The fermentation effect of "Ai Lian Shuo" in Qi State must have been effective, but the Marquis of Qi must have encountered great resistance when he decided to launch the war.
This judgment became even more firm after Li Jie met the officials and merchants of Qi State.
"Dong Guoliang is a genius."
When Cai Guo's "ruler" Cai Mei dug him out, it was a stroke of genius.
People always get a little older, but people become more mature with age. Those who are capable can really shine at any time.
The travelers from Qi State, officials and businessmen and other elites who came to Huaizhong City had all heard of Dong Guoliang and "The Theory of Ai Lian", but no one connected Dong Guo Liang with "The Theory of Ai Lian".
In other words, this Mr. Dong Guo not only did things beautifully and made the old guy Qi Hou feel like his head was glowing green, but he also removed himself without causing any harm.
"How much of a loser does Cai Dong have to be that he doesn't even need such a talented person?"
Especially the photographic memory that Dong Guoliang showed at the beginning was simply frightening.
The amount of text in "Ai Lian Shuo" is already considered a long novel for people of this era. It is amazing to be able to remember it after just scanning it.
There are also people in Commissioner Li's harem who have a photographic memory. For example, Ji Douzi has the ability of "one eye and seven elements". She can memorize the books collected in Huaizhong City just by looking at them.
Of course, this pride was soon "severely beaten". After all, Commissioner Li's "Daily Code of Conduct for Crocodiles" was densely packed with words, and the writing method was still horizontal from left to right, which made Ji Douzi very uncomfortable.
However, this also allowed Li Jie to judge that Ji Douzi's super reading ability and memory were not due to the "picture memory method", but to natural intelligence, that is, a good brain.
But one thing Commissioner Li can be sure of is that no matter how good or smart Ji Douzi is, she will never be reused in Weiguo, Xuguo or anywhere else.
On the contrary, with Mr. Li, as long as he is willing to work, he will definitely pay him a salary and will not lack welfare benefits.
How can we dominate the world if we don't use outstanding talents?
When he was still working as a foreman, his peers spent day and night cheering and encouraging his elites. Why was that?! Is it because they valued talents? No, it was so that they could replace their BMWs with Maybachs next year...
"This Director Cai... is such a waste."
Commissioner Li once again insulted King Cai Guo who was keeping vigil in Gusu from a distance. Mr. Cai's quality was worse than when he was a foreman.
But an insult is an insult, Cai Fu, Cai Fu's sister, still wants to have some fun.
Cai Guo Bai Lianhua is a bit stupid, but with her, that old guy Qi Hou can only be passive.
In order to make huge profits in Wu's territory, the "giants" of Qi's five capitals were all trying to prevent the Marquis of Qi from launching a punitive war.
Whether in the Biyang City area or around Huaizhong City, Qi's officials and businessmen can receive huge rewards.
Even if you are a small official, you can make a lot of money by just doing the talent agency business.
Taking Biyang City as an example, because of the construction system left over from the "Yidanying", the utilization rate of labor has been greatly improved. This has changed the use of labor in civil engineering projects from a simple recruitment to a coexistence of recruitment and employment.
.
The latter is very attractive to countries such as the State of Xi and the State of Ju.
It's just that for these small countries, they could only stay close to them, go to the big countries of Qi or Lu, work as slaves for local wealthy families, and sell off their personal rights for ten or twenty years, so that they could make a living and save some money and food.
Now there is an additional option. The operation system of Qi State's "Nvlu", in addition to platforms such as "Entertainment Clubs, Bathing Centers and Full Massage", also has quite mature labor market channels.
Qi is one of the few countries that has connections in various countries. After all, Qi was the first to dominate, and its heritage cannot be underestimated.
To put it bluntly, when the old Qin people smuggled weapons from Huaizhong City home, they usually did not pretend to be Qin merchants, but Qi merchants.
Therefore, the vests of the Old Qin people in Shandong are often the properties of Qi merchants. The "philistines" in various places do not have many contacts with the Old Qin people, but the Qi people are definitely familiar with their faces.
The advantage of being the first to dominate is still quite obvious these days.
In terms of talent reserves and even talent training, it is not something that late-developing countries can easily catch up with.
When people from Qi go abroad to work part-time, it is in turn regarded as a kind of "commissioned training", using foreign funds to cultivate domestic talents.
