Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 38
"Excuse me, my lord, has this shopkeeper ever beaten someone?" Wei Liao asked unhurriedly.

Wei Liao is a person with good etiquette, how can he easily beat someone, Wei Liao didn't put a finger on those profiteers just now, the official was stunned for a moment, and said: "No."

Wei Liao then asked: "According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, my shopkeeper is not guilty of private fighting. Dare I ask your lord, where is my crime?" very slippery.

Obviously, after receiving the report, the official came in a hurry, didn't know much about the case, opened his mouth a few times, clenched his fists, and said: "The shopkeeper is overthinking, I want the shopkeeper to go back and be a witness. "

"Let's strike while the iron is hot." Knowing that the time is ripe, Wei Liao said, "Since this is the case, I dare not try my best. My lord, what I have seen is a fight, but it is not a private fight."

The official frowned, looked at Wei Liao, and asked in puzzlement: "Those people have been beaten up like that, isn't it a private fight?" With a gesture of his hand, several soldiers escorted those profiteers up, The official said: "Look, people have become like this, what else do you have to say?"

As for the resolution of the case, Wei Liao's ability is second to none, the official's question like this is exactly what he likes, and he said with a smile: "My lord, my lord, what is a private fight?"

The official frowned. It was obvious that he didn't want to answer this question. Due to the situation, he had to answer, "A private fight is when two or more people fight together."

"Thank you, Sir, for clearing up my shopkeeper's doubts." Wei Liaozi clasped his fists and said, "These people were beaten, I saw it with my own eyes, it's true."

Those who participated in the beating of some profiteers changed their faces after hearing what he said, and they didn't know how many times they had scolded Wei Liao in their hearts.

Wei Liao didn't seem to notice their unlucky faces, and continued: "The ones who beat them were from this street. As far as this shopkeeper knows, the fights were all because the two sides refused to give in, and they thought they were justified. My lord, it's this Reasonable?"

The official nodded and said: "I didn't see that you, the shopkeeper, still have such a shrewd mind. Yes, as long as one side of the private fight does not fight, it will fail." thing.

Wei Liao slapped his palm lightly, and said: "Your Excellency is wise. People in the street beat them, why? It's all because they committed public anger. Sir, please see, this is the regulation of our store. All the paper and pens bought in this store They can’t use it for profit. They bought pens and paper from this shop at a low price, and sold them to envoys of various countries at the corner at ten times the profit, making huge profits. These scholars waited hard, but they couldn’t buy them. Not popular?"

The official nodded silently.

Wei Liao went on to say: "These traitors know they are short of breath, and they can only escape under the public anger. If so many people really beat them, they will lose ten more lives. The shopkeeper said That's all, please judge."

The official waved his hand and said: "Let them go. Take them down and keep them in custody until I deal with them." Turning around, he clasped his fists at Wei Liao and said, "Shopkeeper, you have such talent and learning, but you are bent in the middle of the shop. , It’s too condescending. If the shopkeeper does not give up, please go back with me and be my staff. When I see the king, I will recommend it to the king. The king is thirsty for talents. Use it more."

The key to the prosperity of the Qin State lies in a large number of talents in the Qin State. Most of these talents are not from the Qin State, but from the six countries of Shandong. Many of them were not reused in the six countries of Shandong, let alone insulted. In Qin State, the gentleman will change immediately, and he will occupy a high position.

Needless to say, Shang Yang, the key figure in Qin's strengthening.Zhang Yi traveled to other countries, hoping to use it in the country of Shandong.When he was in the state of Chu, he was framed for stealing Baoyu and beaten to death.His wife complained about him, but she knew how to lobby but was humiliated in vain. He pointed to his tongue and asked if his wife had it.His wife didn't know what he meant, so she replied yes.He said that as long as there is a three-inch tongue, there will be no worries about wealth.

Zhang Yi's situation was not bad, he was just beaten up, and his life was not in danger.It was much worse for Fan Sui, who made contributions to the Wei State, not only did not receive rewards, but was framed, beaten, ribs were broken, teeth were knocked out, he passed out and almost died.That's not counting, what's even worse is that the nobles took advantage of him to pass out and drenched countless urine.

Han Xin has been humiliated by his crotch and has been passed down through the ages. How many people are there like Fan Sui?It can be said that life has been so humiliated!Don't say that Fan Sui is such a high-minded person, but any self-respecting person would swear revenge to the death.It was only later that in order to avenge Fan Wei, King Qin Zhao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Wei State, forcing Fan Wei's enemy Wei Qi to death.

Later generations praised King Wen's courtesy to the Grand Duke, Henkel's worship of Han Xin, and a beautiful talk through the ages. How many people have praised the king of Qin for his courtesy to his ministers?King Zhao of Qin did not hesitate to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to avenge Fan Sui. Can King Wen Han Gao do it?It's a pity that later generations don't pass it on!

"I have heard for a long time that the people of the Qin State, whether they are the king or the ministers, are known for discovering talents. It is true. No wonder Fan Sui can occupy a high position with a humiliated body. Attracting talented people, this may be the reason why the Qin State can become stronger." Wei Wei Liao lamented in his heart Qin Guo's wide network of recruiting talents, and said: "This shopkeeper is just telling the truth, and I dare not be an adult to praise you."

The reason why Fan Sui was able to go to the state of Qin was that Wang Ji, the envoy sent by the state of Qin to the state of Wei, hid him in a car and escaped from the state of Wei.Wang Ji said a sentence in Wei State that is worth thinking about. When he saw Zheng Anping, the man who rescued Fan Sui, he asked Zheng Anping the first sentence: "Will there be a talented person in Wei State who can go westward?" Zheng Anping saw Wang Ji The purpose was to let him take Fan Sui to Qin, and they hit it off immediately, and Fan Sui was able to reach the sky in one step.

Even an envoy knows how to recruit talents. Can Qin be strong?It should not be the case that "The Book of Songs" praised Zhou Wenwang's verse "Great toast, great success!" People of later generations, especially Confucianism, often blamed the Qin people, but ignored the uniqueness of the Qin people in the use of talents, which is lamentable !

Seeing the King of Qin, it was Wei Liao's wish to show what he had learned in his chest and display his ambitions, but he still didn't want to go back with an internal historian of Xianyang, let alone be his aide.There are two main reasons. One is that although Neishi is the highest official in charge of Xianyang, he doesn't have much time to see King Qin, and it will take a long time.Another reason is that Wei Liao likes freedom and doesn't want to be restrained. It's better to be a shopkeeper than to be a staff member and be restrained by trivial matters.

The official's surname is Cao and his name is Bo.Xianyang is the capital city, and the central government implemented by the Qin State is directly managed, which is equivalent to the current municipality directly under the central government, and the highest official is the internal history.Very sincerely said: "It's a pity that Mr. is so talented and learned. It's a pity to give in to this. Now the king is a great man, and he is about to do things in the East. With Mr.'s talent, why don't you worry about not being able to develop your ambition?"

"Thank you sir for your kindness. The grassroots love mountains and rivers and have no intention of being an official. Please help the grassroots." Wei Liao said again.

Cao Bo sat down and said, "It's a pity that Mister doesn't want to go back with Cao Bo. Cao Bo has to be a gentleman once, and if Mister doesn't go back with Cao Bo, Cao Bo will have the audacity not to leave. "
