Chapter 82 Alien Scholar
Handan, Qin Yiren Mansion, is a busy scene, from Qin Yiren himself to the servants, all of which are in a hurry and busy manner, as if there is something big.
As time approaches, many scholars and scholars have arrived in Handan. With their arrival, Qin Yiren, the organizer, had to arrange food and accommodation for them, so he was naturally very busy.
Qin Yiren has no one to call at the moment, and he has to do many things himself. It’s not that Qin Yiren didn’t think about recruiting people, but that he couldn’t find a suitable one for a while.
Fortunately, Wang Wan helped him. Although Wang Wan was not as innovative as Li Si, he was smart, capable, and heavy, and he was sure to do things. However, Wang Wan also had a big deal. He wanted to assist Sima Geng to recruit talents and promote Qin's national policy. He didn't have much time to help Qin Yiren.
"Young Master, it won't work if we continue like this." Meng Zhaohong red eyes and reminded Qin Yiren: "There are more and more scholars coming here, and we have more and more affairs, and our staff is limited, so we can't be busy."
The reason why his eyes were red and blood-filled was because he was too busy and could not rest well. There were too many things to do. Qin Yiren sent Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Lu Jujian, guards and servants out, and then he barely maintained it.
"Don't worry." Qin Yiren didn't take it seriously and said, "There are people. There must be talents among these scholars who are good at dealing with and dispatching. We should pay more attention to it, draw them out and give them wages, and they will definitely help."
This is a good way to solve the current difficulties. Meng Zhao focused on it and said, "Good idea. I'll do it now." He turned around and left.
Meng Zhao was about to leave, Ma Gai came in with red eyes and reported to Qin Yiren, saying, "Young master, there are many scholars and scholars who have arrived. This is the list." He handed a piece of parchment to Qin Yiren.
Qin Yiren took it, spread it and browsed it. His mouth suddenly opened, his eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.
"Young Master, why did you give birth?" Ma Gai saw it and was puzzled.
Isn't it just a list, what's there to be surprised about?
There are several famous figures on the list: Wei Liao, Han Fei, Li Si, Cai Ze, Yao Jia, Dun Lue, Pang Xian... Which one is not famous in later generations?
Among them, Wei Liao, Han Fei and Li Si are even more well-known. More than two thousand years have passed and are still admired by countless people.
Wei Liao, the "military advisor" of the Unification War launched by Qin Shihuang, planned this war with a profound impact on Chinese history and unified China.
Han Fei, a master of the Legalists, is a famous genius in Chinese history. His thoughts have far-reaching influence. Two thousand years have passed and are still praised by countless people.
Li Si, a famous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, became famous in one fell swoop and praised by countless descendants. He strongly demanded the abolition of feudal division and the implementation of the county system. This is a major event in Chinese history and is well maintained for the maintenance of unification. If Li Si had not refuted those conservative, ignorant, and insisted on the feudal division, there would be no county system, and it would be difficult to have a unified China. Qin Shihuang's war of unification became meaningless, and Chinese history would fall into the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Their names are listed. How could Qin Yiren not be surprised?
"That's great!" Qin Yiren shouted, his face full of joy.
Qin Yiren held a ceremony of tying titaniums, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone. First, if he wants to become famous, he needs a dance name, which is essential for this ceremony of tying titaniums. Second, he must take the opportunity to recruit a group of talents and prepare for the future unification of the world. Without talents, the king and the king are all empty talk, and only by gathering a group of heroic people can success.
Qin Yiren had thought about the future stars such as Wei Liao, Han Fei, and Li Si, and had hoped that they would come. They might not be able to recruit them now, at least they would make good connections to lay the foundation for future recruitment. However, Qin Yiren was not sure whether they could come. They would come, or one or two or not?
What Qin Yiren could not have imagined was that they all came. Is there anything more joy than this that made Qin Yiren happy?
"Ma Gai, immediately send a post to Wei Liao, Han Fei, Li Si, Cai Ze, Pang Nuan, Yao Jia, and the others, and said I would invite them to dinner tonight." Qin Yiren's eyes shone and he kept rubbing his hands, very excited.
"Young Master, isn't this good?" Magai didn't know that these people were future stars and would shine with an extremely brilliant light in the future war of unification.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "Meng Zhao reminded me that there was not enough staff and no one was in charge of the business, so it fell on them."
Wei Liao, Han Fei, Li Si, Cai Ze, Pang Nuan, Yao Jia, and Dunwei are all future stars. It would be better to ask them to help manage affairs. With their help, this ritual will not be successful.
"Since that's the case, I'll do it." Ma Gai slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something, and said, "Young Master, these people are all foreign scholars, and they are also here to participate in the ritual of ceremonies."
"A foreign scholar?" Qin Yiren was quite surprised.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was actually an era when China and the barbarians lived together. Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period, foreign races invaded the Central Plains on a large scale and almost occupied the Central Plains. Fortunately, the Five Hegemons fought and defeated the alien races.
"Zhongshan Kingdom" is a small kingdom established by foreign races after invading the Central Plains. It existed for hundreds of years before it was destroyed.
During the Warring States Period, Hu Feng not only did not weaken, but became even more prosperous. Hu Feng in Zhao was the most famous because of King Wuling of Zhao's national policy of "Hu Clothing, Horseback and Shooting". It was not surprising to see foreign races and high officials of foreign races in Handan.
However, Qin Yiren had never thought about it and had to be surprised when he came to participate in the ritual ceremony.
