"Father Zhong, the merchants who came back from the states of Lu and Liang all said that mulberry trees are planted everywhere in the fields of the states of Lu and Liang now, and there are people selling Lu scorpion clothes everywhere on the road from Qufu to Linzi. Merchants, chariots and horses, in the past three years, almost every household in the entire Lu country has been weaving tassels, mulberries are being planted everywhere, and the mulberry trees have grown, everything is as expected by Zhongfu..." Qi Henggong said these , The expression on his face couldn't help but brows, and his judgment on Xia Ping'an was completely thrown to the ground.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's time to subdue Lu Guo and Liang Guo!" Xia Ping'an looked at the teacup in front of him calmly, with a calm tone, neither happy nor angry, because everything was planned, and history followed step by step.

In this world pearl, Xia Ping'an once again became Guan Zhong, the "First Prime Minister of China", directed the first food war in human history, and conquered Lu and Liang countries without a single soldier.

"Hey, back then, Father Zhong let the widows wear the sackcloth made by Lu to go to court. He also allowed the Manchu civil and military and the people of Qi to follow suit, and encouraged merchants to traffic Lu from Lu to Qi, but he banned us. The common people of Qi country grow mulberry and make mulberry. In recent years, the price of Lu glutinous rice has risen several times, and Qi has spent countless money for this Lu glutinous rice. I have heard some ministers complaining in private, but it is only Those people, how can they have the vision of Zhongfu and Qiu's strategy, the whole world is in Zhongfu's chest, today's situation, Zhongfu had expected a few years ago, since Zhongfu said that the time has come, then my country Qi should How to do it?" Qi Henggong asked modestly.

"Your Majesty will no longer wear silk robes when he goes to court tomorrow, and he will wear silk robes. At the same time, he also asks His Majesty to order to close the checkpoints with Lu and Liang countries, and not allow Lu Liang's silk robes to enter Qi. But if people from the two countries come to defect, they can let people come in. Before, all the money that Qi State spent to buy Lu Zhen, we will let Lu State and Liang State return the money to the king..."

"Okay, everything is just like what Zhongfu said, except that the price of food in these two countries can really rise to more than a thousand dollars per stone. You must know that the current price of grain in Linzi is only ten dollars per stone..." Qi Henggong still has some Doubt, because Xia Ping'an said before that the price of food in Lu and Liang countries could rise to more than a thousand dollars per stone. This is crazy, because this is equivalent to a hundred times increase in food prices. There are not many countries, but there is a lot of food. Guan Zhong does not allow the people of Qi to grow mulberries and silkworms. Everyone can only grow food. Many granaries have been built in various parts of Qi, and the official warehouses are already full of food. If it rises a hundred times, then Qi will make a lot of money.

"If you don't wear silk clothes, you won't die, and you can't eat mulberry leaves when you're hungry. Your Majesty can wait and see. This time, Your Majesty will make the two countries of Lu and Liang obey obediently!"

"Okay!" Qi Henggong nodded happily.

Xia Ping'an then left the palace and returned to his house in a carriage and horse.

Sitting in the car, Xia Pingan looked at the bustling city of Linzi, and his awe for Guan Zhong was still undiminished. It has been three years since he became Guan Zhong in the world of Jiezhu, and Guan Zhong single-handedly created the hegemony that dominated Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. , and Guan Zhong's main means of creating hegemony is the food war, which is the capital method. China is the first country in human history to play food wars and economic wars. Guan Zhong is the ancestor of food wars and economic wars.

This time, Guan Zhong used the silk made by the state of Lu and Liang to conquer the two countries. When the two countries from top to bottom were making money because of the "tape", they turned the "tape" into the country's pillar industry and abandoned the grain. At the time of production, this is the time when Qi State uses grain to harvest Lu State and Liang State. After Qi State's food price has risen a hundredfold, between starvation and surrender, the two countries have only one way.

After Lu and Liang, there was Hengshan.

Hengshan country was a big country of arms in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because Hengshan made metal, it was good at smelting weapons, selling weapons and weapons among the princes, and earning a lot of money. Guan Zhong's means of subduing Hengshan was also a food war, and it was the same as conquering Lu and Liang. The country is exactly the same. The Qi State first bought the imported weapons and swords of Hengshan at a high price. At the same time, it also led the surrounding vassal countries to buy the weapons and swords of Hengshan at a high price, which directly increased the price of the weapons and swords produced by Hengshan by 20 times. The price of Hengshan has completely turned the smelting of weapons into a pillar industry of the country and abandoned farming.

Then Qi State went to other countries to buy food, which abruptly tripled the price of food in various countries, and bought almost all the food that could be bought on the market. After everything was in place, Qi cut off contact with Hengshan, and stopped buying weapons and knives. The whole Hengshan guarded a pile of weapons, and guarded countless workshops and iron mines that expanded production, but they could not buy food. Hengshan wanted to. There were no tears, so the whole country was in chaos, and the Qi State took the Hengshan State again.

