Guan Zhong was born in an official family, but his family fell into decline. He was smart and studious when he was young. After a weak crown, he traveled for several years but failed to achieve his goals. Later, he was recommended by Bao Shuya three times, and Duke Huan of Qi built an altar to worship the prime minister and respected him as Zhongfu. Guan Zhong was born to reform and enrich the country. He reformed agriculture economically and used the strategy of declining land and conquest to make the warehouses full and the people full. Later he reformed the agricultural production method and creatively promoted the iron plow and oxen farming from the backward wooden plow man-ploughing, which greatly promoted agricultural production and gave Qi a rich material foundation. Guan Zhong pioneered the salt and iron monopoly system and launched the policy of government, mountain and sea. For salt and iron, he advocated the policy of democratic system, official collection, official transportation, and official loss to accumulate wealth, making the country of Qi rapidly prosperous. Guan Zhong also reformed industry, commerce and handicrafts, promoted the rapid development of commodity trade, and increased Qi's influence in the vassal states. Guan Zhong had great ambitions, and he managed the country like playing the harp. He made good use of the power of his ten fingers to recommend the five heroes of Qi to assist himself and Duke Huan of Qi. Politically, he respected the king and resisted the barbarians. Militarily, he adopted the strategy of combining the army and the people. Guan Zhong is worthy of being the first prime minister of China. He established virtues, meritorious service and words, and had a profound influence on future generations. In the words of Confucius: We have always bathed in Guan Zhong's kindness, otherwise we will be enslaved by the naked barbarians. The achievements of the prime minister are shining in the annals of history and will last forever!

It has been said for thousands of years that it is powerful, scholars, farmers, industry, commerce, politics, economy and diplomacy... There are many sweaty business wars, I admire them [like] [like] "There are three principles for governing a country. First, the moral character of ministers must be commensurate with their status; second, the merits of ministers must be commensurate with their salaries; third, the abilities of ministers must be commensurate with their official positions. These three fundamental issues are the root causes of chaos in the country." On this day, beggars all over the world can beg for delicacies sacrificed to Yi Ya. The beggars jokingly call it the tooth-beating sacrifice. Of course, "ya" refers to Yi Ya, and "ji" refers to the sacrifice. It is difficult to solve the problem. It can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If it's just charity, a rich man can do it, so why does the Lord need to do it himself? Guan Zhongdao said, "When a monarch governs a country, he must improve the system and policies." For example, to solve the problem of someone without a wife, a decree was issued to allow men in Qi to marry at the age of twenty and women to marry at the age of fifteen.

"Guan Zhong" is an ancient work with profound political, economic, military, education, rule of law and philosophical thoughts.

"Guan Zhong was used by Duke Heng of Qi to take charge of the political affairs of Qi. Duke Heng of Qi became the hegemon, united the nine princes, and unified the world. It was all Guan Zhong's strategy." "Historical Records - Biography of Guan Yan" This was said by Sima Qian, and I agree with what he said. Whether it was rectifying internal affairs, adjusting agriculture, actively developing commercial activities, or monopolizing salt and iron, the implementation of each policy laid a loyal foundation for Qi Henggong's hegemony. It can be said that if it were not for Guan Zhong, the top hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period would not necessarily be Qi Henggong. Among them, Bao Shuya's three recommendations and the ability of Prime Minister Qi Henggong to punt are also one of the necessary conditions for success. You must know that our prime minister assassinated the future Duke Heng of Qi.

Confucius is a Chinese sage. Confucius has two sages in his heart, one is Zhou Gong and the other is Guan Zhong. He said in "The Analects of Confucius·Xianwen": Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi, dominated the princes, and brought order to the world. People still benefit from his kindness to this day. Without Guan Zhong, we would have disheveled hair, bare arms, and become slaves to the barbarians.

Guan Zhong was once a failed businessman, a timid soldier, and a derelict official, but he eventually became a famous prime minister who helped Qi dominate the princes. This book uses detailed historical materials and smooth writing to tell the legendary life of Guan Zhong, a famous prime minister in the Spring and Autumn Period. With his great wisdom and courage, he gradually pushed Qi to the position of hegemony. He was the first person in Chinese history to govern the country, make it prosperous and strengthen its military. At the same time, it also shows the subtle, tortuous and magnificent historical scenes of the war between princes during the Spring and Autumn Period.

He has gradually grown from a loser to a famous figure. This process is so admirable. Just like those hard-working friends around me, as long as you have a dream and persevere, you will surely succeed one day. Moreover, the reform policies implemented by Guan Zhong had a profound impact on the country. It also reminded me of the current development of the country. Reform is really important! In short, this book not only has an attractive story, but also allows people to learn a lot. It is worth reading!

It looks good. I learned the basics in the first pass and still need to do 2 more brushes!

Guan Zhong was really a god, he could make tricks, make squares, and change teeth. The three of them were water, and Guan Zhong was the one who lifted the dam. Without Guan Zhong, the dam would collapse, and bad water would flood and cause disasters. Duke Huan of Qi did not accept his advice, and it took nine months for his body to rot and grow maggots before he was buried.
