In the hall, several waiters held up the new system. Ying Zheng said to his officials: "My lords, this is the latest examination and selection system formulated by the Imperial Master. From now on, the selection and appointment of officials in our Great Qin will be based on the same rules.
You need to pass the exam. What do you think?"
Several important ministers were the first to pick up the signed book and read it, while everyone standing behind them started talking about it.
"Examination system? Never heard of it..."
"Is it the same as training eunuchs in the palace?"
"Official selection exam? This can't be implemented..."
Xiong Qi, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Li Si and others all had their brows furrowed and looked attentively. No one spoke for a while.
Finally, Wang Wan returned the book to the waiter and generously came out to express his support, "Your Majesty, I think that the idea of the Imperial Master is of great benefit to our country in the contemporary era and will bring great benefits to the future. Such an examination selection system will be changed.
The dilemma of talent flow and promotion from ancient times to the present. Centralizing the power of selecting officials to the central government is a great feat for the country. Moreover, having the standards negotiated by the state can also ensure the overall quality of officials, which is also a great benefit to the people under the rule.
"
Xiong Qi chewed carefully and then asked: "The examination and selection system is certainly good, but among the common people in Guizhou, it is rare to have one or two who are worthy of education. Isn't it a thankless task for the country?"
Li Si jumped in instantly, "That's wrong. There may be few civilian leaders in Guizhou who are sensitive and intelligent, but they are also the civilian leaders with the largest number of people in the world. If you pick one from a hundred, one from a thousand, or even one from a thousand, you can still get a lot of talents.
"
Xiong Qi retorted: "Everyone in Guizhou has gone to study, who will grow food?"
When this topic comes up, many people can't stand anymore and speak out to object.
"Yes, it's the same as when the Shang Dynasty restricted commerce. It's easy to make money by doing business, so why don't all the people in Guizhou go into business and no one will farm anymore! Now if you can become an official by studying, who will farm?"
"That's right, you can't open this hole~"
Of the two prime ministers of the Qin State, their appearance was biased towards tact, while Wang Wan was honest and conservative in character and mostly presided over government affairs. He smiled at the noisy officials and said: "Although you all know that our country in Qin now has abundant land and sufficient grain production, but among them
Let me tell you more specifically.
Two years ago, the experimental field improvement plan was initially completed. As a result of the promotion in one year, the yield per mu of Daqin reached an astonishing twelve cauldrons; last year the Zhengguo Canal was completed, and this year the yield per mu of the Guanzhong Plain also reached ten cauldrons. The original Guanzhong land per mu
The production is only less than two cauldrons, but it has increased five times. Combining the two, our country in Qin has no worries about food and grass.
A normal family only needs to work hard for two years, and in the third year they will be able to have the capital to register with the government and purchase farm tools, freeing their hands from the fields. Nowadays, everyone in the Qin Dynasty praises the virtues of the king.
As soon as this examination and selection system comes out, there will definitely be a wave of enthusiasm for learning. Qin people will study for the Qin State. This is another solid foundation for the Qin Empire!"
How many of these people standing in the temple really know how each family survives?
When Wang Wan said this, everyone was surprised.
"What? Has it actually come to this?"
"Is Guizhou already self-sufficient?"
"It's incredible..."
Li Si looked at Lu Yan standing at the head of the officials and thought in admiration:
Junior brother, you are indeed more skilled. The people are already self-sufficient in life, so you give them the hope of studying and becoming an official. This policy has the basis of people's hearts and is inevitable.
However, how can you shoulder the important task of education on your own?
Also, how do you snatch knowledge from the nobles?
Lu Yan felt something in his heart and looked at Li Si with a friendly smile. Then he took a big step and said to Ying Zheng and Baiguan: "Your Majesty, my lords, although most of the heads of Guizhou in Qin are now able to support their families, I want to
It is still very difficult for them to afford to study. For this reason, Yan specially invented something."
He pointed to the books in the hands of the waiters and said: "My lords, please compare these books."
An impulse suddenly surged in Li Si's heart. He rushed over quickly, picked up a book in each hand, and dropped half of the book with a clatter.
The two books are exactly the same, and the strokes and corners of every word are carved out in the same mold. This is definitely not a human-made manuscript.
"Sure enough, sure enough, there are really people in the world who are destined to do so! Hahaha, hahaha, all the scholars in the world are blessed! Your Majesty, the destiny is in Qin, the destiny is in Qin!"
Li Si went crazy. He had never experienced the hardships and pains of a poor family who had been wandering for ten years to study. He could not understand the overwhelming joy at this moment. He held the book high and knelt down in the main hall majestically, looking up to the sky and crying and laughing.
All officials were shocked and inexplicable.
Lu Yan sighed in his heart. What Li Si shed was the tears of the times.
Soon, everyone understood the meaning behind these books. With this technology, the spread of writing will take a historic step. The knowledge that was once monopolized by princes, nobles, and hundreds of schools of thought will be hard to say in the future.
Li Si wiped his tears and nose, rushed directly to the front of the palace, and said to Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, quickly establish the country's highest knowledge interpretation institution. From now on, only books certified by the state are eligible to be published in the world.
Circulation; books from other countries or from a certain school or sect must be inspected."
When Ying Zheng saw Li Si's reaction, he was very sure, "The ideas of Tingwei and the Imperial Preceptor coincided with each other. We have already made a plan, which is called the Central Academy. The first book printed by the Central Academy is "The Great Qin Dynasty"
law"."
"Your Majesty is wise, but you are too worried." Li Si finally returned to normal, got up and straightened his appearance.
At this time, Zhao Gao and his men came up to the hall with a thick pile of books. Lu Yan looked at Ying Zheng, nodded and announced to the officials, "With this printing technology, the good people of our great Qin Dynasty will no longer have access to books."
Due to the great difficulty, the Central Academy will be the first batch to publish "Da Qin Law", "Qin Officials Training Course", "Morality and Law" nationwide..."
Li Sigang was dusting his clothes calmly, and when he heard this, he immediately reflected, "Wait a minute, Master Imperial Master, what did you say? "Morality and Law"?"
"Yes, the new "Da Qin Code" is also based on the additions, deletions and modifications made by Sir Tingwei. It was not put into printing until it was approved by the King."
Hearing Lu Yan's answer, everyone in Li Si felt numb.
He ran directly to Zhao Gao, pulled out the "Laws of the Qin Dynasty", and after swiping through it a few times, he probably saw the pages that Lu Yan had modified.
"Master Imperial Master, Qin's laws are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. How can we be so lax? Being so indulgent to the common people and the head of Guizhou will sooner or later bring disaster to the country and the people."
Li Si hates iron and thinks that such a talented person like his junior brother can be so naive. You must know that human nature is evil! Without severe punishment and law to watch behind, what's the use of preaching!
He immediately knelt down to the King of Qin and said, "Your Majesty, please take back the king's order. This "Da Qin Code" and "Morality and Law" must not be distributed nationwide."
Lu Yan also couldn't make sense with Li Si. The other party was an iron-clad supporter of centralization. He wanted control over the people. When he saw printing, he immediately thought of holding the highest power of interpretation in the hands of the central government.
But why should it be so extreme? Rules cannot always rely on the oppression of the law. Creating a good social custom is also of great benefit to the country. Moreover, this is also a change that must be made in order to rule the six countries in the future.
Fortunately, after years of hard work, Ying Zheng is on his side.
After the end of the dynasty, Qin's new policies were promulgated and implemented, and the situation spread to all countries in the world, and the era was shocked.
