Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 354: Teach a man to fish!Teach a man to fish! (Please subscribe)

Three days later.

There were people hurriedly outside the Imperial Household.

Hundreds of men with black cloths on their heads walked out of the Neishi Mansion, all with excited smiles on their faces.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang walked together.

The smiles on the two people's faces have been hanging on their faces since they came out of the Neishi Mansion, and they didn't stop for a moment, as if they had received a lot of benefits from the Nei Shi Mansion.

Chen Sheng turned around, glanced at the majestic Neishi Mansion, and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Before I came to Xianyang, I actually had the worst plan. If I really found nothing, I would just fall into the trap and become a bandit. I never thought, We really came to Xianyang at the right time this time. If we had not come to Xianyang, how would we know that Qin Ting, who is rumored to be a scourge, actually has a compassionate heart for all people?"

"Hearing with the ears is ultimately false, but seeing with the eyes is true."

"The ancients never deceived me."

Wu Guang nodded.

He was equally convinced of this.

He and Chen Sheng currently live in the same hotel. They have become very close in the past ten days. They usually travel together and can be considered very chatty. He also does not hold too much in mind about his visit to Xianyang this time. Looking forward to it.

The world resented Qin too deeply.

The reason why he insisted on coming to Xianyang at that time was to tell himself clearly that the world was really hopeless.

Just coming to Xianyang for more than ten days completely refreshed my previous understanding of Qin Ting.

He was completely amazed now.

There are many people who feel the same way as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Since Nei Shifu left, everyone's face was flushed, their expressions were very excited, and they were all mumbling words, as if they had received huge benefits from today's banquet, making people happy and grinning from ear to ear.

And that seems to be the case.

But something different.

They did get some promises from Fusu, but these promises took time to be fulfilled. If so, they might not actually be so excited. What really made them happy was that Fusu really had no prejudice against them, and also Talk to them very honestly.

What are they?
You can't even call him a depressed person.

He is not a well-read person either.

The vast majority of them are just a group of cynical and resentful people who are unwilling to accept the status quo. Some are farmers, some are farm servants, some are butchers, some are still mourners, and there are even a few dead people.

They are the real bottom of society.

From ancient times to the present, no one has cared about their life or death.

No one paid attention to their demands.

But after coming to Xianyang, I didn't have this kind of experience. Instead, I received warm hospitality. You know, although the number of 'sages' who arrived this time did not reach 7000, there were still as many as [-]. This number is also very large, but the government The reception was still very accommodating.

Moreover, in the first few days after arriving, officials kept coming to ask questions and promised to give clear explanations for the matters they raised or the injustices they encountered. Therefore, during these ten days, a large number of people actually spoke to the officials. In the end, they all gave up participating in this 'Meeting for Talent'.

Of course, the main thing is that most of them don't have that talent.

Many of them were so angry that they finally came to Xianyang, calmed down later, and the government listened to their demands, so they naturally followed the steps given by the government, so in these ten days, some people gave up and quit every day.

finally.

Only less than a thousand people actually stayed.

When Chen Sheng saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He thought that Qin Ting was deliberately trying to persuade them to retreat, or to let them leave in a sensible way. However, his family's land and house were occupied by powerful officials. Although the government had registered these things, they didn't know when they would be resolved. If he just went back like this, he would After all, I feel unwilling to give up.

Therefore, in the next few days, he continued to persevere under tremendous pressure.

The same goes for Wu Guang.

His situation is slightly different from Chen Sheng.

He had offended the county magistrate. Although the county magistrate had been investigated and punished by the court, he was well aware of the darkness in the county. Just dealing with a county magistrate could not solve the real problem at all. It could only make the corrupt officials in the county restrain themselves. , when this trend passes, it will definitely come back and get even worse.

He came expecting the worst.

He even thought about turning the grass into the enemy.

Therefore, after others withdrew one after another, he remained unmoved and persisted until the end. Finally, he waited for today's talent-seeking meeting, and the result was completely beyond his expectation.

Even unexpected.

