Chapter 2305: Implementing the imperial examination to select scholars, and all countries follow suit and disarmament

Chapter 2301: Implementing the imperial examination to select scholars, and all countries will follow suit and disarmament

The more he talked, the more excited Guo Jia became, but he also had the sense to stop it in time and did not overly insult the big man and spray everything out in public.

The art of language lies in this. It must be done in moderation. If you use too much force, it will be counterproductive.

“The early Han Dynasty perished due to tyranny and corruption, and most of those corrupt officials were selected through the Chaoju system. Doesn’t this just mean that the Chaoju system is no longer up to date?”

Liu Ye was shocked by Guo Jia's momentum and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Seeing this, Wang Xizhi quickly stood up and retorted: "Master Guo's words are wrong..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Renjie stood up and retorted: "Master Wang, this is wrong..."

As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, Qu Yuan stood up and retorted: "Master Di, what you said is wrong..."

Before Qu Yuan finished speaking, Wang Meng interrupted him and gave a severe rebuttal.

Although Qu Yuan was extremely dissatisfied with this, Wang Meng was the prime minister and his immediate superior. Naturally, he did not dare to interrupt Wang Meng and could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

Gradually, the debate about whether the Chajuzhichang was suitable for the Qin Dynasty turned into a debate between officials from aristocratic families and officials from poor families.

Ying Hao listened quietly to the civil servant's remarks, but system prompts kept coming to his mind.

 【Ding dong, Guo Jia's skill 'Ghost' is activated...】

 【Ding dong, Xi Zhicai skill... activates...】

 【Ding dong, Liu Ye’s skill...activates...】

 【Ding dong, Wang Meng's skill...activates...】

 …

  Officials from a humble family and officials from aristocratic families belong to the same faction, and they each hold their own opinions. Both sides are constantly refuting each other's views, and their skills are also bursting out one after another. The generals who are watching on the side are dumbfounded.

Ying Hao himself is from a wealthy family, so he is well aware of the urinal nature of the family. In order to prevent the family from growing bigger and becoming a worm in the country, he has been wary of the family since the beginning of the army, and focused on promoting the children of the poor family in terms of employment, so as to harmonize with the family. To compete, Wang Meng, Guo Jia, Di Renjie and other ministers all came from poor families.

 Generally speaking, in the officialdom of Da Qin, the number of officials from poor families was no less than that of officials from aristocratic families, and many of them occupied extremely important positions.

Seeing that the advantage of this debate was gradually shifting towards the disadvantaged side, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel anxious and winked at Xun Yu, who had been silent on one side.

Liu Ye hoped that he could speak for the noble family from the position of the noble family. After all, among the officials from the noble family, Xun Yu, as the deputy prime minister, had the highest position.

Xun Yu was very conflicted at this time. He was from a wealthy family and should protect the interests of the family. However, he knew clearly that the imperial examination system was indeed superior to the imperial examination system.

Xun Yu wanted to improve the country's talent selection system, but he did not want to harm the interests of the family. With this conflicting mentality, he simply remained silent and pretended not to see Liu Ye's eyes.

Xun Yu was not only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the deputy prime minister. He did not speak. The officials of the aristocratic family lost their backbone and naturally found it difficult to resist. Wang Meng, Guo Jia and others pursued and attacked.

 Under the spitting comments of officials from poor families, officials from aristocratic families were scolded one by one and lost the debate without any suspense.

 Officials from poor families, led by Wang Mengxi Zhicai, saw that no official from aristocratic families dared to stand up. They were stunned at first, and then fell into ecstasy.

For many years, the poor family has been the target of being pushed and rubbed on the ground by the aristocratic family, but now the children of the poor family finally stood up and felt proud for once.

Regarding this first confrontation between the poor Qin family and the aristocratic family, Ying Hao, as the emperor, watched the whole process without expressing any opinions. After it was over, he asked knowingly:

“Since both the Opera Minister and Prime Minister Wang say that the inspection and examination system is out of date, what kind of system should be used to replace it?”

This statement also showed Ying Hao's attitude. He also supported Hanmen.

 “Imperial examination system.”

Wang Meng and Xi Zhicai said in unison.

Hearing this, the officials from the aristocratic families said in their hearts that it was true, but no one dared to speak out against it. Officials from poor families have gained momentum, and the imperial examination to replace the gap is also a general trend. It is no longer something they can stop, so the look of defeat on their faces is even worse.

The imperial examination system has long been in existence. It was first proposed by King Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and has been implemented for several years. It has attracted many talented people from poor families to solve the problem for the bitter cold Sui Kingdom located in Liangzhou. This solved the dilemma of insufficient quantity and quality of Sui officials.

Cao Cao saw that the imperial examination system was so effective, so he followed the example of Sui and implemented the imperial examination system in his own country, which was also a great success.

