"Gu Xiaoshuai... No, it should be called Shaoshuai Gu. Oh, it is not right. Gu Dashuai has passed away, and he should be called Shuai Gu." Yao Changsheng shouted exaggeratedly, looking at Gu Congshan provocatively, "Why don't you eat it! This sweet and sour fish is really good." Suddenly, he screamed, "This is dead, Daddy, eating so well is unfilial! It's not over the first seventh? It's not the anniversary! How can you be big fish and meat! Eat vegetarian, eat vegetarian!"

Gu Congshan held back his anger and glared at Yao Changsheng, as vulgar as that stinky girl.

Chu Jiu also saw that Gu Xiaoshuai was like a toad. He just came to disgust you. He put down his chopsticks and added a handful of fire. "Hey! You shouldn't be able to eat vegetarian food. Now that Gu Dashuai has passed away, as a son, he should not think about tea or food." He waved directly, "Remove, take it down."

Butler Qin quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm thanking you for coming to pay tribute."

"Butler Qin, this is your fault. We are a loser. You are trapping me for being unkind and unfaithful, unfaithful and unfilial!" Chu Jiu looked at him and said deliberately.

"Retreat!" Gu Congshan squeezed out a sentence from the cracks of his teeth.

This table naturally ended in disagreement, so who cares about doing good? Anyway, the purpose of this time has been achieved.

Say goodbye and leave.

Compared to the time I came, the way home was much easier.

Especially when you reach your own territory, you are even less panicked.

Unexpectedly, this trip was so smooth. Since he had come out, Chu Jiu would of course have to go and see his own wallet.

Yao Changsheng had seen Yanjing for a long time, and he was not interested, so he took Xu Wendong out for a walk on the street.

"What are you good to buy in Pingyang County? We have lived here for a few days. I don't know what you have!" Xu Wendong said as he walked, "It's better to go out of the city to see the growth of the crops!"

"If you have Qi Zhiyuan accompany you, please feel at ease!" Yao Changsheng said enthusiastically and positively, "How can you say it out and not buy some pearl hairpins for your sister-in-law?"

"She doesn't like things in this small place." Xu Wendong said casually with a snorted lightly.

"There are the wildness of small places." Yao Changsheng looked at him with a smile and said, "Since you are here, just take a look."

"In the past long period of time, Pingyang has become much more prosperous." Xu Wendong cheered up and looked at the guise on both sides of the street.

"This is all Qi Zhiyuan's contribution to the governance!" Yao Changsheng said with a smile, "Zhenbaozhai, go in and take a look." He pulled him in together.

The two came out of Zhenbaozhai. Xu Wendong looked at him and shook his head and laughed, "You are so picky, you have picked all the people from Zhenbaozhai." He pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "It's already noon, I've been sleeping in Zhenbaozhai for a whole morning." He said while walking, "Fortunately, this shopkeeper knows us, otherwise the goods that criticize others as you do will have been bombarded out."

"I'm helping them improve, and they should thank me." Yao Changsheng said without blushing and gasping.

"I really convinced you." Xu Wendong looked at him and smiled.

"Of course you can choose what you are satisfied with when buying things, otherwise why buy them?" Yao Changsheng said with a serene thought.

Xu Wendong smiled and shook his head, "You asked me to buy pearl hairpins, why did you only buy a flute!"

"My wife, when will you see her hair full of beads?" Yao Changsheng looked at him and chuckled.

"Yes!" Xu Wendong nodded with a smile. The flute and mutton fat white jade in his hand was not cheap, and it was much more expensive than the beads and hairpins in his jewelry box.

"Changsheng should be able to play the flute!" Xu Wendong looked at him curiously and said.

"I haven't been whispered for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar." Yao Changsheng tightened the brocade box in his hand and said.

"What are you unfamiliar with? Practice more, and the feeling will come back." Xu Wendong said to him with a smile on his face.

&*&

The two returned to the county government while chatting, and Chu Jiu and Qi Zhiyuan had already returned.

Yao Changsheng saw Chu Jiu's spring breeze blowing on his face and knew that he was very satisfied with the trip.

Chu Jiu had seen the salt field and was in a state of great excitement. He could not calm down for a long time. This originally desolate land had undergone earth-shaking changes, which really made him dare not recognize it.

In the flower hall

"What did you do in the morning?" Chu Jiu sat in the main seat and looked at Yao Changsheng and the others and asked.

"We went shopping and bought some beads and hairpins in Zhenbaozhai." Xu Wendong said with a smile, "Changsheng bought a flute."

"Eternal life is proficient in music." Chu Jiu turned his eyes to him and asked curiously.

