In the past few years when Guan Zhong became the father of the middle, he has drastically reformed, reformed, and pragmatically met the needs of the country and the people, and at the same time adhered to the national policy of respecting the king and conquering the country.

Chinese people from neighboring countries have come to beg for a living, and the people of Qi are even more confident and striding forward.

Yun Yao was breathtaking, because Guan Zhong was not a traverser, he just adapted measures to local conditions and stimulated the potential of Qi State according to the existing conditions, which can be said to be in line with the time and place, and also in line with social changes.

Guan Zhong saw that the well field system greatly reduced the cultivation enthusiasm of the countrymen and savages, that the overlap of tariffs and municipal taxes reduced the trade enthusiasm of merchants, and that the strict Zhou etiquette suppressed the consumption enthusiasm of the nobles. So he opened the shackles and unleashed everyone's enthusiasm.

Starting with import and export merchants, they brought a large number of goods to the Qi country, and at the same time, they also made the special products of the Qi country have a market. Then there is the enthusiasm for consumption, which promotes luxury and allows the aristocracy to take the lead in consumption. In the end, the well-field system was reformed, and the land was taxed, so that the peasants' enthusiasm for farming returned, and all the fields in the future were privately owned, and the state only collected taxes according to the fat and poverty of each piece of land, and the excess was all the peasants themselves.

Moreover, in order to stabilize grain prices, Guan Zhong also came up with the idea of buying and storing at a low price and selling at a high price to stabilize the market. In the event of a disaster, the monarch would build a palace or build roads and water conservancy, anyway, to gather refugees to work.

Therefore, the king's palace is not only a personal enjoyment, but can also be the cornerstone of the country's stability.

If it really continues to develop according to Guan Zhong's method, Qi State may be able to unify the world in advance. It's a pity that although these policies are good, there is no supervision, and when Guan Zhong and Xiaobai grow old, the Qi State will completely fall from the throne of the overlord.

In fact, the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period are all the same, and the time of hegemony is like the sky, but as soon as the monarch dies, it is either internal fighting in the country because of the issue of inheritance, or the national strength is weakened due to the fact that the secretary is the next doctor. The Qin State fought so hard for the sixth generation, and there were very few monarchs of the six generations who insisted on one road.

The country is thriving, and Guan Zhong also has a sense of accomplishment, but today Uncle Bao brought bad news: "Something happened." ”

Seeing that Uncle Bao's teeth were so heavy, Guan Zhong couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with Jiuyi? "Jiuyi is also Dongyi, there were twelve tribes in Dongyi before, and now there are nine left, and almost all nine tribes have been conquered by the Qi State.

Uncle Bao told Guan Zhong that something strange had happened: "It's indeed Jiuyi, the envoy we sent is crazy." I said that I had seen a youkai and was talking nonsense, and the king asked me what to do, so I came to you to discuss. "Jiuyi has a lot of legends since ancient times, and worships witchcraft, do you think someone used witchcraft?" And it's not the first time. ”

Guan Zhong also remembered what happened last time: "Last time, the monarch's concubine suddenly went crazy and attacked the monarch, and later it was found out that Jiuyi poisoned the concubine and caused the concubine to go crazy, and the reason was that Qi ordered Jiuyi to surrender. Do you think this time is also poisoned? ”

Uncle Bao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this time it's even more evil than poisoning, after the envoy came back, he kept carving words at home, even on his arms and belly, all of which were 'ten deaths'." ”

"Ten deaths?" Guan Zhong didn't understand at all.

Uncle Bao didn't understand either, but he said: "The monarch means to send troops, but my idea is to send another group of envoys to investigate, but there are a few more monks among the envoys." "Actually, I have long had the idea of building a military force dedicated to investigating strange forces, but there is no suitable opportunity, so I want to use this opportunity to build up the army."

"Do you really believe that there will be monsters to make trouble in the world, I told you that it was just a dream." Guan Zhong and Uncle Bao have always been friends, so they know each other very well. When Guan Zhong was young, he didn't take advantage of Uncle Bao, but Uncle Bao would not complain again, there was only one thing that Uncle Bao was very stubborn, that is, he had a nightmare when he was young, and the nightmare in which the man-eating demon clan caused chaos in the world, which has always made him angry.

It's just that Uncle Bao didn't have any identity at that time, so he let it go. Now that he has become a minister of the humerus, he has seen more and more strange things, and the influence of nightmares has grown, so he has the idea of creating a special army against unknown enemies.

This time, the envoy group to Dongyi was almost wiped out, and the survivors also fell into madness, so he thought that this was the right time to propose to the monarch that as long as his friends supported him, the monarch would definitely ask for money and people.

Guan Zhong also wanted to persuade Uncle Bao, but saw that Uncle Bao was extremely serious, as if he would not give up without success.

"And what are you going to do?" Guan Zhong asked.

"Fang Shi is a must, I also want to select a few swordsmen from the doormen, and then find a swordsmith to specially build iron swords, so that this small but elite enough army to investigate this matter. It's just that the cost is definitely quite a lot, so you will definitely need to convince the monarch to provide the cost. ”

Let the monarch spend money for a nightmare, Guan Zhong thought to himself that if he persuaded him like this, the monarch would definitely not be willing.

"Only by finding evidence can you convince the monarch, you can't say that because you had a nightmare when you were young, you have to spend a lot of money to raise an army." Guan Zhong said: "That's it, I'll give this money first, let's set up the army first, go to Jiuyi to investigate, if there are really monsters, it's not too late to report to the monarch." If it's just Jiuyi's poison, then it proves that your dream is really just a dream. ”

Uncle Bao listened to Guan Zhong's such a safe arrangement, and couldn't help nodding: "It's okay." However, in order to select the best swordsman, I would like to arrange a sword fight. ”

"That's fine, I think the monarch will support it." Guan Zhong said that the sword fighting conference was a pretty good proposal.

In the past, collective activities were for unity, but now collective activities have become a symbol of strength. has the ability to engage in an international collective activity, that is, a symbol of a great power with money and power, in the past, only Zhou Tianzi could engage in international activities, but now Qi can also do it.

Guan Zhong said that if he wants to do it, he must make it bigger, not only to let the swordsmen of Qi fight swords, but also to let the swordsmen of surrounding countries come together, so as to show the national will of Qi State.

"It's better to invite famous swordsmen from all over the world and invite them all to come to Qi to participate in the sword fighting conference."

After listening to this, Uncle Bao called Guan Zhong or Guan Zhong, and sure enough, he still has to take care of Guan Zhong when he does things.

So the two of them told the monarch about the idea, and Xiaobai said that it was not very interesting. "Sword fighting tournament? Okay, interesting, just do it according to your ideas, we want to invite the world's famous swordsmen to come to Qi to compete, and the victor will give him the title of 'Sword Saint', and then reward the good land and treasures. ”

Uncle Bao was thinking about Qi at first, and Guan Zhong only said that the surrounding countries were directly under the world when it came to Xiaobai's mouth, and the scope was expanded again and again.

Qi immediately sent people to visit famous swordsmen from all over the world, and for a while, the clouds moved in all directions, and the world was shocked.

Yun Yao was also shocked, and called out that the people of Qi were really good at doing things, but she also suspected that the matter on Jiuyi's side had something to do with demons and monsters. onclick="hui"
