Chapter 293: Honoring the King

Dan Ji was going to sneak into the palace to assassinate Xiaobai as a dancing girl, but she didn't expect to be rewarded by Xiaobai to Guan Zhong without even seeing her.

Dan Ji was helpless, but she could only take one step at a time. Sure enough, the best time to assassinate Xiaobai is the previous death calamity, once it passes, it will not be easy to assassinate again. Then it's better to hide in Guan Zhong's mansion first and wait for the opportunity to move.

In this era, Yun Yao thinks that Guan Zhong is the protagonist of the era, but Dan Ji and the Jingwei Alliance behind him obviously have a different opinion, and they arranged to assassinate Jiang Xiaobai, obviously thinking that killing the monarch of Qi is the most destructive way.

This is a typical feudal human thought, believing that the monarch who holds the authority is the protagonist of the times. Of course, it is not surprising that they have this idea, after all, even the sons of Zhuzi can't jump out of this strange circle.

From Guan Zhong to Han Feizi, the princes tried their best to think, and the depth of their thoughts could compete with the stars, but in the end, they still did not transcend the power of the monarch, even if Han Feizi, who was insightful, finally relied on the monarchy, and finally died tragically on the monarchy of Qin Shi Huang.

Although the Terrans in the Jingwei Alliance are all monks, they cannot escape the limitations of history, believing that the most powerful people in the world are the most important people of the Terrans.

Judging from the results of the divination, the state of Qi is about to stand out in the next few decades and become the most powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period, achieving the achievement of 'the princes of Jiuhe and the world'. Assassinating Xiaobai will definitely plunge the Terrans into turmoil.

It's a pity that the best assassination opportunity was ruined by Yun Yao, which is really hateful. Dan Ji was sent to Guan Zhong's mansion as a dancing girl, and she was resentful in her heart, but she still had to pretend that an ordinary woman was not moving, and her life was very sad.

For a hundred years, in order to seek revenge on Yun Yao, Dan Ji has worked hard to cultivate and improve her cultivation, and she has already reached the Bigu period, but in order to lurk, she still has to pretend to eat.

On this day, Danji danced, and Guan Zhong was very happy to see it, so he rewarded him with food.

Dan Ji only took one bite and froze, because this is the taste of Yun Yao. She won't admit her mistake, Yun Yao's cooking skills are unique in the world, and it has long been a well-known thing in the Three Realms, and many immortals have waited for several years to taste the food made by Yun Yao. It is also with his cooking skills that Yun Yao has become a guest of many immortals, chatting with the immortals and establishing contacts.

But Guan Zhong is just a mere mortal, how can Yun Yao's craftsmanship appear in his mansion? There is something weird, Danki pretends to be calm and decides to investigate secretly.

Dan Ji soon finds Yun Yao, who is disguised as a chef, but this makes her even more confused. Yun Yao is the Heavenly Court Hundred Flowers God who ranks in the Immortal Class, and is also a disciple of the Overlord of the Earth Immortal Jiujiang, although her identity is not unattainable, but it is by no means idle, why would she hide in Guan Zhong's mansion and be willing to cook for mortals to eat?

Could it be that Yun Yao is a cheap bone, and if she doesn't work for a day, she will feel uncomfortable? It's not right, if you want to work, Caiyi has a job, and there is no need to come here to pretend to be a cook.

There is a conspiracy, Dan Ji thought to herself that Yun Yao was in the dark at this time, it was a godsend, and she wanted to see what Yun Yao was doing. So he decided to secretly observe and see what kind of medicine was sold in Yunyao's gourd.

Yun Yao didn't do any tricks, she was cooking, she didn't look like a fairy at all, she could get along with her from the housekeeper to the handyman, and her parents chatted together. Everyone also likes to come to chat with Yun Yao, and always feels that Yun Yao is a confidant young lady.

Day after day, month after month, Yun Yao did not act at all. Dan Ji also continued to observe patiently.

Xiaobai accepted Bao Shuya and Guan Zhong's proposals, cut the merchant tax, and promoted a series of merchant preferential strategies to attract merchants to trade in the Qi country. And straighten out the Qinglou and open an official women's house.

