Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 230 How awesome is Qin Shihuang?
This ability to know and employ people is also something that a qualified boss must learn to do.

Otherwise, no matter how big the family business is, no matter how solid the foundation is, the family fortune established by the previous generations will be wiped out.

Isn't Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, a typical representative of them?
A boss who doesn't know people and doesn't know how to employ people is useless sitting in that position.

As a leader, the immediate boss of everyone, the First Emperor also had one of the greatest advantages.

That is not to kill heroes.

Historically, after the boss successfully came to power, the massacre of heroes has happened in almost all dynasties.

The most typical representatives are Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty.

As for Zhao Da, who was in power by bullying orphans and widows, although he didn't kill him directly, he also released his military power with a glass of wine, which can be said to be a chicken thief.

The founding emperor massacred heroes, most likely because he was worried that his descendants would not be able to suppress these founding achievements, or it might be out of doubts.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he never killed a single hero.

When veteran Wang Jian led 60 soldiers and horses to attack Chu, Ying Zheng was not without worries.

If Wang Jian directly brought an army of 60 people to yo-yo, then Ying Zheng would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.

And Wang Jian also understands Yingzheng's worries, and he also takes into account that there are too many people under his command. He is worried that Yingzheng will kill himself directly because of suspicion, so he asks Yingzheng for rewards if he has anything to do, such as land, money, whatever. Just ask and show your loyalty in this way.

He looks like an insatiable person. According to the thinking of normal people, he shouldn't have nothing to do and contribute to the country wholeheartedly.

In fact, this is Wang Jian's brilliance.

A money-greedy subordinate can reassure the boss more easily than a noble subordinate.

Leading the boss to know your preferences, so you can control it with confidence, and the latter, if you want nothing, will arouse the boss's scruples, thinking that this guy doesn't want anything, is he planning some big moves, such as He said he was watching his position.

Suspiciousness is a common problem of emperors of all dynasties. No matter who they are, when they see someone better than themselves, they will inevitably have a sense of inferiority and anxiety in their hearts, especially high-risk groups like emperors.

It is certainly a good thing that ministers are excellent, but it is not new that excellent ministers deposed incompetent emperors in history.

Can the emperor not be afraid?

Of course, Qin Shihuang's personal ability is indeed outstanding, otherwise he would not have handed over all 60 troops to Wang Jian.

This kind of courage and choice, few emperors in the past dynasties dared to do this.

60 is really not a small amount. If it is all spread out on the map, it will be a huge black area.

Qin Shihuang has his own uniqueness in talent management, which is also an important reason why he was able to unify the six countries.

As a boss, it is not enough just to know how to employ people, but also to have a high degree of self-discipline and self-awareness.

Will Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty employ people?

Undoubtedly, Emperor Jiajing was the most intelligent emperor among all emperors.

Through the employment of people, constantly balance the forces of all parties, so as to achieve their own demands, play tricks, skills are good, referred to as senior operators.

However, this guy is neither conscious nor self-disciplined.

He enjoys himself all day long and makes alchemy all day long, just to seek immortality. Although the means of employing people are superb, but in his hands, Daming is still in decline, and it is difficult to maintain the last bit of decency.

Therefore, an excellent boss needs to do something himself.

Being a shopkeeper all day long, the smart ones can rely on the people under them to maintain the operation of the company, but the whole company has lost its way forward, like a headless chicken, and can only circle around in place.

It is basically impossible to make progress, and it is lucky not to regress.

And Qin Shihuang not only knows how to employ people, but he himself is a diligent political affairs, self-disciplined and self-conscious workaholic.

Although he has a bunch of talented, educated and thoughtful subordinates under his command, Emperor Shihuang did not think about enjoying life, playing golf in hot springs or anything, but continued to devote himself to Into the most extensive construction of the Great Qin Empire.

Sima Qian has such a record in "Historical Records-The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang": "Everything in the world, no matter how big or small, is determined by the above. From the top to the measurement of books by weighing stones, there are results day and night, and there is no rest if you don't get the results."

