Chapter 719: The Beginning of the Prosperous Era 5

This is still the result of Lu Chengqi's kindness, otherwise, he would have been able to kill Goryeo with the economic card in minutes. www.biquge.info Lu Chengqi is not arrogant, but has a basis.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan Gong appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, Guan Zhong said to Qi Huan Gong: "All the way to govern the country must first enrich the people and know the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient and know the honor and disgrace of the country and the wealth is far away, and the land is left behind." Just these three sentences opened the status of the overlord of Qi State. The so-called: the world is surging, only the confidant is slim. The more Guan Zhong talked, the more speculative he became, and every sentence was right in the middle. So Qi Huan announced to the hundred officials: "In the major affairs of the country, the middle father has a ruling, and the middle father is left to the middle father." ”

Guan Zhong's talent has finally been put to use, and he is powerful: in his eyes, ordinary people are "people", and it is inevitable that they are indulgent and evil, greedy for money and lustful, and selfish, but there are also people with affection and affection. In the same way, officials and emperors are also "people", but with a little more ambition and responsibility. In Guan Zhong's eyes, this world is not composed of "good people" or "bad people", but by "selfish" people, so "the prosperity of government is in accordance with the people's heart". He does not emphasize morality, nor does he superstitious about power, and is pragmatic. The essence of his reform is to turn the weakness of human nature into the driving force of labor: to gather the selfishness of everyone and become the public of society. Lu Chengqi understands this, so his new policy is to praise a handful of people and beat a handful of people, but he does not kill them, leaving room for improvement. Over time, vested interest groups did not resist the New Deal, and the people welcomed the New Deal.

Guan Zhong's famous work is to launch an economic war to force the Chu State to submit. Shi Guan Zhong bought the deer of Chu at a high price, and the price of live deer in Chu was 80,000 yuan a piece, so Qi Huan Gong sent someone to bring 20 million yuan to Chu to buy it. When the king of Chu saw that it was profitable, he mobilized the whole people to catch the deer, and he didn't even care about the fields. At this time, Guan Zhong asked his minister Xi Peng to quietly buy and hoard grain in the private sector of Qi and Chu: the money earned by selling live deer in Chu was five times more than usual, and Qi purchased and hoarded surplus grain, which was also five times more than usual. As a result, the state of Chu missed the agricultural time, and at this time, Guan Zhong ordered the border with the state of Chu to be closed. As a result, the price of rice in Chu soared, and as many as four-tenths of the country's population were refugees from Chu who fled to Qi. The vitality of the state of Chu was greatly damaged, and three years later it succumbed to the state of Qi.

Soon after, Guan Zhong turned his attention to Hengshan Kingdom. At that time, Hengshan was rich in weapons, unparalleled in the world. Guan Zhong sent people to Hengshan to buy weapons at a high price a year before the army started, so the people of Hengshan gave up agriculture and turned to iron. A year later, the State of Qi sent people to buy and transport grain, and the price of grain at that time was 15 yuan per stone, but the State of Qi bought it at 50 yuan per stone. The people of other countries, including Hengshan State, transported grain and sold it to Qi State. Then, just one day before the summer harvest, the State of Qi suddenly closed the checkpoint and stopped purchasing grain and weapons from the Hengshan Kingdom. No one knows what's going on. At this time, the state of Qi suddenly countered and began to send troops across the country. At this time, Hengshan had no food available, and the weapons were almost sold out, and they could not buy food in other countries.

Of course, in Lu Chengqi's view, Guan Zhong's economic war is a bit rough, but the idea is not afraid of the old, as long as it works. As long as Lu Chengqi painted the scoop according to the gourd and bought Goryeo's ginseng at a high price, it would naturally cause the Goryeo people to abandon their fields to collect ginseng, and then send people to Goryeo to purchase grain at a high price, and then wait until there was a famine in Goryeo, and then send troops to Goryeo. In this way, the army surrendered without a fight, and the whole country of Goryeo naturally surrendered.

Lu Chengqi had already used this trick, but it was only a slight warning to Goryeo, and he didn't really beat Goryeo to death. Rao is like this, Goryeo is greatly damaged, and now even the Jurchens can't beat it.

Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, Lu Chengqi's vision is too far ahead. The Song Dynasty, another parallel time and space, sat on Baoshan without knowing it, and wasted the opportunity to dominate the Asian continent. If there was a capable minister and a Ming monarch at that time, and the Liao State was calculated with this, it is difficult to say whether the Liao State could last for fifty years, and would it still be necessary to fight to the death?

Of course, not to mention the internal struggles and contradictions in the Song Dynasty, even the internal affairs of Dashun are not very harmonious. However, Dashun is a little better than the Song Dynasty, at least Chang'an's position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, much better than Bianliang in Pingchuan. In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and has forgotten the ancient adage of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and it is also self-inflicted on itself that the country was destroyed by lightning. Coupled with the party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty, the vitality was consumed, and the forbidden army was weak, so that Jing Kang was ashamed and the courtiers hated. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei had a chance to recover the old rivers and mountains, but he was urgently recalled to Lin'an by Zhao Gou, who was worried about robbing the throne, and killed the Han martial saint Yue Fei on "trumped-up" charges. And the traitor Qin Hui has carried the black cauldron for Zhao Gou for hundreds of years, and he is not wronged, who called him a surrender faction!

The rise and fall of history is of great reference significance. Now that everything is on the right track, as long as the policy is appropriate, it is not a problem to reach the level at the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty within ten years. But in the prosperous era, the hidden crisis has gradually become prominent, the most obvious is that today's officials take advantage of the loopholes of the imperial court. In fact, this is also the inferior nature of people, just like when there is a big pot of rice in the future, since there is more work and less work, why not do a lot of help? Now it's the same way, driven by human nature, since there is a loophole in the country, others have taken advantage of it, and if you don't drill it, you are stupid. It's human nature and it's a policy loophole. If it is not stopped, it will repeat the same mistakes and destroy the country and the dynasty.

Why doesn't Lu Chengqi want to do it in one step, with the momentum of thunder, to sweep the universe strongly, and return a bright blue sky? It's just that Dashun has been established for more than 100 years, and various forces are intertwined, and they affect the whole body. It's not as simple as getting a jaesuke, it's about going against the entire bureaucracy. Even if Lu Chengqi thinks highly of himself, he doesn't dare to touch this taboo easily, if it is not handled properly, it will cause trouble to Xiao Wall, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Lu Chengqi's foundation is not stable, so he can only take one step at a time and take his time to recuperate.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi put the secret report of the Supervision Department on the Long case, and unconsciously rubbed the "Zhenshan River" with one hand, while thinking about how to make the whole people pay taxes and completely withdraw this privilege of officials. Collusion between officials and businessmen is always the fastest way to make money. If the government and business are integrated, it will be even more unbelievable. Lu Chengqi is worried, just worried about this.

"Alas, after thinking about it, I still have to have Zi Hui before I dare to give it a go......"

Lu Chengqi smiled bitterly, thinking that this is also human nature. Even if his new policy has made a lot of money and attracted a group of courtiers who are loyal to him, if there is no Zi Chong, let alone the new policy, it is the Dashun Dynasty, which is just a mirror.

"No, I work hard every day, why don't I win the lottery?"

Lu Chengqi thought worriedly, feeling that this was simply his dead end. "Do you have to calculate the date of ovulation to be hit?"

Lu Chengqi touched his pectoral muscles, biceps, and abdominal muscles, which had already been exercised to a certain scale: "It shouldn't be, my body is so strong, it's much better than the previous sub-healthy pretense...... "To be continued."
