Chapter 292: Little White Player
In order not to make Lu Zhuanggong suspicious, Xiaobai escorted Guan Zhong back to China by escorting death row prisoners.
However, as soon as they entered the Qi Kingdom, the attitude of the escorted soldiers immediately changed, and they immediately treated Guan Zhong with respect, and Xiaobai also bathed and fasted in the palace to show his attention.
Obviously, Guan Zhong's return to China was to pay homage to the prime minister and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Uncle Bao has been looking forward to it, although he has always been Guan Zhongpit Bao Shuya when he was in business when he was young, but Uncle Bao never minded, but was amazed by Guan Zhong's talent. So after he helped Xiaobai become the monarch of Qi State, he recommended it with all his might, which was really a mouthful.
Fortunately, Xiaobai is also a generous person, and he can also listen to persuasion. If it were someone else, not to mention that Guan Zhong assassinated himself, just by persuading Lu Guo to send troops to attack Qi State, he would already be able to break his body into thousands of pieces. But Xiaobai still accepted Uncle Bao's persuasion, accepted Guan Zhong, and prepared to seal Guan Zhong as the Minister of State.
"I heard that Guan Zhong was able to conquer the jailers around him even in the prison of Lu State, and he also brought back a cook lady from Lu State, but is there such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, this is Guan Zhong's talent, when we were young, we did business together, every time I lost money, I was always very disappointed, but Guan Zhong can quickly find the reason for the failure, and then start all over again, so as long as Guan Zhong is still alive, he will not give up, and he can solve the problem." Uncle Bao said happily, Guan Zhong's danger of recruiting a cook is also a good talk, it is a perfect demonstration of Guan Zhong's talent and charm, even the cook can see Guan Zhong's potential, he continued: "Even the kitchen can see that Guan Zhong is by no means a thing in the pool, if the king can reuse Guan Zhong, Qi will definitely be able to stand out among the countries." "Take every opportunity to recommend Guan Zhong's talent.
Xiaobai was also obedient, did the highest standard reception, selected a good day and an auspicious day to meet Guan Zhong, and named him the prime minister.
Yun Yao also successfully became the chef in Guan Zhong's mansion, managing the entire kitchen. Next, we can take a closer look at Guan Zhong's economic reform methods.
However, Xiaobai did not immediately accept Guan Zhong's policy, after all, he must have ambitions just after succeeding to the throne, and if he doesn't suffer a few losses, how can he listen to Guan Zhong's suggestions for change?
As soon as Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, he sharpened his sword, and prepared to find the surrounding neighbors. The fact that the monarch did not have any sense of guilt at all in this kind of robbery of the whole country shows how chaotic the relationship between people and between countries has become.
Guan Zhong shook his head and complained to Uncle Bao at home: "The foreign war is because the Qi country has no money, but the situation of all countries is the same, the Qi country has no money, how can other small countries have money?" The problem of Qi is not at all solved by capturing a few small countries, the problem is on the land. ”
Uncle Bao couldn't stop eating, this was the first time he came to Guan Zhong's house as a guest, he didn't expect Guan Zhong's food to be so delicious. He is not a poor person, but he only thinks that he used to eat pig food, and now he has eaten real food.
While eating, he nodded perfunctorily.
"The well field system is too backward, and now farmers are lazy in cultivating public land and working their own private land, resulting in less and less tax revenue on public land, and the country will become poorer and poorer in the long run." Guan Zhong said.
"Yes, it does." Uncle Bao licked his mouth, and he hadn't eaten it yet: "Is this the craft of Lu Guo's chef?" It's even better than the palace diner. ”
Guan Zhong looked at his friend with disgust, he was talking about a national event, but he knew how to eat, and said helplessly: "Although the monarch invited me back, he has not accepted my suggestion. ”
"We have to be patient, the king is a man who knows how to use people, and will definitely understand your talents. Now let's take a moment and bring me another sauce elbow. ”
Guan Zhong was helpless and ordered his retainer to fetch another elbow.
Uncle Bao said: "Actually, you can't blame the monarch for being anxious, Qi is really out of money now." You said that changing the well field system is naturally good, but it is too time-consuming, is there any other faster and more convenient way? ”
"Faster and easier?" Guan Zhong thought to himself, how can it be fast to lay the foundation? However, he also knew that if there was no faster way, the economy of Qi would indeed become more and more difficult, and in the end, he might not even have the money to lay the foundation, so he could only say: "Then reduce taxes." ”
"Isn't this nonsense, we don't have any money in the first place, how can we cut taxes?" Uncle Bao didn't understand Guan Zhong's thinking, shouldn't he raise taxes at this time?
