Fan Li is not only good at making decisions on the spot, but also has a lot of experience in internal affairs, when he was in the Chu State, he had listened to Ji Ran teach the art of enriching the country, which happened to be used here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He advised: "The king has been absent for three years, and the government decrees in the country are sloppy, so first of all, we should revise his laws and regulations, and let the ministers and officials perform their duties. In addition, the Yue State had to contribute a large amount of grain to the Wu State every year, so that there was no grain piled up in the fields, and the granaries were empty, so it was necessary to reduce the taxes of the people and make the people rich. Then actively guide and reward farming, so that the people can reclaim their fields, the treasury of the real government, and the country will become rich! ”

Gou Jian frowned and said: "Although this move can restore the prosperity of the people, but if the tax is reduced, it will be difficult for the treasury to be replenished, and it will be impossible to raise soldiers." ”

Fan Li said solemnly: "Only when the country is rich can the army be strong." The king, the reckless army can't save the Yue Kingdom, only by cleaning up the hearts of the people and letting the people and the king become one, can they have a chance to defeat the Wu Kingdom. Poetry: The grandson of Houji, the prince of Shiwei; The sun of Juqi is the beginning of the business. The Zhou Dynasty destroyed Dayi Shang, from King Tai to King Wu, it also took many years before and after, and the matter of enriching the country and strengthening the army was not visible for ten or twenty years. ”

Gou Jian promised to let Fan Li draw up a detailed itinerary after he went back, and Wen Chong came up to offer advice, and his strategy was biased towards how to plot Wu Guo. In the past three years, every time Wen Chong entered Wu to contribute, Fan Li would talk with him at night, and inform him of the reality of Wu State, strength and weakness.

"There are seven ...... of the strategy of the minister"

"One is to donate money to please his monarch and ministers. The king can collect the unique kudzu cloth in the country, pick the southern forest gantang, fox skin, Yue bamboo and other special products to the king of Wu, so as to persuade the king of Wu to increase the fiefdom of the Yue country, so that the Yue country can slowly restore the former state of thousands of miles. ”

Since the Wu State conquered Vietnam, the Yue people have fled into the mountains and forests in the places occupied by the Wu army, and they cannot organize their households and people. Especially in the later generations of western Zhejiang, northern Jiangxi, these "Ganyue" residences, King Wu has always regarded them as useless places, and there is still a chance to come back.

"The second is called Gui Su. King Wu was reckless, so that Sun Wuzi trained a large number of soldiers, known as 100,000 people. As a result, the young and strong men of Wu State went to the army with halberds, the fields were unattended, and the grain of Wu State began to rely on the contribution of Yue State, and the king could comply with their greed, but quietly increased the price of grain and tightened the grain route, so that the treasury of Wu State was empty and the people were tired. ”

"The three are said to be the best materials for the palace, so that the palace can be exhausted. The minister heard that the king of Wu liked the extravagant high platform, and the king could dedicate the skilled craftsmen of the Yue country to Wu, so that the king of Wu could build a large number of buildings and consume the financial resources of the Wu country. ”

"If it weren't for his protection, the king would have already been splashed with blood in the court of King Wu, and now he has returned safely, and the treasure and thick coins cannot be pulled down, so let him covet the bribes of the Yue country, continue to confuse the king of Wu, and don't be jealous of the Yue country."

"Wu said that he was weak and his assistant, Wu Zixu, the prime minister of Wu State, was loyal to Wu Guo, oil could not be spilled, water could not seep in, and it was impossible to bribe and buy. This person has always had murderous intentions towards the king, and Sanjinkou also sent someone to assassinate him, which is really a great enemy of the Yue country, and he must be eliminated! Fortunately, Bo Yao has coveted his phase for a long time, and the two have already competed against each other in the court, so we only need to provoke a little and let Bo Yao fight with him and knock him down. ”

"Six said to accumulate wealth and train soldiers, in order to accept their disadvantages, this is the most important, the young uncle has already said, in terms of mastery of this way, he is far better than me, the king can appoint the young uncle."

After saying so much, Wen Chong's mouth was a little dry, and Gou Jian was listening attentively, and hurriedly asked someone to hand over the water bag and let him drink it bitterly before wiping his mouth and offering the last plan.

"Seven beauties are left behind to confuse their minds. Shaobo said that King Wu is lustful and insatiable, often indulged in lust, it just so happened that his wife died, Wu Palace has no owner, it is better to choose a beautiful woman in the country, dedicated to her husband, or can reproduce the story of Shang Xun loving Daji and Shang dying, and King Zhou You loving Bao Xi and Zhou dying......"

