My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Listening to Ying Chengjiao's words, some court officials even felt a little chilly.

Ying Zheng, Wei Zhuang and other monarchs and ministers who supported the great unification were breathing rapidly.

Lu Buwei couldn't help but murmured: "Select scholars by imperial examination! Select scholars by imperial examination!"

"I thought that Chang'an Jun advised the selection of scholars by imperial examination to alleviate the shortage of officials in my Great Qin."

"Then I learned that Chang'an Jun advised the selection of scholars by imperial examination to target the powerful and powerful in Guandong."

"Yes! Today I just learned that when Chang'an Jun advised the selection of scholars by imperial examination, he was paving the way for the great unification!"

"And the great unification that Chang'an Jun wants is not only the same writing, the same wheel gauge, and the same ethics, but also the same thoughts!"

"Those who are willing to follow my Great Qin's thoughts can get high positions and generous salaries, and those who are unwilling to believe in my Great Qin's thoughts can only become common people."

"Bright! Big bright!"

Thoughts are a person's strongest armor, but thoughts are also a person's softest weakness.

Even if the people of the old Qi hate the ideas and laws of the Qin Dynasty, what does it matter?

The desire for the position of an official will naturally make them endure their disgust and study hard.

After a few years, more than ten years, or even decades of study, will his thoughts really not be changed by the ideas of the Qin Dynasty?

The imperial examination will judge them.

Those who are not changed are not worthy of being officials of the Qin Dynasty!

And those who do not get power will become powerless commoners in a few generations, which is nothing to the Qin Dynasty!

Wei Zhuang also said with a slightly flushed face: "Compared with the same writing and same ethics forced by the court laws, this advice from Chang'an Jun is the right way to unify the world!"

"This move is not only applicable to the old Qi, but also to the people of the world!"

"The papers of the imperial examinations have only one kind of writing!"

"Those who are unwilling to follow the same writing cannot be officials of the Qin Dynasty!"

Many scholars in Guandong studied for many years and paid a lot of money before they finally learned a kind of writing and became scholars.

If the Qin Dynasty enforces the unified writing system by law, they will become semi-illiterate again overnight, and their years of hard work will go to waste. How can the scholars in Guandong not be angry!

But if the court only tempts them with official positions in the imperial examinations, and never issues mandatory laws, what can the scholars in Guandong say?

Don't accept Qin seals? Then you don't participate in the imperial examinations, and don't come to the Qin Dynasty to be an official. No one forces you to be an official!

In this case, if the scholars in Guandong still resist fiercely, it can only mean that they want to come to the Qin Dynasty to be officials and eat the food of the Qin Dynasty, but they don't want to abide by the rules of the Qin Dynasty and want to smash the pot of the Qin Dynasty!

Not to mention the Qin Dynasty, even the people of the world will look down on such actions and will denounce the Qin Dynasty!

And when the general trend takes shape and most of the scholars in Guandong have spontaneously learned Qin seals, the unified writing system will no longer affect the vital interests of most of the scholars in Guandong. If the court requires the unified writing system with a decree, the obstacles to this decree will definitely be much smaller!

Ying Chengjiao chuckled and said, "It's more than that."

Wei Zhuang exclaimed in surprise, "It's more than that?!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "In the past, the people of Qi walked around with swords and liked to make statements. The important purpose was to attract the attention of the powerful and then be accepted by the powerful and introduced into the government office."

"If our Great Qin cuts off the way of recommendation and only promotes officials in Qi by selecting scholars, then the people of Qi will gain a good reputation. It's useless!"

"There will be more and more people in Qi who will go out less and show less loyalty, but will stay at home and study hard!"

"In this way, there will be less unrest."

In Ying Chengjiao's view, most folk customs can be traced back to one root: seek benefits and avoid harm!

Hate farming to avoid the harm of plunder and exploitation by the powerful, old and young all wear swords to avoid the harm of wild beasts, and hone martial arts, be chivalrous, and yearn for celebrities to get the benefits of being recommended as an official!

