All the countries below have this picture.
Guan Zhong's scheming and breaking several countries in a row means that there is a trade war between countries. Compared with the ancients in China, Trump's level is simply not a dimension, among which Guan Zhong is an outstanding representative of the ancient trade war in China.
"pipe? The book "Light and Heavy" records several classic cases of defeating the enemy without fighting.
1, one day said to Guan Zhong: The alignment of land and beam is a threat, and I want to occupy them. What should I do?
Guan zhong said:? Ethnic groups in Lvliang and Guo Liang are good at silk making. Your Majesty, you take the lead in wearing silk, which makes people in China wear more silk, but spinning is not allowed in China and can only be imported from Lu and Liang, so the agriculture of Lu and Liang will be abolished. ?
Qi Huangong adopted Guan Zhong's suggestion, and at the same time, Guan Zhong gave a large sum of money to the merchants of Lu and Liang to sell silk to Qi.
For a time, the two countries made a lot of money, and the national treasury could be filled without paying taxes. The monarchs of the two countries were overjoyed and ordered the domestic people to give up grain production and vigorously raise silkworms and grow mulberry. If you have money, are you afraid of not having food? Buy all the dishes! Buy! Buy! For a time, there were many pickpockets in Lu and Liang.
13 months later, Guan Zhong sent people to two countries to inquire about the situation.
Lvliang people and Guo Zhongren were flying in the dust on the road. They didn't meet in ten steps, but they followed each other. The hub of the car was smashed and they rode five times in a row. pipe/tube
The streets of the two countries are busy and people are jostling with each other. They all sell silk.
Guan Zhong said to Qi Huangong. Lvliang can take it off. ?
Qi Huangong suddenly ordered Qi not to wear silk, and closed the border, cutting off the trade channel between Qi and Lvliang.
There is an old saying in China, people are wrong for a while and a year later. Food production takes time and cannot be harvested overnight. Lvliang and Guo Liang are no longer local tyrants. Did they finally taste it? Have money and no land to spend? Taste.
Ten months later, Guan Zhong sent someone to investigate, and Lvliang was already hungry and cold, and food prices soared. At that time, the price of grain in Lvliang was more than ten times that of Qi, and the worst thing was that Qi didn't sell them grain.
Qi's policy is also very clear: eat if you want, come to Qi, and eat when you settle in Qi. At that time, six out of ten people from the two countries fled to Qi. Lvliang Guo Jun wanted to fight Qi, but he couldn't beat Qi. Faced with this situation, he had to look up at the sky and sigh: greedy and cheap, eat big losses! Come on!
Qi conquered Lu and Liang.
2, familiar taste, the same routine, Guan Zhong conquered Lai Heju.
Lai Heju is a small country around Qi, which is mountainous and has a weak agricultural foundation, but the mountains are rich in wood.
In order to subdue the two countries, Qi set up a mint directly on the border to make money and directly buy wood from both countries.
This can make the king of Lai very happy and say to the left and right: Gold coins are very important to people. The woodcutter is a miracle of our country. With the wonder of our country, the treasure of Qi is the treasure of Qi, and Qi can be combined. ?
Look, Lai Wang didn't see the consequences, but also wanted to dress up as a pig and eat an elephant and annex Qi.
Two years later, the food price in Laiguo Juguo was 37 times higher than that in Qi, and countless people fled to Qi, and the domestic market was already empty. The monarchs of the two countries no longer have the ambition to annex Qi, but obediently worship Qi.
3. Not only the trade war between Qi and other countries, but also Guan Zhong will drive other countries to participate.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Hengshan was good at making sharp weapons, and its weapons were world-famous.
Qi Huangong looked at the map: It's very close to my country, Qi. Fuck it!
So, Qi Huangong sent people to Hengshan to buy weapons, regardless of price and quality, for ten months.
Yan and Daiguo, which are close to Qi, have a look: Why did Qi reserve so many kitchen knives? This is going to cut people. No, I will prepare some weapons to protect myself.
Yan and Daiguo also sent people to Hengshan. Qin and Zhao (Zhao should be wrong, there was no Zhao in the Spring and Autumn Period) saw that everyone was buying weapons. The world is not peaceful, buy it at once.
