Zhao Si probably understood.
The so-called recruitment of retainers is not just job recruitment.
In this era, it was normal for the scholar class to handle the chores at home for themselves, and in the past, nobles had the right to grant official positions.
As for recommending them as officials because of their outstanding performance, in essence, the moment they leave, the two are separated from the relationship between retainers.
When the support relationship ends and the person who pays wages changes, the relationship between retainers and clients also ends.
As the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, society was undergoing a huge change in every aspect.
"So the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty actually failed to keep up with the changes of the times. I am now in the middle class. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I was the Qing Dynasty. Then I will have a fiefdom that belongs entirely to me. At the very least, there is a county. In addition to accepting the monarch's military dispatches and paying taxes, all the officials and administrative powers of this entire county belong to me.
The jobs I can provide range from county magistrates to petty officials. I also have independent rights in the military... In other words, I can provide hundreds of jobs for the scholar class. It is no wonder that the nobles supported them during that period. There are so many diners, it is really business needs, and the power is too great.
With the unification of the world, the political rights and military autonomy of the nobility were completely deprived, and the jobs that could be provided were the management of slaves at home, property management, and business communication, and the jobs were greatly reduced..."
Now that Zhao Si has no customers, the main reason why he doesn't have any worries is because he wants to lie down, and secondly, he really doesn't need too many people.
If he were an upright minister a few hundred years ago, and he didn't have enough retainers to share his burden, he would have had a lot of things to do.
Is your fiefdom managed or not, and your subjects managed? The monarch asks you to send troops to fight. Are there any soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives for you?
In that era, when the monarch called for war, the nobles under his command had to send troops. Unlike now, when the country initiates military service, you only need to go and lead the troops to fight.
"If I remember correctly, apart from the land granted to you by His Majesty, you didn't buy any property, right?" Li Si asked.
Zhao Si nodded. Zhao Si's current wealth indeed depends entirely on rewards, and he has almost no business activities.
"In this case, it's really time to recruit a few customers to run your family business." Li Si nodded and didn't take it to heart.
"Running a family is like running a country. Although it is an old saying, it seems to be somewhat untrue now. However, when accepting retainers, you still need to distinguish carefully. If you have talented retainers, your family will become richer day by day. If you have talented retainers, your family will only become richer. Decline requires not only careful selection, but also corresponding management measures. We cannot let them just rely on their own consciousness..."
Li Si began to talk.
"Then what if I just want to provide support..." Zhao Si scratched his head.
To be honest, he has no idea of buying property.
Just kidding, the money is too much to spend.
"You want to recommend an official?" Li Si understood immediately.
In this era, the purpose of recruiting followers is either to keep them for one's own use, or to recommend officials and cultivate one's own power.
It's not a big deal, it's the norm in this day and age.
The current Great Qin still focuses on recommending officials. There is no way. The world is too big, and the way to train lower-level Qin officials is expensive and laborious, and it is a bit unworkable.
Either be recommended for an official position, or work your way up from the Qin officialdom. There is no other way.
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty is rushing to put it on the shelf. To adapt to the eviction order, I must have some trustworthy manpower." Zhao Si spread his hands.
After this grand tour of the world, most of the relocation orders will begin to be implemented, and Zhao Si cannot fight alone.
Zhao Si is still kept in the dark. Although he can use Li Si's help to mobilize Qin officials, as the main person in charge of this kind of matter, Zhao Si cannot rely solely on Li Si for personnel transfers.
Now that the First Emperor has named him, Zhao Si doesn't want to just be a mascot.
"Where did you recruit the customers from? What are their talents?" Li Si became interested after hearing the eviction order.
If I remember correctly, what did Zhao Si say?
Good at knowing people? It’s also coming from Biber.
Li Si remembered that he had made fun of Zhao Si.
Bole is the one who looks at horses, Zhao Si is the one who looks at people!
"There are very few people you can find among the fields and ridges who started from humble beginnings but have no shortage of courage and are not afraid of life and death." Zhao Si said.
It's still worth being happy to get two friends who can be divided into pieces.
It's just difficult to place them and cultivate them.
"In this case, you can ask them to assist you when handling government affairs. When dispatching troops and generals, let them accompany you. Teach them by words and deeds, and those who are talented will naturally gain something." Li Si said.
"That's embarrassing. I am accompanying His Majesty, and they can't also follow His Majesty." Zhao Si spread his hands.
There was no way, the First Emperor needed him Zhao Si so much that he had no time to train his men.
"The Black Ice Platform has been established now. It can also be placed on the Black Ice Platform." Li Si gave another suggestion.
"No, the promotion path of Heibingtai is independent. If the relocation order is implemented in the future, they have to be my assistant and cannot stay at Heibingtai." Zhao Si shook his head again.
