Chapter 288: Don't Call Me Madame, Call Me the Head of the House (Please Book It All)
Chapter 200 Don't call me Mrs., call my master to ask for a full order
Talent is always the most valuable resource.
However, how to prove the value of talents, in addition to real merit and performance, can only rely on fame and praise.
It is the so-called big effect in later generations.
And the big effect is usually through channels to spread the hype.
In ancient times, when there was no interconnection and information was relatively closed, the spread of large effects was spread through the mouths of many merchants who walked around the world.
Because only a merchant can walk in various countries in a proper way.
The reason why Qi was able to become the first overlord country, in addition to the superior geographical location and the close relationship between Jiang Shang and NN Yan Zhaogong, the most important thing is that Qi was the first country to attach importance to commerce.
Guan Zhong can be regarded as the earliest advocate of mercantilism, because Guan Zhong's strategy allowed Qi's salt and iron business to spread throughout the land of China, and at the same time established countless trade routes from Qi to various vassal states, which could not only bring Qi a steady stream of commercial benefits, but more importantly, a source of information.
And in order to retain businessmen from various countries, Guan Zhong also opened Nulu, which is the earliest Qinglou, which not only retains businessmen, but also obtains more intelligence information from the businessmen of various countries.
Therefore, throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the culture, economy, and politics of Qi were ahead of other countries, because of the wide channels of information sources.
The fact that the Jixia School Palace was able to open in the Qi Kingdom was not an accident, but an inevitability.
Later generations summed up LΓΌ Buwei's business model, the land seller is ten times more profitable, the treasure seller is a hundred times more profitable, and the person who sells people is the world.
This truth was not summarized by LΓΌ Buwei, Fan Li and Guan Zhong before LΓΌ Buwei were the real ancestors.
Since Guan Zhong has created a business road to sell goods, he will naturally sell people.
This trafficker is the channel provided by later generations to the network.
And this model is not unique to the Qi State, and then among the vassal states, there are also institutions that specialize in selling talents, and this kind of institution, after the commercial impact of the monopoly of the princes of various countries, changed to another model, that is, the vertical and horizontal families, and cooperated with each other to hype.
But in any case, any talent trafficked by these trafficking agencies usually has a certain value and ability.
And value is a mutual, only by providing value first, can we earn value in the end.
The myth of the empty glove white wolf is just a speculator survivor who deceives fools.
And most of the talents who are eligible to be sold in history are children of the family.
Because first of all, the threshold of being able to access knowledge must be the nobles of the common people, and those who can master knowledge are only the children of the clan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Just like the Three Kingdoms period, the world's talents came out of Yingchuan, and there was a similar saying in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it can be said that the heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period came out of the Song Dynasty.
Although the other vassal states have also produced many great talents, in terms of proportion and influence of achievements, Wei Guo and Song State are two production bases where talents are concentrated.
In the world of nearly a thousand years of great contention, these two countries have sent countless sages and celebrities and contemporary sages to various countries.
Confucius, Mozi, Huizi, Zhuangzi, Songzi, and Song Yu of the Song Kingdom occupied almost half of the academic world in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Li Kui, Wu Qi, Gongsun Ying, LΓΌ Buwei, and Zhong You changed the pattern of the entire Warring States during the Warring States Period.
So when people mention talents, the first thing that comes to mind is these two countries, so as long as these two people come out, as long as they have a name, they can mix a bite of food under the princes of various countries.
This is one of the influences of the big effect, that is, whether there is strength or not, but there is an aura bonus.
The name of Fen Fu is undoubtedly thunderous in the Wei royal family.
It can almost be said that those who are frustrated can get the throne.
So after getting Zhou Shi, who claimed to be Fen Fujun, Wei Ji felt that his whole waist was stiff.
Before, although he was the son of the Wei royal family, he was willing to deign to be under Tian'an, a prince of the Qi Kingdom, because his waist was not hard enough.
Although Wei was not the first country to be destroyed by Qin, because Xinling Jun stole the talisman to save Zhao and forcibly renew the lives of Zhao and Wei, and defeated Qin, Wei's position as the chief enemy in Qin's eyes could not be shaken.
So when the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, did not give the Wei State any respite, even if Wang Ben flooded the Great Liang City, the King of Wei pretended to kneel down and ask for surrender, the Qin State still did not have a trace of softness, the Great Wall was flooded in the Great Liang City for three days, and the people went to sixty percent, and the Wei royal family was all reduced to commoners, leaving only the King of Wei to imprison Xianyang.
It can be said that Qin's brutality in the rectification of Wei surpassed that of Zhao.
Therefore, the entire Wei faction completely collapsed, from the royal family to the common people, almost all of them were cut off, and the son who secretly ran out of the Wei line wandered in various countries, except for the name of a prince of Wei, there was no trace of confidence.
