For a few days, Fan Li lived in the Cao family, and the Cao family also held a grand celebration for several days, and the guests were full every day, Cao Yuan was very happy, these days, he would sit at a table with Yin Yuanhui every day, and the grievances between the two families over the years were immediately resolved.

Next is the dealer, the head of the dealer, Zhuang Neng, always refuses to let go, no matter what Fan Li says, he has pushed away for various reasons, Fan Li has some skills poor.

In Fan Li's observation for a few days, he found that Zhuang Neng loved his silly little son Zhuang Xian very much, the first day because Zhuang Xian ate too many peaches, and pulled and vomited at night, Fan Li's henchmen clearly saw that Zhuang Neng carried Zhuang Xian on his back, went to the doctor's house, prescribed medicine, and kept watch until dawn before going home.

Fan Li knows very well that this Zhuang Xian is Zhuang Neng's deceased wife, and he left it to him, and in his life, the most loved is his deceased wife, so he also loves this child who has no talent and is silly and silly.

At this time, during the banquet, there was a person talking loudly, what he said, so that the guests present nodded and praised, this person is a distant relative of the Cao family, Jian Hai, he was in the Jin Kingdom before, because of family problems, so he came here to take refuge, and he just arrived yesterday.

Fan Li's face was a little unhappy, he always had a hostility towards this room, this person seemed to be upright, polite, and humble and polite, what he said, not exaggerated at all, the content was very attractive, he said a lot of strange things, but Fan Li always had a great prejudice against this guy.

Although Fan Li has always turned a blind eye to Cao Rang and Cao Ting, the two brothers, but since yesterday, after the Hai came, Fan Li felt that something was wrong, especially the Hai, after finding the brothers and talking about it, the brothers completely changed.

Before the two brothers, from time to time to find some trouble for Fan Li, on the day of the wedding, they also continued to pour Fan Li wine, the intention was obvious, they wanted Fan Li to get drunk, and then make a fool of themselves, fortunately, there was Cao Yuan, which stopped the behavior of the two brothers.

And what Jian Hai and the brothers said, he probably guessed, it is the problem of family property, and now Cao Yuan has focused on himself, hoping that when he is old, he can take up the business of the Cao family, after all, in the future, Fan Li's wife and child will also be surnamed Cao.

At this point, Cao Yuan is very relieved, because the two sons, all kinds of things on weekdays, make Cao Yuan heartbroken, he always feels that sooner or later, the two sons will lose the foundation of the Cao family and destroy the reputation of the ancestors of the Cao family.

Everything was as Fan Li expected, Cao Rang and Cao Ting no longer acted nonsense, but began to become humble, and they didn't come to him for trouble, Cao Yuan once thought that these two sons were sick.

Sitting behind the scenes, it is Jian Hai who manipulates all this, sometimes when the two sons show their feet, Jian Hai will immediately mix in from the side, and make some rhetoric, so that others' impression of the two sons of the Cao family will change.

After the guests dispersed, Fan Li began to ask his henchmen, as early as the day he came, Fan Li sent his cronies to investigate in person, but he couldn't find out the origin of this guy, and I'm afraid only Cao Yuan is clear, Fan Li has tried several times, want to ask, but Cao Yuan never let go, and basically, for the origin of the Hai, he didn't say a word, Fan Li also understood, Cao Yuan didn't want the Hai, to let people know the origin.

In Jian Hai's eyes, Fan Li can always perceive everything that a strategist should have, and he knows very well that the origin of this guy is not simple.

A week later, Fan Li took his wife home, and when he went back, he found that the servants at home were repairing a lot of damaged homes, and most of them complained about Wu Zheng.

But Fan Li didn't say a word of blame.

"Mr. Wu Zheng, dare to ask ........"

"You have to be careful recently, no matter how much I can help you seal the things inside, there are some bad things that have already come out, I'm afraid it will affect your luck."

Fan Li smiled, he believed very much in what Wu Zheng said, but he began to think of his own way out.

The two sons of the Cao family became well-behaved, and the two sons began to help Cao Yuan take care of the business, and even when he went out to deliver pottery, he would go there in person, and some of them became orderly.

Cao Yuan was surprised at first, then relieved, and then happy, the relationship between him and Jian Hai was also closer, and when he came to Fan Li, he also praised Jian Hai for his strength, and managed his two sons obediently.

The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, this is the case, Fan Li knows this very well, he secretly sent people to go out with the two sons of the Cao family, everything is pretended in front of Cao Yuan.

I don't know why, the matter between the dealer and the Cao family has been solved by Jian Hai.

Cao Yuan's previous idea of handing over the family business to Fan Li was also completely destroyed.