Fan Li added: "Although the husband has a tattoo and a broken hair, he doesn't like Wu Yue's tattooed woman, his wife is the princess of the Song Kingdom, during the Song Rebellion, he was also infatuated with the appearance of Song Wu Nanzi, and the beauties of the harem are all found by Bo Yao from the Central Plains." Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to choose a beautiful woman. ”

Wen Chong smiled ambiguously: "When the young uncle was in the Chu State, he also had a wandering wreckage, seduced many aristocratic women Yehe, and also went in and out of the female Lu of the Central Plains, and he was extremely proficient in this matter, do you have a good plan?" ”

"If you want to ask which country's women are the most beautiful and wild, it is Zheng Wei......"

Fan Li closed his eyes and recited: "Yan Ru Shunhua, will soar and soar, Pei Yu Qiongju...... Zheng Wei's woman is the most elegant and charming, and the king can send someone to Zheng Guonu to find a young woman, buy it and cultivate it. ”

In addition, in the west of Huiji, Zhuji Lai Luo Mountain, there are also several villages where the remnants of the Xu State live, in order to avoid the tyranny of the Wu State, they came to avoid the tyranny of the Wu State, and the grace of the protection of the King of Yue could not be repaid, and every year they dedicated the girl, filling the harem of the ancestors and the queen. They have been in Vietnam for two generations, and their language and demeanor are the same as those of the Yue people, but the woman has no tattoos, which is just in line with the appetite of the husband, and the king is not there in the past three years, and Zhuji has not contributed to the beauty, why not go to find it, or have a harvest......"

……

Gou Jian's head agreed and asked Fan Li to go down to arrange the matter, but when he saw Fan Li turn around and leave, he turned back and stopped.

"Young Doctor, what else is going on?"

Fan Li said: "Fang Caizi offered seven strategies to break Wu, and the minister thought about it and felt that he could add another strategy. ”

Gou Jian pricked up his ears: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Fan Li picked up a bamboo knot and drew a map on the ground: "Fang is going down today, if you want to talk about a strong country, it is nothing more than the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Jin. The state of Wu defeated Chu, broke Yue, and crisscrossed the Jianghuai, and the king of Wu claimed to have 100,000 armor, almost invincible in the south. If you want to rely on Yue Guo's broken body and meager strength to defeat them, it is really difficult to reach the blue sky, so you need to borrow strength. ”

"Borrow?" Gou Jian thought for a while: "The king of Chu is my son-in-law, and in the past three years, he has also let the doctor secretly contact him, maybe he can use their strength." ”

"The state of Chu fought against the state of Wu, and was defeated repeatedly, and his courage was lost. Ten years ago, my husband was ordered by King Wu Lu to attack Chu, captured Pan Zichen, Xiao Weizi and Dafu seven people, and scared Chu to move the capital to hide. Now the Ling Yin and Sima of the Chu State are both old and serious people, and their strategy is to cultivate virtue and politics internally, fight for Chen and Cai externally, and hold the old territory, but if they want to go all out to defeat Wu, they are afraid that it will be difficult, so they can make friends, but they can't rely on Chu alone. ”

"What does the doctor mean that he still needs to make new reinforcements?"

"Not bad!" Fan Li said: "When the king entered Wu, Zhao Qing of the Jin State sent a messenger Chu Long to come to condole, and when he was in the Wu State, the minister also talked to Zhao Qing's spies, so I know that the Zhao family is helpful to Yue!" ”

"Is that true?"

Gou Jian was refreshed when he heard it, in the past ten years, Zhao Wuxian's limelight has even been heard of by him who lives in the south. Now the Zhao clan dominates the Jin power, supporting Dai Zhai on the left and Situ on the right, and it is a great country spanning thousands of miles, suppressing Wei and Han at home, and fighting Qi, Qin, and Zheng outside without the power to fight back. If you can get the help of the Zhao family outside the Chu State, then the Yue Kingdom doesn't have to be too afraid of the Wu State!

But he frowned: "Zhao lives in Beihai, Wu lives in Nanhai, the two families are not related, when the widow is in Wu State, he sees that Zhao and Wu trade is thriving day by day, and it seems that it has not been affected, why does Zhao Qing want to help Yue attack Wu?" ”

Fan Li said: "The husband is so happy that he is trying to get involved in Song, Lu, and Ju, but this place has long been regarded by Zhao Qing as his own backyard. In addition, he newly married the remnants of the Xu State Office as his wife, and the Xu people who were eager to restore the country went north one after another, which was intolerable to the husband, so the contradiction between Zhao and Wu would grow day by day. Rong Chen asserted here that within ten years, Zhao and Wu will have a battle, the Zhao army is invincible in the north, and Wu Shixiong is longer than in the south. At that time, it will be the day of revenge of the Yue Kingdom! ”

"Reasonable, the matter of befriending the Zhao family will also be handed over to the doctor." Gou Jian bowed to the ground, and Fan Li hurriedly returned the salute.

