Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first reaction of anyone who comes to Zi for the first time is to be shocked by the prosperity of Linzi. In the past few years since Guan Zhong became Zhong's father, he has made drastic changes in the system and pragmatically met the needs of the country and people, while adhering to the national policy of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians.  , Ping Chu State in the south, intimidating the Nine Barbarians in the east, and fighting against the Di people in the north, making Qi State the largest country in the East, and at the same time turning Linzi into the center of Eastern culture in the Central Plains.

    People from the surrounding countries came to seek livelihood, and the people of Qi were even more confident and held their heads high.

    Yunyao was amazed, because Guan Zhong was not a time traveler. He just adapted to local conditions and stimulated the potential of Qi according to the existing conditions. It can be said that he complied with the time, place and social changes.

    Guan Zhong saw that the well-field system had greatly reduced the enthusiasm of Chinese people and savages for farming, that the overlapping of tariffs and city taxes had reduced the enthusiasm of merchants for trade, and that the strict Zhou etiquette suppressed the consumption enthusiasm of nobles.  So he opened the shackles and released everyone's enthusiasm.

    Starting with import and export merchants, they brought a large number of goods to Qi State and also gave Qi State¡¯s special products a market.  Then there is the enthusiasm for consumption, advocating luxury, and letting the nobles take the lead in consumption.  Finally, the well-field system was reformed and land-based taxation was implemented, which allowed farmers to return to their enthusiasm for farming. From now on, all fields will be privately owned, and the state will only collect taxes based on the richness and poverty of each piece of land, and the excess will belong to the farmers themselves.

    In order to stabilize grain prices, Guan Zhong also came up with the idea of ??buying and storing grains at low prices and selling them at high prices to stabilize the market.  In response to disasters, Guan Zhong even came up with a work-for-relief method. If there was a disaster, the monarch would build palaces or build roads and water conservancy. In any case, he would gather the refugees to work.

    Therefore, the king¡¯s palace is not only a personal enjoyment, but can also become the cornerstone of national stability.

    If we really continue to develop according to Guan Zhong's method, Qi may be able to unify the world in advance.  It is a pity that although these policies are good, there is no supervision. When Guan Zhong and Xiaobai grow old, Qi will completely fall from the throne of hegemony.

    In fact, the hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period are all the same. When they are hegemonic, they are at the peak of their power. But when the king dies, there is either internal fighting in the country over the issue of inheritance, or the power of the country weakens due to the influence of the subordinates and officials.  The Qin State has been so fierce for six generations, and there are very few monarchs in the six generations who stick to the same path.

    The country is prosperous, and Guan Zhong also has a sense of accomplishment, but today Bao Shuya brought bad news: "Something happened."

    Guan Zhong saw that Bao Shu's teeth were so heavy and couldn't help but asked: "What's the matter? Is something happened to Jiuyi?" Jiuyi is also Dongyi. There used to be twelve tribes in Dongyi, but now there are only nine left, and nine tribes  Almost all of them have been conquered by Qi State.

    Bao Shuya told Guan Zhong that something strange had happened: "It is indeed Jiuyi. The envoy we sent has gone crazy. He said he saw a monster and talked nonsense. The king asked me what to do, so I came to discuss it with you."  Jiuyi has many legends since ancient times and worships witchcraft. Do you think someone has used witchcraft? And this is not the first time."

    Guan Zhong also remembered what happened last time: "Last time, the king's concubine suddenly went crazy and attacked the king. Later it was found that Jiuyi poisoned the concubine and caused the concubine to go crazy. The reason was that Qi State ordered Jiuyi to surrender. Do you think it was also poisoned this time?"

    But Bao Shuya shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this time it's more evil than poisoning. After the envoy came back, he kept carving words at home, even on his arms and belly, all with the words 'Ten Deaths'."

    "Ten deaths?" Guan Zhong didn't understand at all.