Five years after Korea was destroyed by Qin, there was still a chance to launch a mutiny in Xinzheng, while Wei had only been destroyed for three years, and there was no chance to launch a mutiny.
But now it's different, although Wei Ji has not contacted the remnants of Wei until now, but after getting Fen Fu, Wei Ji has a kind of self-confidence.
After chatting with Zhou Shi for a night, the next day he still stared at the red eyes, and went to Tian An to discuss the matter with great dignity.
After all, he is also a person who has a great assistant.
"It's not the right time for Childe to come, Tian An hasn't come back yet." Xiong Qin hugged Wang Shi in his infancy and said to Wei Qi.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law said that Wang Sun didn't return last night?" Wei Qi was slightly stunned.
"Yes, the self-proclaimed wife of the prince of the little boy still thinks that you have not returned from the banquet together." Xiong Qin looked at Wei Qi with a blank face.
Wei Ji blinked, drank the tea in the cup, and got up to say goodbye, "Since this is the case, I won't bother, if Wang Sun comes back, I will bother my sister-in-law and Mrs. to tell me." β
"Naturally, Childe walks slowly." Xiong Qin got up to see him off, chuckled when he watched Wei Qi leave, and coaxed the baby in his arms to sleep under the jujube tree in the courtyard.
After a while, there was a noise outside, and Tian An's laughter was very obvious.
As if hearing the father's voice, the baby, who was already asleep, began to make noise again.
Before the baby began to cry, Tian An hurriedly pushed the door in, went straight to Xiong Qin, and took his son from her arms to tease.
Xiong Qin frowned slightly, "The smell of stinky sweat and wine all over your body, went to sleep in the wine tank all night?" β
"Hehe, madam, don't blame, this lonely bamboo wine is too strong." Tian An grinned honestly.
Xiong Qin snorted lightly, took out a handkerchief with body temperature from his arms, and wiped Tian An's face after soaking it in the well, "Your face is already white and bloodless, your serious injury has not healed, the doctor told you not to drink Haisai, are you seeking death by yourself?" β
"It's been two months since the skin injury, don't worry about it, madam." Tian Anhan smiled, "But I really didn't sleep too well, so I have to make up for it later." β
"Wei Ji came here not long ago and said that there was something important to discuss." Xiong Qin rolled his eyes at Tian An, and slapped away his hand that went deep into his gauze skirt, "It is also a miserable face, and your eyes are red and sick, you people, since you have come down in comfort, you have been drinking every day and will suffer from this sooner or later!" β
"Madame, don't worry." Tian An smiled, "As a husband, this is also for big things, you know best, how tired I am of wine banquets." β
"That was before, all the people in Linzi were staring at your Wang Sun'an's virtuous name, you dare to drink? I'm terrified when I eat meat, and now, hum. Xiong Qin snorted lightly.
"Hey, hey, don't say that I really forgot, it was really a bleak time that I couldn't look back on, I think I Tian An was born noble, but I haven't eaten meat with an open belly for decades, and I didn't realize it until I arrived in the country of Guzhu." Tian An hugged his son and said with a wry smile: "I can't let my son suffer like this in the future, for the sake of fame." β
Xiong Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Indeed, you must not let your son suffer your idle sin. β
"Hey, hey, of course, it's mainly for the lady to enjoy the glory of the queen, regain the glory of the Xiong family's woman, and be admired by thousands of people." Tian An immediately said with a hippie smile.
"My mouth stinks, go gargle and rest, count on you? It's better to count on my son. Xiong Qin snatched his son with a smile, drove Tian An to the back hall to wash, and then took a maid who followed Tian An to serve all night to question.
Tian An, who had washed up, passed by the front hall, glanced at Xiong Qin, who was asking, shook his head with a smile and lay down on the vine hammock in the backyard, humming a little song and falling asleep.
"It's a poor life." After Xiong Qin finished asking, he saw Tian An, who was sleeping sweetly in the vine hammock naked, frowned slightly, and snorted lightly, turned around and went to the back hall to take out the letter written last night and Tian An's badge, "Come on, go and send this letter to the neighborhood committee, let them take it to Qiancheng, and say that Tian Xiong's family wants to see Qiu's daughter." β
"Tian Xiong's clan?" Qiu Zhu'er was lying on the sofa, looking at the letter in her hand, and then at the medallion, "Who is it?" β
"Madame Hui." Qiu Yi swallowed his saliva, bowed down and replied, "It is the remnants of Qi, the Lady Tian An who is called the grandson of the King of Qi." β
"I have nothing to do with her, what are you looking for me?" Qiu Zhu'er frowned, pulled the tulle on her chest, and then glanced at Qiu Yi, "Don't call me Mrs., call me the head of the family." β
The corners of Qiu's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly.
