Not far from the royal palace, there is a small courtyard. Once a stable, it has been converted into a dwelling.

The rammed laterite walls are printed with neat and clear bamboo strip textures, the wooden doors maintain the original wood color, and the narrow entrance courtyard is covered with a thick layer of dry thatch. Pushing the door in, there is a courtyard with a vacant lot in the middle, and a few peach blossoms are planted in the corner of the courtyard. On the left is the kitchen and latrine, on the right is two inner rooms, and in front of the door is a main hall, in the center of the main hall is a wooden case with curly ears, and behind the wooden case there is a wooden lattice bookcase, on which are stacked layers of bamboo slips of different old and new.

In the inner room on the right, the furnishings are also very simple. On the bed, there was no furnishings except the coarse cloth bedding, and the edge of the futon was exposed with withered yellow straw.

The other inner room was slightly smaller and empty except for a spinning wheel and a wooden bench.

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, sat on the ground in front of the wooden table in the main hall, which became his daily residence. After the court every day, Gou Jian and his wife Fengyi returned to live in this courtyard. In order not to forget the shame of being a minister of Wu, and in order not to be mistaken by the sound of dogs and horses, Gou Jian must practice and lead by example.

At this time, Feng Yi was dressed in a coarse cloth and plain clothes, and walked in excitedly, holding a bamboo basket on the side of her hands, which was a silkworm yarn that had just been prepared.

"What is the king doing? The concubine came back from Huansha today and met General Fan Li driving out of the city with a car. ”

Gou Jian had no words, Fan Li had a heavy responsibility, and he had to secretly go to Guling to train troops, which was one of the most important strategies for the revitalization of the Yue Kingdom. I didn't send him off, because I was worried that Wu Guo's fine work would get the news. Fan Li is the most important minister of the Yue Kingdom. His every move naturally attracts the attention of those who are meticulous.

Feng Yi saw that Gou Jian was deep in thought, and she didn't go up to disturb, so she went into the room with a spinning wheel. After a while, the room resounded with the sound of weaving.

Gou Jian looked at a bamboo slip on the case in a daze, this is the note that the text has just been submitted, and it is about the seven national policies for the revitalization of the Yue country:

"One is a gift of wealth; With the power of the Yue Kingdom, collect the treasures and enshrine them in front of the King of Wu, so that the King of Wu thinks that the submission of the Yue Kingdom is sincere. Gain the forgiveness of King Wu. It can create a good external environment for the rejuvenation of Vietnam and give Vietnam more opportunities to recuperate.

the second is to send beauty; It is to send special envoys to all parts of the country to visit the beautiful women who are about 17 years old, and the beauties of the country are famous all over the world. Give King Wu a beauty who can sing and dance, and the country is beautiful and fragrant, and he can eliminate his edge and fall into his ambition. Once King Wu is fascinated by beauty and neglects national politics, Wu's national strength will be greatly damaged.

The third is the legacy of the craftsman. Give the skilled craftsmen of the Yue Kingdom to the King of Wu. A set of magnificent palace architectural plans was drawn up for King Wu. King Wu is so happy that he will definitely build a palace to show off the bearing of Wu as a great country. If the king of Wu accepted this suggestion and built a large number of buildings, the national strength and people's strength of the state of Wu would be severely damaged, and perhaps it would also cause the people of Wu to revolt and cause civil strife, which could greatly weaken the national strength of the state of Wu.

The fourth is the widowed minister. As the Dazai of the Wu Kingdom, Bo Yao won the favor of King Wu. The enemy has a courtier. It is the blessing of our country! What we have to do is to maintain very close contacts with Bo Ya and continue to support Bo Ya to gain greater power in the Wu State.

The fifth is to cut the loyal ministers, the military members of the state of Wu, and the pillars of the state of Wu. But in the state of Wu, the power of the prime minister seriously threatened the royal power, so the soldiers and the husband were separated from each other. Now that the fucha has become suspicious of the soldiers, we can take advantage of the contradiction between the fucha and the soldiers, use the trick to stimulate this contradiction, and use the hands of the fucha to get rid of the soldiers, once the Wu State destroys the Great Wall, our opportunity for revenge will come.

Sixth, for the rich country, Wu did not take advantage of the victory to destroy our country, gave us a chance to breathe, we just took advantage of this opportunity to implement a series of policies to enrich the people and strengthen the country, to strengthen the country must first enrich the people, the minister asked the king to allow, the people of our country, seven years without collecting taxes.

