The two parties involved were both upset. Wang Liangyu curled her lips, intending not to care anymore, but unwilling to do so.
Wang Liangyu is not a nosy person to begin with. The reason why he is willing to help is just to hope that the lover will eventually get married.
This feeling is just like taking CP, who doesn’t want to watch something sweet!
After thinking about it, Wang Liangyu came up with an idea.
"Fan Li, tell me, if I ask the King of Yue for Xi Shi, will the King of Yue agree?"
Fan Li and Xi Shi, who were hugging each other and crying, were startled when they heard this, and looked at Wang Liangyu with doubtful eyes.
"Don't get me wrong!" Wang Liangyu replied and quickly explained, "What I mean is, I want Xi Tzu over here first, and then I give Xi Tzu to you!"
Xi Shi's eyelashes tremble slightly, and her watery eyes are full of expectation.
If possible, why wouldn’t Xi Shi want to stay with Fan Li?
Fan Li felt the expectation of the person in his arms, and thought for a moment, then said: "The king has always wanted to recruit you. If you ask for Xi Shi, the king will definitely agree."
"It's just..."
Fan Li didn't say anything else, and was in a dilemma.
In the past two years, Gou Jian has shown kindness and kindness several times, and he has given rewards to this and that at regular intervals. He has countless gold, jade, and treasures, and countless weapons and treasures.
But Wang Liangyu refused to accept any of them, and his refusal to solicit was obvious.
Due to emotions and reasons, as a minister of the Yue Kingdom, Fan Li hopes that Wang Liangyu can accept the call of the Yue King. However, if Wang Liangyu does something against his will because of his affairs with Xi Shi, Fan Li will feel uneasy!
"I'll exchange it for something else." Wang Liangyu smiled and waved her hand, indicating that Fan Li didn't need to think too much.
"Yi Guang will be of great use in destroying Wu. Ordinary things may not impress the king." Fan Li shook his head and did not express hope.
"What if it is more useful in destroying Wu Daye?"
Wang Liangyu asked a question with a smile, and then added, "To put it bluntly, the beauty trap is just that. In the final analysis, destroying Wu depends on your true ability, and you need to be tough to make iron!"
Fan Li's face immediately became solemn and he bowed.
"Please give me some advice, Master!"
"Fan Li, let me ask you, when the two countries fight, what will determine the outcome?"
"The general commanded, and the sergeants fought bravely."
Wang Liangyu shook her index finger and said with a smile: "This is just a human being. You have ignored two other important factors."
"The first is weapons. Armor, weapons, warships, and chariots all belong to weapons. If the weapons are strong, the army will be strong, and it will be invincible."
"The second is money. It costs money to recruit sergeants, it costs money to build weapons, it also costs money to prepare food and grass. Fighting a war means making money."
Fan Li was originally a knowledgeable person, but when he heard Wang Liangyu's words, he seemed to have some enlightenment, and his eyes suddenly shone like a bright sun.
Wang Liangyu didn't notice Fan Li's change, and continued: "I have a way to help Yue make money!"
"A lot of money!" Wang Liangyu emphasized.
The light in Fan Li's eyes disappeared and returned to normal. He looked at the confident Wang Liangyu with great expectation.
Wang Liangyu did not go into details, but instead kept it secret and said: "I also have a method of smelting iron, which can be used to make large quantities of ironware."
Compared with brittle, hard and easily broken bronze weapons, iron weapons are hard and sharp and have more advantages on the battlefield. However, due to the low smelting technology during the Spring and Autumn Period, iron weapons could never be equipped on a large scale in the army. It was not until the Han Dynasty that iron weapons truly replaced bronze.
Weapons have become mainstream.
If iron weapons and iron armor are installed, the combat effectiveness of the Yue army will be greatly improved. It can only destroy Wu in a matter of seconds, and it is possible to sweep through the Spring and Autumn Period!
Wang Liangyu could think of this, and Fan Li naturally became more aware of the huge benefits brought by iron tools. He was in a state of excitement and madness, looking at Wang Liangyu in disbelief.
"Master, what you said is true?!"
Listening to Fan Li's slightly trembling voice, Wang Liangyu nodded with a smile and asked: "If you have money and weapons, can you exchange these two methods for Xi Shi?"
"The only way to smelt iron is to give you the entire earth mountain, the king is willing!" Fan Li couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice broke when he spoke!
"Then what are you waiting for? Take me to see the King of Yue!"
