Lu Dynasty

Chapter 411

Liu Bian heard me say that only Zhang Ji can be in charge of the medical school, he said with a smile; "I know that Zhong Jing is the only one in charge of the medical school, but Zhong Jing has complained to me many times and hopes to expand the manpower. For more than half a year, Zhongjing was very resentful! Now that the imperial court is just starting up, a lot of waste is waiting to be done. Lu Qing, you have set up so many departments. Now in these departments, except for the daily responsible officials, some don’t even have deputy. Are you Shouldn't you think of a way?"

"Since Your Majesty wants me to find a way, then bring me a pen!" As soon as I finished speaking, someone brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone together with the table.I rolled up my sleeves, picked up a pen, and swiped across the paper.What I wrote was Cao’s sage seeking order, but I gathered his several sage seeking orders and added my goal of seeking sage.I wrote this edict to seek meritorious service, threw away the pen and said: "Come here, take this edict to Your Majesty for review, and let Your Majesty make a decision!" I remember that in my previous life, I liked the two monarchs Cao and Liu more. , and Cao's three orders for seeking talents, not only the content is still fresh in people's memory, but also the literary talent is extraordinary.So I always remember, just like Zhuge Liang's two essays on being a teacher.

Liu Bian saw that the ink on the paper was not dry yet, so he stopped the waiter who wanted to move the table, and went to the table to read.After reading, Liu Bian slapped the table and shouted: "Okay! Lu Qing is worthy of being a generation of writers. This article is impassioned. If this strategy is feasible, I will not worry about talents!" After saying this, they all rushed to read the imperial edict I wrote, but they dared not leave their seats without permission. Liu Bian looked at the officials in the hall stretching their necks like ducks, and called a servant to read my written order. edict.

"Since ancient times, the king who has been appointed and Zhongxing has never been able to rule the world with a virtuous gentleman! He has won the virtuous, and he has never been out of the lane. How lucky to meet him? The superior does not seek the ear. Today, the inferior has not yet been determined. This is an urgent time to seek talents.'Meng Gongchuo is superior to Zhao and Wei, but not to Teng and Xue.' Guan Zhong, Huan Gong's thief, all used it to prosper. Xiao He, Cao Can, county officials; Han Xin, Chen Ping, who were shamed for being insulted, had the shame of being laughed at, and they were able to achieve kings, and their reputations were recorded. Wu Qi was a greedy general, Killing one's wife is self-confident, distributing money to ask for an official, and mother's death does not return. However, in Wei, the people of Qin dared not go east, and in Chu, the three Jins dared not seek south. How could Chen Ping be faithful, and Su Qin would keep his faith? But Chen Ping settled the Han industry , Su Qinji weak Yan. From this, scholars are short and mediocre! Is there no one who is caught in the Weibin by Brown Huaiyu today? And there is no thief's wife who receives money and no one knows who?

If there are no virtuous people who are placed among the people, and if they are brave enough to face the enemy and fight fiercely, if they are cultural and custom officials, their talents are different, or they can be regarded as generals; And there is the art of governing the country and using soldiers: it is known by everyone, and nothing is left behind.A person who is capable of doing things may not be able to make progress; a person who is enterprising may not be able to make progress.The second and third sons are my assistants, Yang Pinghou, who only promote talents. If there is Siming thinking about this meaning, the scholars will not be left behind.

The world is chaotic today, especially in the Warring States period. The court was first established. The people needed, whether they are workers, doctors, merchants, or farmers, can enter the court if they have a skill. If they can serve the country, the court will not hesitate. Those who can! "

As soon as my request for talents came out, everyone in the court was shocked.Kong Rong stood up and said, "Prime Minister, I can understand that you need doctors and craftsmen. But what's the use of merchants and farmers? How can they be officials?"

Before I could speak, Ni Heng stood up and said, "Wen Ju's words are wrong! The Prime Minister is implementing new policies in Luoyang. There are Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Commerce. Naturally, farmers, workers and merchants are needed!"

"But their conduct is uncertain, how can they serve as officials to educate the people?" Kong Rong thought I wanted those merchants and farmers to be local officials.

"Master Kong, if I recruit these people, I will naturally not let them become local officials. Merchants, I only need people with ability and ability to help Master Mi Zhu and Master Mi, and Master Mi will naturally supervise them. All the workers will be assigned Master Liu Ye, if they have special skills, I will register them in the register so that those skills will not be lost. As for the farmers, Master Kong may not know that I have many people who are proficient in planting, and they always fight more than other common people. Grain, there are still people who can discover new grain, if they can be owned by the imperial court, it will be a blessing for me. Let’s say that the high-yield grain in my hand, if my man discovers it earlier, maybe there will be no yellow scarf. Chaos! As for the governance of the local people, it is natural to leave it to virtuous people. Don't worry, I have my own way!" Kong Rong is a nerd, he knows how to govern the people.Seeing how he governs Beihai like that, you can tell that he is just a rotten scholar who picks out sentences!

Kong Rong was still worried and said: "Prime Minister, I really can't agree with your idea. I am a majestic Han court, and the people standing in the court are all farmers, craftsmen, and even merchants. Wouldn't it be a joke? If this makes Yuan Shao, If Cao, Liu Biao and his like know about it, they will definitely laugh at us for degrading ourselves!"

"Master Kong, you are wrong again! I recruit farmers and merchants to let them do practical things! For example, if Mr. Mi's business department is entrusted to Mr. Mi to do all the business, it will not work. And those How many Confucian scholars know how to do business? Let’s say you, Mr. Kong, are so talented, whether you are farming or doing business, do you understand?” I was speechless to Kong Rong’s rigid mind, but I was also very grateful.Fortunately, I didn't take down a big state like Jizhou where aristocratic families are rampant. Otherwise, if I get a few more people like Kong Rong, I don't have to do anything else, just explain to them!
Kong Rong smiled and said: "Prime Minister, what you said is irrelevant! Confucius said back then that he would live in peace and happiness, and never change his aspirations after death. Mencius, the sub-sage, also said that it is not necessary to worry about widows but inequality, as long as the court is not allowed to Officials feed on the common people, and the common people are naturally stable, and it doesn’t matter if there are fewer other things!”

"Master Kong, you must have never tasted the taste of starvation! Besides, there are aristocratic families around, how can you be average? Think about it, when you were in Beihai, although your life in Beihai was relatively rich, but Master Kong, you have enough to eat and wear. When it’s warm, there are still millions of yellow scarves outside the city who can’t eat enough and don’t have enough clothes to cover their bodies. Let’s say that there are people like this in Beihai City! Since we can find ways to make people’s lives better, why don’t we try to believe it? What about merchants and farmers? When my people are rich and have nothing to worry about, who would want to rebel? Officials are corrupt and let them be corrupt. Naturally, there will be trouble for them! Besides, my supervision mechanism But let the people all over the world be my censors!"
