Some words can be said to spies, some words cannot be said, and some words are useless if they say them.

Wu Qi had his own plans for the Xihe affairs, the Mozhe affairs, and the Qin emperor's affairs.

He said that a young talent may not be inferior to a big talent, and he did not say it casually, but had his own considerations.

He is considered a politician in Xihe, so he does not need "politician" such as Modi and Qin Huali to come to Xihe.

These people do have great talents, but their talents are great enough to formulate policies rather than just implement them. This means that unless it is consistent with Wu Qi's view of the interests of the world, it is impossible to talk about them, let alone use them.

What Wu Qi needs are batches of grassroots officials. They don’t need to understand the world, interests, origins, etc., they just need to be able to implement the established policies.

Picking the gourd... It sounds very simple, but when you really need such a manpower, Wu Qi felt that there were too few such people and it was too difficult, and it was definitely not as simple as it sounded.

Wu Qi knew the talents of Mo Zhai and others, including the talent that had just become famous and the things like Xiongwen Caobo Xingu were passed down to Wei. Wu Qi recognized them, and they were quite recognized.

But it is precisely because these people are so talented that they have their own understanding of the world and interests, and have formed their own set of ideas to explain the world, so they cannot be used or used.

On the contrary, those who do not have too many talents, but who can abide by the discipline of the Ink Man, implement the rules of the Ink Man, and learn some words are what they want most.

The Wei State does not need to be in charge of the generals for the time being, but officials and scholars are needed.

Wu Qi did not doubt the authenticity of the news from Jiao He, a spy in Peidi.

After being surprised, he did not become too vigilant to Mozhe, but he became vigilant to Mr. Qin who fled to live in Weidu.

Lao Dan once said: When the superiors heard the Tao, they should practice diligently; when the middle men heard the Tao, they should be alive or dead; when the inferiors heard the Tao, they should laugh. Not laughing is not enough to be the Tao.

In any case, from the perspective of ability alone, Wu Qi can undoubtedly be called a sergeant, so he sees it further than ordinary people.

He believed that the things that Mozhe did in Peidi were true, that the things of Jiahe could be done to that extent, that the importance of the meaning of the book of silhouettes, that the connotation of the art of governance that ordinary people hidden inside numbers could not touch... and even believed that the inferences about the so-called paradise were reasonable.

But, what's the use?

Wu Qi believes that Mo's understanding of the world is wrong, human nature is wrong, and power is wrong.

It was like a fast horse, a thousand-mile horse that Bole was interested in, but it was obviously supposed to go north, but it was galloping south.

Even if it is faster than other horses, it is still impossible to achieve the goal.

Just like what Mozhe calls valuing wise men, this is excellent, but what is considered a wise man?

Just like what the Mohist calls the synonym of the upper and lower parts, this is excellent, but what is the same meaning?

Regarding the matter of Shangxian selecting officials, Wu Qi highly recognized the statements from Jiao He that "the trial measures for Shangxian after the appearance of grass and silk" were reported.

There are many remarks from the ink masters, but as long as those remarks are removed, they can not only be listened to or even used.

He had seen Caobo in Anyi.

Those characters that have been simplified and standardized after any word can be divided into eight strokes have also been seen.

Because those ink people have already relied on those shops, merchants or local ink people to spread those things.

Overnight, the people of Anyi chanted "Blue, taken from blue, and better than blue; ice, water, and colder than water..."

Those few pieces of grass and silk passed here also confirm the future of those ink masters.

Those words that can be divided into eight strokes are more convenient than the original words.

In conjunction with the methods of how to respect the virtuous in the future and how to select talents, we can imagine a colorful and foundational and detailed future.

But Wu Qi thought Mozhe was too stupid, so stupid that he really wanted to benefit the world.

But I forgot that there was a master named Zhongni, and Zhongni had a disciple named Zixia. Zixia came to Xihe. Schools emerged in Xihe. The school was well-known for its own understanding of the world. Moreover, this school has been rooted for a long time and is full of talents.

Those who use grass, silk and ink can use it, and those who use eight-brush characters, but others can use it.

A sword can kill or save people. The key is who holds it in his hand.

The Zixia School was originally rooted in the Xihe River. If you can ask for the method of making the grass and silk of the Mozhe, you will use the method of teaching the disciples and disciples of the Mozhe, and there will be no stagnation.

Synonyms, of course, must be synonyms, but what is this meaning?

To respect virtuousness, of course, you must respect virtuousness, but how can you be considered virtuous?

Those who do not believe in the meaning of ink can still use grass and silk, eight-stroke characters, select the virtuous test, and farming methods...

Wei is the only country today that may use Mo's man, which seems to be "fantasy" in selecting and cultivating officials.

Because Wei was the only country with a close school of official affairs, at least at this time, and the school's ideas were basically unified, with only a few differences.

This is exactly what Mohist calls "synonyms". It is just the same as "Zixia Confucianism", not the meaning of "Mohist".

As long as this "righteousness" is guaranteed to be monopolized, the selected wise men must agree with the policies of the Wei people and at the same time become good officials.

The Mozhe wants to benefit the world is too difficult, and it is impossible to achieve in Wu Qi's opinion.

Therefore, Wu Qi was not worried that those Mozhe who were far away in Pei, who could make things that could make him, Ximen Bao, Duan Ganmu, Li Ju, and even make Wei Hou applaud, could threaten his ambitions and Wei's hegemony.

On the contrary, the continuous spread of things for the sake of "benefiting the world" will only make Wei stronger.

As for whether it is not attacking... it depends on the king's idea. Will an ambitious king do such a thing as a non-aggressive one? Why should a king without ambitions respect the virtuous?