When the Qin Dynasty cut off the road of recommending officials and opened up the road of selecting officials through imperial examinations, the customs of the ancient Qi area will change spontaneously in line with the new interests.

At that time, there will no longer be so many chivalrous young men on the streets of the ancient Qi area.

There will be an endless army of candidates in the streets of the ancient Qi area!

Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "With tens of thousands of official positions as an inducement, I don't believe that the people of the ancient Qi area will not be tempted! The people of the ancient Qi area will not be stable!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but applaud: "Love!"

"Love!"

"Great luck!"

Which ruler doesn't want stability under his rule?

Ying Zheng is no exception.

Chivalrous and brave people are not liked by the rulers of any unified country. Stability and stability are the pursuit of the rulers.

Ying Zheng never expected that the strategy of selecting officials through imperial examinations proposed by Ying Chengjiao in the past would be so useful for maintaining stability!

Wei Zhuang even bowed to Ying Chengjiao and shouted sincerely: "This policy of Chang'an Jun is indeed a policy for the country!"

Lü Buwei said with a little concern: "This policy of Chang'an Jun is indeed a good policy!"

"But if our Great Qin really opens the imperial examination exclusively for the old Qi area, and even selects almost all the local middle and grassroots officials, I am afraid that in the future, the government offices in the old Qi area will all be the sons of the powerful and wealthy in the old Qi area, or even all the sons of the Tian family in the old Qi area."

"In this way, won't it help the people of the old Qi area to regain control of the old Qi area?"

Lü Buwei's worries are not groundless.

The current Great Qin has experienced three imperial examinations. Most of those who are willing to be used by Qin and have outstanding abilities in the Great Qin have been admitted to the system. The rest are either unwilling to be used by Qin, or they are not talented enough and have failed the exams repeatedly.

However, the powerful and powerful people in Guqi not only numbered more than 100,000, but most of them were literate and well-read poetry since childhood. Some of them even held high positions in Guqi and had rich experience in governing.

How can those candidates who have repeatedly failed compare with them? Feng Quji tentatively said: "Although the examination is the most important thing among the civil servants, the final decision depends on the king's will."

"I think that the king may give preferential treatment to the candidates from other places and harsh treatment to the children of the common people in the old Qi, in order to balance the number of officials in the old Qi and prevent the old Qi Tian family from doing what the Na Tian family did on the Qi's behalf again!"

Lu Buwei frowned and shook his head: "The world can judge for itself the depth of talent."

"The reason why the imperial examinations are able to attract more and more unofficial civil servants to participate is because the world knows that the imperial examinations in Great Qin are fair and impartial, and it is the best way for wild talents to enter the dynasty."

"If you destroy the fairness of the imperial examinations just for the sake of one thing, you are actually putting the cart before the horse!"

Ying Chengyu nodded in agreement and said, "I believe that what Marquis Wenxin said is true!"

"The civil service examination must be fair, just and open. At least the people in the world should think that this is a fair, just and open way of promotion."

"Don't say it's just for one reason, but for the entire Guandong region, I, the Qin Dynasty, can't let the imperial examination become unfair!"

Lu Buwei's eyes showed a bit of weirdness. He turned to look at Ying Chengyu and asked tentatively: "Did Chang'an Lord have already anticipated this disadvantage?"

It's not surprising that Lu Buwei had such an idea, it was because Ying Chengyu refused too simply.

Now that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan have not disclosed to the outside world that the imperial examinations will become the main way to promote talents in Daqin in the future, it seems strange that Ying Chengxuan is so determined.

Without giving Lu Buwei a chance to think about it, Ying Chengyu asked instead, "If I were to compile the examination papers for the imperial examinations this time, I have one question."

"Is it possible for Qi to recover?"

All the ministers laughed: "Our Qin Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, so how can Qi have any chance of restoring the country!"

"Chang'an Jun has asked all the descendants of the Qi royal family, but no one wants to be the king of Qi. Therefore, the Qi royal family themselves do not dare to restore the country. So how can Qi restore the country?"

"This question may make the candidates laugh!"