"Young Master, this is a good thing." Ma Gai reminded, saying: "Even foreign races know about the rituals, the rituals will definitely succeed."
Even foreign races knew about the squeezing ceremony, and they all rushed to participate in the squeezing ceremony, which showed that the squeezing ceremony had a great influence. This was a great good thing. Qin Yiren nodded slightly and agreed with this.
"Young Master, this Wusunluo is the prince of the Wusun tribe of the Huns. He admires Chinese civilization, reads Chinese books, and comes from the desert to participate in the ritual of squeezing the ritual." Ma Gai pointed to the three words "Wusunluo" in the list.
Looking back on the arrogance of the Huns' leaders that day, even the Huns' leaders could see it. It is not surprising that a prince from a small tribe appeared in Handan.
"There is also the prince of the Shanrong tribe of the Donghu Mountains." Ma Gai pointed to the three words "Shanrong Fu".
The nomadic peoples in the north have been a border trouble that has plagued China for thousands of years. There have been nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia. Some of them are nuisances on the border, and some even attack the Central Plains and establish dynasties.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the northern border troubles were not only the Xiongnu, but also the Donghu in the northeast, the Qiang, Loulan, Linhu, Hunxie, Xiutu in the northwest... these nomadic peoples.
The Donghu lived in the northeast for many years. The Shanrong tribe was a very famous Donghu tribe at that time. It often disturbed Yan State and made Yan State miserable. Yan general Qin Kai, and Qin General Sima Cuo, all attacked Hu in Liaodong in his later years, and the Donghu tribe was attacked.
"And this, Bogya is the prince of the Borg tribe of Yue tribe." Magai pointed to the three words "Borgya" on the roster to explain to Qin Yiren.
Why is China called "China"? Simply put, China is "a country located in the center of the world."
The world our ancestors believed was certainly not the earth we now recognize, the whole world, but the world centered on the Central Plains, and its size is not as big as China today.
The Central Plains mainly refers to the current Henan and Hebei area, which was located in the center of the time. Around the Central Plains, they were all "barbarians", namely the Eastern Yi, Western Rong, Southern Barbarians, and Northern Di. These were border troubles at that time, and the Central Plains were invaded all the time.
Who solved the Dongyi? It was conquered by King Zhou, who had been infatuated for thousands of years.
King Zhou was the first emperor in Chinese history to lead his troops to the coast of the East China Sea. He devoted his main energy to managing the Dongyi land, and his army also moved in this area. This made King Wu of Zhou take advantage of the loophole and suddenly raise an army to attack Zhou. King Zhou's army could not be transferred back and would not be allowed to arm slaves to fight. These slaves turned against the battlefield. This is the origin of the "Muye Battle".
Why did these slaves turn against each other on the battlefield? Because the historical materials are incomplete, it is difficult to explain clearly. It is very likely that they cannot stand the violence of King Zhou as the Zhou emperor whitewashed himself. It is very likely that these slaves were the people of the Dongyi people. Because it was a slave society at that time, King Zhou conquered the Dongyi land and would definitely capture a large number of slaves. These Dongyi slaves would definitely hold a grudge against King Zhou. King Wu of Zhou offered good conditions, so it was inevitable that they would turn against each other.
Who solved the Western Rong? It was solved by Duke Mu of Qin.
The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic tribe in the Longxi River Valley. At the request of King Ping of Zhou, he sent troops to Guanzhong, defeated the Western Rong troops, and recovered Haojing. Seeing that Haojing was broken and the palace in Luoyang was intact, King Ping of Zhou gave up Haojing and moved the capital to Luoyang. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty (Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period) began.
After the Qin tribe entered Guanzhong, they fought against the Western Rong and achieved great results. However, they could not fundamentally solve the problem. It was not until Qin Mu Duke appointed Rong people with Yu as military advisors and destroyed more than 20 Western Rong countries. Qin became a great country at that time, and Qin Mu Duke became one of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period".
Beidi has always been a problem, and the Central Plains cannot be challenged.
The Southern Barbarians were mainly the land of Jingchu, and finally developed into the State of Chu. The State of Chu occupied a large area and dared to challenge the Emperor of Zhou. The Emperor of Zhou was angry and fought against the Southern Barbarians in the south. The State of Chu finally ended with thatch for sacrifices. After several evolutions, the State of Chu was recognized by the Central Plains and became one of the seven major warring countries.
The State of Chu is not the southernmost place. There is also a tribe south of the State of Chu, which is the "Yue tribe". In the Warring States Period, the place where the Yue tribe was located was the south of the Five Ridges, mainly in the current places of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Vietnam.
The Yue tribe praised the State of Chu. Of course, this is theoretically, but it is nominally a vassal state of Chu. The Chu state cannot effectively control the Yue tribe, but only symbolically collects some tributes.
At that time, the Yue tribe admired the Central Plains civilization, and from time to time, Yue people appeared in the Central Plains. It was not uncommon for a Yue prince to come to participate in the competition.
"There are also scholars from Hunxie, Xiu Tu, Loulan and Hu Lin. They are all here. Young Master, the ceremony of pursuing talents is well known." Ma Gai almost sang it.
The participation of scholars from different races is the best proof that the ceremonies are widely known. How can you not be happy?
"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "Have you checked their identities?"
"Don't worry, young master, I've checked it, no problem." Ma Gai is a smart person, so he will naturally do things in his head.