Fusu did not give them the quota of 'officials'. Regarding this situation, they felt a little aggrieved and helpless, but they had to admit that it was indeed the case.

He did know some words with Chen Sheng and others.

But not much.

There is simply no support for being an official.

Without this ability, how can we force it?
If they really recommended Fusu as an official, they would be overjoyed, but it would also bring a lot of negative effects to Qin Ting. Fusu obviously considered it, so he didn't make any considerations at all.

As soon as he entered the palace, Fusu spoke frankly.

At that time, they all thought that Fusu would ridicule them, and even prepared themselves to accept some ridicule, but this was not the case. Fusu was still very kind to them, without any dissatisfaction, let alone any slander. Any negative emotions.

Instead, he persuaded me sincerely.

Simultaneously.

Show them another clear path.

Go to the army to guard the border!
Upon hearing Fusu's suggestion, most of the people in the palace turned pale. They just didn't dare to get angry due to Fusu's status. Fusu seemed to have expected this and was not angry at all. Instead, he spoke very slowly and calmly. Explained.

After listening.

Only then did they suddenly wake up.

I almost missed a great thing.

At first, Fusu simply introduced the situation in the army and made a promise to them. As long as they join the army for five years, they will be able to work as officials in the local area, and within these five years, their families will receive preferential treatment from the government. , there will never be any problems.

That's all.

They still won't be moved.

Since ancient times, it has been five years after five years.

Then there is no return date.

How could they easily believe these words?It was only later that Fusu talked about the differences between the Qin Army and the changes in the Qin Army over the years that they couldn't help but feel slightly moved and hesitant.

The Qin army is no longer what it used to be.

He even launched the transfer of non-commissioned officers last year.

What really makes them excited is that the military already has a relatively independent learning system. If they join the military, they will not only be able to serve as officials in the future, but they can also learn writing and master knowledge in the military.

If the name is not right, the words are not right.

Although Fusu wanted to reuse them, their talents were not good enough. Da Qin had always had strict laws and regulations, so it was impossible to relax them for so many people. However, if they entered the army and learned enough knowledge, and then came out as officials in the future, they would It's reasonable and legal.

Simultaneously.

Fusu also introduced the specific 'non-commissioned officer transfer' situation in great detail.

If they can gain military merit or be promoted while guarding the border, they can get higher 'positions' in the future. It was upon hearing this series of promises that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang couldn't help but feel moved.

Before they came to Neishi Mansion, they were actually very worried.

I'm afraid that I will be harmed by Fusu and get nothing in the end.

result.

Fusu really kept his word.

Treat them equally, just like the scholars, without any deviation.The only deviation is meritocracy.

If they don't have talents, they will be given time to become talents. Their magnanimity and mind are truly admirable to them.

For going to the border to guard the border.

To be honest, they are very resistant.

Because since ancient times, there has been no end to guarding the border, but this was promised by Fusu himself, and he also gave so many promises and conditions. If the family is not worried and can use this to make a career, this may not be considered a good thing.

Moreover, Fusu did not come alone this time, but also brought several minor officials with him, all of whom had just retired from the army last year.

Simultaneously.

I also showed them their resumes.

Let them feel completely relieved.

These few petty officials came from poor families and had lower backgrounds than many of them. However, after eleven or twelve years of service, they have now become officials of the Qin Dynasty. These people are also good at handwriting and proficient in arithmetic. They It is actually impossible to learn these things because of their background. The only possibility is that Fusu said that they learned it from the military.

How could a low-born official do this?

What about them?

True.

The information Fusu showed them might be suspected of fraud, but were they really worth Fusu's trouble?If Fusu didn't want to see him, he could just find a reason to refuse, or arrange for an official to come. How could they dare to have any resentment?How dare you be dissatisfied?

But Fusu didn't do this.

He came in person and treated me with sincerity.

Being so frank, even if he really means to be deceptive, at least the appearance is enough.

Also full of sincerity.

Even if they were cheated, they still admitted it.

After Fusu's repeated persuasion, all of them agreed.

Wait until you get out of Neishi Mansion.

They were also a little confused.

It felt like the previous encounter in the temple was like a dream.

unreal.

