Chapter 50 Wei Yang Enters Qin
Instead of blaming them, Duke Xiao of Qin took out money from the already tight treasury and gave it to them as travel expenses.
The rest of the people continued to talk with Duke Xiao.
When someone asked Duke Xiaogong of Qin which doctrine should be used to govern the Qin State, Duke Xiaogong said frankly that the Qin State seeks practicality rather than empty talk, and any doctrine would be fine as long as it can make the Qin State rich and powerful.
This made many famous scholars very happy. Some of those who had left came back, and King Xiaogong still treated them with courtesy.
Qin Sheng had only seen such a humble and generous king in ancient history books, but such a king had not appeared in history books for a long time.
If the person mentioned above had half the humility and magnanimity of Qin Xiaogong, Dashun might have become a powerful country.
Now that it has become a powerful country, is it far from becoming an empire?
Qin Sheng sighed inwardly. Every time he wrote a book for Chu Yian, he couldn't calm down. He couldn't help but compare the above person with Qin Xiaogong.
The more he compared them, the more he felt that the one above was a mediocre person. Not only was he a mediocre person, but he was also extremely suspicious and killed loyal and good people. He was not even as good as the corner of Qin Xiaogong's clothes.
If he were asked to issue a call for talents like the one issued by Qin Xiaogong, it would probably cost him his life.
After all, in the Order to Seek Talents, Duke Xiao of Qin listed the faults of all the previous emperors.
The current emperor is still brooding over the repentance edict issued by the previous emperor and regards the Qin family as a thorn in his side.
Once compared, it's really like heaven and earth.
The more I compare Qin Sheng, the more I feel that an emperor like Qin Xiaogong may only exist in history books and dreams.
If he were lucky enough to meet such a king in his lifetime, why would he degrade himself to this extent?
When the three-month period arrived, the group of famous scholars who had traveled abroad returned to the capital and offered Qin Xiaogong good advice on how to govern the country.
A large number of bamboo slips covered the table in front of him.
However, Duke Xiao of Qin was greatly disappointed and even had great doubts about the order to seek talents.
It was simple. He had never thought that those celebrities were just ordinary people and had worldly hearts.
Afraid of hardship, fatigue and poverty.
They were asked to travel around Qin for three months, but they just stayed around the county government. Are the strategies for governing Qin offered by such people really useful?
Is this really the behavior that a great person should have when governing the country?
As expected, a strong Qin has to rely on itself. Famous people are hard to find, masters are hard to come by, and talents who can turn the tide are even harder to come by.
Duke Xiao of Qin no longer had any hope in those famous scholars who came from other countries. He decided to plan his own way to strengthen Qin.
With Qin Xiaogong's ability, even if he could not make Qin strong, he could ensure that Qin would not become weak under his leadership.
So he worked harder and expanded his study three times, filling it with all kinds of practical books.
But at this moment, a servant came to report that Jing Jian wanted to see him and strongly recommended someone to him, Wei Yang.
Duke Xiao of Qin took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Wei Yang and asked him for his best advice on governing the country with an extremely humble attitude.
But Wei Yang gave Qin Xiaogong a long and flowery and irrelevant opening speech, believing that the kingly way of governing the country was the highest.
Even Jing Jian, who recommended him, was confused.
Many people present even dozed off, and Qin Xiaogong's attitude became a little cold. He asked him what the kingly way of governing a country was.
Wei Yang began to talk again, but Duke Xiao interrupted him and said that he would listen to his talk again later before leaving.
Jing Jian introduced Wei Yang to Duke Xiao, but Wei Yang behaved like this when he met Duke Xiao. Jing Jian felt ashamed and embarrassed.
But he still gritted his teeth and quickly introduced Wei Yang to Duke Xiao for the second time.
The last time they met, Duke Xiao was very displeased with what Wei Yang said, but Jing Jian strongly recommended him, so he still went.
After he went there, he heard Wei Yang's messy remarks and even offered a plan to destroy the country to King Xiaogong.
It made Jing Jian want to curse.
I don't want to bother with Wei Yang anymore.
Wei Yang excitedly told Jing Jian that he had almost succeeded, and asked Jing Jian to help him meet Qin Xiaogong again.
Jing Jian really couldn't understand Wei Yang's behavior, but Wei Yang told him that since ancient times, wise rulers have sought out talented people and selected their ministers, but ministers also require wise rulers to choose their ministers.
If Qin Xiaogong regarded what he said before as the way to govern the country, it means that Qin Xiaogong was also a mediocre person and was not worthy of Wei Yang's service to govern the Qin State.
Only after testing can we know how talented Qin Xiaogong is.
Jing Jian was persuaded and once again spoke for Wei Yang.
Chu Yian was still very excited when he talked about this. He was about to talk about Wei Yang's good strategies for governing the country and couldn't stop at all.
Qin Sheng couldn't stop either. Chu Yian's description of Wei Yang's meeting with Qin Xiaogong was too brilliant, including virtuous governance, benevolent governance, and various strategies for governing the country.
He didn't know where this girl read so many books and knew so much.
He was able to integrate it into the story, which not only made the story more logical and easier to read, but also allowed him to learn a lot.
The first part is fine. If you look up historical books and think about it yourself, and then expand your thinking, it is actually not difficult to write it down.
The next step in governing the country is the real difficulty.
After all, I really have to write something down. If I just say a few vague sentences, it will be difficult to explain.
Without real talent and knowledge, it is difficult to write an executable, organized policy that can actually govern the country.
Qin Sheng was really curious, and he also wanted to know where Chu Yian would look up the classics to find suitable policies for governing the country to quote.
He thought about it and realized that many of the state governance strategies used by previous emperors could be used here, but he didn't know which ones Chu Yian would choose.
My mind is always full of various thoughts, but it is getting late, and Qin Sheng feels that it is enough to write so much today.
It’s better to go to bed early.
So, in the face of Chu Yian's high spirits, he calmly put down his pen and looked at her: "Go to bed, it's too late."
Chu Yian: ...
You are talking excitedly, what are you doing?
Chu Yian pursed his lips, looked at Qin Sheng's face and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Qin Sheng: "...Yeah, I'm sleepy."
Chu Yian frowned, a little unwilling: "Can't you hold on a little longer?"
Qin Sheng: ...
He could endure it, but Chu Yian was only in his teens. If he wanted to endure it today, he would want to endure it tomorrow too.
Staying up all night long, I’m afraid my body can’t stand it.
Qin Sheng nodded and yawned: "I'm tired. I won't endure it anymore. We will continue tomorrow."
Chu Yian said "oh" reluctantly and said "okay".
Qin Sheng was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood what kind of person Chu Yian was.
When I'm lazy, I'm really lazy. When I'm motivated, I want to get things done even if I have to stay up late.
But Qin Sheng felt that there should be a lot more to the book, and it was very long, and it would not be finished in three or two months.
If this is the case, it is better to rest early.
He should try to find time to come back and write with her in the future. There is no need to fight for the time at night and ruin his health.
PS: I have written a lot of historical knowledge. I would like to ask if it affects your reading. If it does, I will write less later or just briefly touch upon it.