At this time, the happiest is the princess Hengshan: this is much better than a weapon. Since everyone likes our weapons, let's increase the price by 20 times.
Great, now one person earns more money than the previous twenty people. Who will farm the land? Even Hengshan's farm tools and sickles are made of weapons. At that time, the territory was filled with smoke and iron flowers, and it was a prosperous scene.
Seeing this, Guan Zhong stopped buying weapons and went to Yan, Dai, Qin and other places to buy food.
How much is your food?
5 1 game.
Ok, I'll buy it for fifty-one dollars.
How much do you want?
Huh, how much money you got there?
I have as much as you want.
I want as much as you have.
Six months later, Qi collected almost all the grain from other major countries, brought it all to China, and closed its trade with Hengshan.
Yan, Dai, Qin and Zhao looked at it: this is not right. There is something fishy in the gas. When you have saved enough money, don't buy weapons yet, go home and farm, or you will starve yourself.
Hengshan country is stupid: there is no food, no farm tools to grow food. What to eat? What to drink?
Hengshan kingdom did not surrender to this scene, but directly perished, with Lu accounting for half and Qi accounting for half.
King Lu thought, this idiot didn't look at my situation at that time. Fortunately, he drank a bowl of soup with me this time.
Guan Zhong cheated almost all neighboring countries with this trade method, and Qi Huangong also learned to be smart. Which country would like to ask what is the specialty of this country first? Chu collected deer and foxes on behalf of the state, and all countries had no resistance to this means of Qi. After all, no one can be indifferent to the dazzling money.
When it comes to Jin Xiangong Ji Zhu Gui (the name), people first think of cherishing Li Ji, forcing Prince Shen Sheng to death, and driving Zhong Er and Yiwu away, which eventually led to civil strife in Jin State and Zhong Er's exile 19 years.
In fact, Jin Xiangong was also a king with great achievements. During his reign, Jin Xiangong? Seventeen in the United States and thirty-eight in the country? It laid a solid foundation for the later rule of Jin Wengong and Zhong Er. Among the seventeen countries destroyed by Jin Xiangong, there is the Yuguo that we want to talk about today.
Yu State and Guo State are both vassal States of Ji surname in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are important countries of barriers in the western part of Zhou royal family. It's a pity that both countries are close to Kim.
Zuozhuan? "Xi Gong Er Nian" records that there is danger between Jin and Guo if they want to cut Guo. Xun Shi presented a fine horse and a jade to crusade against Guo.
Jin Xiangong said these are my royal treasures. How could it be given to Yu Gong?
Xun said disapprovingly:? If the road is dangerous, it is still outside the house. ? If we succeed, Yuguo will be your house, and the baby will be in Yuguo for a few days.
It can be seen that Yu was deliberately destroyed at this time, and the monarch of Yu did not know and was kept in the dark.
Jin Xiangong also said: Yuzhou has Gong, so it may not be successful.
Gong was a famous minister of the state of Yu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and one of the few people with foresight? Dr. Wuyi? Priscilla is a doctor recommended by Gong. There are virtuous ministers like Gong and Baijila in Yuzhou, but unfortunately they didn't do their best.
Xun Xi knew this as early as the early Qing dynasty: Gong is also a coward who dare not remonstrate. He is worse than Jun, who is close to him. He wouldn't listen despite being advised. ?
Xun drove a BMW and beautiful jade to meet him.
Yugong was very happy to see the gift, because in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, BMW jade was a gift from a small country to a big country. Now the great power Kim gave it as a gift, which greatly satisfied his vanity. Besides, Xun also brought all BMW horses and peerless jade.
Before Xun could speak, things were half done.
Xun said to him:? Ji cut Yu, Jin cut Ji for. Today, the State of Guo was rude to our State of Jin, harassed our border, and begged your Majesty to lend us a way to the State of Jin to crusade against the State of Guo. ?
The foolish old man agreed without thinking, and asked Xun enthusiastically: Are you short of people? Is there a food shortage? Let me be a pioneer for you.
