In the long history of time, the order to expel guests has caused quite a stir. I never thought that today I would encounter it. I heard many words from the elders of the Ying Qin clan in the side hall, and then looked away.
"Master is also interested in the people from Guandong in Qin?"
"Before the master arrived just now, these clan elders said that the people from Guandong have caused many troubles to the Qin state and the people, from Ying Hou Fan Ju to Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze, to Wen Xin Hou Lu Buwei, and to Chang Xin Hou Lao Ai."
"In the opposition, there are those traveling scholars and knight-errant swordsmen from Guandong. Now, the drought in the Xia Dynasty is extremely serious. The clan elders said that expelling the people from Guandong will avoid competing for the interests of the old Qin people, and it will also be able to control the government and the public!"
"Speaking of which, Master has been in Xianyang Palace for a long time. What do you think?"
Ying Zheng was also interested in issuing an order to expel guests. Although he did not know how true or false what these elders of the Ying Qin clan said, but based on the information he received and his own energy, for decades, the people of the six kingdoms of Guandong were in Qin.
Domestically, it caused quite a storm.
In the later period of King Zhaoxiang's reign, the country's power declined, so much so that in the past twenty years, the Qin State had not had a major victory over the six kingdoms of Guandong. Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was executed as an old Qin man through a conspiracy.
Since he came to the throne, most of the power of the government has been in the hands of Wenxinhou Lu Buwei. Last year, Changxinhou Lao Ai was involved in the scandal. He traveled to Xianyang Palace several times and was criticized by the people of the Six Kingdoms of Kanto.
On the road, he repeatedly fell into danger.
Without the protection of the country-protecting mage Xuan Qingzi, his life is in danger. Since the drought, there has been chaos in the major counties and counties of the Qin State. The evil people in the six countries of Guandong have instigated the private feuding among the old Qin people again.
In the year of severe drought, the resources of the Qin State were greatly depleted. If coupled with the rebellion of the Six Nations, the situation of the Qin State's government and the public would become even more unstable. In fact, this should be the goal of the Six Nations.
Qin Wangzheng took one of Zhou Qing's arms and led him to another seat at the table. He was not in a hurry as the elders said, and spoke clearly. He smiled at Zhou Qing, returned to his original position, and waved.
The maid on one side came and poured some fragrant tea.
"Your Majesty, do you think that after issuing the expulsion order, the situation in Qin will be alleviated?"
At this point, Zhou Qing did not refuse. He knelt down on the side of the case, bowed his hands to King Qin Zheng, glanced at the group of elders of the Ying Qin clan again, and asked Ying Zheng again.
"The current disaster situation in Qin should be alleviated to a certain extent."
"Master, do you have a different opinion?"
Without that group of people from all over the Kanto countries acting recklessly in the Qin State, the Qin State's national strength can be condensed and we can weather the drought together. According to Taibu, this drought will not end this year, and may even end in the spring and summer tomorrow.
It may not necessarily end.
"Xuanqing has some opinions on the benefits that the expulsion order will bring to the Qin State. Your Majesty, I will listen to it."
"If the order to expel guests is really issued, then within seven days, Qin's official offices will be unable to operate. A month later, Qin's business will be depressed, and all industries in Xianyang will wither. After half a year, Qin's national power will be reduced by more than half!"
Sitting on the carpet, with his back straight, he faced Qin Wangzheng's gaze and went straight up to meet him. Although Qin Wangzheng was a little strange today, he wanted to issue the eviction order, but he absolutely couldn't.
There was a hint of solemnity in the words, which was definitely not empty talk.
"Within seven days, the official offices of the State of Qin will not be able to continue to operate?"
"Isn't it possible that the master's words put too much emphasis on those people from the six kingdoms of Guandong? For decades, people from the six kingdoms have participated in major events in the government and the public of the Qin State. Even the powerful person such as Wen Xinhou, the king thought that this person had great influence on the Qin Dynasty.
