Li Zhao's inner voice appeared again.
"Haha! I was overthinking it, and I almost forgot that Da Qin hadn't invented paper yet, so that's fine! When I have time, I'll study paper. It must be another way to make money."
"Paper is made of vulgar and common things. It is extremely cheap and can be used by students from poor families. It will definitely be very popular."
This is not to say that Li Zhao is boasting. He studied history in his previous life and naturally knew about the four great inventions. Even if he cannot create paper like modern times, the prototype of paper is still possible.
Um! Made of vulgar things and extremely cheap? There is such a thing in the world. If it can be made, it will be a blessing for students!
This kid likes to hide and tuck in, and he is getting better and better at pretending. Anyway, I will blackmail him later to see if he can still pretend. hey-hey!
Hearing Li Zhao's thoughts, Ying Zhengxie smiled strangely.
"Father, please think twice and never implement the imperial examination." Hu Hai knelt down and begged.
The other powerful ministers had a backbone again and knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again."
Ying Zheng had a serious face and was about to scold him when he heard Li Zhao's voice again.
"Think twice, don't think about it, don't you understand? It must be Zhao Gao, the bastard, who instigated Hu Hai to say this. Zhao Gao's move is perfect. If he can really persuade him to withdraw from the imperial examination, his weight in the minds of powerful ministers will definitely increase. A lot of it, then it will be easy for him and Li Sixing to do their treacherous things!"
What?
Ying Zheng was shocked when he heard this and secretly said that it was Zhao Gao who did it. No wonder! No wonder Hu Hai became so smart all of a sudden. It turned out to be Zhao Gao who was causing trouble, but how could Zhao Gao be so rebellious? Could it be that he was just like Li Si, during my eastward patrol...
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the less uneasy he became. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart and rejected Hu Hai's objections.
"It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible to cancel the imperial examination. No one should say anything about it."
ah! This is the final word and no one is allowed to object. This does not seem to be His Majesty’s style! Shouldn't he consult with Sangong before making a decision?
The powerful minister's face changed with shock, and he kept looking at Hu Hai.
Hu Hai didn't know why his father was so determined, and continued to admonish: "Father, the problem of the bamboo scroll classics has not been solved, so you can't do it!"
"Hmph!" Ying Zheng rolled up his sleeves and didn't even look at Hu Hai. "Although this is a problem, it is not something that cannot be solved."
Suddenly, his eyes turned to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao's eyelids twitched, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He quickly retreated, but he still couldn't escape after all!
"Li Zhao, I will leave the bamboo scrolls and classics to you. You must deal with them properly."
ah!
Li Zhao wailed, solving the bamboo scroll classics? Qin Shihuang really liked him. Even if he could make paper, he didn't have the time! What's more, there are too many types of classics, how can he solve them? Qin Shihuang is trying to drag him into trouble!
Also, this is a major matter for the country and he is just a small internal official. How can it be his turn to solve it?
He realized that Qin Shihuang was crazy.
"promise!"
This was the Holy Will, and he couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to.
But what surprised Li Zhao was that at this time, the system's voice sounded: "Trigger the system and reward iron smelting skills. Do you accept it?"
Hearing the sound of the system, Li Zhao was stunned. He could also get rewards. Before, he could only get rewards by being rewarded, but this time there was no reward!
However, he also understands the system. The so-called achievement does not only refer to obtaining some kind of honor or material object. It can also be appreciated or gained reputation.
However, the reward is wrong. At this moment, you shouldn't receive a reward related to the Bamboo Scroll Classics. How could it be iron smelting? Is iron smelting useful to him in completing Qin Shihuang's mission? Maybe not.
What's more, iron smelting technology existed in Da Qin. What was the use of this iron smelting technology? Is it possible that he should be allowed to use iron smelting skills to smelt iron?
Impossible, the production of Da Qin Iron is controlled by the state, and private production is not allowed.
However, something is better than nothing. Maybe one day I will need it, so I will accept it.
"accept!"
Soon, dense information appeared in his mind. To his surprise, this technique also included the method of making an air gun.
air gun? I vaguely remember that in the previous life, air guns were popular in the countryside in the 1990s. At that time, there was no clear protection of animals, so air guns became a good hunting tool for some people, and pheasants, flying birds and the like suffered disaster.
"It seems to be a good thing."
Air guns require no gunpowder and are easy to carry. Coupled with the aiming device, according to the latest air guns in previous generations, prey will not be able to escape within three hundred steps.
It’s a good equipment for hunting!
...
The next day, the emperor's order was urgently issued, and everyone in the world knew about it.
From now on, official education will be abolished, private education will be promoted, and students will be treated well. The imperial examination will be held in three months. Those with excellent results can enter the court and become officials.
Everyone from the rich and powerful to the poor peasants can participate.
For a time, there was a sensation all over the world, and countless students rushed to tell each other, which can be described as joyful.
For a time, students became the trend and their status soared sharply.
For a time, private schools sprang up, especially in Xianyang, which was prosperous.
After hearing the news, Li Zhao was stunned for several days.
If he remembered correctly, the imperial examination should not have sprouted until the Han Dynasty, but why did it appear now? Were you still surprised when this word appeared in the court meeting earlier? But I didn’t know it was implemented in this way.
Moreover, there was no imperial examination in the history of Qin Dynasty. Did his rebirth cause history to change? Li Zhao felt terrified. If history really changed because of his rebirth, then in the future...he would not even dare to think about it.
But he gave up soon! What ability does he have to change history? Perhaps the imperial examination appeared in the Qin Dynasty, but there is no record in the history books.
Li Zhao thought about this possibility and ignored it.
"Wait, can I also take the imperial examination?" He suddenly came up with this idea, but quickly gave it up. The Qin Dynasty was about to fall, and he couldn't avoid it. Taking part in the imperial examination was simply courting death.
...
In Peixian County, a young man dressed as a scholar stopped under a bridge and looked back at his long gone hometown with perseverance in his eyes.
He was Xiao He. After hearing about the imperial examination, he immediately resigned from his position as an official and resolutely chose to go to Xianyang. He wanted to study privately and prepare for the imperial examination.
Peixian County does not belong to him, Xianyang is his world.
He Xiao He has great ambitions and wants to achieve a great cause.
Soon, I arrived in Xianyang, only to find that I had no relatives. I suddenly remembered that I had received a letter from my uncle some time ago, saying that he was living in Chang'an Township and was the steward of Li Mansion in Chang'an Township.
"I haven't seen you for many years, it's time to visit my uncle!"
Besides, Li Si was called back by Li Si and gave stern instructions to keep a close eye on Chang'an Township and report any situation immediately. Li Si didn't know why, but after asking around, he found out that the old man was tricked by Li Zhao, and his wife was also tricked by Li Zhao and was exiled.
What a cruel person!
He secretly made up his mind to avenge his wife and ruin Li Zhao's reputation.
He needs to know everything about Chang'an Township, including the people inside and outsiders, so that he can better dig out more about Li Zhao.
Moreover, he would also look for any opportunity to discredit Li Zhao.
When he just returned to the station where he had inquired earlier, he saw a scholar coming towards him.
