If everything in the world is compared to a game of Go, then in the Warring States period there are only a handful of people who can play on this chessboard, in the history of Zhao Jie's previous life, in the end, the first emperor Yingzheng defeated all the opponents and became the ultimate winner. In this life, due to Zhao Jie's accidental intrusion and the prospect of becoming a chess player, this chess game is not over yet, and the outcome is still unknown. Zhao Jie has self-knowledge, he clearly knows that although his intelligence is not mediocre, but not the most outstanding, but as a chess player, he naturally wants to win this game of chess, Zhao Jie found a suitable method for himself: although I am not the strongest, but I have the wisdom of this thousand years, others will make up for the next move, I will lose a few more pieces, to make up for the clumsiness, to win more, or in advance on the chessboard to drop a few pieces, in advance to seize the advantage.

The paper mill is an important part of Zhao Jie's life struggle, and it is also an important chess piece for Zhao Jie to change history in advance. Zhao Jie's current plan is to open paper mills all over Kyushu and monopolize the production and sales of paper all over the world, on the one hand, to collect money to supply his future development. As the saying goes, "Money is not everything, but no money is everything." Zhao Jie knew that if he wanted to change history and save Zhao, he must change the contrast between Qin and Zhao's national strength, otherwise everything would be in vain, and he would eventually return to the old way of destroying Zhao, and if he wanted to enhance Zhao's national strength, he must carry out a systematic reform of Zhao, and history tells us that for a country, the cost of any development and change is huge, so it is completely necessary for Zhao Jie to complete the original accumulation of funds by selling paper at a high price. On the other hand, Zhao Jie will use the paper mill as a base to establish his own intelligence system to collect information from various countries as the basis for his own judgment. Paper as a fragile and necessary product if it is sold will be popular, paper mills and sales points will be opened to every corner of Kyushu, and so that the information in all corners of the world will be known to Zhao Jie as he wishes, and Zhao Jie will be able to strategize between the curtains, win thousands of miles away, and control the world.

In the long history of human development, for a long time, people did not pay attention to the development of intelligence work and the construction of intelligence transmission, but some people have noticed the importance of intelligence, such as the Rothschilds. Before the Napoleonic Wars, the Rothschilds had the foresight to build their own system of strategic intelligence gathering and couriers. They have built up a vast network of secret agents, and these strategic intelligence spies are called "children". These men were stationed in all European capitals, major cities, important trading centers and commercial centers, and all kinds of commercial, political and other intelligence traveled between London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna and Naples. The efficiency, speed, and accuracy of this intelligence system are so impressive that they far exceed the speed of any official information network, and are difficult for other commercial competitors to match. The myth of the Rothschilds occurred at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, because the first news of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo - even earlier than the government knew - the third son of the Rothschilds Nathan made a lot of money from the stock market, the most mythical plot is that Nathan himself appeared on the battlefield, he rode a horse and followed Wellington's side, and returned to Dover from Ostend on a stormy night, his profit was between 20 million ~ 135 million pounds, After the war, the Rothschilds became creditors of the British government. The longevity of the Rothschilds in the next few hundred years has to be said to be the result of superior intelligence. Zhao Jie hopes that the intelligence network he has established can be as developed and sound as the Rothschilds, and that it can help him turn the tide of events at a critical time.

******************************************************************************

Having said that, the next day Zhao Jie went to Fengyue Tower to participate in the so-called group banquet as promised, accompanied by Xingyi, Lin Ruyi, Fei Jin, Zhao Ying, Li Dui, Xu Yang, and integrity.

"Brother Yan, I didn't want to see you again here." After Zhao Jie entered the door, he saw the noble son he met in the teahouse, and stepped forward to greet him.

"We are fate!" Yan Xi replied. "Sit down! The feast is about to begin. ”

As soon as Zhao Jie and his party sat down, the main owner of the banquet, the organizer Ji Xin, walked out of the side hall. After Ju Xin announced the opening of the banquet, he was the first to speak.

