Chapter 1096 Rise and Fall 8
The momentum of the Chu State and the Yue State is very huge, the two countries have become the hegemon, and the Qin State began to decline, after the Chu State annexed a large amount of Lu land, although it stopped, the world began to return to normal.
The dispute between Jin and Yan has also stopped, and a short period of stability has begun to appear in the world, and the kings and princes of various countries have begun to meet and buy time through some negotiations.
Everyone knows that this is only temporary, peace, and one day, these vassal states will fight for the hegemony of the world.
Fan Li saw this in the peaceful period, and after making the cloth into a beautiful costume, he presented it to the princes of various countries, and was completely doing a loss-making business.
Cao Rang was anxious, he had been losing money for more than a year, and Fan Li did everything he did with the best cloth, with the best tailors, and some gold wires on it, which was not ordinarily high.
But with the passage of time, the business of the cloth village began to improve, and there were constantly some rich and noble people patronizing, and more and more, and now it is in the stage of interaction between countries, and the banquets in the palace are naturally indispensable.
In order to show the strength of his country, the beautiful Chinese clothes have become one of the means of interaction, and the Cao family's business has come alive again.
"Xian'er, do you have anything on your mind?"
In the lecture one day, Fan Li saw that Zhuang Xian was absent-minded, and he also knew very well what was going on, the current Cao State, because of some things, and the Wei State next to him, had a dispute and was at war, and Zhuang Xian's best friend, Yin Youchen, had already gone to the battlefield.
"What do you think of Youchen, how is the force?"
Zhuang Xian raised his head and bowed.
"Teacher, Youchen's force is above me."
At this time, Zhuang Xian was 20 years old and very strong, he would practice boxing every day and constantly exercise his body.
"Then rest assured, Xian'er, Youchen is a member of the Yin family, and on the battlefield, the force is not bad, and it will be fine."
Although Fan Li said so, but in his heart, he didn't think so, he was a little worried, Yin Youchen likes to behave, not restrained at all, several times in class, he even had disputes with Fan Li about some issues.
This is what Fan Li is most worried about, in his temperament, he is a person who likes to perform and wants to get a reward.
However, at this time, a news came back that the second son of the Yin family, General Yin Ji, died on the battlefield in the battle with Wei.
This kind of war between small countries, those big countries, will not give any help, but will be a cold bystander, Cao Yingong repeatedly hoped that Yan State could send troops, but Wu Anjun, the monarch of Yan State, refused Cao Yingong's request on the grounds that there were no troops to send.
The army of Wei has been stationed in the city of Cao, and Cao Yingong can't sit still, he keeps asking for help, but there is no way at all.
At this time, a guy named Jian Dafu appeared in the court, he lobbied the Wei State, and then persuaded Cao Yingong not to resist anymore, cut out a part of the land, and let the Wei State withdraw its troops.
This approach has worked, and Wei Guo will accept it when he sees it, but Fan Li is helpless, he knows very well what Wu Anjun of Yan State thinks, but it is too late, because for the sake of the Cao family's business, Fan Li has no kung fu, and personally went to Cao Yingong's side to persuade him.
The Yin family was implicated, the title was deprived, the land was recovered, and the family property was inventoried, and this doctor was Jian Hai, who said that the defeat in this war was completely caused by General Yin Ji.
Overnight, the Yin family was reduced to a commoner in Dingtao, and everything was recycled, and their family could only move their family to live in a deserted village outside the city.
At this time, Yin Youchen also came back from the battlefield, Fan Li immediately took Zhuang Xian to the Yin family, and the Zhuang family, for this time, stayed out of the matter, without the slightest pity, as if he was afraid of being burned.
went to the Yin family, which had declined, Zhuang Xian cried, Yin Youchen had an arrow in his left eye, although he had pulled out the arrow, but he was blind in his left eye, dying, Yin Yuanhui was heartbroken.
And Yin Youchen, who was dying, told the truth of the matter, someone sold the movement of Yin Ji's army, and Cao Guo's army was ambushed, and the result was defeated, and the one who told this thing was Jian Hai.
Fan Li immediately understood, why did this happen, this Jianhai, although he didn't have any real talent, but his ability to see the wind and rudder was very strong, and he was also a strategist.
I am afraid that when the dispute between Cao and Wei began, Jian Hai went to Wei and offered a strategy with the monarch of Wei, and after he returned to Cao, he entered Cao Yingong's side with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he was afraid that he had already been confident about the war.
This trick is really powerful, making himself a close confidant of Cao Yingong, and letting Wei Guo get cheap, but Fan Li is very helpless.
