"So? Who will be in the world in the future? Baekyu asked.

"This? It's hard to say! The young Zhuangzi said very seriously.

"I think! The world may return to Chu or Qi in the future, especially Chu. ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhuangzi took a different view.

"Although the Qin State has become strong under Wei Ying's changes, it may be chaotic at any time. Once the reform failed or was abandoned halfway, the Qin state was in danger of retreating or perishing. So! The future of the Qin state is still unknown. And the state of Chu! The land area is large, the population is large, the people are mild, and the people are industrious and steadfast. ”

"What the future of the Qin State will be, we can't predict. But Chu State! I'm not optimistic! Of course! The world is unpredictable, what will happen to the future Chu country? Isn't it? Judging from the current king and the previous situation, it is impossible for the Chu State to dominate the world, and it is impossible to dominate the world. But! ”

Zhuangzi emphasized: "But! If the next king of Chu has that talent, not the current king, it is not impossible for Chu to dominate the world! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The world is unpredictable! It is not known who killed the deer. ”

Hearing Zhuangzi say this, Bai Gui said with the same feeling: "The current king of Chu is good in expanding his territory and governing the country. In terms of heirs, can there be a good successor? If the next generation of kings is incompetent, everything that the current king of Chu has done will be in vain. ”

"Yes! The current king is not immortal! He's going to die. If there is no good heir after death, all his efforts will be in vain. Zhuangzi replied.

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

"Actually! The same goes for the Qin State! During the Qin Dynasty, there was a Wei Martingale reform. But it's impossible for Duke Qin not to die? What if after the death of Duke Qin, the new monarch does not reuse Wei Ying? Isn't it? So! All the efforts of the current Duke of Qin have been in vain. ”

"So? What about the State of Wei? Bai Gui said tentatively.

"Wei State?" Zhuangzi shook his head and sighed: "Although Wei Jun is very good at expanding the territory. However, the land area of Wei is small and the population is not large, and I heard that Wei Jun did not listen to advice, and did not know how to recuperate, so he fought again and again. So! Sooner or later, the Wei State will collapse.

Furthermore! Wei Jun's hegemony offended the kings of the world, and the Wei State was going to perish sooner or later. Of course! After the death of the current Wei Jun, if he is replaced by a capable Jun, everything will not be said again. ”

"So? What about Qi State? Baekyu asked again.

Bai Gui was very satisfied with Zhuangzi's answer. Coincidentally, he thinks so too.

"Qi Guo?" Zhuangzi shook his head again and said, "I don't know much about Qi Guo, so I can't just evaluate it. ”

"Qi Jun of Qi State, although he is very young, he is still very strategic, I am optimistic about him."

Bai Gui told Zhuangzi the story of "a blockbuster" and "soaring into the sky".

"Chun Yu is talented, but he has a 'bad mouth', he is a famous stinky mouth, speaks straight, and doesn't care about other people's feelings, so he offends a lot of people. He was a talented but unliked man. In this way, people are all reused in the current Qi Jun. Visible! Qi Jun attaches great importance to talents. As long as you are talented, everyone dares to use it! He's Mingjun! ”

"Oh?" Zhuangzi listened and nodded seriously.

From the time Bai Gui saw Zhuangzi, he rarely saw Zhuangzi laughing.

Zhuangzi was a very cautious person and did not smile.

"And! I have to mention the 'Jixia School Palace' of Qi State. Jixia School Palace is a gathering place for talents! Just like the Mojia branch altar in Song Guomeng County back then, there were tens of thousands of talented people from the Great Zhou world......"

"Jixia Academy?" Zhuangzi asked in surprise.

For the major events in the world, he, a person who has just come out of the mountain, knows very little. In front of Bai Gui, a merchant who traveled between the various vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhuangzi was even more idiot.

"The Jixia School Palace is a university hall! It was opened during the reign of Duke Qi Huan, and in the year after you left with your master, Duke Qi Huan did a very far-sighted event for the Qi State in his later years, opening the Jixia School Palace.

In order to recruit talents to go to their Qi country, anyone who goes to the Jixia School Palace to give a lecture will give you a certain reward according to the number of disciples who listen to the class! The more students who listen to your lectures, the more Mr. will be paid.

And also! All students who go to the Jixia School Palace to listen to classes, as long as the husband signs for you, you can live in the husband's house, and all the expenses are paid by the Qi State Treasury!

Under such circumstances, all the talented people in the world go there, as long as they find a gentleman to worship under the door, they will have no worries about food and clothing. So! Attracting talents from all over the world, only if you have travel expenses, you can go to Qi country, you can not only study for free with Mr., but also have no worries about food and clothing.

The world's cold people who do not want to go. If it emerges there and is reused by the Qi State, what a good thing it would be!

The point is! You must have a certain amount of land before you can learn, and when you arrive at the Jixia School Palace, you must have a gentleman to accept you as a student......"

"Ahh Seemingly! Qi also has the possibility of being developed! My Zhuang Zhou is really lonely and unheard! Zhuangzi honestly admitted.

He knows too little about the world's major events.

When they were in the Qin State, Wei Ying and Qin Xiaogong were very busy and rarely met. Even when we met, we all listened to him. Furthermore! It is to talk about the affairs of the Qin State. Although the world's major events are also discussed, they cannot be talked about at all.

So! He didn't know much about Qi Guo's affairs.

"So! I think! There is still the possibility that Qi will dominate the world! ”

"That's right! Where there are talents, there are opportunities for development. ”

"Yes! Where there are talents, there is the possibility of development! Bai Gui responded: "It's a pity! Song! Back then, so many talented people in the world went to pursue Yu Huali and Yang Zhu, and when they arrived at the Mengdi Mojia branch of the Song Kingdom, the high-level leaders of the Song Kingdom only knew how to seize power, but they didn't know how to retain talents! Alas! ”

Thinking of the events of that year, Bai Gui sighed.

At that time, when the Mohists had not yet fought a decisive battle with the Taoists, the Mohists were the first school of university theory in the world, gathering talents from all over the world. It's a pity! In the period of Bird Slippery, it was controlled by the cheetah team of Qi State. Under the covert control of the Qi State Cheetah Team, he fought a decisive battle with the Taoists.

Outcome! The Mo family was defeated, and the Taoists also suffered heavy casualties. Both sides lose, and Confucianism regains market share.

After the Taoist Yang Zhu lectured on Taoism, he took Zhuangzi to seclusion. The rest of the talents, Song Guo did not retain, but they were robbed by Qi State.

Qi Huangong of Qi realized the importance of talents, so he opened the Jixia School Palace, and basically took over all these talents.

Listening to Bai Gui talk about the Jixia School Palace of the Qi Kingdom, Zhuangzi bowed his head and fell silent. No! It's contemplation, deep thought.

He thought that the future of the Qin State was okay, because the Qin State was on the right path. But? The domestic situation in the Qin State made him particularly worried. And Qi country! has gathered so many talents, if Qi Jun really reuses talents so much, the rise of Qi is just around the corner.
