Chapter 336: A War Without Bloodshed and Without Death

Satsuki has always felt that a good teacher should teach students something else in addition to book knowledge. /p

Like what is the truth of life, self-confidence and diligence to and so on. /p

She understands the students' lack of confidence. /p

"Don't be presumptuous, no one can say what will happen in the future. Okay, let's gossip and move on to the story. ”/p

At this time, Yun Yan had already written "Economic War-Trade War-Food War" on the back wall, and then walked to the front door and sat down to listen to Xiaoyue's lecture. /p

In fact, the emperor of Qi also had some doubts about this suggestion. Prime Minister Guan continued: 'If we buy their linen cloth at a high price, the subjects of their country will surely find it profitable to grow and weave linen. In this way, their fertile fields were no longer cultivated with grain, but with hemp, and their people were not doing anything other than weaving linen. ”/p

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yue smiled and said to the students in the audience: "Can you guess Prime Minister Guan Cheng's intentions now?"

Maybe the students can't guess the deep meaning of this strategy, but everyone is still silent. /p

Only Huang Shikang asked curiously: "Master, can his strategy really work?

Xiao Yue said unhurriedly: "This story is not over yet, I will continue to tell you." ”/p

"Although the emperor of Qi had doubts, he still followed the method of managing the prime minister. Within ten days he had changed all his clothes into sackcloth. Then the prime minister went to the merchants of Lu and Liang and said to them, 'Sell me a thousand pieces of sackcloth, and I will give you three hundred pieces of gold, and sell ten thousand horses, and give you three thousand pieces of gold.' ”/p

Looking at the surprised expressions of everyone on the stage, Xiao Yue continued: "This matter soon reached the ears of the emperors of Lu and Liang, and they found that in this way, even if they did not collect taxes from the people, the treasury was sufficient. Therefore, the emperors of these two kingdoms asked their people to weave linen. ”/p

At this time, Liu Zitao sighed softly in the audience: "It seems that money can make ghosts grind, this is true!"

Xiao Yue was close and heard his words clearly, she continued with a smile: "A year has passed, Prime Minister Guan sent people to Lu and Liang to listen. The spies found that the cities of the two countries were so populous that the roads were so dusty that they could not see each other clearly within ten paces, and that they walked without lifting their heels, and that the wheels of their cars collided, and that they were walking in procession on horseback. Prime Minister Guan said to the emperor of Qi State: "We should be able to take the two kingdoms of Lu and Liang." ”/p

The crowd under the podium was even more surprised, and some people directly exclaimed: "Why is this?

Someone next to him dissuaded: "Don't speak, wait for the master to continue." ”/p

Xiao Yue smiled and continued, "The emperor of Qi is like you, he can't figure out the situation either, he asked, 'What should we do?'

The students under the podium laughed when they heard this. /p

Xiao Yue continued: "Prime Minister Guan's reply to him was: 'Your Majesty, you should change to cotton clothes, and at the same time let the people stop wearing linen. It is also necessary to close the checkpoints and cut off economic and trade exchanges with Lu and Liang. ”/p

Without waiting for the students to ask questions, Xiao Yue continued: "Ten months later, Prime Minister Guan sent spies again, and they saw the hundred of the two countries

Gradually, the surname fell into starvation, and he could not even pay the normal taxes of the imperial court. The kings of the two countries ordered the people to stop weaving hemp and farm, but the grain could not be produced within a few months. The people of Lu and Liang spent thousands of taels of silver per stone to buy grain, while the price of grain in Qi was only ten taels of silver per stone. Two years later, more than half of the people of Lu and Liang moved to Qi. After that, after another three years, Lu and Liang surrendered to Qi and submitted to Qi. ”/p

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she pointed to a few big words on the wall behind her and said: "This story is a typical economic war, Prime Minister Guan not only used a trade war, but also a food war. Without a single soldier, two countries were taken. ”/p

Maybe it's because what Satsuki says is beyond the understanding of people in this world, or maybe it's because I'm deeply fascinated by Satsuki's story. /p

The students in the room fell into a surprising silence. /p

Xiao Yue looked at the drip at the door and found that there was not much time for class, she said with a smile: "For this story, if you have anything you want to ask, please ask questions as soon as possible, I see that time is running out, I will leave in a while, but I can't solve your doubts." ”/p

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately stood up, "I'm me, I'm having a problem!"

This person stammered a little because he was excited. Xiao Yue fixed her eyes and saw that this person was Sun Taicheng in Zhang Zhenhaikou. /p

Sun Taicheng hurriedly said, "Master, why。。。。。 Halfway through that, he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say. /p

When the students were about to boo him, he stamped his foot and stifled a sentence, "Why should the prime minister's strategy work, how does he know that the other two countries will act according to his strategy? How can it be so easy to surrender without a fight, I doubt the authenticity of this story!"

Xiao Yue said with a smile: "This question is a good question, let me explain in advance, this story is true, maybe it exists in the history books you haven't read, maybe even if you have read it, but you haven't understood it." Let me add to you that the story is true because it works. Just like we know some simple truths, such as people die for money, birds die for food. So, if there's one thing that makes you profitable, don't you do it?"/p

Some students in the audience nodded, and some still stiffened their necks and raised the bar with her, "If you know that you are going to lose the country, you won't be greedy for cheapness!"

"Hahaha!" Satsuki laughed and said, "Before everything happens, who would have believed that little sackcloth would be the reason for the death of the country." Even if I tell you this true story today, aren't there people who don't believe that this story is true?"/p

The students in the room fell silent again. /p

"No one can predict what will happen in the future, but Prime Minister Guan predicted it, and he knows that agriculture is the foundation of a country. He used huge profits to induce enemy countries to vigorously encourage the people to make linen, and they planted, weaved, and sold linen throughout the country. In the end, agriculture was abandoned. It is also clear to everyone that this grain is only planted and harvested once a year, and if it is not planted this year, it will not be possible to restore the output in a short time and a half. After that, the Qi State suddenly restricted the sale of grain to these two countries, and at the same time stopped buying sackcloth, the two enemy countries would immediately fall into a desperate situation, the people had nothing to eat, and no one bought the sackcloth, so they could only flee to the Qi State, and the two enemy countries surrendered without a fight. ”/p

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she said with a smile: "This is what I told you in the last class, in fact, there is a kind of war, which can be bloodless and immortal." This is economic warfare, and this prime minister is the originator of economic warfare. ”/p
