I’m The King Chapter 321: : Picking up the leak
"Sir, why are you so optimistic about me?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"I was just curious, so I ran to Fufeng, but this time, it let me know that I finally found a master worthy of all my dedication!" Jiang Jiaquan looked very solemn.
Looking at Jiang Jiaquan's appearance, Ding Weichi laughed, "General, don't be fooled by this liar, if he is really talented, how could Jiang Xinliang be caught by us, and this time we will go to Yuyang again, Let that guy Jiang, who is the sheriff, eat farts again and again, I think this old man was fired by his old boss, and he came to our place to make a living!"
Listening to Ding Wei's sarcasm, Jiang Jiaquan's expression was not moved at all, "The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the master. I am fifty-eight years old this year. I was originally in the Jiang family. Let me tell you the truth about this brother, although Jiang is not talented, he has accumulated a lot of property over the years. It is not a problem to be a rich man to support his life. But..." He turned his head and looked at Gao Yuan, "There are always good ministers, but rare masters. When I arrived in Fufeng, I listened, looked twice, thought twice, and my heart, which was already calm, had some expectations, so I wanted to gamble."
Gao Yuan laughed, "The old man really thinks highly of me, but since the old man has the talents of all over the world, why can't you show your talents in the seven countries of the world?"
Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "The philosophy of governing the country of the six countries in the Central Plains is incompatible with me, so here, I can only make a living."
Gao Yuan keenly heard what the other party said about the six countries of the Central Plains, "What about Qin, why don't the old man go to Qin!"
"Qin already has Li Ru!" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head.
Gao Yuan felt strange: "As far as I know, Mr. Li Ru has traveled all over the world and has never been an official in the court. What is the relationship between Qin and Mr. Li Ru?"
Jiang Jiaquan chuckled, "It is true that Li Ru has never been an official in the court, but the contemporary king of Qin, King Qin Wulie, is Li Ru's most proud disciple. And the ruling officials of the Qin Dynasty, almost all important positions are Controlled by Li Ru's disciples. Although Li Ru was not an official, he created a powerful Qin State."
Gao Yuan was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of this.
"Li Ru traveled the world and accepted elites as his disciples. General Gao may not know that most of the current positions in the Qin court are not held by Qin people, but come from all over the world. Although these people come from different backgrounds and origins, but They all have one thing in common, that is, they are all disciples of Li Ru, who are from the same school as King Wulie of Qin, uphold the same philosophy, and believe in the same school of learning." Jiang Jiaquan couldn't hide the envious look on his face, "Decades ago, Li Ru and I parted ways because of our differences in ideas. Decades have passed, and I have spent time with him, but he has become famous all over the world, and he has created a powerful country. Surrender, perhaps, I still have hope to compete with him one last time."
"Do you know Li Ru?" Gao Yuan asked.
"More than just recognition?" Jiang Jiaquan raised his head. Looking at the scorching sun that was slowly rising in the sky, "He and I were originally from the same school."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yuan's eyes widened. Li Ru's name spread throughout the world, and Lu Hong's son, Lu Chao, was Li Ru's closed disciple, but he never imagined that the Jiang Jiaquan, who had met once before and was extremely embarrassed in front of him, would be Li Ru's. same door. The somewhat embarrassed old man in front of him suddenly became more important in Gao Yuan's heart.
"Sir, let's go into the room to talk!" Gao Yuan sent out an invitation.
Jiang Jiaquan walked into Gao Yuan's freshly cleaned courtyard, looked around, and said, "This is General Gao's former residence?"
"Yes!" Gao Yuan nodded and smiled, "I used to live here. Why did the old man come here so early and was caught by them?"
Jiang Jiaquan was full of anger immediately, "I know I have offended the general before, so when I arrived in Fufeng, I didn't dare to come and ask for an interview. If it fell into the hands of the soldiers under the general's command, maybe I haven't seen the general yet. I was cleaned up by them. Thinking that this is the former residence of the general, and I have a deep relationship with that girl, the general will definitely come back to have a look, so I rented a house near the left, and I will come here every day to wait, I thought I could meet the general."
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I didn't expect it to fall into their hands!"
Jiang Jiaquan shook his head again and again, "I think it's because I offended the general, so God will punish me for this!" He stroked his wrist, and there was still a dull pain there.
"Sir, sit down!" Pointing to the stone table and bench in the corner of the yard, Gao Yuan said.
The two sat opposite each other, and Gao Yuan thought for a moment: "Why did you disagree with Mr. Li Ru in the first place?"
"When I learned from him and became a teacher, he wanted to travel around the world, choose talents to teach, but I thought that I should choose a master and serve him, and carry forward my theory. No one can convince anyone, so we separated. He went his own way, but I never thought that decades later, he would be famous all over the world, but I would achieve nothing. Naturally, I lost this competition." Jiang Jiaquan's face was full of bitterness.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Sir, with such a world-renowned senior brother, isn't it easy to make a big difference?"
