Huan Gong said, "How many digits are audible?" The pipe said to him, "the things on the ground are 28 thousand Li, and the things in the north and south are 26 thousand Li." Its water is 8,000 Li, water is 8,000 Li, Tongshan is 467, and Tieshan is 3,699. The reason why we divide the soil, trees and valleys like this is because we made spears and knives. There are more able people than able people. Mount Tai, Fu Liang and Zen yield 72 kings, and the gains and losses are all here. It means national use. " Huan Gong said, "What do you mean, gain and loss are here?" Guan said to him, "In the past, people were arrogant and inadequate. This soup is 70 miles thin, which is more than enough to use. Heaven is not only for soup and rain, but also for the land. Yi Yin is good at shifting gears, weighing, opening and closing, and setting plugs. It takes time to sit up. The yellow emperor asked:' if I want to be a family in the world, why should I have a way?' Gao Bo said to him, "Please cut it off and plant it." . I want to escape from its fleas so that the world can become a family. The yellow emperor said,' can you smell this if you say it?' There are cinnabar and gold, there are kindred stones, there are copper and gold, there are lingshi and lead, tin and copper, there are ochre and iron bottom, and those who are proud of this mountain are also. If you see the glory of Goushan, seal it and sacrifice it. Make an altar ten miles away from India, which will make riders fall and walkers rush. If you disobey orders, you will die. However, it is far from folded. "After ten years of teaching, Gru Mountain emerged from the water and gold came out from the inside. Chiyou thought that sword, armor, spear and halberd were nine princes, one old and one young. The fox mountain rises from the water, followed by gold. Chiyou, influenced by it, thinks that Ji and Riggs of the fox are twelve princes, one old and one young. Therefore, in a rage, the king of the world fell to the ground and died. This is the foundation of Ge. "

Huan Gong said, "Can you talk about the financial management method based on geographical conditions?" Guan Zhong said, "It is 28,000 li wide from east to west and 26,000 li long from north to south. Among them, there are 8000 miles of mountains and 8000 miles of rivers, 467 copper mines and 609 iron mines. These are the conditions for people to grow food alone, and they are also the original sources of weapons and coins. Those who make good use of these conditions have more than enough money; Those who are not good at using it are short of money. In ancient and modern times, the 72-generation monarch who sealed Mount Tai and the father of Zen beam all gained and lost. This is called national finance. " Huan Gong said, "Why do you say that this is the way to gain and lose?" Guan Zhong replied, "Once upon a time, Xia Liang ruled the world, but its wealth was insufficient. Shang Tang has only 70 miles of "thin" land, but its wealth is more than enough. It's not that the day is dedicated to reducing grain for shopping malls, nor is it dedicated to increasing wealth for Shang Tang. It is because Yi Yin is good at business exchange, politics, and the opening and closing of the state-controlled economy, and Yi Yin is also good at price level and priority policy to centrally manipulate these conditions. A long time ago, the Yellow Emperor once asked Gao Bo, "I want to combine the world into a family. "Is there any way," Gao Bo replied, "please clear weeds in mines all over the country and set up state-owned signs. We will do our best to eliminate armed forces everywhere and make the world a whole. The yellow emperor said,' can this inspiration be discussed again?' Gao Bo replied:' There are gold mines on the surface of the mountain, copper mines on the surface of Ci Shi, lead, tin and copper on the surface of Shilin, and iron mines on the surface of Songkhla. These are the conditions for mine seedlings on the mountain. If seedlings are found in the mountains, the monarch should strictly order the mountain to be closed and arrange sacrifices. Build an altar ten miles away from the mountain, so that people who come by car can get off and walk there quickly. Those who disobey orders will die. So people will not dare to mine at will. "However, in the tenth year, the Yellow Emperor issued this ban. After the flash flood in Gelushan Mountain, the metal ore was exposed, but Chiyou took over the control. Chiyou made swords, needles, spears and halberds, and this year, there was a merger war with nine vassal States. After the flash floods in Hu Yong, the metal mine was exposed, and Chiyou took over and controlled it. Chiyou made the famous Ji and Ge, and this year there was a merger war with twelve vassal States. As a result, the monarchs of all countries in the world are angry, forming a situation of corpses everywhere. The result of this dispersion of mineral rights is simply the root cause of war. "

