When the younger son grew up, Tao Zhugong's second son killed someone and was imprisoned in Chu. Tao Zhugong said, "The murderer will die naturally. However, I heard that' rich children are not suitable for public execution'. "
So he prepared 1200 gold and sent his youngest son to visit. The eldest son repeatedly asked to go, but Tao Zhugong refused. The eldest son thinks that his father sent his younger brother instead of his eldest son, and obviously thinks that he is corrupt and wants to commit suicide.
Mother spoke strongly, so Tao Zhugong had to send a letter to his old friend Zhuang Sheng and told his eldest son, "When you arrive, give this 1,200 gold to Zhuang Sheng, let him dispose of it, and don't argue with him." The boss went there and did as his father said.
"Leave as soon as possible, don't stay long," said Zhuang Sheng. Even if your brother is released, don't ask him why. " The boss pretended to leave without telling Zhuang Sheng, but privately stayed at the home of a noble in the State of Chu.
Zhuang Sheng is poor, but he is respected for his honesty and integrity. Everyone below the king of Chu respects him with the teacher's gift. He doesn't intend to accept the gold sent by Tao Zhugong, and wants to return it after the job is done to show his integrity. Tao Zhugong's boss didn't know about Johnson and thought he was just an ordinary person. Zhuangsheng took the opportunity to enter the palace to see the king of Chu, which indicated that XXX was unfavorable. If the State of Chu can own Xiu De, it can be dissolved.
The King of Chu always trusted Zhuang Sheng, and immediately sent someone to close San Qian's house (the vault where gold, silver and copper were stored). The nobles of the State of Chu told the old man in Tao Zhugong in surprise, "The King of Chu is going to grant amnesty to the whole world.
Because San Qian House must be closed for every amnesty. "The long man thought of amnesty, and his brother was released from prison, but 1,200 gold came for nothing, so he went to see Zhuang Sheng again.
Zhuang Sheng said in surprise, "Didn't you leave?" Long humanity: "Yes. Today, my brother is fortunate to meet the King of Chu's Amnesty and has come to say goodbye. "
Zhuang Sheng knew what he meant and told him to go in and get the gold himself. The boss did this, and Zhuang Sheng was very uncomfortable. He went to the palace to see the king of Chu and said, "Your Majesty wants to eliminate the disaster, but it is rumored by outsiders that the rich man Zhu Gongzi killed someone and was imprisoned in the State of Chu. His family took a lot of money to bribe people around your majesty. Therefore, your Amnesty is not really pity for the Chu people, but only to release Zhu Gongzi. "
The king of Chu was very angry and immediately ordered Zhu Gongzi to be killed. The next day, an Amnesty was issued. So Tao Zhugong's eldest son finally had to transport his younger brother's body home, and his mother and fellow villagers were very sad.
Tao Zhugong smiled and said, "I knew he would kill his brother. It is not that he doesn't love his younger brother, but that he has been with me since childhood and is used to the hardships of life, so he pays special attention to the wealth outside; As for my younger brother, I was born to see that I have money, and I am used to the life of rich people, and I don't know how the money comes from.
I sent my youngest son there only because he could get rid of his possessions, but a big man couldn't, and it was normal to kill his younger brother in the end. It's not surprising. I'm waiting for him to come back with a funeral. "Original: Living in Tao, having fewer children.
The youngest son is strong, and the public kills the prisoner. Zhu Gong said, "If you kill people, you will die. However, I have heard that' a daughter's son will not die in the city'. " Even if I treat my daughter, I will send my youngest son to see it.
Please do it, but don't listen. It's "my fault" to send my younger brother away from my eldest son. I want to commit suicide.
His mother is strong, and he has to send his eldest son. Because of the legacy of the book, the eldest son said, "If you arrive, go into the Zhuangsheng Institute, listen to what he does, and be careful not to argue."
Men behave just like their fathers. Zhuang Sheng said, "You can't stay sick, that is, you can't ask questions."
