From the remote and small kingdom of Zhou Tianzi in the west, to the Qin Dynasty that swept Liuhe and dominated the world, the Qin State has demonstrated its power to the world for hundreds of years. The rise of the Qin State not only relied on the strength of its soldiers, but also benefited from the statecraft used by me to collect the talents of the world. However, as a unified feudal dynasty, the speed of the Qin Dynasty's collapse was also staggering, and it took the wrong path in the use of talents, which was an important factor in accelerating its demise. We might as well start with Prime Minister Li Si's "Book of Exhortations to the Guest" to analyze the gains and losses of the Qin State in the talent policy.
From the perspective of the historical value of the article, it describes the achievements of the four monarchs of Qin State, Qin Mugong, Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen King, and Qin Zhaoxiang King who were able to recruit talents and eventually make the country rich and strong, especially emphasizing the Qin State's recruitment of foreign talents that "scholars are not produced in Qin", which is Li Si's affirmation of Qin's appointment system, and also his positive suggestion to persuade Qin Wang Yingzheng to continue to implement this policy.
Ximu Gong seeks scholars, takes Yu Rong in the west, Xi Yuwan in the east, welcomes Uncle Yu Song, and comes to Pi Leopard and Gongsun Zhi in Jin. These five sons were not born in Qin, but Mu Gong used them, and merged the country for twenty, so he dominated Xirong.
The first to appear was as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugong, who was ranked as one of the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons", and it was precisely because he created the foundation of "merging the country for the twenty years and tyrannizing Xirong", which greatly expanded the territory of the Qin State, so that the originally infamous Qin State stepped onto the stage of the princes' disputes. Qin Mugong's thirst for talent is manifested in recruiting talents in every possible way and gladly accepting the recommendation of talents. Gongsun Zhi recommended Baili Xi to him, and Baili Xi recommended Uncle Jian to him, and these talents can be reused by Qin Mugong. In order to get the effectiveness of Yu, he used the discord scheme to destroy the relationship between Yuyu and the king of Xirong, and finally because he adopted Yu's strategy, he achieved great success in attacking Xirong.
Filial piety and public use of the law of martingale, change customs, the people to prosperous, the country to be rich and strong, the people are happy to use, the princes are subordinate, won the Chu and Wei divisions, lifted thousands of miles, and has been strong so far.
During the Warring States Period, Qin Xiaogong, with his support, carried out the Shang Dynasty reform, which laid the foundation for the unification of the Qin State and directly affected the development direction of the Qin State. Shang Ying was originally a patriot, and it was when he heard Qin Xiaogong's order to seek merit, that he went west to Qin to seek a meeting, "changing the law and repairing the punishment, cultivating the crops in internal affairs, and persuading the rewards and punishments for the war death." (Historical Records) transformed the Qin State into an invincible war machine.
Everyone, listen!Men between the ages of 17 and 55 are all gathered in the ancestral hall and checked their household registration!”
On the evening of May 10, 1950, in Tongbo Village, Dongshan Island, Fujian Province, China, a group of officers wearing yellow military uniforms shouted at the entrance of the village with loudspeakers. At the same time, there are many soldiers knocking on doors from house to house.
There is a fisherman in the village who is skilled in fishing, named Huang Yasong. He was sleeping when he was woken up by a sharp knock on the door. As he got dressed, he asked impatiently, "Who?"I didn't sleep so late!”
Check the account, open the door quickly!A rough male voice replied.
Huang Yasong opened the door and saw a group of black-pressed soldiers outside. One of the first ones shone a flashlight on Huang Yasong, and then shouted: "Take it away!."”
Don't!Boss, we didn't break the law, why do we arrest people?”
At this time, Huang Yasong's wife, Chen Qiaoyunyue, walked out of the room, saw that the other party was about to arrest someone, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
Get out!What a mess!A soldier stopped Chen Qiaoyun with a gun, and shouted at the same time: "Go back to the house and sleep!."”
Qiaoyun, don't be afraid, just check the household registration, and I'll be back in a while. Huang Yasong saw that the soldier was extremely vicious, and he was afraid that his wife would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
Chen Qiaoyun watched her man being taken away like this, and she didn't know what it meant at this time.
And Huang Yasong at that time didn't feel anything. When he entered the ancestral hall under the escort of soldiers, he found that it was already densely packed with people. Moreover, they are all men, and they are all the pillars of their respective families.
Soon, an officer-like man began to count. He didn't count carefully, but he managed to count the number of people: 147 in all. For a small village of only about 200 households, this is almost all the strong labor.
Do you know how to count it?Count clearly and go!Another officer-looking man said.
At this time, a team of heavily armed soldiers drove the 147 people out of the ancestral hall, and then drove them out of the village and caught up with a big boat.