Qi Huangong thinks that if your great country, the State of Jin, attacks Guo, I will certainly get a lot of benefits. Unfortunately, Yu Gong doesn't understand that Guo Yu is an alliance. Why should we form an alliance? Because * * * threatens the state of Jin. At this time, Yu Gong abandoned his allies for petty gain. Is gold so cheap?
Xun was so happy that he almost fell off the sofa: Is there such a good thing? What a windfall.
Knowing that there was danger, Gong He's guess was as expected by Xun and was not adopted.
At that time, the Jin-Yu allied forces crusaded against the State of Guo and captured xia yang. Guo Zheng, the monarch at that time, led the main force to resist Rong Di. Suddenly, he got the news that the Shanxi-Henan allied forces had occupied xia yang. At that time, he wondered: isn't Yu Guo an ally of our country? Didn't Guo Yu promise that I wouldn't be harassed by the State of Jin? Why did you suddenly attack me? Is this still my little friend? Nothing can be said. Retreat and save Yang.
As expected, the strength of Guo is not strong, and it will certainly be harder than the combination of Jin and Yu, and going abroad has become a nail between Jin and Guo.
Guo Yu won a lot of trophies in this battle, and Yu Gong could wake up laughing when he slept happily: it turns out that bullying others has so many benefits.
Three years later, that is, five years later, Jin Xiangong felt that BMW and Meiyu had stayed in Yuguo long enough and wanted them back, so he did the same thing again.
This time, Gong still opposed it. He said to Yu Gong. Guo, Yu Zhizi also. If you die, you have to die with it. Can't start, coach can't play, what is it, what can it be again? As the saying goes, "auxiliary cars depend on each other, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold", and its danger and embarrassment are also called. ?
This time, Gong used wheels and body, lips and teeth to compare the relationship between Yu and Guo. With the demise of the State of Guo, is it necessary for the State of Yu to exist for the State of Jin? For one thing, it cannot be confronted alone, and for the other, it has no use value? Occasionally follow Jin to wipe Guo's oil. Guo ran out of gas. Who did Kim bully?
Yugong is still immersed in the fantasy of dividing Guo, but of course he won't listen. Jin and Yu belong to the same family. How can they hurt our country? And every time I sacrifice to ghosts and gods, I am very devout, and ghosts and gods will bless me. ?
The palace could hardly speak: Yu and Jin belong to the same family, but isn't Guo the same family? Don't you forget that Yu and Guo once formed an alliance against Jin? Ghosts and gods bless virtuous people, and they are helpless about their own death.
Finally, he refused to listen and borrowed money from the Jin army.
The Jin army, led by general Rick, passed through Yuzhou and destroyed the State of Guo in four months. Jin Banshi returned to his hometown and passed through Yuzhou, giving more than half of the spoils to Yu Gong. Danger male mouth doesn't close properly at this time, the in the mind still blame gong, this good thing almost let him to spoil.
Supposedly 8 jin j pass by, the past is the past, but rick suddenly? What's wrong with you? After the coach was ill, of course, the army could not move forward, so it was stationed near Yu's capital.
Yugong did not doubt it, but entertained the Jin army with delicious food.
Did Jin Xiangong hear about Rick? What's wrong with you? , very? Sad? So I personally came to Yu's hometown.
When Jin Xiangong came, of course, Qi Huangong wanted to play the role of landlord, so he was welcomed out of the city, and they also agreed to go hunting.
The two are still talking and laughing. Qi Huangong suddenly found that the capital was on fire, and hurried out of the city, only to find that the flag of Chengtou had been replaced by that of 8 Jin J..
I think Jin Xiangong must be a face of obscene said. We are all real relatives. Your place is too small. We are rich in land and resources. Go to our place for retirement. By the way, bring me back the BMW jewels I gave you. ?
Yugong must want to cry, who will let himself be greedy and cheap? Guo's status as a lip is gone, and this tooth is really going to freeze off.
After all, it's the same clan, but I didn't put out the Yu sacrifice. Yu's land tax land tax was also given to Zhou's royal family in exchange for Zhou's acquiescence.
Stone cow dung gold, five ding escorting these people mentioned above, although they all suffered a big loss in the end, but fortunately they also got some benefits in the early stage. What I'm going to say next is ridiculous. I put myself in the jaws of death just because of my imaginary interests.
