That's right, it's the State of Qin.

Of course, the Qin State back then did not have the same spirit as it does now.

In the first battle of Hexi, he almost didn't take the old life of Qin, Wei broke 50,000 Qin troops 500,000, Hangu Pass was about to change hands, Yingquliang was the Qin State that took over under such circumstances.

As soon as our Qin Xiaogong came to power, looking at this devastation, and then looking at the group of old, weak, and stupid courtiers in the audience, his heart suddenly cooled.

When asked how to strengthen the army and enrich the country, no one can answer.

That's right, if these people had an idea, their father wouldn't have been broken by 500,000 yuan.

So what to do?

Easy to do! If you can't, then don't blame me for inviting a master!

Immediately, the "Recruitment Order" was sent out to the valley, and the scholars of the six countries entered Liyang. The effect is simply not too good!

In essence, Qin Xiaogong's move can be regarded as a "meritocracy". It's just that Qin Xiaogong is obviously still relatively subtle, and he is not as blatant as Zhao Kuo and Cao Dada.

But judging from a series of selection and employment actions after the Qin State, the upper echelons of the Qin State have obviously tasted the sweetness of "meritocracy".

What Shang Ying, what Fan Sui, when he first went to the Qin State, he didn't have a good reputation, let alone virtue, he was almost chased and scolded by scum. But I can't stand that people are talented, and if they are talented, they will use it! It really has a curative effect. After one or two were curative, Qin Guo became more determined to be meritocratic.

Of course, after relying on the Qin State, even if he is really a person without virtue, he will naturally become jealous because of his talents

And after being persecuted and wronged, the Qin State naturally wanted to seek justice for its courtiers.

So one of the two despised people without virtue turned around and became sought-after people with both ability and political integrity, and the employment of the Qin State is naturally still "morality first"!

However, the people are not blind, and the examples of thousands of golden horse bones are so clearly placed there! When he arrived at Fan Sui, he was already a little blatant.

Therefore, among the six countries, no matter where there are unambitious scholars, the first thing that comes to mind is the Qin State. Even what Qin said was still "morality first".

Now that Zhao is a latecomer, what should I do if I want to compete with Qin for talents?

What are the benefits? Can you be richer than the Qin State, but people have accumulated several generations, but Zhao Kuo has empty hands in his hands?

Spell image? People have accumulated the work of several lifetimes and laid the foundation from Shang Ying, Zhao Kuo asked himself if he didn't have so much time to slowly establish an image.

Since the cards on this table are destined to not be played according to the established rules, then simply don't play.

Overturn all the rules, don't want to refuse and welcome, just sing a song and tell the world: My Zhao country needs talents, whether you have a good reputation or not, as long as you have talent, you can come! We are absolutely full of sincerity here!

Straightforward, simple, and straightforward!

Suo Ruo said that he was still a little hesitant to go to the Qin State, after all, although there are precedents in front of him, but all the stories are circulating, and I don't know if he is really talented, after all, the talents in the stories are all jealous and planted, and he may not be able to do it in the past!

But now Zhao Guo gave a very positive answer, plus a comparable king

The luxurious residence of the palace and the conditions are enough to prove that Zhao Guo is full of sincerity.

In the case of some choices, obviously, Zhao Guo may be a more secure choice, isn't it?

It is under such considerations that Zhao Kuo tried his best to publicize this "Talent Seeking Order".

As for such an approach, will it leave a legacy for future generations? Zhao Kuo said that if future generations can also "act meritocracy", perhaps this is the biggest contribution of his trip to Zhao Kingdom.

Don't you see, when Cao Cao is not dead, the order to seek talent is already in vain?

Zhao Kuo knew very well that when the new nobles rise up, a new circle of walls will be formed, and this wall will only get higher and thicker until it completely blocks the passage for others to enter and exit......

This is the inevitability of history, the inevitability of human nature, and it is not subject to his will.

And what Zhao Kuo can do is to avoid this wall in front of him as much as possible in his limited life, and then sprinkle a handful of seeds for future generations!

After reading out, Lu Buwei also breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand, and the red silk on the high wall outside the door also fell to the ground instantly, revealing the wall engraved with the full text of the "Seeking Merit Order".

People were amazed, sighed, and amazed......

And this is exactly what Zhao Kuo wants to see: a "Talent Seeking Order" instantly made the "Talent Seeking Hall" that had just opened popular again, and I am afraid that it was only Qi in its heyday

Jixia School Palace, maybe it can be compared with it.

However, just when everyone thought that this was all about the Seeking Talents Hall, Lu Buwei on the side took a silk letter from the attendant.

He cleared his throat slightly, and then read aloud to the crowd.

"The talent that Zhao Guo seeks today is not the talent of the country.

