In order not to make Duke Zhuang of Lu suspicious, Xiaobai escorted Guan Zhong back to his country by escorting death row prisoners.

However, as soon as he entered Qi, the attitude of the soldiers escorted immediately changed and he immediately respected Guan Zhong. Xiaobai also bathed in the palace to show his importance.

Obviously, Guan Zhong returned to his country to be appointed as a marquis and minister and to entrust with important tasks.

Bao Shuya was already looking forward to it. Although he had always been a trap for Bao Shuya when he was young, Bao Shuya never minded, but was amazed at Guan Zhong's talent. So when he helped Xiaobai become the king of Qi, he fully recommended it, which was really a slander.

Fortunately, Xiaobai was also a generous person and could listen to the advice. If it were someone else, not to mention Guan Zhong assassinating him, just by persuading Lu to send troops to attack Qi, he could already be smashed into pieces. But Xiaobai still accepted Bao Shuya's persuasion, accepted Guan Zhong, and prepared to enfeoff Guan Zhong as the prime minister.

"I heard that Guan Zhong was able to conquer the prison guards around him even in the Lu State prison, and brought back a cook from Lu State. Is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, this is Guan Zhong's talent. When we were young, we did business together. Every time we lost money, I was always very disappointed, but Guan Zhong could quickly find the reason for the failure and start over. So as long as Guan Zhong is still alive, he will not give up and solve the problem." Bao Shuya said happily. Guan Zhong was also a good talk in the crisis. It was a perfect demonstration of Guan Zhong's talent and charm. Even the chef could see Guan Zhong's potential. He continued: "Even the chef could see that Guan Zhong is not a thing in the pool. If the monk can reuse Guan Zhong, Qi State would definitely stand out among the countries." Seize any opportunity to recommend Guan Zhong's talent.

Xiaobai was also obedient and served as the highest standard reception. He chose a good day to meet Guan Zhong and appointed him as prime minister.

Yun Yao also successfully became the chef in Guan Zhong’s mansion and managed the entire kitchen. Next, we can observe Guan Zhong’s economic reform methods up close.

However, Xiaobai did not immediately accept Guan Zhong's policy. After all, he must have ambitions and did not suffer a few losses. How could he listen to Guan Zhong's suggestions for reform?

Xiaobai had just succeeded to the throne and was ready to find his neighbors to take action. The king did not feel guilty about this act of robbing the whole country. It can be seen that the relationship between people and countries has become so chaotic.

Guan Zhong shook his head and complained to Bao Shuya at home: "Foreign wars are because Qi has no money, but the situation in the countries is the same. Qi has no money, so how can other small countries have money? The problem of Qi is not solved by capturing a few small countries. The problem lies on the land."

Bao Shuya couldn't stop eating. This was his first time visiting Guan Zhong's house. Unexpectedly, the food at Guan Zhong's house was so delicious. He was not a poor person, but he only felt that he had eaten pig food before, but now he had real food.

While eating, nodding and perfunctory.

"The well-field system is too backward. Now farmers are lazy in farming on public fields and work hard on their own private fields, which leads to less and less taxes on public fields. Over the long run, the country will become poorer and poorer." Guan Zhong said.

"That's right, it's true." Bao Shuya licked his mouth, but he wasn't satisfied with it: "Is this the chef of Lu's country? It's better than the in-house meal."

Guan Zhong looked at his friend with disgust. He was talking about national affairs, but he knew how to eat. He said helplessly: "Although the king invited me back, he has not accepted my advice yet."

"We must be patient. The king is a person who knows people and uses them well. He will definitely understand your talents. Now let's be calm and give me another elbow."

Guan Zhong had no choice but to ask his retainers to get another elbow.

Bao Shuya said: "Actually, we can't blame the king for being anxious. Qi State is really not rich now. You said that changing the well field system is naturally good, but it is too time-consuming. Are there any other faster and more convenient ways?"

