There is no difference between the hangers-on in the Warring States Period and the modern college students looking for jobs after graduation.
Those with connections, whether capable or not, can directly enter the state unit and eat a portion of the royal rations.
Those who have no connections but have diplomas from hundreds of schools of thought can be chosen by the high-ranking officials and nobles of the seven countries in the world, which is equivalent to the top 500 in the modern world. Of course, these top 500 are also divided into grades. For example, Lu Buwei, who is among the top three in the world,
Not just everyone can understand it.
In the same way, Guigu, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, etc. are not comparable to other schools of thought.
As for those with outstanding abilities and well-known teachers, their choices are more diverse, either starting their own business, or joining someone who has started a business...
Zhao Jia and the coachman stood aside, watching the group of people rushing towards Chang'an Juncheng's Mansion. He suddenly felt curious. He didn't know if his "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" was among this group of people and had traveled to the
In ancient times, the most interesting thing was naturally recruiting famous ministers and generals.
The coachman knew that Lord Chang'an valued Zhao Jia, and noticed Zhao Jia's interest in this matter, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
"How many customers does Chang'an Jun have now?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jia asked curiously.
The coachman lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty opened the mansion three years ago, and now there are less than thirty guests in the mansion. According to the wishes of Lord Chang'an, it is better to have less than to have too much. If you don't have a skill, it will be useless, so anyone who wants to enter the mansion and become a guest
People must pass strict assessment."
"Assessment?"
Zhao Jia blinked and became more curious. Isn't this the prototype of the imperial examination?
The driver said calmly: "Talent, learning and martial arts are the two most important things. If you pass one of them, you can become your disciple."
"What about character?"
"Your Majesty once said that there is no perfect person in the world, only usable ones, so what if they have shortcomings!"
Zhao Jia nodded and did not continue to ask. He had been in contact with Chang'an Jun Chengyu quite a few times. He did feel a bit like an ancient nobleman. He was generous in spending money and behaved generously. Most importantly, he was extremely wealthy.
Shen and his cheap brother Zhao Qian are completely different types.
wrong.
Zhao Qian is not suitable to be compared with Cheng Xi, he is more suitable to be compared with the original owner.
If the original owner was loved by all the officials of Zhao State because of his good moral character, then Zhao Qian was famous for his bad moral character in Zhao State.
I really applied to the saying: What kind of mother brings up what kind of child.
Unlike the original owner's mother who taught him strictly since he was a child, Zhao Qian was left alone since he was a child, allowing him to play in the harem and live among the hawks and swallows... How can a child grasp this? It is inevitable that he will grow crooked.
, even adults may not be able to grasp it.
"Your Excellency, is Zhao Jia, the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom?"
While Zhao Jia was discussing these things with the coachman, suddenly someone came close to him. When Zhao Jia looked over, the other person held up his hand and asked.
Zhao Jia didn't expect to meet someone who knew him here. The original owner never left the palace all year round. Especially after he was deposed as the prince, he became even more depressed. He didn't even have many friends who knew him.
The number of people may be limited to rumors.
With just one glance, he knew that the other person was not an old acquaintance of the original owner, so he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know my identity?"
"The young master has extraordinary bearing, is dressed in brocade clothes, is of such a young age, and is accompanied by the charioteer of Lord Chang'an, so we have such a guess."
The speaker was young, with sparkling eyes. He spoke with an indescribable confidence, just like those young people who have just stepped out of school and have not been beaten by society. They seem to feel that they are the protagonists of the world and will have to speak in this life. You can do great things and even change the world.
It wasn't until a big guy came over to slap me that I suddenly realized that I was no longer the high-spirited young man I used to be...
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the person in front of him.
The clothes on his body are extremely simple, as if they have been washed many times, and the fabric has become fluffy. The overall attire is a bit like a scholar. He has nothing but a backpack on his back, but this poor attire cannot conceal his temperament. That high-spirited confidence.
Confucian scholar, self-confidence, at this time point... Zhao Jia had a guess in his mind: "You are?"
"My dear, Li Si, studied under the Confucianist Xunzi, and has met the young master."
Li Si's face straightened, his posture corrected, and he bowed to Zhao Jia respectfully. He seemed to have learned such etiquette specially, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted.
Sure enough it was him!
Zhao Jia looked at the unhandsome young man in front of him, with a hint of astonishment on his face: "Xunzi? I didn't expect to meet the Confucian Xunzi's disciple here. Could it be that you are also here for the assessment, and you want to become a Chang'an Your disciple?"
"That's true."
Li Si's eyes moved slightly and he said softly.
He is not only interesting, he came here with this intention. Unfortunately, when he found out the way, Jun Chengyu of Chang'an had already led his troops to go on an expedition. If he were to be tested with these people at this time, how could he be revealed? He is talented and knowledgeable, and ordinary people may not be able to understand his stuff.
In order to prevent his belongings from being buried, he would rather wait for a while. After all, he was not satisfied with a small customer.
He studied under the Confucianist Xunzi and embodies the masters of Legalism. He will never be willing to be so ordinary in his first step. If he wants to take a step forward, he should take a big step!
I happened to meet Zhao Jia here.
Li Si didn't know Zhao Jia, but he had seen the coachman next to him, a young man who could keep him company. He was so brightly dressed and had such a luxurious demeanor that he was not an ordinary person at first glance. In addition, in recent times, With the spread of papermaking, everyone in the world knew about Zhao Jia, the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom. At the same time, information about Zhao Jia was gradually uncovered.
The former prince of the State of Zhao, now the hostage, is of good moral character...
The previous ones are not important. What is important is that Zhao Jia has a good character, enjoys a good reputation in Zhao State, and is now prosperous in Qin State. Such people are naturally Li Si's favorite targets. It would be best if he can use Zhao Jia to gain momentum. !
This is also the reason why Li Si stepped forward to say hello.
Zhao Jia naturally figured out Li Si's thoughts in an instant. Regarding the Li Si in Qin Shi, this person is undoubtedly very consistent with the historical Li Si.
The ultimate egoist!
The moral bottom line, etc. are all secondary. What is important is what he can gain. Perhaps the experiences he suffered since childhood made him only have the idea of climbing up. He will become a master at all costs. This is Perhaps this is the reason why he became a disciple of Xunzi from a commoner.
Look at Han Fei, he has something at his fingertips, but Li Si has to pay everything for it. Is this fair?
I can only blame his birth.
I seem to be an egoist too... Zhao Jia suddenly thought of himself. He felt that he might have many topics in common with Li Si.
ps: It will be on the shelves on the 1st of next month. It should be the fifth update, and then the daily 8,000 words will be like this. Let me say hello first and ask for an initial order.