Before telling this historical story, let's review a few sentences in Li Bai's Shu Dao Nan.
Shu Dao, is it difficult to go to the sky? 、? Forty-eight thousand years later, don't talk to Qin Sai? 、? Once it was broken by an earthquake, some brave people lost it, and then the ladder was connected with the stone pile? 、? Although the bunker is strong and steep, one person guards it and ten thousand people can't beat it? .
All these words are related to this allusion.
We know that Sima Cuo, the eighth ancestor of Sima Qian and the general of Qin Huiwen, fought against Shu, but how did he get to Shu?
Qin has always been a big western country, but it only occupied the rich land in Guanzhong. Although he had the heart to unify the whole country, he did not have the power to sweep the six countries before Qin Huiwen was in power.
During Qin Huiwen's reign, he made great efforts to employ wise men, including Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Gui Lizi and Sima Cuo.
In the ninth year of Qin Huiwen (3 16 BC), Shu, Ju and Ba, which are located in today's Sichuan Basin, attacked each other. King Huiwen of Qin wanted to send troops to attack Shu, but he was worried that the road was steep and difficult, and that South Korea might invade.
Zhang Yi advocated the eastward expedition to South Korea, and then competed for the Central Plains. Sima Cuo advocated going south to destroy Shu. Get enough land to expand the country? ,? Taking its wealth is enough to enrich the people and train soldiers? ("Warring States Policy? Qin ce? 》); Moreover, Bashu can communicate with Chu by waterway. If you get Shu, you will get Chu, and if Chu dies, the world will merge. ("Huayang National Records? Shu Zhi ").
Finally, King Huiwen of Qin adopted Sima Cuo's suggestion.
Li Bai's "Difficult Road to Shu" said that since the beginning of the world, there has been no road connection between Shu and Guanzhong, and getting through the Qin-Shu passage has become the first priority to destroy Shu, so King Qin Huiwen thought of a coup.
"Zhu? Mianshui led the officials of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms to read On Ben Shu (the local chronicles of Shu, lost), saying: King Hui of Qin wanted to attack Shu without knowing it. He made five Shi Niu, put the gold at the tail, said that he could shit gold, and Shu Wang was responsible, so he let Five Ding lead the way. Qin made Yi Cheung and Sima Cuo find their way to destroy Shu, because of the saying? Shi Niu Road? .
Liu Zhou, a Northern Qi writer, "Liu Zi? It is also recorded in "Greed for Love" that in the past, Shu was greedy, and Qin Huiwang heard that he wanted to cut it down. The mountain stream is dangerous and the road is impassable. Cutting stones for cows is mostly made of gold and silk, and the cows are placed behind, which is called cow dung gold. Bequeathed to the marquis of Shu. Shu Hou is greedy, but embarrassed (Qi? N) Fill the valley with mountains, so that Wuding Lishi can meet Shi Niu. Qin people followed suit, but they perished in the country. Laugh for the world. Greedy for small profits and lose their big profits.
In order to trick the King of Shu into building a passage connecting Qin and Shu, King Huiwen carved five cows with stones and put a lot of gold and silver jewelry on their hips. Then, he spread the news everywhere that Qin got a treasure, a magical cow that could pull gold.
The news soon reached the ears of the greedy king of Shu. I heard that there is such a treasure in the world, and if you get it, you can lie at home and make money every day. So the king of Shu sent someone to the state of Qin to buy this magical cow.
Qin Huiwen said simply:? Qin and Shu are good neighbors and good partners from generation to generation (how can they be friendly from generation to generation if the road is blocked? ), talking about money hurts feelings, I don't sell this magical cow. ?
The messenger of Shu was dumbfounded, and King Qin Huiwen went on to say:? I gave it to King Shu as a gift. However, the road of Shu is very difficult. One mistake on the road, one bump, and the god cow will be in trouble if she doesn't get the gold again. Go back and discuss with Shu Wang, how to send this magical cow away safely? It is better to build a highway. ?
The messenger came back, Shu Wang said, it was not easy. I have five Hercules under my command (the legendary five Hercules), who can split the mountain and open the way. Just send them.
So five Ding Lishi opened the road of Shu and Qin, which is the source of Shu Road.