At this time, Fan Li's business was also doing well, and it was already ranked fourth in the Dingtao area.

Fan Li gradually felt that he was isolated and helpless, although he would talk to Yin Yuanhui from time to time, but only to the extent of friends, he could not rashly ask Yin Yuanhui for help, because someone was already secretly beginning to destroy the trade system set up by Fan Li.

Before, the crops in the small basin, as soon as they were ripe, would be pulled over to Fan Li's side, but now, the amount has decreased, and until the last few days, they have not been sent at all.

Many of the customers of Fan Li's shop before were impatient to wait, but some small shops sold fresh food, and their business recovered a lot.

Although Cao Yuan has changed his attitude towards his two sons and has begun to teach them things, Cao Yuan still runs towards Fan Li every once in a while, and he is not a fool, he has already seen some clues.

Fan Li did not take this matter to heart, but launched a measure, a large number of purchase of rice grain, the disaster has passed, and Fan Li purchased rice grain, the quality is also uneven, over time, there is a backlog of a large amount of food.

And spring is about to begin, but Fan Li has done such a thing, and in order to be able to concentrate and get enough, Fan Li even raised the price and collected rice and grain.

Moreover, Fan Li also gathered the boatmen next to the main waterways in the Dingtao area, hired them, and asked them to prepare and be on call.

Many people were puzzled by everything about Fan Li, and even Jian Hai felt strange, and he couldn't guess what Fan Li wanted to do.

Cao Yuan was anxious, for fear that his son-in-law would lose all his money.

"I said you, hoarding so much food, aren't you afraid of losing?"

At night, Wu Zheng asked Fan Li, but Fan Li smiled.

"Mr. Wu, with your magical powers, I'm afraid it's already been calculated."

Wu Zheng nodded and laughed.

"There is indeed a bad omen in the East, it seems that I am afraid that there will be a war."

Fan Li nodded, he was in the world of Dingtao, in order to be able to see the six roads, ears to listen to the eight directions, Fan Li cultivated a lot of spies, from time to time will bring him the news of the world.

Chu has long had the intention of annexing the poor and weak Lu State, although there is Qi State as the backing of Lu State, but if it really fights, Chu State is closest to Lu State, and when Qi State comes to support, most of Lu State has already fallen.

And the State of Qi also has to pay attention to the threat from the State of Jin next to it, and the doppelganger lacks skills, although the materials of the State of Qi are relatively rich, while the State of Lu is relatively weak, and the State of Chu is now powerful, sooner or later it will want to annex the State of Lu, and then attack the State of Qi.

Fan Li knew very well that the State of Chu would definitely make a move in the near future.

The reason is that in the autumn, Gou Jian fell ill, and after the annexation of Wu, it was difficult to consolidate the foundation in a short period of time.

After destroying the state of Wu, Gou Jian's self-confidence swelled, and he wanted to take the state of Chu to open the knife, but it was Fan Li who tried his best to dissuade Gou Jian, and analyzed the situation in the world for Gou Jian, Gou Jian nodded in agreement, and according to Fan Li's policy, in effective practice.

These tiger and wolf divisions of Chu have long coveted Lu State, King Chu Zhao dreamed of swallowing Lu State, and now Gou Jian has just annexed Wu State, and the foundation is unstable, it is a good opportunity to go north, with a king like King Chu Zhao, he will not miss this opportunity.

Fan Li is still accumulating food, and a lot of food, at most, can only be put in the summer, and it will be spoiled.

With the advent of the spring season, a news came from the east that the army of Chu had assembled and invaded the border of Lu, and the kings of Qi and Lu could no longer sit still and were ready to fight back.

At this time, everyone suddenly woke up, for Fan Li's intention to hoard grain, because Dingtao land and water routes are very developed, it is easy to transport grain to Qi and Lu countries.

Immediately, the grain that Fan Li had hoarded began to be loaded on ships, loaded into trucks, and marched towards Qilu and Qi by land and water.

This large amount of grain is like a lifesaver for the two countries of Qi and Lu, and even Cao Yingong praised Fan Li, because of this matter, Cao Yingong was also summoned by the King of Qi.

And Fan Li didn't ask for much money, but barter, he asked for a lot of fur trees, and farm tools and the like, and began to sell these farm tools and timber at a suitable price, through the pottery, to the merchants of Jin and Yan in the west.

Tightly in the summer, Fan Li has already made a lot of money, and has become a rich man who can go hand in hand with the Yin family in Dingtao, and Fan Li also gave the Yin family a few good big business, Yin Yuanhui was very happy, and invited Fan Li to be a guest at his home.
