Chapter 137: The Hundred Times of Gold and Jade Paradox (5)

Some things can be said to spies, some things cannot be said, and some things are useless.

The affairs of Xihe, the affairs of the ink man, and the affairs of Qin Gongzi, Wu Qi had his own plans in his heart.

He said that small talents are not necessarily inferior to big talents, not casually, but with their own considerations.

He is considered a ruler in Xihe, so he doesn't need "rulers" such as Mo Zhai and Yu Huali to come to Xihe.

These people do have great talents, but their talents are great enough to make policies rather than just implement them, which means that unless they agree with Wu Qi's views on the interests of the world, it is impossible to talk about them, let alone use them.

What Wu Qi needed was batch after batch of grassroots officials, and he didn't need them to understand the world, interests, origins, and so on, as long as they could implement the set policies.

Draw the gourd in the same way...... It sounds very simple, but when such people are really needed, Wu Qi deeply feels that there are too few such people, and this matter is too difficult, and it is definitely not as simple as it sounds.

Wu Qi knew that the talents of Mo Zhai and others, including the appropriate talents that had just become famous, Xiongwen Grass Silk New Valley and other things that had been transmitted to Wei Di, Wu Qi recognized them, and they were quite recognized.

But it is precisely because these people are so talented that they have their own understanding of the world and its interests, and have formed their own set of concepts to explain the world, so they cannot be used and cannot be used.

On the contrary, those who do not have too many talents, but can abide by the discipline of the ink master, can implement the rules of the ink master, and have learned some words, are what he wants the most.

For the time being, Wei does not need to be handsome, what is needed is officials and soldiers.

Regarding the various news from Jiao He, a spy in Peidi, Wu Qi did not doubt the authenticity of these news.

After being surprised, he didn't have much vigilance against Mozhi, but he was wary of Qin Gongzilian, who had fled to live in Weidu.

Lao Dan once said: When the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he died; When the corporal heard this, he laughed. It's not enough not to laugh.

No matter how he evaluates it, in terms of ability alone, Wu Qi can undoubtedly be called a sergeant, so he can see farther than ordinary people.

He believed that the things that the Moshi did in Peidi were true, that the things of the harvest could be done to that extent, that the importance of the meaning of the grass silk calligraphy, and that the connotation of the art of governance hidden in the numbers was difficult for ordinary people to touch...... Even believing in the inferences about the so-called Promised Land is reasonable.

But what's the use?

Wu Qi believes that the Mohist has a wrong understanding of the world, a wrong understanding of human nature, and a wrong understanding of the root of power.

is like a fast horse, a thousand miles of horse that Bole fancies, but it should be to the north, but it gallops to the south.

Even if you are faster than any other horse, it is still impossible to achieve your goal.

It's like the so-called sage of the ink master, which is excellent, but what is considered a virtuous person?

It's like the so-called synonym of the upper and lower in the Mo, which is excellent, but what is this meaning of the same?

In the matter of Shangxian's selection of officials, Wu Qi very much agreed with Jiao He's statement about the trial method of Shangxian after the appearance of straw silk.

There are a lot of ink writers' remarks in it, but as long as you remove those remarks, you can not only listen to them, but also use them.

He had already seen it in Anyi.

We have also seen the simplified standard characters that can be split into eight strokes of any word.

Because the inkers have relied on the shops, the merchants, or the local inkers, to spread those things.

Overnight, the people of Anyi, each chanting "green, take from the blue and better than the blue; Ice and water are cold for it......"

The few pieces of straw silk that have been passed here also confirm the future of those ink masters.

Characters that can be broken down into eight strokes are also more convenient than the original text.

Combined with the method of how to be virtuous and how to select talents in the future, it is completely possible to imagine a colorful, grounded and detailed future.

But Wu Qi felt that the ink master was too stupid, so stupid that he really wanted to benefit the world.

But I forgot that there was a master named Zhongni, and Zhongni had a disciple named Zixia, Zixia came to Xihe, and Xihe gave rise to a school, and the school also has its own understanding of the world through the world, and this school has been rooted for a long time and is full of talents.

Straw ink can be used, eight-stroke ink can be used, but others can also use it.

A sword can kill or save people, the key is who holds it in his hand.

The Zixia school had already taken root in Xihe, and if it could ask for the method of making the straw silk of the ink master, and adopt the way of the ink master to teach his disciples, there would be no stagnation.

Synonymous, of course, it must be synonymous, but what is this righteousness?

Shang Xian, of course, Shang Xian, but how can he be considered a Xian?