One stone is changed today, it should be about 120 catties.

In other words, Qin Shihuang asked himself to read 120 catties of memorials a day, and did not rest after reading it. He was regarded as the number one workaholic of the Great Qin Empire and an absolute model worker.

This kind of work attitude can be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty in all dynasties.

Maybe it's some kind of coincidence, these two have the grace of rebuilding Huaxia.

Qin Shihuang unified the world, firmly inserted the concept of great unification into the hearts of the people, ended hundreds of years of division and separatism, and opened a new chapter in Chinese history.

However, Emperor Hongwu overthrew the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, ended more than 100 years of alien rule, and completely ended the hundreds of years of division after the Tang Dynasty was destroyed. China once again ushered in the situation of great unification. It has eternal merit.

It is precisely because of this that the eternal unity of these two people is firmly established.

Some people may say, isn't there a Song Dynasty in the middle?

In fact, in the case of the Song Dynasty, the national strength was weak, and the separatist regime was not able to end from the beginning to the end. In the middle, he was beaten by foreigners several times and knelt down to beg for mercy, and even made frequent tricks. , in an era like the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties, it was at the level of a local government.

As for Dai Qing, who was forcibly blown up by later generations... There is nothing to say. Those who can blow up this dynasty are all people who have been kneeling for a long time, and their knees are soft.

Speaking of the first emperor, as an emperor who created an unprecedented unified situation throughout the ages, did Qin Shihuang really not understand enjoyment and vanity?
Could it be that Ying Zheng is just a workaholic?
In fact, Ying Zheng also understands enjoyment and vanity.

It's just that, unlike ordinary emperors' superficial cognition, Qin Shihuang's enjoyment and vanity are not only in women and material things.

Ordinary emperors would only entertain a bunch of women, hold a naked meeting, come to a wine pool and meat forest, or set up a few palaces for fun. This kind of simple and vulgar enjoyment, Qin Shihuang didn't think much of it.

Can't say no, but the focus is not on these things.

What Qin Shihuang pursued was not just these material things, or just satisfied with physical pleasure.

He wants obviously more.

First of all, it is the issue of one's own name after unification.

What is the king of Qin called again?
That's really too low, they are all unified, so naturally they have to be different from their predecessors.

And the word king, how can it show a unified supply?

Like the old club, called the emperor?
In the future, it is Qin Tianzi?
The first emperor said that this is not enough, how can he call himself the emperor after his great achievements in unifying the world, who else in this world is stronger than himself?
sky?That's not OK!

After thinking so hard, Ying Zheng finally came up with a domineering and noble name for himself.

emperor!

As the saying goes, the Three Emperors of Virtuous Virtue, the meritorious deeds of the Five Emperors, Qin Shihuang directly combined the great sages and sages such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in history, and creatively gave himself such a name.

Moreover, as the first boss of the Great Qin Empire and the first master of the world, Qin Shihuang added a word in front of the emperor—Shi.

That is the first, the meaning of the beginning.

Therefore, the title of Emperor Shihuang was born directly, and this grade went up in an instant.

After getting his own name, Qin Shihuang began to think about clothing again.

This time, Qin Shihuang boldly used black as the color of respect.

The world respects black, and wearing a black robe with a golden dragon is unique in all dynasties.

After all, other emperors like yellow.

Moreover, as the emperor, Qin Shihuang also made the self-proclaimed "zhen" his own private use.

From now on, only the emperor can call himself "Zhen".

Before that, "zhen" was just a more formal self-proclaimed name, which was not much different from "wu".

Like Qu Yuan when he was in Lisao, he often called himself "Zhen"

It's not uncommon to say "the emperor's examination is called Boyong".

But after the first emperor, the title "zhen" has a new attribute, that is, it is exclusive to the emperor, and other people are not allowed to use it.

Such a concept, even now, is deeply rooted.

If it were played like this in a TV series:

"A group of dog slaves dare to disobey me!"

