237 The Significance of a Second Career

In other words, the profession you are engaged in will be integrated into the society in advance, and you will experience life in the society, so that you will have a sense of reality. For example, Li Si of Daqin, who was a small official of the Chu State before, a merchant in the period of filial piety, and a concubine of the Wei State, these experiences are all because they can experience the authenticity of the society and put forward some of their own views on these authenticities. This is also the way they have been able to make some targeted social reforms after taking office. Promote the further development of our Great Qin State. Shang Wen said.

"Sir has a point." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, the significance of this second profession is not in this, but in the fact that public officials will be thoroughly integrated into society without forming a serious social disconnection." Shang Wen said.

"When a person has been in public office for a long time, he or she will slowly withdraw from society, especially the center of power, because they are exposed to the influence of power, not other aspects of life. And so it goes. It is necessary to focus on power, not life, and the lives of ordinary people naturally do not care about the lives of others. And so comes the power struggle. The result of this is the internal division caused by the power struggle, which is very dangerous. ”

And this second profession is to guide this struggle. On top of power, add time limits and guide them back into society. Integration into society. Reintegration into society. What makes them focus is not on the struggle for power, but on life as a whole. Enjoy the joy of life. Shang Wen's straightforward language aroused King Qin's thoughts.

The car soon arrived at the arsenal. King Qin was silent for a long time. was thinking about Shang Wen's words. And Shang Wen followed behind King Qin casually. The meaning of a second career is to reintegrate into society. The reason why there is politics in human society lies in the fact that the focus of social contradictions needs to be resolved in a unified manner. Politics is at the center of this focus. People give this focal point authority, power, to make decisions on justice, power, taxation, and so on.

Public officials are not the same as other professions. The industry is very close to this center of power. A person is easily distracted. Lose the original essence. Such a historical event. Many have happened in China, such as Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, Taizong dared to reform. He is a wise lord, and this is because he has had experiences that others do not have, and if it is a profession, it is a soldier. A high-ranking officer. Familiar with any situation on the battlefield, and at the same time a local official, he can quickly calm the uneasy hearts of the local people. These experiences enabled him to make reforms when he came to power. Because these experiences have benefited him personally. And over time. As the emperor, Li Shimin began to gradually break away from this group. The long-term life in the deep palace makes the understanding of the people's feelings stay in the early stage, and the changes in the new era cannot be detected in time. Observation is the understanding of the outside world before human beings gain thinking, and the king who loses observation will easily make some wrong judgments. This is also one of the reasons for the failure of Li Shimin's politics in the later period.

Compared with the ** system in Europe and the United States, this superiority will be shown. Public officials come from all aspects of society. Doctors, professors, rectors, soldiers, lawyers, farmers, engineers, and much more. These people come from all aspects of society, and although their understanding of society is incomplete and somewhat one-sided, they are closest to life and know what people need most. For example, the price of milk is high and the charges are unreasonable, and the state should impose higher taxes on some wealthy people because they get too many bonuses. And so on, they can easily understand.

After engaging in public office, these can take targeted measures to improve. Instead of detaching from the people, guessing out of thin air. According to the understanding of more than ten years ago, we will improve again. Or maybe they won't find the problem at all.

The time limit, which sets a timetable for them to leave power. This time can't be too short, and it can't be too long. Too long has dependencies. Too short to be effective in a short period of time. When they have done something, they go back into society again. Get back to life and continue to enjoy the fun that life brings.

The king of Qin considered that after engaging in a second career, a large number of generals and civil officials in the Qin state would turn their attention to their careers and pay less attention to national politics. At the same time, they will not be dissatisfied with the upper echelons, and if they are engaged in business production, they can also be properly accommodated, and when the country needs them, they can be recruited in time.

And this coincides with the characteristics of the second profession, that is, to transform talents into sociality, that is, to place a large number of talents in society, rather than simply engaging in politics. So. Talents have been properly trained, and the country can also recruit the talents it needs in a short period of time, and talents are also willing to serve the country. They see it as service, as an obligation, as an honor. It's no longer just about being obsessed with power.

"Good. Mr. Qin's meaning was understood. King Qin said.

"When these people take up a second career, they not only get the joy of life, but they also get something that they can't normally observe. Such a person can rest assured that he can use it. King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, these people should let them invest in setting up factories, these people are all meritorious people, they were originally the pillars of the country's service, and now they are back to the people, and their role should continue to be played. They invest because they have a large amount of capital that the king has bountied. This capital needs to be appreciated. Shang Wen said.

"Value-added?" King Qin asked.

"It's about getting more wealth." Shang Wen said.

"Oh, yes, yes. The widow can give them money, and wealth is for them to get for themselves. Wealth is endless. King Qin said.

"Only through the establishment of factories, can we increase value, at the same time, after the establishment of the factory, a large number of people are needed, after the land annexation, you can get the jobs after the establishment of the factory, so that the loss of manpower can be controlled." Shang Wen said.

"One more point. They can produce a large number of goods, these things, not only can meet the needs of our Great Qin, but also can impact a large number of the six countries, so that the outnumbered people will control the economic lifeline of the six countries in their hands without blood, and the people of the six countries will turn their hearts to Great Qin. It will be providential for the outnumbered to rule the world. King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is that taxes can be levied." Shang Wen said calmly.

"Hahaha. Tax. King Qin laughed and laughed.
