Daqin Chang'an City, the imperial study

"Your Majesty, good news is frequent, and it is indeed God bless Daqin!" Yingyi took the lead in flattering, and everyone naturally followed suit.

Qin Zheng nodded with a smile on his face, raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then said: "What the prime minister said is right, it seems that God is still taking care of us."

However, we can't be too careless, I have already handed over the issue of sealing the Khan and demarcating the land of the Tumut Department in the north to Wang Li, but the matter of sending tokens and food, and bringing back hostages will be handed over to you.

As for the matter of reassuring the people in the west and south, I hope that the Revolutionary Committee will send two representatives to deal with it there, and you will recommend it.

As for the prince of the so-called Great Xia Kingdom in the west, bring him back first, and then I will interrogate him myself. ”

In fact, Qin Zheng didn't say that they would do these things, but Qin Zheng was now a little worried that the mentality of the important ministers would be a little proud, which was not conducive to the development of the future situation.

"Hey!" Everyone agreed.

At this time, Zhang Cang suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are still a large number of grassroots officials on three sides, I'm afraid we can make a good plan, but we can't find enough people to implement it."

Moreover, the winter is coming to an end, and the military control on the side of the Hedong Governor's Office will be gradually relaxed, and the remaining Korean prefectures and counties are also facing a shortage of grassroots officials. ”

Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed, it was true that Daqin had won all this paragraph, but the stall was also spreading too fast, how could he not change so many people.

After all, Great Qin is a teacher with officials as teachers, and the most basic officials also have to master the ability to read and write, so Qin Zheng wanted to roll out education very early.

But it is the aristocratic officials who have the ability to teach, they have already arranged it out, and there is no surplus at all, so they can't let Hu Hai and these half-grown children go, right?

Qin Zheng frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Aren't there many relics and aristocratic youths of the Six Kingdoms in Guanzhong?" Tell them that if they want to be officials, they will all go to the countryside to eradicate illiteracy! ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this, they didn't know what literacy was, Zhang Cang could only ask stubbornly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about literacy?" ”

Qin Zheng thought for a while: "It is to let them pick the farmer's leisure time to teach Shiwu, and then let Shiwu teach Qianshou again." ”

In fact, before Qin Zheng said this, Zhao Gao and others had already selected many people from among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the old Qin nobles to temporarily supplement the bureaucracy.

Although the ability is very average, it barely solves the problem of domestic demand, but Qin Zheng not only does not plan to promote these people in the face of a bigger gap, but wants to drive them to the countryside to educate the peasants?

At this time, even Zhang Cang and Zhao Gao, the two smartest courtiers of Great Qin, couldn't understand it, but Zhang Cang didn't speak again for a while.

Qin Zheng watched everyone's faces change drastically, and then explained: "Don't think that I am doing what is lacking and making up for the useless work, in fact, I mean to let more people participate in the management of the grassroots level, and then free up manpower to go to the frontier."

While studying, he will be assessed as an official, and then those who perform well can move to the frontier with their families, and I will give him three times the land, three years of tax exemption, and two years of military service! ”

Qin Zheng has made a bloody investment now, since he can't wait for promotions and recommendations from all over the country, he can only catch ducks on the shelves, and after making up for his reading and writing skills, he will be pressed to the post.

Yingyi frowned, and his head was tattooed into a three, he was the head of the clan and the representative of the interests of the nobles, and now Qin Zheng obviously wanted to attack the old nobles.

Although Qin Zheng's method has the meaning of tempering, I am afraid that many people will not buy it, and they are naturally not afraid of openly opposing Qin Zheng, what they are afraid of is that Yang Feng Yin is violated.

Great Qin has been passed to the thirty-seventh generation of Ying Zhengdu, and it has always been a blow to the old nobles when changing the law.

So Yingyi hurriedly stepped forward to plead, but before he could speak, Qin Zheng spoke again: "General Wang Li on the front line also mentioned another method of selecting talents, that is, the imperial examination that was common in the previous dynasty.

I looked at his suggestion and felt that it could be implemented, and that by midsummer I would have produced a paper that consisted mainly of reading and writing, arithmetic, law, and experience.

At that time, all the grassroots officials will have to take the exam, and I will find out the bureaucrats of the whole country like the school palace, and those nobles who go to the countryside to teach will have extra points, and the higher the illiteracy rate in the responsible area, the more points. ”

"And your majesty, what about their job?" Yingyi hurriedly asked, intending to ask Qin Zhengsong to let go.