Fan Li hesitated when he heard this and looked up at Wang Liangyu: "Master, are you serious about dedicating yourself to the method of smelting iron?"
"Can this be false? Of course it is true!" Wang Liangyu looked puzzled, "Not only is there a method of smelting, but there is also a way to make money!"
"Fan Li is deeply grateful for the kindness of the young master, and he will be rewarded generously in the future!" Fan Li bowed his hands and bowed to Wang Liangyu as a big gift.
Xi Shi, who was crying and laughing at the same time, also bowed, thanked her repeatedly, and looked at Wang Liangyu with grateful eyes.
Wang Liangyu comforted her, looked at the two of them, and said earnestly: "As long as you love each other and grow old together, that will be the greatest reward for me!"
People are particularly concerned about the things they don’t have, such as sweet love and a lifelong lover.
Fan Li, who was so excited, did not notice Wang Liangyu's strange mood, so he pulled Wang Liangyu and ran down the mountain and went straight to the palace.
Yuewang Palace.
After listening to Fan Li's report, Gou Jian suddenly stood up from the ground, his long neck stretched out, his mouth was sharp and narrow, and his eyes were sharp, resembling an eagle.
"Young Master, if you have something to ask for, I will definitely grant it!"
Fan Li's report only concerned Wang Liangyu's method of making money by donating smelted iron, and did not mention Xi Shi.
This cannot be said by Fan Li, only by Wang Liangyu.
"Xi Shi!" Wang Liangyu coughed lightly and said slowly, "I hope the King of Yue will part with me and reward me with Xi Shi."
Gou Jian was startled when he heard this. He turned to look at Fan Li, who was looking down at him with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered. He immediately understood.
Gou Jian knew the relationship between Fan Li and Xi Shi very clearly. As long as Fan Li did not step over the edge and did not hinder the plan to destroy Wu, Gou Jian would just let it go.
But now, Wang Liangyu offered two methods just to fulfill Fan Li?
Gou Jian was shocked and suspicious.
When did Fan Li and Wang Liangyu become so close? Fan Li is already a senior official of the Yue Kingdom, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. What if he gets the help of Wang Liangyu, a mysterious master?
Thinking of this, Gou Jian suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis, and his eyes when he looked at Fan Li became sinister, with a hint of fear and suspicion.

Noticing that Gou Jian turned to look at Fan Li, Wang Liangyu thought that Gou Jian had seen through his little trick, but he didn't take it seriously.
Wang Liangyu knew that his little trick could not be hidden from Gou Jian, and he never thought of hiding it.
Gou Jian was worthy of being a talented and strategic overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. He quickly suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and looked at Wang Liangyu with a big smile: "Okay, Gu Yun!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Liangyu and Fan Li expressed their thanks in unison.
"Master, can you tell me in detail how to make money and smelt iron?" Gou Jian glanced at Fan Li meaningfully, then turned to Wang Liangyu and asked eagerly.
"The way to make money is to sun-dry seawater and purify refined salt." Once the goal is achieved, Wang Liangyu no longer talks about it and goes straight to the point.
Salt production from seawater has been around since ancient times. The earliest method was boiling, which is the so-called sea salt boiling. However, the yield of sea salt produced by decoction was small and the quality was poor. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that seawater sun salt was available, and it was perfected after exploration.
Beach-dried salt production method.
The seawater sun salt mentioned by Wang Liangyu is used on a large scale today.
As for the purification of refined salt, it is considered a bonus.
"The method of smelting iron is what I call the steel filling method."
The steel filling method was developed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It took advantage of the characteristics of high carbon of pig iron and low carbon of wrought iron to pour molten pig iron into the wrought iron to change the carbon content and produce steel with high hardness and good performance. It was an extremely ancient method.
Advanced steelmaking technology.
Whether it is salt-making technology or iron-making technology, the Yue State has a very deep foundation. Gou Jian and Fan Li are not ignorant. After listening to Wang Liangyu's introduction, the two people immediately realized that the beach-drying salt-making method and the steel-filling method were very important to Vietnam.
How important is the country? With these two methods, Yue will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Making salt by drying on the beach can easily obtain a large amount of salt, thereby grabbing a huge amount of wealth; the steel pouring method can obtain a large amount of steel and forge it into weapons and armor, which can increase the combat effectiveness of the Yue army. If you have money and a strong army, you can restore the country and destroy Wu to avenge it, which is just around the corner.
!
"God bless the country of Yue! God bless the country of Yue!"
At this moment, Gou Jian was in high spirits and ecstatic!