"Everyone, listen to me. As we all know, for example, today's princes are all trying to be strong by changing the law, taking the rule of law as the outline of governing the country, inheriting the benefits of the ancestors and Guan Zhong, and creating the law of the country: simple etiquette and customs, law and order, and etiquette and law, on the one hand, the courtesy, righteousness and honesty are regarded as the pillar of optimus to maintain the country, and the importance of etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame is promoted; On the other hand, it emphasizes the rule of law, and the monarchs and ministers obey the law. The law of Qi also talks about what the monarch should do: the monarch must have exclusive power, grasp the government decree and military power, make good use of power, the monarch can generate authority by making good use of power, in order to command the world, as a monarch do not show his own power, publicize his power, to be as deep as possible, the master should use the power to deal with the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the monarch's order, the minister must be responsible.

Although the law of Qi was founded earlier, but the law of the three Jin Dynasty came later, the law of the three Jin Dynasty abandoned all the etiquette and law advocated not to be close to each other, pointed out that it is not special to the noble and lowly, a break in the law, the law, the art, the power for the supreme and the gui, Li Kui compiled the first written code "The Book of Law" 6 articles, Wu Qi was the first to announce that he wanted to break the old aristocratic Shiqing Shilu system, Shang Ying advocated the use of severe punishment to eliminate crime, the king to "law" to control the people, Shen Bu harm that the king should use "art" to control the world, cautious to propose that the king to "power" rule Kyushu, the people of the three Jin Dynasty successively, In the end, the law of the Three Jin Dynasty was accepted by almost all the princes. In the era of King Zhao, my Yan Kingdom also practiced the law of the Three Jin Dynasty to reform and become strong.

All of you are Legalists and talents, and I am inviting you here today to invite you to pool your wisdom and share your experience in governing the country with "law" and your views on governing the country with "law." Please feel free to speak."

After listening to Ji Xin's words, everyone began to meditate, but Zhao Jie was calm, which made him attract Ji Xin's attention, so Ji Xin asked Zhao Jie to take the lead in talking about his thoughts.

When Zhao Jie heard this, he secretly swore in his heart: "Today is the day when I will make a blockbuster." ”

"The principle of employing people is to make wise people think to the best of their hearts, and the monarch decides things accordingly, so that the monarch's intelligence will not be exhausted; Encourage the sages to use their talents, and the monarch appoints them accordingly, so that the monarch's abilities will not be exhausted; If there is merit, the monarch will have a good name, and if there is a fault, his subordinates will bear the responsibility, so the reputation of the monarch will not be exhausted. Therefore, those who are not virtuous are the teachers of the sages, but those who are not wise are the rulers of the wise. The subordinates bear the labor, and the monarch enjoys the success, which is called the common law of the virtuous monarch. ”

"The principle of the Ming monarch to treat his subordinates: cover up his deeds, hide his thoughts, and his subordinates will not be able to detect them; Without wisdom, without talent, the subordinates will not be able to speculate. Defend your own intentions and verify your subordinates, and carefully grasp authority and hold it firmly. Put an end to the prying eyes of your subordinates, dispel your speculations, and don't let people covet the throne. ”

"The principle of reward and punishment is to ask his subordinates not to speak and not to count, not to give rewards at will, not to forgive punishments, and to state their opinions, and the monarch to grant them ministry according to their claims, and to ask them for their efficacy according to the ministry. The efficacy is in line with the ministry, and the ministry is in line with the proposition, and it is rewarded; If the efficacy is not in accordance with the ministry, and the ministry does not conform to the proposition, it will be punished. ”

"Ming Jun admires the beauties of the ladies and beauties in the palace and ignores their admonitions, and is not allowed to make personal requests. For the right and left attendants, when using them, we must strictly monitor their remarks and not exaggerate. For fathers and brothers and ministers, listen to their opinions, but be sure that they will be punished to guarantee the consequences, and they are not allowed to make false recommendations. For things to watch and play, there must be a basis in the law, and the ministers are not allowed to sacrifice or cut without authorization, so that the ministers do not guess the monarch's mind. The Ming monarch's exercise of favors, all the distribution of goods from the treasury and the grain of the official warehouse, and the benefit of the people, must be in the name of the monarch, and do not let the subordinates attribute the favor to themselves. As for those who are discussed, those whom are praised by those who praise them, and those whom are hated by those who are degraded, must verify their talents, find out their faults, and do not allow the ministers to praise or slander each other. For those who have courage, meritorious service in combat is not rewarded unusually, crimes are not forgiven for breaking the law in private fights, and ministers are not allowed to buy people with personal wealth. The Ming monarch obeyed the legitimate demands of other vassal states, and rejected those who were not. ”

