The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that it has not learned any lessons from history.

From Guan Zhong's purchase of deer from the Chu State, the Hengshan conspiracy, to the knife-drawing oil of "Amei Look", the most powerful country in Blue Star in later generations, to the world's largest grain exporter, to chips and so on.

It's basically the same routine.

When we were raising leeks, we were a good couple, good brothers, and last but not least, a strategic partnership.

Come on, brother, let me tell you, if you produce these things yourself, you have to start from scratch, and the cost is too high.

It's cheaper than buying them from me, I have them all.

If you still think it's expensive, then rent, it's cheaper.

If you want to have a good harvest of leeks, it is necessary to make a little money at the beginning of the layout. It doesn't matter if you even lose a little.

When doing business, is it normal to invest principal?

When it comes to cutting leeks, it is the most basic requirement to be ruthless, and turning against others is a must.

Competitors are the relationship between us and the enemy, the kind that will fight until death, and do whatever is convenient for them.

It’s already come to a life-and-death situation, why do you still want to be so shameless?

"The most important thing is to cultivate a group of compradors as spokespersons for interests..."

Governor Feng emphasized.

"What is a comprador?"

Zhang Xiaosi, who was working hard to take notes, asked for advice very seriously.

Like a well-behaved female student asking a question to the teacher.

"Those aristocratic families in Wu State that have caravan exchanges with us are compradors."

Governor Feng couldn't hold back his excitement for a while, so he had to make a nonsense, "They can get huge profits from raw materials, brown sugar and other goods from the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, sugar cane is grown in Jingzhou."

"They are the group of people who least want to see the Han Dynasty and Wu State at odds with each other, but they have the right to speak in both the government and the public of Wu State."

"So as long as we sell grain to them, we can easily induce them to plant Jingzhou full of sugar cane."

"If things really get to that point, Wuhu..."

Governor Feng let out a strange laugh.

"Don't smile like that, it's so weird!"

Guan Ji hit Governor Feng and said angrily.

Then he thought about it again and said with some suspicion, "The plan is a good one, but will those people in Wu State be fooled?"

Zhang Xingyi also looked over and saw that she had the same question as her sister.

Governor Feng said earnestly:

"You are still too young to see through the essence of these so-called strategies."

"Actually, these things play with people's hearts, so there is no old trick, as long as it is useful to people's hearts."

Guan Zhong played with the leftovers. Thousands of years later, "Amei, look," he continued to play and still had a great time.

From the perspective of a bystander, or from the point of view of the plot, it feels very simple. I feel that if I take part in it, I will definitely not be fooled.

But if you really become a client, you may not do better than others.

Because those who can break through this situation by luck are either lucky ones blessed by God. The only ones left are those with great perseverance, great wisdom, and long-term vision.

Why?

"Tai Shigong has made it very clear a long time ago: the bustle in the world is all for benefit; the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit."

"If people like the Aristocratic Family can really give up such huge interests, how can they still be called an Aristocratic Family?"

A behemoth like the Han Dynasty could be packed up and sold out by aristocratic families, not to mention the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu, which were trying their best to pamper the aristocratic families.

Selling it again, is there anything strange about it?

The price is negotiable.

Although the Han Dynasty was suppressing the aristocratic family, it was only suppressing the conservative aristocratic family.

If you don’t believe me, look at the six families of the Li family in Shu, the He family, the Li family in Longyou, and the Zhang family in Dunhuang. Aren’t they all living a comfortable life?

As long as you play according to the big man's rules, nothing will be a problem.

Can a family that grows sugar cane and sells brown sugar be called a conservative family?

It must be called a transformation family, right?

Everything is very reasonable.

The more Zhang Xiaosi listened, the more his eyes shone, and his hands kept swiping as he quickly wrote down these words.

General Guan, on the other hand, pushed King Feng Gui dissatisfied:

"Earlier you said you were not allowed to say these things in front of your children, but now you are going even further than me!"

Zhang Xiaosi immediately glanced at Governor Feng.

