Chapter 144 Section 7 Lu Buwei in Li Si's eyes

The compilation of "Lushi Chunqiu" was completed, which made Li Si look at Lu Buwei with admiration.It turned out that although Lu Buwei was a businessman, he didn't always care about gains and losses in his heart.He really wanted to compile an unprecedented book.Regardless of the quality of the book, at least its starting point is lofty and sincere. In terms of cost and output alone, "Lushi Chunqiu" has invested tens of thousands of dollars, but the circulation will not exceed ten copies, and these ten copies cannot be put on the market, so they can only be given away for free. Calculated, it is a complete loss-making transaction.However, Lu Buwei still made the deal, and he did it willingly.Even a shrewd businessman like Lu Buwei understands that not all industries can be industrialized.In this world, there should be a more serious and nobler purpose than economic profit.Taking a step back, in business, Lu Buwei bought a reputation that lasts forever with a huge investment loss. Can there be a better business experience than this?

As an extraordinary politician, his sense of social responsibility and vision of time and space are by no means based on the measurement of money.In Li Si's view, Lu Buwei's so-called four major achievements are worthless.Only "Lu's Spring and Autumn" reflects Lu Buwei's personal characteristics. It is also different from or even higher than Qin's previous prime ministers with the benefit of a hundred generations.When a husband is an official, he often focuses on the current political achievements, using temporary tasks to advance the benefits of a hundred generations, treating headaches and foot pains, seeking more and faster, regardless of the rest.If there is no headache and foot pain, then create one first. In short, we must make some political achievements that everyone can see with the naked eye.

He once read "Chaozhou Hanwengong Temple Stele" written by Mr. Su Shi.Han Yu was relegated to stay in Chaozhou, and within a year of governing Chaozhou, he was transferred from his post.However, this short tenure of less than one year made Chaozhou people grateful to Han Yu. Where is the magic?What earth-shattering achievements has he made?In fact, it is very simple to say, "At the beginning of the Chaozhou people did not know how to learn, and the public appointed Jinshi Zhao De as their teacher. Since they are Chaozhou scholars, they are all devoted to writing and practice, extending to the people of Qi. As of now, they are known as Yizhi. Believe it Confucius said, "A gentleman who learns the way loves others, and a villain who learns the way is easy to use."

Reading "Lu Shi Chunqiu", Li Si couldn't help but miss Han Fei suddenly. He wondered how Han Fei's book was doing. Did he live well in Korea?Han Fei, you and I are in our prime, this world will belong to you and me.Lu Buwei is old, and "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" will be the last major event in his political career.In this world, there will never be a shortage of major events. Next, there will be a greater cause, a cause thousands of times greater than "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", which is to annihilate the six kingdoms and unify the world. But such a great cause, It will not be Lu Buwei's turn anymore, but it is destined to be completed in the hands of Ying Zheng and me.

A man cannot choose where he is born, nor can he choose the age in which he lives.Counting the 5,000-year long river, the history books and classics left behind are too many for future generations to read through in a lifetime.Nevertheless, on the land of China, there have been countless fresh lives and emotions in the past dynasties, the same grains, the same love between men and women, the same sorrow, joy, love and hatred, their stories, their experiences, but never They accounted for only a few words in the history books, and the historians never generously recorded even a random sum for them.How different people are, there is both the helplessness of "I would rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a man in a troubled world", and the fierceness of "I can't live forever, but I want to be infamous forever".For Li Si, the passing of a person leaves a name, and the passing of a geese leaves a sound. What he fears is living in an era that is doomed to be mediocre and unknown.Thank God, let him be born not too early, not too late, just in time for this once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity.

After showing off "Lu's Spring and Autumn" to the court officials, Lu Buwei came to show off to the world again.He spread "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" on the city gate of Xianyang, with a thousand gold coins hanging on it. No matter the princes, tourists, guests, anyone who can add or delete a word, will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins on the spot.It is hard to say whether Lu Buwei, who was frustrated in his official career, used this to express his inner anger and loss and suspected of provoking Lai Ai and the Queen Mother's party. At that time, Shang Yang reformed, in order to establish authority and win the trust of the people, he erected a three-foot tree at the south gate of the city, and claimed that those who could move the wood to the north gate would be rewarded ten gold.The common people don't believe in such a good thing, and no one dares to move.So the reward was increased to 50 gold, and finally a brave man moved the wood to the north gate.Shang Yang cashed in a reward of fifty gold on the spot to show that he was not deceiving.

Lu Buwei has always been generous, and the reward of a thousand gold is dozens of times more generous than that of Shang Yang.But the heavier the reward, the more no one dares to make a move.After a month, there was still no response, so Lu Buwei proudly took back "Lu Shi Chun Qiu".Fortunately, Dali was not born in that era. A lunatic like him, under the guise of art, set fire to "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and said that such changes would be the best. It is 20 million gold, and the GDP of the Qin State for many years may have to be fully invested.