"The minister thought about it carefully, while bribing Wu Guo with a beautiful jade silk, the Zhao family couldn't pull it down. If a beautiful woman is found, the minister will personally train him, first decorate with Luo Yu, teach him to walk, and then preach his loyalty to the king. When they are finished, they are not only beautiful in appearance, but also have decent appearances, and sing and dance, so they will be dedicated to King Wu and Zhao Qing respectively, so that the overlords of the north and south will fall under the charm of the Yue women, why worry about the Yue country? ”

……

On the outskirts of Yecheng in the Jin Kingdom, looking forward to July, Zhao Wuxian didn't know that he had been set as the target of the beauty plan.

The endless wheat field churned with golden waves, he wore a regular clothes, squinted at the old sun, wiped a handful of sweat, twisted a handful of spring wheat that had been dyed with a layer of apricot, removed the bran, put it in his mouth and chewed gently, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Wuxian turned around and sighed to Fan Li's teacher, Ji Ran: "Look at this wheat, thanks to Mr., this year is another bumper harvest year!" ”

The autumn harvest is very taboo to use troops, Qin and Wei finally stopped the four-month Hexi wrestling, Wei paid the price of thousands of casualties, and missed the summer planting, finally monopolized the land of Hexi, Qin people can only retreat to the west bank of the river, staring at the blood-red eyes to harvest grain, to fight again in the next year.

After the Han clan also built the Tiger Prison New City, he also relied on the strong city to repel several counterattacks by the Zheng people, but the small body of the Han clan was also broken and the people were tired.

On the Zhao side, it was a different scene.

Although Ji Ran was nearly sixty years old, he did not show his old state, he stroked his goatee and smiled: "The old man is just pointing fingers, I want to thank the big farmer and the son of the big farmer for wearing the stars and the moon late, thank the people of Yedi for their hard work, and thank the big sacrificial wine of the school palace for predicting the cold winter." Naturally, I have to thank Shangqing for his good governance. ”

Around the autumn solstice last year, Chang Hong, who is proficient in astronomy, stargazed at night and predicted that the winter weather would be much colder than usual, and the winter wheat harvest might not be harvested. Immediately, Ji Ran also thought so, Zhao Wuxian knew a little geography, but he didn't know anything about astronomy, and issued an order suspiciously to stop planting winter wheat and plant spring wheat again in the spring of the next year.

Sure enough, last winter, it snowed heavily, the Yellow River froze, and the land on the outskirts of Yecheng was also frozen. However, there is rain at four o'clock after the beginning of spring, so whether it is spring wheat, corn, or sorghum, the growth is very gratifying.

Zhao Wuxian transferred Fan Chi, an agricultural expert, to Yedi and promulgated the "Religion of Optimal Geography", requiring the people to "mix grains in case of disasters, work hard, and harvest like robbers." ”

In agricultural cultivation, a variety of management methods should be adopted, such as if one crop is affected by a natural disaster, there are other crops that can be harvested, the plough should be deep, weeding should be diligent, and the harvest should be as quick as guarding against the arrival of robbers, so as not to suffer losses. These are good agricultural technology experience, which has a great effect on improving agricultural labor productivity, coupled with the promotion of the field substitution method, high-temperature composting, the sowing of improved varieties of Rongshu, and the intercropping of beans and wheat, so in the autumn, Zhao's territory ushered in a bumper harvest.

This year is the last year of tax exemption for immigrants, so Yecheng residents are highly motivated to work, and there is a scene of busy farming and harvesting in front of them.

Although the situation is very good, Ji Ran also has a trace of worry in his eyes.

"The cycle of time is a bumper harvest every six years, a flat every six years, a famine every twelve years, a bumper harvest this year, and not necessarily next year...... Taiyin, three-year-old gold is squirrel, three-year-old water is destroyed, three-year-old wood is Kang, three-year-old fire is drought, a few days before the school palace festival wine observed the moon shadow, thinking that next year, the entire land of Jizhou may encounter a famine! ”

Next year...... Zhao Wuxian's face also became solemn, although he didn't know whether Chang Hong's prediction was metaphysics or science. But at least last year was quite accurate, if it is indeed as he said, next year will be a difficult hurdle, and he plans to make some big moves next year.

However, he saw that Ji Ran was not too anxious, so his heart moved, and he asked, "If there is really a famine, I wonder if Mr. can deal with it?" ”

Ji Ran smiled: "Yes." ”