Is the country also important?”
After seven days of expulsion, the official offices of the State of Qin would not be able to function. Upon hearing this, King Qin Zheng looked startled for a moment, seemingly surprised, and then he picked up a bronze lamp next to the case with one hand and responded to Zhou Qing casually.
.
The master is an outsider. Although he has stayed in Xianyang Palace for a long time, he has never really entered the political affairs of the Qin State. Why do you conclude that the official office of the Qin State cannot operate despite the expulsion order?
If anyone else had said it, Qin Wangzheng would have scolded him long ago, but since it was the master who said it, he wanted to hear the reason? You know, the master also hates people from Guandong.
"Last year in the Qinian Palace, Xuan Qing had a conversation with Wang Wan, the chief historian. Wang Wan once said: Among the officials in the Qin State's court and various counties and counties, 30 to 40 percent are from Guandong. Many officials in the Qin State are even more
I became a Kanto person in 78."
"If the expulsion order is issued today, all the people from Guandong will be expelled from the Qin State, and all the government offices in Xianyang will be lame and blind, most of the official affairs will be paralyzed, and many things will be so messed up that there will be no clue to ask and deal with them. In this way, the government offices will not be able to function.
Do you have time to talk?"
Zhou Qing was also quite surprised by Wang Wan's statistics at that time. He did not expect that in the past hundred years, people from the six kingdoms of Guandong would have occupied such a large proportion in the Qin government and the public. They could definitely hold up half the sky.
Qin Wangzheng asked this question, presumably because he was not very clear about this data. Otherwise, there would never be any trace of issuing an order to expel guests in his heart. In the short term, the people from Guandong left, and the old Qin people benefited, but in the long run, Qin,
It is also self-destructive.
"This..., there are so many officials from the six countries?"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, Qin Wangzheng, who was sipping sake from a bronze cup, suddenly froze. Then, his shining red phoenix eyes narrowed, as if in disbelief.
If Master Xuanqing was just talking about such data, I would definitely not believe it, but Wang Wan's words are worth considering. He has the ability and position to control the officials of the Qin State.
If the data is true, after the eviction order was issued, so many people left rashly, and it would have been better if the government office was not paralyzed immediately. After seven days, the master still saved himself face.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know why people from Guandong hold such weight among the officials of Qin?"
"Speaking of which, in the past few months, Xuanqing went north to Hequ and had conversations with Li Si, the chief minister of Hequ. He was from the Chu State and rushed into the Qin State. Xuanqing was interested and chatted with him."
"There is an explanation for the outcome of the people from the Guandong countries entering the Qin Dynasty. Xuan Qing thinks it makes sense."
They and Qin Wangzheng were talking to each other on the side of the separation document. Elder Ying Qin in the side hall heard the sound and frowned. Although he didn't know what Master Xuanqing meant, it was obvious that he did not support the expulsion order.
They glanced at each other and turned their attention to Qin Wangzheng again, hoping that the other party would make a decision as soon as possible. However, before they could say anything, Qin Wangzheng stopped them with one hand, and the entire side hall fell into silence.
After thinking for a few breaths, Qin Wangzheng frowned. Could it be that issuing an order to expel guests would really lead to such an end? I deduced a few things in my mind. If what the master said is true, Qin's move is tantamount to digging its own grave.
Besides, there is no possibility for the master to tell lies.
"A hundred years ago, Qin State had a battle with Wei State Shaoliang, and Xian Gong died. Qin State lost the entire Hexi Plateau and the eastern part of Guanzhong. At the critical moment of life and death, when the six countries were humble to Qin, they did not bother to form an alliance with them. Duke Xiao felt it was a national humiliation, and then he personally
Write the "Order for Seeking Talents" and distribute it to all the countries in Guandong."
