Chapter 144
As we all know, Zhao is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms.
The six eastern countries are not stupid, and when they see that Zhaoguo is so strong, they naturally want to send talents to Zhaoguo to learn advanced experience.
As for Zhaoguo, located in the west, there is a lack of talents, and I can't wait for the more people of insight to come, the better. Therefore, these people sent by the six eastern countries in their official capacity are treated very favorably.
Those with outstanding ability will be awarded the title of "Keqing", and the title is equivalent to "Zuo Shu Chang", which is the tenth rank in the 20th class of the military merit title system of the field house, and also issued houses, land and slaves.
The ability is average, that is, ordinary "guests", Zhaoguo is also quite courteous. According to their own ability, they will be given the right officials; Those who really don't have the ability are also honored.
The people of Zhaoguo have always had great opinions on this matter.
First, the official position is so much, and this group of guests came and undoubtedly robbed them of part of their jobs;
The second is that many Zhaoguo people believe that there are many spies among these guests, and secretly transmitting intelligence is still secondary.
The kings of Zhao in the past dynasties didn't know this, but the country of Zhao lacked people.
Compared with the risk of a talent gap, infiltrating spies seems to be less serious.
What's more, people's hearts are rich and rich, as long as Zhaoguo's treatment of guests has always been the head of the Seven Kingdoms, why worry that many people are not sincerely convinced?
Throughout the history of the Zhao Kingdom, half of the country was fought by foreigners, which proves the importance of the talent strategy of merging and accommodating all rivers?
Yin Cheng was a little curious, why Yang Yuan would use this as a starting point, but on the surface, she would not say the wrong thing, so she said lightly: "This is a national policy." ”
In just four words, Yang Yuan understood.
The princess did not resent, like many people in Zhaoguo, to this policy.
In other words, even if the princess doesn't like the guests, she can distinguish the priorities of things and know the importance of talent to Zhaoguo.
No matter what the situation is, Yang Yuan is a little more sure of what he is going to say next.
Therefore, he boldly raised his head, looked sincere, and spoke sincerely: "Xiangbang is compiling the "Mountains and Seas Map" and recruiting talents from all over the world. After the book is completed, if anyone can change a word, a thousand gold will be rewarded. It can be seen that under the Xiangbang family, there are many talents, and I don't know how many. ”
If you were someone else, you would never dare to mention Jiang Zhong directly before you tried Yin Cheng's attitude at this time.
This kind of talk, in particular, is not so much intercession, but rather a smear without a trace.
A mere courtier, raising so many guests, and the pomp is bigger than the king, isn't this self-destruction?
But Yin Ji and Chu Qi are both smart people, so they naturally know that Yang Yuan still has the following.
At the same time, Yang Yuan looked at Yin Yuan's expression without a trace.
He didn't think of the princess as a person with a deep city, and a person who was moody.
The reason is also very simple, with the identity, status and power of the princess, few people are worthy of her deliberately hiding her emotional changes.
If there is no such need, then this aspect will not be taken seriously.
Therefore, the princess did not express her displeasure, which undoubtedly means that she does not mind much about Jiang Zhong's cultivation of thousands of guests.
Yang Yuan changed his words and said with a little regret: "Yang used to be a guest of Xiangbang, and he knew that among his former colleagues, there were many capable people. I came from a humble background, I have no food and clothing, and I will give my life to repay the kindness of a meal. Xiangbang is kind, I am afraid that only one death can be paid off. ”
Yin Ji was very surprised.
She had never heard of the fact that if she received a meal, she would have to pay back her life, and she couldn't help but look at Abu.
Abu knew the wit and was interested, and immediately attached his ear, and explained to Yin Cheng in a low voice: "The doorman receives food and clothing from the benefactor, and he should serve the benefactor to death." If the benefactor is in trouble, the doorman goes bankrupt and gives up his life, and he should also accompany the benefactor. If not, man and God will abandon him, and there will be no place in the world. ”
Yin Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she lowered her voice: "If Xiangbang-"
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Abu understood: "The rooster and the dog thief may not give up this life, but the loyal and righteous man will either draw his sword and commit suicide, or do his best to raise the orphans of the benefactor." ”
This is the unspoken rule of the times, and it is also the reason why the big guys like to store customers.
Yin Ji has always thought that the relationship between the minister and the doorman is an employment relationship, you make me worry about food and clothing, and I will do things seriously for you.
I found out today that this is actually a life-and-death relationship!
According to Abu, as long as the "shi" accepts the recruitment of a certain big man. Even if the latter is a scum and a thief, it is equivalent to being tied to the opponent's chariot, and it must not be changed.
If the other party wants to rebel, you can kill yourself to be loyal to the king and to the benefactor, but you cannot turn your back on the benefactor, let alone denounce the other party.
If you dare to do this, the whole world will look down on you.
Of course, not everyone abides by this contract, otherwise there would be no "whistleblowers".
But even if you are an informant, you are secretive, and if anyone dares to openly say "I told the secret", not only you, but your children and grandchildren, at least three generations, no one will care.
Yin Ji asked again: "How does the eldest brother deal with the informant in general?" ”
It stands to reason that Abu could not reveal such a thing, otherwise he would die.
But he also knew very well that the king acquiesced to him following the princess, that is, he knew that the princess did not understand many things and needed to explain to the princess.
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to say: "Give the informant a large amount of money, so that he can give it to his family, and if necessary, he can change the door for his family." However, no special treatment will be given to the whistleblower himself. ”
In short, what to do, or how to deal with it. I will not open up the net and encourage such villains just because someone denounces the rebellion.
It's just that the whistleblower uses treachery in exchange for the safety of his family.
In view of Yin Ji and Abu's whispering, Yang Yuan did not continue to speak, but he knew that the few words he had just made should have a certain effect.
Yang Yuan recalled that after the princess went to Minjun, the loss of Minjun's river workers has greatly decreased in recent years, and Liu He is not a person who cherishes the people's power.
are also children of the Legalists, who doesn't know whose virtue?
That being the case, why Liu He suddenly changed his attitude is very interesting.
Yang Yuan also knew that the people around the princess had complained about why the princess sent the best weavers to teach the crooked ladies who were in the leather and meat business to weave.
Such a good deed, the palace people can't see through it, but Yang Yuan can see it clearly.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
He was sure that the princess was a very gentle and kind person.
Otherwise, she would not put herself in the shoes of these humble women at all, and it was already remarkable that she was willing to give porridge and medicine, how could she care about how they would survive in the future once they left the princess's kindness?
This is the reason why Yang Yuan mentions the guest from the guest.
If the princess cares about the strength of Zhaoguo, she will naturally pay attention to the talent strategy.
Zhaoguo needs talents, and Jiang Zhong's disciples have a lot of talents.
Once Jiang Zhong is dismissed, people like Yang Yuan, who have been rewarded by the king for their official positions, can be regarded as jumping out of the identity of a guest, and can continue to be an official.
If they are still Jiang Zhong's disciples, even if the king recruits them, they can't go, and they must return to their hometown with Jiang Zhong.
And the princess is a kind person, once she knows that if Jiang Zhong is executed, at least hundreds of his disciples will draw their swords and kill themselves in order to prove their loyalty, and go with Jiang Zhong, it is very likely that they will be soft-hearted.
