Chapter 22 The Peerless Two Water Workers
Le Yi was a talented man, and invited him to Qin. The help to Qin was not only lies in running schools, but also in his ability to give Qin a visionary suggestion, which was exactly what Qin State needed to unify the world.
For King Zhao of Qin, who was determined to unify the world, he was very excited. If he hadn't been afraid of being too sudden, King Zhao of Qin would have asked for advice when he saw Le Yi. Now, the etiquette has finally ended, and King Zhao of Qin asked immediately.
Listening to Le Yi's opinion, this is a particularly important thing. Not only King Zhao of Qin is looking forward to it, but also Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Sima Geng, Qin Yiren, Wang Jian, Li Si and Han Fei are looking forward to it, all of whom are staring at Le Yi with wide eyes.
"Before the Changping War, Qin and Zhao confront each other, all had a situation of one day. In the Changping War, Qin won and Zhao was defeated, and Zhao was no longer able to win the world." Le Yi began to analyze and said, "Qin Cao the general trend of the world, and the whole world is just a matter of morning and evening. Le Yi has a saying: First inside and then outside, fight steadily, exercise more benevolence and righteousness, and practice less killing."
First, inside, then outside: This statement coincides with Fan Sui's proposal to suspend the eastward advance and build national strength.
Although Qin was the only one who was the leader and was in control of the world, the power of Shandong was still quite large. If Qin wanted to unify, it would have to be stronger. At least, it would have to recover from the huge consumption of the Changping War.
Therefore, starting from the country and restoring national strength and making Qin stronger became a necessary task.
Stable and steady: Qin is the only one who is strong and has no unified competitor. He can control the world's general trend in his own hands. As long as he does not act too rush, he only needs to seek the word "stability" to wipe out the countries and unify the world.
In history, Qin State fought a series of defeats after the Battle of Changping, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Qin State was once extremely weak and unable to advance eastward because King Zhao of Qin was too eager to achieve success and was too impatient. He wanted to unify the world in his lifetime, regardless of the fact that Qin State consumed too much due to the Battle of Changping. In addition, he accidentally killed Bai Qi, lost the general in command, and made mistakes in diplomatic relations. He did not defeat one by one, which eventually led to the Hezong of Shandong and Qin State losing again and again.
Le Yi's statement that Qin wants stability is too insightful and hits Qin's key points.
Do more benevolence and righteousness, and kill less: This is because the Qin State is going to carry out a war of unity, not a war of hegemony. In a war of hegemony, kill it, burn it, and grab it. Anyway, it is a one-time transaction, what do you do to me?
The war of unity means that the land and cities captured belong to Qin, and the people of the destruction of the country are the people of Qin. Benevolence and righteousness should be the first and make their hearts. If there is too much killing, hatred will accumulate and it will not be convenient for the subsequent governance. Not to mention, this will deplete the vitality of China.
Le Yi is worthy of being a famous talent for all ages. In one sentence, he included all the statements of Fan Sui and Wang Jian, and also pointed out the strategy for Qin, which is to seek stability.
"Okay! Pick!" King Zhao and the others shouted loudly, each with admiration on their faces.
"Sir, I am so planning, and Yingji is like a sudden enlightenment." King Zhao of Qin looked ashamed again and said, "I'm not to be ignorant of the unification, Yingji was too anxious and too impatient for the matter of unification. Fortunately, the Prime Minister and Yiren stopped him, otherwise he would have made a big mistake."
After hearing Le Yi's words, King Zhao of Qin realized that he was too impatient to destroy Shandong.
The reason why King Zhao of Qin was able to face his mistakes was his preciousness. It was precisely because of this that he could have admired the world for decades and made the Qin in Shandong scared to talk about it.
"It is a blessing for Qin to be able to enter Qin!" King Zhao of Qin said happily with a look of joy: "Can you beg the guest?"
Guest officials are equivalent to modern "advisors". They have no actual powers, but they have an important position and can give advice to the king of a country.
In Shandong, the position of a guest official is a false title, which is invited by the king to buy people's hearts and is just a decoration, and it is useless. However, the guest official of Qin is of great importance. Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui have all been guest officials, and in the end, all three of them became prime ministers.
King Zhao of Qin asked Le Yi to be a guest minister, because Le Yi was too old, he would not worship him as prime minister again, but the importance he attached to him was already very obvious.
"If the King of Qin did not dislike Le Yi's old age, Le Yi would be a guest minister of Qin." Le Yi certainly knew the importance of the guest minister of Qin, and King Zhao of Qin was also very sincere and happily accepted the order.
"Haha!" King Zhao of Qin let out a burst of laughter and said, "I would like to ask you to give me some advice."
If Le Yi could plan for Qin, it would be better. King Zhao of Qin was really happy.
"The King of Qin has his own purpose, and Le Yi will definitely not refuse." Le Yi said hurriedly.
"This time I invited Mr. Qin to come to Qin not only to ask Mr. Qin to give me some advice, but also to ask Mr. Qin to do something extremely important." King Zhao of Qin was very pleased.
"What's the matter?" King Zhao of Qin was a generation of great heroes. The big things he said must be a great thing. Le Yi raised his eyebrows and looked solemn.
"School-running hall." King Zhao of Qin gave the answer.
"School building?" Le Yi was stunned.
How big a thing is to run a school? I thought it was a big deal if I had to do it so grandly.