Yang, the eldest male, was leaving, but Zhuang Sheng and the nobles stayed in Chu privately. Although Zhuang Sheng is poor, he is loyal to honest and frank, and all the following kings of Chu are teachers.
Zhu Gong entered the gold, but he didn't intend to accept it. When he wanted to do it, he believed it However, Zhu did not understand what this meant, and thought that there was nothing short or long.
Zhuangsheng came to see the king of Chu from time to time, saying that a certain Fan Lixing had a bad night in Chu, and he could be removed by virtue alone. Wang Su believed that even if San Qian's house was sealed, the nobles said to Zhu Gong's eldest son, "Forgive the king, and seal San Qian's house every time you forgive him."
The boss thought he was forgiven, his brother was impregnable and his daughter was abandoned. To see Johnson again. He was taken aback and said, "What if you don't go?" The boss said, "Gu Ye, I forgive you now, so I quit."
Life knows its meaning, so that you can go into the house and get gold. Zhuangsheng was betrayed by his obedient son, so he went to see the king of Chu and said, "Wang wanted to be a famous soldier, but Zhu Gongzi, the rich man of pottery, killed Chu and imprisoned him, and his family surrounded the king with money." So the King of Qi forgave him. He could not sympathize with all the people in Chu, so he chose Zhu Gongzi as his reason. "
Wang was furious and ordered Zhu Gongzi to be killed, and a pardon order will be issued tomorrow. Therefore, Zhu Gong's eldest son lost his brother, and his mother and the people in the city mourned him. Zhu Gong smiled to himself and said, "I know I will kill his brother, but he doesn't love his brother, he doesn't care about me, and he lives by hardships, so he abandoned money.
If you are as young as your younger brother, you will see that I was born rich, and I will use my strength to make money. I don't know. Money is never a good thing! I sent my youngest son only because he could abandon his wealth, but the old man couldn't, so he died and killed his brother. -things are reasonable, there is nothing strange. I hope it will come day and night! "Zhu Gong has his own opinions, so it is not appropriate to use words to women, so he is afraid of killing his eldest son.
"Listen to what it does, don't argue with it." Obviously, the eldest son refused to teach.
Johnson's talent is no less than Zhu Gong's. Strangers kill people and clap their hands for joy. However, I would rather be a bad friend than a willing son. What is the word "and"? Well, the reason why it is vertical and horizontal talent is also the same! Tao Zhugong has a clear opinion, but he really shouldn't have changed his mind after listening to that woman's words, so he redistributed his eldest son, probably because he was afraid that his eldest son would commit suicide.
Before he left, he instructed his eldest son to deal with Zhuang Sheng and not to argue with him. I made it very clear, but I didn't teach my eldest son himself. Zhuang Sheng's sexual ability is not worse than Tao Zhugong's, and who lives and dies is completely in his hands.
However, I would rather betray my friends. For this breath, I have to fight with my children. Why are you so narrow-minded Alas! Does he think this is the ability to make love? Note: ① Duke: a famous figure in the Spring and Autumn Period, who helped the King of Yue Gou Jian to destroy Wu, abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion in Taoism, claiming that he was rich. 2 positions: supervision, common sense.

Fan Li's deeds: In the sixth year of the Spring and Autumn Period (536 BC), Lu was born in Wandi (River.
2. Fan Li's translation of classical Chinese served Ju Jian, the King of Yue, and worked hard with him for more than 20 years. Finally, Wu was destroyed, and Hui Ji was avenged. He crossed the Huaihe River and went north to the border of Qi and Jin, hitting the original support of Zhou Tianzi. Chu Jian occupied the dominant position, and Fan Li became a general. After returning to Yue, I thought that my great fame and official position could not last long, and people like Yu Jian could share joys and sorrows with him, but they could not, so I wrote a farewell letter to Yu Jian, saying, "I heard that the monarch was worried about the hardships of his officials, and it was the most important thing to be humiliated." Once upon a time, the king was humiliated at the meeting, and the reason why I didn't die was to get revenge. Now I have avenged myself and asked to be executed (I will die in Huiji). "sentence Jian said," I intend to separate the country from you and manage it together. "If you don't agree, you will be executed." Fan Li said, "You do as you are told, and I do as I wish." So they put on light pearls and jade, drifted to the sea by boat with their entourage, and never came back. Therefore, it was decided to seal Kuaiji Mountain as a fief.
