Chapter 7 The Way of Employing People
Speaking of employing people, Ying Zheng's expression was a little stiff. There are too few confidants available around him, and it can be said that it is difficult to support himself, which is also a weakness that he knows well.
Li Si saw the change in Ying Zheng's face, how could he not know what he was thinking, so he said: "When it comes to employing people, the king must feel that there is no one available, and it is difficult to speak alone." ”
"Exactly." Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "All the sects are constantly recruiting guests and expanding their strength. For the widows, they may be able to do everything, but after all, they are not all responding. After all, there are still too few descendants of the widows. Once faced with a crisis, it is difficult to protect yourself. ”
"Can the king know, why is there no mention of the way of employing people in the "Killing the Six Kingdoms Policy"?" Lees asked.
"There's really no mention of employing people in that book." Ying Zheng said, "Could it be that Mr. has another book on the way of employing people?" ”
"Hehe, it seems that the king likes the books of the grass people." Li Si said with a smile, "But this time, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the king, and the grass people didn't write a separate book on the way of employing people." The reason why it is not mentioned in this book is that at the time of writing, it had not yet decided to serve the king. Different monarchs will certainly not embody the same way of employing people, and even if it is written in a book, it can only be suitable for one or a few people. Moreover, the way of employing people is actually the main means to promote the monarch to achieve the factor of 'harmony'. And when occupying the sky, the location is advantageous, and when not occupying the sky, the way of employing people that should be adopted by the location is also different. ”
"It's really impossible to generalize." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then Mr. thinks, how should the widow use people?" ”
"In fact, as a monarch, if you want to use a good person, there are only three steps: knowing people, cutting people, and controlling people." Lees said.
"What is to know people, cut people, and control people." Ying Zheng had a thirsty expression.
"When you meet someone, first understand him, then judge what position he is suitable for, and finally take full control of him." Lees explained.
Ying Zheng listened very seriously, nodded and motioned for Li Si to continue.
"Knowing people, in addition to understanding the person's origin, family background, knowledge and other external factors, the most important thing should be to judge the person's loyalty and measure whether the person is available." Lees continued, "Then through the virtue and talent that this person has shown, we can put it in the most appropriate position and make the best use of it. In the end, through the officials, the lords, and even the family members, it was controlled within the scope of restraint. ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, the land that had been dry for a long time suddenly ushered in a hearty heavy rain.
"What the gentleman said, can it be collected into a book?" Ying Zheng remembered the last "Destruction of the Six Kingdoms Policy" last time, and said, "Regarding these truths, Mr. wrote them out, and the widow read them carefully." But at present, the widow is desperate to know where to start and who to use. ”
Ying Zheng looked very anxious. The monarchs of all countries call themselves widows, but no one really wants to be alone.
Li Si smiled: "The king doesn't have to be impatient. The wise men of the world can be recruited as much as possible, and if the unification of the world is the ultimate goal, the grass people suggest that they start with military power. Although Lu Xiangbang held great power, he did not monopolize military power. There are many loyal people in Great Qin, but there are few loyal people. The king's priority was to train loyal men with some military power in his hands. ”
"Loyal to the king......" Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
Li Si nodded and said, "The same is loyalty, but the goals of loyalty to the country and loyalty to the monarch are different. Those who are loyal to the country can shed blood and cut off their heads for their country or nation, and let the country change several monarchs, and their practices are the same. And the loyal to the monarch is loyal to the lord, even if the king is defeated and flees, the loyal person will follow the master to the end of the world. ”
Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said: "What Mr. said is that the court and the court are all loyal ministers, but they are loyal to the country, loyal to Daqin, and loyal to not widows." Originally, the widow thought that it was the same, there was no difference, but now it seems that this is not the case. ”
"The royal family is actually a representative of those who are loyal to the country." Li Si said leisurely, "The Ying family is the royal family of Great Qin, with a noble status, and controls the society of Great Qin. Each knight has its own realm and even an army. Most of the people who lived in the royal capital also held important official positions. Although the princes competed with each other for succession to the throne, it was only an internal dispute, and their overall loyalty was unquestionable. The first thing the king should do is to gather the hearts of the Ying clan, show the posture of the emperor, and make him finally king, and then be loyal to the country. ”
"Among the clans, most of them are widowed elders, and they are in awe of widows on weekdays, but there are not many opportunities to meet, so they really can't tell who can be loyal and who can be virtuous." Ying Zheng spoke out about the problems that have been bothering him for several years.
