The so-called Hengshan plot was actually recorded in Guan Zhong.
At that time, there was a Hengshan Country between Qi and Lu. At this time, Qi was strong and wanted to attack Hengshan Country.
Duke Heng of Qi went to Guan Zhong to ask for advice.
Seeing that Hengshan was rich in weapons, Guan Zhong suggested that Duke Huan of Qi buy a large number of weapons from Hengshan.
At this time, the countries bordering Qi State saw this and thought that Qi State was going to increase its military strength to attack them. Naturally, they also began to buy weapons from Hengshan State.
In the end, Guan Zhong made a show of buying weapons from the Hengshan Kingdom at a high price.
King Heng Shan was naturally overjoyed to see such a sucker. He immediately ordered the price of weapons to be raised and the entire country to vigorously produce weapons.
As a result, agriculture in the country gradually became abandoned.
After that, Guan Zhong started to buy food at a high price.
The grain that was originally 15 coins per stone was directly fried to 50 coins per stone.
This led to many countries coming to Qi to sell food.
When the surrounding countries ran out of food, the Qi Kingdom suddenly closed all the checkpoints and stopped buying food and weapons.
At this moment, Hengshan's agriculture had been abandoned, their weapons had been sold out, and they could not buy food, so they could only surrender to Qi.
This could be said to be the first time in history that a war was won directly through the economy!
Liu Bei listened to Yun Yi's narration with interest."
"For Duke Qi Heng to be able to obtain Guan Zhong's assistance, it's no wonder that he can become a tyrant!”
After saying that, he asked curiously,
"What does the scheme of Mount Heng have to do with the Chamber of Commerce?”
Yun Yi hurriedly said,
"Xuande, don't you see?"
"There was a precedent in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. If you use business well, the country will be rich and the people will be strong.”
"Because Guan Zhong values business, he helped Duke Qi Heng achieve his hegemony.”
"After that, although Qin gained the world because of its emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, it died after two generations.”
"From this point of view, merchants and farmers are the foundation of a strong country. A country without agriculture is not strong, and a country without merchants is not rich.”
"We are the first to establish a Chamber of Commerce. Not only can we encourage merchants to join our army, but we can also enrich the country and strengthen the army. In the long run, who in the world will be a match for us?”
"Moreover, our army can create official merchants. In the future, whatever expenses we need, we can rely on official merchants to buy.”
"Acting as a merchant is actually better than us doing it ourselves!”
Although Yun Yi wasn't an economics major, he was knowledgeable. For a moment, Old Liu was stunned.
Liu Bei had another advantage, which was that he was not born high and did not have the prejudice of aristocratic families.
Seeing that Yun Yi was making sense, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He grabbed Yun Yi and said,
"I thought that Zhuo Qun was only good at military strategy, but I didn't expect him to have such insights on the way of governing the country!”
"With your talent, you can really be called a national scholar!”
"Zhuo Qun, don't worry, do whatever you want to do!”
"I don't have any strong points, only this sincere heart can be handed over to you!”
Yun Yi quickly nodded as Liu Bei held his hand.
He looked at the fervent gaze in Old Liu's eyes, as if he wanted to eat him up, and he was a little afraid.
In this long night, two men, and the other man had such an expression. It was really dangerous!
He looked at the sky and said,"
"My lord, it's late today. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?”
Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled."
"It's already late today, and it's not convenient for Zhuo Qun to go home. However, after hearing about Zhuo Qun's way of governing the country today, I only feel that it's a pleasure, but I still haven't had enough!”
"Why don't Zhuo Qun stay in Bei's residence and sleep with Bei, and have a long talk all night?”
Yun Yi was stunned when he saw this. It was said that Old Liu loved to sleep with his feet on anyone. It seemed that it was true!
Two grown men sleeping together, chatting and looking at the moon?
He wasn't in the mood!
He immediately pulled his hand out and said,
"My lord, I still need to go to the Lu family tomorrow. I'm tired from working these few days. I hope my lord can forgive me.”
"As for sleeping, we'll talk about it next time!”
Without waiting for Liu Bei's reaction, he hurried out.