Fan Li crossed the sea in Qi, changed his name and surname, and called himself Yan Yizipi. He farmed by the sea and worked hard, and his father and son managed the family business. It didn't take long for the fortune to reach several hundred thousand. When the Qi people heard about his talent, they named him Prime Minister. Fan Li sighed: "It is the limit of people's happiness to earn 1000 yuan at home and be an official." I have enjoyed your name for a long time, which is unlucky. "So he returned to Xiangyin, scattered all the family wealth, distributed it to friends and villagers, took the treasure himself, quietly left and stopped in Tao (now Dingtao, Shandong Province), thinking that this is the center of the world and the road to trading is smooth, so you can make a fortune here. So he calls himself Tao Zhugong. Father and son began farming and breeding again, not living at home, selling goods by season, chasing one-tenth of the profits. It didn't take long to accumulate huge wealth. The whole world knows, Tao Zhugong.
3. Fan Li served Ju Gongli wholeheartedly, and worked with Ju Gongli for more than 20 years. Finally, Wu Guo was destroyed, and Hui Ji was avenged. He crossed the Huaihe River and went north to the border of Qi and Jin, and made a decree that the Central Plains supported Zhou Tianzi, and the giant sword became a general. After returning to Yue, I thought that my great fame and official position could not last long, and people like Yu Jian could share joys and sorrows with him, but they could not, so I wrote a farewell letter to Yu Jian, saying, "I heard that the monarch was worried about the hardships of his officials, and it was the most important thing to be humiliated."

4. Fan Li (536-448 BC) was born in Wandi, Chu (now Taohe Township, Xichuan County, Nanyang).
Politicians, militarists, economists and Taoist scholars in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He made suggestions to help Gou Jian, the King of Yue, restore the country, and then disappeared.
He is the author of two articles "Fan Li", both of which look terrible now. Fan Li is an early commercial theorist in China and one of the pioneers of Chu studies.
Later generations honored him as "Shang Saint" and one of the "Five Saints of Nanyang". Although he was born in poverty, he was well-read and knowledgeable, and had a deep understanding and intersection of Chu Wanling's style of writing.
Dissatisfied with the political darkness of Chu at that time, non-nobles were not allowed to enter the official, and they went to Yue to assist Gou Jian. Legend has it that he helped Gou Jian prosper the State of Yue and destroy the State of Wu.
After his success, he retired under the pen name Yan Yizi Pi, roaming between the seventy-two peaks. During this period, he became rich in business three times and his family fortune was exhausted three times.
Later, he settled in Tao Qiu in Song Dynasty (now south of Dingtao District, Heze City, Shandong Province) and was named "Tao Zhugong". The reputation of the world: "loyalty is the country; Wisdom protects the body; Famous for being rich. "
Many merchants later worshipped his statue as a god of wealth. Fan Li is the great-grandson of Fan Wuzi, the ancestor of Fan's surname, and is regarded as the ancestor of Yang Shun's family.
5. Second-grade Chinese-Classical Chinese translation of Fan Li Floating on the Sea, Out of Qi: He served the King of Yue Gou Jian, worked hard with Gou Jian for more than 20 years, and finally perished the State of Wu. Snow washed the shame of Huiji Mountain, marched north, crossed the Huaihe River, bordered Qi Jin, and gave orders to the Central Plains.