If you don't believe in the righteousness of the ink, you can also use straw silk, eight-stroke characters, selection tests, and cropping methods......

Wei is the only state that may use the seemingly "fantastical" way of selecting and cultivating officials today.

Because Wei was the only country with a school that was close to the government, at least at this time, and the schools of thought were basically unified, with only a few differences.

This is exactly what Moshi calls "synonymous". It's just that it is the same as the righteousness of "Zixia's Confucianism", not the righteousness of "Mo".

As long as this "righteousness" is ensured, then the selected sages must also agree with the policies of the Wei people, and at the same time can become good officials.

And what the ink man wants to benefit the world is too difficult, and it is impossible to achieve it in Wu Qi's opinion.

Therefore, Wu Qi was not worried that those who were far away and did things that could make him, Ximen Leopard, Duan Ganmu, Li Kui, and even Wei Hou amazed and admired could threaten his ambitions and threaten Wei's hegemony.

On the contrary, the continuous spread of things for the sake of "benefiting the people of the world" will only make Wei stronger.

As for whether it is non-offensive ...... It depends on the king's thoughts, but would an ambitious king do such a thing? And why should a king without ambition be virtuous?

Therefore, Wu Qi is not vigilant and worried about the Mo, because the Moji's understanding of the world and the equality of people is simply the indecent of the world, and it is impossible for the king to believe it.

Is it possible to accomplish things without the support of the king?

Wu Qi thought that this could not be done, and he would not have been able to do anything without Weiss's support.

If you can't do it, what are you worried about?

On the contrary, Wu Qi was full of vigilance about Qin Gongzilian's rebellion against Shengqiu.

He had his own opinions, and he was sure that he had to tell Wei Hou about this matter as soon as possible.

Because he is the Xihe Shou, the enemy he faces is the Qin State, so he is more vigilant than others.

It is not a secret that Gongzi Qin even reined in Sheng Xuan and other rebels, especially after the Wei people personally hired Sheng Xuan but were refused.

Rebel Mo will not talk about righteousness and injustice.

But Weiss also employs people with multiple talents and light virtues, eating his son, killing his wife, ignoring his son's death and hatred, and being a scoundrel in the market...... can all be in Wei Mingsha.

Moreover, Wu Qi and Li Kui said that Wei Si really wanted to recruit Sheng Xuan and others, just like when he recruited Duan Ganmu.

But those rebels refused, and instead took refuge in Qin Gongzilian, who now seemed hopeless.

Wu Qi knew that although the Qin people were repeatedly defeated and lost the West River, the Qin people were a country of thousands of miles after all, and they had also become a hegemon, and the surrounding situation was not as sinister as that of Song Zheng - if they were not in the land of four wars, as long as they seized the opportunity, there would always be a chance to rise.

It can be said that Wei Si is full of vigilance about the Qin State, otherwise he would not have put a great talent like Wu Qi in Xihe.

Qin Gongzi, who was kind to fleeing at the beginning, also had this consideration.

In the rebellion of Jin Liuqing, many of the losers of the Zhi clan fled to the Qin State, and whether Wei Si and the Qin people had the kind of relationship between Qin and Jin that was cut and unorganized, there was not much reason to take in Gongzilian.

As long as there is an opportunity in the future, he can send Gongzi to Qin and support a pro-Wei vassal regime.

The Qin people are not stupid, and every Qin monarch hopes to change the situation in which the nobles are chaotic and can even depose the king and force the king to commit suicide.

The power of the monarchy and the power of the nobility is the biggest contradiction, even if the current Qin Jun wins the mourning son and comes to power in a coup d'état.

When he was offstage, he naturally hoped that the power of the nobles would be great and that the power of the king would be small; When it comes to the stage, it is inevitable to hope that the power of the king is great and the power of the nobility is small.

Now that the Qin people have been defeated one after another, and when they no longer return to Mu Gong, the monarch of Qin has also made some reforms.

In order to counter the situation caused by the private land system in Xihe and the return of the Qin people in Xihe and the flight of a large number of Qin people to the Wei State, the Qin State has also begun to levy a private mu tax: the legitimacy of those private fields is legally recognized, and this matter is unresolved, and the monarch can at any time clean up those big nobles who have a large amount of private land for the sake of destroying the Jingtian ritual system - it is one thing to dare to do it, and it is another thing to have an excuse to do it.