"I'm talking about reducing business taxes. You and I have done business, what do you hate the most when you do business? ”
"Of course, it's a commercial tax, you have to collect it when you pass the customs, you have to collect it when you cross the bridge, you have to collect it when you enter the city, you have to collect it when you set up a stall, and if you haven't sold a piece of goods, you have to spend four cents of the tax." Uncle Bao realized something and said, "You mean to reduce customs duties, bridge taxes, city entry taxes, and stall taxes?" ”
"That's right, my idea is that there are two kinds of merchants, one is to bring goods to Qi country, and the other is to take Qi country's goods to other places, no matter what kind of merchant it is, as long as their convoy comes, it will definitely promote trade. Therefore, reducing their taxes can attract them to come to Qi country, and as long as they come to Qi country, then their goods and money can become ours. ”
Uncle Bao nodded again and again, this is the truth, you have to let the businessmen come to Qi Country first.
"Not only can we reduce duplicate taxes, but we can also provide food, lodging, forage and manpower to merchants, merchants who provide one cart of goods to Qi can provide food and lodging, three carts of goods plus horse forage, and five carts of people can also send people to help." "And we can't take the money with them when we come, and use the food, beauty, and beauties of Qi to keep all the money they earn in Qi country." Guan Zhong proposed to open a 'Nulu', that is, a state-run green building.
Merchants sell goods to Qi State, and they have to spend in Qi State, leaving all the money and goods.
Uncle Bao nodded again and again, sure enough, Guan Zhong was a genius, not only saw the fundamental problems of Qi State, but also could come up with a plan to stimulate the economy so quickly, he could never compare. So in the past, when doing business, he would rather suffer losses, because the losses he suffered could be earned back through Guan Zhong.
If you are calculating for a small amount of money and quarreling with Guan Zhong, it is not far-sighted.
As long as the merchants came to the Qi country, Guan Zhong could make the merchants obediently consume through various means, so as to strengthen the economy of the Qi country.
Yun Yao pricked up his ears and called God man, purely from an economic point of view, Guan Zhong's set of stimulating consumption can be said to be directly aimed at the hearts of the people, and it can be said that no one can refuse the temptation of consumption.
It seems to be less taxed, but in fact, it is a way to make money.
Of course, Guan Zhong didn't want to bring a bad atmosphere, although Qi was a big country in the future, it has always been in a corner of peace in the end, and it is also because he is too addicted to pleasure. Moreover, although this kind of economic policy is exquisite, it is not a cutting-edge technology after all, and other countries can learn if they want to learn it, and it will definitely lack competitiveness in the later stage.
Therefore, Guan Zhong's economic strategy is quite good, but it has a bad atmosphere and is easy to replicate.
However, after the education of the chaotic world, Yun Yao will never underestimate Guan Zhong, but just study quietly, after all, Guan Zhong is using his knowledge to change the world, and Yun Yao, a time-traveler who has received systematic education, only needs to remain humble.
Now that he had a detailed plan, Bao Shuya went to Xiaobai to discuss the implementation of this new economic policy.
Xiaobai was very happy and rewarded a group of dancing girls to Guan Zhong. When he has money, Xiaobai can prepare armaments and then go to rob the surrounding small countries.
Xiao Bai is obsessed with starting a war, obviously Guan Zhongdu has arranged a series of reform measures, so that businessmen take the initiative to send money over, but Xiao Bai always wants to go out and rob, what kind of brain-dead idea is this.
It is estimated that he wants to establish the prestige of the monarch, after all, the main reason why Xiaobai became the monarch is to run fast, not military merit or talent.
Therefore, later generations admired the rule of inaction, because if the monarch likes to do things too much, it is easy to expose the true IQ and level of the monarch, which will cause the contempt of the ministers and will sweep away the majesty. Therefore, it is better for the monarch to do nothing and remain mysterious, so that the minister will not be able to see through the depth of the monarch and will not dare to make a mistake.
Do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do well, let the minister do things, let the minister carry the black pot, is the emperor's mental skill. onclick="hui"
