Wei Ziheng also sighed with emotion after listening to it. After absorbing this, compared to talents, Qi Huan Gong is really a little faint. Compared with the later Jin Wengong, it looks like a world of difference when you look closely.

Similarly, you can also feel some emotions in Tian Tao's words.

But from a closer look, who is it attributed to, the Qi country surnamed Jiang may be really, unsatisfactory!

But despite this, Tian Tao still said: "You may not know much, the current Qi country may not be so peaceful. ”

Wei Ziheng nodded and said, "I know one thing, it seems that most of the current power of the Qi State is in the hands of your Tian clan. And it seems that the people of the current Qi State no longer love the king of the Jiang family, but your Tian family. ”

Tian Tao smiled indifferently and said casually: "Although you are an outsider, there are some things that many people of Qi know about. ”

Wei Ziheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, he was also thinking about it, sucking in the Duke of Qi Huan he had seen in ancient books.

During his reign, Duke Qi Huan devoted himself to dividing and rectifying administrative divisions and institutions, dividing the national capital into six industrial and commercial townships and fifteen scholar townships, a total of 21 townships. The fifteen Shixiang were the main source of soldiers for the Qi State. Duke Qi Huan managed five townships by himself, and Shangqing Guozi and Gaozi each managed five townships.

He divided the state government into three departments and formulated a three-official system. There are three officials in the ranks. The industry is three families, the business is three townships, the Sichuan Ze industry is three Yu, and the mountain forestry is three balances. Thirty families in the suburbs are one town, and each town has a judge. Ten Yi is a pawn, and each pawn has a division. Ten pawns are a township, and each township has a township division. The three townships are one county, and each county has a county division. The ten counties are a genus, and each genus has a doctor. There are five genera in the country, and there are five doctors. At the beginning of each year, the five doctors report the situation in the genus to Qi Huan Gong and supervise his merits. As a result, the whole country was formed as a unified whole.

Duke Qi Huan emphasized that the army should be used in agriculture, and stipulated that the five families in the national capital should be one track, and each track should have a track length. Ten tracks are one mile, and each mile has a division. Four miles is a company, and each company has a company commander. The ten companies are a township, and each township has a good person in charge of the township's military orders. In wartime, an army was formed, with one person from each household, five people per track, and five people as a team, led by the track commander. There are fifty people in one mile, and fifty people are a small army, led by Li Yousi. A company of 200 people, 200 people as a pawn, led by the company commander. There are 2,000 people in one township, and 2,000 people are one brigade, led by the township people. There are 10,000 people in Wuxiang, and a marshal is established, and 10,000 people are an army, led by Marshal Wuxiang. Duke Qi Huan, Guozi, and higher than the three are marshals.

In this way, the army organization was closely integrated, and the army was trained by hunting every spring and autumn, so that the combat effectiveness of the army was improved. At the same time, the Duke of Qi Huan also stipulated that the people of the whole country were not allowed to move at will, and people lived in unity among themselves, so that they could fight at night, and they could distinguish between friend and foe only by hearing sounds; Fighting during the day, as long as you see your face, everyone can recognize it.

In order to solve the army's weapons, Qi Huan Gong stipulated that crimes could be atonement for crimes with armor and weapons. If you commit a felony, you can atone for it with a halberd and a halberd. If you commit a misdemeanor, you can atone for it with a halberd. Minor sins can be atoned for with brass and iron. This alleviates the problem of insufficient equipment in the army.

In the reform, Guan Zhong proposed the land tax policy of "collecting taxes in the same way as the land declines", that is, according to the different quality of the land, the amount of taxes to be levied. In this way, the tax burden tends to be rational and the people's enthusiasm for production is enhanced. He also advocated the development of the economy, the accumulation of wealth and currency, the establishment of "light and heavy nine prefectures", to observe the good times and the needs of the people, to collect and distribute grain and goods. It also stipulates that the state mints coins, develops fisheries and salt industries, and encourages trade with foreign countries. Huan Gong vigorously promoted these economic policies, and the economy of Qi began to prosper.

Such a merit, such a policy for the benefit of the people, would be like this.

As the saying goes, a lifetime of wisdom is ruined. Qi Huan Gong is indeed a generation of overlords, but what he did in his later years makes it difficult to have a good impression of him. In the long run, it was precisely because of the mediocrity of his later years that led to the current situation of the later Qi State.

Although the Qi State later produced the virtuous minister of the banquet baby, this still could not change the status quo of the Qi State.

Unlike the other princes, the people of his kingdom felt very disgusted with the Qi nobles of the Jiang clan.

Even in the era of infant feasting.

