Spring and Autumn GL

Goujian cried bitterly for three whole days and nights before he vented his anger completely. Next, he was going to carry out his revenge plan.He ordered people to spread a layer of hay in his house, took the bed out and burned it. He slept on the hay every day, and hung a snake gall with a fishing line from the beam. Taste this gall and remind him that he still has a big revenge to avenge.

As soon as the King of Yue came back, Fan Li immediately started to rectify the court. It turned out that those mediocre talents who could only promise were cleared out of the court, and some smart and talented people were recruited and placed in important positions.In the past three years, Fan Li had already thought up the next strategy for governing the country, and reported to Goujian.After Goujian saw it, he was very satisfied.According to the meaning of the language, a temporary high platform was built, and a bulletin was issued to gather the people of the city under the high platform, and a speech was made on the high platform.

"The widow knows that in the past, when he was called a wise king, the people from all directions would come to him, just like water flowing downhill. Now the widow deeply feels that in the past, he raised troops and fought at every turn, which really brought benefits to the people. It’s not a small disaster, and it’s not considered a good monarch, so it distracts the hearts of the people. From now on, we will never fight again, and the widow will lead you to recuperate and seek common development with Wu, is that good?”

As soon as the words were finished, there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone knew that Gou Jian had suffered a great humiliation in Wu State, and they couldn't hold their heads up even if they were Yue people.At this time, I really want to hear Gou Jian say that he will lead the soldiers to fight back and fight to the death. Who knows that Gou Jian not only does not want to fight, but also seems to have no shame at all, and wants to seek common development with Wu.The common people began to look down on this monarch from the bottom of their hearts. Originally, the purpose of these words was to gather the hearts of the people, but it seemed that the people would have the heart to defect to other countries.

In fact, Goujian's words were not meant for the common people, but for Wu Guo, who was in Yue State, to listen carefully, to let them know that Yue State had no rebellion at all, and to dispel their guard.The detailed work is mixed among the common people, so it is natural to hear the complaints of the common people, not as sober as the ministers on the high platform.Seeing that the timing was about right, Wen Zhong hurriedly signaled Gou Jian to continue, and Gou Jian spoke again:

"From now on, everyone must put reproduction as the first priority. Young men are not allowed to marry old women, and young women are not allowed to marry old men. If a daughter is not married at the age of 17, the widow will punish her parents. Similarly, if a man has not married a wife until he is 20 years old, the widow will also punish his parents. If a boy is born, the widow will reward two jugs of wine and a dog; if a girl is born, the widow will reward two jugs of wine and a pig. For triplets, the widow will assign a nanny, and for twins, the widow will give an extra ration. If the eldest son dies unfortunately, the widow will be exempted from the family's tax for three years, and the widow will also be exempted from the tax for three months if the concubine dies. Widower If a widow or a sick person has children, the widow will be responsible for raising their children. In addition, the widow will also reduce taxes for ten years to make everyone happy. As long as you have more children, don’t think about it. Anything that rebels and takes revenge is the hero of our country.”

The common people made a commotion again, feeling that although this Goujian had no self-motivation, as a commoner, no matter which country he went to, what he wanted was comfort?Now it's better to continue to live in the country of Yue and enjoy ten years of happiness first.

The fine work in return to Fu Chai is naturally personal, as if King Goujian of Yue was willing to give up the army in order not to make Wu feel that Yue was a threat. With food and clothing, even if he raised his troops to attack the Central Plains, he didn't have to worry about the rear.

But Wu Zixu said:

"Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. The Yue Kingdom is a strategy to recuperate. It should be destroyed quickly while the Yue Kingdom is weak. Otherwise, it will become a big threat again after the Yue Kingdom regains its strength in a few years."

Bo Pi said: "I know that General Wu's heart is for the country and he is upright, but this statement is wrong. The king just let the king of Yue go back, but now he wants to attack the king. Isn't it to make the world laugh at his lack of credibility? Anyway, the country of Yue is weak now. Even if there is rebellion, there is no strength, not to mention that the rebellion is groundless and groundless. Your Majesty should turn his attention to Qi, and don't waste troops on the matter of Yue."