"In the Recruitment Hall, Wei Yang entered Qin and reformed the Qin State. Since then, the Qin State has been booming. The "Order for Seeking Talents" is hanging high. People from all over the Kanto countries have entered the Qin Dynasty. All the scholars, peasants, industrialists and business officials from the six countries in the Kanto region can only enter the Qin Dynasty.
, whether you are settling down or staying as a guest, we will all be treated as honored guests."
"Except for business travelers, most of the scholars, peasants, workers, and officials who entered the Qin State became New Qin people who settled in various parts of the Qin State. Except for farmers, most of the people from Guandong who entered the Qin State were capable of doing things and writing."
"Most of them come from the ancient civilized and prosperous countries that have perished, such as the State of Lu, the State of Song, the State of Wei, the State of Yue, the State of Wu, the State of Xue, the State of Tang, the State of Chen, etc. These people entered the State of Qin, although the great talents and celebrities
There are few, but there are many capable officers.”
"These people entered the Qin State. Although there were few talented people and celebrities, there were many capable officials. They worked hard and entered official careers without joining the army. Over the years, most of them have become the chief officials of the Qin State's official offices. The old Qin people farmed
Those who are based on war are either farmers, craftsmen or soldiers. There are very few people who can read and write and become capable officials, and the people of Xinqin have just filled this gap."
"This is the reason why there are so many people from Guandong among the officials of Qin!"
Over the past hundreds of years, the Qin State has gradually developed from a small country located in the western border to the powerful country that dominates the Xia Dynasty today. Although no one of the hundreds of families was born in the Qin State, the Qin State has grown since Shang Jun's reform.
, but it has an unparalleled advantage among the Kanto countries.
That means you don’t need to look at your background to hire people, just as long as they have talent!
And this is absolutely impossible in today's six kingdoms of Guandong. Under the patriarchal etiquette, the hierarchy is clear, and Confucianism is widely spread, which makes it difficult for those humble people who are talented to ascend to high positions.
Just like Hequ Cheng Li Si, is it really just because Qin is a good granary? Can it be a rat in the barn?
No, because with his talents, he would never have the chance to obtain the highest position of power among the six kingdoms of Guandong. However, this is possible in the Qin State, and this is recognized by the entire Xia Kingdom.
As soon as he said this, the King of Qin was silent, and many elders of the Ying Qin clan not far from the side hall were also silent. Although they were elders of the Ying Qin clan, they were dissatisfied that the people of the Six Kingdoms of Guandong took away their old Qin people during the drought.
interests.
However, I heard from Master Xuanqing that one of the reasons for the Qin State's strength over the past hundred years was that it recruited people from all the countries in the Kanto region to join the Qin Dynasty, and there were not a few who were officials. If you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable.
However, the Qin Kingdom is experiencing a drought, and the people from the Guandong countries are invading the interests of the old Qin people. This is undeniable in any case, and it must be given an end no matter what, otherwise, they will not just give up.
"In the past three dynasties, when the Spring and Autumn Period came together, and the Warring States Period was in turmoil, no matter which country was strong, it was only because of its talents. Duke Mu dominated and unified Xirong, and he used five people, Youyu, Bailixi, Jian Shu, Pibao, and Gongsun Zhi.
.”
"When Duke Xiao strengthened the Qin Dynasty, he used Shang Yang. King Hui conquered Sanchuan and conquered Bashu to break up the alliance, and used Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo. King Zhaoxiang strengthened the duke Du Private Gate and fought against the six kingdoms. He first used Ranghou and then Fan Ju."
"The two kings Xiaowen and Zhuang Xiang were able to stabilize the overall situation during the crisis and prevent Qin from declining when it was on the defensive. It was because of the appointment of Lu Buwei and Cai Ze. Since Duke Xiao, Qin has been prospering for six generations. Why? It is the merit of using guests.
It’s the use of talent!”
"The talents from Guandong came to Qin one after another, devoured Qin's wealth, loyal to Qin, and built Qin. From this point of view, these people from Guandong are worthy of Qin! If Qin expels them, it will be like breaking their own arms!"
