"Imperial Father, your son once heard Li Si say that Great Qin has 25 million people. Why is there a lack of talents in the Imperial Court?”
Instead of answering Ying Zheng's question directly, Fu Su asked him a question instead.
"The proportion of people of insight in Great Qin is still too low.”
Ying Zheng said with a frown.
"It's not just that. For example, Li Si, although talented, his career as an official was also very difficult. It was only when he met Father that he had the chance to show off.”
"You mean that there are actually many talents buried outside the royal court?”
Ying Zheng muttered.
"That's right."
"Actually, there are still many talents among the people. It's just that there's no stage for them to display their talents.”
Fu Su said confidently.
Xiao He, Han Xin, and the others were still nameless pawns, and their talents were ranked among the top in thousands of years of history.
"This means that there are loopholes in Great Qin's selection of talents.”
"Many talents may not be used in the right place even if they are discovered by the Imperial Court.”
"There's a saying that goes like this. A professional should do professional things.”
"For example, the position of county captain, which is in charge of public security and arresting thieves, is very suitable for those who have military merits.”
"The county magistrate's clerk and warehouse prison, not only must have a certain amount of talent, but also need to have a grasp of mathematical knowledge.
If you let them switch, one might not be able to defeat the Thief and be killed by the Thief.
The other would make a joke of applying for relief from the imperial court but not knowing how much money and food it would cost.”
"And those farming officials, if they don't know anything about farming, no matter how much they read, they won't be able to increase production. Instead, they will easily delay farming.”
"Thus, when the imperial court chooses and cultivates talents, it first has to be well-read and open up its channels.
After recruiting talents, they should be arranged according to their strengths and make the best use of them.
It was not like Great Qin, which placed great importance on Legalism and used many Legalists, ignoring the true requirements of the positions.”
"If we don't reform, not only will Great Qin's talent shortage not shrink, but it will also become more and more urgent as the territory continues to expand.”
Fu Su said in a deep voice.
Meng Yi was startled. Although he knew that what Fu Su said made sense, he was still too bold to speak so bluntly in front of Ying Zheng.
These words seemed to be euphemistic, but in fact, they were all showing that Ying Zheng had placed too much emphasis on the Dharma Master, Li Si, and others, and was suspected of nepotism.
Meng Yi hurriedly glanced at Ying Zheng, only to see that the First Emperor's face was not sullen, but rather thoughtful. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Fu Su smiled faintly.
He dared to say this because he had the confidence.
One of the main reasons why the First Emperor was able to create great achievements that others could not achieve was that he was magnanimous, tolerant, and knew how to use people. He also valued friendship and loyalty, winning over people's hearts.
Ying Zheng had been on the throne for so long, but he had never killed a single hero.
In comparison, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, had begun to suppress and ostracize Han Xin before he had even settled down internally. He had killed a bunch of meritorious officials, and the generals were all in danger. That was why there was the humiliating siege of Bai Deng.
He had missed the opportunity to expand in the early stages of his business.
Moreover, the reason why the weak Song army had always been a coward was because Zhao Kuangyin had been afraid that his subordinates would rebel and had directly given up his military power. From then on, the Song army had been unable to recover, leaving behind a root of disaster.
For someone like Wang Jian, who had destroyed several countries in a row and had made outstanding contributions, if it was Liu Bang, Zhao Kuangyin, and the others, they would definitely not be able to survive.
However, in Great Qin, under Ying Zheng, Wang Jian had always been living well, and his relationship with Ying Zheng was both a teacher and a friend, so he was greatly respected by Ying Zheng.
Fu Su had proposed to let Great Qin unify the world because of this.
With Ying Zheng's magnanimity, he would not have to worry about shocking his master no matter how great his achievements were. Only then would he be able to focus on expanding his territory, and bring honor to his ancestors.
Only then did the civil officials dare to raise all sorts of objections and not agree against their will.
"Continue."
A thoughtful look appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he waved his hand and said.
"That is, we have to recruit more talents and nurture more talents.”
"When hiring talents, you have to be flexible.”
"When cultivating talents, you must be willing to spend a lot of money. In each county, set up more official schools so that talented poor people can get plans to study and improve. The more you cultivate, the higher the probability of producing talents.”
"Moreover, every time we nurture a batch of talents, we can keep a portion of them as teachers. With this cycle, Great Qin will no longer have to worry about talents!”
Fu Su explained patiently.
" Is it the same for the Six Nations?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
The remnants of the Six Nations had always been a thorn in his side.
"Imperial Father, they are now citizens of Great Qin.”
"Moreover, your son will say something disgraceful. Other than a small number of stubborn remnants of the Six Nations, the majority of the people only want to eat, wear, and have more children. Why would they care about Great Qin or anything else?”
"They're following the Six Nations to stir up trouble. At most, they're just trying to gain fame.”
" Now that we've taught them knowledge and given them the opportunity to improve, they can't be more grateful. How could they give up the bright future they have in their hands and follow the remnants of the six dynasties whose future is unpredictable?”
"On the contrary, if this continues, the land that the remnants of the six countries can survive in will become narrower and narrower, and fewer and fewer people will be fooled by them.”
"Why not kill two birds with one stone?”
"Moreover, the academy was established by Great Qin, so the content of the lessons is not up to Imperial Father.
He could add relevant content to his homework to increase the students 'recognition of Great Qin and develop their loyalty to Great Qin.”
"We can use them to guide the commoners and completely eliminate the concept of the Six Nations, leaving only the concept of Great Qin.”
"Moreover, if we can't even deal with the commoners of the Central Plains, how can Great Qin hope to unify the world?”
Fu Su glanced at Ying Zheng and said.
"Your words do make some sense.”
Ying Zheng remained silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.
