Afterwards, Yi Ren died early and Ying Zheng ascended the throne at a young age, also supported by Lu Buwei.
It is true that Wei Ran and Lu Buwei were powerful ministers, and it is true that they had done things that benefited themselves at the expense of others, but when these two guys were in power, Qin's national power was on the rise.
What about the Eastern countries?
Many of the Zhao monarchs succeeded to the throne at young ages, but what about those powerful ministers? Even Wei Ran and Lu Buwei could not see the taillights of their cars.
Not to mention six generations of Mingjuns in a row. Three generations in a row would be like smoke rising from the ancestral graves. There is absolutely no problem in being the overlord of the world.
If the State of Zhao did not issue a recruitment order, use academies, write books and treatises to attract talents, and expand the business and expand their positions, many of these talents would inevitably go to the State of Qin.
When Qin and Yan issued recruitment orders, domestic talents were scarce and there were many positions left for everyone, so talents from all over the world flocked to them. However, Zhao's own talents were not scarce. Although there were positions, there were not many.
Why do so many people still come? It’s because the academy and book writing are something that no other country can provide.
Most people who can afford to study in this era are not short of money, and what they pursue is nothing more than fame and power. Power may not be obtained in any country, but fame can be obtained in Zhao State.
Do you still have to choose? You must choose what you can get.
If there is no famous attraction, everyone comes to the Zhao State and sees that there are so many places. Even if I try my best to climb up, I can’t climb up. So why not climb up with a hammer and go to other countries? I heard that the Qin State is
good.
"It stands to reason that the Qin State should have cultivated its own talents a long time ago, right? Why hasn't it been done?" Lu Zhonglian was a little puzzled.
He didn't believe it if Qin could not think of this. Whether it was Confucius' private school, Wei's Xihe School or Qi's Jixia Academy, they were all examples. Qin was not blind, so he could just copy them.
Moreover, the Qin State itself was not xenophobic. Shang Yang's reform included many policies that copied the policies of Wei and Zhao. Logically speaking, such a good thing should not be let go.
However, the Qin State has never built a college for so many years. It was not until last year that it began to build a library.
"The State of Qin has a mechanism for cultivating talents, and it is the most complete among all countries. As long as there is enough to eat, everyone has the opportunity to get access to education. However... because of the existence of the military merit system, most of the people trained are killer talents, but they are enough to fill the gap.
There is a vacancy in the middle level of Qin State. What Qin State lacks is only top civil servants, not ordinary civil servants."
"The reason why the Qin State cannot cultivate top civil servants is the military merit system, and there is another reason. In the middle level, or even in the middle and upper levels, it doesn't matter if there are more or less from each country. But for the top people, there are only a few in each era.
If the Qin State has one more, the countries in Guandong will have one less. Therefore, the Qin State specially sets aside a position to attract talents from all countries, in order to achieve the purpose of weakening all countries."
"The Qin State is ruthless. When these people lose their use value, they will be expelled. Gan Mao, Zhang Yi, Tian Wen, and Wei Ran were all expelled by the Qin State, and Shang Yang was even torn apart by a chariot." Han Fei snorted coldly,
Said disdainfully.
Qin is South Korea's great enemy, and Han Fei has studied Qin a lot over the years. Being strong is really strong, and being ruthless is really ruthless. Except for the chess player at the top, everyone else is like a chess piece, which will be discarded when it loses its use value.
Lost.
Although other countries have done this kind of thing, no country has done it like Qin every time, and it has almost formed a system.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Kuo in unison, feeling somewhat happy in their hearts.
At least for now, Zhao Kuo is not a ruthless person, otherwise he would never change the minister's fiefdom to Hetao.
It seems to be far away from the prosperity of the Central Plains, but it is not a kind of protection for the ministers.
Let's stay far away from each other. You don't have to be wary of me, and I don't have to be wary of you. Everyone can rest assured. Besides, the land I gave you is not bad. If you develop it well, it will develop in one generation.
For ordinary people, one generation may be a long time. But for aristocratic families, one generation is nothing at all.
As for whether ambition will arise, that is a matter for the future. Ambition grows with the growth of strength. As long as Zhao is strong, these fiefdoms will have to recognize him as the suzerain state.
If the State of Zhao is weak...even if these people don't have fiefdoms, they will still rebel.
At least 800 in Zhou Dynasty, and none of those later exceeded 300, right?
As for the eternal dynasty, Zhao Kuo didn't think about it anymore.
As time changes, no matter how good the system is, it is useless. The only thing that can last is people. It does not need to be a wise king from generation to generation. Even if there is a wise king every other generation, the dynasty can continue.
But how is it possible? Even if your ancestral grave is burned, nothing good will happen to you.
So Zhao Kuo was very open-minded.
If we build more foundation now, we can survive for a few more days when our children and grandchildren are unfilial, but we won't be able to deal with other things as much.
"I am lucky." Xunzi said with a smile.
He said this with two meanings. One is that Zhao Kuo is not that ruthless, and the other is that he is much older than Zhao Kuo. Under normal circumstances, he will definitely die in front of Zhao Kuo. No matter how ruthless the monarchs behind him are, they will not be as ruthless as him.
It doesn't matter anymore.
"Yes, we are lucky." Lu Zhonglian nodded.
"Is it possible for General Lian Po to kill Bai Qi?" Gongsun Long brought the topic back to the battlefield.
Lian Po showed no mercy. He had always been crushed when facing Bai Qi before. Now he finally tasted the feeling of crushing Bai Qi. It was really satisfying. Bai Qi's hair crown fell somewhere, his hair was a little messy and his body was covered in blood.
, looked very embarrassed, in sharp contrast to the high-spirited Lian Po.
"It's difficult." Xunzi shook his head. Although Bai Qi was severely injured, if Lian Po couldn't kill him in a short time, the longer the time, the smaller the possibility of killing him.
Although the Qin army was defeated, it did not collapse. Even if it lost command, it was still retreating in an orderly manner.
"Hey, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill Bai Qi again." Gongsun Long sighed.
More than half of the families in the Three Jin and Chu Kingdoms had relatives die at Bai Qi's hands. It can be said that there are few people who do not look forward to Bai Qi's death.
That is to say, there are no firecrackers in this era, otherwise we will die in vain. Even if we are hungry and have no money to eat, we still have to save money to buy two firecrackers to celebrate.
"We are relatively good, but the people of Han, Wei and Chu hate Bai Qi to the core." Xunzi said.
What he didn't know was that after Bai Qi massacred Zhao's 400,000 troops in history, Zhao was much more hated than other countries.
Han Fei remained silent. Before Qin occupied Hedong, although he and Zhao continued to fight, they mainly fought for the land above the river. It was far away from the centers of Qin and Zhao, so the struggle was not fierce. It was not until after the occupation of Hedong that the two sides
National talents have launched a real competition.
But South Korea is different. Over the years, South Korea has been suppressed by Qin every day. In the past, it could still rely on Zhao Wei. Later, the relationship between the three Jin Dynasties broke down. Not only did these two guys not help South Korea, they also added insult to injury and turned against South Korea.
In desperation, South Korea could only rely on Qin, and then Qin took the opportunity to ask for land, and after asking for land, it would beat South Korea again.
It can be said that apart from exterminating Zheng, South Korea was either beaten or on the way to being beaten.