After returning to China, Fan Li thought that fame could not last long, and that Gou Jian's personality could share weal and woe with him, but it was difficult to share weal and woe with him. He wrote a letter to Gou Jian, saying: "I heard that the monarch is worried about the country, and all officials should work hard, and the monarch will be humiliated and all officials will die." Once upon a time, the king was humiliated in Huiji Mountain. The reason I didn't die was to avenge myself.
Now that I have avenged myself, I request to accept the punishment of being humiliated by Huijishan. "E79FA5E98193E59EE7AD 943133337623535 Gou Jian said," I want to give you half of Yue, and let us enjoy it together.
If you don't do this, I will punish you. "Fan Li said," The king issued his own orders, and officials should carry out their wishes. "
So Fan Li put on soft jewels and set sail with his entourage, never coming back. So Gou Jian took Huiji Mountain as his fief in recognition of Fan Li.
Fan Li traveled across the sea to the State of Qi, and changed his name, calling himself Yan Yi Purple Beer. He cultivated by the sea and worked hard, and his father and son managed the industry. Soon after he survived, he gained hundreds of thousands of property.
When the people of Qi heard that he was very talented, they made him a state minister. Fan Li sighed and said, "Living at home can earn a lot of money, and being an official can rank among ministers. This is the culmination that ordinary people reach.
It is unlucky to enjoy a noble name for a long time. "So he returned Xiangyin, cleaned up his property, gave it to his close friends and villagers, left quietly with precious treasures and lived in Tao Di. He believes that this place is the center of the world, with smooth business transactions and roads, and business can make a fortune.
So he calls himself Tao Zhugong. It is also agreed that the father and son will raise livestock, hoard goods, wait for opportunities and resell goods, making a profit of one tenth.
After a period of time, the accumulated assets reached 100 million. Everyone praised Tao Zhugong.
6. Fan Li translated "Shi Ji Yue Wang Gou Jian Shi Jia". Fan Li served the Yue Wang Gou Jian, worked hard and worked tirelessly. After more than 20 years of planning with Gou Jian, Wu was finally destroyed and Huiji's shame was cleared.
The Vietnamese army marched north into the Huaihe River and reached the border of Qi and Jin, ordering all countries in the Central Plains to respect Zhou Shi, and Gou Jian claimed hegemony. Fan Li became a general. After returning home, Fan Li thought that fame would not last long. Besides, as a man, Jian Jian can share his sufferings with him, but it is difficult to share his happiness with him. He wrote a farewell letter to Gou Jian, saying: "I heard that when the monarch is worried about his ministers, he will work hard, and when the monarch insults his ministers, he will die."
You were humiliated in Huiji before, and the reason why I didn't die was for revenge. Now that I have avenged myself, I ask you to sentence me to death for humiliating the monarch at the meeting. "
Gou Jian said, "I would like to share the country with you. Otherwise, you will be blamed. "
Fan Li said: "The monarch can carry out your orders, and officials still follow their own interests." So he packed some soft jewels, left by boat from the sea with his entourage, and never returned to Yue. In recognition of Fan Li, Gou Jian took Huiji Mountain as his fief.
I went to Qi by boat and changed my name and surname, calling myself "Chen (chρ, eating) Pi". He cultivated by the sea, worked hard and produced hard, and his father and son Qi Xin worked together to manage the industry. After a short life, he accumulated hundreds of thousands of property.
When the Qi people heard that he was virtuous, they made him a state minister. Fan Li sighed: "If you live at home, you will accumulate thousands of dollars of wealth. If you are an official, you will reach a high position. This is the highest position that ordinary people can reach.
It is unlucky to enjoy a prominent reputation for a long time. "So he returned to Xiangyin, scattered all his belongings, gave them to his bosom friends, fellow villagers and neighbors, secretly left with precious treasures and lived in Tao Di.
He believes that this is the center of the world, the road to trading is smooth, and doing business can make a fortune. So he calls himself Tao Zhugong.