Not only was the reform of the private mu tax, but the hierarchy of the Qin people also loosened slightly. Originally, carrying a sword was only the privilege of the nobles, but Ying Mourning Zi still opened a hole in the hierarchy on the grounds that the Qin people were good at fighting privately and needing the sword to defend themselves.

The untouchable class of the Qin State can finally wear swords, and whether they can afford them is one thing, and it is another thing that they are not qualified to wear swords when they are born.

This kind of reform caused some worries among the Wei people.

But in Wu Qi's view, there is no need to worry at all.

Even if the Qin people reformed, they would have to fight against the slaughter and bloodshed of the old nobles first, and it would not be possible to succeed in a short period of time.

Even if it is reformed, then where are there so many virtuous grassroots officials?

The Qin people were located in the west, and their strategy of advancing east to suppress Jin and south to Bashu failed in a hundred years, completely blocking the connection with the Central Plains.

Wei is located in the Central Plains, and travelers from all over the world can easily come to Wei, which is the basis for the Wei State to change, a new class independent of the old aristocracy and without huge family power.

Wu Qi, Le Yang, Duan Ganmu, and so on, all of them, will naturally side with the king against the nobles who are holding back—because they have nothing but the king's trust, and they can and can only stand on the side of strengthening the king's power.

These people, as Wu Qi called "rulers", fought against those nobles who "kept the old government".

Of course, some "executors" are also needed to serve as grassroots officials, so as to improve the distribution of power after the Wei State changed the law.

Zixia left a huge legacy for the Wei State when he was in Xihe: the Xihe School made the Wei State the cultural center of the Three Jin Dynasty, constantly relying on lectures to produce an endless stream of grassroots officials.

Even if Ying Mourning wants to change now, and it seems that he has done two things that seem to be ambitious, but in the eyes of the high-level of Wei, this is still very early.

Compete with the old aristocracy for power and train a large number of new grassroots officials.

The two complement each other: without enough low-level officials such as scholars and down-and-out nobles, there is no way to fight against the old aristocracy. If the struggle for power with the old nobles was not successful, the king would not be able to promote a large number of new nobles.

Qin Liguo is not early, but at least earlier than Wei, who has just been crowned a marquis this year.

The rebellion of Jin Liuqing has been killed for so long, and the nobles of Wei have just gained a foothold, and they have not yet formed a deep-rooted and unshakable group, and there is no old aristocracy to hinder them, so it is easier for the three Jin Dynasty to change the law.

But the aristocracy of the Qin State is too powerful, and it can't be compared with the Three Jin Dynasty at all.

The Wei State changed the law, which seemed simple but not bloody, because the aristocratic class of the Wei State was not yet formed, so it could bypass this stage of life and death. However, Wei can get around, but Qin can't.

After you live and die, there will be plenty of wanderers, a huge number of taxis against the Dafuqing family, and down-and-out nobles.

and, a steady stream of grassroots officials.

None of these Qin states were there.

However, Wu Qi knew that Sheng Xuan and the others had rebelled against Mo and took refuge in Gongzilian.

Wu Qi still recognizes his talent. At that time, Qilu fought, the two fought four battles, Wu Qi won two draws and two draws, although one weak Lu Yi was strong Qi, but Wu Qi thought that people who could draw with themselves were quite rare.

Moreover...... The talent of the ink master is not only a field battle, but even a part of the "decisive battle against the city" in the defense of the city.

Wu Qi felt that it was impossible to succeed in the righteousness of the ink people, so he could not be wary of those ink people who were not rebellious.

However, these people have already betrayed the righteousness of the Mo and Wu Qi, and it seems that there is no need to be wary of the Mo Shi's reason......

The Qin state lacked a group of travelers who depended on the king to fight against the old nobles.

The Qin State lacked a "Xihe School" belonging to the Qin State to train grassroots officials.

Wu Qi knew that the Qin State had nothing now.

But what if one day the son is connected to Qin?

This part of the rebellion into the Qin can only rely on the king to fight against the old nobles to gain power.

This part of the rebellion into the Qin can completely establish the Qin people's own "Xihe School", remove the righteousness of the ink people, and a new school of Shiwu, Ming Ling, respect the law, and the same as above.

Wu Qi was worried that the Qin people would have everything in the future.

He had to say two things to the Marquis of Wei.

First, continue to send people to Peiyi, begging those who study ink to benefit the world, and even hire some people with a hundred gold.

Second, find a way to solve the possibility of the rise of the Qin people. Either continue to suppress the Qin people, completely let the Qin collapse and then go south and east; Either...... Give up the illusion of Childe Lian.
