I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 226

Regarding Yan Hui's resignation, Zhiyao actually has no regrets.

It's not because of Yan Hui's high morality, other abilities are very mediocre, it's just that Zhiyao knows that the melon that is twisted is not sweet.

If Zhiyao had any thoughts because of Yan Hui's resignation, it was simply that some people took themselves too seriously.

Now there is no such thing as freedom to come and go. To become a retainer of a certain family, the price of leaving will be very high, not only in terms of reputation, but also depends on whether another family is willing to accept it, or even be disposed of by the old owner.

That's because being a retainer of a family will learn a lot of new knowledge, master some secrets, and so on. If you gain something, you must lose something. It's a very natural thing.

Yan Hui is not a retainer of the Zhi family, in fact he is not even considered a guest, he is just a guest.

It was because of that that Yan Hui could only leave if he wanted to.

Of course, don't let Zhishi know what Yan Hui has done with Zhishi's "patent", or else he will be retaliated by Zhishi, and everyone will say something wrong.

There are not many classmates who left with Yan Hui, only four.They are also the type who have been improved in the spiritual field, and have little or very general practical ability.

What's the meaning?Even if they are morally noble, they only show their morality, without proving their ability in other aspects.

People with high morals should be respected in any era. Those in power will not easily offend such people, but will entertain them with delicious food and drink.

It would be even better if a person with high morals is willing to serve as a propagandist, bragging about a certain nobleman for his subordinates or going to other places.

"Is it the first generation of Qingliu?" Zhiyao's Qingliu is not derogatory.

Why did Qingliu have such a high social status, and why did she become a profession?It's not that they strictly demand themselves, pay for the society, and make a series of contributions, thus gaining respect.

People who are morally noble, advocate all kinds of good things by themselves, and persuade them not to do evil. Such people are not generally useful to society, and rulers will also like them very much.

What about the next cleanup?It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.

Because those people were not Zhishi's retainers, there was no problem in coming and going freely.

If Zhiyao allows Zhishi's retainers to have the right to come and go freely, it is basically a brain hole.

An episode that was too small for Zhiyao to remember has passed.

However, for Yan Hui and others, it is indeed of great significance, especially when the Zhi family sent a team to escort them back to Lu State, at least it proves that Zhi Yao is also a moral and beautiful person.

If they know how to behave, they will definitely help the Zhi family to brag when they return to the state of Lu, and if they have the opportunity to go to other countries, they will also help to promote their reputation. Maybe they can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Zhi family.

Strolling..., ah, no, it was Zhishen who came back from inspection and was in a state of extreme excitement.

Zhishen couldn't help being excited!

Zhiyao formulated a five-year plan, and the results achieved are almost the sum of the two generations of Zhiyao's patriarchs.And that was only the first five-year plan, and it only showed achievements in agriculture, and the results about "Ye" city have not been shown yet.

The core members of the Zhi family who also visited the circle vowed that even if they couldn't understand it, they would 100% support Zhi Yao in whatever he wanted to do.

can not read it?That's because I'm stupid, it doesn't matter if I'm stupid, just admit it.

Of course, there are disadvantages for the Zhi family. If Zhi Yao makes a mistake one time, it is very likely that the Zhi family will suffer losses, and even fall into a situation beyond redemption.

"When will the project start again?" Zhishen seemed impatient.

Similar questions, Zhishen has asked Zhiyao more than once.

Zhiyao has already given the answer, thinking that it is possible to take a breather for at least a year, and even longer.

Seeing that Zhishen was still asking tirelessly, it showed that he was not only in a hurry, but also urged by others.

Zhiyao gave a new statement this time, saying: "Many people migrate, and it takes time to settle down; in the future, to revive the project, it will also need people from other places to migrate, and build a place to settle down, so that there will be production. ; Furthermore, if there is a great war, there will be more rewards for those who have meritorious service.”

Whoever does meritorious deeds and gets a small piece of land, a land that doesn't look like much but is divided by a large number of people must be huge.

Zhiyao can't reward all the land that is difficult to develop. Even if no one has any objections to similar practices, it will still appear very unethical. People need to have a degree.

So, one thing seems to be very simple to say, but what is easy to do in practice?

Until the end of the spring sowing, Lian Zhiyao saw that the wilderness was full of people working, the seedlings were planted, imagined what the harvest season would look like, and almost couldn't bear to start the second five-year plan.

Later, Zhishen went back to "Xintian", while Zhiyao still stayed in "Ye" city.

There is still too much time for Zhiyao to personally supervise, including the production of various smelting furnaces and the placement of other workshops.

"It's never been seen before!" Gongshu Ban was very excited.

Yes, there has never been a city like "Ye" in history, and the Zhi family has set a precedent in history.

Taking this step forward is fundamentally setting an example for the rest of the princes, and it is very likely that future dynasties will also learn from it.

