Therefore, it was not necessarily a derogatory term to say that a mother was a mother. These people were anti-Qin not only because they were greedy for power.
Most importantly, Great Qin did not want them!
It was a pity that they were full of talent and could not be put in an important position. The path of promotion was monopolized by Old Qin Corporation. They could either fight with the rebellion or starve for the rest of their lives.
The difference between the two would tempt anyone!
Moreover, it hadn't been long since Great Qin destroyed the six countries, so it was normal for some people to be nostalgic.
"Even if there are those who miss their homeland and covet the rich and powerful, not all the talents in the world think so, right?”
Zhao Long calmly said," Then why didn't they come to Great Qin to become officials and work for Great Qin instead of taking the risk and risking being chased by hundreds of thousands of Great Qin's soldiers to pledge loyalty to the Six Nations?”
"This…"
Hearing Zhao Long's question, Feng Quji was speechless.
That's right, since he was a talent, why didn't he work for Great Qin? Why did he have to take the risk?
Wasn't this just looking for excitement?
Of course, Feng Quji and the others knew the reason.
The Great Qin Imperial Court was mostly made up of Old Qin people.
As a result, Great Qin's high-ranking officials were all controlled by Old Qin's nobles.
Although Great Qin's principle was that only the capable could hold official titles, and titles could not be inherited.
However!
The Imperial Court drew a circle in advance.
This circle was the people of Old Qin. All the choices had to be made among the people of Old Qin.
As for the other talents, the Imperial Court did not completely ignore them…
However, they weren't important at all, or they were actually used.
For example, Qin Shihuang had chosen dozens of Confucian talents to become doctors.
Doctor…
Unlike modern doctors, the Qin Dynasty established doctors as officials. They were used to manage books and classics and were familiar with historical matters.
In other words…
It was Great Qin's Library's administrators…
An idle position…
And at the local level, they would also use some local talents, such as Xiao He.
However, he was only limited to being a minor official in the local area.
As for the official positions in the imperial court and the core positions in the local areas, he would not give them a single one!
In other words, from the old Qin man's point of view, either you don't give it to him, or you can only be a sinecure!
After all, the people of Old Qin had supported Great Qin for hundreds of years and sacrificed a lot to be the victors.
Why should the fruits of victory be distributed to the people of the Six Eastern Nations?
You might be people of Great Qin, but you are only newcomers to Great Qin, and your ancestors are Great Qin's enemies!
Therefore, the core benefits of a high-ranking official position cannot be shared with you.
Of course, this wasn't completely greedy and unreasonable.
However…
Doing so greatly affected Great Qin's rule and strength.
This was because before Great Qin unified, Old Qin only had four to five million people, while the Six Eastern Kingdoms had around 20 million people.
If you are so clear-cut and do not share the profits, aren't you excluding the 20 million people of the East and not sharing the interest?
As such, it was true that the Central Plains had no soldiers in the years that Great Qin had ruled the world, but it was still lacking in terms of national prosperity and people's peace.
"They…"
Feng Quji smacked his lips and hesitated.
"Minister Feng, please tell me why."
Zhao Long looked at Feng Quji calmly and asked.
"Naturally…"
Feng Quji said in a serious tone," They are too greedy. It's not like the imperial court doesn't give them a chance. There are many jobs in the prefectures and counties below, but they are not satisfied with this and want to seek high positions. This is naturally their fault..."
"Haha…"
Their fault?
Zhao Long smiled and said," Then, are they Great Qin's citizens?”
"If they were Great Qin's citizens, they would naturally be loyal to Great Qin. However, if they were loyal, why would they not be willing to serve Great Qin?”
Feng Quji couldn't help but ask.
Hehe, this was the greed and selfishness of human nature…
On the one hand, they wanted to monopolize and monopolize, but on the other hand, they blamed others for not being willing to accept it.
However, this was basically the case for all the nobles in the past.
As long as this benefit was given to him, it was justified. If he took it back and changed it again, it would not work!
So why was the change of dynasties so bloody, and why did the defenders resist so fiercely?
That was because it had affected their interests!
"Minister Feng is right. In that case, should we turn all these talents into petty officials or find a way to kill them all?”
Zhao Long chuckled and asked.
“……”
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Feng Quji's expression froze, and he said in a rather annoyed tone," If they're loyal to Great Qin, they can stay. If they threaten Great Qin, they should be killed!”
"Alright, let's put the matter of talent aside for the time being.”
Zhao Long smiled." I said just now that the threat of the remnants of the Six Nations is not in themselves, but in the people and the rioters who rebelled against them. Now that I've said that, I should say rioters. Minister Feng, do you think the people will be willing to rebel with the remnants of the six countries?”
Huh?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Feng Quji's expression changed.
