The King of Wei and the King of Qi said "National Treasure".
Zhang Hongxing. In 355 BC, the king of Wei came to visit the state of Qi. After the talks, King Qi Wei and King Wei Hui hunted together at the junction of the two countries.
During the break, King Wei Hui asked King Qi Wei, "Does the king have any treasures?" ”。
King Qi Wei deliberately said, "No."
King Wei Hui said proudly: "In a small country like the widow, there are ten jewels that can illuminate twelve chariots with a diameter of one inch, and there are really no treasures in a big country like Qi with 10,000 chariots?" ”
King Qi Wei smiled and said: "Our treasures are different from yours, you take jewelry as treasure, and we treasure talents. I have a minister named Tanzi, and I sent him to guard the southern city, so that the Chu people would not dare to attack, and there were twelve vassal states around to pay tribute.
I have a minister named Panzi, and I sent him to guard Gaotang, so the people of Zhao would not dare to go to the river in the east to fish.
I have a minister named Qianfu, sent him to guard Xuzhou, the Yan people were deeply afraid, so they prayed to their ancestors at the north gate; The people of Zhao prayed to their ancestors at the West Gate, praying that the gods would bless them. In the end, more than 7,000 returned to the Qi State.
I have a minister named the head of the species, and he is in charge of public order, cracking down on theft, thieves are frightened, social order is harmonious, and the road is not left behind. I have many more ministers like this, and each of them can illuminate a thousand miles, more than twelve cars! ”
When King Wei Hui heard King Qi Wei's words, his face was red and white for a while, and he naturally sighed to himself, and even felt a little embarrassed.
King Qi Wei not only found that he had appointed a generation of famous generals such as Chun Yuji, Zou Ji, Tian Ji, and Sun Bin, but he also actively developed and expanded the Jixia School Palace.
King Qi Wei regarded talents as national treasures, and fully realized the importance of raising soldiers and being strong, and having more people and tyranny.
Today, there is a long way to go to realize Chinese-style modernization, and it is still necessary and necessary to treat talents as treasures.
