Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the two did not become friends, Yunyao's "honesty" still made Danji calm down a lot.  That's it for tonight, Yunyao will send Dan Ji back first.

    Although she is a dancer, Danji¡¯s residence is not as comfortable as that of the cook. They share the room with two people. This is because Danji is the most outstanding dancer, otherwise it would be shared by eight people.

    With the improvement of Guan Zhong's status, there are already more than 30 dancing girls in his family. Some are rewarded or given by nobles. The dancing girls are also deeply involved.

    "We'll talk about it later." Yunyao sent Danji back.

    Danji gave Yunyao a complicated look and closed the door.

    No one knows what happened tonight. The next day, Guan Zhong went about his official duties as usual, unaware that he was on the verge of death.

    Yunyao was also busy in the kitchen as if nothing had happened. While instructing everyone to select, select and cook dishes, she listened carefully to Guan Zhong's various thoughts.

    Guan Zhong was still improving the land system reform plan and proposed the idea of ????Guan Shanhai.

    It has to be said that starting from Guan Zhong, countries with some integrity will pursue reforms, and it became more obvious during the Warring States Period.  Although the reformers during the Warring States Period would not end well, the desire to become stronger was constantly awakening in the Central Plains.

    Qi State¡¯s economic changes can be said to be the most successful. It can be said that the economic development of Chinese civilization in the next three thousand years will be attributed to Guan Zhong.  Because Guan Zhong proposed Guan Shan Hai, it was the official management of ores and sea salt, which made the country rich and laid the economic foundation for a unified country.

    "Guan Zhong's economic thought will still be useful even after three thousand years. It truly captures the essence of economy.  He called it the ¡®light and heavy technique¡¯.

    To put it simply, it is to study the economic logic between commodities, currencies, and people, to study the supply and demand of commodities, the amount of currency, human nature, etc. These things are the hard core that will not change for thousands of years.

    Guan Zhong did not say anything about the invisible hand. In his opinion, everything is clear. Human nature pursues profit, so commodity prices will fluctuate. As long as this method is used, economic warfare can be fought.

    As Qi¡¯s national power became stronger and stronger, Guan Zhong did not use force against the neighbors who harassed Qi, but instead adopted economic warfare.

    For example, Guan Zhong is now planning an economic war against Lu.

    Lu Guo's Lu silk was famous all over the world. Guan Zhong suggested that Xiaobai wear Lu silk, which stimulated the Qi state to imitate it, causing the price of Lu silk to surge.

    ???????????????????????????????? Because the market in Qi State is vast and the supply of Lu silk exceeds demand, the soaring price will attract Lu people to invest in the industry of making Lu silk and abandon farming.

    Guan Zhong, who had an insight into human nature, asked the people of Qi to go to Lu State to buy grain in advance, because he knew that after a while, when Qi State no longer needed Lu Xiang, the Lu State would only have a large amount of inedible Lu Xiang, but lacked necessary food.  .  It was too late to farm again. At that time, the state of Lu could only come to the state of Qi to buy grain at a high price. Every time they came back, not only did the money earned from selling Lu's silk be returned, but the state of Lu also had to pay a sum of money to the state of Qi to buy grain.

    It means that Qi State prostituted a large amount of Lu silk for free, and at the same time made a profit from the price difference of Lu State's grain, which could severely damage Lu State's economy in one breath.  This is economic warfare.

    Although the economic war was not bloody, the damage to the Lu State was huge.

    Yunyao has been a member of the Lu State for three hundred years. Now that Guan Zhong wants to take action against the Lu State, she naturally cannot sit idly by.  She had to speak out for justice, so she asked to see Guan Zhong.

    Guan Zhong was surprised, because the cook rarely asked to see him in the past, and she always did her job diligently, but for some reason she asked to see him suddenly today.

    Naturally, he wanted to see her. After all, she was the cook who looked after him even when he was in crisis: "Let her come in."

