Fu Qin starts with a plan

Meng Changjun, a diner, sneaked into the Qin camp pretending to be a dog and stole the fox white fur to offer to Zhao Wang's concubine, in order to intercede with Meng Changjun.

King Zhao couldn't bear his concubine's intercession, and finally agreed to release Lord Mengchang.

But when they fled to Hangu Pass, King Zhao regretted it again, so he ordered to hunt them down.

Another diner pretended to be a chicken and crowed, causing all the chickens to crow, and then tricked the gate of the city, allowing Meng Changjun to escape back to Qi.

This shows that as long as a person has a specialty, it must be useful.

Some people are destined to be gifted and talented in certain aspects.

But this kind of talent is not beyond the understanding of ordinary people. As long as they explain their principles, ordinary people can understand a thing or two even though they are not as fast as they master them.

The so-called genius is a person who can sum up a set of effective methods in a similar field without the accumulation of experience.

Obviously, the person in front of him is an out-and-out genius in terms of language.

Looking at the test questions in front of him, if the test papers are graded normally, Fusu can guarantee that this person will not be on the list.

But Fusu had already decided in his heart that this scholar must be admitted after the examination.

Fusu believed that this scholar would be able to provide him with more help during his future trip to the Americas than those scholars who scored brilliantly in their examination papers.

This is the purpose of the invigilation, which is to avoid the loss of talents to the greatest extent.

In this tense atmosphere, two days passed by in a hurry.

On the second day of the vernal equinox, when the bell of the end of the imperial examination rang throughout Xianyang, the imperial capital, which had been silent for two whole days, finally became noisy again.

Tens of thousands of candidates poured out of the examination room one after another, some with happy faces, and naturally some with dejected looks.

There are too many factors affecting any examination, especially the imperial examination, which is a major examination that can determine the fate of a person's life.

Some people don't study hard at ordinary times, but when they take the imperial examination, the questions they encounter happen to be the content they are familiar with.

Compared with their usual real level, these people naturally performed supernormally.

There are also some people who usually study the classics hard, and their knowledge can be said to be quite solid.

But born with a bad mentality, it is normal to feel dizzy and feel weak when you go to the exam room. It is normal to fail the exam.

But these two situations, in the final analysis, are two extremes.

Most of the candidates are ordinary people after all, and they have played to their normal level.

Even if there are occasional mistakes, you can't blame your fate, you can only say that your overall quality is not up to standard.

No matter how good their studies are, if they can't even handle an exam, how can they expect them to be able to handle even greater pressure?
That night, the scholars who participated in the scientific examination learned without a teacher, called friends everywhere, and started a carnival all night.

But the bosses of the doctor's palace are not so relaxed.

For the first imperial examination in the history of the Land of China, all the bigwigs in the doctor's palace attach great importance to it.

Since they are big bosses, the relationship between their disciples and children in their respective schools is naturally intricate.

More than half of the scholars who participated in the imperial examination are their disciples and grandchildren.

Although the bosses usually don't care much about these disciples and grandchildren who can't be beat, the final admission rate of the science test is related to the appearance of their school after all.

Who can ignore it?

Although this is an imperial examination, it can also be said to be a vacant position. The positions obtained are one radish and one pit. The scope of the questions is required to meet the standards of professional counterparts as much as possible.

But one thing to say, the positions listed in many resolutions are often not so clear in direction.

For example, the number of officials in the Ministry of Rites, logically speaking, should be divided by Confucianism.

But famous schools, miscellaneous schools, Legalists, and even Mohists have dabbled in these areas, and who designated the entire Ministry of Rites as your Confucian world?
Among the candidates for the position of the Ministry of Rites, in addition to Confucian students, there are also a large number of scholars from other schools of thought.

Usually, Confucianism is powerful, and other schools are silent.

But the imperial examination is a platform for fair competition. Your Confucianism usually blares loudly, whether it is really that strong, after all, you still have to see the truth.

If Confucianism does not have an absolute advantage in the recruitment of positions in the Ministry of Rites, then where will the face of Confucian bigwigs go?

So, after the exam was completed, a battlefield where no gunpowder could be seen opened up in the highest university in Daqin, the doctor's palace.

Under Zhao Kun's suggestion, there is a rigorous process for marking the examination papers.

First of all, the system of blurring names was adopted. Every test paper and the candidates' names and places of origin were all pasted up so that no one could see them.

Secondly, Zhao Kun also proposed a method of transcribing test papers.

