Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 438 Jixia Academy—Li Si!
After leaving the side hall, Yingjun rushed directly towards the main hall.

According to the situation reported by the Yin Yang Family's Da Siming and Shao Siming just now on the road.

The news of recruiting magi has now spread to all countries, and many talented scholars who have confidence in themselves are rushing here from various places after hearing the news.

After two days of screening, only a dozen of those who arrived first met the conditions and were selected.

The remaining ones, who are somewhat capable, will either be assigned to Lu Buwei and asked to help him elect the county system, or they will leave here.

Those who were unwilling to leave were forcibly captured by Zheng Guo and others to work as hard laborers to help build water conservancy projects.

In short, no one who comes here has nothing to do.

Ying Jun didn't think anything was wrong with what the two of them did, but was in favor of it.

This can also be regarded as maximizing resources!

After all, no one knows whether keeping these people from other countries in the country will pose a danger.

At this moment, those selected talented scholars were waiting in the main hall.

"Your Highness, this is the list of those ten people!"

With that said, Shao Siming handed the list in his hand to Ying Jun.

Ying Jun turned his head and glanced at Young Siming. Even with the veil, he still couldn't hide the exquisite face under the veil.

Compared with Da Siming's charm, Shao Siming makes people feel a little mysterious.

And Shao Siming is also full of curiosity about Yingjun.

What kind of strength does this person have that can make His Excellency Donghuang value him!
He even did not hesitate to ask the Yin and Yang family to surrender to him.

In terms of strength...

Although Ying Jun's strength is higher than hers, he can at most be able to fight with the left and right guardians. Above the left and right guardians, there are Concubine Dongjun Yan and His Excellency Donghuang, who has never shown any strength.

In terms of strategy and intelligence, His Excellency Donghuang is much better than Yingjun.

So far, His Excellency Donghuang has never paid attention to Mohism and Confucianism, but now he pays so much attention to Yingjun. How can we not make people curious?
Naturally, Yingjun didn't know this. He took the list from Shao Siming's hand and looked at the two lines of names on it, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

To rebuild this country, these people alone are not enough!
But now he has more important things to do.

Just when Yingjun was about to put the list away, he suddenly saw a familiar name on it.

Jixia Academy—Li Si!
Jixia Academy is an institution of higher learning founded by the current high-ranking officials of Qi State, and it has gathered many talented people from various countries.

Among them, Jixia Academy is mainly based on Huang-Lao's theory, but there are also academics from various schools of thought colliding and gathering there. It can be regarded as the core place where the Bai family's thoughts and academics gather!
It's just that although there are many talented people there, there are also a lot of mediocre people who have been sent away by money!
However, Xunzi of Jixia Academy was known as the "Queen Sage". He accepted and taught apprentices and stayed there until his death. Among his many apprentices, the most famous ones were Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang.

Yingjun couldn't be more familiar with Li Si. It was precisely because of Li Si's appearance that he advised the First Emperor. After unifying the six countries, he established a complete set of rules and regulations, which were even used by later generations for nearly 2000 years.

Historically, it was he who proposed the abolition of the feudal system and the implementation of a system of counties and counties, with books and carriages on the same track, unified weights and measures, unified currency, unified laws, etc. These alone are enough to prove Li Si's talent.

Unfortunately, when the First Emperor passed away and Li Si miscalculated in his old age, he was coerced by Zhao Gao and others to tamper with the First Emperor's edict. As a result, not only did the Second Emperor of Qin die, but he was also falsely accused of treason by Zhao Gao and sentenced to five punishments. He was cut in half in Xianyang and was killed by Yi San. The fate of the clan.

Seeing this name, Ying Jun's eyes flashed with light. The only civil servant available under his command now is Jia Xu. If he can be taken under his command, it will definitely be of great help.

Thinking of this, Yingjun walked straight towards the main hall.

And this time!
In the huge palace.Except for the guards at the door and a dozen talented people who had been summoned, there was no one else in the entire hall.

Looking at the empty palace, several people in the crowd couldn't help but talk to each other.

"I didn't expect that the State of Zhao, which had existed for hundreds of years, was finally destroyed by Qin. Once Zhao State was destroyed, probably no one among the five countries could withstand this army of tigers and wolves."

"Yes, the Qin State has never been defeated since Yingjun led the army in the battle, and the soldiers under his command have become more and more brave in battles. However, the Zhao State has become destitute since losing Handan and was defeated. How can it compete with this army? With the tiger and wolf army contending, the country's subjugation is a foregone conclusion!

But what I didn’t expect was that the people of Qin and Zhao had always been jealous of each other. Why did Yingjun kill all the soldiers of Zhao after destroying Zhao, while the people of Zhao who surrendered did not hurt anyone? , and even spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to help these Zhao people build water conservancy projects and solve droughts! "

"What the bachelor said is absolutely true. It's not just us who can't figure it out. I'm afraid even the King of Qin didn't understand it. Otherwise, how could he be so stupid as to allocate money to him and ask him to build canals for the people of Zhao State."

"..."

At this moment, a voice came from behind the crowd: "The people are the foundation of a country. If there are no people, how can there be generals? If there are no generals, how can there be people?"

"Only when the two are of the same mind and are in the same boat can a country be strong!"

"Obviously, King Qin and Prince Yingjun knew this and did not kill these people."

After hearing these words, everyone turned their heads and looked behind them with surprise.

I saw a man with a goatee and a gray robe slowly walking out from behind.

"May I ask your name, sir, and where you learned from him!"

Among the people who were discussing just now, a young man stepped forward and bowed and asked.

They were all selected from the first group of people to arrive and did not know each other.

The man in a green robe immediately bowed and responded politely: "I'm Li Si, here from Jixia Academy!"

"I hope you will forgive me if there is anything offensive or inappropriate in what I just said!"

However, when everyone heard the name of Jixia Academy, everyone saluted Li Si with a hint of admiration on their faces.

Those who can go to Jixia Academy either have extremely high talents or are from high-ranking nobles.

But no matter which one they can afford to offend.

Those bachelors with extremely high talents can obtain considerable official positions in the government by relying on their talents no matter which country they go to.

Li Si also returned the greetings to them one by one. After all, those who can come here have already obtained the ticket to work under Ying Jun, and maybe they will become colleagues in the future.

"Now that we have passed the screening, we can get a job in Qin State. What are your plans?"

When Li Si asked, a bachelor standing next to him came out immediately, raised his hands and said, "His Royal Highness has the demeanor of Lord Wu An in the past. I'm afraid he will look down on me, so I'm going to go see other powerful people!"

"I think so too!"

"As a prince, it's natural to have a high vision, but I still want to try my luck. Besides, His Royal Highness should also be looking for truly talented people!"
