    In order not to make Duke Lu Zhuang suspicious, Xiaobai escorted Guan Zhong back to his country like a prisoner on death row.

    However, as soon as they entered Qi State, the attitude of the escorting soldiers immediately changed and they immediately treated Guan Zhong with respect. Xiaobai also bathed in the palace and fasted to show his respect.

    "Obviously, when Guan Zhong returned to his country, he wanted to be granted the title of marquis, prime minister, and be entrusted with important responsibilities.

    Bao Shuya has been looking forward to it. Although Guan Zhong always cheated Bao Shuya when he was doing business when he was young, Bao Shuya never minded, and instead marveled at Guan Zhong's talent.  So after he helped Xiaobai become the king of Qi, he fully recommended him, which was really a lie.

    Fortunately, Xiaobai is also a generous person and can listen to advice.  If it had been anyone else, not to mention Guan Zhong assassinating him, he would have been cut into pieces just by persuading Lu to send troops to attack Qi.  But Xiaobai still accepted Bao Shuya's persuasion, accepted Guan Zhong, and prepared to make Guan Zhong the prime minister of the country.

    "I heard that Guan Zhong was able to conquer the jailers around him even in the prison of Lu State, and he even brought back a cook from Lu State. Is this true?"

    "Your Majesty, this is Guan Zhong's talent. When we were young, we did business together. Every time I lost money, I was always very disappointed, but Guan Zhong could quickly find the reason for the failure and start all over again. So as long as Guan Zhong is still alive,  He will not give up and can solve the problem." Bao Shuya said cheerfully. Guan Zhong's recruitment of the cook in times of crisis was also a beautiful talk. It perfectly demonstrated Guan Zhong's talent and charm. Even the cook could see Guan Zhong's potential.  , he continued: "Even the cook can see that Guan Zhong is by no means a thing in the pool. If the king can reuse Guan Zhong, Qi will definitely stand out among other countries." Seize any opportunity to recommend Guan Zhong's talents.

    Xiaobai was also obedient, gave the highest level of reception, chose a good time and auspicious day to meet Guan Zhong, and made him prime minister.

    Yunyao also successfully became the chief cook in Guan Zhong's mansion, managing the entire kitchen.  Next, we can take a closer look at Guan Zhong's economic reform methods.

    "However, Xiaobai did not accept Guan Zhong's policies immediately. After all, he must have had great ambitions when he just took the throne. How could he listen to Guan Zhong's reform suggestions without suffering several losses?

    As soon as Xiaobai took over the throne, he started working hard, sharpening his sword, and prepared to attack his neighbors.  This act of robbing the whole country, but the monarch did it without any sense of guilt. This shows how chaotic the relationship between people and countries has become.

    Guan Zhong shook his head and complained to Bao Shuya at home: "The reason for the foreign war is that Qi has no money, but the situation of other countries is the same. Qi has no money, how can other small countries have money? Qi's problem  It cannot be solved by conquering a few small countries, the problem lies in the land."

    Bao Shuya couldn¡¯t stop eating. This was his first time to be a guest at Guan Zhong¡¯s house. He didn¡¯t expect that Guan Zhong¡¯s food was so delicious.  He is not a poor person, but he only feels that he has eaten pig food before, and now he can eat real food.

    While eating, he nodded perfunctorily.

    ¡°The well-field system is too backward. Now farmers are lazy in farming on public fields and work hard on their own private fields, resulting in less and less tax revenue from public fields. Over time, the country will become poorer and poorer.¡± Guan Zhong said.

    "Yes, it is indeed the case." Bao Shuya licked his lips, not satisfied yet: "Is this the skill of the cooks from the state of Lu? It's actually better than the food cooked in the palace."

    Guan Zhong looked at his friend with disgust. He was talking about national affairs, but he just knew how to eat. He said helplessly: "Although the king invited me to come back, he has not accepted my suggestion."

    "We have to be patient. The king is a person who knows people well and uses them well. He will definitely understand your talents. Now let's calm down and give me another pickled pork elbow."

    Guan Zhong was helpless and ordered his retainers to get another elbow.

    Bao Shuya said: "Actually, you can't blame the monarch for being anxious. Qi State really has no money now. You said that changing the well field system is naturally good, but it is too time-consuming. Is there any other faster and more convenient way?"