How could such a simple question be included in the examination papers for civil servants? !

Ying Chengyu asked again: "Is there any country today that can win the favor of heaven and earth and inherit the great rule of heaven and earth, so that it will definitely be able to unify the world and govern the people on behalf of Zhou?"

The ministers laughed again: "It's me, Great Qin!"

This question is simpler than the previous one!

Ying Chengyu continued to ask without changing his expression: "The third question is, if Qin is weak and Qi has an opportunity to take advantage of it, describe in detail the strategy to help Qi recover, and list the people who have the opportunity to raise the flag to restore Qi and who may help Qi recover."

Hearing this question, the smiles of the officials froze on their faces, and their eyes showed deep astonishment.

By the way, Chang'an Jun is the examiner for the first time to sort out the imperial examinations. He knows the best about sorting out the imperial examinations. How could he ask such a simple question!

Feng Quji praised with emotion: "The three questions of Chang'an Lord are to screen the people who are committed to the Qin Dynasty."

"If the answers of the people of Qi are not in line with the wishes of Da Qin, if they do not think that Da Qin is the country that can inherit the unification of the world, and are unwilling to submit a list of those who are willing and able to restore Qi, they will naturally not be able to pass this test and will not be able to do anything for Da Qin. Officials."

"If the answer of the people of the old Qi people is in line with the wishes of our great Qin, then this person has determined that our great Qin is the country that inherits the destiny of heaven. He has betrayed the people of the old Qi and can only be used by my great Qin in the future!"

"What's more important is that even if the people of the world look at this problem, they will at most think that our country, Great Qin, is too proud, and cannot accuse me of Great Qin's treating the children of the old Qi people differently."

"Compared to the king's harsh treatment of the powerful children of Qi, Chang'an Lord's policy is the best policy!"

"It's just that I also have a question."

Feng Quji said slightly worriedly: "If someone with evil intentions and shamelessness answers against his will, and lists people with old grievances instead of people who are really interested in restoring the Qin Dynasty, he will eventually get the official position of our Great Qin." ”

"These people may also be the source of the turmoil in Qi!"

Before Ying Chengxuan could answer, Meng Wu had already replied in a deep voice: "Such people may become famous elsewhere, but in their hometown of Qi, they will only be reviled by the common people of Li!"

"Therefore, the people of Qi can be unfaithful, filial, and benevolent, but they cannot be unjust and courageous!"

"In the past, two warriors of the Qi Kingdom drank wine but had no meat. One of them said: Son, meat! I, meat!"

"The two warriors cut off each other's flesh and served it with pickles and wine until both of them died!"

"This matter is a beautiful talk about the old Qi land."

"Only those who are trustworthy, righteous, and courageous can win the hearts of the people of Guqi. If they are trustworthy, righteous, and brave like the Lord of Chang'an, they can win the hearts of the people of Guqi even if they are not from Guqi."

"But if one lacks trust, is righteous, and lacks courage, even the most noble people will be reviled by all the people."

"If the children of the common people of Qi answer the test papers that meet the requirements of our country, the common people of Qi will only consider it as betrayal."

"But if the children of the common people of the old Qi rebel against the great Qin after answering the test papers that meet the requirements of the great Qin, they will be regarded as untrustworthy and unrighteous by all the people of the old Qi, and no one will want to get close to them anymore!"

If the answer is not what you think, this is a lack of faith!

He once betrayed his tribe to seek refuge with Da Qin, and later betrayed Da Qin to seek refuge with his tribe. This is enough to show that this person's betrayal was not for grand ambitions, but simply for the sake of profit-oriented injustice!

Such people don't need Da Qin to take action, so Qi Wanmin will let them understand what social death means - being forced to die by the whole society!

Meng Wu looked at Ying Chengjiao in surprise and said, "Chang'an Jun just said that he knew a lot about the old Qi, but I didn't take it seriously."

"I really didn't expect that Chang'an Jun's understanding of the old Qi was so profound."

"Every strategy is aimed at the throat of the old Qi!"
