¡°Guan Zhong is unique in the field of economic warfare and is at the forefront of the times.
Regarding Guan Zhong's new plan of "hoarding salt and waiting for the price", Yunyao just wanted to say that he should start rolling the hemp rope now so that he could hang it when Guan Zhong needed it. It would be best to prepare another street lamp pole.
At this time, Guan Zhong was watching to see if the clever cook could understand the secret of the new plan to block the salt outlet. The wonderful thing was that salt was also in urgent need. Although salt was still a luxury item for the bottom farmers, they could not eat too much, but salt It¡¯s really necessary. If you don¡¯t add salt, you won¡¯t have the energy to work.
People in the Spring and Autumn Period did not understand that table salt can produce electrolytes necessary for the human body and can balance the human body. However, sweating during physical exercise will take away a large amount of salt, so it needs to be supplemented. But they have realized that no one can avoid eating salt. If you don't eat salt, your body will collapse.
So salt is very important. Because it is important, once there is a supply problem, the price will inevitably rise. Just like food, it is directly related to people's livelihood.
"The human race cannot lack salt. This strategy is naturally feasible, but although it has made money for the Qi State, this behavior really affects the credibility of the Qi State." Yunyao said that the plan is of course very useful, and it is guaranteed to be implemented. You will inevitably be scolded.
"Haha, it's really smart. I also know that this plan is contrary to Qi's national policy of 'respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians', so I didn't tell anyone else." "But I have another plan. Now all the countries are worried about Qi's powerful meeting. Waging war against them, the armaments of Qi State directly affect the armaments of surrounding countries. As long as we, Qi State, purchase weapons on a large scale, it will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the prices of ores and weapons in surrounding countries. When the time comes, we can sell the weapons to a large extent. Make a fortune, what do you think of this plan? This plan will no longer affect the reputation of Qi State."
Yunyao said, isn¡¯t this just a routine of beating drums and passing flowers around? Artificially create false demand, wait until everyone flocks to enter the market, and then sell all the stockpiled goods, waiting for people behind to take over. Three thousand years later, humans are still playing tricks, such as speculating on virtual currencies or speculating on blind boxes.
Yunyao said that Guan Zhong would not be a time traveler, right? In fact, she didn't know that this was also one of Guan Zhong's famous economic battles, the Hengshan Plan.
Seeing Yunyao¡¯s shocked expression, Guan Zhong was very satisfied. It seemed that his new plan was indeed very good, better than Chu¡¯s purchase of deer, Lu¡¯s purchase of silk, and hoarding of salt. He is also the most satisfied with the final plan, because the first three plans all involve food and salt, both of which are necessary for everyone, so the plan is based on the human body structure.
But the weapons in the last plan are not necessary for the human race. Without weapons, the human race will not die suddenly. However, Guan Zhong created panic through Qi State, causing everyone to buy weapons to protect themselves. He took advantage of the psychological panic of the human race and turned weapons into necessities. Making huge profits by creating false demand is already the pinnacle of economic warfare in the agricultural era.
Yunyao couldn't help but think that the economic war in the Central Plains was really the peak of his debut. Later generations focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, but the economic war became more and more ineffective. In the entire agricultural era, there was no more figure like Guan Zhong.
The economy really came to life in the hands of Guan Zhong.
Not only to capture the human body, but also to capture the human psychology, it is really like selling a comb to a monk.
By hyping up demand and spreading flowers, other countries can take over Qi's offer, and Yunyao can only worship him. At this time, she only had one sentence in her mind: Guan Zhong was limited by this era.
"The Prime Minister is a great talent." Yunyao praised sincerely.
"Haha, it seems you understand it again. It's really fun to talk to you." Guan Zhong felt that Yunyao's intelligence was on the same level as his own, but Yunyao was a genius in cooking, while he was a genius in governing the country.
But now that he was about to take back his words, Guan Zhong pondered for a while: "You want me to persuade the monarch not to attack the state of Lu, but it is not that easy. Because the monarch of the state of Lu has doubts about the national policy of respecting the king and repelling the foreigners, we naturally cannot let it go. The State of Lu doubts the national policy."
Respecting the king and repelling the barbarians is the banner of Qi¡¯s future hegemony. Anyone who doubts this will have to accept Qi¡¯s sanctions.
"Lu is just a small country, Qi is a big country. Lu's questioning will not affect Qi's national policy. On the contrary, the more Lu questions, the more Qi will be more determined to respect the king and resist the foreigners. As long as it is implemented, it will not be just lip service. . In the future, when those small countries that have been invaded by barbarians realize that Qi is right, they will naturally help Qi to speak, and Lu will not open its eyes and tell lies." "Now, although Qi has proposed to respect the king and repel the barbarians, it has not taken any action , isn¡¯t it normal to be questioned? When the Prime Minister first took charge of Qi, weren¡¯t there people who questioned him? But the Prime Minister was so talented and outstanding that he finally won the respect of Qi with his strength. It can be seen that questioning is notMy sin is that King Li of Zhou Dynasty was violent and could not listen to any objections. He ordered that anyone who dared to question would be arrested. He defended the people more with his mouth than with the river. The people of the country followed the road with their eyes, which eventually led to the people rioting. So I think it is reasonable to question. It should be allowed. "
"Where did you realize this truth?" Guan Zhong was convinced after hearing Yun Yao quote the scriptures and even the story of King Li of Zhou. Because what Yunyao said was so reasonable. We really shouldn't attack Lu just because Lu raised some questions. Yunyao was right. If Qi can't do well, then there's no point in attacking Lu. But if Qi does well, Lu will eventually have no choice but to recognize Qi's national policy.
Whether the national policy can be implemented or not depends on Qi State, not Lu State.
It¡¯s just that these words coming from a cook are a bit exaggerated. Where did the cook learn so much knowledge?
Yunyao was wondering if she should punch Guan Zhong at this time and physically erase his memory? But forget it, if Guan Zhong loses his memory, then what he just said to help Lu Guo will be in vain. So Yunyao said: "This is a family tradition."
"Family tradition?"
"Yes, my ancestors are from the Baron Zhu family on the north bank of the Zhu River, but it is declining day by day. Although my generation has not stopped learning, I, a woman, do not have much to earn a living. I can only work as a cook to earn food and clothing." Yunyao Lies come from every mouth.
Guan Zhong had no doubts. He just felt that Yunyao was indeed a strange woman. He comforted Yunyao and said: "I will advise the king. The king is a wise king who obeys his advice and should stop targeting Lu."
"Thank you so much, Prime Minister."
When Yunyao left, Guan Zhong felt conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that Yunyao was a waste of talent as a cook, but on the other hand, he was greedy for Yunyao's cooking skills. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to let Yunyao stay in the kitchen.
It¡¯s not easy to deal with having a strange woman around. Because Guan Zhong believed that women were inferior to men, there was no psychological pressure in opening an official female residence. So in his opinion, women can't achieve great things, but meeting Yunyao broke his understanding. If he was a man, he could just be given a position, but Yunyao was a woman.
"Does Guan Zhongxin want Yunyao to take charge of the female relatives in the palace first?" Let¡¯s see what other talents Yunyao has besides her cooking skills. If Yunyao is really a genius among women, then it¡¯s okay to recommend her as an official. Guan Zhong is still rational. Although he likes Yunyao's cooking skills, he loves Yunyao's talent even more. As long as Yunyao performs well, he can give Yunyao a suitable official position.
