Lv Buwei's anecdote:

1, a golden word

At the end of the Warring States period, Lv Buwei, a big businessman, made the biggest speculative business in Chinese and foreign history. He spared no expense to make the king of Qin, who was taken hostage in Zhao, the king of Qin.

Makes when the king of Qin, in order to repay the kindness of Lv Buwei, named Lv Buwei as prime minister. From a businessman, he became a prominent figure under one person and above ten thousand people, and became the authority to advance and retreat. The officials of the DPRK and China said nothing, but they were unconvinced.

Lv Buwei also knows that his political expectations are so superficial that people may talk privately. He thinks that improving his reputation is the best way to convince people. But how can we improve quickly? He can't think of any good way at the moment. Lv Buwei was very worried about it, and he called on the public to discuss it.

Someone said, "We know that Confucius has a good reputation because he wrote a book called Spring and Autumn Annals. Sun Wu became a general of the State of Wu because the King of Wu read the Art of War first. Why can't we write a book that is famous in the contemporary era and sets an example for future generations? "

Lv Buwei thought this method was very good, and ordered the public to organize people to write it immediately.

Lv Buwei had 3,000 followers at that time, and soon wrote 26 volumes 160 articles entitled "Lv Chunqiu". After writing, Lv Buwei ordered the full text to be copied and posted on the gate of Xianyang, and issued a notice: "Whoever can add or subtract one, or even change one, will be rewarded with 1,200 gold."

The notice has been posted for a long time, and people are afraid of Lv Buwei's power, and no one comes to ask for it. So the story of "a word is worth a thousand dollars" has been passed down to this day.

2. Sacrifice to Handan

Lv Buwei has a beautiful dancer. After seeing this woman at a party in Lv Buwei's house, he liked her very much. He stood up and proposed a toast to Lv Buwei and asked that she be given to him. Lv Buwei was very angry, but on second thought, he had spent a lot of money on making people, so he gave it to this woman in order to catch strange goods. After October, the girl gave birth to her son's name, and the stranger took this girl as his wife.

3. Imported goods can live

Lv Buwei went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to do business. By chance, he found an extraordinary young man on the road. Someone told him, "This young man is the grandson of the son of the King of Qin. His name is a foreigner and he was taken hostage in Zhao. "

At that time, Qin and Zhao often fought, and Zhao deliberately lowered the living standards of foreigners, making him very poor. Even when it was cold, he didn't even have clothes to keep out the cold.

Knowing this, Lv Buwei immediately thought that investing in strangers would bring immeasurable profits. He couldn't help saying to himself, "This strange product can survive in it." It means to store strangers as exotic goods and wait for an opportunity to sell them. ?

Lv Buwei went back to his apartment and asked his father, "How much profit can you get from agriculture?" His father replied, "Ten times." Lv Buwei asked again, "What about selling jewelry?" His father replied, "A hundred times." Lv Buwei then asked: "So how much will a frustrated person get if he is trained as a monarch and is in charge of the world's money?" His father shook his head in surprise and said, "That's incalculable." ?

The stranger said with surprise, "that's a good thing I can't wait." One day I will repay you heavily. " Lv Buwei immediately went to Qin, bribed the cronies around An Guo Jun with a large sum of money, and redeemed the dissidents of Qin. ? An Guojun has more than twenty sons, but his favorite Mrs. Huayang has no sons.

Lv Buwei gave a large number of treasures to Mrs. Huayang and asked Mrs. Huayang to accept different people as her heirs. ? After the death of the King of Qin, An succeeded to the throne, known as King Xiaowen in history, and named an alien as a prince. King Xiaowen died shortly after his reign, and the prince succeeded to the throne, that is, King Zhuang Xiang. ?

King Xiang of Zhuang was very grateful for Lv Buwei's support, worshiped Lv Buwei as the prime minister, sealed Wen Xin Hou, and took 12 counties in Luoyang, Henan Province as fiefs, and paid taxes to 100,000 households. After the death of King Zhuang Xiang, Prince Zheng succeeded to the throne, namely Qin Shihuang, and was called Guan Zhong. Lv Buwei came to power.