He knew very well that although Yan Guo did not plan to send troops on the surface, he was afraid that he wanted to catch them all, although Wu Anjun was indifferent on the surface, I am afraid that what he wanted was to let Wei go deeper, and then take down Cao and Wei in one fell swoop in front of those big countries for legitimate reasons.
The lonely Yin family has completely lost any chance to turn over, and life is very hard, Fan Li continues to help them, and also takes Yin Youchen to his home to recuperate with peace of mind, but Yin Youchen has always been extremely angry about all this.
Fan Li had already told him what had happened, which made Yin Youchen even more angry.
"Teacher, why do you want to tell Youchen about it, aren't you adding fuel to his fire?"
Fan Li nodded.
"Xian'er, if you can't know these things clearly, I'm afraid the resentment in my heart will be even greater."
Fan Li took Zhuang Xian and looked at Yin Youchen by the bedside, looking extremely sad.
"Youchen, the Yin family will not change in any way because of this, you just need to remember one thing, have you heard the story of King Goujian? As a teacher, I will help you. ”
The Yin family was deprived of the title, as well as all the privileges of the nobles, as commoners, they could not do business, only farming, and the deserted village outside the Tao City, the land was extremely barren, the Yin family was up and down, the old and the young, and the living conditions were extremely poor.
And Fan Li helped him several times, but he stopped Luo very much, if he did this, Fan Li himself would get into trouble, and the Yin family had already been designated as sinners.
In desperation, Fan Li thought of a way, hired a large number of workers, announced to the outside world, planned to carry out agriculture, and went to the deserted village where the Yin family was located, and searched for water sources everywhere.
Yin Youchen's condition has improved, and his originally handsome cheeks, which will be blind in one eye, have been ridiculed by the people in the city, and because it is a common people's relationship, some families who were dissatisfied with the Yin family in the past began to mock the Yin family.
With the help of Fan Li, the land in the deserted village has been improved, the Yin family has also lived a little better, some vegetables can still be sold in the city, and Yin Youchen's injury is also healed, he will pick up vegetables and sell them in the city every few days.
often bullied the people in the city, and several times, it was Fan Li who came forward to break the siege.
Now Jian Hai has become a big celebrity around Cao Yin Gong, Zhuang Neng came to Fan Li's house several times, hoping that Fan Li would offer a plan to solve Jian Hai, Zhuang had sent people several times to assassinate, but Fan Li avoided it.
And Cao Yingong also sent more people to protect Jian Hai, the dealer is like an ant on a hot pot, under the proposal of Jian Hai, Cao Yin Gong intends to favor Qi and Lu.
Therefore, the Zhuang family, so anxious, the king of Chu sent people many times, hoping that the Zhuang family would find a way to let Cao Yin Gong belong to the Chu State, so that the Chu State could legitimately march into the army, and the Lu State could no longer pose a threat, in the last dispute between the Chu State and the Lu State, the Lu State had been greatly damaged, and the Qi State could not be left alone, and suffered together.
Now is the best time, but there is a guy like Jian Hai, which makes the dealer a headache, and Jian Hai, even in the palace, has cultivated his own power, watching Jian Hai grow day by day, the dealer can't sit still.
But Fan Li said that when things always take a turn for the better, what Jian Hai did was just to help Cao Yingong tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
Cao Yingong is so wavering, Yan Guo is bound to do something to Cao Guo, one day, Fan Li made a certain decision, put his family wealth, a one-time bet, with Yin Yuanhui.
As soon as this news spread in the city, it attracted the attention of countless people, and everyone was still unclear, when something happened, Fan Li lost to Yin Yuanhui, and his family property was all sold and given to the Yin family.
However, the day after the sale of the family property, an order came down, and Fan Li was charged with selling weapons to Yan Guo and making weapons without permission.
It was Jian Hai, Fan Li had already thought of it, that day, Jian Hai came to Dingtao with the army, arrogant, planning to humiliate Fan Li in front of the whole city, however, his hopes were disappointed.
After learning that Fan Li had lost all his family property in a gamble with Yin Yuanhui, he was so angry that he jumped up and down.
At this time, the people of Quanding Tao were also extremely resentful of this courtier, and the Yin family and Fan Li, for the people of Dingtao, were the great good families, and they had no choice but to go back.
And the Yin family, all they have is money, rice and grain, and they don't have any business, and they don't violate any bottom line, and they can't do anything about it, plus the rich armor in the Dingtao area is trying to obstruct it, this matter, many people in the court are saying that if Cao Yingong does this, it will make the people of the whole world sad, and the driving force behind all this is the banker.