It is also agreed that both father and son should cultivate animal husbandry and wait for opportunities when buying and selling in order to get one-tenth of the profits. After a period of time, family assets have accumulated to 100 million.
Everyone praised Tao Zhugong. Zhu Gong lives in Tao Di and has a little son.
When the youngest son came of age, the second son of Duke Zhu killed someone and was arrested by the State of Chu. Zhu Gong said, "It is common sense that murderers refuse to die.
But I heard that downtown won't kill a daughter's son. So he warned his youngest son to visit his second son.
He collected 1000 ounces of gold, put it in brown vessels and transported it by ox cart. When the younger son was about to be sent to work, Zhu Gong's eldest son insisted on going, but Zhu Gong didn't agree.
The eldest son said, "The eldest son in the family is called the supervisor. Now my brother has committed a crime. My father sent his younger brother instead of his eldest son, which shows that I am a black sheep. " The eldest son said he wanted to kill himself.
His mother said on his behalf, "sending the younger son now may not save the second son's life, but he lost his eldest son first." What should I do? " Qi Huangong had to send his eldest son, who wrote a letter asking him to give it to his old friend Zhuang Sheng, and said to his eldest son, "When you arrive in Chu, you should send your daughter to Zhuang Sheng's house. You should listen to him in everything and never have an argument with him." When the eldest son left, he also took away hundreds of pieces of gold in private.
When the eldest son arrived in Chu, he saw that Zhuang's family was very close to the outer city of Chu, and he could only reach Zhuang's family by spreading weeds. Zhuang Sheng's living conditions are very poor. But the eldest son still opened the letter and gave his daughter to Zhuang Sheng, doing exactly as his father told him.
Zhuang Sheng said, "You can leave as soon as possible, and don't stay here! Don't ask why after your brother is released. " The eldest son has already left, and no longer visits Zhuang Sheng. Instead, he stays in Chu privately and gives the gold he carries with him to the powerful people in charge of Chu.
Although Zhuang Sheng lives in a poor country, he is famous for his honesty and integrity in Chu. Since the King of Chu, he has been respected as a teacher. Zhu Gong offered gold, but he didn't mean to accept it. He just wanted to give it back to Zhu Gong as a token of his credit.
So when the gold was delivered, he said to his wife, "This is Zhu Gong's money. I will return it to Zhu Gong in full later, but I don't know when. Just like you can't tell others in advance when you are sick. Do not use it. " But Zhu Gong's eldest son didn't know what Johnson meant, and thought that giving the property to Johnson wouldn't play any role.
Zhuangsheng took the opportunity to visit the king of Chu in the palace and said, "If the star moves somewhere, it will harm the State of Chu." King Chu usually trusts Zhuang Sheng and asks, "What now?" Zhuang Sheng said: "Only by practicing benevolence and morality can we avoid disaster."
King Chu said, "You don't have to say anything, I will do it." The king of Chu sent messengers to block the warehouse where San Qian was stored.
The dignitaries of the State of Chu told Zhu Gong's eldest son in surprise: "The King of Chu is going to grant amnesty to the whole world." The eldest son asked, "What do I think?" The aristocrat said, "Every time the King of Chu granted amnesty to the world, he always sealed the warehouse where San Qian was stored.
Last night, the king of Chu sent messengers to seal it up. "Zhu Gong's eldest son thinks that since the amnesty, the younger brother can be released naturally, and one thousand pieces of gold are thrown to Zhuangsheng in vain. It's useless, so he went to see Zhuangsheng again.
Zhuang Sheng asked in surprise, "Didn't you leave?" The eldest son said, "I have never left." At first, I came for my brother. Today, the State of Chu is negotiating an amnesty, and my brother was naturally released, so I came to say goodbye to you. "
Knowing that he meant to get the gold back, Zhuang Sheng said, "Go to your room and get it back yourself." The eldest son went into the house and took the gold and left Zhuangsheng, secretly glad that the gold was recovered.
