The Restoration of the Great Qin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 847
The crowning of Marquis Qin Yingfei was like a sign, a weather vane. After being crowned, Marquis Qin's mansion acted resolutely, and the army quickly mobilized.

The long-planned reform, which has been brewing for a long time, kicked off vigorously in the land of the four states under the Qinhou Mansion.

The history of this reform is called the Li Fa Reform!
……

In May of the same year, the Marquis of Qin promulgated a new law, as long as they are scholars from the four prefectures of Liang, Bing, Yi, and Han, regardless of whether they are descendants of relatives, aristocratic families, or noble families.

Or the children of poor families such as farmers, servants, businessmen, etc., can participate in the national examination, and those who pass the national examination in all subjects are awarded the title of duke.

The world was shocked by this announcement, but the aristocratic family reacted better, after all, they had a natural advantage over the humble scholars.

But the scholar-bureaucrats, especially the Confucian disciples, reacted much more intensely, because for a long time, only they could embark on official careers.

Now the Marquis of Qin issued an announcement to the world that anyone who passed the national examination would be awarded the title of duke. In this way, the new law of the Marquis of Qin's Mansion would have a huge impact on them.

For a while, the scholar-bureaucrat class uttered their voices, causing turmoil in the four states.

Under the command of the Marquis of Qin today, having the title of Duke is equivalent to getting out of the humble family and becoming a new force in the Marquis of Qin's Mansion. Because they have the title of Duke, they have the ticket to enter the official career.

You must know that titles in the Marquis of Qin's Mansion are very sought-after. Only when you go to the battlefield and capture a certain number of enemy heads can you be awarded a title for meritorious service.

Now that the edict issued by the Marquis of Qin Yingfei, scholars from poor families and disciples from aristocratic families have the opportunity to obtain the title of duke without going to the battlefield.

Except for some local tyrants and Confucian disciples who opposed it, the land of the four states had to be approved by the aristocratic families and the poor.

This time, Qin Hou Yingfei directly mobilized the enthusiasm of the humble scholars.After the announcement was made, the humble scholars from the nine states of the world, as well as the disciples from the aristocratic families in the four states, came to Fushi County one after another.

……

Fushi County.

Qin Hou Yingfei, Guo Jia and others stood on the city wall, looking at the temporary residence outside the city, with a little smile on their faces.

The temporary residences are all scholars who came from the four prefectures, and they have accumulated enough experience due to the haste of the previous national examination.

This time the national exam was not only about arranging accommodation, but also preparing for the exam center in an orderly manner without any confusion.

At the same time, as scholars from all over the country entered Fushi County, Qin Hou Yingfei had already ordered the Black Ice Terrace to disperse and cleared out the spies of all the princes one by one.

The Tieying Ruishi were also dispatched and patrolled Fushi County in pieces to ensure the safety of the people in the city and the lives of the scholars who participated in the national examination.

"My lord, there are tens of thousands of scholars participating in the national examination this time. In the past, Confucius taught three thousand disciples and out of 72 great sages, this time there will be at least nearly ten thousand passers."

A gleam of light flashed in Shi A's eyes, looking at the densely packed scholars, he said: "In this way, the matter of reform can be put on the agenda."

"Haha."

……

Hearing Shi A's excited words, Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other, laughed, and said: "These tens of thousands of scholars who can really pass the examination will not exceed five thousand at most."

The eight subjects of the national examination papers are all produced by them. Guo Jia naturally knows how difficult the national examination is.

In particular, this is the first time that Marquis of Qin Yingfei proposed to confer titles of dukes on qualified candidates.This has led to this national exam, and there are many fishers in troubled waters.

"What Feng Xiao said is true. This time, being able to get [-] qualified candidates is already a kind of heaven's blessing."

Ying Fei knew in his heart how difficult the national examination questions were this time, among which the legalists and military strategists were the most difficult. When Xu Shu sent the test questions, Ying Fei felt that the questions were too difficult.

Because whether it is the legalists' discussion of the pros and cons of the Qin law, or the improvement of the Qin law, and the military strategist's analysis of the Battle of Hulao Pass, even the person who asked the question may not be able to answer these questions.

……

"Gongyan, has the number been counted?"

The entire national examination was in charge of Jiang Wan, the chief historian of the Marquis of Qin's mansion, and Jiang Wan's talent was naturally more than sufficient.

"My lord, through the registration and compilation of these days, most of the people who took the national examination came from the three prefectures of Liang and Yi. At the same time, there were also people from You, Ji and other prefectures."

A look of shock flashed across Jiang Wan's eyes. He looked at Qin Hou Yingfei and smiled, "It's just that there are basically no one in Hanzhou who participated in the national examination. A total of 430 students participated in the national examination."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Ying Fei was satisfied with the working ability of Qinhou Mansion.

"Hanzhou is full of people left over from the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Confucianism has just settled in. If you want scholars from Hanzhou to take the national examination, I am afraid it will be ten years later."

Ying Fei knows in her heart that cultural inheritance cannot be accomplished overnight, it takes time to settle.

……

"Gongyan, you are in charge of the national examination. You must ensure fairness and justice. Favoritism and fraud are strictly prohibited. Once you are found to be expelled from the four states, you will be expelled from the four states at the same time."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Jiang Wan's expression became serious. From Qin Hou Yingfei's expression, he saw a little seriousness.

Jiang Wan knew in his heart that since Marquis Qin Yingfei said so, once there was any malpractice for personal gain during the national examination, shocking waves would erupt.

Whether it is the officials in charge or the participating scholars, I am afraid that there will not be a place to stay under Qin Hou's command.

Especially in the era when people all over the world love to be famous, once the reputation of favoritism and fraud is known to the world because of posting a list, this person's life will be ruined.

The price is too high, so big that it is prohibitive!
……

Qin Hou Yingfei came from later generations, so he naturally knew that favoritism and cheating in this kind of exams were repeatedly prohibited.I also know that the spread of favoritism and fraud has an impact on the national examination system.

This is a symptom, and there is no good solution at all.In desperation, Qinhou Yingfei decided to pay a heavy price to deter those who practice selfishness and fraud.

It is a new idea to put an end to favoritism and fraud with heavy penalties.

Ying Fei knew the power of role models in her heart, once someone who practiced favoritism and cheating was severely punished, it would frighten the latecomers.

……

Because of this, Qin Hou Yingfei asked Tie Yingruishi to block the exam room, and no one was allowed to approach it until the national exam started.

Even Jiang Wan, Guo Jia and others were not allowed to approach, and at the same time strictly controlled the number of people who saw the problem, trying to keep it secret.

……

"Such a grand event is really rare in a hundred years!"

A gleam of light flashed across Cai Yong's eyes, looking at the scholars outside the city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.As Qin Xue's lecturer, he seems to have seen how Qin Xue will flourish in the future.

"Haha."

……

Hearing this, Ying Fei smiled slightly, glanced at Cai Yong, and said: "When the world is unified and Qin Xue is popular in the world, the grand occasion will be a thousand times that of this time."
