Chapter 528: An Unexpected Topic (First Update)
Although Yinggao, who came and went in a hurry, only said such a short paragraph, which took a minute in total, it inspired these candidates and brought a lot of mystery.
These candidates naturally don't know that the reason why Yinggao came and went in a hurry was actually because he still agreed with the Zhu family's reminder to him in his heart.
These more than 100 people have all been screened out by Xiao He and Lu Jia, what if there are assassins in them? After all, before the imperial examination began to be implemented, Yinggao had already released the news that the final examination would be in Xianyang City, and according to Yinggao's habits before, he would almost definitely show up for such a thing.
Under such circumstances, Yinggao could only put away some of his previous thoughts, mobilized the enthusiasm of these candidates and left.
All these years have passed, and he is still so young!
This is Sun Yue's impression of Yinggao sitting in the middle position, the current Yinggao is really no different from the Yinggao who stood in front of him back then, and he is still like her brother's age.
As for what Yinggao said, she really didn't have much idea, and when she finally came back to her senses, she only found that the candidates around her were all gearing up, and suddenly it seemed that they were all hit with chicken blood, and she couldn't help but calm down and began to adjust her state.
As soon as Yinggao went out, a guard pulled in a huge wooden plank, Sun Yue knew that behind the wooden board, what was written was the topic of this school examination, the question personally written by Yinggao, the emperor of Great Qin.
With a shout of 'The hour is coming', the Praetorian guard lifted the linen covering the wooden board, and the two subjects finally revealed their true colors.
More than a hundred pairs of eyes looked at the two questions in unison, and when they saw the first question, many people let out a long breath, for no other reason, this Great Qin's attack on the Peacock Dynasty happened within a few months, and as the most bullish time of Great Qin's external expansion, it was naturally indispensable to be analyzed by their teachers when they were lecturing.
The capture of the Mauryan Dynasty has become an established fact, and under such circumstances, any treatment of the large land and tens of millions of people of the Mauryan Dynasty has become a matter of great concern to the people of Great Qin.
After all, during the period of Yinggao's accession to the throne, immigration was a common thing, so many people in Daqin were worried about whether they would be immigrated to the Peacock Dynasty by Yinggao, or whether there would be aliens in the land of Daqin, and if they really came, in what capacity, whether they were ordinary people or nobles, or slaves, such topics were often debated by everyone at almost every wine table in Daqin, not to mention the lecture process of those so-called people of insight.
In such a situation, as soon as this question appeared, a lot of ideas came out of many people's heads, the Peacock Dynasty is the same as the Huns in the eyes of many people, they are all aliens, and they will naturally not accept it when they treat foreign races, and they can answer how they want to answer.
But when they saw the second question, many people were not so calm, and said that this was the question of the king himself? Why are you still involved with women?
In fact, in this examination school, there are five women among more than 100 people, which has made many people very unhappy, they think that these five women have already seized their places, and they don't know what Yinggao thinks, but they didn't expect that at this level, this matter was actually used as a topic.
But when the five women saw this topic, their faces flashed with great excitement, especially Sun Yue.
"It turns out that the king really hasn't forgotten what he said in front of me back then!"
As soon as she looked at this question, Sun Yue basically knew what was going on, what Yinggao thought of a woman, others didn't know, she must know, just at the sentence he said in front of him back then, plus the current question, then he was naturally able to clearly grasp what Yinggao was thinking.
For Sun Yue, it was almost a question to send points, and because she was inspired by Yinggao back then, one of the things that Sun Yue had been thinking about was why women couldn't have the same power as men in this era.
In fact, women can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and women can also govern the country, these have always been things that Sun Yue has been thinking about, and today, Yinggao finally gave her a decent opportunity, so that she could implement all her ideas in front of Yinggao and in front of other Great Qin officials on this thin piece of linen paper.
One of the differences between this round of the examination and the last one is that the time has been extended by half an hour, because Yinggao knows that this second question may make it very difficult for many people to write.
Not only do they have to combine the habits that Daqin has always had, but they also have to guess what the intention of winning this question is, which is really a little difficult for these people.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the result of the question about women you came up with this time will not be the same as what you think."
The candidates took the exam in the side hall, Yinggao and Xiao He, Lu Jia and others did not go far, they were discussing some recent government affairs in the main hall, while silently waiting for the end of this examination.
After discussing the political affairs that Yinggao needed to deal with in the past few days, Xiao He finally couldn't help but say his opinion on Yinggao's second test question.
Because whether it is a scholar of Daqin or a head of Qian, although the status of women cannot be said to be extremely low, it has been a sure thing for many years as an accessory of men.
And now Yinggao asked the candidates to explain their understanding of this matter, even if they know that what Yinggao wants is for the candidates to face up to the fact that there may be some talents among women, but there are not too many people who really dare to answer like this in their own examination schools, and most of the people in this era need to seek stability, not take risks.
"In that case, I naturally know in my heart, the talents I want, after all, are also rare, the first question can let me see whether this person is a talent who has ideas and can govern the country, and the second question is about guts, people with courage and courage will naturally have a more suitable position for them."
After Yinggao finished speaking, Xiao He and Lu Jia understood that the first question is equivalent to the basic question, and you have to answer it according to Yinggao's mind, which is good, and this second question is a question of improvement, as long as you dare to answer an answer that is different from the mainstream view in the process of taking the school examination, it is almost considered to be qualified in Yinggao.