Deeply ashamed of being betrayed by his children, Zhuang Sheng went to the palace again to visit the King of Chu, saying, "Last time I said something about a certain star, you said you would do something good to repay it. Now listen to passers-by outside, saying that the son of Tao Di rich man Zhu Gong was imprisoned by the State of Chu after killing, and his family sent people to bribe people around the King of Chu, so the King of Chu did not sympathize with the Chu people, just because of Zhu Gong's son. "
The king of Chu was furious: "Although I have no virtue, how can I benefit others because of the sons of the princes!" " He ordered Zhu Gong's son to be killed first, and the pardon was issued the next day. Zhu Gong's eldest son went home with his brother's body.
When I got home, my mother and neighbors were very sad. Only Zhu Gong smiled and said, "I knew my eldest son couldn't save my brother! It's not that he doesn't love his younger brother, but he just can't bear to give up. He lived with me since childhood, experienced all kinds of hardships, and knew the hardships of making a living, so he valued money very much and dared not spend it easily.
As for my little brother, I was born to see that I am rich. I went hunting in the suburbs by bus and riding a horse.
7. Seek the original text and translation of the Chinese characters in Historical Records of Chinese in Senior High School: strive for the king's sentence, and fight hard with the sentence for more than 20 years, and even destroy Wu, and report the shame of the meeting. The northern soldiers crossed Huai River to welcome Qi Jin, which made China respect Zhou Shi and gave priority to punishment.
Fan Li thinks it is difficult for him to stay in China for a long time, because he is famous, and he can share the same trouble with others, so it is difficult to live quietly. For this book, he said, "I heard that the Lord was worried about my work, and the Lord humiliated me to death." The king was humiliated by Huiji before, so he didn't die. That's why.
Today, as revenge, I ask you to punish me at the meeting. Sentence Jian said, "Orphans and sons live in different countries.
Otherwise, it will be blamed on the children. "Fan Li said," When you give an order, I will do what I want. "
Is to pretend to be light and precious, since we are alone in the same boat, we will never violate it. Therefore, this sentence of Jane expresses that he wants to visit Jishan and thinks it is a city.
Fan Li crossed the ocean, changed his name and surname, called himself Yan Yi Purple Beer, plowed by the sea, worked hard, and the father and son managed production. Life without geometry leads to hundreds of thousands of productions.
Qi people heard of Qi Xian and thought it was a phase. Fan Li sighed: "If you stay at home, you will get a daughter. If you stay in an official position, you will get a dear friend. This kind of cloth is very good.
It is unlucky to be honored for a long time. "It is the return of the seal, and its wealth is scattered, so that it can be shared with bosom friends and hard-working hometown, and with its heavy treasure, it travels to and from the ground and stops at the Tao, so that in this world, there is no way to negotiate and you can make a fortune.
So he calls himself Tao Zhugong. After the resumption of the contract, the father and son were asked to farm animals, abandon their homes, and then change things, benefiting one by one.
If you live in nothingness, you will be extremely tired. The world is called Tao Zhugong.
Zhu Gong lives in Tao and has fewer children. Children are few and strong, but Zhu Gong killed men and was imprisoned in Chu.
The lords said, "It is karma to kill them to death. However, I heard that the sons of a thousand daughters did not die in the city. "
Show it to his little son. It was wrapped in gold, put in a brown container and carried an ox cart.
And sent his youngest son. Zhu Gong's eldest son insisted on going, but Zhu Gong wouldn't listen. The boss said, "I have an eldest son. Call me Governor. My brother is guilty, but my adult will not send him away. It's my fault, I'm my younger brother. "
Attempted suicide. His mother said, "If you send a few sons less today, you may not be able to give birth to neutrons, but you will die first. Why? " Duke Zhu had no choice but to send his eldest son to a good life for a book.
He said, "If you are the best, go to the Zhuangsheng Institute and listen to what they do. Be careful not to argue." Being a long-term person is also selfish, worth hundreds of dollars.
