Zhao Kuo rested for three days.

He hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time. If it weren't for the thumping sound of thumping in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo felt that he could have rested for a longer time.

When he walked out the door, he saw Du, who was burly, lying on the ground, holding a wooden tree in his hands, and wheels on both sides. He was measuring something, and Ge stood beside him, chattering and talking to him. Du's eyes were not good, and often he needed to measure it by groping, but the results he measured were often very accurate. In the eyes of the people, these people who were incomplete and could not see seemed to have a mysterious ability.

Therefore, they often ask Du to help if they have anything to build.

Of course, now that he is the only craftsman left in the horse suit, he has become the only option.

Du did not notice Zhao Kuo standing beside him, and Ge did not remind him. Zhao Kuo asked, "Is this a chariot repair?" Ge just stared at Du's hand and nodded. Zhao Kuo walked to his side and looked at it seriously. Du made several concave gaps on the wood. Several gaps stuck together, which could produce the effect of a nail. The gaps were particularly symmetrical, and even the size was exactly the same.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be amazed.

Du was busy for a long time and stood up to say goodbye to Ge, who wanted to go home for a meal and continue to work hard. Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, "Let's stay here for dinner today." Du vaguely heard something someone was saying. He looked at Zhao Kuo's direction, but couldn't see the figure clearly. He just looked blankly. Ge walked forward helplessly and shouted in his ear: "Ma Fuzi wants you to stay for dinner!!"

"Ma Fuzi?" Du was shocked and hurriedly paid homage to the front. Ge pulled him helplessly and asked him to face Zhao Kuo.

"Ma Fuzi, you asked me to make a wheel car, I made it."

Zhao Kuo did not rush to ask, but just asked Du to have a meal first. However, no matter what, Du did not dare to go into the room with Zhao Kuo for food. He sat in a corner of the courtyard, eating, talking about the kindness of Ma Fuzi. Zhao Kuo saw that he wrapped a piece of mutton with cloth and ate it reluctantly. He shook his head, took out a piece of meat from his bowl and asked Ge to send it over. Ge told him: This is a reward from Ma Fuzi, and it must be eaten.

"His eyes are becoming less and less visible, and his ears are getting worse and worse. What a pitiful person." Ge sat beside Zhao Kuo and whispered.

"A craftsman with a humble status cannot see his eyes or hear his ears. But he is kind in his heart. How can he be said to be pitiful by living with his skills? On the contrary, some ministers, who are in high positions, cannot see the sufferings of the people, cannot hear the moans of the soldiers, and only think about how to murder virtuous people and betray their monarchs. Such people are pitiful people."

"Lou Chang?"

Zhao Kuo smiled without answering.

After dinner, Zhao Kuo and Ge went out and followed Du to his courtyard to see the wheelbarrow he built. Du's courtyard was not dirty and could be seen that he often cleaned, but in the courtyard, there were various wheelbarrows of different sizes, and some unfinished products. Ge widened his eyes and there was really a wheelbarrow car... Zhao Kuo hurried forward and looked at it seriously.

The largest wheelbarrow is comparable to the chariot, and Zhao Kuo cannot even grasp two grips at the same time.

Du Yiyi groped and said, "This is the first one I built. I thought it could be made on the scale of a chariot, but after it was made, four or five people could not push it... So I remade it..." Du groped in the second car and said, "This is the second car. Two adults can push it, but they can't turn, which is very labor-intensive..."

The sixth wheelbarrow made by Du is the most in line with the image of the wheelbarrow in Zhao Kuo's heart. He pushed the wheelbarrow and installed it in the courtyard. The wheelbarrow could turn flexibly. He bent down and looked at the wheel. The connection between the wheel and the frame was a bit complicated. It was not simply connected directly with a gap. Du said on the side: "I found that the further the distance between the grip and the wheel center of gravity, the less effort it took..."

"Okay! Very good!" Zhao Kuo was overjoyed. In Shangdang, or in terrain like Zhao, it was very troublesome to rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport materials. Zhao did not vigorously develop transportation like Qin, which made many mountain roads very difficult to travel. Just like last time, if you were not fortunate to lead the way, the carriage would not have thought that it could pass through the Taihang Mountains. With such a light wheelbarrow, it would be much easier to transport materials in the mountains.