Those who can govern the county and the people are called talents; Those who can carry guns and fight on horses are also talents; Those who can farm acres and make many acres productive are called talents; It can improve the equipment and increase the range and strength of the people, which is called talent; Whether there is an increase in the number of goods and goods, and even more talented......

Therefore, there are those who are beyond ordinary people and benefit the country, they can all be called talents! ”

Obviously, Lü Buwei's words can be regarded as a redefinition of the so-called "talent", and this is a complete subversion of traditional thinking.

In a word, it's not like Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui, as long as you can be better than ordinary people in a certain aspect, then you are talented!

It's not even limited to literary talent and martial arts.

After all, these belong to the category of taxis, and they have been the same since ancient times! Especially in today's troubled times, attaching importance to military generals, asking for generals who can fight on horses and guns, naturally it can be understood!

However, when will the farmer, the craftsman, and even the low-end merchant be commensurate with the talent of the scholar?

When he first put forward this statement, Zhao Kuo was also dissuaded a lot, at least Pingyuanjun obviously did not agree with such a statement: "The order of Shinong industry and commerce, the cornerstone of the country, should not be moved lightly." If the farmer and the industry stand side by side, I am afraid that it will hurt the heart of the scholar, but it will be unfavorable to the original intention of taking talents! ”

Zhao Kuo said: "The order of the four people, the foundation of Zhou Li,

And where is the Zhou Dynasty now? With such a weak cornerstone, if it is not moved, how can it build thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy? ”

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and the heart of Zhao Kuo at the beginning had been accepted by thousands of families.

Zhao Kuo then said: "Scholars are precious, and they know it, if they know that they can't strengthen the country, why is it expensive?" Or although it is an agriculture, it can make land and increase the yield per mu by 20%, and its benefits to the country are not under the importance of Shangshu? How can we forsake it? Therefore, those who can increase the strength of our country should be accepted, regardless of the belonging of the four people. ”

When everyone heard about it, they were happy to follow it.

As a result, Lü Buwei announced to the world on behalf of the imperial court that Zhao Guo's understanding of "talent" was announced.

Of course, after explaining what kind of talent you want, the next thing is the issue of treatment.

Immediately, Lü Buwei continued to read out the introduction of the treatment of all kinds of talents in the Talent Pavilion.

And as Lu Buwei's words gradually fell, bursts of warm cheers and applause resounded outside the Seeking Talent Hall.

No way, he gave too much.

Not only official titles, titles, wealth, acres, and even beauties and houses, as long as you want to be a talented man, as long as you have it in the territory of Zhao Kingdom, you can take it yourself.

However, having said that, under the generous treatment, it is also an extremely strict grading and assessment of "talent".

What's worse is that it doesn't matter if you don't make it for the time being, as long as you pass the assessment test of the Talent Pavilion, you can live in the Talent Pavilion and receive a minimum talent subsidy, and when you want to do something, the Talent Pavilion will pave the way for you, and when you really do it

Now, all the rewards will be honored!

This operation is obviously more generous than the so-called talent introduction in the 21st century!

Immediately, the people of Handan present shouted to sign up for the assessment test, regardless of the fact that today is still the festival of Shangyuan.

Obviously, Zhao Kuo underestimated the impact and impact that the treatment he gave could have on the people.

Yes, from ancient times to the present, our Chinese people have only asked for three meals a day, food and clothing, but unfortunately, such a simple request is to experience the history of "prosperity, the people are suffering; died, and the people suffered".

It's just that in order to make the assessment more influential and fair, Zhao Kuo still decided to leave the assessment test for tomorrow's dynasty, after all, these things are still to be taken over by the Ministry of Rites is the right way.

To put it mildly, the officials finally persuaded the people of Handan, who were already "hungry and thirsty".

Zhao Kuo, who had been busy all morning, was finally able to return to the palace, and several cabinet elders also quietly gathered around Zhao Kuo to finally deliberate on tomorrow's agenda.

It is said that it is an agenda, but in fact, it is mainly to confirm the reform of the establishment of various yamen.

On the desk of several people was the reform plan for the establishment of several important departments and yamen of the imperial court in accordance with the latest instructions of Zhao Wangkuo and in light of the actual situation of Zhao State.

The content of the plan mainly involves three aspects, namely: clarifying the functional structure, defining the boundaries of the rules, and "eliminating redundant personnel and promoting officials!" ”。

If you talk about the first two, it's just Zhao Kuo's thoughts

On the basis of the law, set up the actual situation of Zhao Guo today, although it is a bit complicated, there are rules to follow, so the last one "eliminate redundant personnel and promote cadres!" "It's a big problem.

The simple eight-word request made Pingyuanjun's legs thinner, and his mouth was worn out.

No matter how many connections come to the door, just the demarcation of "redundant personnel" and "cadres" is enough to make Pingyuan Jun have a headache......
