Time flies like a shuttle.
A month has passed since Ye Qingqiu came into contact with ear picking, hair washing and massage.
During this month,
It can be said that Ye Qingqiu has never been absent for a day.
Ear picking, hair washing, massage, shopping, and even once, Ye Qingqiu went to a bar to get drunk, and then completely let himself go in the music.
after that,
Ye Qingqiu was just like a boy falling into the sage mode after practicing traditional skills, constantly questioning himself in his heart.
Why should you surrender yourself?
Why can't I control my behavior?
But,
On the second day,
Ye Qingqiu continued to repeat.
Go enjoy life during the day, come back at night to blame yourself, and secretly swear that this will definitely be the last time.
Then at night,
I started to blame myself again, I shouldn't have fallen so low.
At the back,
Ye Qingqiu even started to show off.
According to her words,
Even now, he has no chance to raise an army.
In that case why not enjoy life.
When something unexpected happens in Qi,
It’s not too late to start planning yourself.
Ever since,
Ye Qingqiu just fell into it day after day.
over time,
this day,
There is news from the south.
After resisting for several months, the Yue Kingdom finally had to surrender as the city of Kuaiji ran out of ammunition and food.
With the fall of Kuaiji,
It also announced the demise of the Yue Kingdom.
So far,
Qi State completed the unification from north to south and along the East China Sea!
From north to south, up and down, the country stretches for more than three thousand miles.
While annexing the country of Yue, Han Lin immediately issued an edict that the original counties of Wu and Yue would not be changed and the status quo would still be maintained.
But the original currency will be abolished
All changed to Qi Guo’s new currency.
Including words and weights and measures, everything is unified.
besides,
He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to continue to recruit civilian men and request the construction of an official road running from north to south.
If it is completed,
In addition to strengthening the connection between the north and the south, if there is a war on either side, the army can rush to support along the official road as soon as possible.
These are actually just the basic framework.
If divided carefully,
Almost all aspects, including commerce, agriculture, military, people's livelihood, etc., were changed according to Qi's original model.
Of course,
Among them, the one with the greatest repercussions was undoubtedly the imperial examination.
Because except for Qi State, the imperial examinations in all countries in the world still test the Four Books and Five Classics.
But now Qi State, after Han Lin's troubles.
It has been changed to examine science, martial arts and miscellaneous subjects.
The Four Books and Five Classics are currently only used as enlightenment education, mainly used to educate children's ideological and moral aspects.
At the back,
It became science and liberal arts, that is, miscellaneous studies.
As for martial arts, you need to enter a specialized military school.
If you have excellent grades, you can join the army directly after graduation, starting as a junior officer.
When Han Lin promulgated this method, it can be said that it caused a storm in Qi State.
The ignored scholars scolded Han Lin for being fatuous.
There are even countless urbanites who have gone to neighboring countries.
As a result now,
With the fall of Wu and Yue,
This method naturally fell on the heads of students from Wu and Yue.
This made them anxious.
Could it be that the Four Books and Five Classics that I studied so hard in the first half of my life are now invalid?
in,
In fact, there are many unlucky ones.
These people were originally Qi people.
Later, because he couldn't stand the reform of the imperial examination system, he went to Wu or Yue.
The results are good now,
They became together again.
Wang Fangrui is one of the unlucky ones.
Born in Donghai County of Qi State, he was admitted as a boy student at the age of thirteen and as a scholar at the age of twenty-one.
At that time, he thought that he would definitely be able to succeed in high school, reach the pinnacle of his life, and marry Bai Fumei.
A bolt from the blue fell.
The Four Books and Five Classics were abolished.
From then on, the imperial examination no longer tested the Four Books and Five Classics.
While the martial arts examinations were restarted, the imperial examinations focused on science and miscellaneous subjects.
This kind of thing, which in his eyes was nothing more than a strange skill, had never been noticed by Wang Fangrui.
result,
With the reform of the imperial examination system, all the hard work and hard work in the first half of my life was in vain.
Although many friends around me have chosen to compromise or decide to change careers.
But Wang Fangrui was unwilling to give in.
I am only in my early twenties. If things are normal, I have a great chance of passing the examination in the future.
He was about to stand out, but now Han Lin did this to him.
So in a fit of anger,
Wang Fangrui said goodbye to his family,
He left Qi State alone.
Even before leaving, he swore to his family that within ten years he would pass the exam and return to his hometown with honor and wealth, and then take them out to enjoy the glory and wealth.
As for the result...
After arriving in the state of Wu, I had not yet taken part in the imperial examination.
The exams were stopped because of the war.
Now three years have passed by.
Wang Fangrui didn't even take part in the imperial examination, not to mention passing the imperial examination, and even the state of Wu was completely wiped out.
If it’s gone, it’s gone.
Among all the countries in the world, there are many who have been destroyed.
For ordinary people, it is nothing more than changing the emperor, and they can live their lives as they should.
But,
It's different for Wang Fangrui.
At first, I felt a little bit lucky.
There is absolutely no way Han Lin would move the imperial examination system to the Wuyue area.
After all, this kind of thing is simply devastating to scholars. One bad thing will cause abuse and accusations from students all over the world.
Ordinary kings worry about this.
The emperors of some countries did not even dare to hit scholars.
Because once beaten, he will be labeled as a tyrant. At the same time, the scholar who was beaten will be proud of it and show off.
But,
Han Lin doesn't accept this.
You can scold me as you please.
Can I use less meat?
The reason why there was no movement in Wu State before was that Han Lin was waiting to reform this area together after destroying Yue State.
No,
With the fall of Yue.
All measures were taken on target.
Moreover, Guan Zhong also sent a large number of officials from Linzi to serve in the land of Wuyue.
At this moment,
Looking at the notice in front of me,
Wang Fangrui's face was ashen as death.
coming!
Sure enough, it was still reformed.
Is my path to the imperial examination really cut off?
"No!"
"I can not be reconciled!"
"I, Wang Fangrui, have read the books of saints and sages. Didn't I spend ten years of hard work just to gain fame? Han Lin, you are such a foolish king. If you cut off our path, you will be punished by God!"
After cursing Han Lin fiercely in his heart,
Wang Fangrui gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, deciding to moisturize.
Since there is no imperial examination here, I will find another place.
Chu State seems to be a very good choice.
First, the country is strong.
Thousands of miles of fertile soil, millions of armors!
Looking at the world, it is also a country standing on the ceiling.
at the same time,
This powerful country is very tolerant.
They don't care about their origins, they are all meritocracy.
As long as you can get the honors, you will definitely be able to get ahead in the Chu Kingdom!
"Mother, brother, don't worry."
"I will definitely make a difference, and when the time comes, I will return to my hometown with glory and honor my ancestors!"
...
People like Wang Fangrui,
In fact, there are not a few.
When they saw that the land of Wuyue was not immune, they either gave up resistance and chose to obey, or, like Wang Fangrui, they chose other ways out.
but,
After all, as experienced people, they have already experienced it once.
But for the locals in the Wu and Yue countries, this was unbearable.
The day after the notice was released,
Countless scholars took to the streets, calling Han Lin a foolish king and demanding that Han Lin revoke the edict.
There were even some people who shamelessly demanded that Han Lin issue an edict to punish himself!
Apologize to the people of the world!
