Chapter 180: Senior Brothers
Lu Hai's arrival surprised and surprised Gongsun Zhi and Wu Ban.
Wu Ban hugged Lu Hai's arm and said again and again: "Senior brother, I really didn't expect to see you here." So happy. β
Lu Hai looked at Wu Ban in a daze, as if he was looking at a stranger he didn't know. Wu Ban said: "Senior brother, what do you see, you don't know me anymore?" β
Lu Hai said: "Second Senior Brother, aren't you dead." I inquired about it in Gusu City for three days, and everyone said you were dead. I also thought you were really dead, and I didn't think you were still alive and well. Tell me, what's going on? β
Wu Ban looked at Fan Li and Zimei. I couldn't help but laugh. This smile made Lu Hai even more confused.
Fan Li smiled and said: "At that time, in order not to attract the attention of Wu Guo, our immortal family cast a small spell to cover everyone's ears and eyes, and Brother Wu Ban quietly left Gusu. β
Lu Hai took a deep look at Zimei and thought, this can also be fake.
Fan Li said: "Mr. Gongsun, eldest brother, tell me about your situation here." β
Wu Ban said: "All the 3,000 people we want have been put in place, some skilled craftsmen have all been put on duty, and some are being trained. The iron mine has already been mined, the iron-making furnace has been ignited, and the first batch of iron farming tools they have built have been sent out and distributed to the farmers, and everyone has responded very well. At this rate, it is completely possible to replace all the countries with iron farming tools within a year. β
Fan Li said: "The two of you have worked hard, and I thank you on behalf of the king." The King will be rewarded with other awards. If there are any difficulties in the lives of the two of them, they can also be raised. I will play the king to settle it. β
Gongsun Zhi said: "There is nothing to ask for, the king has already exceeded our extravagance." β
King Wu divided Sun Zhi and Wu Ban each ate a thousand households, which was really beyond their imagination, in Wu State, they were such technical talents, they were unclothed and hungry, and when they arrived in Yue Kingdom, there were 1,000 families to feed his family. Especially Gongsun Zhi, King Yue gave him a marriage, so that he had a home. In the past, this was a good thing he could never have dreamed of.
Gongsun Zhi said: "Thank you to the king, thank you to Lord Fan." Gongsun Zhi's being a cow and a horse is not enough to thank the great grace. β
Fan Li said: "Mr. Gongsun, don't say that, you have made great contributions to the development of Vietnam, and the people of Vietnam should thank you." β
Wu Ban said to Lu Hai: "Senior brother, you came to us this time, is there something wrong?" β
Lu Hai's tears flowed down: "Senior brother, second senior brother, the master is dead!" β
Gongsun Zhi and Wu Ban trembled as if they had been struck by lightning, and then they froze there and did not move. Suddenly, the two of them knelt down in the direction of Lu Guo and shouted, "Masterβ"
They were sent to the master to learn art at a very young age, and after many years of getting along, the relationship was worse than that of father and son. The brothers fell to their knees and wept bitterly.
After crying for a long time, Fan Li and Zimei stepped forward to convince them. Wu Ban said, "Senior brother, what did the master leave behind?" β
Lu Hai said: "Master knew that you were working in the country of Wu, and he said to me that the country of Wu was arrogant and did many unrighteous acts, and asked me to come to you and tell you to leave the country of Wu and not to serve the country of Wu. β
Gongsun Zhi and Wu Ban thought of the abuse they had suffered in Wu Kingdom, and they couldn't help but shed tears again, and said to the void: "Master, your old man sees it. Wu Guo is really not a place for craftsmen to stay. Tu'er has left the country of Wu and came to the country of Yue. The king of Yue is very good to us, so you old man can rest assured. β
Fan Li was also deeply moved when he saw the scene of several brothers mourning his master. Persuaded everyone and said: "A few people don't have to grieve, people can't be resurrected after death, since the old fairy has gone to the immortal, let's inherit his mantle, don't let the old man down." β
The emotions of the brothers and sisters slowly returned to normal. Fan Li seemed to jokingly say: "I want to ask a question that offends people, don't mind." β
The three brothers bowed down together and said, "You are our benefactor, don't be afraid of offending us, just say what you have to say." β
Fan Li smiled and said: "You are all apprentices taught by the old immortal Lu Ban, if you talk about craftsmanship, who has the highest skills?" β
The brothers looked at each other, and Wu Ban said, "Senior brother, you come and go." β
Gongsun Zhi said: "Lord Hui, we have several brothers, each with their own specialty, my ironwork skills are the best, and they are not as good as me." The second junior brother has the best carpentry skills, and we are not as good as him. The third junior brother has good masonry skills, and ordinary people are not as good as him. But the third junior brother is very proficient in various crafts, far beyond the level of ordinary people. The biggest strength of the three juniors is that they have a better ability to grasp and control large-scale civil engineering projects than anyone else. Other words. Although the third junior brother's ability to do it himself is not the best, he is the technical commander of a big project, but he is unbeatable. β
"Great, God help me!" Fan Li applauded and laughed, and everyone was stunned. Fan Li was a supreme general in the Yue State and an upper-level official in the Wu State. Everyone has never seen him show his emotions so unabashedly.
Gongsun Zhi suddenly thought that Fan Li had come all the way to find their senior brothers, and he must have a purpose. Then he said, "My lord, you must have come to our brother, something must be wrong, right?" β
Fan Li said: "Several of you, including my eldest brother, must know something about the grievances and grievances between Wu and Yue. β
A few people nodded, indicating that they knew something. Fan Li said: "I treat a few of them as brothers and tell you a big secret. I hope a few of you will keep this a secret for me. β
The three brothers all knelt down, and Wu Ban said, "Second brother, we all know that you are a person with secrets. You are the benefactor of our three brothers and sisters, and we are even more grateful for your trust in us, and we swear in the name of Master Lu Ban to keep secrets and never betray! β
Gongsun Zhi and Lu Hai picked up and said: "Keep it a secret and never betray!" β
Fan Li said: "Please get up." Now, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Wu State, and the Yue Kingdom was sacked by the Wu State unprecedentedly, and the King of Yue was held hostage to the Wu State for three years and was greatly humiliated. But the government and the opposition of the Yue Kingdom are not willing to be slaves of the country, they are all working for a common goal, this goal is to revive the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu State. The king of Yue invited everyone to come, which is to ask you to contribute to the revival of the Yue country. β
Gongsun Zhi said: "Don't hide it from the adults: "If you don't say it, we also feel it, you say, what do you want us to do?" β
Fan Li said: "Everyone has seen that Wu is very strong now, while Yue is very poor and weak, and it will take a long time for Yue to catch up with and surpass Wu's strength." The method I buy is to weaken the strength of the state of Wu while developing itself. This would speed up the recovery of the country.
"Now we have encouraged King Wu to build a Gusutai, and to build this Gusutai, we must exhaust the national strength of Wu and hinder the development of Wu. Fan Li asked a few people to help in terms of technology, so that this garden is grand in scale and exquisite. King Wu and I already have a preliminary idea, and now we ask you to prepare a plan that can burn money in particular. As he spoke, he took out the sketch that Bo Yao had made.
The three brothers are all technology fans, and when they heard about such an unprecedented project, their hearts became excited, and all three of them fell on the drawing!