But Qin Zheng didn't mean to be partial at all, and said directly: "The official's original political achievements and promotions are very good, and they will not be canceled."

As for how to complete the literacy task in their own area while ensuring the quality of work, it is their own business, and I have no control. ”

Qin Zhengdu said so, Yingyi didn't dare to touch the nails, so he could only let the little ones of each family ask for more blessings.

At this time, Qin Zheng suddenly commanded on a whim: "In addition, Zhang Yushi went to find the encyclopedia, find out the knowledge related to production and life, and let you learn those half-grown children in the palace, take turns to go to the market and preach to the people." ”

Zhang Cang was a little upset when he heard it, he knew best about the children under him, all of them were the children of top nobles and bureaucrats like monkeys.

It's not that he and Shen don't harm teachers of Tang Jie's level, they can't control it at all, and those old eunuchs who teach etiquette want to cry every day without tears.

What is the difference between letting these little bastard demons go to the streets to teach people common sense knowledge and letting them go out on the streets to harm people? Lawless science popularization propaganda team, online cockfighting lackeys pulling their beards?

"Your Majesty, if you don't think about it again, many doctoral students in Yushitai can do it." Zhang Cang was embarrassed to say that everyone's children were not good, so he could only suggest it euphemistically.

Qin Zheng nodded: "Okay, go together, the doctoral students have a team for a single day, they have a team for two days, as for going to the east, west, north and south, let them discuss it themselves."

You find someone who is responsible for recording the number of lectures they give and the number of people who attend the lectures, and then set up a line, and if you can't reach it, you will go to the countryside to teach me.

I gave him a separate award for doing a good job, a scene with the martial knight being honored, and then invited him to a royal meal, and the assessment at the end of the year gave him a grade. ”

"Hey!" Zhang Cang nodded and agreed, if he was full of worries just now, then he was somewhat looking forward to it now, after all, he had never seen this kind of spectacle through the ages after reading through the history books.

"How's the recruitment going?" Qin Zheng turned his head to Zhao Gao next to him and asked.

Zhao Gao hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the Forty Years, the CCP has recruited 35,000 soldiers in the Guan, all of whom are young and strong people with a certain amount of experience, and 6,000 of them have already gone to Sanguan for reinforcements.

The remaining 30,000 soldiers are training on the spot under the leadership of county lieutenants in various places, and although the start is not long, they are familiar with the road and make rapid progress. ”

Qin Zheng smiled with relief, sure enough, the speed at which Great Qin dealt with the military was the fastest, and it was only in early January, and 35,000 elite soldiers came out, which was still Qin Zheng's request to only recruit those with beheading experience.

If the conscription conditions are relaxed to all Qianshou, the classical **** Daqin will even be able to pull out 600,000 people in two months! This is the most terrifying thing about Daqin, the military-civilian ratio of one to five!

Qin Zheng continued to instruct: "Well, now that the surroundings are relatively stable, the training can be extended until spring sowing, but I plan to promote literacy in the barracks as well, so let the officers teach it."

Training during the day and study at night, and in the future, officers at the most basic level will also learn calligraphy, and middle-level officers will not only learn calligraphy but also learn the law, but also learn new ones.

On this basis, the high-level generals should study the military books, sort out the military books in the library, and Zhao Gao is responsible for leading people into a volume. Zilian is responsible for leading people to thoroughly understand the printing process, and print three or five thousand copies for me, and everyone will have one in the future! ”

Qin Zheng naturally had his considerations in doing this, because he knew that the level of the war generals in later generations was important, but more important was the average quality of the army.

Especially the level of middle and lower-level officers, they are the ones who really rush to the front line to command, if Qin Zheng wants to overhaul the army and invent those advanced weapons, without these qualities of officers and non-commissioned officers, it is nonsense at all.

Zhao Gao was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid these will be difficult to form for a while." ”

"I know that this work will take ten or twenty years, but it must start now. In terms of manpower, I can't guarantee you, so I can only let you take the apprentice while you do it. Qin Zheng said helplessly and decisively.

Qin Zheng's words were so undeniable that everyone could only agree: "Hey! ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have emphasized the momentum of the great dispute more than once, but today I still want to talk about it. And I clearly tell you that what will be fought for in the future is a culture and a heritage! ”