"Let's understand." Yao Changsheng said modestly with gentle eyes looking at them.

"Why did I only buy flutes, but not pearl hairpin ornaments?" Chu Jiu looked at him in surprise and said, "This doesn't look like holding his younger brother and sister in the tip of his heart."

"This flute was bought for my wife." Yao Changsheng looked at him with deep and clear eyes and said, "As for the pearl hairpin, I think my wife prefers yellow and white things."

"Ah!" Xu Wendong looked at him in surprise.

"Why does it feel vulgar?" Yao Changsheng curled his lips slightly and said with a smile, "He is a vulgar person."

Xu Wendong couldn't help but complain in his heart: You are a secular person! He is also a gentleman with a glorious and beautiful moon when he falls in the mud. It's really out of place to stand with you.

"I want to say yes, don't be angry." Xu Wendong looked at him with dark eyes and said in a low voice, "Most people like you like jade, gems, and elegant things."

"Don't be angry, after all, everyone has their own preferences." Yao Changsheng looked at him with bright eyes and said, "The older you are, the more you like gold."

"The older you are?" Xu Wendong looked at him with a smile and said, "We are all older than you."

"What I'm talking about is that I have rich experience and my heart is old." Yao Changsheng said with his deep and unsightly eyes looking at them.

Alas... Chu Jiu sighed in his heart when he heard this, and quickly changed the topic, "When it comes to Jinzi, Changsheng has time to tell us about Guanzi now! His way of governing the world, specific operations and inner connections."

"That... Lord, can we finish lunch first?" Yao Changsheng pointed to the sun outside and said, "I will definitely tell you everything at that time."

"Look at me, I'm so anxious." Chu Jiu patted his forehead and said, "Let's have dinner first."

"I'll go and serve the meal right away." Qi Zhiyuan stood up and said immediately, leaving hurriedly after the ceremony.

Chu Jiu looked at Qi Zhiyuan's back and shouted, "Just put it here! So fast."

Qi Zhiyuan turned around and held his fists and saluted, "Yes!" and turned around and retreated.

"Guanzi"? When did the elder brother become interested in Guan Zhong?" Xu Wendong said with black eyes blinking and looking at him curiously.

"We found that our ancestors are so smart. For more than a thousand years, they are still so practical. There are many experiences to learn from." Chu Jiu said with excited eyes in green light, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that many books are lost and incomplete, like "Guanzi". And how to say it? Many books were not written by them themselves, and were sorted by later generations, bringing in a lot of their own subjective emotions. This way, there will be deviations in interpretation."

"Brother, we are not the roundworms in their stomachs. This is a thousand years short of interpretation!" Xu Wendong chuckled and said when he heard this.

"So it's a reference! You can't copy it." Chu Jiu looked at him with a gentle expression and said, "It's adapted to local conditions and to the times!"

While speaking, Qi Zhiyuan and his servants brought the food.

"It's the ginger and radish again, I've been eating it for a winter." Xu Wendong smashed it and said unhappyly, "It's already spring, and this dish is not delicious."

"General Xu, the official..." Qi Zhiyuan bent over and held his wrists with his hands in fear and said, looking at him with fear.

"Zhiyuan, don't worry about him. He was picky after just two days of full meal." Chu Jiu looked at him with an unpleasant expression and said.

"Brother, I don't mean that? I mean it's enough to have meat and vegetables on this table. Isn't it a waste to have no one eat this radish?" Xu Wendong said calmly when he heard this dark eyes, "Isn't it a disgusting look at him when he sees it?"

"It's always bad to eat meat, so there's still vegetables." Chu Jiu looked at him with a gentle expression and said, "And the amount is not large. If you just slap a few chopsticks, you'll lose it." The index finger pointed at the drum stool and said, "Zhiyuan sits down and sit down together."

"Yes!" Qi Zhiyuan sat in the lower head position uneasy.

"If you really want to eat ginger and radish, I would rather eat pickled spicy cabbage and radish." Xu Wendong sucked the saliva after hearing this, "Didn't you pickled vegetables in winter?"

Qi Zhiyuan quickly stood up and said, "It's pickled, but this dish is not served, so it's not served." He said, "You are going now."

"No, no, I will eat pickles until the evening. It will be a waste of not eating them." Chu Jiu reached out and stopped Qi Zhiyuan and said, "Sit down, sit down."

The four of them ate all the dishes on the table, and most of the vegetables and carrots were put into Yao Changsheng and Chu Jiu's stomachs.

The ginger and radish are not delicious when it is in spring. When it is not cooked, it feels like it cannot be chewed.

