"Under the reform of Guan Zhong, the political, economic and cultural development of the Qi State, after thousands of years, it has accumulated a strong material foundation and military strength, which is far from being comparable to other vassal states, and the Duke of Qi Huan began his own hegemony career."

"Guan Zhong's reform promoted the economic prosperity and political stability of the Qi State, making the Qi State one of the most powerful countries at that time, which also laid the foundation for the unity and prosperity of the Flower Planting Country."

Compared with the hegemony under the "power", the hegemony of the Duke of Qi Huan is more inclined to diplomacy, that is, the use of diplomatic means and military pressure to make the major princes recognize their identity as "princes", and can crusade against disrespectful people on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Under strong military pressure, the major vassal states had to obey the orders of Duke Qi Huan, began to stop wars and soldiers, and unanimously resisted Rong Di externally, which is what Guan Zhong said, "Rong Di jackal, not tired; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. ”

From a certain point of view, the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period Chinese civilization was able to be preserved intact and not persecuted by Rong Di and the Southern Barbarians, which was inseparable from Guan Zhong's change, so he was also called "the protector of Chinese civilization". ”

In general, Guan Zhong created many "firsts" in the history of our country, and the changes of the later dynasties were basically based on him. ”

"We all know that every change will touch the interests of the old aristocracy, and the end of every person who changes the law will not be very good, however, Guan Zhong is an exception, because many of his changes have a certain degree of "flexibility". ”

"For example, Shang Ying's method of land reform was to forcibly recover land from the landlords, while Guan Zhong's method was to negotiate with the nobles, and the two sides reached a balance of interests, so that the reform of the Qi State was neither bloody nor politically turbulent."

"Such gentle means enabled Guan Zhong to die a good death, and he died of illness in 645 BC, ending his legendary life, but his glory and glory have been recorded in history and have been praised to this day."

Although the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties bear the traces of China's historical development, the real transformation of civilization was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Guan Zhong's changes provided a stable and positive soil for it, Confucius, Mencius and Laozi are all called sages, and Guan Zhong is called "the teacher of sages" by later generations. ”

"In just four words, he summed up his historical status and contributions, but on the contrary, it was another form on the battlefield, why did everyone call him a wreck?"

"This has to talk about Guan Zhong's black history, before Guan Zhong became the prime minister, he was a guy with a bunch of shortcomings, greedy for money, timid, afraid of death, cautious, etc., are the characteristics of some villains in the market, Guan Zhong is unlucky, but at the same time he is also lucky."

"Said that he was unfortunate because he lost his father when he was a child, since the day he remembered, he and his mother depended on each other, and they all said that the children of poor families were in charge of the house early, this sentence was not used in Guan Zhong at all, and the young Guan Zhong began to help his mother do some housework within his ability."

"He is said to be lucky because he has a confidant, who later gave him great favors many times - when there is no money in the family, he will give gifts in private, and when he makes mistakes, he will put himself in his shoes, and even once, when he was about to become a ghost under the knife, he tried his best to persuade the king, and only then did he pick up a small life under the knife."

"Maybe many people have already guessed - that's right, his confidant is the famous Uncle Bao in history!"

"Coincidentally, Guan Zhong and Uncle Bao are fellow countrymen, and they are both people from Qi State."

"Although they are fellow countrymen, the two met and knew each other when they were about to become adults."

"Because Bao Shuya's father, Uncle Bao Jing, held an important position in the Qi court, but his fief was in Baoyi, so Bao Shuya spent time in Baoyi when he was a child."

"When Uncle Bao is fifteen or sixteen years old and can basically live independently, his father will allow him to go back to his old parents!"

"It was when Uncle Bao returned to his hometown that the God of Fate specially arranged the meeting of these two strange people."

"With the same age and the same personality, for two young people, this is enough to become good friends, and any other family and status is nothing to them."

After dating for a period of time, both of them were deeply attracted and admired by each other's character. Soon, the two worshipped each other - in this life and this life, they will share blessings and difficulties, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and they will never be separated! ”

"After worshipping, life still has to go on."

"The road in front of Guan Zhong is quite difficult, his mother is old and frail, although she has grown up, but she still doesn't even have a proper job."

"In order to make a living, he had to start a small business, but his family was so poor that he had no capital to do business, but fortunately he had a good friend Bao Shuya, who funded to help Guan Zhong in business."

"But in the Spring and Autumn Period, the status of businessmen was very low, so they were often bullied, and even worked as a pickpocket in difficult times, which shows how down-and-out they were."

"In addition to being a pickpocket, he is also very greedy for money, Uncle Bao is a long contributor to the business, and he is also a funder, and he should have received the greatest return, but Guan Zhong is red when he sees money, and he is often greedy for the big head."

"Uncle Bao doesn't care about him, after all, he needs funds, and if he wants to develop in politics, he needs money."

"Okay, the capital is there, then start preparing to buy it, because the two are honest and trustworthy, genuine, and undeceived, plus the two face the customer in a group of harmony, so, under the careful management of the two, the business is still quite good!"

"The two agreed that after each time the goods are sold, the two will divide the money according to the size of the investment, and whoever invests the capital will take more."

As the saying goes, "brothers have to settle accounts", but for Guan Bao and the others, their friendship at this time has far exceeded that of ordinary brothers, and they have a real sense of brotherhood. ”

"Maybe life has changed Guan Zhong, he has gradually changed."

"Because of the friendship between the two, every time the money is divided, Uncle Bao always asks Guan Zhong to share it."

"But when I was in charge of the middle, I began to lose my principles, and I secretly gave myself more points every time."

"It's okay to do it once or twice, after a long time, the entourage around Bao Shuya gradually couldn't see it, and quietly said to Bao Shuya: "Guan Zhong, this kid is too greedy, how much should he take?" Uncle Bao, you are really, every time you suffer a loss, you say that you don't talk about him, just continue to partner with him in business, can you make money in the long run? ””