Duke Huan asked Guan, "Excuse me, where did the natural materials come from?"? Where is the geographical location? " The pipe said to him, "There is ochre on the mountain, iron under the mountain, lead on the mountain and silver under the mountain. One said,' Those with lead on top have silver, those with cinnabar on top have gold, and those with Ci Shi on top have copper and gold.' This mountain is also an honor. Those who see glory in Goushan are forbidden to seal it. Those who move and close the mountain will die without forgiveness. Violators, left foot in, left foot broken; Right foot in, right foot out. However, it is far from a crime. This is the advantage of natural resources and geography. Duke Huan asked Guan Zi, "Who has made great contributions to the world by virtue of his natural wealth and geographical advantages?" Guan said to him, "Wenwu is right, too." Qi Huangong said, "What do you mean? The pipe said to him, "Fuyu starts from the side mountain of Niujia, gold starts from your right, and pearls start from the twilight of Akano." It's 7800 miles from Zhou, so it's far and difficult to draw. Therefore, the kings of the previous dynasties paid attention to their own importance, with pearls and jade as the upper currency, gold as the middle currency and knife cloth as the lower currency. Illness makes gold heavy, and Xu makes gold light. One is to use the power of the king to make his orders, and then to compete with coins and make them useful, so the civil and military are also. "

Duke Huan asked Guan Zhong, "Please tell me more about where natural resources come from? Where is the underground wealth? " Guan Zhong replied: "On the mountain, there are iron mines under Songkhla and silver mines under lead. Another way of saying it is:' the surface with lead has main silver, the surface with cinnabar has gold, and the surface with thorn history has copper.' These are all the situations in which mine seedlings appear on the mountain. If young plants are found in the mountains, the state should strictly close the mountains and prohibit people from entering or leaving. Destroying the mountain closure is a capital crime. If there is a crime, the left foot intervenes and cuts off the left foot; One foot is there and the other foot is cutting. So people will not dare to violate the ban. Because this is where the wealth and resources of heaven and earth lie. "Huan Gong asked Guan Zhong again:" Who has made contributions to the world by using the financial resources of heaven and earth? "Guan Zhong replied," Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang. " Huan Gong said, "What does this mean? Guan Zhong replied, "Jade is produced in the side mountain of Niujia, gold is produced in the right depression area of Ruhe Hanshui River, and pearls are produced in the twilight city of Akano. These eastern and western parts are 7800 miles away from the center of the Zhou Dynasty, which is a long way and inaccessible. Therefore, the former king distinguished their preciousness, and stipulated that pearls and jade were the first-class currencies, gold was the middle currency, and knives and cloth were the second-class currencies. Urgent orders placed by the state will lead to an increase in the price of gold, while slow orders will lead to a decrease in the price of gold. The first king was able to consider the priority of order, adjust the price of gold, and control the role of coin knives and coins, namely Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang. "

Duke Huan asked Guan Zi: "I want to keep the national wealth without paying taxes to the world, but what about external factors?" The pipe said to him, "Yes. The husband's water is excited and flows through the canal, making him seriously ill. Ji Xu, the first king to follow his orders, left the country's wealth at home and the world abroad. " Duke Huan asked Guan, "What can he do?" Guan Zi said to him, "The former husband, Prince Wu, has as many millet as a giant bridge." Huan Gong said, "Why?" Guan said to him, "The King of Wu put Zhongquan on the defensive and told him to say,' The people should be self-sufficient.' The millet that the people raise the most is to avoid the heavy spring defense, while the millet in Guogu is 200 times, and the millet in Giant Bridge is 200 times. The prince of Wu is worth twice as much as the giant bridge millet, and the army has no clothes for the people at the age of five. Spend millions of dollars twice as much as the giant bridge millet, and have no citizenship for life. The number of quasi-scales is also Duke Huan asked Guan, "Can you do it today?" "The pipe said to him," Yes. Fu Chu has the gold of Confucianism and Han Dynasty, Qi has the salt of canal exhibition, and Yan has the cooking of Liaodong. These three can also be used as the number of military kings. Family of ten, family of 100, family of 100. Where is the salt? In January, the husband lost half five liters, the wife lost half three liters, and the baby lost half two liters. When the salt is heavy, the consumption will increase by 50, 100 and 1000. Jun cut the water into salt, which accumulated 30 thousand. Please get it in spring. "Huan Gong said," What is the origin of time? " Guan Zi said, "Spring ploughing is the only way to make people build walls and tombs; Husband can't rule the palace, can't stand up; Beihai people can't get together to cook salt. However, salt is four times as much as salt. You four are the best, building rivers to help the poor and transporting them to Liang, Zhao, Song, Wei and Puyang in the south. Bad food will swell without salt. Salt is the only thing that can be used. You reduce your salary and boil water to learn from the world, but the world does not decrease. "