"The Emperor Mingjian, I dare not, I dare not!"

Is this obviously out of flavor?
Such changes have greatly changed the old concepts in people's minds.

Ying Zheng also adopted a series of measures to let everyone understand that this era has changed.

In the past, the Seven Kingdoms and the old system of kingship are gone.

Now in the world, the emperor is the most important and noble person.

Of course, Qin Shihuang would not have become a great figure if he had just given some noble titles and adopted some unique rules.

His dream is very big, so big that the world is horrified, so big that the world is afraid.

What he wants to do is not just pure innovation. Innovation is still a matter of weeding out the old and bringing forth the new. The foundation may not change. What Qin Shihuang wants to do is to subvert further than innovation.

That's right, he just wants to subvert the world!
The first to bear the brunt is the local system.

In the past, the enfeoffment system was implemented locally. Through enfeoffment, heirs and meritorious ministers were sent to various places, and then a pattern of stars holding the moon was formed.

This system has been implemented for hundreds of years. It has a solid foundation and stable routines. It is the first choice of many Qin ministers.

But Qin Shihuang didn't think so.

From the perspective of people in the future, the prefecture and county system may not be a big deal.

In general, centralized countries will adopt a system in which the central government controls the localities. Nowadays, it is natural and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people to use the central government to unify the localities.

But at the time, people didn't think so.

Maybe I don't understand.

After all, the ready-made system is there. The enfeoffment system in the Zhou Dynasty lasted 800 years and is already a mature system.

Just put a few sons in the same place, and then everyone will take care of their own affairs, and there will be peace.

Even though a hundred or so years have passed, everyone no longer knows each other.

Clan bloodlines, over a long period of time, will bring about a strong bond that will fall apart. Each vassal state has its own human, material, financial and military power, and it is only a matter of time before the family fights because of interests.

The enfeoffment system in the Zhou Dynasty was well thought out, but in the end, everyone attacked each other, and people's brains were beaten into dog's brains, and they fought for more than 500 years.

After 800 years of conquering the world and fighting for 500 years, it is really not a successful system.

Therefore, although the enfeoffment system is inevitable for the development of civilization to a certain extent, the system of prefectures and counties is also an important manifestation of the progress of the times.

At that time, many schools of thought were quite in favor of enfeoffment.

For example, Confucianism.

The idea of ​​Confucius, the patriarch of Kaipai, is to restore Zhou rituals, that is, to return to the era of enfeoffment.

If the saints are like this, disciples and grandchildren will also have such thoughts.

Moreover, there were many Confucian disciples in the court at that time, and they were a force that could not be ignored.

If it were an ordinary emperor, he might have directly chosen the enfeoffment system.

But Qin Shihuang did not do this. What he wanted was not inheritance, but innovation and subversion!
If it is said that the first emperor unified the world, there were some accidental factors, such as the failure of the game of the six kingdoms, external factors such as the success of the Qin Dynasty, then the implementation of the system of prefectures and counties will continue to be unified and become a unified system. kind of necessity.

The system of prefectures and counties put all the land in the world under the management of the central government. Since then, there has been no distinction between countries. There is only one country in the world, and that is Daqin!
The enfeoffment system established by the Zhou Dynasty led to the people everywhere having different monarchs, so that completely different customs and habits, completely different currency systems, and differences between countries and people were formed. Large text content.

The system of prefectures and counties implemented by the first emperor directly changed this point. From now on, all the people in the world only need to believe in one country, that is the Great Qin, and only need to know the name of one person, that is the emperor.

The impact of this powerful centralized system is extremely far-reaching.

In later dynasties, no matter how time changes, no matter who is in that position, all systems are modified within the framework established by Qin Shihuang. This land is still China.

This is the strength of Qin Shihuang.

His greatness lies not in his great achievements in unifying the world, but in bringing the concept of unity to everyone in this land.

Since then, China has become a great nation with strong cohesion and centripetal force.

If you want to compare, it is natural to pull out Western contemporaries for a wave of horizontal comparisons!