"Faster and more convenient?" Guan Zhongxin wanted to lay the foundation quickly? But he also knew that without a faster method, Qi's economy would indeed become more and more difficult. In the end, it might not even have money to lay the foundation, so he could only say: "Then cut taxes."

"Isn't this nonsense? We don't have money at all, so why do we still reduce taxes?" Bao Shuya didn't understand Guan Zhong's idea. Shouldn't we increase taxes at this time?

"I'm talking about reducing business taxes. You and I have done business, what do you hate the most when doing business?"

"Of course it's commercial tax. You have to collect the customs pass, you have to collect the bridge, you have to collect the city, and you have to collect the stalls. Before a piece of goods was sold, you have to spend four cents of the tax." Bao Shuya realized something and said, "Are you talking about reducing the customs pass, the bridge tax, the city tax, and the stall tax?"

"Yes, my idea is that there are two types of merchants. One is to bring goods to Qi State, and the other is to take goods from Qi State to other places. No matter what kind of merchants they are, as long as their convoys come, they will definitely promote transactions. Therefore, reducing their taxes can attract them to Qi State. As long as they come to Qi State, their goods and money can become ours."

Bao Shuya nodded repeatedly. This is the reason, and he had to let the merchants come to Qi first.

"We can not only reduce duplicate taxes, but also provide merchants with food, board, and forage and manpower. Merchants who provide one truck of goods to Qi can provide food, board, three trucks of goods, and horse and forage, and five trucks of helping people." "And we can't take away money when we ask them to come. We use the food, beautiful scenery, and beauty to keep all the money they earned in Qi." Guan Zhong proposed to open a 'Nulu', that is, a state-owned brothel.

The merchants sold the goods to Qi State and had to spend them in Qi State, leaving all the money and goods behind.

Bao Shuya nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, Guan Zhong was a genius. Not only did he see the fundamental problems of Qi, but he could not compare to the plan to stimulate the economy so quickly. So in the past, he would rather suffer losses because he could make any losses back through Guan Zhong.

If you are petty and break up with Guan Zhong for a little money, then you will have no vision.

As long as merchants come to Qi State, Guan Zhong can use various means to make merchants spend obediently to strengthen Qi State's economy.

Yun Yao pricked up his ears and called him a god. From an economic perspective, Guan Zhong's stimulating consumption can be said to be directly aimed at the heart of the people. It can be said that no one can refuse the temptation of consumption.

It seems that I collect less taxes, but in fact I make money by another way.

Of course, Guan Zhong never thought of bringing bad trends. Although Qi was a big country in the future, he was always in a corner, because he was too addicted to enjoyment. Moreover, although this economic policy was exquisite, it was not cutting-edge technology after all. If other countries wanted to learn it, they could learn it, and they would definitely lack competitiveness in the later stage.

Therefore, Guan Zhong’s economic strategy is quite outstanding, but it has a bad atmosphere and is easy to replicate.

However, after education in the chaotic world, Yun Yao would never underestimate Guan Zhong, but just study quietly. After all, Guan Zhong is using his own knowledge to change the world. Yun Yao, a time traveler who receives systematic education, only needs to remain humble.

Since there was a detailed plan, Bao Shuya went to Xiaobai to discuss and prepare to implement this new economic policy.

Xiaobai was very happy and rewarded a group of dancers to Guan Zhong. When he had money, Xiaobai could prepare his arms and then rob the surrounding small countries.

Xiaobai is obsessed with launching a war. Guan Zhong has arranged a series of reform measures to let the merchants take the initiative to send money, but Xiaobai always wants to go out and rob. What kind of brainless thought is this?

I guess I want to establish the prestige of the monarch. After all, the main reason why Xiaobai became a monarch was that he ran fast, not military merits or talents.

Therefore, later generations advocated the rule of inaction, because if the monarch likes to do things too much, it is easy to expose the monarch's true IQ and level, which will arouse the contempt of the ministers and will be wiped out. Therefore, the monarch would be better not do anything and keep it mysterious, so that the ministers would not see through the depth of the monarch and would not dare to act rashly.