Yan Ying is the son of Yan Weak, the doctor of Qi State, and his birth year is unknown. In the twenty-sixth year of Qi Linggong, Yan died of illness, and Yan Ying succeeded him as a doctor.

In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Qi Linggong, the Jin State sent the Bank of China to sacrifice his son to kill Qi. The Qi army was defeated, and Linggong ran into Linzi City. Yan Ying dissuaded Linggong, but Linggong did not listen. Yan Ying said: "Our monarch is too courageous. "The Jin soldiers surrounded Linzi, and the Qi people guarded the inner city and did not dare to attack, and the Jin army burned the outer city and left.

In the third year of the reign of Qi Zhuang, Luan Ying, the secretary of the Jin State, defected to the Qi State. Previously, Qi Guo had sworn an oath with Jin Guo and others in business in the second year of Zhuang Gong, so as to imprison Luan Ying, Yan Ying persuaded Qi Zhuang Gong with the words of "dishonesty and non-establishment", but Zhuang Gong did not accept advice. Afterwards, Yan Ying told Chen Wenzi in private that the monarch would not be able to last long.

In the fourth year of the Duke of Qi Zhuang, the Duke of Qi Zhuang set out from the defense of the country and would attack the Jin State from there. Yan Ying said: "If the king relies on his courage to attack the alliance leader, if it is not successful, it is a blessing for the country. If there is no virtue but merit, sorrow will inevitably come to you. Cui Shu also advised: "No. Your Majesty has heard that a small country will inevitably suffer calamity if it takes advantage of the disaster of a large country and destroys it. The king is to think about it. Qi Zhuang Gong did not accept the suggestion of the two and insisted on attacking Jin, but the Qi army was pursued by the Jin army when they retreated.

In the sixth year of Qi Zhuang Gong, in May, Qi Zhuang Gong was killed by Cui Zhu, after Yan Ying heard about it, regardless of his personal safety, he resolutely took his entourage to Qi Capital to mourn Zhuang Gong. Yan Ying broke into Cui's house alone, took off her hat, beat her chest, desperately threw herself on the corpse of Qi Zhuanggong, cried loudly, and then got up and left; Cui Zhu's left and right wanted to kill Yan Ying, Cui Zhu said: "He is the person that the people look up to, let him go, I can get the hearts of the people." ”

In the sixth year of the Duke of Qi Zhuang, Cui Zhu established the half-brother of the Duke of Zhuang as the king, that is, the Duke of Qi Jing. After Jing Gong ascended the throne, let Cui Zhu be the right minister and Qingfeng be the left minister. The two ministers of state, fearing internal turmoil and instability, said: "Whoever does not want to swear an oath with the two of us will die." Yan Ying refused to participate in the oath. Qingfeng wanted to kill Yan Ying, but Cui Shu said: "He is a loyal minister, let him go." ”

In the third year of Qi Jinggong, Qingfeng's power was cleared from Qi State, and Jing Gong gave Yan Yingshao Hall and sixty cities along its border, but Yan Zi did not accept it. Ziwei admired Yan Ying's character very much because of this.

In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Jing of Qi, Wu Jizha went abroad to ask for an appointment in the State of Qi, and when he was hired in the State of Qi, he had a good time with Yan Ying and said to him: "You should quickly return the fiefdom and the political power." There is no fiefdom and no political power, so that we can avoid disaster. The regime of Qi will belong, and if it does not belong, the calamity will not stop. Therefore, Yan Zi returned the power and fiefdom through Chen Huanzi, so he was saved from the disasters launched by the Luan clan and the Gao clan.

In the ninth year of Qi Jinggong, Qi Jinggong sent Yan Ying to ask Jin to marry his daughter to be his stepfamily, and Yan Ying privately said to Jin Dafu Xiang: "The Qi State regime will eventually return to the Tian family." Although Tian does not have great merits, he can use official affairs to give private favors, and he has kindness to the people and is supported by the people. Shu Xiang said: "The Jin Kingdom is in the last days. Pinggong levied heavy taxes on the people to build ponds and pavilions, but did not do political affairs, and government affairs fell under the private door, can it last? Yan Zi agreed.

Before Yan Zi went to the Jin Kingdom, Qi Jinggong proposed to renovate Yan Zi's residence, but Yan Zi refused. When Yanzi traveled to the Jin Kingdom, Jing Gong renewed his residence. When he returned home, it was done. After Yan Zi thanked him, he demolished it and rebuilt the houses of his neighbors as they had been, and then let the original occupants return to live there, saying: "As the saying goes, 'Choose not a house, but a neighbor.'" These men have already chosen their neighbors for divination. It is unlucky to violate divination. A gentleman does not commit indecent things, and villains do not violate unlucky things, this is the ancient system. Do I dare to disobey it" Yan Zi finally restored his old mansion. At first, Jing Gong did not allow it, but Yan Zi asked Chen Huanzi to ask for it, and only then did he allow it.

