Chapter 293

Danji was originally planning to sneak into the palace as a dancer and assassinate Xiaobai, but unexpectedly, Xiaobai was rewarded to Guan Zhong by Xiaobai before he even saw him.

Danji was helpless, but she could only take one step at a time. As expected, the best time to assassinate Xiaobai was the previous death disaster. Once it passed, it would be difficult to assassinate him again. Then why not hide in Guan Zhong’s mansion and wait for an opportunity to act.

In this era, Yunyao believed that Guan Zhong was the protagonist of the era, but Danji and the Jingwei Alliance behind him obviously had different views. They arranged the assassination of Jiang Xiaobai, obviously thinking that killing the king of Qi was the most destructive approach.

This is a typical feudal human thought, and it is believed that the monarch who holds power is the protagonist of the times. Of course, it is not surprising that they have this idea, after all, even the philosophers cannot break out of this vicious circle.

From Guan Zhong to Han Feizi, the sons tried their best to think. Their profound thoughts could compete with the stars, but in the end they still did not transcend the power of the monarch. Even Han Feizi, who had a clear understanding of the hearts, finally relied on the power of the monarch, and eventually died tragically on the power of Qin Shihuang.

Although the human races in the Jingwei Alliance are all monks, they cannot escape the limitations of history. They believe that the person with the greatest power in the world is the most important person in the human race.

Judging from the divination results, Qi State will soon stand out in the next few decades, become the most powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and achieve the achievement of "Nine Consolidation of Princes and One Consolidation of the World". Assassination of Xiaobai will definitely make the race fall into turmoil.

Unfortunately, the best chance of assassination was destroyed by Yunyao, which was really hateful. Danji was sent to Guan Zhong's mansion as a dancer. She was angry, but she still pretended that an ordinary woman was still holding her troops, and life was very sad.

For a hundred years, Danji has been practicing hard to find Yunyao to revenge and improve her cultivation, and has long reached the fasting stage, but in order to lurk, she has to pretend to eat.

On this day, Danji performed a dance. Guan Zhong was very happy to see it, so he rewarded the delicious food.

Danji was stunned after taking a bite because it was Yunyao's taste. She would not admit her mistake. Yunyao's cooking skills were unique in the world and it was already well known to everyone in the Three Realms. Many gods received a call for a few years to taste the food made by Yunyao. It was also with their cooking skills that Yunyao became a guest of honor for many gods, chatting with the gods and establishing connections.

But Guan Zhong is just a mere mortal, so how could Yunyao's craftsmanship appear in his mansion? There is something strange, Danji pretended to be calm and decided to investigate secretly.

Danji soon found Yunyao, who was disguised as a cook, but this made her even more confused. Yunyao is the God of Heaven in the Immortal Class and a disciple of the overlord of the Earth Immortal Jiujiang. Although her identity is not unattainable, it is definitely not an ordinary person. Why did she hide in Guan Zhong’s mansion and willing to cook for mortals?

Could it be that Yunyao is a slutty boy and feels uncomfortable if he doesn't work for a day? It's not right. If he wants to work, there is some job in Caiyi, so there is no need to come here to pretend to be a cook.

There was a conspiracy, Danji thought that at this time, Yunyao was in secret, which was a good opportunity for him to see what Yunyao was doing. So she decided to observe secretly and see what Yunyao was selling in the gourd.

Yunyao didn't do any tricks, just cooked, and didn't look like a god. She could get along with everyone from housekeeper to servants, and chatted together with family matters. Everyone also liked to come to chat with Yunyao, and always thought Yunyao was a close young lady.

Day after day, month after month, Yunyao did not take any action at all. Danji also continued to observe patiently.

Xiaobai accepted the proposal of Bao Shuya and Guan Zhong, cut the business tax, and promoted a series of preferential strategies for merchants to attract merchants to trade in Qi. He also straightened the brothels and opened an official girl's house.

