Guan Zhong is unique in the field of economic warfare and is at the forefront of the times.

Regarding Guan Zhong's new plan of 'hoarding salt and selling it at a price', Yun Yao just wanted to say that he would start rubbing hemp rope now, which could be used for hanging when Guan Zhong needed it, and it was best to prepare another street lamp pole.

At this time, Guan Zhong was looking to see if the smart cook could understand the mystery of the new plan, blocking the export of salt, the magic is that salt is also just needed, although salt is still a luxury for the bottom farmers, and they can't eat more, but salt is really necessary, and if you don't supplement salt, you have no strength to work.

The Spring and Autumn Chinese people do not understand that salt can produce electrolytes necessary for the human body, which can balance the human body, and physical sweating will take away a lot of salt, so it needs to be supplemented. But they have realized that no one can go without salt, and if they don't eat salt, their bodies will collapse.

So salt is very important, because it is important, so once there is a problem with the supply, then the price will skyrocket. Just like food, it is directly related to people's livelihood.

"The human race is indispensable for salt, and this strategy is naturally feasible, but although it has made money for the Qi country, this kind of behavior really affects the credibility of the Qi country." Yun Yao said that the plan is of course very useful, and it is guaranteed to be implemented, but it is inevitable that he will be scolded.

"Haha, that's smart. I also knew that this plan was contrary to the national policy of Qi State's 'Respect for the King', so I didn't tell anyone else. "But I have another plan, now all countries are worried that Qi will start a war against them, so the armaments of Qi directly affect the armaments of the surrounding countries, as long as our Qi country purchases weapons on a large scale, it will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the price of ores and weapons in the surrounding countries, and then we can make a lot of money by selling the weapons, what do you say about this plan?" This plan will no longer affect the reputation of Qi State. ”

Yun Yao said that isn't this just a routine of drumming and passing flowers? Artificially create false demand, and when everyone flocks to the market, sell all the hoarded goods, and wait for the people behind to take over. Three thousand years later, the Terrans are still playing tricks, such as hyping virtual currency or hyping blind boxes.

Yun Yao said that Guan Zhong would not be a traverser, right? In fact, she didn't know that this was also one of Guan Zhong's famous economic wars, Hengshan's strategy.

Seeing Yun Yao's shocked expression, Guan Zhong was very satisfied, it seemed that his new plan was indeed very good, better than Chu Guo buying deer, Lu Guo buying silk, and hoarding salt. He was also most satisfied with the final plan, because the first three plans all involved food and salt, both of which were necessary for everyone, and there was no impossible, so the plan was based on the physical structure of the human race.

However, the weapons in the last plan are not necessary for the Terrans, and without the weapons, the Terrans will not die immediately. However, Guan Zhong created panic through Qi State, causing everyone to buy weapons for self-protection, and took advantage of the psychological panic of the human race to turn weapons into necessities. Profiteering by creating false demand is already the pinnacle of economic warfare in the agricultural era.

Yun Yao couldn't help but think that the economic war in the Central Plains was really the pinnacle of debut, and in later generations, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business, the economic war became more and more difficult, and there was no such figure as Guan Zhong in the entire agricultural era.

The economy is really alive in the hands of Guan Zhong.

Not only to grasp the body of the human race, but also to grasp the psychology of the human race, it is really the realm of selling combs to monks.

Hyping demand, beating drums and passing flowers, can make other countries take over the country's plate, and Yun Yao can only bow and worship. At this time, she only had one sentence in her heart, it was this era that limited Guan Zhong.

"The prime minister is a great talent." Yun Yao praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, it looks like you've got it again. It's a pleasure to talk to you. Guan Zhong felt that Yun Yao's intelligence was already at the same level as himself, but Yun Yao was a genius in cooking, and he was a genius in governing the country.

But now that he was about to take back the conversation, Guan Zhong pondered for a while: "You want me to persuade the monarch not to attack the Lu country, but it is not so easy. Because the monarch of the state of Lu has doubts about the national policy of the king of Qi Guozun, we naturally cannot let the state of Lu doubt the national policy. ”

Respecting the king is the banner of Qi State's future hegemony, and whoever doubts it will accept Qi's sanctions.

"Lu is only a small country, Qi is a big country, and Lu Guo's questioning will not affect Qi's national policy. On the contrary, the more Lu Guo questioned, the more Qi Guo should be more determined to respect the king, as long as it is effectively implemented, rather than paying lip service to it. In the future, those small countries that have been invaded by the barbarians will realize the correctness of Qi State, and they will naturally help Qi State speak, and Lu State will not open their eyes and say nonsense. "Now although the Qi State has proposed to respect the king, but there is no action, isn't it normal to be questioned? When the prime minister first managed the Qi country, didn't anyone question it? However, the prime minister of the country was talented and outstanding, and finally won the respect of the whole country of Qi with his strength. It can be seen that questioning is not a sin, thinking that King Zhou Li was violent, could not listen to a little opposition, and ordered whoever dared to question would be arrested, and the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the road of the people was the goal, which eventually led to the riots of the people, so I think reasonable doubts should be allowed. ”

"Where did you come to this truth?" Listening to Yun Yao's quotation of scriptures, even the story of King Zhou Li was brought out, and Guan Zhong was convinced. Because what Yun Yao said is too reasonable, it really can't be attacked by Lu because Lu Guo raised some questions, Yun Yao is right, if Qi Guo can't do well, then it's useless to hit Lu Guo. But if Qi does a good job, Lu can only recognize Qi's national policy in the end.

Whether the national policy can be implemented or not lies in the Qi country, not the Lu country.

It's just that these words are a bit exaggerated from the mouth of the chef, where did the chef learn so much knowledge?

Yun Yao thought to herself if she should give Guan Zhong a punch at this time and physically erase his memory? But forget it, if Guan Zhong has amnesia, then what he said for Lu Guo just now will be in vain. So Yun Yao said: "This is a family tradition. ”

"Family heirloom?"

"Yes, my ancestor is the baron Zhu family on the north bank of the Zhu River, but it is declining day by day, and although my generation has not broken its learning, I have no livelihood as a woman, so I can only be a cook to make ends meet." Yun Yao's lies came as soon as she opened her mouth.

Guan Zhong didn't doubt it, he only felt that Yun Yao was really a strange woman, he comforted Yun Yao and said: "I will make a statement to the monarch, the monarch is a wise monarch who follows the advice, and he should stop targeting the Lu country." ”

"Thank you for the success."

Waiting for Yun Yao to leave, Guan Zhong was conflicted, on the one hand, he felt that Yun Yao was a waste of talent to be a chef, and on the other hand, he was greedy for Yun Yao's cooking skills, and he didn't know whether to continue to let Yun Yao stay in the kitchen for a while.

It's not easy to deal with an extra strange woman around. Because Guan Zhong thinks that women are inferior to men, there is no psychological pressure to open an official women's school. So in his opinion, women can't be a big deal, but meeting Yun Yao broke his cognition, if it is a man, just give a position directly, but Yun Yao is a woman.

Guan Zhongxin wants to let Yun Yao manage the ladies in the mansion first? Let's see what other skills Yun Yao has in addition to cooking, if Yun Yao is really a genius among women, then it is okay to sponsor her to be an official. Guan Zhong is still sensible, although he likes Yun Yao's cooking skills, he loves Yun Yao's talent even more, as long as Yun Yao behaves well, he can give Yun Yao a suitable official position. onclick="hui"