As soon as they left the mansion, they said to Pan Zhang, who was waiting,"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go home!"
After saying that, he rode his horse and left, not staying any longer.
Behind Yun Yi, Liu Bei sat in a daze as he watched Yun Yi leave in a panic. After a long while, he sighed.
There was nothing wrong with Yun Yi's talent!
Today's discussion of governing the country fully demonstrated that Yun Yi not only could command the army, but he also had the talent to govern the country!
With such a talent, let alone being a military advisor, even if he were to govern a continent and oversee a region, he would also be at ease!
In terms of talent, she was definitely one of his top talents.
In terms of personal character, he did not have any bad habits.
But why was such a person so unwilling to get close to him?
One had to know that sleeping with the monarch was something that a minister could not wish for.
Moreover, this was not the first time. Every time he wanted to treat Yun Yi politely, he was rejected in various ways.
Yun Yi's performance had dealt a heavy blow to Liu Bei!
Could it be that Yun Yi still hadn't returned?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei frowned.
He was very clear that he was where he was today mostly because of Yun Yi.
If Yun Yi left, his great cause would probably stop here.
Liu Bei stood up and said,"
"Men, prepare the carriage."
Then, he walked towards Jian Yong's house.
When they arrived at Jian Yong's house, Jian Yong was already asleep. Liu Bei hurriedly knocked on the door.
Jian Yong had a tired look on his face as he smiled at Liu Bei, who had arrived late at night,"
"Why did Xuande come looking for me so late at night?"
Liu Bei quickly voiced out his thoughts.
Jian Yong was startled when he heard that, then he laughed out loud and said,"
"Xuande, you're being too concerned!”
"In my opinion, it's not that Zhuo Qun doesn't want to get close to you, but that's his nature!”
"Could it be that Xuande has forgotten who Zhuo Qun's master is?”
Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said,"
"I remember that Zhuo Qun's teacher was a Taoist master!”
"That's right!"
Jian Yong smiled and said,"
"Daoists are people with pure hearts and few desires. They treat people and things calmly.”
"Zhuo Qun must have been influenced by his master.”
"However, Xuande's worries are not without reason!”
"In my opinion, Zhuo Qun doesn't have many hobbies, only good cooking and women!”
"My lord, have you forgotten that other than growing vegetables, Zhuo Qun teaches that little servant girl how to cook?”
Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard that."
"Xianhe is right!"
"We have to find a wife for Zhuo Qun!”
"Men, how can they be stable without a family?”
"That's right!"
Jian Yong smiled and said,"
"Xuande not only wants to find a wife for Zhuo Qun, but if he meets a beauty, he can also give her to Zhuo Qun!”
Then, he laughed evilly and said,"
"It depends on whether Xuande is willing or not!”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said,"
"What's there to be reluctant about? I, Liu Bei, am not a greedy and lecherous person. As long as I can get the heart of the Andrew Group, I'll be willing to give up on any number of beauties!”
"However, there is no such person in our army now. Is there a good match in Wu County?”
Jian Yong smiled slightly and said,"
"My lord, our army really does have one!"
"Oh?"
Liu Bei hurriedly said,"
"Which family has a daughter worthy of Zhuo Qun?"
Jian Yong hurriedly said,"
"When I was talking to General Qiao Rui, he said that he only had one son who was quite naughty. He did have a brother who had two daughters.”
"I can see that General Qiao's family is also a prominent family, and her demeanor is extraordinary. If she's General Qiao's niece, she might be a good match for Zhuo Qun!”
Liu Bei nodded."
"I wonder if this Qiao Rui is willing?”
Jian Yong smiled proudly and said,"
"Ever since Qiao Rui joined my army, she has been especially fond of Zhuo Qun. She once told me in private that if I could get Zhuo Qun as my son-in-law, it would be a great thing in my life!”
"If he knew that we had such intentions, he would definitely agree!”
"Good!"
Liu Bei hurriedly said,"
"In that case, will you let me take a trip?”
Jian Yong smiled and said,"
"Don't worry, Xuande. I'm good at this!”
