During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi appointed Guan Zhong as the Prime Minister, which not only managed his country well, but also conquered many small vassal states around him, leaving only the State of Chu disobeying the orders of the State of Qi, which became a top priority for the State of Qi to compete for the Central Plains.

Several generals of the State of Qi well-documented to Qi Huangong, demanding to send troops to attack Chu. Guan Zhong shook his head after hearing this. He said to the generals, "If Qi and Chu go to war, both sides will lose. Not only will it exhaust Qi's savings for many years, but the people of Qi and Chu will never have peace. "

People were speechless, waiting for Guan Zhong to come up with a good idea. One day, Guan Zhong took more than 100 businessmen to Chu to buy deer. At that time, deer were rare animals in other countries, only in Chu. But at that time, Chu people only regarded deer as an ordinary food animal, and they could buy one for very little money. Guan Zhong sent businessmen everywhere to threaten that Qi Huangong was good at raising deer and would not hesitate to pay a lot of money for it.

Qi merchants began to buy deer, each with three coppers. After more than ten days, the price increased to five heads.

King Chu Cheng and his ministers were very happy to know. They thought that the state of Qi would soon suffer, and they would lose their country like the king who defended the country and raised cranes ten years ago, so that they could enjoy the success.

Guan Zhong raised the deer price to 40 copper coins. The Chu people heard that the price of a deer can be the same as that of a catty of grain, so they made hunting gear one after another, rushed to the mountains to catch deer, stopped farming, and even the officers and men of Chu secretly went hunting with weapons.

One year, Chu was in great famine and the land was barren, but copper coins piled up into mountains. Later, the Chu people had no food and wanted to buy food with copper coins, but there was nowhere to buy it. Because Guan Zhong has issued an order forbidding any vassal state to trade with Chu and not to sell food to Chu people.

In this way, the Chu army is also hungry, emaciated and ineffective. King Chu Cheng was helpless, so he sent ministers to make peace with Qi, agreed not to separate one side, and promised to accept Qi's orders.

Guan Zhong subdued the State of Chu, which was very powerful, without a single soldier.

Let's take a look at the current situation:

The United States and its accomplices manipulated the property market in China, and the property price was out of reach. The price of a 90-square-meter house is several times higher than the income of 90 acres of land. It's much higher than the price of 90 thousand Jin of wheat! At that time, Chu was a deer that was more expensive than a catty of grain. Now even the edible oil of ordinary people is controlled by the United States. ...

We now have $2 trillion in foreign exchange, and the Chu people also have mountains of copper coins. ...

History is really amazingly similar!
