shock in his heart and said to Zhao Kuo: "Father, I didn't expect that our Chiyou army actually has such prestige among the people!"

Zhao Kuo smiled faintly and asked Zhao Qian a question: "Do you think Chiyou Army has such prestige?"

This question kept Zhao Qian from asking.

After a while, Zhao Qian said, "Is it because of victory?"

Zhao Qian originally thought the answer should not be that simple, but he never expected that the answer was really that simple.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes, of course it's because of victory.

Because the Chiyou army has never failed, they are willing to believe in and worship the Chiyou army."

Compared with those ruling classes who are arrogant and never take into account the interests of the lower class, troops like the Chiyou Army that focus on killing enemies and only gain glory for the country are obviously more likely to gain admiration and worship from the people.

Zhao Qian said excitedly: "Do they all want to join Chiyou's army, father?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and nodded slowly.

Yes, who doesn’t want to be a member of a long-term victory team?

Everyone knows that as long as you can become a member of the Chiyou Army, it means a rolling military merit! But what Zhao Kuo did not tell Zhao Qian was that although the Chiyou Army had experienced many expansions, the chances of people in places like Pingkangfang want to join the Chiyou Army are basically zero.

It’s not that Zhao Kuo discriminated against the people in Pingkangfang, but because the people in Pingkangfang are too poor, they are not well-fed and don’t wear warm, and their physical fitness is relatively poor. How could they pass the Chiyou Army, which is at least the elite level of individual soldiers, pass the assessment?

The saying of being poor, rich and wealthy martial arts is not a joke. The most important thing in practicing martial arts is of course to have a good body. The premise of having a good body is to have a lot of time every day to exercise and practice martial arts, and at the same time, there is a lot of meat to supplement nutrition. This is not something that the poor people in Pingkangfang can achieve.

The people here have tried their best to support themselves.

Soon, Zhao Kuo came to Wu Fei's house.

The originally ragged tent has now disappeared, replaced by a brand new wooden cabin.

From Zhao Qian's perspective, this wooden house is at best the level of his toilet at home, but for Pingkangfang, this wooden house is already a "luxury mansion".

Not only that, a circle of fences has been tied outside the wooden house, forming a small yard. Wu Fei, who has one leg, is lying on the wall outside the wooden house, his eyes slightly closed, and it looks like he is dozing, with two very new crutches beside him.

In front of Wu Fei, his daughter was washing clothes in the wooden basin.

Although all this still seems quite simple, for Wu Fei's family a few days ago, this situation is undoubtedly in heaven.

Zhao Kuo took Zhao Qian out of the carriage and walked into Wu Fei's yard.

Wu Fei's daughter was the first to hear the sound, and then when she saw Zhao Kuo, she immediately stood up and almost overturned the wooden basin.

"See, I have met you, my husband, my son."

The little girl was obviously very at a loss and didn't dare to look up when she spoke.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the little girl: "Where is your mother?"

The little girl hurriedly said, "When you come back, my mother is doing it inside, do that..." She seemed to forget something, her face turned red and she couldn't speak.

Zhao Qian couldn't help but answered for her: "Make tofu."

The little girl said a long time and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, are you making tofu."

Zhao Kuo's smile became stronger, but his tone was also more gentle: "Don't be nervous."

At this moment, Wu Fei, who heard the sound, finally woke up and opened his eyes.

"Hao?"

Wu Fei sat up in a hurry and then stood up with a cane.

Zhao Kuo looked at Wu Fei with a smile: "It's only been a few days, and you can actually walk on crutches by yourself?"

Wu Fei smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "The famous doctors and magic medicines sent by Jun Hou are really not worthy of fame. The young man originally thought he was going to die, but after taking the medicine, he got better soon."

When Wu Fei spoke, his heart was filled with gratitude.

He has been sick for so many years and has looked for all kinds of doctors in Handan City. He looked for those famous doctors who are too expensive and looked down upon them. He has seen all the cheaper doctors, but no one can cure him.

The doctors sent by Zhao Kuo not only used an unheard of "surgery" to remove Wu Fei's rotten meat, but also disinfected Wu Fei. Finally, they used various precious drugs mainly ginseng for Wu Fei, which saved Wu Fei back.

If it weren't for Wu Xinjun, who would have spent so much effort to ask famous doctors to use good medicine to save the lives of a disabled and useless veteran like Wu Fei?

These days, many neighbors came to visit after seeing the changes in Wu Fei's family, but Wu Fei spared no effort to promote Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Actually, this is also related to you. Those who help themselves will help God!"

Zhao Kuo is telling the truth. Injuries like Wu Fei should have died long ago.

But Wu Fei was able to live for so many years. On the one hand, his wife Jiang did take all her property to seek medical treatment. On the other hand, it also shows that Wu Fei's previous health and will to survive were very tough.

Sometimes it is like this. When you look at the situation in front of you, it feels like hell, but in fact, as long as you endure and get hit, the light will be waiting for you in front of you.

Zhao Kuo and Wu Fei smiled and said something for a while, then Xu Li brought several minor officials.

"Honor, these people are the minor officials responsible for managing Pingkangfang."

Zhao Kuo looked at the few officials in front of him who nodded and bowed respectfully, and his expression was calm.

Although this is Zhao Kuo's first time meeting these people today, Zhao Kuo has actually used the Nightingale system to touch the bottom of these people.

In terms of ability, these minor officials cannot be considered excellent, but at least they are qualified.

Someone said that Pingkangfang is so dilapidated, can these minor officials be considered qualified?

The answer is indeed the case, because if it were another incompetent stingy official to manage it, Pingkangfang would only be worse, or even more unimaginable.

Zhao Kuo said lightly to the minor officials: "Come here today, I have a contribution to you."

When several minor officials heard this, they were shocked and showed flattered expressions. The leader said quickly: "As long as you wait to give an order, the young man will definitely obey the order!"

Officials and officials are different from officials. As minor officials, these people are not qualified to call themselves "lower officials" in Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded and suddenly said, "Does any of you know how to calculate taxes?"

The minor officials were stunned when they heard this, and then they were still speaking, pointing to one of them and said, "Who is back, this person has been in the East City for a few months a few years ago, so I know a little bit."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "That's good.

Uncle Xu, show them my orders.”

Xu Li walked up and distributed the orders that had been copied in advance to all the minor officials, saying, "Before dusk today, these orders will be posted to every corner of Pingkangfang and read to everyone to know."

The clerks were timid and were shocked when they took the order.

The content on the order is also very simple, which is what Zhao Kuo said before, "One national store opening" matters.

Li Zheng said in surprise: "This, can you open a store to do business in Pingkangfang?

This…” This name, Li Zheng had never heard of such a thing, that is, Zhao Kuo was standing in front of him, and Li Zheng would even complain if someone else was talking.

Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently and said, "This is the king's order. I will use your Pingkangfang to do a pilot first.

You must do this well. As long as you do it well, it will be no problem for you to be promoted by then."

As soon as he heard Zhao Kuo's words, the officials were immediately happy.