Governor Feng made a "tsk" sound and said plausibly:

"What do you know? What I call the strategy of governing the country, what you mentioned before is called the trick of tactics, can it be the same?"

"I don't understand this! Anyway, in my opinion, they are all the same thing."

This is unreasonable...

Governor Feng glanced at General Guan and said slowly:

"Isn't this the way of governing the country that is discussed in the Feng family's book? Children have to learn it anyway, so what's the big deal now?"

The book passed down by the Feng family that General Guan placed at the bottom of the box is a secret treasure left to the descendants of the Feng family.

Hearing what Governor Feng said, her eyes immediately looked at the notes in Zhang Xiaosi's hand.

Zhang Xiaosi reacted very quickly. He quickly put the notes behind him and stood up:

"Sister, brother-in-law, I suddenly remembered that the secretariat delivered it to the inner courtyard this morning, saying that there was news from Yuexi, I will go and take a look first."

After saying that, without waiting for Guan Ji to speak, she just ran away with her notebook in her arms.

Guan Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth and vented her anger on King Feng Gui. She lifted up a small piece of skin on his body with two fingers and applied hard force:

"You are not allowed to teach her these things in the future! Family heirlooms can only be passed on to the descendants of the Feng family!"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" said the old god Feng Guiwang, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, "how can you learn such a thing in a short time?"

"Do you know what productivity and production relations are? Do you know what the relationship between economic base and superstructure is?"

General Guan's pretty face turned red. She understood every word, but she didn't understand the combination, so she became angry and said, "Speak in human language!"

"For example, everyone in the world knows that bills are good things and are made of paper, but they just want to do it. Can they make it?"

"Okay, even if they know how to choose paper pulp materials, know how to make ink, and know how to print tickets."

"But after it is printed, how do others recognize the ticket? Do they know? This is the fundamental thing."

King Feng Gui kept talking, and General Guan listened attentively.

Although she still doesn't understand.

But as long as she knows that her family heirloom is so powerful, that is enough.

After listening to King Feng Gui's bragging, General Guan was satisfied, so he asked with concern:

"Six Niang said that there is news from Yuexi, would Alang want to go and have a look?"

"What can happen to Yuexun? At most, it's just that we harvest more grain."

Feng Gui Wanghun said nonchalantly, "How much grain did the Xinghan Society invest in Yuexun so that the people of Yuexun can live as they do now?"

"Not to mention the entire Shu region, over the years, the imperial court has not treated the people badly, right? It divides fields, borrows cattle, and grains, just to make the people have enough to eat."

"Now the imperial court just wants to buy more grain from them, and it's not raising taxes and levying forced taxes. What big trouble can happen?"

In recent years, although the weather has not always been smooth for the Han Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that grain output has hit new highs every year.

Not only the promotion of new farming methods and new production tools, but also the imperial court has never stopped building water conservancy projects over the years.

Not to mention Dujiangyan, not to mention Yuexun Sunshui River Valley, there are also mountain and river weirs in Hanzhong. In recent years, more and more weirs have been built, and now they can irrigate nearly one million acres of fertile land.

Shanhe Weir is the earliest irrigation project built in Hanzhong when Emperor Gaozu was the capital of Han Dynasty in Nanzheng, and it is also the most important irrigation project in Hanzhong.

Therefore, the grain produced in Hanzhong can not only supply the army stationed in Hanzhong, but a considerable part can even be sent to Longyou.

There are four major artificial irrigation projects in the world: Zhengguo Canal and Baigong Canal in Guanzhong, Dujiang Weir in Shu and Shanhe Weir in Hanzhong.

Therefore, Guanzhong and Shu are both countries of abundance.

Although Sima Yi is currently working on farming in Guanzhong, Guanzhong has been in ruins for a long time, and it will take more than two or three years to recover.

Moreover, Guanzhong is now the front line of the battle between the Han and Wei dynasties. Even if Sima Yi maximizes his farming skills, there is no way he can compete with the rear areas like Dujiangyan.

The Han Dynasty accounted for half of the four major irrigation projects, plus the early development of the Sunshui River Valley in Yuexun County, the second largest plain in Shu.
