To put it simply, before the emphasis was on martial arts, but now it is Wenzhi that needs to be put first.

The imperial examination proposed by Beichen is entirely an unprecedented system for the selection of officials.

It is conceivable that once this system is implemented, how many talents will emerge.

However, such an approach is tantamount to cutting off the nobles' monopoly on this aspect. It is conceivable that once those people know about this, they will definitely blow their hair.

But from another point of view, it is a good thing for him, the emperor, to be able to promote more people from poor families.

After all, those common people have no foundation, even if they are in a high position, they cannot threaten the ruler, which is more convenient for management.

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng has decided to implement the imperial examination system, but there are still some things that need to be clarified.

Immediately, he looked at Beichen and asked, "I already know something about the imperial examination, but how does this matter relate to the question I mentioned earlier?"

Beichen heard that "the imperial examination system has three main functions."

"One is to recruit more talents from all walks of life in the world and let them work for the empire."

"The second is to gather the hearts of the people of the world."

"For thousands of years, those official positions have always been controlled by powerful people. It is difficult for ordinary poor people to stand out even if they have real talents and learning."

"And the imperial examination undoubtedly gave everyone a chance to jump the dragon's gate, so wouldn't everyone in the world be grateful?"

"As long as all the people in the world think that you are really a good emperor, they will naturally accept the edicts issued."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked, "What about the third point?"

Bei Chen picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, then said, "Everything has two sides. No matter what system it is, its essence is a kind of bondage."

"For example, the imperial examinations seem to give scholars a way out for prosperity, but in fact they are also tying many people to this system."

"For example, there are a group of hounds around, although they are temporarily overwhelmed, they may still rush at any time.

To keep it from hurting us, the best thing to do is to throw a bone and let all the hounds scramble for it.In this way, their aggressiveness will be diverted, and no further incidents will occur. "

"The people are very simple, as long as there is a way out, they will not do anything out of the ordinary."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also understood the meaning of the other party's words.

The significance of the imperial examination is not only to select talents, but also to point out a direction for the people of the world.

Let everyone work hard towards one place, and make it a lifelong pursuit.

When people have something to do, they will have pursuits and sustenance in their hearts, and they will naturally settle down.

Although there must be only a small number of people who can be selected in the end, it is that little hope that will attract countless people to rush upwards desperately. This is the human heart.

Why do people in the world rebel?

In essence, the interests of most people have been harmed.

However, the imperial examination system gave the common people the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Under such circumstances, anyone who wants to pass the imperial examination to become a master will definitely maintain this system, and while maintaining this system, he is actually protecting the upper-level leaders who implement this system.

In this way, the Great Qin Empire will naturally become more stable.

Looking at the former's reaction, Bei Chen knew that he would definitely agree to this proposal.

The imperial examination system is far from perfect. As he said before, in essence, this is actually a relatively benign restraint.

As a time traveler, he knew how many people would devote themselves to this system once it was implemented.

In the end, the person who can really succeed by relying on this road is probably one in a million.

Most people have the dream of being an official and lord, and then spend their whole lives on it.

But there is no way, the nature of today's society is like this.A country that has just stepped into feudalism cannot afford a more advanced system.

From a certain point of view, the imperial examination system is already ahead of its time.

No matter how many shortcomings it has, it does give more people a chance to show themselves.

Let the common people have the possibility to become princes and generals, which in itself is a huge progress.

Moreover, the emergence of imperial examinations is of great help to the current problems facing Qin.

If Yingzheng wants to implement the text and the law, then he can make a fuss about the content of the imperial examination.

For example, it can be announced that anyone who wants to take part in the imperial examination must first be able to write beautiful Qin seal characters and be familiar with the laws of the Qin State, otherwise you will not even be able to pass the provincial examination.

Under such circumstances, those who want fame and wealth will immediately immerse themselves in the study of Qin Zhuan and laws.

The world is bustling, and everything is for profit. As long as there are enough benefits, it is easy to talk about anything.

As the saying goes, chivalry uses martial arts to violate prohibitions, and Confucianism uses literature to violate law.

The same is true in reverse, when those idle knights and scholars settle down, the country will be much more stable.

The state of Qin has a strong military force, and the rangers can't afford much trouble. Now that there is an imperial examination system, scholars can stop thinking about making trouble.

Such a combination of rigidity and softness can make the country develop better.

After understanding Beichen's thoughts, Ying Zheng also truly understood the importance of the imperial examination system.

But there is still a question in his mind.