Today's stewed with radish and radish is soft and stewed in broth, and the taste is pretty good, which shows that Qi Zhiyuan has put his heart into it.

Yao Changsheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Qi Zhiyuan who was a little cramped, "Zhiyuan, there is no vegetable growing at home."

"How to plant this day?" Qi Zhiyuan looked at him in confusion when he heard this.

It seems that Ni'er is devoted to laying in the salt field and has no time to teach him.

"Zhiyuan, you have many houses in your county government. You grow vegetables in the house in winter." Chu Jiu immediately said when he heard this.

"In the house?" Qi Zhiyuan looked at him in disbelief.

"Growing garlic sprouts, spinach, and leeks, these are easy to survive. Let you be the side dish, but there is a green dish, but you are not the main dish." Chu Jiu looked at him with a gentle face and said.

"Yes!" Qi Zhiyuan stood up and replied loudly with his hands clasped his fists, muttering to himself, "It seems that there is thick soil covered in the house?"

"No, no!" Chu Jiu said enthusiastically, "Just fill the basket with soil. If you are afraid of less, make it into a shelf, like a bookshelves, one by one, and put a few more layers." Chu Jiu kept gesturing with his fingers, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Qi Zhiyuan nodded in a hurry and responded.

"Hurry and remove these empty dishes and add tea to relieve the greasiness." Xu Wendong pointed at the dishes on the table, and reminded him with concern, "Don't have group tea, clear tea, clear tea."

"Yes, yes! Immediately, right away." Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly called someone in, packed the round table, and put on tea.

After a busy work, Qi Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "The official is leaving."

"Stay, stay, sit down and listen." Chu Jiu said, pointing to the chair on his right hand.

Qi Zhiyuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and sat on the ring chair.

Xu Wendong lowered his eyes and thoughts turned around. My elder brother kept singing opposite to him today. What are the meanings!

Why do you praise Qi Zhiyuan everywhere, just a small magistrate?

Yao Changsheng put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Chu Jiudao, who was sitting in the main seat. "The story in "Guanzi" is easy to understand, but it involves a lot of content. Sometimes money is worthless, and sometimes money is short of money on the market. The price of goods and the amount of market existence, taxes, and the court needs to take action..."

"Wait... you said the same thing, we can't digest it for the time being." Chu Jiu stopped Yao Changsheng and said.

Yao Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "Master, these are some of my simple opinions, one's own words, let's discuss them!"

"Don't be humble, say, say, say," Chu Jiu pointed his index finger and urged him.

Yao Changsheng raised his index finger and looked at them, "The Qi State under Guan Zhong's rule did not rely on military means to call the world, so what means did it rely on? The answer is: economic means!" After pausing, he said, "It is what Sima Qian said: Guanzi sets up nine palaces and practices Yi Yin's art, and then Duke Huan will dominate the world." Looking at the ignorant Chu Jiu, Yao Changsheng bit his lower lip and said, "Duke Huan of Qi wants to fight for hegemony, then Lu is the first obstacle, and directly fights in close combat, and each has its own victory or defeat. No matter the outcome, the war will kill people, especially the sacrifices are all the strong laborers. We know how miserable it is when the strong laborers are beaten. Bai Qi of Qin killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers in Zhao, and Zhao has never recovered from then on."

"The major event of the country lies in sacrifices and military affairs." Yao Changsheng said with admiration with his eyes full of stars, "Guan Zi can be called a true benevolent person, which is the reason given by Saint Kong: Duke Huan combined with the princes nine times, and did not use military chariots, which was the power of Guan Zhong."

"It's just that you rely on money, money, and economics, without relying on military means." Chu Jiu said with a nude voice after hearing this.

"Yes! It's written in "Guanzi"! Do you simply rely on what Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, called "Great Trust and Great Righteousness"?" Yao Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at them and said, "Looking at the reality, you will know how unreliable it is."

Yao Changsheng said slowly, "Kill Lu and let Duke Huan of Qi use Lu's specialty party to make clothes. He is the king of Qi, and he works from the top and the bottom. Guan Zhong really figured out people's hearts. Then he ordered the people of Qi not to weave the party themselves, and they had to buy the party. So Duke Huan swayed everywhere in the clothes made by the party. The people of Qi rushed to buy the party to follow suit. Guan Zhong asked the merchants of Lu to sell the party to Qi, and the price of one thousand pieces of gold is 300 kilograms of gold and ten thousand pieces of three thousand pieces of horses. Lu made a lot of money by selling this. The king of Lu didn't have to collect taxes on the people, and the treasury was very rich. Thirteen months later, Guan Zhong sent a scout to Lu to investigate,