"The woe of a monarch is to believe in others. If you believe in others, you will be controlled by others. The interest of the monarch lies in the appointment of officials with talent, and the interest of his subordinates is that they are reused without talent; The interest of the monarch is to be awarded knighthood for meritorious service, and the interest of his subordinates is to gain wealth without merit; The interests of the monarch lie in the service of heroes, and the interests of his subordinates lie in forming parties for personal gain. The interests of the courtiers and the monarch are different from each other, so the principle of the Ming monarch is that if he does not believe in the ministers, then the courtiers cannot take away the rights of the monarch. ”

"The Emperor establishes rewards that can be obtained, and punishments that can be avoided. Therefore, the sage worked hard to be rewarded without the calamity of Wu Zixu, the unsage committed less crimes without being unjustly punished by being hunchbacked and dissected, the blind were on the flat ground and did not encounter the abyss, and the stupid lived a quiet life without falling into danger. In this way, the affection between the monarch and the minister is concluded. ”

"The atmosphere that causes chaos in the country is that those who write books and speak speak of the way of the kings to preach benevolence, righteousness and morality; Grooming and dress, and clever rhetoric, were used to disrupt the laws of the day and shake the monarch's resolve. Those who are vertical and horizontal, deceitful, swaggering, and deceitful with the help of foreign forces to achieve their private goals, and then abandon national interests. Those ranger assassins, gathering party members, flaunting their integrity, in order to make a name for themselves, ended up violating the ban of the state. Those who evaded military service were largely dependent on the nobles and courtiers, and bribed indiscriminately, and with the help of important ministers, they avoided the toil of serving in the army. Those who are industrialists and merchants, who make shoddy utensils and accumulate extravagant wealth. Hoarding and selling, hoping to make huge profits from the peasants. These five types of people are all moths of the state. If the monarch does not get rid of these five kinds of people who are like moths, and does not recruit upright people, then. Even if there is a dilapidated country in the world, it is not surprising that the imperial court has been reduced in name. ”

After listening to Zhao Jie's deafening remarks, everyone fell into deep thought, and the whole room suddenly fell silent, and Zhao Jie sat down slowly, trying not to make a sound. Zhao Jie sat down with a burst of joy in his heart, in his previous life his father was a full lover of ancient literature, in his study there were all kinds of ancient books, after Zhao Jie went to junior high school, his father often took out some precious solitary books for him to read in the summer, saying that it was to cultivate the mind. And what Zhao Jie said just now are some passages and sentences in "Han Feizi" that he watched in his previous life. "Han Feizi" is written by Han Fei, a Korean at the end of the Warring States Period, is a collection of Legalist works, the Legalist thought has been complete and comprehensive, in Zhao Jie's thoughts, he thinks that it is a sure thing to shock this group of people, so he talked about it today, for the future study tour momentum.

What Zhao Jie didn't expect was that his remarks would affect many people and many things in the future. Within a month of this banquet, his assertion spread all over the world, and Zhao Zhao's name was also known to the world. Xunzi, a Confucian master in the Wei State, sighed after hearing this: "Zhao Zhao's son is really a strange person, if he praises it to the princes, then there is no place for my Confucianism and Taoism." Later, he was even more determined to study in Qin and reform Confucianism. A few years later, his disciple named Han Fei was even more benefited by Zhao Jie's words, and wrote the book "Han Feizi", which comprehensively summarized Legalist thoughts. What's more, after Zhao Jie's study tour, there is a saying in the world: the world of those who win Zhao Zhao.