With the two successful cases of Sui and Wei, it stands to reason that all countries should follow suit and adopt a more advanced imperial examination system. However, the reality is that only three countries have implemented the imperial examination so far.

 Only Zhu Di’s Ming Dynasty became the third power to successfully implement the imperial examination system.

Are the monarchs of various countries, including Ying Hao, collectively blind and unable to see the benefits brought by the imperial examination system?

Of course not, but the resistance to the implementation of the imperial examination was too great.

Once the imperial examination system is implemented, it means that aristocratic families will lose their dominant position in the selection of officials. This is tantamount to digging up the roots of aristocratic families.

 The aristocratic families would never accept it, so they tried their best to obstruct it. Once it was forcibly implemented, it would only plunge the country into turmoil.

The reason why Mingneng successfully implemented the imperial examination system in the Sui and Wei dynasties was because the strength of the country's aristocratic families had been so weak that it was almost non-existent.

 Without resistance, it would naturally be easy to implement the imperial examination system.

 But the Qin, Tang, Shu, Chu, and Wu states were different, especially the Great Qin.

Although the Qin Dynasty placed great emphasis on the children of poor families, it also used the children of aristocratic families, and the number of aristocratic families was the largest in the country.

Even though Ying Hao has implemented land reform, deprived the family of private soldiers, and severely weakened the family several times, the Qin family still has a lot of energy, and at least the humble family that has not yet grown up cannot resist it.

These aristocratic families would not and did not dare to rebel against Ying Hao, but they did not break the law, they just opposed the imperial examination system with all their strength.

Ying Hao can't just kill all these people just because they object, right?

That wouldn’t make him a tyrant.

It is precisely because of this that Ying Hao delayed it until now and did not forcibly implement the imperial examination system.

He is waiting for the day when the power of the humble family will surpass that of the aristocratic family in the court of Qin Dynasty. He will follow the current and carry out the imperial examination system without any disturbance.

 Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and this day has finally arrived. The power of the poor families in Da Qin finally surpassed that of the aristocratic families, and used their own power to defeat the aristocratic families, winning this war without gunpowder, and gaining opportunities for the children of the poor families in the world to serve as officials.

Ying Hao witnessed the whole process with his own eyes and was sincerely proud of the officials from poor families. For him, the implementation of the imperial examination system was just a matter of words, but if it was led by poor families, the meaning would be completely different. .

It is no exaggeration to call it epoch-making.

The Han family has now achieved great success, and has convinced the family officials with verbal abuse, and naturally there will be no more disturbances after that.

After Xi Zhicai talked about the benefits of selecting officials through the imperial examination system, Ying Hao made a decision directly in front of all the officials and announced that from now on, Da Qin would abolish the imperial examination and implement the imperial examination.

 Da Qin has the largest territory and the largest population. Although it is not the first country to implement the imperial examination, it will definitely be the country that will benefit the most once it is implemented.

Since then, Da Qin has also entered an era of vigorous development, with major policies such as revising laws, disarmament, and promoting imperial examinations being carried out simultaneously.

“Outside of the hall, outside of the number, the empire will implement the imperial examination system, and all citizens of the Qin Dynasty will be treated equally and are eligible to sign up.”

 After the rise of the newspaper industry, the profession of newsboy was born.

When the newsboys sold newspapers that printed the latest policies of the empire, the news that Da Qin was about to take the imperial examination spread quickly throughout the world like a hurricane.

The children of the Hanmen and counties in Daqin learned that the empire was finally going to implement the science system. They cried very much, excitedly went out to call His Majesty Long live, and rushed to tell the same good news to the same window.

Although the imperial examination system was implemented in the Sui, Wei and Ming Dynasties, giving children from poor families a new channel to become officials, not all children from poor families had the courage to give up everything and risk their lives to go to these three countries to participate in the scientific examinations.

 War, distance, travel, etc. are all factors that prevent disciples from poor families from going for scientific examinations.

In addition, the contents of the scientific examinations in the Sui, Wei and Ming Dynasties were different. They didn't know whether they could pass the exam. What if they failed?

 Do you want to go home begging?

But if you really do this, you may starve to death on the way before you get home, or be killed by bandits or bandits.

If they had a choice, the disciples from the poor families would naturally want to take the scientific examination in their own country. However, as the overlord of the princes, Da Qin kept delaying and delayed opening the subject to obtain scholars. This would naturally make the disciples from the poor families in Da Qin become more and more dissatisfied with the imperial court and the government. Ying Hao was disappointed.

Most of the poor disciples would not care about Ying Hao's efforts to implement the imperial examination. They only knew that the imperial examination was implemented in the Sui, Wei and Ming dynasties, but not in the most powerful Qin Dynasty.