Wu Zixu was completely troubled, and said again:

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Dazai-sama's words, and you must not raise tigers for the sake of a little fame!"

Fu Chai frowned, wondering why the two were arguing again.Originally, what the two of them said was not unreasonable, but Wu Zixu's words were too harsh. Anyway, Bo Pi knew how to show Wu Zixu face, but Wu Zixu's eyebrows were so cold that he almost pointed at himself and Bo Pi's noses and scolded him!Comparing the words of the two, it is natural that Bo Pi's high-sounding and polite conversation sounds more admirable.

So Fu Chai shook his head, feeling that Wu Zixu's spirit was too small to be what a hero should be, so he decided not to listen to him.They were also veterans of the two dynasties, Bo Pi knew to think about Gou Jian for him, but this Wu Zixu was aggressive.Fu Chai had long been displeased with Wu Zixu, but because Wu Zixu had done so well in the war, it was not easy to refute his face, so he spoke nicely.Unexpectedly, Wu Zixu not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but also intensified it. Fu Chai felt that it was necessary to kill his vigor, so he said:

"What Dazai said makes sense. General Wu is too small-minded. If I can't even accommodate a small country of Yue, how can I crusade against the Central Plains and rule the world?"

Wu Zixu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if you don't listen to your ministers today, you will suffer a lot from the Yue Kingdom in the future!"

"Shut up!" Fu Chai said angrily, "I think you are a veteran, so I didn't scold you, but you came to threaten me? Why don't you step back quickly, I know the affairs of the country well, and I don't need you to decide! "

Wu Zixu was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time, and seeing Fu Chai staring at him intently, showing no sign of repentance, he sighed heavily, shook his head and left the court.

Bo Pi's suggestion that Fu Chai turn his attention to Qi State was naturally the idea of ​​Fan Li and Wen Zhong. Qi State is strong and strong. In this way, it can not only weaken Wu State, but also give Yue State time to cultivate.But Gou Jian still has a guilty conscience. Although he has started to recuperate now, it is still unclear whether the national power can catch up with Wu in ten years. If Wu really wins Qi in one fell swoop, the situation will be even worse.Wen Zhong knew what Gou Jian was worried about at a glance, so he took out a bamboo slip from his bosom, presented it to Gou Jian, and said:

"The minister has thought of some solutions at home these days, and wrote this volume of articles, named Jiushu of Wu Wu. If the king has any doubts in his heart, he might as well take a look and see if there is any merit."

Goujian unfolded the bamboo slips, and saw nine sentences neatly written on it:

[-]. Respect the heaven and the earth, serve ghosts and gods, so that the king has the heart to win.

Second, donating a large amount of coins to the king of Wu, firstly to remove his desire to guard against Vietnam, and secondly to cultivate his arrogance and extravagance.

[-]. Borrowing food from the state of Wu firstly shows that the state of Yue is weak, and secondly makes the treasury of the state of Wu short-lived.

[-]. Present beautiful women to King Wu to make him obsessed with beauty and ignore political affairs.

Fifth, send skilled craftsmen to the King of Wu, and lure the King of Wu to build high towers and pavilions, which is a waste of money and people.

[-]. Bribing the treacherous ministers left and right of King Wu to corrupt the government.

[-]. Divide the loyal ministers of the king of Wu, so that no one can use the king of Wu.

[-]. Accumulate food and grass and enrich the national strength.

Nine, forge sharp weapons, secretly train assassins and killers, and wait for an opportunity to attack Wu.

After Gou Jian watched it, he smiled openly and applauded, saying:

"Dr. Wen and the widow thought of going together before and after these points, so let's not talk about it for the time being. But you mentioned a few points, but the widow really didn't think of it. It is indeed the best strategy to weaken the state of Wu, which is very useful. .” He turned to Fan Li:

"Doctor Fan, you like to make friends and travel most of the day, and you know the mountains, rivers, customs and customs of the Yue Kingdom like the palm of your hand. Starting tomorrow, you will go to various places in the Yue Kingdom to find beautiful craftsmen... like the concubines in my harem, it must be impossible. , you need to be a high-quality beauty, but also talented and extraordinary."

