Chapter 460 Selection System 2
【Xie An Study Room】

Cao Rui said: "Our country of Jin is located in a rich and prosperous place, and there are a lot of talents. Now the prime minister of the state of Qin is from our country of Jin, but because he has not been reused here, he turned against us and became a sharp weapon for the enemy to deal with us. We cannot let this It happened."

Xie An said: "But people like Wang Meng are a minority after all. Most of the talents in the state of Jin are still among the rich and powerful families. I'm afraid Jin will never find another one."

Cao Rui said: "It cannot be because there are few talents in the poor family that it will not block the path of the poor students from entering the official career. This will only make the children of the gentry more confident, have no sense of competition, and even less enterprising."

Xie An said: "Take me and the Xie family as an example. I am the son of the gentry who does not think about making progress. When I was young, I once refused to be an official in the court, so I could talk easily, but I was really ignorant and incompetent. Is it? In my opinion, many wealthy children are like me, they are not without talent, but they just don’t put their minds on the court.”

Cao Rui said: "There are very few children of the family like you, and most of the children are mediocre."

Xie An said: "No, I don't think that's the case. On the contrary, most of the nobles represent the hope of this country. There may be a small number of poor students who can match or even surpass them, but they are rare."

Cao Rui said: "All the gentry children in the Jin state like to talk about it. Talking about it is nothing more than talking about others behind their backs. It's called gossip.

"It's funny to use nasty words, to comment on other people's appearance, life experience, character, and talent. I don't know what it means."

At this time, a child of the Xie family suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Cao, let me interject, I remember they commented on your words like 'floating like a cloud, but astonishing as a dragon', 'a rock stands like a solitary pine. , Lang Lang is like the sun and the moon in his arms'."

Hearing this, Cao Rui didn't feel the slightest pride, on the contrary, he was a little displeased, because he used to live in a corner, looking for a job, doing nothing all day long, and the only things that could be brought out and talked about were his appearance and family background.

At this time, another Xie family member couldn't help but said: "Brother Xie's words are wrong. I also often talk with other family members, and we discuss current affairs more often."

Cao Rui said: "Since we have discussed it, why don't you write down your opinions and try your best to submit them, so that your good opinions can be turned into reality, and can make a little contribution to the country's society?"

Speaking of this, Xie An asked the boy: "I heard that you also invented some interesting classifications, classifying officials in the court as pure and turbid. You listed me as an upright official and Huan Wen as a turbid official. Is there such a thing? "

The young man replied: "That's right, my uncle is pure and noble. Although he is an official in the court, he is an upright official if he holds a high position but is not disturbed by worldly affairs. Huan Wen deals with worldly affairs all day long, and struggles for power and profit." , for the dirty officials."

Cao Rui said, "But I heard that your classification is very simple. Anyone who comes from a famous family is an upright official, and most people who come from a poor family are dirty officials."

The young man said: "The fact is that this is the case. Officials from famous families have accumulated wealth like a mountain, and they are not disturbed by the world, so they can focus on things other than life."

"As for those children from poor families, their goal is always to get promoted and get rich, to get to a high position, so as to prosper their own family, so they are vulgar and they are dirty officials."

Cao Rui said: "In my opinion, a clean official is one who has nothing to do and talks all day long, while a dirty official is a down-to-earth one who works hard."
