Hong Mai said that the rise of the Qin State was to make good use of other people
Qin Shi Huang unified China and became the first emperor of the ages, which is inseparable from the history of Qin's struggle for more than 700 years. Qin became a vassal state in 770 BC, one or two hundred years later than the other vassal states. That is to say, the status of the Qin ancestors was lowly, and in the Yin Shang period, they were the border people who guarded Xirong, and they lived in the wrong place with the Rong people, far away from the Central Plains. Until the ancestor Qin Feizi was named a vassal state by Zhou Tianzi because of his meritorious work in raising horses, called "Qin Huan". In 821 B.C., Duke Zhuang of Qin defeated Xirong and was named the doctor of the Western Regions by King Xuan of Zhou. In 770 BC, Qin Xianggong sent troops to escort King Zhou Ping to the east, and he was made a prince. From then on, the state of Qin officially became a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, but it was located on the northwestern border. After the Zhou royal family moved eastward, the Qin people gradually moved eastward into Guanzhong.
The rise of the Qin State should start with the Shang Dynasty reform, and what is the real reason for the rise?The Southern Song Dynasty writer Hong Mai said in "Rong Zhai Essays, Volume II": "Qin uses people from other countries". The original text is as follows (the original text is divided into three paragraphs for ease of reading):
SevenThe national tiger competes for the world, all of which will attract travelers from all directions. And then the six countriesThe phases used are all their clans and people, such as Qi Zhi Tian Ji, Tian Ying, Tian Wen, Han Zhi Gongzhong, Uncle Gong, Zhao Zhi Fengyang, Pingyuan Jun, and King Wei to the crown prince as the phase.

Translation]: When the Seven Heroes of the Warring States were vying for the world, there was no one who did not widely include lobbyists from all over the world. However, the Xiangguo appointed by the six countries are all their clansmen and natives, such as Tian Ji, Tian Ying, and Tian Wen of Qi State;Korean Gongzhong, Gongshu;Fengyang Jun of Zhao State, Pingyuan Jun;The king of Wei even appointed the crown prince as the prime minister.
Only the state of Qin is not like this. The first to conspire with the Qin State to create hegemony was the Wei State (should be a patriot) Gongsun Martingale (Shang Ying). Others, such as Lou Zhuan, are from Zhao Guo;Zhang Yi, Wei Ran, and Fan Sui were all from Wei;Cai Ze is a native of Yanguo;Lü Buwei is Korean;Li Si is a native of Chu. King Qin obeyed his words and entrusted them with all the major affairs of the country, without the slightest suspicion. The reason why the world was finally annexed was all due to the strength of these strategists.
King Yan Zhao appointed Guo Kui, Ju Xin, and Le Yi, and almost destroyed the powerful Qi State, and Ju Xin and Le Yi were both from Zhao State. King Chu Mourning appointed Wu Qi as the prime minister, and the princes were afraid of the strength of the Chu state, but Wu Qi was a defender.
Mr. Hong Mai not only said that "Qin uses people from other countries", but also cites the examples of Yan and Chu using people from other countries to become strong.
Today's world is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The rejuvenation of China must take the road of strengthening the country with talents. Talent power is not only the introduction of talents, the key is to retain talents, so that talents play the role of talents. In order to retain talents, it is necessary to have practical and concrete measures, rather than staying in words of "respecting knowledge and respecting talents".
The strength of the United States is that it has enveloped the world's elite, which is similar to the Qin people more than 2,000 years ago. We should all the more inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our predecessors.
Of course, other people are important, and their own people are equally important, and meritocracy is the right way.
