Chapter 22 Two Hydraulic Works
Le Yi is a peerless talent, and invited him to the Qin State, which will help the Qin State not only in running the school, but also in the fact that he can give the Qin State a very far-sighted proposal, which is exactly what the Qin State needs to unify the world.
For King Qin Zhao, who was bent on unifying the world, his heart was hot, if he wasn't afraid of being too abrupt, King Qin Zhao would have asked for a plan when he saw Le Yi. Now, the etiquette is finally over, and King Qin Zhao asked as soon as possible.
Listen to Le Yi's opinion, this is a particularly important thing, not only King Qin Zhao is looking forward to it, but also Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Sima Terrier, Qin Yiren, Wang Qian, Li Si and Han Fei are also looking forward to it, all of them are staring at Le Yi with round eyes and staring at Le Yi.
"Before the Changping War, Qin and Zhao confronted each other, and they all had a downward trend. In the Battle of Changping, Qin won and Zhao was defeated, and Zhao was no longer able to win the world. Le Yi began to analyze and said: "Qin Cao is the general trend of the world, and it is only a matter of morning and evening in the day. Le Yi has a saying: first inside and then outside, steady and steady, more benevolence and righteousness, and less killing. ”
First inside and then outside: This remark coincides with Fan Sui's advocacy of postponing eastward expansion and building up national strength.
Although the Qin State is a strong and dominant country, and the general trend of the world is in its own hands, however, the power of Shandong is still not small, and if the Qin State wants to be unified, it must be even stronger. At the very least, to recover from the enormous attrition of the Great War of Changping.
Therefore, starting from the domestic side, it has become necessary to restore the national strength and make the Qin State stronger.
Steady and steady: Qin is a strong and dominant, and there is no unified competitor, and the general trend of the world is in his own hands, as long as he is not in a hurry, he only needs to ask for the word "stability", and he can sweep away the countries and dominate the world.
Historically. The Qin State fought a series of defeats after the Battle of Changping. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost. The state of Qin was once extremely weak and unable to advance eastward, because King Qin Zhao was too eager and impatient. He really wanted to dominate the world in his lifetime, ignoring the fact that the Qin State was too consumed by the Changping War, and used troops on a large scale. In addition, he killed Bai Qi by mistake, lost the commander of the army, and made mistakes in diplomatic relations. did not break through one by one, and finally caused Shandong to join the column, and the Qin State was defeated again and again.
Le Yi's statement that he wants the Qin State to seek stability is too insightful, and it hits the key point of the Qin State.
More benevolence and less killing: This is because the Qin state was going to fight a war of unification, not a war for hegemony. In the battle for hegemony, kill and kill, burn and burn, and rob and rob. Anyway, it's a one-shot deal, what can you do with me?
War of Unification. That is, the land and city that were defeated belonged to the Qin State, and the people of the ruined country were the people of the Qin State, and they should put benevolence and righteousness first and tie their hearts. If there is too much killing, hatred will accumulate, which will not be convenient for the next governance. Not to mention, this will deplete Huaxia's vital strength.
Le Yi is worthy of being a great talent through the ages, and in one sentence he included all the statements of Fan Sui and Wang Qian, and also pointed out the strategy for the Qin State, that is, to seek stability.
"Good! Pick! King Qin Zhao cheered loudly, all of them in admiration.
"Mr. is so scheming, let Yingji be like an initiation, and wake up." King Qin Zhao was ashamed again, and said: "Don't hide it, Mr., Yingji is too anxious and impatient about unification, fortunately the prime minister and the stranger stopped him, otherwise, he will make a big mistake." ”
After listening to Le Yi's words, King Qin Zhao knew that he was too impatient to rush to sweep away the land of Shandong.
King Qin Zhao was able to face up to his own mistakes, which was his preciousness, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to look at the world for decades and make the land of Shandong talk about Qin.
"Mr. can enter Qin, Qin Zhixing also!" King Qin Zhao's face was full of joy, and he said, "Can Mr. give in to the guest qing?" ”
Keqing, equivalent to a modern "consultant", has no actual authority, but has a pivotal position and can give advice to the king of a country.
In the land of Shandong, the position of guest secretary is a fictitious title, which is invited by the monarch to buy people's hearts, and it is just a decoration, which has no practical use. However, the guest secretary of the Qin State is very important, Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui have all been guest secretaries, and finally all three of them have become prime ministers.
King Qin Zhao asked Le Yi to be a guest, because Le Yi was too old, he would no longer worship him as a minister, but the importance of him was already obvious.
"If the king of Qin doesn't think Le Yi is old, Le Yi is willing to be Qin's guest." Of course, Le Yi knew the importance of Qin Guoqing, and King Qin Zhao was also very sincere and gladly accepted the order.
"Huh!" King Qin Zhao let out a burst of laughter and said, "Please also ask Mr. to give advice to the widow." ”
If Le Yi can plan for the Qin State, it would be the best, and King Qin Zhao is really happy.
"King Qin has an order, and Le Yi will not refuse." Le Yi said busily.
"Inviting Mr. to Qin this time is not only to ask Mr. to give advice to the widow, but also to ask Mr. to do something extremely important." King Qin Zhao was greatly pleased.
"What?" King Qin Zhao is a heroic generation, and the big thing in his mouth must be a big thing, Le Yi raised his eyebrows, and his face was solemn.
"School Library." King Qin Zhao gave the answer.
"Running a school?" Le Yi was stunned.
Running a school, how big is it? I thought it was a big deal.