The same means of food war, when used in the state of Chu, is to buy the deer of the state of Chu, to fix the state of Cai is to buy the firewood of the state of Cai, and to fix the state of the state is to buy the white fox of the state, that is, the white hair under the fox's armpit .

One by one, these countries were conquered by Qi with food wars, and Qi's hegemony came out like this.

The state of Qi blew up the asset bubbles of these countries, and then punctured the bubbles and harvested them with grain. This method has been thoroughly played by Guan Zhong thousands of years ago.

The carriage swayed on the street, Xia Ping'an's thoughts were flying, thinking of what happened thousands of years later, if the land of Lu Guo and Liang Guoguo was turned into the real estate of later generations, then it is already foreseeable, what will happen next...

It is a tragedy that a nation and country that produced Guan Zhong thousands of years ago was cleaned up by Guan Zhong's methods thousands of years later.

There is nothing new under the sun, history will repeat, but it will not simply repeat, the law will not change, but the appearance can be different.

Perhaps, this is the real meaning of learning history.

As Xia Ping'an said, on the second day, Duke Qi Heng went to court, and all the ministers in the court found out that Duke Heng Qi, who had been wearing silk robes for three consecutive years, went to court today, but he did not wear silk robes anymore, but was wearing the state of Qi. 's silk clothing.

"The widow is tired of the silk clothes, and found that the silk clothes of our Qi country are of better quality and more comfortable..." Under the gaze of the ministers in the silk clothes, Qi Henggong said expressionlessly on the throne, "Let's pass the widow's order. From today onwards, all checkpoints in Qi will no longer be allowed to enter the country of Lu and Liang. People from these two countries can take refuge in our state of Qi, but Lu's clothes will not be allowed to enter..."

"Yes!"

The wind direction in Linzi City changed, but when they went to court again the next day, there was no minister in the entire hall who was still wearing tassel, and the order was passed to the border gate. Once Qi State retreated, those full of tassel were waiting to pass the customs. All the merchants who entered Qi were dumbfounded.

The silk fabrics of the Liang Kingdom of Lu country began to pile up in mountains, and the price of thousands of horses and three hundred gold became more and more cheap.

At the same time, there is no income from exporting silk fabrics, and a large amount of mulberry is grown in the country's arable land. The grain production is seriously reduced. It will take time to replant, but the people of the Liang country of Lu Guo have to eat. The price of food in China changes three times a day, and it goes up and down, even if there is no market for it. The little money that ordinary people make in the past three years of weaving tassel is all used to buy rice in the blink of an eye, which is not enough.

In just one month, there were incidents of people starving to death in Lu and Liang. I heard that as long as you escape to Qi, you will have food.

In the end, five or six out of ten people from the two countries came to Qi and became citizens of Qi. The weak Lu and Liang countries had to surrender to Qi.

When the envoys of the two countries arrived in Linzi, the world of this world bead was shattered.

In the secret room, Xia Ping'an opened his eyes.

This divine power world bead, which Guan Zhong did not have to conquer Qilu and Lu with a single soldier, was the last one that he fused from all the world beads he got from the Divine Tomb Sect. More than ten boundary beads.

This world bead has added a full 36 points to the upper limit of divine power for Xia Ping'an~www.mtlnovel.com~ At this moment, the upper limit of divine power in Xia Ping'an's secret mandala has reached 10511 points, which is 10920 points away from the Eight Suns Realm, which is another improvement. Taking a big step, the limit of divine power is only 409 points. Xia Ping'an's overall strength has also unknowingly advanced a step, reaching the high level of the Seven Suns Realm.

For Xia Ping'an, it was only a day after the fusion of these boundary beads that he had just obtained.

In fact, in the past two days, the news that Xia Ping'an received a reward from the Divine Tomb Sect had already spread throughout Xuanji City, causing a huge sensation.

After Xia Ping'an rested for two days at Xuanji Villa, on the third day, the deputy sect master of the God Tomb Sect brought the two disciples to Xuanji Villa, and asked Xia Ping'an to go to Wanbao Hall to honor Bayang of the God Tomb Sect. Realm God Spring.

Several people soon came to the Wanbao Hall in Xuanji City.

And just when the Deputy Sect Master Lou was about to bring Xia Ping'an into the Wanbao Hall, a hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly remembered in the sky, "This is... Mr. Mei who avenged my son..."

Hearing this voice, the expressions of the deputy sect master Lou and the other two people from the Divine Tomb Sect changed their expressions, they stopped immediately, and bowed to the air, "Meet the sect master!"
