Seeing the old man and the young man gradually disappear from his sight, Wang Li realized that the corners of his eyes had unknowingly become wet. When he raised his hand to wipe them, he found that Wang Teng's letter was still in his hand. He gently opened it and was shocked when he saw the first few words. He hurriedly stuffed the letter back.
Liu Yu saw that her husband was startled and immediately asked in confusion,"What did Teng 'er write that made you have such a big reaction?”
"No, nothing. It's just a little secret between us father and son. Yes, a little secret!”Wang Li stammered.
"Hmph, why are you being so mysterious?" Liu Yu pretended to be jealous.
Liu Yu and her husband had formed a tacit understanding over the years. She knew that there was something going on from her husband's tone. However, since her husband did not say anything, she naturally would not continue to ask. This was a woman's virtue.
Seeing that his wife did not ask further, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all the guests had left, he immediately returned to the study room alone and opened the envelope. Nine strategies for governing the country.
Father, now that the Chu clan is in a precarious situation, it will be difficult to last long. Our clan should make plans as soon as possible to avoid being buried with the Chu clan in the future. If father and son adopt the nine strategies for the country, my Wang family will definitely have the opportunity to dominate the world in the future. Therefore, I thought hard and finally came up with a plan to strengthen my Wang family. I hope father will adopt it!
1. Earn money through business.
"In the future, when the world is in chaos, whether our Wang family takes the path of armed uprising to overthrow Great Chu's brutal rule or takes the path of becoming a vassal and gradually replacing Chu, we will need a large amount of money as support. The best way to earn money is through trade.
In my grandfather's generation, my Wang Clan started off with martial arts. My grandfather, father, and uncle successively became officials and held important military positions. However, in terms of money, my Wang Clan's weakness was that doing business might bring a bad reputation to the Wang Clan, but it would strengthen my Wang Clan's strength. Thus, I sincerely request that father consider the overall situation and start the merchant caravan.
Remember not to be timid and take big steps, because the Wang family doesn't have much time to prepare. The caravan must develop in a limited time.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown. It wasn't because Wang Teng's plan was bad, but because he blamed himself for neglecting business and emphasizing politics.
After reading Wang Teng's first plan, he couldn't help but look forward to the second plan even more, so he continued reading.
2. Secretly buy food.
After the arrival of chaos, there would inevitably be a shortage of resources, currency depreciations, and so on. Food is the hard currency, and it can be said that one would not panic when one has food in hand. My Wang Clan can only grow rapidly in chaos if we have enough food. Therefore, I implore Father to secretly purchase a large amount of food. The more, the better. Don't be stingy with money. Even if you go bankrupt, it's worth it.
In a chaotic world, it was not enough to rely on peak martial strength. A large number of troops were needed.
In front of a huge army, even a Godfiend expert could not guarantee that they could retreat unscathed.
Wang Li had to admit that the two plans Wang Teng had proposed were indeed brilliant. They were simply pointing straight at the Wang Clan's current weakness, so he couldn't help but look forward to the contents of the rest.
3. The foundation.
Seeing this title, Wang Li couldn't help but frown. How was this possible! However, when he thought of Wang Teng's previous two plans, Wang Li still patiently watched on.
Father, for decades, our Wang Clan has always used the Wei City of Chu as our foundation. Our power has never left it. However, the Wei City has always been the focus of the Chu Clan's control. The Chu Clan has never relaxed its control over the Wei City. If we stay in the Wei City, our Wang Clan will not be able to truly develop. If we don't leave the Wei City, our Wang Clan will never be able to stand out.
Seeing this, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a headache. After scratching his head in distress, he was still in a dilemma. Wang Li's Intelligence had reached 90, which meant that he belonged to the high IQ group. Wang Teng didn't say that Wang Li knew about it, but knowing about it was one thing, and solving it was another.
Everyone could see the destruction of the Chu Country, but his father, Wang Wu, was grateful to the former emperor for promoting him. Wang Wu was still very loyal to the royal family.
It would be very difficult to persuade his father, Wang Wu. The reason why he had planned for the future with his son, Wang Teng, was to preserve the Wang family bloodline in this chaotic world. The only feasible path was to become powerful.
Wang Li and his son had also discussed how to strengthen themselves. Only by fighting for hegemony could they control their own destiny. Thus, the father and son decided to take a gamble in this chaotic world. Perhaps they could fight for a bright future.
No matter how capable and courageous Wang Li was, he would not dare to make a decision so easily. The growth of a family was not so simple!
Teng 'er, you've really given me a difficult problem. Whatever happens, it will happen. I'll see what you have to say next! Wang Li thought.
Father, what I said about building another base is not to completely give up Wei City. My Wang Family already has a very good foundation in Wei City, and Wei City is rich. With a little operation, it can bring a lot of benefits to my Wang Family. It is not wise to give up completely. What I said is to choose another place on the original foundation as a secret base. Then, we can develop together. Isn't it the best of both worlds?
Good! Seeing this, Wang Li couldn't help but clap his legs and cheer. Wang Teng had solved the big problem that had troubled the Wang Clan for a long time with just a few simple words. He had even pointed out the direction of future development. In addition, he had taken care of everything from the beginning to the end. It was simply flawless. Wang Li was very satisfied. The most important thing was that Wang Li did not have to persuade his father, Wang Wu. If he knew about the plan of Wang Li and his son, who knew what serious consequences would arise.
As for the new base of the family, I recommend Guanzhou for three reasons.
Firstly, the wealthier the aristocratic families of the provinces and counties, the stronger they are. As an outsider, my Wang Clan will inevitably have conflicts with the local tyrants if we forcefully interfere. Although my Wang Clan is not afraid of these families, we cannot waste our limited development time on such meaningless conflicts.
There are no top families in Guanzhou, and the local families are weak, so they don't dare to stop my Wang family from entering.
In addition, the scattered pass that father is guarding belongs to the Guanzhou territory. Father has been operating here for many years and must have formed his own team. Thus, my Wang family has the advantage of geographical location and people.
Second, Guanzhou had a population of one million, no matter how weak it was. If they could occupy the entire Guanzhou, they could get 100,000 soldiers. It might not be enough to seize the world, but it was enough to make a place to start.
Although Guanzhou was barren and sparsely populated, it had great potential for development. It was surrounded by mountains in the east and west, facing water in the south, and was blocked by dangerous passes. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If the economy is backward, we can encourage commerce and industry. If the population is sparse, we can recruit refugees. At the very least, we can plunder the population from the outside world. However, no matter how much we develop the terrain, we can't develop it.
Third, Guan Province is connected to Yu Province in the east, Great Xiongnu in the west, Si Province in the south, and Yuan Province in the north. It is the main road to the north. If we control this place, our Wang Family's merchant group will be able to grow rapidly. Only then will we have the hope of becoming a business family.
I hope father will consider these three points carefully!
After reading the three benefits Wang Teng wrote, Wang Li couldn't help but gasp. It was too shocking. No one would have thought that Guan Zhou, which was considered poor and weak in the eyes of outsiders, was a treasure land bestowed by the heavens in the eyes of Wang Teng. However, Wang Teng's analysis was indeed very reasonable. Guan Zhou was indeed the most suitable choice for the Wang family now and in the future.
In fact, Wang Teng's plan had a lot of luck in it. There were many factors that Wang Teng had not considered. In this kind of situation where he did not know, he had guessed correctly.
Wang Teng looked at the problem purely from the perspective of benefits, so he chose Guan Zhou, which could bring the most benefits to the Wang family. However, from Wang Li's point of view, he also had to consider the factional disputes between the aristocratic families, so the Wang family had no choice but to choose Guan Zhou.
