History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 226 Fan Li
My charming and short-lived ancestor: I’ll go! That is to say, can I become rich if I worship the ancestor Wang Hai?

Galaxy:.
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed! We are not a supernatural live broadcast room, and we do not talk about metaphysics.

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: Yes! But it is still okay to pay homage to the ancestors. After all, all powerful ancestors are worthy of respect!
I didn’t think about using this as my online name first: That’s right! Ancestor Wang Hai is worthy of respect. It’s good to say goodbye when you have nothing to do.
……

Su Yue looked at the lively comments and quietly bowed to Wang Hai.

Ancestor! Please bless me to be rich and thin in 2024!

After doing this, she continued: "Okay, now let's take a look at the next businessman - Fan Li!"

Fan Li (536 BC - 448 BC), courtesy name Shaobo, was from the Huaxia ethnic group.

There are three versions of his hometown: Xu people (50 miles northwest of present-day Sixian County, Anhui Province), Wu people (today's SZ City area), and Chuwan people. The Chuwan three households are also said to be from Siwan Town, Xichuan County, Henan Province, and Fan Li. There are two kinds of hometowns in Wancheng (Wancheng District, formerly Nanyang County).

Fan Li was a Yue Dynasty official in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous politician, strategist, strategist, and economist in Chinese history. He was called a good state minister, a military wizard, a god of management, and the originator of business by historians. He was revered by the Chinese people. As the "God of Wealth and Wealth".

He was the Prime Minister and General of the State of Yue.

He once offered advice to help King Gou Jian of Yue to restore his country, revive Yue and destroy Wu, and then disappeared.

He wrote two chapters of "Fan Li" on the Art of War, now lost.

Fan Li was an early business theorist in China and one of the pioneers of Chu Studies.

He was respected as "Shang Sage" by later generations. Although he was born into a poor family, he was knowledgeable, talented and capable in both civil and military affairs.

I got acquainted with Chu Wanling Wenzhong and had a close relationship with him.

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. Later, they were worshiped as senior officials and prime ministers, and assisted Gou Jian of the Yue State.

He helped Gou Jian revitalize the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu Kingdom. He averted the shame of Kuaiji, achieved hegemony, and was named a general.

After becoming famous, he retreated bravely from the rapids, changed his name to Gui Yizipi, and traveled among the seventy-two peaks.

During this period, he became extremely rich in business three times and lost his wealth three times.

Later, he settled in Taoqiu of the Song Dynasty (south of Dingtao District, HZ City, SD Province today) and named himself "Tao Zhugong". Fan Li died in 448 BC at the age of 88.

Because Fan Li worked hard throughout his life, made three fortunes, was able to spread money to help the poor, and was indifferent to fame and fortune, as well as his huge influence on business ideas and theories, after Fan Li's death, he was gradually revered as the God of Wealth, the Sage of Business, and the God of Business. The ancestor of Shang Dynasty, many businessmen enshrine his statues and portraits.

Fan Li is a descendant of Fan Wuzi, the founder of the Fan surname, and is regarded as the ancestor of the Fan family in Shunyang.

……

goin: This is the ancestor of my Fan family!

My charming but short-lived ancestor: In fact, he was not just a businessman, he was also an excellent and cold-blooded politician
His Majesty Han Xiaowu: Indeed, he was the one who initiated the beauty trap!

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I agree! My beautiful and miserable Xi Tzu!
Even the mist refuses: Alas'~`Poor baby

My charming but short-lived ancestor: But Fan Li was actually doing it for his country. It can only be said that he was not a lover. He cared more about his country than the love between his children.

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: It can only be said that in his heart, the country is more important than anything else. Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): Yes, but to be honest, he has the ability.

Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Agreed!

What should I do if I can't sleep at night? What you said suddenly made me think of those people in the Shu Han Dynasty. They are also people who are willing to risk their lives for their ideals!
I didn’t think about using this online name first: Agreed! So this is why we know that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a real history, but there are still countless people who like it, right?
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I agree!

Su Yue continued to click on the PPT and said: "Okay, let's take a look at Tao Zhugong's story!"

The bird is gone and the bow is hidden
After Fan Li succeeded in helping Yue King Gou Jian, he immediately left the country of Yue.

He wrote to Wen Zhong from Qi State: "Fei (same as "fly"), when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys are cooked.

The King of Yue was a man with a long neck and a beak, so he could share adversity with him, but he could not share happiness with him.

Why don't you go? "

The general meaning is: after shooting the birds, the good bows and arrows will be put away.

Once the cunning rabbits have been hunted, the hunting dogs will be cooked.

The King of Yue was a sinister and scheming man.

We can share hardships with him but we cannot share happiness.

Why don't you leave quickly?
After receiving the letter, Wen Zhong claimed that he was ill and could not go to court, but in the end he still did not escape the fate of death.

But Fan Li had expected this early, and I have to say that this was his specialty!
Since then, "birds are gone, bows are hidden" has become an idiom, which refers to kicking away or destroying those who have contributed once something is done.

Many famous officials in later generations took this as a warning.

Prosper Yue and destroy Wu
In the 496th year of King Zhou Jing’s reign ( BC), the Battle of Chaoli (today’s Jiaxing, Zhejiang) took place between the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Yue, which resulted in the death of King Helu of Wu. From then on, the two countries became enmity and war continued for years.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (494 BC), Helu's son Fucha fought a decisive battle with the Yue state in Fujiao (today's Mashan, Taihu, Wuxi) in order to avenge his father. King Goujian of Yue was defeated and only 5000 soldiers fled into Kuaiji Mountain.

Fan Li then defected to Yue when Gou Jian was at the end of his rope. He told Gou Jian that "Yue must prosper and Wu must defeat" and admonished him: "Bend yourself and serve the king of Wu, and Xu Tu will turn around."

After being worshiped as a senior doctor, he accompanied Gou Jian and his wife as slaves in the Kingdom of Wu for three years. "Be patient and maintain your ambition, so you can be strong. Don't be sad, the king and the queen, and encourage me with you!"

After returning to China three years later, he and Wen Zhong formulated the Nine Techniques to Promote Yue and Destroy Wu. He was the planner and organizer of the Yue Kingdom's "Ten Years of Gathering, Ten Years of Lessons".

In order to implement the strategy of destroying Wu, which is also one of the nine skills of "beauty trap", Fan Li personally traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally visited Xi Shi, a beautiful woman with both virtue, talent and appearance at Huansha River in Zhuluo Mountain. He wrote the legend of Xi Shi in history. A legendary chapter in which Ming Dynasty dedicated himself to the king of Wu and cooperated with the outside to prosper Yue and destroy Wu.

Fan Li served King Goujian of Yue for more than 20 years. He worked hard and worked hard, and finally died in destroying Wu. He became the king of Yue and was respected as a general.

Rafting on the West Lake
Gou Jian destroyed the state of Wu. On the night when there was a grand celebration ceremony, Fan Li, who had done a lot of work, quietly took Xi Shi with him, sneaked out of Qimen, got on the small wooden boat of Uncle Ade who had been waiting there, and crossed the moat. After turning around in a circle, we headed straight towards Taihu Lake.

They arrived at Wuli Lake in the north of Taihu Lake. Seeing the beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers, they built a few thatched houses and lived incognito.

During this period, Wen Zhong was killed, and Fan Li moved to other places three times to save his life. However, because Xi Shi loved the scenery of the Five Lakes, the two finally settled in West Lake.