    Bao Shuya didn't understand either, but he said: "The king wants to send troops, but my idea is to send another group of envoys to investigate, but there should be a few more alchemists among the envoys." "Actually, I have already had the idea to establish an army.  There is an army dedicated to investigating strange forces and chaotic gods, but there is no suitable opportunity, so I want to use this opportunity to build up the army."

    "You really believe that there will be monsters making trouble in the world. I told you it was just a dream." Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya have always been friends, so they know each other very well.  Guan Zhong often took advantage of Bao Shuya when he was young, but Bao Shuya would not complain again. There was only one thing that Bao Shuya was very stubborn about, and that was that he had a nightmare when he was young. In the nightmare, there were man-eating monsters causing trouble in the world.  Let him be upset.

    It¡¯s just that Bao Shuya didn¡¯t have much status at the time, so he just let it be.  Now that he has become a minister, he has seen more and more strange things, and the influence of nightmares has become more and more serious, so he came up with the idea of ??building a special force to fight against unknown enemies.

    This time, almost all the envoys sent to Dongyi were wiped out, and the survivors also fell into madness, so he thought that this was the right time to propose to the monarch. As long as his friends supported him, the monarch would definitely want money to give money and people to give to others.

    Guan Zhong also wanted to persuade Bao Shuya, but he saw that Bao Shuya was extremely serious, as ifIt is an expression of not giving up until success.

    "Then what are you going to do?" Guan Zhong asked.

    "Alchemists are a must. I also want to select a few swordsmen from the disciples, and then find a swordsmith to specially make iron swords, so that this small but elite army can investigate this matter. But it will cost a lot.  Quite a few, so you definitely need to convince the monarch to provide the expenses."

    Guan Zhong thought that if the king was asked to spend money for a nightmare, the king would definitely not be willing to do so.

    "Only when you can find evidence can you convince the king. You can't say that because you had a nightmare when you were young, you have to spend a lot of money to raise an army." Guan Zhong said: "Let's do this. I will pay the money first, and we will pay first.  Form an army and go to Jiuyi to investigate. If there are really monsters, it will not be too late to report them to the king. If it is just poison from Jiuyi, it proves that your dream is really just a dream."

    Hearing Guan Zhong¡¯s safe arrangement, Bao Shuya couldn¡¯t help but nod: ¡°That¡¯s fine. But in order to select the best swordsman, I want to arrange a sword fighting competition.¡±

    "That's no problem. I think the monarch will also support it." Guan Zhong said that the sword fighting conference was a pretty good idea.

    In the past, collective activities were for unity, but now collective activities have become a symbol of strength.  The ability to engage in international collective activities is a symbol of a powerful country with money and power. In the past, only Emperor Zhou could engage in international activities, but now Qi can do it as well.

    Guan Zhong said that if he wanted to do something big, he would not only let swordsmen from Qi State fight swords, but also let swordsmen from surrounding countries come together. Only in this way could the national will of Qi State be demonstrated.

    "How about we invite famous swordsmen from all over the world and invite them all to come to Qi to participate in the sword fighting competition."

    After hearing this, Bao Shuya directly called Guan Zhong or Guan Zhong. As expected, he still had to look after Guan Zhong when he got into trouble.

    So the two told the king about this idea, and Xiaobai said, isn't this very interesting?  "Sword fighting conference? Okay, it's interesting. Let's do it according to your ideas. We will invite famous swordsmen from all over the world to come to Qi State to compete. The winner will be given the title of 'Sword Master' and will be rewarded with fertile land and treasures.  .¡±

    Bao Shuya was thinking about the country of Qi at first, and Guan Zhong only talked about the surrounding countries. When Xiaobai came to his mouth, he immediately thought of the whole world, and the scope was expanded again and again.

    The State of Qi immediately sent troops to visit famous swordsmen from various places. For a time, there was a movement in all directions and the world was shocked.

    Yunyao was also shocked, saying that the people of Qi were really capable of causing trouble, but she also suspected that the things in Jiuyi had something to do with monsters and monsters.