    "Faster and more convenient?" Guan Zhong thought to himself, how could he lay the foundation faster?  However, he also knew that if there was no faster way, Qi's economy would indeed become increasingly difficult. In the end, he might not even have the money to lay the foundation, so he could only say: "Then reduce taxes."

    "Isn't this nonsense? We already have no money, so how can we reduce taxes?" Bao Shuya didn't understand Guan Zhong's thinking. Shouldn't taxes be increased at this time?

    "I'm talking about reducing business taxes. You and I have also done business. What do you hate most when doing business?"

    "Of course it's commercial tax. It's collected when crossing customs, crossing bridges, entering the city, and setting up stalls. Before a piece of goods is sold, four cents of the tax has been spent." Bao Shuya realized something,  Said: "You mean to reduce tariffs, bridge taxes, city entry taxes, and stall taxes?"??

    "Yes, my idea is that there are two types of merchants. One is to bring goods to Qi State, and the other is to bring Qi State's goods to other places. No matter what kind of merchant they are, as long as their fleet comes, they will definitely  Promote transactions. So reducing their taxes can attract them to come to Qi. As long as they come to Qi, their goods and money can become ours."

    Bao Shuya nodded repeatedly. This is why merchants must come to Qi first.

    "Not only can we reduce duplication of taxes, but we can also provide merchants with food, accommodation, fodder, and manpower. A merchant who provides one cart of goods to Qi can provide food and accommodation, three carts of goods plus horse fodder, and five carts of goods can also be given help.  manpower." "And we want them not to take away any money when they come, but to use Qi's delicacies, beautiful scenery, and beauties to keep all the money they earned in Qi." Guan Zhong proposed to open a 'Nvlu', which is a state-run  Brothel.

    Merchants sell goods to Qi State and consume them in Qi State, keeping all the money and goods.

    Bao Shuya nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, Guan Zhong was a genius. Not only did he see the fundamental problems of Qi, but he could also come up with a plan to stimulate the economy so quickly. He was absolutely unmatched.  So in the past when doing business, he would rather suffer losses, because any losses he suffered could be earned back through Guan Zhong.

    ??If you worry about small money and break up with Guan Zhong, you have no foresight.

    As long as merchants come to Qi State, Guan Zhong can use various means to make the merchants consume obediently, thereby strengthening Qi State's economy.

    Yunyao pricked up her ears and called God directly. From a purely economic point of view, Guan Zhong's plan to stimulate consumption can be said to be directly aimed at people's hearts. It can be said that no one can refuse the temptation of consumption.

    It may seem like you¡¯re collecting less taxes, but you¡¯re actually making money in another way.

    Of course, Guan Zhong never wanted to bring bad morals. Although Qi became a big country in the future, it always stayed in a corner because it was too addicted to pleasure.  And although this kind of economic policy is exquisite, it is not cutting-edge technology after all. If other countries want to learn from it, they can also learn from it. In the later stage, they will definitely lack competitiveness.

    So Guan Zhong¡¯s economic strategy is quite excellent, but it brings bad publicity and is easy to copy.

    However, after being educated in the chaotic world, Yunyao will never underestimate Guan Zhong and just study quietly. After all, Guan Zhong is using his knowledge to change the world. Yunyao, a time traveler who has received systematic education, only needs to remain humble.  .

    Now that he has a detailed plan, Bao Shuya went to Xiaobai to discuss preparing to implement this new economic policy.

    Xiaobai was very happy and rewarded Guan Zhong with a group of dancing girls.  Once he has money, Xiaobai can prepare armaments and then rob the surrounding small countries.

    Xiaobai is obsessed with starting a war. Guan Zhong has obviously arranged a series of reform measures to allow businessmen to send money, but Xiaobai always thinks about going out to rob. What kind of crazy idea is this.

    It is probably because he wants to establish the prestige of the monarch. After all, the main reason why Xiaobai became the monarch is to run fast, not military merit or talent.

    Therefore, later generations will praise the rule of inaction, because if the monarch likes to do things too much, it is easy to expose the monarch's true IQ and level, which will arouse the contempt of the ministers and destroy his majesty.  Therefore, it is best for the monarch to do nothing and remain mysterious, so that the ministers will not be able to see through the monarch's depth and will not dare to make mistakes.

    "The more you do, the more mistakes you make, the less you make, the less you do. It's good not to do anything. Let the ministers do the work, and let the ministers take the blame. This is the emperor's mentality.
