Chapter 176 God of Wealth Fan Li
"Guan Zhong has a desire to survive. He only cares about life and death. He doesn't care about winning the battle. Survival is the most important, so it doesn't matter whether he fights or not."

"Every time Guan Zhong felt that his side would lose during the war, so he ran away for his life in advance, but it turned out that their side did not lose, so he came back and was scolded."

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

"This is the reason why Guan Zhong is a coward. Another point is that when the young master on the side failed, almost all his old teammates were willing to die, but he would rather live as a prisoner."

"Why does Duke Huan of Qi still reuse such a person? This is about Guan Zhong's confidant Bao Shuya. This is because Bao Shuya, the favorite of Duke Huan of Qi, strongly recommended him to Duke Huan of Qi, because Bao Shuya knew that he was fired because of Guan Zhong's lack of ability. , but because he has not met the Ming Lord, and he is greedy for life and fear death just so that his old mother and friend can be supported, and he is willing to be a prisoner because he wants to make a comeback in the future."

"And Guan Zhong's ability later did not disappoint him. It can be seen that although Bao Shuya is not particularly outstanding in his own talents, he is very understanding in recognizing and employing people. Therefore, Guan Zhong also said in the future, "I am born. My parents are my parents, and my uncle Ya is the one who knows me. ""

"This whitewash seems to everyone to have a filter. I was driven away by the monarch three times. You can say that you have never met the Mingjun. The last two items are indeed a bit wordy. There are several soldiers who have good family backgrounds, and Among so many dynasties, there were many Liezi who failed in their positions. All this whitewashing makes people feel uncomfortable. However, we should also thank Bao Shuya for sparing Guan Zhong's life, which is why Guan Zhong's reform came about."

"The rewards are now one solid elixir, five small return elixirs, a secluded courtyard, and 1000 taels of gold."

Li Longji: Hey~ why are the rewards different?And gold?
Cao Cao: What's the use of giving him those rewards for a deserter like this? It's not trivial. It's unrealistic to say that he entered the martial arts temple.

Li Xin: It's a good thing to have rewards. Everyone can see it and what they said is right. Bao Shuya was too deep into Guan Zhong's filter. We all agree with what he did. He shouldn't have entered the martial arts temple even if he had great reforms.

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

"Everyone knows in their hearts that the rewards for the next three are definitely different. You don't want to recognize the Martial Arts Temple of the Song Dynasty, and why do I want to recognize it? This Martial Arts Temple is indeed in ruins, but it fell into chaos in the Song Dynasty."

"Let's continue talking about the second Fan Li. This one is also a business-sensitive person and is called the "Shang Sage." You may not understand it, but later generations also worship him as the God of Wealth, and he is the most famous and the story of Xi Tzu.”

"Fan Li (lǐ), courtesy name Shaobo, Han nationality, was born in Sanhu, Wandi, Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous statesman, military strategist and economist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was revered as the "Shang Sage" and the "Five Sages of Nanyang" by later generations. "one."

"Although he came from a poor background, he was knowledgeable and talented. He knew and had a close relationship with Chu Wanling Wen Zhong."

"Because they were dissatisfied with the political darkness of the Chu State at that time and non-nobles were not allowed to join the officialdom, they defected to the Yue State together and assisted Gou Jian of the Yue State."

"During this period, he became extremely rich through business three times and lost his family wealth three times. He named himself Tao Zhu Gong and was praised by the world as: "Loyalty to the country; wisdom to protect one's life; business to get rich and become famous all over the world. "Many businessmen in later generations worshiped 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. Let me first tell the love story of the two."

"In the third year of King Gou Jian of Yue, Gou Jian heard that King Wu sent his troops day and night to prepare troops and horses to attack Yue."

"Gou Jian refused to listen to Fan Li's dissuasion and decided to strike first. As a result, the Wu army overthrew his capital, Kuaiji. He was about to be destroyed by the Wu army. Fan Li suggested that Gou Jian ask Fucha for peace."

"At first the King of Wu refused, but later Wen Zhong bribed Bo Pi, a close minister of the King of Wu, and was allowed on the condition that Gou Jian and his wife went to Wu as slaves. Fan Li voluntarily followed the Gou Jian and his wife to the State of Wu, and was demoted to be a horse slave, responsible for providing The King of Wu raises horses.”

"In the fifth year of King Goujian of Yue, King Wu pardoned Goujian, and Fan Li was able to follow Goujian back to his country. When passing by Zhuluo Village, Fan Li saw Xishi for the first time and was immediately shocked."

"Soon, Gou Jian adopted the seven techniques to destroy Wu proposed by Wen Zhong. The third technique was the "beauty trap". He sent beautiful women to King Wu Fu Chai to confuse Fu Chai's will. Gou Jian gave the job of selecting beautiful women to Fan Li."

"After receiving the order, Fan Li immediately went to visit beauties across the country, and finally met Xi Shi again in Zhuluo Village. Fan Li told Xi Shi that he came to Zhuluo Village this time to recruit you and Zheng Dan to Wu Kingdom to implement a beauty trap. .”

"After hearing this, Xi Shi replied calmly: "The country does not belong to the king alone, but to everyone. Now that the country is in danger, everyone should share the king's worries and solve his problems.Although I cannot be a great hero like General Fan, I still want to do my best. ""

""A weak woman can understand the righteousness so deeply that she willingly goes to Wu to serve the country regardless of personal honor or disgrace. "Fan Li was very moved after hearing this."

"Then he stayed for a few days to let Xi Shi say his final farewell to his family. The temporary relationship made his mood change again. He should not exchange a kind and innocent life for bloody success."

"Facing the innocent Xi Shi, he once thought about giving up. This was the first time in his life that he wavered in his decision. What Fan Li didn't realize was that this brief encounter made the two of them have feelings for each other. Got a good impression."

"Subsequently, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan came to Kuaiji City and settled down in a small earth city next to the palace. There were professional teachers here who taught singing and dancing. After learning the singing and dancing, Fan Li came to teach Wu language. During the period of learning Wu language, Xi Shi In order to spend more time with Fan Li, I deliberately stumbled when speaking Wu dialect."

"When the time to go to Wu was approaching, Fan Li was urged by Yue King Gou Jian, and Xi Shi expressed his thoughts: "From the time you came to teach me Wu language, I knew that the day to go to Wu was not far away. The reason why I delayed was because I wanted to go to Wu. Increase the time I spend with you. I am afraid that when I come to Wu State in the future, there will be endless years of loneliness. I am afraid that I will not be able to endure it, so I hope that I will try my best to leave myself as many good memories as possible, which can help me move forward. Draw more strength from these memories... Am I stupid for doing this? ""
