Feng Xuan 馮諼 was a retainer of Lord Mengchang 孟嘗君. Feng was sent out to collect debts from peasants. With the money, he was to buy anything that was missing in the Lord's house. Arrived in the villages, he collected the debts of the rich and burned the certificates of the indebted poor. When he returned, he presented the Lord what he had bought: benevolence, the only missing item in his household. When the Lord was dismissed by King Min of Qi 齊湣王 (r. 323-284) and returned to his territory of Xue 薛, he found himself cheered by the people. Feng Xuan was also able to have the king repent dismission of Lord Mengchang, and the latter was again appointed counsellor-in-chief.