When they arrived in Chu, the Zhuangsheng family carried Guo and brought quinoa to the door, living in poverty. But the long man sent a book to his daughter, just as his father said.
Zhuang Sheng said, "Don't stay if you are sick! That is, the younger brother is out, don't ask why. " The boss went, but Zhuang Sheng stayed privately and gave his private coffin to the nobles of the State of Chu.
8. Seeking classical Chinese helped the King of Yue to avenge the humiliation of Huiji's being trapped, so he sighed: "There are seven strategies, and Yue only used five of them to realize his desire for revenge.
Since governing the country is very effective, I will use it to manage the family. "So, he traveled by boat, changed his name, changed his name to Qi, and changed his name again.
Zhu realized that living in the center of the world and extending in all directions with various vassal States, the exchange of goods was very convenient. So he managed the industry, hoarding, improvising, taking advantage of the trend, and not complaining.
Therefore, people who are good at managing and getting rich should be able to choose wise people and seize opportunities. In nineteen years, he earned millions of dollars in three times and distributed them to poor friends and distant brothers with the same surname twice.
This is the so-called gentleman who likes to be kind if he has money. Later, when Fan Li was old and weak, he listened to his children and grandchildren, who inherited and developed his career and eventually became rich.
Therefore, when future generations talk about the rich, they all praise Tao Zhugong.
9. Fan Li's contribution: Fan Li served the King of Yue Gou Jian and worked hard. After more than 20 years of planning with Gou Jian, Wu was finally destroyed and Huiji's shame was cleared.
The Vietnamese army marched north into the Huaihe River and reached the border of Qi and Jin, ordering all countries in the Central Plains to respect Zhou Shi, and Gou Jian claimed hegemony. Fan Li became a general. After returning to China, Fan Li thought that fame would not last long. Besides, as a man, Jian Jian can share his sufferings with him, but it is difficult to share his happiness with him. He wrote a farewell letter to Gou Jian, saying: "I heard that when you are worried about your officials, he will work hard and your officials will die."
You were humiliated in Huiji before, and the reason why I didn't die was for revenge. Now that I have avenged myself, I ask you to sentence me to death for humiliating the monarch at the meeting. "
Gou Jian said, "I would like to share the country with you. Otherwise, you will be blamed. "
Fan Li said: "The monarch can carry out your orders, and officials still follow their own interests." So he packed some soft jewels, left by boat from the sea with his entourage, and never returned to Yue. In recognition of Fan Li, Gou Jian took Huiji Mountain as his fief.
I went to Qi by boat and changed my name and surname, calling myself "Chen (chρ, eating) Pi". He cultivated by the sea, worked hard and produced hard, and his father and son Qi Xin worked together to manage the industry. After a short life, he accumulated hundreds of thousands of property.
When the Qi people heard that he was virtuous, they made him a state minister. Fan Li sighed: "If you live at home, you will accumulate thousands of dollars of wealth. If you are an official, you will reach a high position. This is the highest position that ordinary people can reach.
It is unlucky to enjoy a prominent reputation for a long time. "So he returned to Xiangyin, scattered all his belongings, gave them to his bosom friends, fellow villagers and neighbors, secretly left with precious treasures and lived in Tao Di.
He believes that this is the center of the world, the road to trading is smooth, and doing business can make a fortune. So he calls himself Tao Zhugong.
It is also agreed that both father and son should cultivate animal husbandry and wait for opportunities when buying and selling in order to get one-tenth of the profits. After a period of time, family assets have accumulated to 100 million.
Everyone praised Tao Zhugong. Zhu Gong lives in Tao Di and has a little son.
When the youngest son came of age, the second son of Duke Zhu killed someone and was arrested by the State of Chu. Zhu Gong said, "It is common sense that murderers refuse to die.