    "I have met the Prime Minister." Yunyao bowed and saluted.

    "Well, what do you need to see me?" Guan Zhong was very generous. He has everything now. If Yunyao needs anything, he will reward her generously.

    "I heard that the monarch wanted to take action against the State of Lu and entrusted the Prime Minister to formulate the strategy of the State of Lu. I specially came to ask the Prime Minister to advise the monarch and let the State of Lu go." Yunyao said sincerely.

    Guan Zhong then remembered that the cook was also from Lu: "I didn't expect that you, a cook, would care about national affairs."

    "If the state of Lu insults the state of Qi and the state of Qi fights back, I naturally dare not say anything. But now that the state of Qi is strong, respects its king and rejects the barbarians, and is respected by the world, the state of Lu, a small state, cannot match the strength of the state of Qi. The state of Qi is humble because of its small size.  Attacked by Qi." Yunyao said that Lu did nothing wrong, at most he was jealous of Qi.

    "I can't tell you the details of national affairs. But you can rest assured that Qi State will not launch troops against Lu State." Guan Zhong comforted the cook. He found the cook very interesting. She was abroad but cared about the motherland. She was indeed very special.  Ordinary woman.  Many men don'tSuch persistence.

    "I know that the Prime Minister will definitely restart Chu State's plan to buy deer. Lu State is not as powerful as Chu State and cannot withstand such a plan."

    "You are in the kitchen every day, and you actually know my plan to buy deer from Chu?" Guan Zhong became interested. Most people can't understand this kind of plan because it is too abstract.  Even Bao Shuya and Jiang Xiaobai needed Guan Zhong to explain the operation steps, but a little cook actually knew it?

    Economic warfare is too advanced in this era. In this feudal era where everyone used knives to grab wheat when they disagreed, Guan Zhong used the economy to carry out invisible attacks on enemy countries, which was far ahead of the times.

    "Two years ago, the Prime Minister sent 80 tourists and 100 businessmen to Chu State to buy wild deer at a high price, which caused everyone in Chu State to hunt deer and neglect farming. At the same time, the Prime Minister also sent people to buy wild deer quietly.  After a period of time, the Chu State's grain was closed, and the wild deer from Chu State were prohibited from entering Qi. At the same time, Qi State's grain was prohibited from leaving Chu. In just one month, Chu State had a grain panic. After that, the Prime Minister sold it at a high price.  Grain, Chu State was severely damaged, so that Chu State no longer dared to defy Qi State. How could I not know such a clever plan?" This economic war against Lu State is to turn Chu Lu into Lu Jin, and other  The routine has not changed.

    After listening to Yunyao's precise explanation of Chu's purchase of deer, Guan Zhong was amazed. He didn't expect his own cook to be so smart: "I often hear that smart people are easy to do no matter what they do. It seems that our ancestors didn't  Lie to me. If you don't become a cook, you will definitely be able to shine in other places." One method applies to all methods. Since Yunyao can become a leader among cooks, if she changes to another field, she will definitely prosper.

    Seeing that Yunyao was so smart, Guan Zhong became interested in talents, so he asked, "Listen again to my new plan." In addition to Chu buying deer and Lu buying silk, Guan Zhong also had a new plan.

    Although routines are very useful, you can't just use one routine all the time. For a wizard like Guan Zhong, he will not be satisfied with just one trick. He wants to break through himself and go further in the field of economic warfare.

    Now it¡¯s up to Yunyao to listen to the questions.

    "The country of Qi produces salt. If we hoard all the salt now and suddenly announce in February or March that we will no longer export it to the outside world, it will only take a while. The price of foreign salt will definitely soar more than ten times. Then I will order ten times the price."  Selling salt, what do you say?¡±

    Very smart, but a bit wicked.  Yunyao said that Guan Zhong had blocked the supply chain of people's livelihood necessities, monopolized the market, and could control prices at will.