Seven is a strong armor soldier, the king wants to take revenge, and in the end, it is a powerful army that falls into execution. The first six strategies are all in the service of this purpose. There are many skilled craftsmen in the country, and the weapon casting technology is famous in China. We want to build a well-equipped and well-trained elite division! ”

Gou Jian read it word by word, and then savored it for a long time, patted the wooden case with his right hand, and praised: "It's really a whimsical idea, a good plan, a good plan!" ”

This is Shi Fengyi who heard the sound and saw Gou Jian pacing in the hall, and asked, "The concubine heard a strange noise just now, for some reason?" ”

Gou Jian couldn't help nodding, muttered to himself for a while, turned his head to Feng Yi in the courtyard and said, "It's nothing!" Can Ai Ji go to the market tomorrow to find a pig gall for the widow, the widow is useful. ”

Feng Yi was surprised: "What is the use of the king asking for this pig gall? ”

"Pig gall tastes bitter, and the widow will hang it in his permanent place and taste it every day. The widow can't forget the suffering of the past, isn't the life we live in Wu much more bitter than that pig gall? ”

"The king's house is in a humble room, his pillow is paid, his servants are reduced, and his subjects are coarse and vegetarian, and his subjects already know the king's efforts. Why should the king? ”

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! Does Aiki understand? After the subjects know about it, what kind of effect will it receive? ”

Feng Yi suddenly realized: "The concubine will prepare by herself." The king is a promising king, and he is naturally extraordinary. ”

Feng Yi went to the kitchen and came out in less than half an hour, holding a small bunch of grass in her hand, wet, and it seemed that she had just cleaned it.

Feng Yi walked into the main hall, handed the bundle of grass to Gou Jian, and said, "This houttuynia cordata concubine has been washed, it is clean, the king chew it." ”

Gou Jian took the houttuynia cordata, and also felt funny, and said, "Won't the widow become a cow or sheep?" I have to chew this grass every day. Fan Li is hateful, and he actually found this grass, saying that it can get rid of bad breath. The widow has eaten these days, what does Aiki think? ”

"The king is much better! According to the concubines, above the court of our country, General Fan Li can be described as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. He knew astronomy, understood geography, could lead an army in formation, and could take the rank of general among all the armies. Even these pharmacological home remedies, he also knows that they are really the pillars of the country! ”

Gou Jian was sick because he tasted feces for King Wu when he was in the Kingdom of Wu, so he fell ill with bad breath. After returning to China, Fan Li found this Houttuynia cordata after some exploration, which can remove the smell, so Feng Yi has to supervise Gou Jian to chew this grass every day.

This shame is unforgettable and painful. Get rid of bad breath and get rid of shame! All of them will serve this purpose.

Gou Jian nodded, pondered for a long time, and said: "The widow also received a literary revenge seven techniques today, this is really a strange story!" The widow has Fan Li, and the literature has a kind of literature, so what can't be done! ”

"What about Yizheng? Why didn't the widow see Yizheng? Gou Jian remembered the child who was taken in from the palace gate. This guy is smart and clever, although he lives on the street, he is now following him into the palace, and he handed him over to Feng Yi at that time, and told Feng Yi to take good care of him and raise him as an adult.

"The concubine thought that this kid was smart and clever, so she handed him over to the prince, and asked Yizheng to accompany the prince to study, and if he became a talent in the future, he could be the prince's right-hand man."

Gou Jian nodded and sighed: "Madame has arranged it very properly. Yi Zheng is an orphan, and the widow always thinks that he wonders how many children in my country are in a similar situation to him? In the first war of Wu and Yue, there were thousands of families who lost their sons, husbands, and fathers? ”

Feng Yi's eyes turned red, and she said, "The concubines see that there are many stray children in the market. It is better for the concubines to take them in one by one and raise them to adulthood. ”

"It's fine, but it's not enough for Madame alone. Tomorrow, the widow will issue an edict to set up shelters in various places to raise these orphans. What we lack most now is the population, and after our defeat, there are few men, and the population has suffered heavy losses. ”

Since then, Gou Jian has no meat to eat, and no clothes are harvested; Living in a humble room, lying on the salary and tasting gall; Determined to build the declining country of Vietnam into a powerful country. And the seven techniques of revenge proposed by the text will also be unfolded one by one, in the end, who will kill the deer, and look at the next volume of "The Loyal Soul of Suicide with Anger".
