Tian Dan's method resulted in less bloodshed, but when the court issued notices in the future, the nobles still chose to ignore them as before. Did the court have to kill a group of people every time as a warning?
As Tian Dan said, only blood can make people remember.
Xunzi can guarantee that after this incident, as long as the court issues another notice, no one will dare to ignore it.
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he reacted instantly and his expression softened a lot. Zhao Bao's reaction was a little slower, but he understood what Xunzi meant.
"I think it is necessary to send someone to take charge of this matter." Lin Xiangru said.
He planned to use this incident to announce Zhao's determination to reform to the people of the country.
"We can't spare any manpower now." Wei Wuji said. The shelves of the Five Dukes and Twelve Ministers have been set up, but for the subordinate officials below, a series of divisions have not yet begun. Many powers are in chaos. One person must
There are so many things to deal with, where can we free up our manpower?
"It's better to let young people do it." Tian Dan said.
"That's okay." Lin Xiangru nodded, "It's time for the young people to go out and practice."
"Then recommend one." Wei Wuji said.
"Li Si." Yu Xin glanced at Xunzi, and Xunzi nodded. Although Li Si was still in the learning stage, it was time to accumulate experience.
Learning and practice are not incompatible.
As for the difficulty of this matter and the fact that it would offend many people, Xunzi did not consider it.
The growth of a genius requires riding on the wind and waves. He did not think that these things could stump Li Si.
Soon, Li Si was called over. After reading all the case summaries, his first sentence was: "How many to kill?"
Wei Wuji raised his head and glanced at Li Si, silently marking in his heart: ruthless man!
"All/Kill as little as possible!" Tian Dan and Zhao Sheng said at the same time.
"My subordinate understands." Li Si said with clasped fists, picked up all the cases related to loan lending and left the hall.
"What does your disciple understand? To kill or not to kill?" Lin Xiangru looked at Xunzi and said with a smile.
"Although he is ruthless, he is also smooth enough. There will be blood here, but not too much." Xunzi shook his head and said, if no one suppressed Li Si, Li Si might be unscrupulous, but as long as someone can suppress him, Li Si
It will be done perfectly.
"It may not be effective if you kill too little." Tian Dan said.
Zhao Sheng glared at Tian Dan fiercely.
Xunzi smiled. He said it wouldn’t be too much, but he didn’t say it would be less!
"I heard that Xunzi has recently accepted a few more disciples?" Wei Wuji changed the subject. Anyway, the matter has been arranged for someone to handle it, so just wait for the result.
"I met a few good seedlings, and I gave them some pointers." Xunzi said with a smile.
Although Xunzi was ostracized by Confucianism, we have to admit that Xunzi's ability to teach his disciples was far superior to those of the great Confucians. Whether it was Li Si and Han Fei who he taught before, or Fu Qiubo, Mao Heng, and Chen Qi who he taught in recent months.
He is from the State of Zhao, and he is a rare talent in the world.
There is certainly a reason for this because they have good talents, but Xunzi can teach students according to their aptitude, teach Han Fei, Li Si's legal system, Fuqiu Boren and etiquette, teach Mao Heng poetry, and teach Chen Qi and military use. Everyone can learn from Xunzi
What you want. This is very scary.
There are thousands of talented people in the world, but not one can do this.
"If I remember correctly, Xunzi's talent can clearly see a person's qualifications and the direction of training." Yu Xin said suddenly.
When everyone heard this, their eyes all focused on Xunzi. This talent...may not be much in a short time, but after ten or twenty years, Xunzi's disciples will grow up and become extremely terrifying, even the monarch will be afraid of him.
These people who are trained need positions to accommodate them, and most of these positions are monopolized by the nobles. It doesn't matter if there are just one or two, but if more talents are trained, it will definitely offend the entire nobles.
Xunzi obviously also discovered this, so he rarely accepted disciples over the years. When he met those who sincerely asked for advice, he only gave some advice to minimize others' fear of him.
Yu Xin was one of the few people who knew about his talent. The two had a very good relationship, and they also knew the impact this incident would have. Yu Xin had been keeping Xunzi's secret for so many years, and I don't know why it was revealed now.
Xunzi looked at Yu Xin with some warmth and anger.
"It's time for you to go all out. In the future, Zhao State will need not just one or two talents, but thousands of talents. Don't worry about not having positions. As long as you can train them, Zhao State will have enough positions for them."
Yu Xin said.
In fact, needless to say about the future, even now, there are a lot of vacancies in the middle and lower levels of Zhao State. Before these vacancies are filled, even if some people are unhappy with Xunzi, they will not take action to kill Xunzi.
"Yes, it's time for Xunzi to use his full strength." At this time, Zhao Kuo walked in from outside and said with a smile.
"Meet the king." When everyone saw Zhao Kuo, they all stood up and saluted.
"No courtesy." Zhao Kuo waved his hand casually. When Han Fei and Li Si became apprentices, Xunzi had used his talents, but he did not tell everyone in detail. Although Zhao Kuo had some guesses, he was not sure until he was outside just now.
Hear what Yu Xin said.
However, he could also understand Xunzi's prudent self-preservation. The influence of this talent was too great, and it might directly offend the middle and high-level officials of the entire country.
Just like when Confucius traveled around the world with his disciples, there was a huge group of people, sometimes dozens of people, sometimes hundreds of people. Which country would dare to take them in? Which country would have so many official positions to take them in?
After being taken in, Confucius's disciples were distributed in various places. From now on, will the country listen to the king or Confucius?
Therefore, wherever Confucius went, every country rejected him.
"Our country of Zhao needs a lot of talents. In addition to officials, doctors, farmers, craftsmen, mathematics, etc. all need a lot of talents. No matter how many talents Xunzi cultivates, there will never be too many people." Zhao Kuo said.
.
In the future, if Zhao State wants to unify the world, it will not only need the upper level, but also countless middle levels to pass on their systems and decrees to every place in the world.
The consequence of not having enough middle-level officials is to compromise with the local people. Just like when Zhao Guo just acquired Yecheng and Jixi, for the sake of stability, the original officials could only continue to serve.
It's not that Zhao Guo wanted to do this, it was just a helpless compromise.
After Zhao Guotang took action, he immediately removed those disobedient officials and replaced them with his own people.
If Zhao had sufficient reserves at that time, there would be no need to do this.
Talents can not be cultivated in a day or two, but can take several years or even more than ten years. As long as the Zhao State sets the goal of unifying the world, it must lay a solid foundation from now on to avoid being like the Great Qin Empire in history.
Shooting stars streaked across the night sky, brilliant yet short-lived.
