Chapter 225: The High Platform is Completed

After a few days of trouble, the final victory was finally achieved.

The grain convoy pulled the grain and drove out of Huguan in a steady stream, and it took many days to transport 100,000 loads of grain.

Wu Zixu made a big mistake this time. He didn't feel sorry for the 100,000 loads of grain. Fan Li is right, the grain stored by the Wu army can cope with all kinds of wars, but it is less than 100,000 quintals, and it will not have much impact on the Wu army's operations.

He was annoyed that his bottom line was smashed by Fan Li.

From Lu to Fucha, he assisted two generations of kings of Wu, endured hardships, defeated Chu in the west, and destroyed Yue in the east, and hegemony can be expected. But something went wrong, King Wu was greedy for pleasure, ignored state affairs, and no longer listened to his advice.

He knew that Fan Li was making trouble in the dark, but he couldn't get any evidence. What makes him talk about ** is that he still firmly controls an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, as long as there is sufficient grain and grass and a strong army, the foundation of Wu is still unbreakable. He no longer fought with Bo Yao Fan Li, hid in the army, strengthened training, as long as he ensured that Wu had a strong army, Wu could still be invincible.

However, Fan Li and Bo Yao actually came to the door. Like a scoundrel, he forcibly took away 100,000 loads of military rations. He suddenly felt so weak and helpless, his so-called career, his so-called loyalty, it was all a joke. In King Wu, he is a loyal old dog at best!

Annoyance, depression, depression, sadness, all kinds of negative emotions attack the heart and cannot be vented. Wu Zixu fell ill.

This incident was undoubtedly a major victory for Fan Li, he knew that the army was Wu Zixu's last line of defense, and he wanted to give it a try. He just wanted to defeat Wu Zixu's momentum, and at the same time deepen the contradiction between Wu Zixu and King Wu.

Fan Li has long been in the chest, even if he doesn't use military rations, he also has a way to get 100,000 loads of grain.

The cost of building Gusutai was distributed to the common people according to the head of the people, so that the poor were suffered, and the rich were not even hurt by the skin. As long as he learns from the experience of fighting local tyrants in later generations, he can attack the rich, and this bit of food is easy to raise.

Another way is to attack the ministers of the DPRK and China. These officials, big and small, are all very rich, and they don't want other ministers, even if Bo Yao alone takes out 100,000 loads of grain, it is not a big deal.

But in doing so, Fan Li will offend a large number of courtiers, especially people like Bo Yao, who play a huge role in the great cause of restoring the country. Therefore, Fan Li would rather touch Wu Zixu's tiger butt than offend Bo Yao and other ministers.

When the news spread into the harem, Xi Shi naturally knew that Fan Li had won the battle with Wu Zixu, and this victory was inseparable from King Wu's support. Her heart was full of joy, and she was even more warm to King Wu. King Wu was naturally overjoyed. Being able to please Yu Xi Shi, King Wu felt that he had done the right thing again.

The grain and grass are complete, and the Gusutai project is no longer fetters and is progressing smoothly. In early summer, the last brick was finally laid, the last tile was covered, and the last paint was applied. It's all done.

It lasted eight years, almost exhausted the last national strength of the Wu State, the most magnificent garden complex ever built on Lingyan Mountain, with its proud spirit of the world, standing outside the city of Gusu.

Fan Li and Bo Yao inspected the warehouse, there were still 50,000 quintals of grain that had not been used up, Fan Li said: "My lord, there is still so much food left, what are you going to do?" ”

Bo Yao smiled and said, "Brother, what is your opinion?" Kicked the ball to Fan Li again.

Fan Li said: "Several plans, first, return to Xiangguo, wait for the tax burden to be collected, and then make up for the borrowed grain." Second, it should be handed over to the state treasury. Three, the two of us are divided. Fourth, it will be distributed to migrant workers. ”

Bo Yao said: "Let's discuss it first, see which plan is suitable, let's talk about the first one, are you willing to return the grain to Wu Zixu?" ”

Fan Li said: "Of course I don't want to. We fought with him to the point of bloodshed, and just like that, we gave him food, it was too cheap for him. ”

He said, "I have the same heart with you, and we have made trouble with him to the king, and now we should give him food, which is a great loss." If you don't give it to him, drag it, and you won't pay back the food if you can. ”

Fan Li smiled: "Okay, just listen to you"

"Now let's talk about the second option. Surrender to the state treasury. Is it appropriate? ”

Fan Li said: "It's suitable! This grain originally belonged to the state, and now it is handed over to the state, and it is of course appropriate to be selfless. Butβ€”"

Bo Yao said, "Finish speaking, but what? ”

Fan Li said: "It is beneficial for the country to return the grain to the treasury, but it will be difficult for Dazai to use people in the future." ”

He said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Fan Li said: "The matter is clear, some people have worked here for three years, some people have worked here for five years, and now that the project is over, these people have returned home empty-handed, and they have worked in vain in the past few years." It's better to be a soldier, and those who are soldiers have to be paid. In this way, who wants to follow you Dazai in the future? ”

"That makes sense. The water is clear and free of fish. This grain is no longer paid to the treasury. Discuss the third option. ”

Fan Li said: "The third plan, the two of us divide this grain, you half and I half." ”

He said, "Do you want this grain?" ”

Fan Li said: "I am alone, I don't have a wife and children, I don't have a house, and I don't have a place to put this food." I'll just give me a favor, my share is gone, it's all yours. ”

Bo Yao laughed: "You are so funny, brother! No matter how poor I am, I haven't taken this bit of food into account. And food is such a bulky thing, and the goal is so big. I brought him home, and the world didn't scold me to death! ”

Fan Li said: "Adults really don't want it? ”

Bo Ya said, "I really don't. ”

Fan Li said: "That's all mine." ”

Bo Yao said, "Okay, it's all yours, you can carry it away at any time." ”

Fan Li bowed: "Thank you, sir." ”

Bo Yao looked at Fan Li a little strangely and said, "Brother, why do I feel that something is wrong?" You just said, there is no house, where do you put so much food? Besides, you're not a money-grubbing like me, are you? ”

Fan Li laughed: "I really don't have a place to put this food, I want this food, I want it, I want to distribute it to these migrant workers, everyone brings some food home, and it can be regarded as a hard work in the past few years has not been in vain." ”

"I know you have a lot of ideas, and if you say so, I won't give you this grain." ”

Fan Li smiled: "Isn't it true that the adult regrets it?" I knew you would regret it. ”

Bo Yao said: "It is not a repentance, but the implementation of the fourth set of plans, the 50,000 quintals of grain, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and distributed to all the engineering personnel who participated in the construction of Gusutai." This good guy can't let you do it alone. ”

Therefore, dozens of heads of engineering, technology, and finance were convened to hold a meeting, and according to the size of each person's contribution, the list was registered, the distribution standard was formulated, and then the team came to receive food. Within a few days, all 50,000 quintals of grain were distributed, and all 100,000 migrant workers were dismissed.

The picturesque Gusutai fell silent for a moment, and Bo Yao said, "Brother, let's go back and sell to the king." ”。

Fan Li said: "Let's go, after so many busy years, I can finally sell out." ”

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The king has arrivedβ€”"