The scholars who have been admitted to the doctor's palace have taken on such a difficult task.

All stipulated the use of the same font, and cross-transcripts were cross-transcribed between schools to avoid fraud as much as possible.

After finishing one subject, transcribe one subject.

However, the marking of papers was concentrated on the night when the scientific examination ended.

Zhao Kun was originally worried that the elderly leaders of various schools would not be able to bear it. Unexpectedly, with the spirit of competing one by one, everyone aggressively promised that the examination papers could be completed in one day.

Marking papers cannot be cross-reviewed.

The leaders of each school were assigned to the departments related to their own schools to review the test questions that belonged to them.

To be honest, there are not many positions that will be released by the decision to select scholars in the imperial examination.

Although Zhao Kun's accession to the throne is imminent, the court is facing reorganization.

But unless Zhao Kun lost his head, he would never replace a large number of officials at once.

Although the courtiers of the old court are useless, they are old courtiers after all. Maybe the general direction of thinking cannot keep up with Zhao Kun's thinking, but when it comes to handling specific affairs, they are absolutely unambiguous.

Most of the people admitted in this imperial examination were low-level positions in the new court organization, and there were not many of them.

There were nearly [-] candidates, and a total of less than [-] positions were released.

There are more than 1000 positions in the Americas. Although the salary is generous, there are less than 3000 applicants.

When Lu Hou and his wife returned from overseas, the newspapers reported it extensively.

Even ordinary people know what America is.

Wild, backward, and far away, what's the use of going to such a stupid place to be an official, no matter how good the treatment is?

The attractiveness is far from enough.

Therefore, the admission ratio of the imperial examination is about one hundred to one.

A radish and a pit.

At the beginning, the Confucianism and Legalism clamored fiercely, and when the specific measures for the imperial examination were not yet decided, the leaders of the two factions even wanted to divide up half of the places.

Although this idea has not been implemented, it is a flag that has been set up after all.

If the final result came out this time, and the number of admitted scholars from the two factions did not exceed half, it would be an extremely exciting large-scale face-slapping scene.

Therefore, whether it is for slapping face or not being slapped, most of the school leaders hold back their energy.

The Daqin Doctor's Palace is brightly lit, making Xianyang City a city that never sleeps.

With the end of the imperial examination, everything became a foregone conclusion.

The face-slapped one was elated, and the face-slapped one became angry from embarrassment, and decided to fight again in the next year to get his face back.

No matter what, Daqin is moving in a better direction.

And the day when Fusu went to America has quietly arrived.

Today, in the newly built harbor in Nanyue County, hundreds of large ships almost cover the entire harbor.

As early as October last year, Fusu asked Ying Zheng to go to America, and Zhao Kun ordered preparations for this operation.

The relevant institutions of the entire Daqin have been fully mobilized.

The high-quality timber used for shipbuilding as a tribute from central Shu was continuously transported to Nanyue County.

There are also various special materials for building warships gathered here from all over the country.

The Academy of Sciences mobilized top boatmen scattered all over the country and rushed to the shipyard in Nanyue County to make various large ships.

Ying Zheng even ordered directly to recruit [-] civilians to participate in the construction of the sea-going ship.

More than [-] people worked in shifts, and with the guidance of the Academy of Sciences, five hundred large ships were built in half a year.

These big ships in front of them are the entire team of Fusu going to America this time.

Because of Ying Zheng's and Zhao Kun's attention, the Academy of Sciences this time took out all the technologies under the box.

Strong hull structure, and more labor-saving paddle wheel technology.
As long as it is conducive to navigation, regardless of the cost, it will be smashed down.

All the weapons that Daqin currently has, those that can be miniaturized, are all equipped.

What is even more exaggerated is that Zhao Kun specifically asked the Academy of Sciences to equip Fusu's flagship and the four most advanced escort ships with power generation devices with immature technology.

The reason for the arrangement is that Ying Zheng's love for his son is eager to prevent problems before they happen.

At this time, the port was crowded with people.

Fusu took a full 10,000+ people with him when he went to sea this time.

Among them, 300 people were selected from the Academy of Sciences, and 1000 people were selected from the imperial examination.

In addition, there are [-] fishermen, farmers, and [-] candidates sent by merchants across the country.

The last tens of thousands were the [-] navy led by Wang Li and the [-] new Qin army.

"It's a long way to go to America. No matter what the outcome is, you must put your own safety first!"