Jiang Jiaquan suddenly changed his face, "I have already lost, how can I use his name again?"
Gao Yuan looked at the other person, this is a person with strong self-esteem, he and Master Li Rushi are from the same school, so the learning is naturally the same, thinking about the current political philosophy implemented by the Qin State, he already has a little foundation in his heart, unexpectedly I accidentally picked up a treasure. If Li Ru's theory can strengthen a country, then this person's talent and learning will naturally not be bad. Such a character, because he was disheartened, gave up on himself, and became a counselor waiting to die in obscurity. He didn't expect that he could make him ignite his ambition again, and he felt a little proud when he thought about it.
Each era must have its own suitable political ideas. Although Gao Yuan came from a highly civilized era, he never thought that the political ideas pursued by that era could adapt to the world he lives in now. Civilization is a step It has been developed step by step, if now I focus on doing what I did in my previous life, let alone it won't work, I'm afraid that after a few strokes, all my subordinates will run away, and I won't even be able to save my life.
"Can I ask Mr. about his theory?" Gao Yuan smiled.
Jiang Jiaquan was refreshed, he must be tested. He took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart. He began to sort out his thoughts. From his understanding, although Gao Yuan was born in a good family, he hadn't read many books. He also seemed uneducated, which made Gao Yuan look down on himself, the general. Although I haven't read many books, my knowledge is not bad.
Ding Wei, who was standing outside the door, saw that the old man of the Jiang family had a happy conversation with the general. The conversation didn't last long, and only the old man said that the general only had to listen. Moreover, he nodded frequently during the listening process, and couldn't help feeling anxious, General, don't let this old liar fool you. Reach out for a guard. "Go to the general's mansion and see if Cao Sima is there. Please Cao Sima! By the way, you. Go and invite Wu County Magistrate. This old liar is a scholar, and Wu County Magistrate is also a scholar. Let him expose this old liar's deeds." !”
The two guards left in a hurry. Ding Wei poked his head out from the door again, and said with a smug smile: "You old liar, wait a minute. I'll let you look good."
In the courtyard, Gao Yuan has already confirmed that both Jiang Jiaquan and Li Ru are heirs of the Legalist school. The master of the school is Han Feizi, but he has never heard of this person's name in this era.
"Sir, do you think that governing the country should be based on the law, rule the country by law, use skills to control ministers, and use power to bully others, and combine the three to make it an inseparable whole?" Gao Yuan asked Jiang Jiaquan just now. Dabian's eloquent exposition made a programmatic summary.
Listening to Gao Yuan's summary, Jiang Jiaquan let out an ah, looked at Gao Yuan, but was a little dazed, but in a flash, he was ecstatic, "General Gao, I have been studying for decades to get this Out of these three guidelines, you, you can blurt out?"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan felt a little embarrassed, he just took the achievements of others, he shook his head again and again, "No, no, in fact, Mr. has already said it in the discussion just now. It's clear."
"Does the general think it's feasible?" Jiang Jiaquan looked at Gao Yuan nervously. Before, he was afraid that Gao Yuan would not understand, but now he was afraid that Gao Yuan would reject him because he understood too much. For decades, his theory, But they hit a lot of walls, and those big nobles were not willing to give up their privileges at all.
Gao Yuan didn't answer him directly, but asked him another question, "Then Mr. also thinks that if you want to implement the theory of your school, you must strengthen the country and weaken the people? Put the people in poverty and then use rewards and punishments The means to enable the people to obey orders, overcome their own difficulties, and go to farming and war?”
Jiang Jiaquan stared blankly at Gao Yuan, "General Gao, have you studied the theories of our school? How do you know this?"
Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry about how I know, I just want to ask, what do you think of this issue?"
Jiang Jiaquan was silent for a moment, "You know this from Li Ru? Have you met Li Ru?"
"I haven't met Li Ru~IndoMTL.com~ but I have an elder brother who studied under Li Ru." Gao Yuan didn't answer this question directly.
Jiang Jiaquan nodded and said, "That's right. That's right. Our school of thought really thinks so, but now I have a different view. What Li Ru is promoting in Qin State is exactly the same. .”
"What do you think differently, sir?"
"Sufficient clothes know honor and disgrace!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "If you want to truly build a powerful country, you must not only enrich the country, but also strengthen the people. You cannot oppose a strong country with a rich people. In the past twenty years, I have given up on fighting with Li Ru's competition turned to study the problems existing in the school's theory, and found out the fatal problems in the school's theory, and these problems have already begun to be manifested in Qin. The rich country and the weak people, so It cannot last long. Li Ru’s current approach, the country is rich and the soldiers are strong, but the people have not benefited from it. It may make a country strong in a short period of time, but over time, it will inevitably appear. problem."
"Then what do you think is the right way to do it now?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Rule the country by law and put people first!" Jiang Jiaquan spat out eight words. (To be continued..)
