The old saying "Jiang Taigong fishes-he who wishes takes the bait" is believed to be a well-known saying in China. Especially after TV's "Romance of Gods" was broadcast, everyone understood this old saying better. The TV series deified Jiang Taigong, but in fact, it was not that bad in history, and he would not be a ghost. But why can old Jiang Taigong be used by Zhou Wenwang?
Actually, there are allusions. It is recorded in history that one day Zhou Wenwang calculated a divination for himself when he went out for sightseeing. When visiting Wei River, you will meet a hermit who will help you and make your country rich and strong. Coincidentally, Jiang Taigong was just fishing by the river that day. Zhou Wenwang was surprised that the old man was fishing without bait, so Zhou Wenwang came forward to communicate. In the process of communication, Zhou Wenwang deeply conquered Jiang Taigong's knowledge and talent, and associated with his own divination, he felt that the hidden sage mentioned in the divination was the old man in front of him, so he asked him to come out to help himself.
History has proved that Zhou Wenwang has an excellent vision. During Jiang Taigong's assistance to Zhou Wenwang, Jiang Taigong formulated a series of policies that are beneficial to strengthening the country: economically, it focused on the development of industry and commerce, supplemented by agriculture, so that ordinary people have the opportunity to work, eat and drink, thus promoting economic development and making the treasury rich. Politically, Jiang Taigong suggested that Zhou Wenwang pay attention to talents, encourage everyone to recommend themselves, and gradually appoint good officials who love the country and love the people. Thereby promoting the development of the country's prosperity. In diplomacy, Zhou Wang was paralyzed by deference, secretly winning over neighboring countries, and gradually wooing and uniting other small countries to weaken and isolate the Shang Dynasty.
Therefore, under Jiang Taigong's plan, the situation of "three points in the world, and the second one belongs to Zhou" appeared in the world, thus laying the foundation for the elimination of Zhou Wang. Although it is said in history that they met because of divinatory symbols, I think the most important reason is that Jiang Taigong is capable of great talents, without papers or martial arts, and he is the originator of military strategy, from the art of emperors to the art of strategy and politics, which is unprecedented. Therefore, there are such beautiful talks as corporal Zhou Wenwang and reusing Jiang Taigong.