On the pier, Zhao Kun and Fusu stood side by side, urging each other constantly.

Fu Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Kun, elder brother knows the seriousness!"

"If you really know the seriousness, I will be relieved!"

Zhao Kun shook his head in his heart, he knew that what Fusu said was purely to deceive people.

In Zhao Kun's memory, Fusu, another parallel time and space, is a pure patriot.

For Daqin, he even disregarded his own life.

Moreover, even though Fu Su looked Wen Run on weekdays.

But the character is extremely stubborn.

This time he went to America, he shouldered a heavy responsibility.

When encountering difficulties, he will definitely only face them, and he does not know what it is to retreat.

The level of civilization development of the aborigines in the American continent is actually not much higher than that of the savages.

Dealing with these people, one can imagine the risks involved.

This is what Zhao Kun is most worried about Fusu.

However, at this time when the brothers were parting, Zhao Kun was unwilling to say more about it.

He had privately entrusted Wang Li to protect Su Su as his top priority.

The [-] new troops trained by Han Xin, together with the [-] sailors, are all Fusu's guards, to put it bluntly.

As the general accompanying Fusu, Wang Li naturally knew what to do.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao Kun to let him bring his family to South Vietnam.

"Father, is he okay?" Zhao Kun asked, changing the subject.

"Alright, alright."

Fusu answered vaguely.

After the imperial examination, he rushed to Kuaiji County without stopping.

Although before leaving, he bid farewell to Ying Zheng and told Ying Zheng not to come.

However, when it came time to leave, seeing that Ying Zheng hadn't come, Fusu was inevitably a little disappointed.

America is thousands of miles away from Daqin.

Even with Daqin's current navigation technology, it would take at least a year for a one-way voyage.

Once back and forth, I don't know how much time it will take just on the road.

And going to America to open up wasteland has a lot of business.

In the hearts of Ying Zheng and Fu Su, this farewell is a farewell.

So before Fusu left, both of them felt extremely heavy.

Seeing Fusu's unnatural expression, Zhao Kun guessed what was going on, so he patted Fusu's shoulder with a smile.

"After all, you are also the majestic King of the Americas, and it is as if you are parting from life and death!"

"The steam engine of the Academy of Sciences is about to make a breakthrough. When the steam ship has the ability to sail long distances, the one-way time from Daqin to America can be reduced to three months or even shorter. At that time, you can come back if you want!"

Hearing this, Fusu looked at Zhao Kun in surprise: "Brother Kun is serious?"

"Brother, if you don't believe me, when my father and I come to America in the future, you can ask me to blame you!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Fusu was even more surprised: "Brother Kun is going to come to America with Father Emperor?"

"Father has stayed in the land of Huaxia all his life, it's time to go out for a walk!"

With his hands behind his back, Zhao Kun said with emotion: "When the South Vietnam matter is resolved, I will take my father out to relax. The affairs of the government will be handled by the resolution committee, and there will be no problems in a short time."

"No wonder you want to come up with a resolution meeting earlier, so there is still this consideration!"

Fusu suddenly nodded.

At this moment, another question that had been puzzling for a long time flashed into my mind: "What do you think about the American King?"

"Brother, I once told you that the world is huge and can satisfy the ambitions of many people, so I have no idea about you!" Zhao Kun said with a warm smile.

Before Fusu left, Yingzheng sealed many meritorious veterans in one go during a court meeting.

The most surprising thing is that Fusu has changed from King of Qin to King of America.

You must know that the title of "king" was not used casually in the pre-Qin and even the Great Qin.

Many people knew in their hearts that apart from the emperor, Great Qin actually had no king.

Even if Fusu was named the King of Qin by Ying Zheng, he was still a prince in name only.

But when it comes to America, it is a veritable king of the Americas!
When this title was proposed, it was opposed by almost all courtiers except Zhao Kun.

Even Fusu himself wrote a letter asking Yingzheng to withdraw his order.

America is huge!
After the Spring Festival, newspapers continued to build momentum.

Not to mention nobles from the imperial court, even the people of Daqin today know what kind of place America is.

The territory is much larger than that of Daqin, and various resources are extremely rich.

Once developed, the potential is much higher than that of Daqin itself.

The distance between the two places is far away. Once a policy opening is made, Fusu's title as the king of the Americas will be considered solid.

Although everyone has absolute confidence in Fusu's character, thinking that he will definitely be able to care for Daqin.

But what about his descendants?

Once his descendants have self-reliance, how will Daqin control America?