Sure enough, the change was obvious in a few months, so Xiaobai couldn't wait to rob his neighbors.

Naturally, he returned from defeat, the battle of Qilu Long Spoon, and the battle of Cao Kui, and then fell into decline and exhaustion. Obviously, he had defeated Lu Guo before, but he didn't expect to give his subordinates a chance to be humiliated in the second year.

Xiaobai is still addicted to food.

However, Guan Zhongke did not say anything I told you a long time ago, but actively proposed more policies for economic reform. For example, to stabilize grain prices, we should not stipulate through tough measures, but through the relationship between supply and demand, establish a national granary, buy grain when grain prices are low, and sell grain when grain is expensive. At the same time, the stored food can also be used as military food and relief food, in case it is needed.

At the same time, in order to make trade easier, the country's roads and water conservancy should be repaired.

The policies are implemented in an orderly manner, and Xiaobai has learned to be obedient after losing the battle, no longer doing it himself, but fully cooperating with Guan Zhong, and calling Guan Zhong 'the middle father'.

The national strength of the Qi State increased rapidly, and after a series of reforms, Guan Zhong put forward a crucial suggestion, that is, to continue to respect the emperor of Zhou, and then unite the princes against the increasingly powerful barbarians around him.

The barbarians also mastered bronze, iron and other weapons, and their combat effectiveness and organization became stronger and stronger. If the princes of the Zhou Dynasty did not unite, they would not be able to stop it at all.

Therefore, Guan Zhong proposed at this time to 'respect the king and conquer the country', and the Qi State took the lead in uniting under the banner of Zhou Tianzi and continued to fight abroad to protect the security of all countries, so that Qi State could become the strongest country under Zhou Tianzi.

This is strategic vision, unlike Xiaobai who bullies his neighbors when he has a little capital. Guan Zhong found the main contradiction with great foresight, that is, the contradiction between the Chinese civilization and the barbarians, and did not forget the responsibility of a great country while strengthening himself.

Zhou Tianzi is not mixing well now, and he has reached the situation of robbing his neighbors to get by, but the key is that he can't grab it, but he was cut by his neighbors, which is really disgraceful.

Zhou Guo must no longer be able to bear the responsibility of leading everyone to fight against the barbarians, but Guan Zhong knows that this is the main contradiction, and the fighting between the princes is an internal matter of the Chinese nation, but the barbarians are outsiders and are the biggest enemies of China.

Therefore, when the national strength of Qi State improved slightly, Guan Zhong proposed to 'respect the king and destroy it', if there is a country that is bullied by barbarians, Qi State will help under the banner of Zhou Tianzi.

With the implementation of Guan Zhong's series of measures, Xiaobai was also shocked by Guan Zhong, which was a countless reward for Guan Zhong. And the people of Qi saw that Guan Zhong lived in the compound of the mansion, and the fresh clothes were prepared with angry horses, not only did they not hate the rich, but they were also worried that Guan Zhong was not rich enough. For the benefactor who led the country of Qi to get rid of poverty and become rich, the country of Qi admired it from top to bottom.

Only then did Dan Ji realize the reason why Yun Yao was hiding in Guan Zhong's mansion, which was to steal Guan Zhong's incense. Dan Ji secretly said that Yun Yao was really despicable, and used his identity as a god to do dirty things like flies and dogs. Regarding the Jingwei Alliance's prediction of valuing Xiaobai and ignoring Guan Zhong, Dan Ji didn't think that the Jingwei Alliance had no vision and no foresight, and only said that Yun Yao was despicable.

At the beginning, they relied on Yueyin's divination, and when they took the lead, they didn't feel despicable. It's really only the state officials who are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

"I know that she must have a plan, otherwise how could she be willing to be a humble cook?" Dan Ji always looks like she sees through Yun Yao, and always feels that Yun Yao is acting in front of outsiders.

Dan Ji thought that she couldn't let Yun Yao succeed, so she just killed Guan Zhong, anyway, after observing it, the strength of Qi State has a lot to do with Guan Zhong.

So on a dark and windy night, Dan Ji quietly entered Guan Zhong's room, ready to kill him and interrupt the development process of Qi Kingdom. onclick="hui"
