Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Chapter 400 Daqin's First Imperial Examination!
The influence of the imperial examination is undoubtedly huge. When thousands of people heard the news, they were all excited. Although most of them had never studied and could not become candidates, they were still very happy in their hearts.

Although I have no knowledge, I can work hard to train children and let the younger generations participate.

In the past, many people didn't let their sons go to school even though they knew that they were worthless if they didn't learn.Because even if you are really capable, it is difficult for a commoner to have a bright future, so it is better to farm the land honestly.

But it’s different now. The imperial examinations gave them hope. Which parents in the world don’t want their children and grandchildren to be able to stand out?

In the past, there was no chance, but now there is a new possibility, even if you give yourself to a similar person, you still have to provide your children with education, and strive for a different future for them.

Another few months have passed, and this matter has spread throughout the streets and alleys, and it has become a topic of conversation for many people before and after dinner.

Qin State killed many people in order to unify the six countries, and among these dead people, it is likely that some relatives are still alive.

These living people will naturally resent the people of Qin, which is also the biggest contradiction at present.

In the eyes of many people in the Six Kingdoms, Qin Jun is an evil spirit who only knows how to kill, and King Qin is an extremely terrifying existence.

Let them have both fear and hatred in their hearts.

And when this edict was issued, many people's thinking changed. Although ordinary people did not have much education, they still knew the benefits of the imperial examination.

For thousands of years, there has never been a king who has thought about the common people like this, and is willing to give the common people a chance to make a fortune.

But now Ying Zheng has done it.

This self-appointed Emperor Shi Huang did not seem to be as cruel and terrifying as imagined, maybe he is really a good monarch.

At the same time, many scholars have also begun to prepare, study harder, and often see people who borrow books.

Because the imperial edict has clearly stated that Qin Law will definitely be tested, so all those who want to take part in the imperial examination are studying and memorizing the law very hard, striving to be verbatim.

In addition, the students also worked hard to practice Qin Zhuan, not only to write accurately but also beautifully.

Reciting Qin Law every day and writing Qin Zhuan at night has become a standard routine for many people.

Ever since the news of the imperial examination spread, there were countless people who were ecstatic, gearing up and wanting to show their skills.

In such an atmosphere, the first imperial examination came soon...

The first thing to be done is the township examination. In order to make the assessment go smoothly, each township has built a simple examination room.

Just after dawn, many people came to wait outside the examination room, and they waited for a full hour before being let in.

Because this is the first imperial examination, the enthusiasm of the students is very high, and they are very active in signing up.

On average, hundreds of people participated in each county. There are now more than 700 counties in Qin State, and the total number of people exceeds 30!
Although the figure of 30 is not an exaggeration, it must be known that Daqin today only has a population of about 2000 million.

And because the level of education is generally very low, there may not be a single scholar among dozens of people.

Three to 40 candidates are already a lot.

When Ying Zheng learned of this number, he couldn't help laughing.

Because this result means that most of the scholars have recognized the imperial examination, the imperial examination of Daqin.

Through this system, not only talents can be recruited but also nobles can be suppressed.

The most important thing is to win over a large part of the hearts of the people.

As the so-called Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, the power of literati's verbal criticism is definitely not weaker than that of swords, guns, swords and halberds.

On the contrary, if the scholars are all on their side, it will be much easier to govern the country.

It is more difficult to rule the hearts of the people than to unify the territory, because the hearts of the people are the most unpredictable and difficult to control, and the imperial examination is a rope that binds the hearts of literati.

This strategy just hit the lifeblood of those literati, so that they can be used for themselves.

With this move, Yingzheng has great confidence that he can achieve the unification of the hearts of the people and build an indestructible empire.

A few days passed, the rural examinations in various places were over, and after the screening, the results came out.

A total of tens of thousands of people advanced to the next round.

Those who win in this round can go to the examination room set up by the county one month later to take the county examination.

And if you can stand out again in the county examination, you can go to the county for the county examination.

Anyone who can make it to the round of the county examination is actually a talent. Even if he is rejected in this round and cannot continue to the final round of the palace examination, then there will be a good position waiting for him.

Evaluate talents according to different levels and put them in the right place, no matter whether they are outstanding talents or some small talents, they will not be wasted.

This is the core of the imperial examination.

After half a month, the first round of the rural examination was completely over, and the results have been announced.

Among the more than 30 candidates, 8 have successfully passed the first round of selection and are eligible to join the next county examination.

After the first wave of screening, most of the retained ones were educated people. Although they were not great talents, they could still be called qualified literati.

After resting for more than half a month, the second hurdle of the imperial examination also began.

There are more than 700 counties in Daqin, and each county has an average of more than a hundred people, although the number of people does not seem to be very large.

However, the elimination rate in this round is higher than before.

The passing rate of the township examination exceeded 1%, but among the [-] candidates, at most [-] could advance to the county examination, and the elimination rate reached [-]%.

The more than [-] people who can participate in the county examination, no matter whether they can pass the test again and participate in the palace examination, are already considered good and usable talents.

But it's those who qualify for the next round that will really be valued.

Because the county examination is very strict, no matter how the students perform, only one tenth of them can finally participate in the palace examination.

After the county examination is over, the 1000 or [-] qualified candidates will be able to go to Xianyang City to take the final palace examination.

Of course, there are more than 1000 people after all, and it is impossible to pull them all into the palace.

Therefore, the palace examination was divided into two parts. If one wanted to truly enter the Xianyang Palace to meet the emperor, one had to pass another major examination.

The so-called big exam is to gather elite talents from all over the country, conduct a unified assessment, and then select the winners to enter the palace.

Finally, the first emperor Yingzheng appointed the best person in the current imperial examination.

And Ye Chen is the commander in chief of this big exam...
