No matter which country you come from, no matter what your background is, as long as you are talented and can make suggestions, it doesn't matter if you dress like a "sharp brother" on the roadside. Come to my bowl!
In our state of Qin, we don't go through the back door. With your talent, we will play by the rules! I won't engage in infighting, and I'm not afraid that I can't display my talents. Now I open my door and welcome people with lofty ideals from all walks of life to join us.
If all countries had jointly issued a daily newspaper at that time, the story of recruiting talents in Qin Mugong would have made headlines: "If you want to get rich, go west and come to my bowl!"
It is estimated that many hot-blooded women will be moved.
However, why doesn't Qin Mugong use its own talents?
In fact, the reason is not difficult to guess. Reusing the nobles of one's own country can easily lead to the growth of aristocratic forces. As monarchs, they will lead them by the nose.
Therefore, I would rather reuse foreign guests. No matter how powerful the outsiders are, they are only limited to one person. It is impossible for them to establish their own power and threaten their status independently like giants.
In order to attract foreign talents, Qin Mugong took pains to send people to ask around. If there had been internet, telephones and leaflets, it is estimated that job advertisements in Qin Mugong were all over the street.
In 655 BC, it was a godsend.
The State of Yu was destroyed by the State of Jin, and the doctor Prissy almost became a slave to the State of Qin. Unwilling to be humiliated, he fled halfway, tossing and turning, and was actually caught by the king of Chu to herd cattle.
Prissy was a child prodigy at that time, and this Chu Wang Cheng was too blind. This is a waste of time!
Qin Mugong was sad and worried, so he had to get Prissy anyway.
Originally, he wanted to go directly to the state of Chu to redeem people with heavy gold jewelry, but his son reminded him: "Dad, it's too high-profile for you to let people bring so many gold and silver jewelry to redeem people!" Isn't it valuable to tell Prissy, the king of Chu?
If King ChuCheng knew that Priscilla was useful, he would certainly be reluctant to let him go. How's this? Let's exchange the price of a slave for him, and say that he is his wife's slave and ran away on the road, which made her lose face. Now, in order to calm this lady's anger, we will redeem her with five sheepskins. In short, we have to say that we are wronged and forced. In this way, the king of Chu will certainly understand and will not doubt us. "
As soon as Qin Mugong heard the truth, he did it, pretending to be very low-key, and bought Prissy back with five sheepskins. This is a big deal. It is estimated that when King Chu Cheng knew Priscilla's talent, his intestines were all regretful.