Fan Li frowned: "It's not too much to say that a woman like this is one in a million. How can you find such a woman? Even if you look for ten or eight years, you may not be able to find them. According to Yichen, it's better to find some people with outstanding looks first." After all, a woman's appearance is determined by God, but her temperament and talent can be cultivated slowly, and when she is cultivated, she can be given to the King of Wu."

Gou Jian nodded and said: "What Doctor Fan said is true. I have not thought about it. You will find it tomorrow. If the money is not enough, I will give it to you."

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty is so generous, I am very touched. I also have some business in the market, and I have more than enough money in my hands. Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. Besides, the Yue Kingdom is now at the time when people are using money. Since I have the ability, how dare I do it?" Send money to the treasury."

Gou Jian sighed: "Doctor Fan still knows the widow. The widow sees that you are handsome and talented, but you have not yet married a wife. I think you have worked too hard on the affairs of the state and missed your life. If you really find the most beautiful woman, you can choose one. A widow never speaks too much."

"If the country's revenge has not been reported, how can I have any thoughts about my own marriage? If I really like a woman, that woman must be supreme. How can I take it all by myself? It must be dedicated to the King of Wu."

Seeing Fan Li like this, Goujian suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that Fan Li was not an ordinary person.He was able to distinguish between state affairs and private affairs so clearly, he was really tough and capable.Moreover, he had a big business, a wide network of contacts, and a very high reputation in the Yue Kingdom. If one day he could really destroy the Wu Kingdom, this Fan Li would definitely have to be dealt with.

Fan Li didn't know what was going on in Gou Jian's mind, and thought that he was too tired and lost his mind for a while, so he left softly and left.

After returning home and tidying up, Fan Li sat down and became distressed.Since you are looking for a beautiful woman, after all, you have to look for someone with the best appearance and figure, but now the King of Yue has ordered that women who have reached the age of 17 must marry, and women under the age of 89 have not yet fully displayed their appearance and figure. He will have a good-looking baby... But he can't be asked to snatch other people's 89-year-old wife over!After thinking about it, he felt that he should go to some remote towns. Thinking that the king's decree had just been issued, maybe people in this remote place didn't know about it, and maybe he could find some [-]-year-old unmarried beauties.

Thinking of this, he called a confidant and told him to do business in the city, and then he took two young men and rode three horses on the road.In half a year, he found more than a dozen beautiful girls and sent them to the palace, but Gou Jian was not very satisfied.In fact, Fan Li himself was not satisfied, but most of those beautiful women had already married dignitaries, and the rest were rare, and they all hid in their boudoirs. How could he find them?

Fan Li went all the way to ask where there were beauties, but no one recognized him when he was far away, and even reported him as a human trafficker or a flower picker, which really caused him a lot of trouble, and even spent a few days in prison for no reason. disaster.One day he came to the vicinity of Ancheng, and found that although it was an old capital, the decree did not seem to be spread widely. He was overjoyed and knocked on the door from door to door.After knocking on the sixth house, an old man invited him in, poured a cup of tea, and said:

"You are Doctor Fan, right? Why did you come all the way here?"

Fan Li said: "Since the old man recognizes me, I will not hide it. In fact, the king ordered me to look for beautiful women all over the country."

The old man shook his head: "Your Majesty wants to get married, all he has to do is to issue an order, and he has beautiful women to send to him to choose from, why bother?"

Fan Li thought that this trick should not be known to outsiders, so he lied: "Your Majesty is over 30 years old, and he thinks it is inappropriate to marry a girl of sixteen or seventeen. For an unmarried girl, her parents will face a lawsuit. Your Majesty can't openly take the lead in violating laws, can he?"

The old man said: "That's true. Twenty miles to the north, there is a Zhuluo mountain. There is a Zhuluo village in the mountain. The customs inside are different from the outside. It is a marriage between a man and a woman. Men do not marry second wives, and there are many women. Boy, you can go there and try, maybe you will gain something."

Fan Li was overjoyed, thanked the old man, didn't even bother to drink tea, so he said goodbye and went all the way north.
