History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Qin Shihuang: When I heard about the person who was in charge of the new martial arts temple, I immediately dismissed the mention of the emperor at that time. General Yue Fei was right. When I think of who the emperor is, there is nothing to discuss about the new martial arts temple. , it was also abolished in the Ming Dynasty. Let’s listen to the abilities of these people!
Zhu Yuanzhang: Yes, just listen to the ability and let everyone discuss the topic. Anyway, it’s over today.

Cao Cao: Bai is angry. You said that Zhao Kuangyin ruled the Song Dynasty with culture. How could he not cause trouble? He was really good at playing blindly!
Zhao Kuangyin: How come the Martial Arts Temple is not good according to my "moral" standards? Wu Qi and Bai Qi killed their wives one by one and killed hundreds of thousands of people. How can they go to the Martial Arts Temple? Is this a sacred place like the Martial Arts Temple?
Liu Xiu: Your brain...

"Ahem! I'll keep talking, otherwise I won't be able to finish today." Zhang Yanxi quickly changed the topic. If she didn't stop him, he would be scolded.

"At the same time, Guan Zhong also opened up wasteland and built water conservancy projects in Qi State, which made Qi State's agriculture prosperous. With the prosperity of agriculture, there was a source of agricultural taxes, and Qi State got rid of poverty."

"Guan Zhong also set up guesthouses every thirty miles in Qi to receive foreign merchants, which greatly promoted the improvement of fish and salt profits in Qi. From then on, "merchants returning to Qi are like running water."

"In addition, before the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no concept of "Yi". After Guan Zhong divided the people of the world into scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, people from all walks of life had their own production and development areas, so that the gathering areas of "Yi" began to slowly appear." ( Eup is the current city)
"The existence of the city promotes the development of industry and commercial exchanges. The development of industry and commerce has led to the continuous optimization of the city. Traditional industries have been further improved. Commercial taxes have provided a large amount of fiscal revenue for Qi."

"The emergence of towns also prompted the emergence of early towns such as counties, townships, and towns, which was beneficial to the country's management of the population, thus changing the barbaric thinking of the people in the tribal era and virtually maintaining the stability of the country."

"Economically, Guan Zhong brought stability to Qi and lifted Qi out of poverty. Militarily, he also made major reforms."

"The economic foundation determines the superstructure. With a stable political environment and strong economic support, it is logical to strengthen the army."

"Guan Zhong broke the original military system of Qi State and established the systems of Wu, Xiaorong, pawn, and brigade." (similar to the current military division, brigade, regiment, and battalion)
"He strengthened the organization of the army and improved its combat effectiveness. He implemented the "army soldier system" and stipulated the equipment and training standards for soldiers. He strengthened the army's communication and command capabilities by implementing the "beacon system"."

"In the early days, the army was generally under the jurisdiction of the nobles. After the implementation of the new military system, the army was directly controlled by the monarch, which further undermined the power and threat of the old clan nobles and strengthened the monarch's power and control."

"In addition, the army conducts training every day in spring and autumn, and mainly focuses on agriculture during the busy farming season. This can not only improve the actual combat level, but also ensure the country's economic resources. It is quite similar to the military system of the Southern and Northern Dynasties."

"With reforms in the two major aspects of economy and military, reforms in talent and politics are indispensable. Political power is also a major issue."

"The earliest bureaucratic system was the "Shiqing Shilu System." Such a bureaucratic system allowed people from the upper class to continuously control the power of the country through hereditary inheritance, but it was not conducive to the rise of talents and the development of the country."

“He implemented an aristocratic political system in Qi State and allowed nobles to hold important positions in the country to ensure the country’s political stability and economic development. At the same time, he also implemented the policy of “dispersing the country and uniting the country”, Let nobles take turns in power to avoid political corruption and abuse of power."

"The most important aspect of Guan Zhong's political reform is talent selection. He proposed three social phenomena: "morality does not match his position, merit does not match his salary, and ability does not match his official position", and then he gave corresponding solutions." He established the education system of Qi and standardized the teaching content and teaching methods of schools at all levels."

"He stipulated the ideological education of "scholars aspire to the Tao" and emphasized the importance of moral and moral education. Finally, he encouraged people to value education by rewarding outstanding students and officials."

"Using "kindness, filial piety," "fist bravery," and "intelligence" as criteria, let officials at all levels recommend corresponding talents, and then those who stand out through the king's inspection can pursue an official career. This not only breaks the system of worldly officials and nobles, but also stimulates The enthusiasm of talents is also a sign of the rise of Shi Group."

"Talent is the foundation for development at any time and anywhere. Due to the prevailing trend of attaching importance to talents, many talented people came to Qi State to seek official and part-time positions during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Qi State's strength continued from the Spring and Autumn Period to the middle of the Warring States Period. This shows the profound impact of Guan Zhong’s reforms.”

"Guan Zhong's reform was more than that. It also made major changes in trade, currency, social burdens and order."

"Guan Zhong also advocates opening up to the outside world and strengthening foreign exchanges. He believes that open trade can promote the country's economic development."

"He took several measures to open up trade: he established the "industrial and commercial food officials" system, nationalized some handicrafts and agricultural sectors, and improved the country's economic control."

"Secondly, he promoted trade exchanges between various places, established Qi's ports and commercial districts, and attracted a large number of merchants and wealth to flow into Qi. He stipulated the time and place for commodity transactions, and standardized transactions in the trade market rule."

"Under the leadership of Guan Zhong, Qi State carried out currency system reforms. He launched the "Platinum Three Grades" system, which divided currency into three types: platinum, red gold and gold, representing different purchasing power and social status. The launch of this system , effectively promoted Qi’s commodity trade and economic development.”

"Guan Zhong implemented the policy of light taxation and low taxation in Qi State, which reduced the people's burden and improved their living standards."

"Social order is the foundation of governing the country. Guan Zhong took a series of measures to rectify social order. He strengthened public security forces and strictly supervised the order of social life. He implemented new laws and imposed clear penalties for criminal acts. He also passed Encourage births and increase population to increase the country’s productivity.”

"This is Guan Zhong's rule of law, a complete reform. The country's rule of law at that time was indeed the cornerstone of national stability."

"In order to promote the rule of law, Guan Zhong stipulated that "the punishment should not be punished by officials", thus protecting the legitimate rights and interests of ordinary people."

"He implemented the "criminal law system" and provided clear penalties for criminal acts. He improved the country's governance ability by implementing the system of "promoting virtuous people and appointing capable people" to select and appoint capable people."
