Chapter 309 Recruiting talents

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??The sword fighting competition includes food and accommodation, so come and join in.

    Holding an international conference in this era requires a lot of time to prepare. After all, just traveling takes a long time.  And the swordsmen and swordsmiths who can become famous in this era of backward information dissemination have more or less skills.

    Although the technology is backward, the rumors about the magic swordsman have never disappeared.  Times are progressing, society is involution, old professions cannot accommodate so many people, and new professions are being born.

    In the past, everyone had enough land no matter how many children they had.  But now the land is no longer enough. Whether they are nobles, scholars, countrymen or savages, they all need to find new ways out.

    The short-lived Han Feizi once raised this question. Couples will have children, and children will have children. It only takes a few decades for a couple to become a big family with a population of 20 or 30 people. Then the social management cost,  And will there be enough land resources?

    Han Feizi believed that it was useless to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. The objective condition was that the more people there were, the less land there would be.  In the time of Yao, Shun and Yu, there were few people and plenty of land, so everyone was polite. However, at the end of the Warring States period where he lived, there were many people and little land, so everyone could no longer be polite.

    Han Feizi believed that Confucianism¡¯s attempt to imitate Yao, Shun, and Yu was irrespective of objective conditions and was of no use at all.  It is a pity that he did not propose a solution to the contradiction between population and land, but only proposed how to rule a large population.  That's how to use it. If there are fewer people and more land, we can talk about benevolence and righteousness. If there are more people and less land, we need to be more critical.

    Before Han Feizi could come up with any more ideas, he was killed by Qin Shihuang because of Li Si's frame-up.

    In fact, having more people and less land is not unique to the Warring States Period. It existed during the Spring and Autumn Period.  It's just that from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, productivity was still developing. During the development process from bronze to iron, deep farming and fine cultivation were carried forward, and the yield of the land was still increasing, so the population became larger.  Han Feizi only discovered that the population was increasing, but he did not find that productivity was also changing. There was no improvement in productivity, and there was no population in the Warring States Period.

    After more than three hundred years of development from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the population increased, the output increased, and the number of retired scholars also increased, so there were more swordsmen.

    Swordsmen are usually scholars. Because the land has been cultivated, they can only leave the land to wander, or depend on others, or do odd jobs to sell some of their strength. Anyone who has a sword in his hand can call himself a swordsman.

    With more idle people, fights are inevitable. Those with weapons are naturally more powerful than those without weapons. If those with weapons continue to fight, the winner will naturally become famous and become a famous swordsman.

    ¡°After a swordsman becomes famous, he can make money by recruiting apprentices.  You no longer have to depend on others or do odd jobs.  So everyone knows the benefits of fame. Since fame is so useful, it is natural to say that the reputation of Sword Master is unparalleled. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first swordsman among princes and nations.

    With the title of Sword Master, you no longer have to worry about going hungry, not to mention that the King of Qi will reward you with treasures.  When it comes to gaining fame and fortune, the swordsmen are ready to embark on the journey.

    Half a year later, the news reached Qin State, which could be said to be a gust of wind blowing from east to west.  The Qin swordsmen prepared food and set off. It would take at least half a year to reach Qi in a hurry.

    So it took a full year from the decision to the sword fighting tournament to be held.

    Linzi is full of outsiders with various accents, but the same thing is that they all carry their own weapons and are all swordsmen.

    In order to manage these swordsmen who arrived first, Guan Zhong stipulated that no private fights were allowed, and those who fought privately would be disqualified from participating in the sword fighting competition. This order was still very effective.

    But there are still some reckless guys who will take the initiative to stir up trouble, so a swordsman security brigade organized by Guan Zhong came on stage to suppress the swordsmen who caused trouble.

    Actually, Yunyao doesn¡¯t understand why Guan Zhong wants to engage in such a big battle. Is there any political purpose?  Is it to promote the strength of Qi State, or to reassure friends?

    Even if we want to deal with Jiuyi, it seems that we don¡¯t need to gather swordsmen from all over the world.  It was as if an idea suddenly popped into Guan Zhong's mind and asked him to do it.

    In fact, looking back, Guan Zhong himself felt that he had made the matter too big. At that time, he just had a flash of inspiration and didn't think too much about it.  Although the sword fighting tournament has many benefits, running it well is a real test of strength.

    But now that the bow has been drawn, there is no turning back. All we can do is make the sword fighting tournament a success.

    Qi State has this national strength, and with the arrival of swordsmen, swordsmiths from various countries also come. If they are willing to stay in Qi State, they can greatly strengthen Qi State's military strength.

    Swordsmiths are the weapon designers of this era. The more swordsmiths there are, the more and more advanced weapons Qi will produce.

    So when the swordsmith comes, Guan Zhong is a thousandFang Baiji hoped they would stay.

    For a time, the kings of various countries said that Qi State was going too far in bullying others. This was simply an open poaching. There was nothing like this.  Is it great to have more money?  The State of Qi was originally a small country in the east, mixed with the Jiuyi people. How many pure-blooded people are there in the State of Qi now?  Aren't they all bastards?  Now that you are well and rich, you start poaching?  Is it tolerable or not?  Can't bear it

    "But it seems that there is nothing we can do if we can't bear it. Qi State's current strength really cannot be offended. Looking at it, who can beat Qi State?"

    Originally, Chu State in the south had a large territory and could barely compete with Qi State. However, since Chu State bought deer, Chu State has withered. It does not dare to look north to Qi State, so it can only restrain its ambitions and continue to advance southward.

    Qi State¡¯s behavior of poaching the swordsmith is really annoying, but other countries can only strongly condemn it.

    As for the other countries saying that the blood of the people of Qi is impure, Qi is too lazy to fight back. Who among the countries has pure blood?  Even the Zhou Kingdom didn't merge with Xirong in the west?  There are no countries in the four directions that are not integrated.

    "The founding king of Qi State, Taigong, adopted the national policy of 'maintaining the customs and simplifying the etiquette'. He stabilized the east after being enfeoffed for half a year, and even Zhou Gongdan praised him highly. Moreover, our Qi State has indeed surpassed the Lu State and become the country as Zhou Gongdan predicted.  A big country in the East, how can they talk nonsense?" Xiaobai was a little angry, but he said that this blame was not his, but started from Jiang Taigong.

    "In the past three hundred years, the Nine Barbarians have been submissive and rebellious. Our Qi State has not forgotten the national policy of the Grand Duke, and we cannot allow them to take advantage of it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this sword fighting competition, we must recruit swordsmiths from all over the world, so that we can strengthen our military.  We will definitely be able to solve the Jiuyi rebellion in one fell swoop, so that they will never dare to disobey Qi again." Bao Shuya said.

    Xiaobai liked hearing this, he nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the sword fighting conference could have such benefits. Tell me my will, I want to build a sword-making hall, and let all the sword-making masters in the world see the glory of our Qi country."  Sincerity.¡±

    Guan Zhong said: "We must protect the safety of the swordsmith to prevent people with evil intentions from doing harm to the swordsmith."

    Xiaobai immediately agreed: "Yes, there must be more protection outside the sword-making hall, and the sword-making master must not be in danger. There will definitely be jealous people who will not see our Qi State recruiting talented people. If they cannot defeat Qi State, they will definitely  You must be on guard against taking the wrong path. Father Zhong is the one who has thought carefully."

    Bao Shuya immediately took the order and went to do it.
