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.
"We can't spare any manpower right 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 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 please 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 were killed?"
Wei Wuji raised his head and glanced at Li Si, silently making a note in his heart: Cruel man!
"All/kill as few as possible!" Tian Dan and Zhao Sheng said at the same time.
"I understand," Li Si said, clasping his fists, picking up all the documents related to loan lending and leaving 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.
"If you kill too little, it may not be effective." 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 prospects, and I gave them some advice." 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 had taught in recent months. He is from the State of Zhao, and he is a rare talent in the world.
Of course, there is a reason for their good talents, but Xunzi was able to teach students according to their aptitude, teaching Han Fei and Li Si the legal system, Fuqiu Boren and etiquette, Mao Heng's poetry, and Chen Qi and the use of weapons. Everyone can learn from Xunzi Want something. This is very scary.
There are thousands of capable 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 matter, so he rarely accepted disciples over the years, and when he met those who sincerely asked for advice, he only gave some guidance.
Point one or two, try to reduce other people's fear of him.
Yu Xin is one of the few people who knows about his talent. The two have a very good relationship, and they also know the impact this incident will have. Yu Xin has been keeping Xunzi's secret for so many years, but 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 give your best. 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 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 has so many official positions?
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, mathematicians, etc. all need a lot of talents. No matter how many talents Xunzi cultivates, a few people are never too many." Zhao Kuo said .
In the future, if Zhao State wants to unify the world, it will not only need the upper class, but also countless middle-level people 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 for 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 has set 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.
