Chapter 11: Seeking Talent

Tian Fazhang laughed loudly when he heard this: "What Jian'er said is extremely beautiful, but it is a lie when you look closely, and no matter how difficult it is to find such talents as Shang Ying, Wu Qi, and Sun Bin, it is Zhang Yi, Su Qin and other people who are also in the sea of people, it is rare to see, Meng Weijun used to raise 3,000 soldiers, but when it came to the time of crisis, there were only a dozen people to help him." ”

Tian Jian smiled when he heard this, and said, "Father's words are wrong. There are many good talents in the world, Mencius once said: Shun is in the acre, Fu said to be lifted between the plates, the rubber is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is lifted in the scholar, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and the hundred miles are lifted in the city. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Zhang Yi a few decades ago, that Zhang Yi, when he was not Qin Xiang, was just a thief who stole the jade wall, who knew him in the world at that time, so there were many virtuous people, but whether his father could find him and use him, those who got virtuous people won the world, Wei Wenhou got Wu Qi, so he dominated the countries, I got Sun Bin from King Wei, and defeated Wei in the Battle of Guiling, so Qi is the Eastern Emperor! ”

What is most important in the 21st century is talent. Don't you see, the United States got Einstein, took the lead in developing the atomic bomb, and became the world hegemon after World War II.

In this era of BC, talent is also very important, without Lin Xiangru, King Zhao Huiwen may still be in the prison of Qin State and King Huai of Chu to starve to death in prison, Qin State does not have Fan Ju's strategy of distant friendship and close attack, with the character of being an enemy everywhere, sooner or later, like Wei, everyone will fight, and it is impossible to wait until Qin Shi Huang unifies the world.

Tian Fazhang's eyes lit up when he heard that Qi was the Eastern Emperor, but it was dimmed again, at this time, the Qi State was no longer the Eastern Emperor who could remnant Yan and swallow the Song Dynasty, but became a weak country that Zhao State could fight the autumn wind at any time, when Zhao Yafu (Zhao Wuling King) destroyed Zhongshan, he had to look at Qi State carefully, afraid that Qi State would send troops to hinder him.

He sighed and said: "Jian'er's meaning is understandable, in the past, King Yan Zhao could still buy horse bones for thousands of miles and build a golden platform, now my Qi country is why not, the widow's will, send an order to Qi and even the nations, my Qi country is willing to sincerely recruit wise men and strengthen my Qi country." ”

After speaking, Tian Jian said: "The child is willing to write a recruitment order for his father." ”

After speaking, Tian Jian walked to Tian Fazhang's side, pinched the brush lightly with his right hand, and wrote: Xi Yizhi and Fu said that they were sluts, Guan Zhong, and Huan Gong thieves were all used for fun. Baili Xi, a slave, bears the name of humiliation, has the shame of laughing, and can achieve the royal industry, and the voice has been for thousands of years. Wu Qi was greedy, killed his wife and was confident, scattered gold to seek officials, and his mother died and did not return, but in Wei, the Qin people did not dare to go east, and in Chu, the three Jin did not dare to seek south. Today, there are no virtuous people among the people, and they are brave enough to fight against the enemy; If the civil and vulgar officials are highly talented and heterogeneous, they may be worthy of guarding; In the name of humiliation, laughter, or unkindness and filial piety, there is a skill in governing the country and using soldiers: what they know is not forgotten.

After a long time, Tian Jian gently picked up the bamboo slip with his hand, dried it with his mouth, and presented it to Tian Fazhang.

Tian Fazhang turned out to be Tian Jian's bamboo slips, look at it carefully, when I first saw it, I couldn't help but be happy, the more I looked at it, the happier I was, after reading it, I shouted: "Cai! Color! Color! My son's order to seek talent this time is no less than the order of Qin Xiaogong! ”

Tian Jian's face was expressionless, and he replied: "Father praised it falsely, Jian'er is just a casual pen!" ”

In fact, Tian Jian was ashamed in his heart, this order was copied from Cao Cao, and I don't know what will happen to Cao Cao in later generations. But it's none of his business.

Qi Linzi Market, a wine house.

A big man, wearing a leather jacket and holding two pheasants in his hands, walked into the wine house, slapped the pheasants on the wine table, and said, "Boss, come to two jars of Zhao wine." ”

The big man was chewing on the cooked beef in his mouth and listening to the chatter of the people around him.

Suddenly, I heard a scholar say: "Two days ago, did you hear the recruitment orders of the king's orders from all over the world?" ”

"I heard that this recruitment order came from the hand of the prince of the East Palace, and it was written: Today, people who have no virtue are placed among the people, and they are brave and brave to fight against the enemy; If the civil and vulgar officials are highly talented and heterogeneous, they may be worthy of guarding; In the name of humiliation, laughter, or unkindness and filial piety, there is a skill in governing the country and using soldiers: what they know is not forgotten. Sure enough, it was exciting to hear, and I decided that I would go to the East Palace tomorrow to ask to see the prince and strengthen my mother country. A gentleman replied.

"That's a great word! We are all people of the Qi country, now my king, the prince is virtuous, and if we want to strengthen the mother country, why don't we return to the mother country with a three-foot meager body, not only what we have learned can be used, but also all our pure hearts. Another soldier shouted.

"Color! Color! Color! The crowd shouted.

The big man stopped drinking, walked straight to the scholars, and asked, "Is it true that you just said?" ”

A scholar was stunned: "Of course it's true. Whether you are from Qi or not, I have never heard of this. ”

The big man said with a ruddy face: "In Xia Meng Ao, I have always been familiar with the formation of the art of war, because I am not appreciated by the nobles in the Qi country, so I want to go to the Qin country to show what I have learned in my chest, but unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the prince actually issued a meritocracy order, can you take me, I am willing to go to the meritocracy order to repay the mother country." ”

The scholar said: "Fortunately, you didn't go to the Qin country, how can the Qin country be as good as the mother country, no matter how good the country is, it is someone else's, I will be born as a Qi person, and I will always be a Qi person." ”

"Color! Color! Color! Forever for the people! The men shouted.

(I thought that Meng Ao went to Qin, not only because of Qin's military system, but also partly because it was difficult for Qin to fight with Qi, and he had never fought with Qi in his life, so Meng Ao should also be a patriot)

Zhao Guo Handan.

The convoy from Linzi of Qi finally arrived in Handan, Mao Sui's face was full of dust, and his white sleeves were a little gray.

Suddenly, he heard a scholar of Zhao Guo say: "The King of Qi has issued an order to seek talents, I don't know if we will go." ”

When Mao Sui heard this, he was immediately interested, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the place where the scholars were discussing.

"The recruitment order says: Today, there are no virtuous people in the people, and they are brave and brave to fight against the enemy; If the civil and vulgar officials are highly talented and heterogeneous, they may be worthy of guarding; In the name of humiliation, laughter, or unkindness and filial piety, there is a skill in governing the country and using soldiers: what they know is not forgotten. We are all depressed people, why not go to Qi country, one can recommend themselves, show their talents, and the other can go to Jixia School Palace to study. A scholar said.

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! The scholars said.

After Mao Sui heard this, he felt a lot of emotion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a virtuous gentleman, after listening, he walked back, and shouted in his mouth: "Only talent moves!" ”