Huan Gong said to Guan Zhong, "I want to keep the domestic resources, not let the countries around the world fish for them, but take them from abroad, ok?" Guan Zhong replied: "Yes. As soon as the water surges, the water flow surges, and when the order is placed, the price will rise. The first king mastered the priorities of the order, leaving the national wealth at home and taking it from the world abroad. " Huan Gong continued to ask Guan Zhong, "How did they do it?" Guan Zhong replied: "In the past, King Wu once raised the grain price of the giant bridge warehouse." Huan Gong said, "What is the method?" Guan Zhong replied: "King Wu deliberately set up a kind of military service to worship the spring, and ordered:" Anyone who stores 100 barrels of grain at home can be exempted from this military service. The people tried their best to buy food to avoid this kind of military service, so that the domestic food price rose by 20 times, and the food price in the giant bridge warehouse was also 20 times more expensive. King Wu used 20 times the grain income of this giant bridge warehouse to buy silk, and the army could not collect uniforms from the people for five years; If you use this income to buy 1 million Jin of gold, you can avoid collecting taxes from the people for life. This is the financial management method of' quasi-balance'. " Huan Gong then asked, "Can we do the same thing now? "Guan Zhong replied," Yes. Chu has Confucianism and Han dynasty to produce gold, Qi has Qu Zhan to produce salt, Yan has Liaodong to cook salt. The application of these three can also be equated with the financial management methods of King Wu. Ten people in a family of ten eat salt, and one hundred people in a family of 100 eat salt. As for the amount of salt eaten, it is nearly five liters per month for adult males, three liters for adult females and two liters for children. If the price of salt rises by half a dollar per liter, it will rise by fifty dollars per pot; One yuan per liter, one hundred yuan per pot; Ten dollars per liter, and every pot is dry money. If your majesty orders chopping wood and cooking salt, he can receive 30 thousand yuan, and he can get income from the' current price' of salt in the spring. Huan Gong said, "What is the salt price income now? Guan Zhong replied: "At the beginning of farming in Yangchun, people were ordered not to build walls and tombs, and doctors were not allowed to build palace trees. At the same time, Beihai residents were also ordered not to hire people to cook salt. Then, the price of salt is bound to rise forty times. Your Majesty took advantage of this 40-fold increase in salt price to sell it to Liang, Zhao, Song, Wei and Puyang in the south along the Yellow River and Jishui River Basin. Eating coarse grains without salt makes people bloated, so it is particularly important to protect the country with salt. Your majesty earns his income by chopping wood and cooking salt in the world, then the world can't weaken us. "

Duke Huan asked Guan Zi, "I want to be rich in capital and food, but what?" The pipe said to him, "Impossible. If the husband is rich, the property is numerous, but he can't keep it, then the tax will be exhausted; The grain is abundant, the money is huge and the world is expensive, then the tax is in the world. However, our people are often captured by the world. If a husband makes good use of himself, he will help the sea and watch the wind with his own body. The world is high, the world is high. If the world is higher than me, then the profits and taxes are in the world. "

Duke Huan asked Guan Zhong, "I wanted to be rich, but I didn't expect high grain yield. Is that okay? " Guan Zhong replied: "No, the country is rich and rich in products. If it can't be managed, it will be caught by all countries in the world." High-yield grain, which is cheap and expensive in other countries, will also be fished by all countries in the world. In this way, our people will become the goal of all countries in the world. People who are good at governing the country are like sailing in the sea and observing the origin of the wind. If food prices are high in all countries, we will be high, and if food prices are low, we will be low. If the food prices in all countries of the world are high and we fight alone, our financial profits will be taken away by all countries of the world. "

Duke Huan asked Guan, "Is that all?" The pipe said to him, "Not yet. The foundation of the husband's temperament is to take the right way, and the wanderer wins the business. People who seek the source will eat my own millet. Because of my local currency, I will try to find gold and go out. Let Ji Xu exist, things will matter, and then the treasures of the world will be used by me. Good people use nothing to make them inhuman. "
Original translation
Duke Huan asked Guan Zhong, "So much for financial management?" Guan Shen replied: "No. Qi is a country located in the main traffic routes, extending in all directions, so it is the only place for tourists and wealthy businessmen. Outsiders come to our country, eat our food, use our coins, and then provide good horses and gold. We should pay close attention to the order and the price slowly, and then all the treasures in the world can be used by us. A good ruler can use things that don't belong to him or serve subjects that don't belong to his jurisdiction. "