Only a small number of sensible people from poor families knew that the obstacle to obtaining scholars through the imperial examination lay not with the monarch, but with the country's aristocratic families. However, the aristocratic families of the Qin Dynasty were still powerful, so they called on their colleagues to be sensible and restrained, and to provide support to the monarch and the ministers in the court. Give us some time.

This statement was also recognized by the disciples of the poor family. However, after waiting year after year, Da Qin still did not implement the imperial examination. The disappointment in their hearts was evident, and it even turned into resentment.

However, when the news came out that the Qin Dynasty was about to implement the imperial examination and open the examination to recruit scholars, all the resentment in the hearts of the disciples from the poor family disappeared at this moment.

At this moment, they only have one thought in their minds, and that is: Your Majesty is wise. And he must participate in this year's scientific examination and strive to become the first number one scholar after the founding of the Qin Dynasty and leave his name in history.

Different from the ecstasy of the disciples from poor families, the disciples from aristocratic families wailed when they learned that the Qin generals would select officials through the imperial examination.

Although the children of aristocratic families have more educational resources and a better educational environment, not all children of aristocratic families are talented, and there are also many children who are just messing around and waiting to die.

Nowadays, we see that generals are placed on the same starting line as the disciples from poor families, and they are fairly selected through the imperial examination. The children from the aristocratic families with real talents and practical knowledge naturally don't care, but those children from the aristocratic families without talent are not sure that they can beat the disciples from the poor family. This is tantamount to completely ending their career.

How can this son of a noble family accept this? They all went to make trouble with the elders of their families who were officials in the court, hoping to use the power of their families to prevent Da Qin from implementing the imperial examination to recruit scholars, but they got a scolding.

 Nowadays, the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty has been dominated by officials from poor families, and it is no longer dominated by officials from aristocratic families. Moreover, opening up subjects to recruit scholars has become a general trend. Let them stop it, rather than let them seek death.

The children of the aristocratic family were scolded, and although they felt aggrieved, they had no other choice. Even the elders were powerless, so they just accepted their fate.

Those who still want to become officials can only study hard, improve themselves, and strive to be on the scientific examination list.

 If you are self-aware and think you are not the one, you can still enjoy glory and wealth if you don't change your career as early as possible and take over the family business.

From this we can also see that children from aristocratic families have far greater choices than children from poor families.

Children from poor families can only take the scientific examination, but even if children from aristocratic families fail to pass the scientific examination, they still have many choices.

Some people may think this is unfair, but how can there be absolute fairness in this world? Reincarnation is also a technical job.

The Qin Dynasty vigorously promoted the imperial examination, and the news quickly spread to various countries. However, the various countries did not pay attention to this. Instead, they attached great importance to the disarmament of the Qin Dynasty.

Under the strong military might of the Qin Dynasty, the neighbors on the border were frightened. Even if it was to save the nation, they had to follow the pace and expand the army.

Now that the Qin Dynasty will actually take the initiative to disarmament, the kings of various countries are not stupid, and they can see the real purpose of the Qin Dynasty's disarmament at a glance.

That must be to liberate the finances and vigorously develop internal affairs. After the results of the war are digested and completely restored, Da Qin will become even stronger.

Thinking of this, all countries feel a heavy pressure. After all, the Qin disarmament is good news for all countries in the short term, but it is not good news in the long term.

If they are obsessed with their current achievements and continue to stand still, the gap between them and Great Qin will only get wider and wider.

If they want to avoid being widened by Da Qin, they have only two ways to go:

 1. Expanding externally, annexing other countries to strengthen oneself.

  2. Vigorously develop domestic affairs and strive to develop and tap into greater national strength.

Since the development of the New Warring States Period, all small countries have been annexed, and large countries have no direction to continue to expand, so the only way to go is to develop internal affairs.

However, huge military expenditures have restricted the development of various countries. Even if they want to develop their national strength, they do not have enough funds to invest in the development of their own internal affairs.

Now that Qin has taken the initiative to disarmament, the military pressure on various countries is reduced, and naturally there is no need to maintain so many conventional armies.

Countries can also follow the Qin Dynasty in disarmament, invest the liberated wealth in development, and strive to develop their own national strength. Only in this way can they not be abandoned by the times.

 So, shortly after learning that the Qin Dynasty was about to disarm, the six kingdoms of Wei, Ming, Song, Chu, Wu, and Shu all successively spread the news of disarmament.

Especially for the Cao Wei Kingdom, the total military strength in the country was only 300,000, but Cao Cao actually wanted to cut off half of the troops at once, retaining only the 150,000 elite with the strongest combat power, and all the military expenditures released were invested in the development of the country. among.

 It can be said that a lot of money has been spent.