Many Qi people are away as guests, and the last choice is to return home and serve as officials. : :
Because the three generations of Qi princes were all expanding, each additional piece of land required the establishment of cities, the construction of roads, and the suppression of Rong and Di. All these things combined would create a large number of official positions.
These officials and nobles did not need the Marquis of Qi to cut their flesh from within. They were originally expansion dividends, so they hit it off with a large number of "opposition" talents. It can be said that they complemented each other.
In the past hundred years, Qi State's progress was interrupted only once, when the old monster from Wu State personally went north and directly trampled Lu State's face under its feet.
Qi State, which wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in Lu State's territory, made good calculations, but its political intentions became a joke in the face of military failure.
The setback of the Marquis of Qi in front of King Wu Wei not only brought Qi's westward expansion policy to a complete halt, but also almost shook Qi's dominant position in the Yellow River estuary area.
The real reason that freed the Marquis of Qi from this kind of political risk would be even more embarrassing if the Marquis of Qi mentioned it himself.
The reason why the area at the mouth of the Yellow River regained stability was because King Wu Wei, an eternal monster, even killed the Jin Kingdom.
After the skill "United as One" was activated, I dare not say that it shocked the Central Plains, but Song, Lu, Wei, Qi and other Jisi countries were all frightened.
In this case, who dares to make trouble?
They were all quietly waiting for King Wu Wei to return home, and then live their lives honestly.
Whoever bothers is the dog!
Defeated by King Wu Wei, and relying on King Wu Wei to stabilize the chaos, the Marquis of Qi, who had been known as a "wise king" for decades, felt depressed and bitter, as you can imagine.
It's just that those who can become the king of Qi are by no means an idle person. After suffering such ups and downs, the one who is still alive now is the Marquis of Qi. As for King Wu Wei, he has already gone to report to Huangquan.
At this time, the Qi State wanted to reverse course and achieve the hegemony of Ji and Si at once. It was true that the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State held their breath for decades of grievances.
However, times have changed.
It's not that the people of Qi don't want to start a war to take advantage of it, but the risk has not been reduced. Furthermore, after the new generation of Qi grows up, there is a huge gap with the generation of the Marquis of Qi.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a gap. The Marquis of Qi wants "hegemony", but for the young people of the new generation, can "hegemony" be used as food? I will open a "bath center" in Biyangcheng and earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
, can your "hegemony" of the Marquis of Qi enable me to earn over ten thousand a month?
The resistance of the middle and lower nobles to the Marquis of Qi was either secretly or directly criticized openly, and they were not afraid that the Marquis of Qi would make things worse.
Because this involves the ruling structure of the Qi State, the young people of the new generation, whose parents used to take advantage of the rapid development of the Qi State, then reaped the dividends of "entering the family".
If you become an official in Qi State and hold an official title, even if you are just a rural scholar, you are still a small wealthy family. It has a very good influence in the local area. It is not difficult to recruit a thousand or eight hundred serf soldiers.
It might be a bit excessive to combine two hundred thousand coalition troops with the same surname and clan, but there are still two to thirty thousand.
Twenty to thirty thousand serf soldiers were enough to make the Marquis of Qi reconsider his decision and see if there was anything wrong with it.
After all, the Marquis of Qi is too old, and the old ministers who followed him back then are almost useless. Now most of the people who ask questions about the Marquis of Qi in the court are the descendants of the old ministers, which means there is a gap in seniority.
There is no experience of "sharing joys and sorrows", and there is not even the experience of starting a business together, so how can we inspire resonance?
The sentiment of "the master humiliates his ministers to death" is still there among the old ministers of the time. The humiliation and aggrievement suffered by their own masters is definitely felt by them.
As for the new generation, they have never experienced the fear of being dominated by the old monster Gouchen. How could they offer their hearts to a bad old man who clamored for revenge?
Not only did he not offer up his heart, but he also did not offer up the heart of the Marquis of Qi, which was considered quite conscientious.
You must know that after Li Jie met with Qi officials and merchants, he only agreed to the exclusive rights to Zishui for a few products. These Qi officials and merchants came close to revealing all the details of Linzi's new capital.
According to Li Jie's initial understanding of the situation, the Marquis of Qi, forced by the opposition of the local township officials and scholar class, shifted the target of the punishment war from Li Jie to the north.
This made Commissioner Li feel that Qi Hou's operation was really fantastic.