Therefore, Wu Qi is not alert or worried about Mo people, because Mo people's understanding of the world and equality of people is simply a waste of the world, and it is impossible for the king to be popular in the world, and it is even more impossible for the king to believe it.

Can things be accomplished without the support of the king?

Wu Qi thought this could not be done. Without Weiss' support, he could not be done anything.

If you can’t do anything, what are you worried about?

On the contrary, Wu Qi was full of vigilance about the rebellion of Mo by Master Qin Lian to win over Sheng Chuo.

He had his own opinion and was convinced that he had to report this matter to the Marquis of Wei as soon as possible.

Because he is the guard of Xihe, the enemy he faces is Qin, so he is more vigilant than others.

It is not a secret that Mr. Qin has gathered Shengchuo and other rebels, especially after the Wei people personally hired Shengchuo but was rejected.

Rebel Mo will not talk about any righteousness or injustice.

But Weiss also values ​​talents and neglects virtues. Those who eat their sons, kill their wives, ignore their sons' death and hatred, and have been rogues in the market... They can all be famous all over the world in Wei.

Besides, Wu Qi and Li Kui made suggestions, Weiss really wanted to recruit Rong Chuo and others, just like Duan Ganmu that year.

But those rebel Mo refused and instead surrendered to the current seemingly hopeless Young Master Qin.

Wu Qi knew that although the Qin people were defeated repeatedly and lost the Xihe River, the Qin people were a country of thousands of miles and had become hegemony. Moreover, the surrounding situation was not as dangerous as Song and Zheng. It was not that they were in the four battles, and as long as they seized the opportunity, there would always be a chance to rise.

It can be said that Weis was full of vigilance towards Qin, otherwise he would not have put a talent like Wu Qi on the Xihe River.

Mr. Qin, who was kind to the escape, also had this consideration.

During the rebellion of the Six Qings of Jin, many losers of the Zhi family fled to Qin. Did Weis and the Qin people have the same chaotic relationship between Qin and Jin, and there was no reason to take in Gongzi Lian.

As long as you have the opportunity in the future, you can send the prince to Qin and support a pro-Wei vassal regime.

The Qin people are not stupid. Every Qin monarch hopes to change the situation where aristocratic chaos in politics, and even dethrone the king and force the king to commit suicide.

The power of the monarch and the power of the nobles are the biggest contradictions, even if Qin Jun Ying Daozi is now a coup.

When he was in the arena, he naturally hoped that the nobles would have great power and the king would have little power; when he came on the stage, he would inevitably hope that the king would have great power and the nobles would have little power.

Now the Qin people have lost consecutively and are no longer as good as Duke Mu, so the Qin king Ying Daozi also made some reforms.

In order to fight against the private land system of Xihe, the Qin people who were in the Xihe return home, and a large number of Qin people fled to Wei, the Qin people have also begun to impose private acres taxes in Qin: the legality of those private fields is recognized, and this matter is unresolved. The king can use the reason of destroying the well-field etiquette system to deal with the great nobles who have a large number of private fields at any time. It is one thing to dare to do it, and it is another thing to have an excuse to do it.

Not only the reform of private acre tax, the Qin people's hierarchy also showed a little loosening. Originally, carrying a sword was just a privilege of the nobles, but Ying Daozi still opened up a hole in the hierarchy on the grounds that the Qin people wanted to fight privately and even need officials to wear swords to defend themselves.

The untouchables in Qin State can finally wear swords. Whether they can afford it is one thing, but it is another thing to be born without the qualification to match swords.

This reform caused some concerns among the Wei people.

But in Wu Qi's opinion, there is no need to worry at all.

Even if the Qin people reformed, they would have to fight against the massacre and bloody storm of the old nobles, and it would not be possible to succeed in a short period of time.

Even if there are reforms, then where are there so many wise grassroots officials?

The Qin people were located in the western front, and their strategy of advancing eastward to suppress Jin and moving southward to Bashu was completely failed within a hundred years, completely blocking their ties with the Central Plains.

Wei is located in the Central Plains, and the wanderers from all countries can easily come to Wei. This is the basis for the change of Wei State, a new class independent of the old nobles and without the power of a large family.

This is true for Wu Qi, Le Yang, Duan Ganmu and others. They will naturally stand on the side of the king and fight against the constrained nobles - because they have nothing but the trust of the king, and they can only stand on the side of strengthening the king's power.

These people, as what Wu Qi called "political control", fought against the nobles who "conservatively governed".

Of course, some "order implementers" are also needed to be grassroots officials, so as to improve the distribution of power after the reform of the Wei State.

Zixia was in Xihe and left a huge legacy for Wei State: the Xihe School made Wei State the cultural center of the Three Jins, and constantly relied on lectures to create endless grassroots officials.

Even though Ying Daozi wants to change now, and seems to have done two things that seem to be ambitious and thought to be later, in the eyes of the senior executives of the Wei State, it is still early.

Fight against the old nobles and cultivate a large number of new grassroots officials.

These two complement each other: without enough scholars, down-and-out nobles and other grassroots officials, they will not be able to fight against the old nobles. If they fail to compete for power with the old nobles, the king will not be able to promote a large number of new nobles.

Qin was not early, but at least it was earlier than Wei, who had just been appointed as a marquis this year.

After the rebellion of the Six Qings of Jin, after so long, the nobles of Wei had just gained a foothold and had not yet formed a deep-rooted and unshakable group. There were no constraints from the old nobles, so the reforms of the Three Jins were easier.

But the Qin nobles were too powerful and could not compare with the Three Jins.

The reform of Wei State seemed simple but not bloody, because the aristocratic class of Wei State was not yet formed, so it could bypass this stage of life and death. However, Wei could bypass, but Qin could not.
