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

"Under Guan Zhong's reforms, Qi's politics, economy and culture continued to develop. After thousands of years, it accumulated a strong material foundation and military strength, which was far beyond the comparison of other vassal states. Qi Huangong began to do this on his own career of domination.”

"Guan Zhong's reforms promoted Qi's economic prosperity and political stability, making Qi one of the most powerful countries at the time. This also laid the foundation for the unification and prosperity of the Flower Country."

"Compared with hegemony under "power", Qi Huangong's hegemony is more diplomatic, that is, using diplomatic means and military pressure to make the major princes recognize their status as "chief of princes", and can attack disrespectful people on behalf of the emperor. .”

"Under strong military pressure, the major vassal states had to obey Qi Huangong's order, began to stop wars and wars, and unanimously resisted the Rong and Di. This is what Guan Zhong said, "The Rong and Di are wolves, and they cannot be disliked; the states of Xia Intimacy cannot be abandoned. "

"From a certain point of view, the Chinese civilization in the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period could be completely preserved and not persecuted by the Rong, Di and Nanman people. This was inseparable from Guan Zhong's reform. Therefore, he is also called "Chinese Civilization" protector."

"In general, Guan Zhong created many "firsts" in the history of our country, and the reforms in subsequent dynasties were basically based on him."

"We all know that every reform will touch the interests of the old aristocracy, and the end of every reformer will not be so good. However, Guan Zhong is an exception, because many of his reforms have a certain degree of "softness." .”

"For example, Shang Yang's approach to land reform was to forcibly take back the land from the landlords, while Guan Zhong's approach was to negotiate with the nobles. Both parties reached a balance of interests, making Qi's reform neither bloody nor bloody. There is no political unrest.”

"Such a gentle approach allowed Guan Zhong to die a good death. He died of illness in 645 BC, ending his legendary life. However, his glory and glory have remained in history and are still praised by people today."

"Although the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties carry traces of the historical development of our country, the real transformation of civilization was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Guan Zhong's reforms provided a stable and positive soil for it. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi are all called A saint, and Guan Zhong was called "the teacher of saints" by later generations."

"His historical status and contribution are summed up in four short words. On the contrary, it is another form on the battlefield. Why do people call him a loser?"

"This has to talk about the dark history of Guan Zhong. Before Guan Zhong became prime minister, he was a guy with a lot of shortcomings. He was greedy for money, timid, afraid of death, and petty. These are all the characteristics of a villain in the market. Guan Zhong was unfortunate. , but at the same time he is also lucky.”

"He is unfortunate because he lost his father when he was a child. From the day he could remember, he and his mother depended on each other. It is said that children from poor families become masters early. This sentence is not used to celebrate the New Year at all when applied to Guan Zhong. From a young age, Guan Zhong began to help his mother with housework within his power."

"He is lucky because he has a confidant who has shown great favor to him many times. When the family has no money, he will give him gifts privately. When he makes a mistake, he will put himself in his shoes. For this reason, even once, when he was about to become a ghost under the sword, he tried his best to persuade the king, and then he saved his life from the sword. "

"Perhaps many people have already guessed - yes, his confidant is the famous Bao Shuya in history!"

"It's a coincidence that Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya are fellow villagers. They are both Yingshang people in Qi State."

"Although they are fellow villagers, the two of them met and got to know each other when they were about to reach adulthood."

"Because Bao Shuya's father, Bao Jingshu, held an important position in the Qi court and his fiefdom was in Baoyi, Bao Shuya spent his childhood in Baoyi."

"When Bao Shuya was fifteen or sixteen years old and basically able to live independently, his father allowed him to return to his hometown to live!" "It was when Bao Shuya returned to his hometown that the God of Destiny specially arranged for the meeting of these two strange people. "

"They are of the same age and have similar personalities. For two young people, this is enough to become good friends. Other family and status are nothing to them."

"After dating for a period of time, both of them were deeply attracted and impressed by each other's character. Soon, the two of them fell in love with each other - in this life, they share blessings and share hardships, natural disasters and man-made disasters. never separate!"

"After worshiping, life must go on."

"The road ahead of Guan Zhong is quite difficult. His mother is old and frail. Although he has grown up, he still does not even have a legitimate job."

"In order to make ends meet, he had to start a small business, but his family was so poor that he had no capital to start a business. Fortunately, he had a good friend, Bao Shuya, who funded Guan Zhong's business."

"But in the Spring and Autumn Period, the status of businessmen was very low, so they were often bullied. In difficult times, they even worked as pickpockets, which shows how downcast they were."

"In addition to being a pickpocket, he was also very greedy for money. Bao Shuya contributed a lot in the business, and he was also an investor, so he should have received the largest return. However, Guan Zhong was jealous when he saw money, and he often only took the big money."

"Bao Shuya doesn't care about him. After all, he needs funds. To be active in politics and to develop in politics, he needs money."

"Okay, now that we have the capital, let's start preparing to purchase the goods. Since the two of them are honest and trustworthy, the goods are genuine, and they are honest, and they are very kind to customers, so under their careful management, the business is booming. It’s still pretty good!”

"The two of them made an agreement that every time the goods are sold out, they will divide the money according to the size of their investment. Whoever invests more will get more."

"As the saying goes, "brothers have to settle accounts clearly." But for Guan and Bao, their friendship at this time has far exceeded that of ordinary brothers, and they have a true sense of brotherhood. .”

"Perhaps life has changed Guan Zhong, and he has gradually changed."

"Because of their friendship, every time they shared money, Bao Shuya always asked Guan Zhong to do it."

"But Guan Zhong started not to follow the principles when it came to dividing. He secretly gave himself more points every time."

"It's okay once or twice. As time went by, the attendants around Bao Shuya gradually couldn't stand it anymore and quietly said to Bao Shuya: "Guan Zhong is too greedy. Should he take so much?Bao Shuya, it’s true that you suffer losses every time. You say it’s fine if you don’t tell him, but you continue to do business with him. Will you be able to make money in the long run? ""
