Daqin: Queen Mother, you don’t want to enter the priest’s workshop, do you?

"You don't need to worry about these things. Your first task now is to work out the content of the imperial examination system with Li Si and the others."

"Remember, the focus of the imperial examination is not poetry, but government orders and legal regulations!"

"Here!"

Cao Changqing kept Ying Xi's words firmly in mind, and then said: "Your Highness, since the last time you cheated alchemists, you have been searching for useless books in the world, and now you have collected almost all of them. What do you plan to do, Your Highness?"

"Burned!"

"Burned?!"

……

After the end of the last early morning, it soon entered the New Year's Eve.

The ministers are all worshiping the gods, hoping that the gods can bless them to go up and down smoothly next year.

In the Palace of the King of Qin, Ying Xi told Ying Zheng a few things about where he was during this time.

After listening to Ying Zheng, he pondered for a long time and finally nodded.

Apart from feeling that Ying Xi had treated his clan members too harshly, Ying Zheng had no other dissatisfaction.

Even for the imperial examination system that Ying Xi made a final decision on, Ying Zheng even raised his hands to agree.

He is able to achieve the great event of unifying the six countries, so his vision is naturally extraordinary.

It is precisely because of this that he also has insight into various problems in the current Great Qin.

In order to solve these problems, his views are exactly the same as Ying Xi's.

Sacrifice is inevitable!

The following year, in the spring of the 21st year of Qin Wangzheng, the imperial examination system was officially implemented.

During the Chinese New Year, Cao Changqing, Li Si and others did not take vacations, but worked overtime to draft documents.

After Ying Xi personally reviewed it and put forward a few comments for revision, it was distributed to the counties.

When it was heard that the recommendation system was abolished and the imperial examination system in which everyone had a chance was adopted, the entire Great Qin Dynasty exploded in an instant.

The common people were naturally grateful to Ying Xi for implementing the imperial examination system, and then happily went back to prepare to take the exam.

But those aristocratic families who regard the recommendation system as their lifeblood are extremely dissatisfied.

For them, the reason why they can become nobles is the recommendation system and hereditary system.

In the hereditary system, they can let their descendants inherit their seats.

The recommendation system allows them to put the talents they have cultivated in the positions they want.

It can be said that the reason why the aristocratic family can flourish and survive for thousands of years is the recommendation system.

They couldn't imagine what their family would do without the recommendation system.

Before, Ying Xi used a series of means to target the clan, and listed a series of crimes against the noble family, but after all, they did not shake their foundation, and they could bear it.

Because it's not fatal.

But now, the big knife that Ying Xi swung had threatened their vitals, and they couldn't bear it any longer.

All of a sudden, noble forces from all over the Qin Dynasty began to act secretly.

These actions were seen by the remnants of the Six Nations, and they were also ready to move.

Even Xunzi and Xiaoyaozi, who were in the Xianyang Academy, couldn't help but became active.

Of course, the ultimate goal of Xunzi and Xiaoyaozi is not for the recommendation system and the imperial examination system, but because of another major event that Ying Xi has to do.

Burning books and burying scholars!

Chapter 354 So what about burning books and defrauding people?

Outside Xianyang City, Han Xin ordered his men to dump the books collected during this period of time on the ground.

Most of these books are works of Confucianism, while the rest are books promoting superstition.

For these books that can only be called dross, Ying Xi has no intention of letting them pass down through the ages.

In addition to the books, there was also a group of alchemists who were tied up, and people who preached sects everywhere were pushed over.

Li Si, who spent a day preaching the benefits of the imperial examination system on the outskirts of Xianyang, entered the city in a carriage, and saw this scene that made him tremble with fear.

God, what is your Highness going to do?

Are you going to burn books and defraud people again?

This is going to be a big deal!

Li Si didn't care about rest, so he hurried to Xianyang Palace to meet Ying Xi.

"His Royal Highness, calm down, calm down! Don't burn books to deceive people!"

Li Si spoke out of breath.

Right now, the recommendation system has just offended the most powerful aristocratic family in Daqin, is it going to offend those scholars now?

Is His Highness planning to offend these two great forces?

Something really big is going to happen!

Ying Xi didn't speak, but just looked at Li Si fixedly.

Just when Li Si wondered if Ying Xi had changed his mind, Ying Xi finally spoke.

"Li Si, if you get old and confused, I can appoint someone else to replace you."

Li Si's breathing stopped suddenly, and his heart beat wildly.

Your Highness is dissatisfied with him!

but……

"Your Highness, I have absolutely no selfish intentions. I'm really being attacked on both sides. I can't handle it!"

Li Si earnestly advised him that he had already boarded Ying Xi's big ship, so he could only focus on Ying Xi.

Ying Xi naturally knew that Li Si was telling the truth, but he still waved his hand without changing his mind.

"There are quite a lot of memorials from Cao Tingwei, so go and help him share some of them."

After finishing speaking, Ying Xi looked down at the memorial and skipped the topic just now.

Li Si wanted to say more, but Cao Changqing gave him a wink at this moment.

Li Si had no choice but to suppress the incomprehension and confusion in his heart, and sat aside to read the memorial.

It's just that no matter what the memorial is, after seeing it, all he thinks about is the situation outside.

For a while, Li Si could only pray to the sky.

God, let it rain!

……

Outside the city of Xianyang, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

After the last car was transported, Han Xin scanned the crowd.

The crowd was swept away by his gaze, many of them flinched and did not dare to look at Han Xin.

These people are all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and people from hundreds of families.

Looking at these people, Han Xin did not speak, but walked up to the mountain of books and stepped on them.

This scene made many people around look angry.

In this era, science and technology are not developed, and the appearance of each book is carved stroke by stroke. It can be said that each book is a special existence.

And because it takes time and effort, books in this era are extremely expensive.

Ordinary people's homes are often proud of owning a book.

But these books are being trampled on by Han Xin now, without the slightest pity.

How can this not make their hearts hurt?

Han Xin seemed to see the anger and heartache of these people, and smiled coldly when he heard the order Ying Xi had given him before it came out.

Afterwards, one foot of Han Xin was heavier than the other, and he walked back and forth on the books, stepping on them.

Not only that, he also called a few soldiers over to step on it with him.

After such a bad behavior, the people around finally couldn't help it, and couldn't help crying.

Although Han Xin and the others stepped on the book, the pain was in their hearts!

With the first person crying, we soon became one.

Hearing the sounds of mourning around him, Han Xin laughed, went to the torch, and threw it towards the books.

The trampled books immediately burned, the flames were raging, and the heat was scorching.

The people around were suddenly anxious. Even if they were trampled on just now, the books still existed.

But now, the books are about to be burned!

Many people rushed to the middle immediately, trying to rescue the books.

However, Han Xin had already received Ying Xi's instructions. In addition to the hundreds of soldiers he brought, he also brought hundreds of snow dragon riders.

Seeing that the crowd became restless, the Daxue Dragon Riders roared in unison, which immediately frightened everyone.

"General Han, why do you want to do this? Wouldn't you be scolded by people all over the world?"

Li Xin looked at the burning fire, and at the people around who were filled with righteous indignation, feeling a little puzzled.

Of course, Han Xin didn't understand Ying Xi's intention of doing this, but said solemnly: "We will do as His Highness ordered!"

Since following Ying Xi, Han Xin has been overwhelmed by Ying Xi's charisma.

For him, even if Ying Xi wanted him to die now, he would not hesitate at all.

Li Xin sighed: "It's just that His Highness will be scolded again."

In Xianyang Palace, Li Si looked at the memorial, but his eyes were not focused at all.