Sure enough, the change became obvious in a few months, so Xiaobai couldn't wait to rob his neighbor.

Naturally, he returned home with great defeat. In the battle of Changshao in Qi and Lu, Cao Kui discussed the battle, and he became more and more desperate. He had obviously defeated Lu before, but he did not expect that the defeated generals in the second year would give him the chance to avenge his previous shame.

Xiaobai is a big addiction to food.

However, Guan Zhong didn't say anything, I've told you a long time ago, but actively proposed more economic reform policies. For example, stabilizing grain prices is not through tough measures, but through supply and demand relations, establishing a national granary. When the grain prices are low, they purchase grain when they are expensive, and when the grain is expensive, they can also be used as military rations and relief grains, in case they only need it from time to time.

At the same time, in order to make trade more convenient, the country's roads and water conservancy must be repaired.

The policies were implemented in an orderly manner. After Xiaobai suffered a defeat, he learned his lessons and no longer showed off his own abilities. Instead, he cooperated with Guan Zhong and called Guan Zhong the "Zhongfu".

The national strength of Qi State increased rapidly. After a series of reforms, Guan Zhong put forward another crucial suggestion, which is to "respecte the king and expel the barbarians", that is, to continue to respect the Zhou emperor, and then unite the princes to fight against the increasingly powerful barbarians around him.

The barbarians also mastered bronzes, irons and other weapons, and their combat power and organizational power became stronger and stronger. If the princes of the Zhou Dynasty did not unite, they would not be able to stop them at all.

Therefore, Guan Zhong proposed to "respecte the king and expel the barbarians" at this time, and Qi took the lead in uniting under the banner of the Zhou emperor and continued to fight against the outside world to protect the security of various countries, so that Qi could become the strongest country under the Zhou emperor.

This is a strategic vision, unlike Xiaobai who has some capital to bully his neighbors. Guan Zhong has a far-sighted vision to discover the main contradiction, that is, the contradiction between Chinese civilization and barbarians. While strengthening himself, he has never forgotten the responsibility of a big country.

Emperor Zhou is not doing well now and has reached the point of robbing his neighbors and making a living. The key is that he can't robb, but he is cut by his neighbors, which is really ruined.

The Zhou State must have been unable to bear the responsibility of leading everyone to fight against the barbarians, but Guan Zhong knew that this was the main contradiction. Fighting between the princes was a matter within the Chinese nation, but barbarians were outsiders and were the biggest enemy of China.

Therefore, when the national strength of Qi improved slightly, Guan Zhong proposed to "respecte the king and expel the barbarians". If there is a country bullied by barbarians, Qi would help under the banner of the Zhou emperor.

As Guan Zhong's series of measures were implemented, Xiaobai was also shocked by Guan Zhong, which gave Guan Zhong countless rewards. When the people of Qi saw Guan Zhong living in a high-rise courtyard, they were wearing bright clothes and angry horses. Not only did they not hate the rich, but they were also worried that Guan Zhong was not rich enough. Qi admired the benefactor who led Qi out of poverty and became rich from top to bottom.

Danji then realized the reason why Yunyao was hiding in Guan Zhong's mansion. This was to steal Guan Zhong's incense. Danji secretly thought that Yunyao was indeed despicable, and he used his identity as a god to do dirty things. Regarding the prediction that the Jingwei Alliance values ​​Xiaobai and neglects Guan Zhong, Danji did not think that the Jingwei Alliance had no vision and had no foresight, but only said that Yunyao was despicable.

When they relied on Yueyin's divination, they did not feel despicable when they took the initiative. They were really allowed to set fire to the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamps.

"I knew she must have had some intentions, otherwise how could she be willing to be a humble cook?" Danji always looked like she saw through Yunyao, and always felt that Yunyao was acting in front of outsiders.

Danji thought that she could not let Yunyao succeed, so she simply killed Guan Zhong. Anyway, after observation, Qi's strength has a great relationship with Guan Zhong.