" Qi Huangong had to send his eldest son, who wrote a letter asking him to give it to his old friend Zhuang Sheng, and said to his eldest son, "When you arrive in Chu, you should send your daughter to Zhuang Sheng's house. You should listen to him in everything and never have an argument with him." When the eldest son left, he also took away hundreds of pieces of gold in private.
When the eldest son arrived in Chu, he saw that Zhuang's family was very close to the outer city of Chu, and he could only reach Zhuang's family by spreading weeds. Zhuang Sheng's living conditions are very poor. But the eldest son still opened the letter and gave his daughter to Zhuang Sheng, doing exactly as his father told him.
Zhuang Sheng said, "You can leave as soon as possible, and don't stay here! Don't ask why after your brother is released. " The eldest son has already left, and no longer visits Zhuang Sheng. Instead, he stays in Chu privately and gives the gold he carries with him to the powerful people in charge of Chu.
Although Zhuang Sheng lives in a poor country, he is famous for his honesty and integrity in Chu. Since the King of Chu, he has been respected as a teacher. Zhu Gong offered gold, but he didn't mean to accept it. He just wanted to give it back to Zhu Gong as a token of his credit.
So when the gold was delivered, he said to his wife, "This is Zhu Gong's money. I will return it to Zhu Gong in full later, but I don't know when. Just like you can't tell others in advance when you are sick. Do not use it. " But Zhu Gong's eldest son didn't know what Johnson meant, and thought that giving the property to Johnson wouldn't play any role.
Zhuangsheng took the opportunity to visit the king of Chu in the palace and said, "If the star moves somewhere, it will harm the State of Chu." King Chu usually trusts Zhuang Sheng and asks, "What now?" Zhuang Sheng said: "Only by practicing benevolence and morality can we avoid disaster."
King Chu said, "You don't have to say anything, I will do it." The king of Chu sent messengers to block the warehouse where San Qian was stored.
The dignitaries of the State of Chu told Zhu Gong's eldest son in surprise: "The King of Chu is going to grant amnesty to the whole world." The eldest son asked, "What do I think?" The aristocrat said, "Whenever the State of Chu asks the king for pardon, he often seals the warehouse where San Qian is stored first.
Last night, the king of Chu sent messengers to seal it up. "Zhu Gong's eldest son thinks that since the amnesty, the younger brother can be released naturally, and one thousand pieces of gold are thrown to Zhuangsheng in vain. It's useless, so he went to see Zhuangsheng again.
Zhuang Sheng asked in surprise, "Didn't you leave?" The eldest son said, "I have never left." At first, I came for my brother. Today, the State of Chu is negotiating an amnesty, and my brother was naturally released, so I came to say goodbye to you. "
Knowing that he meant to get the gold back, Zhuang Sheng said, "Go to your room and get it back yourself." The eldest son went into the house and took the gold and left Zhuangsheng, secretly glad that the gold was recovered.
Deeply ashamed of being betrayed by his children, Zhuang Sheng went to the palace again to visit the King of Chu, saying, "Last time I said something about a certain star, you said you would do something good to repay it. Now listen to passers-by outside, saying that the son of Tao Di rich man Zhu Gong was imprisoned by the State of Chu after killing, and his family sent people to bribe people around the King of Chu, so the King of Chu did not sympathize with the Chu people, just because of Zhu Gong's son. "
The king of Chu was furious: "Although I have no virtue, how can I benefit others because of the sons of the princes!" " He ordered Zhu Gong's son to be killed first, and the pardon was issued the next day. Zhu Gong's eldest son went home with his brother's body.
When I got home, my mother and neighbors were very sad. Only Zhu Gong smiled and said, "I knew my eldest son couldn't save my brother! It's not that he doesn't love his younger brother, but he just can't bear to give up. He lived with me since childhood, experienced all kinds of hardships, and knew the hardships of making a living, so he valued money very much and dared not spend it easily.
As for my little brother, I was born to see that I am rich. I went hunting in the suburbs by bus and riding a horse. I don't know where the money comes from or where it is.