After all, anyone with a little bit of brains can know that the reason why Yinggao came up with such a question is that the answer they want is likely to be different.
But in order to achieve this effect, first of all, you have to say no to the ideas on the land where you have lived for decades, and even if you cater to Yinggao's ideas, once Yinggao finally discusses this issue with you face-to-face, it will be in vain, so it is one thing to think about it, and it is another thing to dare or not.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if those five women, if they really have some talents, how should you arrange them?"
After answering Xiao He's words just now, Lu Jia came to the question again, he thought that the question was not as traditional as Xiao He, as soon as he looked at Yinggao's question, he knew that Yinggao would definitely not be as simple as a temptation, and the five women who entered the Xianyang Palace to participate in the imperial examination would definitely not be as simple as playing soy sauce.
Lu Jia's question made Ying Gao smile slightly, of course he would not do anything meaningless, in his opinion, Daqin is indeed lacking talents, but the reason for the lack of talents is not that there are few people, nor that there are few scholars, but that the right people are not arranged in the right positions.
"The officials of my Great Qin are now only divided into two categories: civil and military, and the things that go out and enter the prime minister often happen in the court of Great Qin, which does not mean that my courtiers of Great Qin are all talents, but only that my Great Qin has a lot of times when no one is available, and there are many things closely related to the people of my Great Qin, all of which are in a state of no one to manage, such as the manufacture of linen, the guidance for farming, and the guidance for raising livestock. I'm afraid that no one in more than 30 counties of Daqin can do it, right? ”
"This ......"
Lu Jia was originally a guy who could speak well, but with this sentence, he found that he really had nothing to refute it.
Indeed, before, whether it was the Warring States or Great Qin, what was needed was troops, not for the people to live a rich life, and the people were just a base for supporting the war.
When Great Qin unified the world, in fact, such an idea should have appeared, but unfortunately in the heart of the First Emperor, there was nothing to do with the people of Great Qin, and he patronized whether he could live a few more years.
The final result is that Yinggao almost left a big mess, if it wasn't Yinggao who ascended the throne at the beginning, even if it was a somewhat capable Fusu, it would be good to be able to clean up those messes at this time.
And now, in addition to vigorously expanding the territory of Great Qin, Yinggao is almost most concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood, although he has not revised the Qin law because of such a thing, but Lu Jia has long known that these are the most basic things in Yinggao's heart, and they should be done normally, if it is written in Qin's law, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
"In the vast villages of Daqin, because men need to serve in the army and other things, most of this part of the labor also falls on the heads of women, so isn't it reasonable to use women to manage these things?"
Xiao He and Lu Jia looked at each other face to face, and they all counted in their hearts, Dare Yinggao is already ready to focus on these five women, and not only these five, it is foreseeable that there will be fifty, five hundred in the future, because if Yinggao wants to send someone to guide the farming affairs of this Great Qin, there must be at least one such person in every county, right?
Seeing that he had basically made these two ministers of the interior, who were almost the best ministers of the Great Qin, successfully comprehend his meaning, Ying Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he himself admired himself a little, if it weren't for the unexpectedly fast attack on the Peacock Dynasty, he would naturally not have introduced the imperial examination into the new policy of Great Qin so quickly.
If he hadn't found that there was a piece of land as big as the Peacock Dynasty that needed to be managed, and the real management talents of Great Qin were very few, he would not have put forward women's rights at this juncture.
Originally, he felt that he was pushing history forward step by step, but now Yinggao finally found that while creating history, he must also closely follow the pace of history, otherwise one leg has stepped onto the fast lane of development and the other leg is still hanging outside, and will eventually be ruthlessly crushed by history.
This night, for the three of them is destined to be another sleepless night, because Yinggao has been ordered to go down at the beginning of the examination school, and when it is over, all the candidates must return to the post house where they lived before waiting for the notice, three days later, the list of finally promoted to face-to-face communication with the emperor will be generated, at that time, no shortlisted people are allowed to leave, and those who have been shortlisted continue to wait to create the next legend of their own.
And the reason why he is in such a hurry is because Yinggao must send dozens of more people to the Peacock Dynasty in the next step, because if only the generals and sergeants are suppressed in the Peacock Dynasty and no one goes to the officials, it will definitely not last long.
Although Ying Gao knew this truth, and also knew that Peng Yue, Sima Xin and others, who were currently guarding the Peacock Dynasty, should encounter some trouble, but he didn't expect that trouble was indeed coming, but it was not according to his thoughts.
It turned out that according to Yinggao's idea, there would definitely be people within the Peacock Dynasty who would stand up against Daqin's occupation and rule over them, and this was indeed the case, but what Yinggao didn't expect was the understanding of the forces of the Peacock Dynasty about Daqin's attack on the Mauryan Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Ashoka, the Mauryan Empire was a giant existence, and all the dynasties could only bow down to it, or sign an alliance with it not to attack each other, and some of the covenants were still observed by both sides until this time, and even at this time they did not know that the Mauryan Empire had fallen to such a degree.
Among them, there is a dynasty adjacent to the Mauryan Empire, known as the Seleucid Dynasty.
