Chapter 176 Fan Li, God of Wealth

"Guan Zhong has a desire to survive, he only cares about life and death, he doesn't care whether he wins the war or not, whether he can survive is the biggest, so it doesn't matter if he fights or not."

"Guan Zhong felt that their side would lose every time he was fighting, so he fled for his life in advance, but the result was that their side did not lose, so he came back and was scolded."

"Guan Zhong said to the people above that he would never be a deserter in the future, he would definitely stick to the battlefield in the future and would not let them down, so he let Guan Zhong stay, but in the next battle, Guan Zhong still became a deserter."

"This is the reason why Guan Zhong is a wreck, and another point is that when the son on the side failed, almost all of his old teammates were determined to die, but he would rather live as a prisoner."

"Such a person, why does Qi Huan Gong still reuse him? This is to say that Guan Zhong's confidant Bao Shuya, this is because Qi Huangong's favorite minister Bao Shuya strongly recommended him to Qi Huangong, because Bao Shuya knew that being fired was not because he was not capable enough to manage Zhong, but because he didn't meet the Ming Lord, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death just for his elderly mother and friends to be supported, and he was willing to be a prisoner in order to beg him to make a comeback. ”

And later Guan Zhong's ability did not disappoint him, which shows that although Uncle Bao's own talent is not particularly outstanding, he is very understanding in terms of knowing and employing people, so in the future, Guan Zhong also said, "The parents of those who gave birth to me are also, and the uncle of those who know me is also." ””

"This whitewashing seems to everyone to have a filter, three times was driven away by the monarch, you can say that you didn't meet Mingjun, the latter two are indeed a bit worded, and a few of the people who are soldiers are in good family situations, and after the failure of the position, there are many columns in so many dynasties, all this whitewashing, people feel uncomfortable, but we should also thank Uncle Bao for sparing Guan Zhong's life, so there is Guan Zhong's change."

"A reward of solid pills, five small pills, a small courtyard, and a thousand taels of gold are now distributed."

Li Longji: Hey~ Why is this reward different? And gold?

Cao Cao: What's the use of giving him those rewards for this kind of deserter, this is not small, and it is not true to say that he entered the martial temple.

Li Xin: It's a good thing to have a reward, everyone can see it, and what they said is right, Uncle Bao's filter is too deep for Guan Zhong, we don't agree with what he did, and he shouldn't enter the martial arts temple if he changes the law well.

Wei Qing: Although many people think that Guan Zhong's approach is wise, there is no need for deserters on the battlefield, and the officialdom will not like this kind of person who can be reassigned at any time.

"Everyone also understands in their hearts, the rewards of the latter three must be different, you don't want to recognize the martial arts temple of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I want to admit it, this martial arts temple is indeed useless, and it is directly messed up in the Great Song Dynasty."

Let's continue to talk about the second Fan Li, this one is also a business-sensitive person, known as the "Shang Sheng", everyone may be puzzled, but later generations also worship him as the God of Wealth, and the most famous story of him and Xi Shi. ”

Fan Li (lǐ), the character Shaobo, Han nationality, was a native of Sanhuyi in Wandi of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was a famous politician, military strategist and economist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. It is revered by later generations as "Shang Sheng" and "one of the five saints of Nanyang". ”

"Although he came from a poor background, he is erudite and talented, and he knows Chu Wanling very well and has a deep relationship."

"Because he was dissatisfied with the political darkness of the Chu State at that time and the fact that non-nobles were not allowed to enter the country, they defected to the Yue State together and assisted the Yue State Goujian."

During this period, he became a wealthy man in business three times, scattered his family wealth, and called himself Tao Zhu Gong, and the world was known as "loyal to the country; Wisdom to protect oneself; Business to get rich and become famous all over the world. "Many businessmen in later generations worshipped his statue and called him the God of Wealth."

"I think everyone wants to know more about Fan Li's ability, and the story of him and Xi Shi, I will tell you the love story of the two first."

"Gou Jian, the king of Yue, has been in the third year, and Gou Jian heard that Wu Wangfu is preparing to attack Yue Guo day and night."

"Gou Jian didn't listen to Fan Li's dissuasion, and decided to strike first, but was pushed down by the Wu army, and the capital Huiji was pushed down by the Wu army, and it was about to be destroyed by the Wu army.

"At first, King Wu did not agree, but later Wen Chong bribed King Wu's close minister Bo Yao, and only on the condition that Gou Jian and his wife entered Wu as slaves, Fan Li voluntarily went to Wu with Gou Jian and his wife, and was demoted to a horse slave, specifically responsible for raising horses for King Wu."

"Yue Wang Goujian five years, King Wu pardoned Goujian, Fan Li was able to return to China with Goujian, when passing by Ramie Village, Fan Li saw Xi Shi for the first time, and was immediately shocked." ”

Soon, Gou Jian adopted the seven techniques proposed by the literary genre to destroy Wu, the third of which was the "beauty plan", and sent the beauties to Wu Wangfu to confuse the husband's mind, and Gou Jian handed over the selection of beauties to Fan Li. ”

"After Fan Li received the order, he immediately went to all parts of the country to visit the beauties, and finally saw Xi Shi again in Lario Village, Fan Li told Xi Shi that this time he came to Lario Village to recruit you and Zheng Dan to go to Wu to implement the beauty plan."

After hearing this, Xi Shi replied very calmly: "The country is not the king's alone, but everyone's, and now the country is in danger, and everyone should share the king's worries and solve the problems." Although I can't be a big hero like General Fan, I also want to do my part. ””

"A weak woman can understand the righteousness so well, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, she is willing to go to Wu to serve the country." Fan Li was very moved when he heard it. ”

"Then stay for a few days to let Xi Shi say his final goodbye to his family, and the temporary relationship has changed his mood again, and he should not exchange his kind and innocent life for bloody success."

"In the face of the innocent Xi Shi, he once thought about giving up, which was also the first time in his life that he wavered in his decision, what Fan Li didn't realize was that this short encounter made the two have a good impression of each other."

Subsequently, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan came to Huiji City and settled down in a small earthen city next to the palace, where professional teachers taught singing and dancing. After learning the song and dance, Fan Li came to teach Wu language, and during the learning of Wu language, Xi Shi deliberately stumbled in order to get along with Fan Li for more days. ”

When the time to go to Wu was approaching, Fan Li was urged by King Goujian of Yue, and Xi Shi showed his heart: "From the time you came to teach me Wu, I knew that the day of going to Wu was not far away, and the reason why I delayed was to increase the days with you, I was afraid that in the future, when I came to Wu, there would be boundless lonely years, and I was afraid that I would not be able to survive, so I hoped that I would try to leave myself a good memory, which could help me draw more strength from these memories...... Am I stupid like this? ””