"Mr. mistaken, the school hall that Qin wants to run is completely different from the Taixue run by Zhou Gong and the school run by Confucius." King Qin Zhao knew that Le Yi had misunderstood, so he explained, and said to Qin Yiren: "Yiren, you initiated this matter, you tell Mr. about it." ”
"No." Qin Yiren took the order and explained to Le Yi, saying: "Zhou Gong repaired the Ming Hall, built Taixue, and the beauty of poetry and books blew him like a flower." However, Zhou Gong is too learned, this is a little bigger, how many talents has he cultivated? The school hall to be built in Daqin is ......"
Next, Qin Yiren explained to Le Yi.
"......" After Qin Yiren finished speaking, Le Yi's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
It's not that Le Yi has a problem with his comprehension, on the contrary, he understands it very thoroughly. It was precisely because he understood Qin Yiren's intentions that he was shocked.
"Throughout the ages, although there are Zhou Gong Xiuming Hall and Taixue, although Confucius has educated 3,000 people, but compared with the Qin State's handwriting, it is a small thing." After a long while, Le Yi stroked his forehead, sighed with emotion, and said, "If this matter is done, why worry about no talent?" Why worry about the lack of prosperity? ”
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, reading was a privilege. Only a very small number of people have access to this privilege. Zhou Gong Xiuming Hall. Jiantaixue. Cultivating scholars, that is for the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, there are not many people cultivated.
Later, the famous educator Confucius ran a school, "3,000 disciples, 72 sages", which has been passed down through the ages, because Confucius broke the shackles that reading is a privilege. It is that he can return to such a poor person to study.
The school hall to be run by the Qin State is much larger than that of Zhou Gong and Confucius, and it is more practical and should be based on practice. If it is really done, the Qin State will have a large number of talents, and all industries will prosper.
This kind of thing, not to mention doing it, is also shocking to think about. Even with Le Yi's talent and mind, it is a good shock.
"Good! This is Le Yi's honor! Le Yi happily accepted the order.
"Huh! This matter is entrusted to Mr. Yingji can rest assured! "With Le Yi's talents, of course, he will not teach those flashy pedantic studies like Confucius, but will definitely teach people practical talents. It is conceivable that the talents cultivated by this academy will have good talents and will be practical.
"King Qin, Le Yi thinks that after the school is completed, it should recruit smart people from all over the world to enroll." Le Yi immediately offered his plan.
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! King Qin Zhao nodded heavily, and said: "This matter is like the ceremony of picking materials, come to Qin to study, and those who are not hired, Daqin will give them the capital of the boat." ”
"Very good! Very good! "Qin Yiren held the Ceremony of Picking Materials in Handan, that is, everyone who came to Handan to participate in the ceremony could receive the capital of the boat, which greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the readers, which was an important reason for the success of the Ceremony.
It is conceivable that once it is implemented, there will be an endless stream of people who come to Qin to study.
"Whoever is hired shall be disposed of as a servant, and shall not only give them free food and lodging, but also a salary." King Qin Zhao's next words made Le Yi even more excited.
"King Qin is so generous!" Le Yi was excited, and he sighed again.
Not only can you study, but you can also receive a salary to support your family, so that your family will not go hungry and will not be cold, which will greatly promote the enthusiasm of students. At the same time, it is bound to attract real talents.
"This matter is extremely important, and I will deal with it." Le Yi is a resolute person, once decided, he must operate.
"Sir, wait, there's one more thing to please, sir." Qin Yiren stopped Le Yi and said, "Mr. knows, since the weakening of the Zhou family, the world has been in chaos, the household registration is disordered, I don't know the number of people, I don't know the geography of mountains and rivers, I don't know the dangers of mountains and rivers, which is not conducive to governance." I would like to ask Mr. to take the lead, with the help of Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, to lead a group of erudite and talented people to sort out the geography of the world's household registration. ”
This is the basic information of governance, without this first-hand information, even if the Qin State unifies the world, it will not be able to govern. Even if it is governed, it will not be realistic.
"The prince is far-sighted, and Le Yi admires." Le Yi knew the importance of this matter and readily agreed.
Qin Yiren's ability to start sorting out these materials before the Great War of Unification was far-sighted and far-sighted, and no matter how much praise he could make, he couldn't overstate his praise.
"Good! Good! Good! King Qin Zhao stroked his white beard and was extremely pleased.
In this way, Le Yi immediately took charge of running the school and sorting out the books.
XXXXXX
Qin Yiren's Wang Taisun Mansion, Qin Yiren was immersed in business, looking focused.
"The grandson of the king, there is a water engineer unveiled." At this moment, Meng Zhao hurriedly walked in and reported to Qin Yiren.
"Oh." Qin Yiren was greatly excited, stood up violently, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is very useful to ask for talents, there will be a water engineer to unveil the list so soon, good, good!" ”
Hydraulic engineering is related to the great cause of unification, and Qin Yiren has long been looking forward to having a hydraulic engineering unveiled.
"Wang Taisun, it's not one, it's two." Meng Zhao hurriedly reported.
"Two? Good! The more the merrier. What are their names? Qin Yiren hurriedly asked.
"One is named Li Bing......" Meng Zhao didn't know how much impact this name had on Qin Yiren.
"Li Bing?" Qin Yiren is a stumbling person, this is a famous plumber.
“…… One is named Zheng Guo. Meng Zhao looked at Qin Yiren, who almost didn't stand firm, with some surprise.
"Zheng Guo?" Qin Yiren screamed "my mother" in his heart, and actually bit his tongue.
Li Bing and Zheng Guo, these are two peerless plumbers, and they have all arrived, can Qin Yiren not be shocked? (To be continued......)
