Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 38: Promote civil service examinations and establish colleges!

Speaking of children from poor families, there are some in the court, but they are all idle and do not hold real power.

Prime Minister Li Si, General Bai Qi, General Mengtian and others all represent a force with profound foundations and can be found in every corner of the Qin Dynasty.

After one hundred thousand years of development, factions have long been formed.

People are selfish and will definitely protect their own interests. Over time, the current official selection system was formed.

"Prince, keep talking!"

Emperor Qin's expression was calm, making it difficult to tell whether he was supporting or opposing.

Many ministers opened their mouths slightly, but did not dare to speak. Don't forget that Emperor Qin was a strong man in the holy realm.

Even if they had a hundred courages, they would not dare to ignore Emperor Qin's words.

"Da Qin's official selection system has three major drawbacks. If it is not changed, Da Qin will always be short of talents!"

"First, if you need to be recommended by an official of fifth rank or above, except for the children of powerful people, who can get the recommendation?"

"Second, the assessment method is simple. The assessment of officials by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is based on the realm of warriors, resulting in many people with real talents and knowledge being eliminated!"

"Third, the education system is imperfect. Colleges can only be opened to the rich and powerful, and ordinary poor families have no chance to study!"

Qin Wudao's loud voice echoed in the hall.

These words made a few ministers think deeply and feel that they made sense, but more ministers were filled with fear.

This is a knife!

A knife for killing powerful people!

Without an official selection system, how can their descendants lead a superior life?

"Your Highness, officials of the fifth rank and above have outstanding knowledge and can ensure that the recommended talents can become the pillars of the country. If anyone can recommend them, the country will not be able to succeed!"

Behind Li Si, Lu Wei, the imperial censor, said in a deep voice. He was dressed in black official uniform and had a majestic and solemn face, revealing a touch of coercion.

The eyes of many ministers fell on Qin Wudao, with a bit of joking, wanting to see how the latter would respond.

"I heard a rumor that a minister of the imperial court recommended a young man to be the county magistrate fifty-seven years ago, but in the end he turned out to be an imbecile with no strength and no ability to read."

Qin Wudao asked coldly, looking at Lu Wei with a half-smile.

These words made Lu Wei's face become extremely ugly. The minister Qin Wudao was talking about was himself.

"A minister with outstanding knowledge will not recommend an imbecile, am I right?"

Qin Wudao asked again.

Lu Wei's expression changed again and again, with a hint of blush appearing. He did not refute and returned to his position.

Qin Wudao didn't mention anyone by name, and he had already given him enough face. If he continued to mess around and exposed the incident, I'm afraid his ruling career would be over.

There was just one thing he couldn't figure out: how did Qin Wudao know?

He has already dealt with that matter!

"Your Highness, you said that the civil service examination is easy. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Baili Xi, the official secretary, stepped forward, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked in a deep voice.

He still didn't believe that Qin Wudao, who was young and idle, addicted to cultivation and had never experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, could come up with a systematic method of selecting officials.

"Not to mention, I happen to have a way of selecting officials!"

Qin Wudao said with a smile: "Father, my son and I suggest the imperial examination!"

Imperial examination!

These two words made Emperor Qin and all the officials feel strange and confused.

"What is the imperial examination? It uses examination methods to select talents, including literary and martial arts examinations. All citizens of the Qin Dynasty can take the examination. Those with excellent results can become officials in the court!"

"The exams are divided into four levels, the township exam, the county exam, the county exam, and the palace exam!"

"After passing the township examination, you can take the county examination. Those with excellent results can be assigned to positions in the county, or they can continue to take the county examination until they enter the palace examination, and the father will personally set the questions..."

"In this way, we can not only test the true level of candidates, but also maximize the potential of civilian talents. We will kill two birds with one stone and provide Qin people all over the world with an opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate!"

"The top three in the examination will be the number one, the second in the ranking, and the top three will be able to stay in the imperial court and serve as officials!"

"As for how many people will be admitted later, it will be determined based on actual needs..."

Qin Wudao talked at length, describing an unprecedented talent selection method. The people who listened were mesmerized, even Lu Wei and Baili Xi, who were opposed to the change, were intoxicated.

After talking for several minutes, Qin Wudao stopped.

The main hall was quiet, and everyone was thinking about the pros and cons of the imperial examination system, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't find any loopholes.

I have to admit that the imperial examination system is countless times better than the current method of selecting officials.

"good!"

After a while, Emperor Qin slapped the dragon chair with both hands, shouted with gleaming eyes, and directly ordered: "Send the order, from now on the imperial examination system will be used in the selection of officials in the Qin Dynasty!"

Baili Xi's heart sank slightly, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion. Unless he could tell a system that was better than technology, Emperor Qin could change the order.

"Prince, let's talk about the shortcomings of the education system!"

Emperor Qin calmed down and continued to ask.

"As you command!"

Qin Wudao bowed slightly, then turned around and said: "Education is the foundation for the prosperity of the empire!"

"If Great Qin wants to stand on top of the world, it needs capable ministers to govern the country, powerful warriors, alchemists, weapon refiners, etc. To cultivate elites from all walks of life, education is indispensable!"

"Da Qin only has aristocratic colleges, and countless young people from poor families can only work in the fields. They have the same right to study as we do. Only by making them stronger can Da Qin truly stand up..."

The young man's voice echoed in everyone's ears, deafening, and could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Your Highness, how do you think the education system should be reformed?"

Li Si spoke out and said that from the perspective of national interests, he must pay attention to education.

"Run a school!"

Qin Wudao waved his fist and said: "All cities in the Qin Dynasty must build academies and open civil and military subjects. When they become stronger, they can open elixirs, weapons, formations, music, Taoism and other subjects!"

"In addition, all children over the age of six can go to the academy to study for free, and the expenses incurred during the period will be provided by the state until they reach adulthood..."

"In less than ten years, the Great Qin Empire will undergo earth-shaking changes!"

"Everyone is like a dragon, starting from running a school!"

The officials were silent again, and no one stood up to object. It is true that they care about their own interests, but they also attach great importance to the interests of the country.

Otherwise, the Great Qin Empire would not be able to unify the Eastern Ancient Region.

They also hope that Da Qin will be strong and can stand on top of the world as Qin Wudao said.

The people of Lao Qin all have such ambitions in their hearts.

"We must run a school!"

Emperor Qin stood up, exuding a strong imperial power.

When he was young, he traveled to other realms and saw how powerful the Celestial Dynasty was. Any ordinary citizen could become a general in Da Qin.

If Da Qin wants to be strong, it is an inevitable process to popularize cultivation and make all people become warriors.
