Guan zhong.

From "Guanzi": husband is the land of overlord, and it is also people-oriented. The reason is that the country is solid and chaos is dangerous.

Guan Zi, compiled by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty, collected and sorted out many thoughts and opinions of Guan Zhong, and recorded Guan Zhong's remarks on Qi Huangong's statement of his overlord career.

Guan Zhong (about 723 BC-645 BC), surnamed Ji, Guan Shi, Yi Wu, Zhong Zi, Shi Jing, a representative figure of Legalism in the Spring and Autumn Period [1], was born in Yingshang (now Yingshang, Anhui, or the upper reaches of Dengfeng River in Zhengzhou) and descended from Zhou Muwang. He was a famous economist, philosopher, politician and strategist in ancient China. Known as "the pioneer of Legalism", "the teacher of saints", "the protector of Chinese civilization" and "the first phase of China".

In the thirty-third year of Gong (698 BC), Guan Zhong began to assist Gong Zijiu. In the first year of Qi Huangong (685 BC), Guan Zhong was appointed as Qi Xianggong. Guan Zhong vigorously reformed during his tenure, that is, Guan Zhong's reform made Qiang Bing rich. In the forty-first year of Qi Huangong (645 BC), Guan Zhong died of illness.