After Wu Ding Lishi welcomed Shen Niu back to Shu, the King of Shu couldn't wait to see it. As a result, he was flattered and found that this Shi Niu was Shi Niu, and there was no gold at all. King Shu was furious: Qin Huiwen, a bad old man, was too bad to be trusted.
Besides, King Huiwen of Qin has a road here, but it is the road that five Ding Lishi of Shu can take, and it is not suitable for marching at all. What can we do? So Qin had another plan. He sent someone to Shu, telling the king of Chu that Jinniu might bump on the road, and Shu would have no aura. For the sake of friendship between Qin and Shu from generation to generation, I specially selected five stunning beauties for Shu Wang.
Hearing that there was a beautiful woman, King Shu's anger immediately subsided and he sent five Ding Lishi to see the beautiful woman (five Ding Lishi were really busy).
Five Ding Lishi picked up Qin Beauty and came back. When passing Zitong (now Zitong County, Mianyang), I suddenly saw a big snake drilling into a cave. Five Ding Lishi wanted to kill the people, so he went to catch this big snake. Five people worked together to drag the serpent out of the cave little by little.
Five people were happy when suddenly there was a demon wind, only to hear a loud noise, the earth shook and the mountain collapsed. In an instant, five strong men and five beautiful women were crushed to death. One mountain has also become five peaks! But the natural barrier between Qin and Shu no longer exists. Is this the one in Shu Dao Nan? Once it was broken by an earthquake, some brave people lost it, and then the ladder was connected with the stone pile? .
The king of Shu was heartbroken at the loss of beautiful women, and came here to remember five beautiful women and named the five peaks? Five women? . The people were extremely dissatisfied with this and named the five peaks privately? Five ding? .
This is the origin of Wuding Valley today. At first, the road connecting Jinniu was called Jinniu Road, also known as Shi Niu Road.
With this smooth road, Sima Cuo led the troops south and started the battle to destroy Shu. Shu Wang, who led the troops in Jiange, resisted for a while. He was no match for Qin Jun, and he didn't meet Qin Jun. Face to face, he could only give people's heads to the military, and finally he died.
There are many legends mentioned above, and the actual situation is not so magical, but it is probably the same.
Qi, located between Shu and Qin, governs Zitong County, Mianyang, Sichuan, Jiange County, Guangyuan, Qingchuan County, Lizhou District, Zhaohua District, Chaotian District, wangcang county, Cangxi County, Kangxian County, ningqiang county, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, Lueyang County and Nanzheng County.
Fuguo was a enfeoffment of Shu, and the founding monarch was Du Jiameng, King Shu and Duchamp IX. Duchamp enfeoffed Du Jiameng to prevent him from competing for his own throne, and also to resist the threat of Qin, a fence country. But after two lifetimes, Shu began to get on well with Pakistan, the feud of Shu, and has been flirting with Qin.
At that time, Zhang Re, the son of Zhang Yi, the State of Qin, came to Shu with five golden heads of Shi Niu and trumpeted the close relationship between Qin and Shu. King Qin Huiwen gave five magical cows that could pull gold to Shu.
At that time, the King of Shu was the 12th Ming Jun Dulu. Although he is outstanding in ability, he is young and lustful.
Huayang country? Shu Zhi includes:? During the reign of King Xian of Zhou, King Shu had a place to praise Han. Because he was hunting in the valley, he met King Hui of Qin, and King Hui gave him a golden barn (a square bamboo vessel for rice or clothes), leaving things for King Shu and Wang Baozhen to play with. ? Load again:? In the twenty-second year of King Xian of Zhou, the Duke of Shu went to Qin. King Hui of Qin counted the beautiful women, but King Shu felt that he saw them. ?
In order to teach the country a lesson and take away the sacred cow, Wu Dingli (that is, five groups of laborers) built a direct road to the country. At this point, there is only a natural barrier between Qin and Shu. Sima Cuo led the troops across Jiange and went south to destroy Shu.
Du Lu, the king of Shu, forgot why his ancestors enfeoffed the country in the first place. He opened his door for temporary convenience and finally took advantage of Qin. After the capture of Bashu, Qin had both a strategic rear area and an eastward passage.