"Mr. It was a mistake that the school that Qin wanted to run was completely different from the school that was run by Zhou Gong and Confucius." King Zhao of Qin knew that Le Yi had misunderstood, and explained, and said to Qin Yiren: "Yiren, this matter is your first initiative, please tell me."
"No." Qin Yiren accepted the order and explained to Le Yi, saying: "Zhou Gong built Mingtang and built Taixue. The beauty of poetry and books made him look like a flower. However, Zhou Gong's Taixue was a little bit bigger. How many talents did he cultivate? The academic museum that Daqin wanted to build was..."
Next, Qin Yiren explained to Le Yi.
"..." After Qin Yiren finished speaking, Le Yi's mouth opened his head and couldn't speak for a long time.
It’s not that there is a problem with Le Yi’s understanding, but on the contrary, he understood it very thoroughly. It was precisely because he understood Qin Yiren’s intention that he was shocked.
"From ancient times, although Zhou Gong built Mingtang, built Taixue, and Confucius educated 3,000 people, it was a small witch compared to the Qin Dynasty's work." After a while, Le Yi stroked his forehead and sighed, "If this matter is done, why worry about not having talents? Why worry about not having any industry or craftsmanship?"
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, reading was a privilege. Only a very small number of people could enjoy this privilege. Zhou Gong built Mingtang, built Taixue, and cultivated scholars for the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, and not many people were trained.
Later, the famous educator Confucius runs the school, "three thousand disciples and seventy two wise men", which has been passed down through the ages because Confucius broke the shackles of reading as a privilege. He is able to accept poor people like Yan Hui to study.
The academic museums that Qin State wanted to run were much larger than Confucius than Zhou Gong, and were more realistic and should be based on practice. If they were really done, Qin State would have a large number of talents and all industries would prosper.
Not to mention doing this kind of thing, it is shocking even if you think about it. Even with Le Yi's talent and mind, it is a shocking moment.
"Okay! This is Le Yi's honor!" Le Yi happily accepted the order.
"Haha! This matter is entrusted to Mr. Yingji to rest assured!" With Le Yi's talent, of course, he would not teach those flashy and pedantic studies like Confucius, and would definitely teach people practical talents. It can be imagined that the talents cultivated by this school will have good talents and practice.
"King of Qin, Le Yi thought that after the school was completed, we should recruit intelligent people from all over the world to study." Le Yi immediately offered his advice.
"It's extreme! It's extreme!" King Zhao of Qin pointed his head and said, "This matter is like a grand ceremony to go to Qin to study. The people who were not hired will be given the gifts of boats and cars."
"Very good! Very good!" Qin Yiren held a ritual for placing a ritual in Handan, and anyone who came to Handan could receive the tram and chariots. This greatly inspired the enthusiasm of scholars. This is an important reason why the tramancy ceremony was successful.
It can be imagined that once implemented, there will be a constant stream of people coming to Qin to study.
"Anyone hired should be treated as an official, not only will they be given food and accommodation for free, but they will also be given a salary." King Zhao of Qin's next words made Le Yi even more excited.
"The King of Qin is such a big deal!" Le Yi was excited and sighed again.
You can not only study, but also receive salary to support your family, so that your family will not be hungry or freeze. This will greatly promote the enthusiasm of students. At the same time, it will inevitably attract real talents.
"This matter is extremely important, I will deal with it now." Le Yi is a thunderous and decisive person, and once he decides, he will take charge of it.
"Sir, wait, I have something to ask you for it." Qin Yiren stopped Le Yi and said, "Sir, since the weakening of the Zhou Dynasty, the world has been in chaos and household registration has been disordered. I don't know the number of people, the geography, mountains and rivers, and the dangers of mountains and rivers, which is not conducive to governance. I want to ask Mr. to take the lead, with Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, to lead a group of knowledgeable and talented people to organize the household registration, mountains and rivers in the world."
This is the basic information for governance. Without this first-hand information, the Qin State would not be able to govern even if it unified the world. Even if it was governed, it would not be realistic.
"The King's Grandson Wang is far-sighted, and Le Yi admires it." Le Yi knew the importance of this matter and agreed happily.
Qin Yiren was able to organize these materials before the War of Unification. This was a far-sighted and far-sighted person, and it was not an exaggeration to praise him no matter how he was.
"Okay! OK! OK!" King Zhao of Qin stroked his white beard and felt extremely relieved.
In this way, Le Yi immediately took charge of running a school and sorting out pictures.

Qin Yiren is working on the mansion of the King of Taisun, with a focused expression.
"Report to the Grandson of the King, a water worker has announced the list." At this moment, Meng Zhao quickly stepped in and reported to Qin Yiren.
"Oh." Qin Yi Ren was excited and stood up suddenly, and smiled: "It seems that the imperial edict is very useful. A water worker will announce the list so soon. OK, okay!"
The matter of water workers is related to the great cause of unification. Qin Yiren has long been hoping that there will be water workers to announce the list.
"The King's Grandson, not one, two." Meng Zhao hurriedly reported.
"Two? Good! The more, the better. What are their names?" Qin Yiren asked hurriedly.
"One is called Li Bing..." Meng Zhao didn't know how much impact this name had on Qin Yiren.
"Li Bing?" Qin Yiren staggered. This is a famous hydraulic worker.
"...A named Zheng Guo." Meng Zhao looked at Qin Yiren who almost stood firm in surprise.
"Zheng Kingdom?" Qin Yiren shouted in his heart, "My God" and actually bit his tongue.