Li Si had a smile on his face.
Can he still understand Zhao Si?
After this kid understood it, he made it clear that he wanted to contribute and help him train his subordinates.
Li Si, I don’t mind.
In other words, Li Si also wanted to see how capable Zhao Si was, and also wanted to see whether Zhao Si was worthy of the title of Bole.
"In this case, if you can trust me, then hand over your retainers to me. His Majesty is patrolling the world and the government affairs are busy, and I am short of manpower." Li Si smiled.
"Shan..." Zhao Si asked the donkey to get off the slope.
Finally, he got civil servant positions for his two retainers, and he was worthy of being called the lord of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
There is no obstacle to being trained under Li Si, at least their salary is still paid by Zhao Si.
After understanding the customer system, Zhao Si realized that he might not have so many suitable jobs to package so many talents.
After all, times have changed, and today's nobles are not as good as before, and they cannot afford such high wages.
Zhao Si could only take the public's attention and seek personal gain.
If you can't provide it yourself, then let Da Qin provide it. Anyway, in the end, this group of people will go to Da Qin's court. I, Zhao Si, am dedicated to serving the public, so I don't need to be so clear about this kind of thing.
Especially in this era when recommending officials is officially recognized, this is the right granted by the court to officials and nobles.
"That's good. If I meet any talents again in the future, I will have to nag Mr. Li to trouble him." Zhao Si smiled.
"Are you still planning to recruit people from between the fields?" Li Si teased.
"It doesn't have to be between fields. In short, moving your order requires manpower. I can't borrow it all from Prime Minister Li, can I?" Zhao Si said with a smile.
Li Si nodded.
In any case, it is good that Zhao Si has this awareness. At least Zhao Si did not choose to pretend to be a mascot, but really planned to do it himself.
"Bole Xiangma, you have to look carefully." Li Si touched his goatee.
"The younger Bole is done, why don't the older Bole do it again?" Zhao Si didn't care about Li Si's teasing, but instead flattered him.
Anyway, with Li Si taking care of himself and giving him experience, it was only right to flatter him.
"I can't compare myself to Bole..." Li Si waved his hand, but his face was still happy.
It was a good thing that Zhao Si asked for help from him. He also had to rely on Zhao Si to eat and drink at the First Emperor's place to keep fit.
Although the food was not very delicious and the daily exercise was very tiring, being able to repair the relationship with the First Emperor was something that had troubled Li Si for more than ten years.
"Have you ever mentioned moving your order to these two people?" Li Si asked seriously with a smile after accepting Zhao Si's compliment.
"That's not true. I wanted to use this as an entry point to recruit these two people, but unexpectedly, before I opened my mouth, I just said that I wanted to support the disciples, and they readily agreed..." Zhao Si scratched his head.
"Ha...you, Minister Zhao, are well-known now. It is now widely spread that His Majesty went on a killing spree in Dongjun because you were injured...You are so rich, how can the farmers who cultivate between the fields not want to?" Li Si smiled. one time.
"Is the rumor so outrageous?" Zhao Si was stunned.
"It's just country rumors..." Li Si waved his hand.
Damn it, why does this kid Zhao Si look so unaware?
This rumor is not just a rumor among the people, there are also many speculations among officials, and the left prime minister of Great Qin, Li Si...
He can testify that this is probably not a fucking rumor!
When will this kid Zhao Si realize how important he is in the heart of the First Emperor?
Although his heart was full of envy, Li Si still straightened his expression and said: "With your status and power, as long as you treat each other with courtesy, I am afraid there is no one in the world who is unwilling to accept your support and become your disciple. You also You must not recruit clients on the grounds of the imperial relocation order. The imperial relocation order has not yet been implemented and everything is being prepared, so the news must not be leaked."
"Once this move is leaked before its implementation, I am worried that there will be chaos." Li Si said seriously.
Zhao Si looked solemn when he heard this.
From a historical perspective, the talents Zhao Si chose to recruit were all from clean family backgrounds, but Li Si's scruples were not unreasonable.
Da Qin has a lot of things that haven't been done yet, but leaking the news in advance is really troublesome.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me!" Zhao Si straightened his expression.
Things are accomplished through secrets, and failures are revealed through words.
On the other side, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were already full of wine and food, and even a little tipsy.
"Smells, it smells so good!"
Chen Sheng really couldn't maintain his shape, so he half-lyed and half-lyed and spoke with satisfaction.
"It's like a dream..."
"This trip to wealth and honor is worth dying for!"
Wu Guang also sighed after hearing the sound.
"Who says it isn't?"
At the end of the day, if there is a chance to advance, they are not willing to go even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
You know, in the past, even if they wanted to sell their lives, they couldn't pay the price of a meal.
"This life is given to him, Minister Zhao!"