Ying Zheng was born in Zhao State, and he was not raised by the elders of the clan, so he didn't know him very well. He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and the elders of the clan were all in awe of his subordinates for the king, and most of the big and small things were to go to Lu Buwei to discuss, and in the end, as long as the queen mother nodded, the matter was settled. They really don't have much contact with Ying Zheng, and they still think that Ying Zheng is still a child. And the less contact, the less trust there is between each other.
"The king dared to prove to Lu Xiangbang that the king was an adult." Li Si put away his smile, "But he doesn't want to prove to his blood relatives that the king is an adult and is ready to become a Ming monarch and a virtuous lord?" ”
Li Si's rhetorical question stunned Ying Zheng's question. Yes, he even tempted his middle father that day, so he couldn't test his own people. If you are loyal from the point of view, who can be loyal to their own Ying clan. It can be said that the royal family is loyal to the country, as long as you choose among them who can be loyal to your own king, there will be no problem.
"Forgive the grass people for their blunt sin." Li Si also said, "The reigns of recent generations of kings have been relatively short, and the court is unstable. If it weren't for Lu Xiangbang, the battle for the throne between the princes would not be the current situation, and it would probably be much more tragic. The king has been in power for seven years, and the dynasty has been stabilized, which is the best period to win the hearts of the people and establish the prestige of the king. ”
"Hehe, it seems that the widow is going to go out for a walk." Ying Zheng smiled, since he met Li Si, his self-confidence has become stronger and stronger, which he didn't notice himself.
"It's not just about walking, it's about walking more." Li Si continued, "Not only the royal family, but also the king should have more contact with the loyal ministers of the court, even the courtiers of low official ranks, and the courtiers of the city-state or fief. ”
Li Si is cultivating the habit of Corporal Ying Zheng Lixian.
"As Mr. said." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "From today on, the widow is no longer the king who is high up and only respected, and if you want to cultivate close ministers, the widow must first treat them as relatives and brothers." ”
"Not bad." Lees said.
And the same with the people. Who said that there are no loyal people among the common people? Ying Zheng added, obviously remembering the ambition of the world that Li Si asked him before. If you can't love the people like children, won't the ambition of the world become a slogan.
"Princes and ministers, if the king can use it, he can use it, and if it is not available, there is no need to force it." Lees said, "It is the same to choose from the city-state or other kingdoms those who are outstanding and loyal to the king. ”
"Sir, what do you think is available among the princes and ministers?" Ying Zheng's words have long been wanted to ask.
"The royal family also asks the king to decide for himself, as for the ministers." Li Si paused deliberately, "Judging from the conditions described by the grass people, the most suitable one is the Meng family." ”
"The Meng family?" Ying Zheng's personal relationship with the Meng family has always been good.
"Exactly." Li Si said, "Although the Meng family is a Qi person, they have been an official in the Qin State for three generations and assisted the fourth king. And the kings of all dynasties attached great importance to the Meng family, and the Meng family had many military exploits and was also loyal to Daqin. Although the old general Meng Fu is old, his prestige in the army is still there. His son Meng Wu is also often a veteran general, and he has a lot of achievements. And the two sons of the Meng family, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, are also young heroes, and they will be the tigers. As long as the king goes to invite him sincerely, the Meng family will definitely smear the king's liver and brain. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and after being reminded by Li Si, it seemed to open a door to his heart.
The Meng family can be said to be the most meritorious family in the current Qin State, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi are the same age as Ying Zheng, and they are the two peers with the best relationship after Ying Zheng returned to the Qin State.
Before Yingzheng subconsciously thought that the old general Meng Fu was the kind of person who was loyal to the country, so he didn't deliberately think about a way to make him loyal to himself, and now it seems that if he doesn't give it a try, how can he know the result?
Ying Zheng couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and asked with a smile: "So, who else is available?" ”
"Wang Qian." Lees said it very simply.
"General Wang is indeed a rare handsome talent, and he is even more loyal to Daqin." Ying Zheng said, "The widow will start with the two of them first to establish the widow's lineage. ”
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng seemed to remember something: "Zhao Gao, what is the name of the pair of brothers you said last time?" ”
"Back to the king, it's the second and third watches." Zhao Gao said.
"Bring them to the widow." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "The loyal and brave people of the people can't miss it." ”
"The king." Li Si arched his hand and said, "There is one more thing, the grass people want to remind the king. ”
"Sir, please." Ying Zheng said.
"The forces in the palace cannot be ignored." Li Si said, "Before visiting the Ying clan, the king needs to appease a person in the palace. ”
"The Queen Mother?" Ying Zheng guessed.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Huayang." Lees said.
