Fan Li Along King of Yue Goujian As slaves in Wu State, sharing joys and sorrows with Goujian. After returning to the country, he also made suggestions for Goujian and finally destroyed Wu State, which wiped out the humiliation that Goujian suffered when he was in Wu State. Later, he helped Goujian march northward, conquered Qi State and Jin State , and became a generation of overlords.
said that Fan Li should have enjoyed the hard-earned results, but at this moment he resolutely handed a resignation letter to King Goujian of Yue .
Goujian naturally refused and said, "I will share half of the country and we share it together."
Fan Li didn't accept such a good thing as
, and fled from Yueguo overnight.
We ordinary people think this is not stupid? After so many years of struggle, how could I give up and run away without saying hello when I enjoyed the results?
In fact, this is his great wisdom. Think about it, he served the king of Wu with Goujian. He saw all the humiliations that Goujian suffered. Now that Goujian has become the overlord, does he hope that others will know about the embarrassing things he has done?
Even if he knew Fan Li would not say it out, how could he not think of those unforgettable past events that could not be looked back on every day when he looked at Fan Li? After a long time, he certainly could not tolerate Fan Li.
So Fan Li can escape unsuccessfully only. It would not end up being sentenced to death by Goujian like his friend Wen Zhong.
Fan Li fled to Qi State, which is now Zibo City, Shandong Province. Because of the good governance of the country by Guan Zhong, Qi made Qi strong and economically developed. Fan Li thought Qi was a good place. I took my family and disciples to live and work in Qi State. In order not to know about the people sent by King Goujian of Yue to hunt him down, he changed his name and called himself Yizipi, which means a wine bag made of cowhide. Fan Li is particularly economical. They dry salt and raise fish on the beach, and they make a lot of money in a few years.
Perhaps it is just as the saying goes, gold will always shine. Although Fan Li was constantly low-key, the King of Qi knew that he was outstanding, so he asked someone to take the imperial seal to his house and take him into the palace. Seeing the situation, Fan Li was not willing to refuse, so he had to temporarily become the prime minister of Qi.
Being an ordinary person can make tens of millions of gold, being an official can make it above tens of thousands of people. This is what many people dream of, but the wise Fan Li doesn't think so. He thinks it is an unlucky thing, so he secretly finds a capable person for Qi State and resigns from his position as prime minister. And give all the wealth in the family to friends and the poor people around him.
Fan Li left without saying goodbye again, left Qi State and came to Taodi to live (that is, today's Dingtao District, Shandong Province). He believed that this place was connected to all places and was a distribution center, so it was very suitable for business.
Sure enough, through several years of hard work, he and his family have accumulated huge wealth through business. Once again, starting from scratch to a business elite.
In fact, the fact is that he has spent all his money for the third time, and has started from scratch and started his own business and made great achievements. It can be seen from this that he is a famous politician, military strategist and strategist.
Fan Li is not only capable, but also open-minded. His second son killed someone in Chu State and was arrested. Fan Li did not want him to be beheaded and showed his public, so he sent his youngest son to find his old friend Mr. Zhuang with gold. Unexpectedly, his eldest son said that there was something wrong with the family and he didn't let me be the eldest, but he asked his younger brother to go. This is my fault. So he was going to commit suicide. Seeing this, Mrs. Fan Li advised Fan Li, "If the second son didn't save him, he would lose his boss first." Fan Li had no choice but to agree to the boss's trip to Chu State.
The boss found Mr. Zhuang as Fan Li ordered. He saw that Mr. Zhuang lived in and dressed very coldly, not as if he was very capable, so although he gave him gold, he did not trust him. Unwilling to obey his words and leave Chu State. Instead, he used the Q he brought in private to accept bribes to the nobles in power in Chu State.
However, he didn't know that although Mr. Zhuang was poor, he was a person whom the State of Chu, including the King of Chu, trusted and respected. He didn't care about their gold at all, and he had long told his wife not to keep it with good life and to find an opportunity to return it in the future.
Mr. Zhuang didn't know that Fan Li's eldest son did not trust him, so he found an opportunity to meet the King of Chu and said that I was observing the celestial phenomena at night and that a star changed its position, which might be unfavorable to Chu.
King Chu asked hurriedly, "What should I do?"
Mr. Zhuang said, "It's nothing, as long as you do good things, you can eliminate them."
King Zhuang of Chu said, "You have a rest, I understand."
So he sent someone to block the warehouse where three coins were stored. The nobleman told Fan Li's eldest son about to be pardoned, and your younger brother was about to be released. The eldest son asked the reason, and the man said that the King of Chu would seal the warehouse in advance every time the world was amnesty. Last night, the King of Chu sent someone to seal the warehouse.
When the eldest son heard this, he was so happy that he actually encountered such a good thing. He thought of giving gold to Mr. Zhuang, and thought that the King of Chu would be pardoned by the world, so he didn't need to ask him to help. So I went to say goodbye to Mr. Zhuang, actually because I wanted to return the gold I gave to Mr. Zhuang. He told Mr. Zhuang, "I originally asked Mr. to help us save my younger brother. Now the King of Chu wants to pardon the world, and my younger brother will be released. I'll tell you apart."
How can the wise Mr. Zhuang not hear what he meant? He asked the eldest son to get the gold he gave him by himself. The eldest son took it back without hesitation, and he was still secretly grateful in his heart.
This made Mr. Zhuang very angry. As soon as he came, he was deceived by the eldest son who was a junior, and agreed to leave Chu but did not leave. Secondly, he distrusts him so much and looks like he is a greedy person. It was an insult to ask for the gold he gave him back.
So Mr. Zhuang was embarrassed and annoyed, and went to find the King of Chu again in anger, saying that I heard from passers-by that the rich man's son killed the prisoner in Chu State, and their family took a lot of money to bribe the people around you, so you amnesty the world not to sympathize with the people, but to let Zhu Gong's second son go.
When the King of Chu heard this, he was furious and said that although I was not virtuous, I would not have forgiven the world for a son Zhu. He ordered the verdict to kill the second young master. It was not until the next day that the amnesty order was issued.
The eldest son was deeply saddened and had to take his brother's body home.
The family was heartbroken when they saw the second son's body, but Fan Li was not sad and said that I had been waiting for the second son and his body to be transported back. I knew that my eldest son would definitely not be able to save his second son this time. He has been with us since childhood and is well aware of the difficulties of making a living, so he is reluctant to use money. As for the old and young, our family has been very rich since birth, and we are not stingy in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Originally, I sent my younger son to go because of this reason, and my older son went there. It is common sense to cause the second child to be killed, and there is no sadness.
It is precisely because Fan Li is so open-minded that he can see through the essence of things at a glance, not be entangled or complained, not be greedy for wealth, and not be greedy for fame and fortune, so he can become famous all over the world, escape unstoppable, and live until he is over 80 before he dies in Taodi.
