Not long after the end of the court meeting, the imperial court issued a notice abolishing the imperial examination system, and as soon as the announcement came out, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, some people were happy and some were sad, and there were even some scholars who insulted the court in front of the public, and some scholars were directly stunned.

For these scholars, the abolition of the imperial examination system was like killing their parents in front of them, and they read poetry and books for most of their lives, day after day, year after year, just to be able to one day be named on the gold list and gain fame.

This is also the motivation for them to persevere, but now, the imperial court has abolished the imperial examination system, making their efforts for more than ten years or even decades in vain, and there is no hope at all, everything is in ashes!

With the advent of a new era, there will be many victims with the fall of the old era, and these scholars who study hard are the victims of the imperial examination system and the stepping stone of the school system, which is an inevitable trend, and no one can resist!

Even if you resist desperately, it is just a mantis arm blocking the car and becoming a white bone under the general trend!

With the passage of time, the announcement of the abolition of the imperial examination system by the imperial court swept the whole country, setting off a shocking wave in the civil and even officialdom, and the last group of officials who passed the imperial examination felt extremely lucky, and wrote thank you to their parents overnight, thanking their parents for giving birth to themselves in time, otherwise, they are one of those who seek death and life!

The abolition of the imperial examination system by the Great Qin Imperial Court not only affected the scholars of the Great Qin, but also the scholars of the Great Qi Empire, the Zhongshan Kingdom, the Great Zhao Empire, and the Great Yan Empire, especially the scholars of the Great Zhao Empire, who were very afraid that their own imperial court would also learn from the Great Qin Imperial Court to abolish the imperial examination system.

After all, the regulatory system of the Great Zhao Empire is to learn from the Great Qin Empire, and no one can guarantee whether the Great Zhao Empire will continue to follow the Great Qin Empire.

In the new year, the Great Qin Imperial Court not only abolished the imperial examination system, but also mobilized the reserve battalions in various places on a large scale, retired soldiers, and in less than a month, the Beijing Division Battalion had 560,000 troops, which was twice the population of Salted Fish City.

When the generals of Great Qin saw the imperial court transfer the reserve camp, they knew that His Majesty was ready to expand the army, and this news was undoubtedly a great news for the generals, but it was undoubtedly a huge pressure and threat to the surrounding countries!

The Great Qin Empire was already powerful, and now it is expanding its army on a large scale, I am afraid that in the whole world, only the Great Wei Empire can compete with the Great Qin Empire!

On the first day of February in the twenty-first year of Saint Qin, the time of Chen!

Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!

In the Qilin Palace, a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, black hair like ink, and a handsome face sat on the high dragon chair, he was wearing a black tunic dragon robe, the dragon robe was restrained by the black dragon belt, and a luxurious black mink fur cloak was draped behind the shoulders, a sword engraved with dragon patterns and phoenix patterns hung on the left waist, a black pattern sachet and a round dragon pattern jade pendant were hung on the right waist, and the feet were wearing luxurious black bronzing dragon pattern boots, and the dragon-shaped black jade crown was worn on his head.

Under the high platform, the ministers of civil and military affairs dressed in black court clothes stood meticulously on the left and right sides, each minister had a solemn expression, looking ahead with a smile, I don't know how long it took, the young man on the high platform opened his thin lips and made a voice that was not angry and arrogant, "After the abolition of the imperial examination system, did anyone make trouble?" ”

A simple question, but it is full of imperial majesty, which makes people dare not give birth to a disobedient heart!

Zhang Feizi, the prime minister of Zuo, stepped forward and took a small step, and bent down to make a report with a look of awe on his face: "Your Majesty, after the abolition of the imperial examination system in our dynasty, many scholars gathered in front of the government to make trouble, asking the imperial court to retract the announcement of the abolition of the imperial examination system!" ”

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, walked down the high platform with unhurried steps, came to the center of the main hall, looked at the sky outside the hall with an expressionless face and said: "The abolition of the imperial examination system is the trend of the times, it has existed for thousands of years, it should disappear, and those scholars are the victims of the imperial examination system!" ”

"I am not a cold-blooded person, and I am very sympathetic, but I am powerless, I can only watch them give up on themselves, seeking death and life, I can't fight against the general trend for them, I know, you will definitely think that this general trend is caused by me, if it were not for my implementation of the academy system, there would not be today's scene!"

"In this regard, what I want to say is that if I do not implement the school system, one day, there will be people who will implement the school system, and if I do not abolish the imperial examination system, there will eventually be people who abolish the imperial examination system, what is the general trend? That's the trend! ”

Ying Chang is also very helpless about the scholars from all over the country looking for death and life, he thought about supplementing it, but he knows where to start and seal them as an official and a half-post? There are at least 100,000 scholars in the country, how many official positions does the imperial court have to entitle? Give some silver compensation? What will those scholars who think of themselves as high as they want?

If the court shows weakness, these scholars will be even more excessive, and when the time comes, it is better to be ruthless, regardless of these scholars, whether they commit suicide or self-harm, they will naturally stop.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that all those scholars who make trouble be imprisoned in the prison!" Shang Shulei of the Criminal Department said with a solemn expression.

"Haha!" Ying Chang chuckled, "The court does not take advantage of reason, and punishing them, not only will not extinguish the anger of the scholars, but will add a handful of dry wood to their anger, and the more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes, the court doesn't have to care about anything, they want to make trouble, whatever they want, don't worry about jumping into the river or self-immolation!" ”

The civil and military officials were silent.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" Chang Zifei saluted respectfully.

Ying Chang walked up to Chang Zifei and asked indifferently, "Is it about the budget?" ”

Chang Zifei nodded, then took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Chang, Ying Chang took the fold and unfolded it to take a look, the content of the fold was almost the same as the content of the last time, but because of the expansion of the city, the migration of population, and the expansion of the army, a lot of budgets were added.

The original budget was 59,080,000 taels of silver and 23,000,000,000 taels of grain, but this time the budget was 110,000,000,000 taels of silver and 30,000,000,000 stones.

After reading the latest budget folds, Ying Chang put the folds together and returned them to Chang Zifei, and said loudly: "According to the budget on the folds, let the household allocate funds!" ”

"Obey the order!" Chang Zifei respectfully raised his hand and responded!

PS: "Order it all!" ”