Who was the first in history to do this kind of thing?It seems to be Lu Buwei.

Later, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, borrowed from Lu Buwei to carry out special activities in Shanglinyuan. Most of the military equipment used to fight back against the Huns came from various workshops in Shanglinyuan.

A further feudal dynasty?No one seems to have done that before.

No, the Manchu Qing Dynasty engaged in concentrated industrial construction.

Zhiyao thought she was making a fuss, but she didn't know that once the "Ye" city was put into operation, it would greatly stimulate the rest of the noble families in the future.

In fact, even if Zhiyao knew about it and found that other high-ranking families followed suit, she would still be happy to see it succeed.

The Zhi family was more than one step ahead, the other families were just catching up, and it was completely useless for the Zhi family to be caught up.

It is more likely that after Zhiyao wiped out one family after another, she enjoyed what is called sitting back and enjoying the benefits.

It wasn't until the middle of summer that Zhiyao left the city of "Ye" after receiving news that the state of Wu was attacking the state of Qi and threatening the Lord Chen to go to "Wu".

Zhiyao came to "Handan" and didn't have time to catch her breath. Lao Tzu came to visit.

Laozi has been in Zhishi for five years and has helped Zhishi a lot for a long time. Zhishi's first five-year plan can be completed, which has a lot of credit for Laozi.

"Master Li this time..." Zhiyao saw Lao Tzu approaching with a plate of books, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Lao Tzu said: "These are what I remember, and they are all things that Zhishi cultivated."

Dev diary?The Zhi family also has a special record of this kind of thing, and it will inevitably be kept as a part of the family inheritance, and even become a fragment of history.

Lao Tzu is doing similar things, and Zhishi is fully aware of it. He doesn't stop it because he wants to see how the second party records it. He will borrow it later to discuss gains and losses internally.

Zhiyao put away the development log sent by Lao Tzu, and ordered someone to hold a banquet in honor of Lao Tzu.

"I've been busy for years, my work has stagnated, and my ears don't feel bored." What I said was that the writing of the book was delayed, and I still feel very happy to be able to participate in this large-scale reclamation.

Laozi is writing a book, that is, the "Tao Tao Jing", which has actually been written, but needs to be considered again and again, and there are places that need to be revised.

In Zhishi’s big project, it’s not that Lao Tzu didn’t use his own theories to fully demonstrate to the world the omnipotence of Huang-Lao’s theory. Many people on Zhi’s side were shocked by Lao Tzu’s management science. .

Zhiyao is very aware of the power of Huang Lao's theory, and knows that it may not be suitable for Zhishi, and it is still an extremely advanced management method.

However, some changes have occurred. For example, Lao Tzu has modified some of his academic views without violating the core of the theory.

So yes, Lao Tzu has helped Zhi Shi a lot, so why not a chance to check his theory?

It is really not easy to say who made the money so that the theory can be put into practice.

Another point is that Lao Tzu had many students in the Zhi family, and he sold the theory when he was still alive. It is not the kind of model where later generations learn by themselves with books after they become immortals.

"In the coming year, Er will focus on Confucian classics." Lao Tzu said.

Zhiyao immediately said: "'Father Huang' has his own home."

Lao Tzu shook his head: "'Handan' is fine."

what?
Zhi's "Father Huang" is a place suitable for theory, and the cultural atmosphere there is still very strong because there are many Confucianists.

"Follow the way and follow the rules, practice it, and serve the needs of the people, so it can be used." Lao Tzu said.

In fact, don't build a car behind closed doors, write everything on your own, or simply learn from the achievements of predecessors.

Zhiyao was immediately full of respect for Lao Tzu.

you do not say!

The creation of theories is to make society progress, so it is impossible to write everything on your own, and it must meet people's needs.

Lao Tzu is worthy of being the forerunner of a hundred schools of thought. If he had no chance, he created an opportunity to travel around, to truly understand what the times need, and then make assumptions based on his own foresight. The theories he created are not only applicable to one era, but may be used to govern the country for a long time. All fit.

After chatting for a while, Zhiyao wondered that Lao Tzu didn't give his theory a name.

Knowing that Lao Tzu's theory involved a lot of thoughts of the Yellow Emperor, Zhiyao blurted out, "It's better to call it Huang Lao's theory."

Lao Tzu was stunned.

Who is the Yellow Emperor?A legendary figure, one of the five emperors, what an honor to be able to be side by side with him!

And can it be tied with the Five Emperors?No matter how courageous I am, I never thought about it.

In fact, Zhiyao also regretted it after she said it.

Lao Tzu shook his head and said, "How dare you stand shoulder to shoulder with the sages."

So, who named it "Huang-Lao Theory"?

The ancestors are the ancients, and they will also become the ancients one day. Today's people surpass the ancients to make progress, and it is a great misfortune to fall behind the ancients again and again.
