Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lying on Salary and Tasting Courage
"The king, the minister has admired the king for a long time, and he just can't wait to see the true face of the king. I want to serve the king in this life. Gou Jian showed a different posture from the usual sage, like those so-called traitors. The loyal ministers of the Yue Kingdom all scolded Gou Jian and scolded him for being a white-eyed wolf.
Gou Jian coaxed his husband to be happy, and gave Gou Jian the Yuyao and the two cities of Yongdong that were not captured.
Although the city was sealed to Gou Jian, Ke Fucha did not fully believe him, so he took him back to Wu, and Gou Jian entrusted the national affairs of the remnants of Yue to Wen Chong before leaving, and took his wife to Wu State. When Gou Jian arrived in Wu State, the husband sent them to live in a stone house next to the big tomb in Helu, and asked Gou Jian to feed him horses. Every day he does the same work as a slave. Every time the husband went out in the car, Gou Jian pulled a horse for him, and once the husband was sick, Gou Jian went to taste the production of the husband in order to please the husband, and discussed how it tasted. Of course, that's all for later. After more than a month like this, the husband thought that Gou Jian was truly obedient to him, so he let Gou Jian return to China.
After Gou Jian returned to Yueguo, he was determined to take revenge. Fearing that the comfort in front of him would wear down his ambition, he hung a bitter gall in the place where he ate, and whenever he ate, he tasted the bitterness first, and asked himself, "Have you forgotten the shame of Huiji?" He also removed the mats and used firewood and grass as mattresses. This is the "lying salary and tasting the gall" recited by later generations.
Gou Jian decided to make the country rich and strong, while recruiting good people to harvest Fan Li, let Fan Li give him advice, while he personally participated in the cultivation and asked his wife to weave cloth by herself to encourage production. Because the Yue country suffered the disaster of the country's demise, the population was greatly reduced, and he formulated a system of rewarding childbirth. He asked Wen Chong to manage national affairs, and Fan Li to train people, and he humbly listened to the opinions of others to help the poor people. The people of the whole country are eager to do more to transform this oppressed country into a powerful country.
And during the Wu-Yue War, other countries were licking their wounds or digesting their post-war fruits. At this time, the Han State went through the successive migrations and summoning populations of the Qi State, coupled with the support of domestic policies to encourage childbirth. At present, according to Xun Yu's statistics, the population in the territory is more than 4 million. At present, there are five counties, and 20,000 county soldiers are stationed in each county, and they are responsible for the city defense drills and the tuntian. Wu Qi has 100,000 soldiers under his account, and is currently stationed in Qinghe County to guard against the Qi State. On the one hand, let the Han State consolidate most of the territory of Julu County and Qinghe County. Zhou Yu raised 50,000 recruits. The total number of soldiers in the country is 250,000. There were still 300,000 left in the Qi State, and more than half of the troops had been lost. Yan was the worst, Tian Dan's fire bull formation caused the loss of its main army, and there were still 100,000 second-line troops left. And the court of the Qin State also quarreled, and there was a lot of trouble in fighting the three Jin and attacking Bashu. Sima Cuo, Wang Qian, and Zhu Liji advocated attacking Bashu, gaining countless fertile fields and expanding the country's war potential. Bai Qi, Gan Mao, and Wei Ran advocated cutting down the Three Jin Dynasty and cutting off the Three Jin Dynasty, and if they did not take the Central Plains, they would never be able to dominate, and if the Three Jin Dynasty were not destroyed, the Qin State would fall into a never-ending beating. And Sanjin is also a country with a very large population.
In December of the first year of Hanxing, all the princes of the world entered a state of truce, and the lives of the people also returned to peace. In the palace of the Han Kingdom, Prince Jin was walking back and forth, showing his anxiety. I don't know what awaits me. There are also Xun Yu and Liu Ji next to him. The two looked at each other, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. "Lord, don't be anxious, it's useless to be anxious about this matter, we are also from here. Just wait with peace of mind," the two of them persuaded each other. Wang Zijin glared at the two, this is a typical standing and talking without backache. He didn't believe that his wife was so calm when she gave birth. At this time, a woman ran out of the delivery room, and there were still blood stains on her hands.
"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the king has given birth, the mother and son are safe, and the lady has given birth to a son. Hearing this news, everyone outside reacted with a smile. Wang Zijin mainly heard that the mother and son were safe, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. After all, in ancient times, the level of medical care was really not very high, and it was often accompanied by dystocia, or one of the two. When the ministers of the Han Kingdom learned of this news, they all sighed that the lord had a queen, and if the lord died unfortunately, there would be someone to inherit.
"Hahaha, okay, thank you for your hard work, go get the reward. After speaking, let the next person take her to receive the reward. The midwife thanked her again and again and was overjoyed.
Then another midwife came out with a big fat boy in her arms. Looking at this little guy with dark red skin, a little hard hand skin, and still moving around with his eyes closed, at this moment, Wang Zijin felt a little connected by blood. From then on, I will also be a father, and I will also be a father. In addition, he was a little inexplicably panicked, he was afraid that he would not be able to give this little guy a happy life. In the troubled times, no one can guarantee that he will be the winner, after all, he is facing Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Lian Po, and Sun Wu are all super fierce generals. This does not include Tian Dan, Le Yi, Zhao Hao, Xiang Yu, etc. Maybe because in the face of these celebrities, Prince Jin has been under great pressure in his heart. Now I have to face it again, for the sake of my children's future, I can't lose.
came to the bedside of Yu Yue and looked at her pale face, and there was still undried sweat on her forehead. When he saw his husband coming, he wanted to get up and salute, but the wound was too painful to get up. Wang Zijin hurriedly helped her to the bed, and Yu Yue, who took the child from the midwife, looked at the child in her arms with a smile.
"Thank you, Yue'er. Wang Zijin touched Fei Yue's cheek. While Gou Jian was busy serving his husband, Wang Zijin was living a happy life. While dealing with military and political affairs, he teased his children.
Recently, Li Yuanfang, who was in charge of intelligence, came to the news that Liu Bang actually served in Shu, and Wang Yanzhang was also recruited by Wei, Lu Xun was recommended to King Han by Han Feizi of South Korea, and Ao Bai was recruited by Yan State. After several months of exploration, none of the five people who entered the chaos were recruited, and I was fortunate to have lost my life, and Prince Jin also saw it. Single-mindedly developing armaments, knives, hoarding grain and grass. Prepare for the next year's Battle of the Spring to expand your territory.
Recently, I have been discussing with Liu Ji and Xun Yu, and I have also asked Zhou Yu's opinion, and after a long discussion, it is agreed that the next time the Han Kingdom wants to dominate the industry, it must first destroy Beiyan, otherwise the fire in the backyard cannot be avoided. After the capture of Yan, most of the territory of Han was transferred from the frontier to the hinterland. This will ensure better and more stable development, and avoid the city that has just started to develop after the war will be reduced to ruins.
