Li Si saw far away!
Moreover, he had communicated with Ying Shu a long time ago when he mentioned the construction of Shanglin Academy.
At that time, he was shocked by Yingshu's ambition to bring grammar under the control of the empire. This was something that no one had ever done in history.
Obviously, starting from Shanglin New City, Yingshu had already begun its layout and then gradually improved it.
Shanglin Academy!
The book has the same text, elegant language, and then implements the national examination!
All these are gradually disintegrating the influence of the surviving families of the six countries, as well as the old families and hundreds of schools of thought, thus making the empire's rule more profound.
Thinking about the lightning in his mind, Li Si said in a deep voice, "However, the implementation of the national examination is not something that happens overnight. All the major counties in the empire are far away from Xianyang!"
“Especially Nanzhou!”
"The empire must give these scholars time to rush from various counties to Xianyang. Moreover, this process will cost a lot of money along the way."
"I believe that the empire should reduce or reduce these expenses!"
"And provide free accommodation in guest houses along the way, so that they can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain!"
........
Li Si is also a scholar.
He naturally knows how much suffering there is for those who have never seen their talents, and those who have read poetry and books but have been wasting their time.
Now that the opportunity has come, he also wants to be an umbrella holder.
After a long time, seeing Li Si stop talking, Wei Liao pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, since we are holding a national examination, are there any restrictions on the content and requirements of the examination?"
"Who can participate? Or only grammarians can participate..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the First Emperor, especially the generals Wang Jian and Wei Liao. They were military generals, so they naturally took this matter very seriously.
After taking a sip of tea, the First Emperor was silent for a moment and said: "Since it is a national examination, then there will be a literary examination and a martial arts examination!"
"However, the martial arts scholars will not join the Great Qin Ruins for the time being. Instead, they will join the soon-to-be-established armed Sikou force, which will be temporarily controlled by Lord Min!"
........
As soon as these words came out, Zhangtai Palace became quiet.
It's not that they were surprised by the Emperor's indulgence in winning skills, but that they could only remain silent. The Emperor didn't want to let go of the talented people, but the great Qin warriors were the foundation of the empire.
For these martial arts scholars!
Even the First Emperor did not dare to let him enter the army. He could only incorporate him into the armed army and let Yingshu personally select and screen him.
This is tantamount to packaging the trouble into winning skills.
"Since all your beloved ministers agree, Zhao Gao will prepare an edict!" The First Emperor looked around and then said to Zhao Gao.
"promise!"
Seeing that Zhao Gao was ready, the First Emperor said in a deep voice, "The Emperor of the Qin Empire has written: The empire will hold a national examination. All scholars of the empire who have not participated in rebellion, anti-Qin and other activities can participate!"
"The scholar will go to the local county government in person to sign up, and then the imperial court will check it. Once the scholar receives the notice, preparations will begin!"
"The first national examination of the Great Qin Empire will be held in Xianyang. The specific time will be July next year!"
...........
The First Emperor knew in his heart that Ying Shu was for the sake of the empire, and he had to cooperate with Ying Shu.
Only in this way can the empire further win over scholars. Although the academy is already under construction, within the next twenty years, the empire will also need scholars.
Sometimes the empire has to compromise.
The world cannot be governed by the elites of Great Qin alone.
.......
After writing the same text, the empire continued to promulgate the same track of cars, the same track of travel, unified weights and measures, and the transmission of various edicts and orders, which plunged the empire into a period of dullness and depression.
However, due to the deterrence of the Qin warriors and the unparalleled prestige of the First Emperor, they did not dare to act recklessly.
Now, the empire once again issued an edict and held the national examination, which excited the scholars all over the world. They all knew that this was their opportunity.
Especially those from poor families.
Especially the scholar class!
It can be said that Yingshu's written advice and the First Emperor's edict completely separated hundreds of schools of thought, old families and noble families at once.
Except for the old family members, both the gentry and various schools of thought were very excited because they knew that this was their opportunity.
With the edict to hold the national examination, the resentment accumulated in the previous book and the establishment of the academy suddenly dissipated.
There are only countless old people running around!
They all clearly realized that the sky had changed!
........
In the Moling camp.
Ying Shu looked at the edict and couldn't help but laugh.
He had to admit that even though they were thousands of miles apart and there was no communication between the First Emperor and him, the decision made by the First Emperor was almost the same as what he had in mind.
"As long as the empire succeeds in the national examination, even if the empire cannot be recognized by the two major cultural circles, it will no longer be independent after all!"
Ying Shu looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Great Qin has finally been changed!"
At this moment, Yingshu was even more concerned about the Sikou General Administration. He knew in his heart that the Sikou General Administration was crucial if he wanted to complete this national examination.
Moreover, it can be seen from the edict that the First Emperor not only wanted to hold a literary test, but also a martial arts test.
The scholars who took the martial arts examination were given priority to enter the armed Sikou troops, which meant that the First Emperor agreed to form and assemble the Sikou troops no matter what his considerations were.
The First Emperor agreed.
The smile on Ying Shu's face disappeared. He knew in his heart that the empire's finances were limited, and the empire's finances would give priority to civil affairs.
River dredging, river embankment repair, road construction, and various other things related to people's livelihood.
Regarding this matter, Yingshu is also clear. Once the armed division force is established, the empire will not be able to spend much money to support it.
This means that he must either raise money to support himself or suppress scale and establishment.
Thinking of this, Ying Shu couldn't help but feel a little headache. The key was that he still needed to keep an eye on Shanglin Academy and the Hidden Palace.
"Now, Shanglin New City has begun to make a profit. Although it will take several years to earn back the investment, at least there is no need to continue investing now!"
"As for the Hidden Palace, today's Hidden Palace is making money every day..."
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Ying Shu couldn't help but smile helplessly. He knew in his heart that the First Emperor was eyeing the money and food of the Hidden Palace.
It's not that he is reluctant to part with money and food.
It's because he established the armed division force and then provided the money and food, so it was easy to form a private army.
After all, his status in the Great Qin Empire was somewhat special and embarrassing, and Nanzhou was still under his control.
At this moment, all expenses in Nanzhou come from funds allocated by Nanzhou Trading Company and the Hidden Palace.
This means that the winning strategy at this moment requires territory and territory, money and food, and next, it can be said that it requires an army and an army...
Even if the First Emperor doesn't worry about him!
However, Yingshu felt somewhat uneasy...