In the eleventh year of Qi Jinggong, Zheng Guo's Zipi went to Qi State, and Yan Zi repeatedly visited him. Chen Huanzi asked him why, and Yan Zi replied: "If you can appoint good people, you are the master of the people." ”

In the twelfth year of Qi Jinggong, Qi Jinggong attacked Northern Yan and planned to send Yan Jian Gong back. Yan Zi said: "I can't send it back." Yan has a monarch, and the people have no two hearts. Our monarch is greedy for money, and the people on the left and right are flattering, and there is no possibility of success if we do not rely on faith and righteousness to do great things. ”

In the sixteenth year of Qi Jinggong, a rebellion broke out in Qi State, Luan, Gao, Chen, and Bao. The four families summoned Yanzi, but he didn't go anywhere. His subordinates said: Help Chen, Bao? Yan Zi said, "What's the benefit?" The subordinates said: "Help Ziqi and Ziliang Yanzi said: "Is it better than helping Chen and Bao?" "Shall you go back then?" Yan Zi said: "The king has been attacked, where is he going back?" Qi Jinggong summoned Yan Zi before entering the palace. Jing Gongbu asked Wang Hei to lead the troops to fight with the Linggu banner, which was a good omen. Request to cut off the flagpole three feet and use it. One day in May, there was a battle at Jidi, Ziqi and Ziliang were defeated, and they were defeated in Zhuangdi. The men of the capital pursued them and defeated them at Lumen. Ziqi and Ziliang fled to Lu State. The Chen family and the Bao family divided their family property. Yan Zi said to Chen Huanzi: "You must hand over their family property to the monarch." Humility is the main content of virtue, and humility is called virtue. All flesh and blood have a desire to compete, so interests cannot be taken by force, and morality is better than competing for interests. Morality is the foundation of interests, and accumulating too much benefits will produce harm. Let's not save for the time being, you can grow it slowly. Chen Huanzi handed over all the property of Ziqi and Ziliang to Qi Jinggong, and asked the old man to retire to Judi.

In the seventeenth year of the reign of King Jing of Qi, Yan Zi sent an envoy to the state of Chu, and the king of Chu wanted to humiliate Yan Zi many times, but Yan Zi resolved it, and the king of Chu felt ashamed and sent Yan Zi back to the state of Qi with generous gifts.

In the twentieth year of Qi Jinggong, Tian Kaijiang, Gongsun Jie, Gu Yezi served the king of Qi, proud of his achievements, Yan Zi and two peaches killed three soldiers, and used a plan to make three people commit suicide, after the death of the three people, Jin and Chu took advantage of the chaos to attack, so Yan Zi recommended Tian Sui Tho to Qi Jinggong, saying: "Although Sui Tho is the son of the Tian family's concubine, his literary talent makes everyone obey and obey; Martial arts can make enemies fearful. I hope the king will try him. So Qi Jinggong summoned Sui Tho and discussed military affairs with him, and Qi Jinggong was very happy and immediately appointed him as a general.

In the twenty-sixth year of Qi Jinggong, Jinggong hunted in the suburbs of Lu State, and then entered the capital of Lu State, and consulted with Yan Ying about the etiquette system of Lu State. Qi Jinggong had scabies, and then malaria, and he did not recover for a year, Yan Zi took this opportunity to persuade Qi Jinggong to let the officials relax the decree, remove the checkpoints, repeal the ban, reduce taxes, and exempt debts.

In the thirty-second year of Qi Jinggong, Qi Jinggong was worried about the appearance of comets in the sky, so Yan Zi took the opportunity to advise Jinggong to reduce his tax burden and conscription. In the same year, Confucius fled to the state of Qi, and Yan Ying persuaded Qi Jinggong not to give Confucius a fief.

In the forty-eighth year of Qi Jinggong, Yan Zi died and was succeeded by his son Yan Yu. When Yan Zi died, Qi Jinggong was extremely sad, and even made an impolite act to mourn Yan Ying.

The above is the major event of the baby's life.

In a short life, he has done very meaningful things, and from the perspective of a courtier, he is undoubtedly great.

But he is not enough to change the status quo of his country, and just like Jin Xiangong, he cannot change his cruel and murderous behavior. Sometimes, once the root cause of disease is born, it is difficult to remove it.

How long can Jiang's Qi Kingdom last? Who doesn't know?