Zhao Kuo did not forget to reward this craftsman. He liked Du very much, a simple and kind craftsman. He wanted Du to follow him, but Du refused. He said that he did not dare to kill people. At this age, he did not dare to kill a chicken. Zhao Kuo had never thought of taking him to the battlefield, but others were in the horse and could find him any matter, so he did not force him.

Zhao Fu was also back, and he brought back an important news, the last reward from King Zhao.

The King of Zhao wanted to grant Zhao Kuo the title of Ma Fujun and returned all of Zhao She's original fiefs. There were even a lot more. Zhao Kuo suddenly changed from a son of a fief to the vassal with the most fiefs in Zhao. When Zhao Fu talked about this, Zhao Kuo was a little unbelievable. Zhao Fu said again: "The Lord originally wanted to grant you the title as your reward, but I heard that Lou Chang argued with reason and spoke for justice, and got you a richer reward."

"Lou Chang?"

Zhao Kuo even disbelief.

The envoy from Handan the next day proved the words of Zhao Fu. The envoy brought the reward from King Zhao. Of course, it was not as much gold and silk as before, but the crown, sword and flag. However, from this time, Zhao Kuo was no longer a horse cousin, but a horse cousin. The flag sent by King Zhao was a circle larger than the flag left by his father Zhao She, which was enough to show the expectations of King Zhao for him.

The entire horse suit was in a state of fanatic joy, even Zhao's mother. She held the brand new flag, touched the embroidered horse suit, and her face was full of smiles. Sometimes she looked at Zhao Kuo, sometimes she looked at the flag. Zhao Kuo had never seen her like this before. Zhao Kuo could not continue to stay in the horse suit, he had to go back to Handan. There were still a lot of cumbersome rituals to be completed with the King of Zhao. The ceremony of enfeoffment could not be completed by the words of the envoy.

Whether in his past or present life, Zhao Kuo hated these useless rituals very much, but he had to go.

When he arrived in Handan, nobles had come to greet him. Zhao Kuo was surrounded by him into the palace. King Zhao dressed very formally, but the joy on his face broke the solemnity of the ceremony. Zhao Kuo's crown was taken off and he leaned over to stand at the end. Amid the sounds of various musical instruments that Zhao Kuo could not recognize, King Zhao pretended to ask the nobles around him.

"What kind of person is Zhao Kuo?"

"He is a kind and righteous gentleman!"

When Zhao Kuo heard the answer, he had to take a step forward.

King Zhao asked again: "What kind of person is Zhao Kuo?"

"He is a wise man who can listen to criticism from others!"

"What kind of person is Zhao Kuo?"

"He is a talented man who can make his soldiers fight to the death!"

"What kind of person is Zhao Kuo?"

"He defeated the famous general of the 100,000 Yan people with six thousand soldiers!"

As soon as he answered, Zhao Kuo had already walked to the King of Zhao. King Zhao stood up, took the crown, walked to Zhao Kuo, and said loudly: "Sage, Zhao Kuo!" Then he put the crown on Zhao Kuo with his own hands. The nobles stepped forward and congratulated the young prince who had just been promoted. The King of Zhao bent over to salute Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo hurriedly bent over and returned the salute.

"Greetings to Ma Fujun!!"

After completing these cumbersome ceremonies, Zhao Kuo was relieved. King Zhao held a banquet and everyone was in a carnival. Zhao Kuo sat alone in his seat. He was not good at drinking, so the ministers did not force him to drink with him. He looked around. Xu Li, Zhao Bao, Zhao Li and others were all present, and even Dong Chengzi was there. Among the old ministers who were close to Zhao Kuo, only Tian Shan was present. As the prime minister, he had to come. However, he looked cold and had no idea of ​​complimenting.

But Lin Xiangru and Le Yi are not here.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness of everyone, Zhao Kuo came to Tian Dan's side.

"Mr. Tian, ​​it's been a long time since you haven't simplified. Are you sick?"

Tian Dan drank a cup of wine and looked at Zhao Kuo calmly.

"Le Yi is dead."