It was just the hot air that told them all the time that this was all true.

Chen Sheng took a deep breath, and then exhaled it heavily. He sighed with emotion: "We may have been deceived by those nobles and corrupt officials for too long. How can the Qin court be so vicious? It is clearly waiting for our people. It's just that the territory of Qin is too big. We simply couldn't take it into consideration, and the local officials were seriously deceiving the superiors and the inferiors, and some scholars spoke harshly to each other, which finally led us to regard Qin as our enemy."

"If you don't have a strong will and don't insist on going to Xianyang, how can you know these truths?"

"One leaf blocks your eyes, but you can't see Mount Tai."

"That's us."

Wu Guang smiled and nodded.

He sighed and said: "Brother Chen is right. If we didn't come to Xianyang and didn't explain to the court, how would we have the chance to know the truth? How would we have the chance to get these opportunities?"

"I, Wu Guang, have offended the county officials."

"In the future, it will be inevitable to face hardships and do corvee labor, but this kind of drudgery is destined to be meaningless. But now, even going to the frontier has become very meaningful."

"And did Brother Chen notice it?"

"This time His Highness seems to be deliberately using our hands and our mouths to publicize the current situation in the military. It seems that he wants more people from Guandong to enlist in the army. If my guess is correct, most of the benefits His Highness promised us will be used in the future. It can be delivered.”

"Because His Highness still needs to use us for publicity."

"So why not?"

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment.

He touched his beard and pondered for a moment, thoughtfully.

What Wu Guang said makes sense.

Fusu has been mentioning the matter of enlisting in the army in the Imperial Palace. He may not necessarily have any intention of wanting the people of Kanto to join the army, but the people of Kanto have always been very resistant to joining the army and their willingness is very low. If Fusu's idea can be implemented, this will undoubtedly It gave many people an opportunity and a channel to rise from Guizhou to local officials.

Until then.

There may be many more people in Kanto willing to join the army.

In this way, it also means that more officials from Guandong will enter the officialdom of Da Qin.

This then prevented the officials in Guanzhong from becoming one family.

Think of this.

Chen Sheng's eyes moved slightly.

Because if this is the case, it may not only be an opportunity, but also a high possibility for them to be promoted to a higher position, just like the officials of the Affairs Office.

immediately.

Chen Sheng's eyes darkened.

After all, they have too little knowledge.

The only way to make up for it is to join the army.

Chen Sheng said hummingly: "Then we will have something to do in the future. We finally got such an opportunity. If we still can't seize it, it would be a pity. Now that I think about it, His Highness has actually given us several opportunities. "

"If we had nodded in agreement before, the imperial court would indeed come forward to resolve some issues, but there are too many things in the world. Even if His Highness is the crown prince, it is impossible to cover everything. In the end, it will only be the same as before, just delaying it, but we If we can take this opportunity to embark on an official career, the injustices and injustices we have encountered may be truly dealt with."

"This may be what people in the world often say."

“Teaching a man to fish is the same as teaching a man to fish.”

"Those who gave up before chose to teach people how to fish, but the few hundred of us who persisted have a greater chance. We are teaching people how to fish."

Speaking of which.

Wu Guang also sighed softly.

"This is the brilliance of the imperial court."

"I never mention the intention of taking the exam, but I am taking the exam all the time."

"It's just that most people don't notice it. When they notice it in the future, they may regret it, but it's too late. What can be changed? Even then, there is no way to express dissatisfaction, because it is their own choice, and they all I gave up halfway, so who can I blame?"

"Nine out of ten people in this world are unhappy."

"But few succeed."

"Maybe that's the truth."

Both of them were silent.

Apart from being happy in my heart, I was also secretly lucky.

If they, like others, choose to give up midway and accept to let the imperial court deal with their own dissatisfaction, they may not have the chance to contact Fusu, let alone such a good opportunity. This mistake may really lead to eternal consequences. Hate it.

Fortunately.

They persisted until the end.

I also got the rewards and responses I deserved.

Thinking back on all this.

value! ! !
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile heartily.
