Chapter 19 Fan Li pulls the strings

Get up early in the morning to feed the horses, add grass, add feed, feed water, and then clean up the horse manure. Yue Wang Goujian and Fan Li were sweating profusely. Queen Yayu also came to help dry.

You can't wear that kind of wide robe and big sleeves, and you can't work if you wear it, but fortunately, Fan Li has already thought of this and prepared short clothes and pants for everyone.

I worked all morning, and I finally got things done. Before they were officials, leading troops to fight, how could they have done the work of raising horses. It looks clumsy to dry.

A few of the soldiers looked at them and laughed. The big man turned out to be so stupid, and he couldn't do simple work well.

Not only were the soldiers strange to look at, but the people on the street heard that the monarch of the Yue Kingdom was raising horses, and they also ran over to see it, and surrounded a stone house. While watching, he pointed and chattered.

While Gou Jian was doing it, he only felt that his face was on fire, and he felt that he was the king of a country who had fallen to such a point, and he was really ashamed.

However, Fan Li was much more free and easy, while working, he raised his head and nodded and smiled at everyone, or waved his hand, and did not feel much shame.

He was born at the bottom of his life, his father was a winemaking engineer, his mother was a high school history teacher, and before he joined the army, he often did manual labor, and one year he ran back to his hometown in the countryside to participate in the wheat harvest.

He traveled to the Spring and Autumn Period, became the general of the Yue Kingdom, and became the supreme military commander of a country, but unfortunately, he was a defeated general, who would follow the king into Wu as a slave and did the work of raising horses.

With the foundation of his previous life, Fan Li's role change is much easier.

He became a historical figure, and he had to be responsible for history. Now the situation of their monarchs and ministers is very dangerous, and maybe one day, when the king of Wu is not happy, he will kill them.

Fan Li knows this history, and finally Gou Jian succeeded in recovering the country, and Fan Li also had a good ending, but now that he is personally involved in this historical process, he must perform this history smoothly. Because although the general trend of history will not change, countless details are full of uncertainty, and if you don't play well and deviate from the track, you will suffer. What kind of sin it will suffer, he does not know.

Fan Li was working, and his brain was not idle. He was thinking about how to change his current situation.

Every move, word and deed of their monarchs and ministers is completely under the control of King Wu, and the dozen or so soldiers who take care of them around them are actually a group of spies, who will record their words and deeds, and then report them to King Wu.

The only way to change this situation is to turn this group of agents into their own. But what do you use to buy these soldiers?

It's easy to think about, but it's hard to do. Who listens to you if you talk in the vernacular? But he is a slave now, how can he make this Sima Zhe promoted and rich?

When the work is done, it is time to cook. Fan Li had cooked in his previous life, but it was a briquette that was burned, and now he has to burn firewood and grass, even so, it is still much stronger than King Yue and the queen.

A meal, finally eaten. King Yue's mood is inevitably low, but Queen Yayu can still see it. Fan Li chatted with the king for a while and said some enlightening words, and King Yue's mood finally improved.

Fan Li walked out of the stone house and stood idle, looking at the scenery on the street. Sima Zhe walked over: "Doctor Fan, what are you looking at?" As soon as Fan Li came, he gave him a large sum of money, and he had a good attitude towards Fan Li, he knew that people like Fan Li, just give a little bit of it, it is enough for him to pay half a year's military salary.

Fan Li hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I've seen Lord Sima, there will be nothing to do here, just take a look." ”

Sima Zhe and his subordinates were originally responsible for raising horses for the palace, and when the king of Yue came, their task changed, and they changed from raising horses to managing people. But the three people they are guarding have a lot of backgrounds, the monarch, the queen and the general, right?

With a sense of novelty, Sima Zhe and Fan Li chatted with each other.

Fan Li said: "Where is Lord Sima from?" ”

Sima Zhe said: "Fifteen miles east of Gusu, Jiangcha Village. ”

Fan Li said: "Who else is in the family? ”

Sima Zhe said: "I still have parents at home. ”

Fan Li glanced at Sima Zhe, who was of medium height, good looking, and looked strong and capable.

Fan Li said: "Adults are soldiers, does the lady serve her parents at home?" ”

Sima Zhe was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm a bachelor." There are no dependents. ”

Fan Li hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, I shouldn't ask this." ”

Sima Zhe was a little embarrassed: "It's okay." ”

After a brief conversation, Fan Li already knew that this low-level officer of the Wu army was a loyal person, not like the kind of ruffian soldiers who did all kinds of bad things, and as soon as his heart moved, he had an idea.

He said, "My lord, Fan Li is too talkative. Why don't you marry a wife and have children, so that you can pass on the lineage? ”

Sima Zhe's face darkened: "My family has no land, I can't earn money as a soldier, why should I marry a daughter-in-law?" How can you support others if you marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Fan Li smiled: "My lord, it's not right to say this." I've heard that a cow head is all the way to the grass, and he marries a capable lady, and maybe someone else will have to support you, but I don't know. ”

Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan is laughing. People like me can't even think about it. ”

Fan Li smiled and said, "To be honest, do you want to be an adult?" As long as you want, I can guarantee that you will marry a daughter-in-law, and that she will be able to support your parents. ”

Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan, this kind of good thing is not my turn. ”

Fan Li smiled with a smile on his face: "My lord, do you want to or don't you want to?" ”

Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan, who can't want this kind of good thing? ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, my lord, it's easy to do it if you think about it, and the matter of your marriage is on Fan Li." ”

Sima Zhe looked at Fan Li: "Doctor Fan, you're not making fun of me, are you?" ”

No wonder Sima Zhe doesn't believe it, Fan Li himself is still a prisoner, and he can't even save his life, and in this capital of Wu State, he is not familiar with life, how can he still have the ability to marry a daughter-in-law for others?

Sima Zhe said: "Can you ask, Doctor Fan, how can you guarantee that I will marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Fan Li said: "My lord, if you are not in a hurry, I promise you to marry a daughter-in-law in ten days, if you are in a hurry, I guarantee that you will marry a daughter-in-law in three days, but there is one condition." ”

Sima Zhe said: "What conditions? ”

Fan Li said: "From here to the south of Erli Road, there is an inn called Chunfengli, you take me to that inn for a meal, and this is done." ”

Sima Zhe's face was full of doubts: "Doctor Fan, are you kidding?" ”

Fan Li said: "Master Sima, I am your prisoner now, can I make fun of you?" If you give me a pair of small shoes to wear, I can't stand it. ”

Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan, I will believe you for a while. I'd like to see if you can marry me a daughter-in-law. Let's go eat in the spring breeze. ”
