"This year's Nanyang Prefecture trial ...... The number of test takers is a bit too much......"

In Nanyang School Palace, Gongsun Jiao and Gu Liangqiu glanced at each other, and finally set their eyes on the former Taishi Xia Wuti.

The new policy of the Qin State deprived Xia Wuti of the right to supervise, but he had already been overwhelmed by the thriving Qin State and the increasingly corrupt old clans, and lost the interest in continuing to participate in court politics.

Now compiling the "History of Qin" in this Nanyang School Palace and teaching and teaching the younger generations, Xia Wuti still feels very relaxed.

However, a sudden big event that came in also gave Xia Wuti a headache, it was this state test!

The Qin court implemented a new system, and a large number of powers were determined, which also meant that the power originally pressed on one person by the Qin State was divided into at least three or four people, who restrained each other and performed their duties.

In this way, whether it is the Qin court or the locality, they are in an embarrassing situation where they have official positions but no one!

Therefore, since June of the first year of the first year, the Qin court has successively issued announcements such as [Zhaoxian Edict], which coincided with the former Wei Xiang Zhai Huang's entry into the Qin court officials Yaqing, and the scholars of the Central Plains heard the news and entered Qin.

Now the square building of Wancheng is no longer able to accommodate the scale of the Central Plains scholars, and Wancheng paper is expensive for a while!

"Nanyang County alone has nearly 20,000 scholars taking the exam!" Xia Wuti frowned, and said worriedly: "If you bring Jiangxia, Nanjun, Yingchuan, Sanchuan, Longdong, and Changsha, when did a certain Great Qin come out with so many scholars?!" ”

"In addition to the Central Plains scholars entering Qin, there are also those old soldiers who have unloaded their armor and returned to their hometowns!" Gu Liangqiu reminded: "Last year, there was a large-scale disarmament, and nearly half of the local officials were open to the veterans of the army, unlike the previous military exploits, now even a small local pavilion chief needs to be proficient in the "Capture of Thieves" and related laws in the Qin Law, and need to pass the state test to obtain the identity of a [State Show]!" ”

Last year, following the edict of recruiting talents, the officials and officials of the Qin court also began the emerging system of being officials under the instruction of the new monarch, but all official positions below 400 stones, that is, below the county order, need to be qualified by [State Xiu].

And the only way to obtain the identity of this [state show] is to pass this state test!

Nanyang County is the core of Great Qin, especially the Nanyang School Palace is here, and the Central Plains scholars entered Qin in addition to the Sanchuan County and the Yingchuan Army occupying the geographical convenience, which is the most attractive Nanyang County.

The state test does not need to be bothered by Xia Wuti, Gongsun Jiao and Gu Liangqiu, who are in the Nanyang School Palace, and the reason why they are so troubled now is because there is still a [national test] after the state test.

The [State Test] is facing the officials under the 400 stone county order, and if you want to be an official position above the 400 Shi Yulu, you need the [National Test]!

After the state examination, although most of them went to the local government to be officials, Zhou Xiu had already obtained the qualification to study in the Nanyang Academy Palace for one year, and those scholars who hoped for the national examination would definitely not let go of this opportunity to enter the Nanyang Academy to study.

It's just that there are 3,000 people in the Nanyang School Palace today, which is already stretched thin for their own financial resources!

Gongsun Yu thought about it, and finally said: "I'm afraid this is because Qin Ting is forcing the Nanyang Academy Palace to submit to the control of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Probably so." Gu Liangqiu nodded, as if he understood the new monarch quite well, and immediately said: "The national strength of the Qin State is becoming more and more prosperous, but the scholars of the Central Plains countries have entered Qin one after another, and there are various theories, and there are even small people who slander the new policy of the Qin Court. ”

Seeing this scene, Xia Wuti also sighed, seeing that Gongsun Yu and Gu Liangqiu meant this, most of the Nanyang School Palace was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, it is progressing faster than Xia Wuti imagined, and the Ministry of Rites' covetousness for the Nanyang Academy is far deeper than its current performance, after all, the diplomatic affairs of the Qin State are now controlled by the scribes of the Inner Dynasty.

If it weren't for the joint planning of such major events as the [State Test] and [National Test] with the Ministry of Officials, I am afraid that the role of the Ministry of Rites is only to record the etiquette of the Ji Zhou Dynasty and the Qin State.

The state test forced the Nanyang School Palace to compromise with the Qin Court, and the Ministry of Rites also started very quickly on the Nanyang School Palace, as early as the period of Angong, the Qin State had already laid the foundation for the state test, and the selected state show was more gathered in the Nanyang School Palace in addition to entering the Qin Court.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Nanyang Academy Palace gathers the most outstanding scholars in Daqin!

Xia Wuti, Gu Liangqiu, and Gongsun Jiao are all figures who stomped their feet and shook three shocks in the local Shilin of Daqin, but even the speed of the official Zhengqing and Fu Zi'an did not take into account the face of these big men at all.

The Ministry of Rites has been instructed by the new monarch and the Prime Minister's Office to establish county-level schools in various parts of Daqin, with positions such as sacrificial wine and lecturers, and after learning basic literacy, they will major in Daqin's law and arithmetic, which are also the main subjects of the state examination.

It's just that Qin Ting definitely can't come up with so many manpower now, so he can only hit the idea on the Nanyang Academy.

In fact, there are not a few scholars who are sent to teach in Nanyang School every year, but it is not a climate after all, like Jingdi along the river, and no one cares about it.

This matter has been dragged on until now has not been resolved, although there is such a major event as the state test, but the state test is still mainly based on the Ministry of Officials, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites simply obtained the support of the Ministry of Household and the Inner Government, and took the opportunity of the state test to start establishing a system of county schools.

And as the days passed, the state test also came as scheduled, and the Ministry of Officials also requested the assistance of the Yulin Army through the Ministry of War, and the state test of Nanyang County was held in the Yulin Army garrison camp in Shanglin Yuan, and the rest of the counties were probably like this.

In addition to the vacant barracks that have been disarmed, it may be difficult for so many soldiers to find other suitable places to take the test.

The state examination of the state of Qin in March of the second year of the first century was held for a total of three days, and the number of people who applied for the state examination in each county was roughly counted, and it was actually approaching an extremely terrifying 100,000 people!

These people were able to participate in the state examination, and they were also literate at the worst, but when the scholars from the Central Plains countries saw this scene, they suddenly had an illusion that "all the scholars in the world have entered the Qin State", how could they continue to insist on the biased view that the Qin State was a barbarian country before!

If it weren't for the Qin Dynasty's popular [pen, ink, paper, inkstone] and other materials that are very easy to write, if these nearly 100,000 people choose bamboo slips, I am afraid that the bamboo slips piled up can be as high as the mountains, and they can block the water of the big river with every move!

But even simple writing materials such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are quite impressive!

After the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites of more than 400 stones, nearly 300 of them, were scattered to various counties and counties, and in the face of the state examination papers like a small hill, they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

I was unable to do it, and I was afraid that I would delay the deadline stipulated by the above, so I had to ask for help from the outstanding students of Nanyang School Palace who were recruited by the Ministry of Rites to help.

If so, it was also delayed until the beginning of April, after Lin Yuyan finished his southern tour of Changsha, Nanjun and Jiangxia, and the final results of the state tests in these counties were presented to Lin Yuyan's desk.
