One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 227
Qin Yi's remark that "the general trend of the world, long-term unity must be divided, and long-term division must be united", shocked the mysterious applicant for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, the man regained his composure, cupped his hands to Qin Yi and said, "Magistrate Qin has a unique vision, so I can't match it."

Qin Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a chat, it can't be taken seriously. Whether the situation will be as Qin deduced is still unknown."

The man continued: "Just now the county magistrate of Qin said that chaos is coming, and the princes have different ideas. Some want to defend their own territory, while others want to expand their power and covet the world. I dare to ask, which kind of county magistrate Qin belongs to? "

This question is very sensitive, no matter which answer you choose, it seems that you are suspected of being a traitor.Qin Yi thought for a while, and asked without answering: "Since Mr. came to apply for the recruitment, he must have known about Qin's actions beforehand. I wonder what kind of Qin he is?"

The man smiled slightly: "The county magistrate of Qin won the land of the three counties in just two months, so he must not be a successful person. I think that the prefect of Shangdang County will surely fall to Qin's position in a short time. The county magistrate is in the pocket."

"Haha, sir, you are right. That's right, Qin is determined to win the position of prefect of Shangdang County." Qin Yi said firmly.

The man added: "What I want to know is that if the Qin County Magistrate becomes the prefect of Shangdang County, he will also be among the princes in the world. I don't know if the Qin County Magistrate wants to be loyal to the imperial court, or whether he wants to compete with the princes. Fight for the world?"

Treason!This question is blatantly rebellious.

Qin Yi didn't plan to tell the truth before finding out the real intention of this person.Besides, he has no long-term goals at this time.After becoming the prefect of Shangdang County, what to do next depends on the tasks issued by the system.

Qin Yi thought for a while, then sighed suddenly: "Qin has never had the idea of ​​competing for the world. Qin's entry into an official position is also due to the current situation. After coming to Bingzhou, Qin wanted to guard Lu County well, but who knows, I If you don't deceive others, people will deceive me, and the reason why Qin won the land of the three counties is purely due to counterattack."

The man straightened his ears and listened carefully to Qin Yi's words.

"Since Mr. Qin asked this question, Qin will tell the truth. In the future, how Qin will act depends entirely on the current situation. If the world is really in chaos, everyone will be in danger, and Qin will have to let go Hands and feet, seek a broader way of life for yourself and the people under your rule."

The man fell silent.

Qin Yi stared at this person's face, trying to find out his emotional tendency from his expression, but unexpectedly, this person was like an old monk in meditation, with no expression fluctuations.

After a long while, the man suddenly reached into his arms, took out a note, and handed it to Qin Yi with both hands.

"This is……"

Qin Yi took the note and looked at it. It was the question about talents that he answered in the morning.The question answered this afternoon, Qin Yi wrote a note with the answer, which was thrown away in a ball of waste paper by this person, but this note was very flat, without any wrinkles.

From this, Qin Yi became more certain of his previous guess. The arrogance this person showed after meeting him was completely fake, and his intention was nothing more than to test Qin Yi's tolerance for others.

"Magistrate Qin, I admire the judgment on the use of talents." The man said, "I still have a question, please enlighten me by County Magistrate Qin."

"Sir, please speak."

"In the recruitment list posted by the county magistrate of Guanqin, it is stated that regardless of origin, native place, or age, anyone with a skill can apply. But in today's world, the imperial court selects scholars, first of all, and it is almost non-gentry. I don't know. The county magistrate of Qin thinks, who is in charge of ups and downs between the nobles and the common people?"

This question is more tricky.In this era, the social hierarchy is strict, the gentry is superior, and the common people are like grass, almost no one dares to question this social system, let alone criticize the gentry.It is inappropriate for this person to dare to raise such a question.

But Qin Yi can also see that this person's thinking is not rigid, and he dares to think and ask things that others dare not ask.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Yi finally answered: "Sir, the one who decides ups and downs is neither aristocrats nor common people, but the hearts of the people."

"Oh? Qin County Magistrate's answer is interesting, reconciliation?" the man asked curiously.

Qin Yi said: "It's very simple. If a person's mind is stable, the world will be peaceful. If a person's mind is chaotic, the world will be in chaos. It doesn't matter whether you are a nobleman or a commoner."

Seeing that this person didn't seem to understand what he meant, Qin Yi continued: "For example, Qin, all living beings in this world are divided into three, six, and nine classes. The higher you go, the fewer the number. Take a big man as an example. People are divided into three classes. The first class is the Son of Heaven, the top class with only one person; the second class is the gentry, who belong to the backbone;

"In this way, a tower shape is formed that is thin at the top and thick at the bottom. In order to make this tower stable, first of all, the foundation must be solid, that is to say, the civilian class must be stable. Secondly, the tower body must be strong, and That is to say, the gentry class can neither be too heavy nor too light. If it is too heavy, it will oppress the foundation, and the foundation must be spanned. If it is too light, it will easily disperse and cause the tower to collapse. And the emperor, who is the top of the tower, must be placed at the central axis. , if it deviates from the central axis, it will fall.

"For these three classes, only when the interests of the three classes are always balanced and in line with their own positions can the tower body be stable. Otherwise, when one party's interests are too heavy, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction of the other two classes, and the hearts of the people will be unstable. must fall."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi sighed: "If the tower falls down, there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest. At that time, no matter what class it is, it will be greatly damaged."

Hearing Qin Yi's words, the man nodded and said, "The remarks made by County Magistrate Qin are very novel. So what does County Magistrate Qin think is the most important part of this tower?"

Qin Yi said without hesitation: "Nature is the foundation. That is, the broadest public class. The public class is at the bottom and has the largest number of people. The benefits they get are shared among everyone, and they are the easiest to satisfy. But If the gentry as the backbone and the emperor as the top of the tower deprive the interests of the common people too much and expand themselves, then the foundation of the tower will be crushed. Once the foundation is broken, the tower and the top of the tower will still be stable ?"

"In that case, the gentry class seems to be dispensable." The man was thoughtful.

Qin Yi waved his hand and said: "No, Qin just said that the gentry class is the backbone of the society, and the people are the backbone of the society. They are equally important. The so-called gentry class is the elite class. Governing the country depends on the elite, the emperor Governmental decrees are formulated by the elites and implemented by the elites. The quality of the decrees is reflected by the feelings of the people. Therefore, the elites are an important class that maintains the relationship between the emperor and the people.”

The man was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Then the county magistrate of Qin pays more attention to people from the noble family, or people from commoner background?"

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "This answer has already been explained in Qin's recruitment order. Qin does not ask people's background, but only their character and talent."

After listening to Qin Yi's words, the man suddenly got up, and bowed his hands solemnly to Qin Yi: "The play is loyal but not talented, and I would like to apply to the Qin county magistrate's family to be a staff member."
