My name is Gucci, and I never thought I would get a condition called 'state banquet phobia'.

I especially remember that when His Royal Highness King Qin first arrived in Qinchuan, he took the initiative to donate 100,000 yuan of grain for the Qinchuan drought when he first held a state banquet.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin has set an example, and all the Qinchuan clans, without exception, have pinched their noses and made special donations.

At that time, the attitude was that when His Royal Highness King Qin first arrived in Qinchuan, he spent money to buy peace, and he couldn't provoke the king of a country for this matter.

So the first state banquet was spent like spending money to eliminate disasters.

At that time, all the patriarchs of the Qinchuan clan were still thinking in their hearts that this new official had three fires in office, but they didn't expect to donate some grain and grass to spend it so safely.

But also, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is only a twelve-year-old young vassal king, no matter how much he burns it, can he still give the entire Qinchuan County an order?

In addition, after the first state banquet, His Royal Highness King Qin was inexplicable, and without saying hello, he went straight to inspect the border passes......

This walk was even more long, and it made all the Qinchuan clans feel relaxed and relieved in their hearts.

It seems that these days, with or without the existence of this Lord of the Qin Kingdom, it won't change much......

Then, after His Royal Highness King Qin returned to Hanyang, the second state banquet was officially held to celebrate the great achievement of disaster relief and helping the people.

In this state banquet, although the wine and delicacies and jade plates are all complete, the Qinchuan clan would rather hope that it will be like the first state banquet, so coarse and light food, simple and abnormal.

It's just because this first state banquet just asked for money, but this second state banquet is really terrible!!

As soon as the tax reform policy of 'spreading the ding into the mu and integrating the land and the land' came out, it was tantamount to going to the entire Qinchuan clan for half a life!

In particular, His Royal Highness the King of Qin ambushed the armor warriors and beheaded the five patriarchs on the spot by forceful means to show the public!

This made this state banquet undoubtedly a haze that could not be erased from the hearts of all the Qinchuan clans for a long time......

So under the iron-blooded means of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, a group of Qinchuan clans participated in the third state banquet of Qin with trepidation.

But unexpectedly, the third state banquet was uneventful, not only did there not be any bloodshed, but it surprised the Qinchuan clans!

It's just that His Royal Highness the King of Qin not only rewarded all the world clans with strange things in the Western Regions, but also named two children of the world clan as Maocai in public, directly recommended the court, and even entrusted them with important tasks on the spot!

Doing so made the Qinchuan clan overjoyed!

Just because His Royal Highness King Qin did this, it is obvious that the three fires have finally burned out!

Those disobedient clans have been reduced to yesterday's past, and they have ended up beheaded.

As for the remaining clans now, they have finally survived the three fires of the new official taking office!

Even if it has been burned, at least it can barely survive, which is much better than the end of the dead clan.

So after the third state banquet, the remnants of the Qinchuan clan finally put their minds at ease, and they no longer had to worry about His Royal Highness King Qin's whimsical idea and what kind of moth they came up.

In this way, the peaceful life in the border county is finally going to return to normal.

Until, the arrival of the fourth state banquet of the Qin State......

And it was this state banquet that made the sixty or seventy-year-old patriarchs suddenly realize that they were still too young......

When His Royal Highness the King of Qin announced that in the future of the Qin State, the selection of officials will be replaced by the imperial examination system.

In the entire hall, there was no word, and there was no sound......

The patriarchs were about to speak, but they suddenly remembered the elegant, easy-going, and amiable style of His Royal Highness King Qin......

So they all wisely stopped their mouths, and responded with sparse but unusually lively applause on the spot.

So in a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere of the guests of honor, the Qin State Imperial Examination System was officially announced and began to be implemented in the country!

But when the imperial examination system was officially implemented, Zhao Zheng suddenly found out and threatened to force ...... Oh no, it was to influence these Qinchuan clans to agree to the imperial examination system, which was just the beginning of everything.

really wants to implement the imperial examination system in the Qin State, but there are still too many problems that have emerged......

……

The first problem is that when the imperial examination system is implemented, the place where students can study and take examinations, that is, the official school or school palace of the Qin State must be solved.

This question is not too simple, in the face of such major events in the country as educating the people and selecting officials, Taishou Yaofei seems to be extremely aware of the righteousness.

However, after His Royal Highness the King of Qin summoned him for an interview and cordially expressed his condolences, he took the initiative to vacate the seat of the county government again.

With a group of Qinchuan officials, they moved to a smaller official residence not far away.

This is already the third large-scale relocation of the seat of the county government after His Royal Highness the King of Qin took office and vacated the place for the palace of the King of Qin......

Although it is helpless, there is no way.

Who made Hanyang Castle so poor and dilapidated, even though it is the capital of a county and the capital of a country?

So much so that in a hurry, you can't even find a mansion of the same size?

After solving the problem of the location of the school, Zhao Zheng faced the second problem that followed.

Where do the teachers come from?

It must be known that in Zhao Zheng's plan, this school not only undertakes the important task of selecting talents for the Qin State, but more importantly, cultivating talents for the Qin State!

Since you want to cultivate talents, you must have teachers to teach students!

But now, where can I find so many teachers with both ability and integrity?

But if there is no teacher, how can I cultivate more talents for my use?

Faced with this chicken-and-egg question, Zhao Zheng fell into deep contemplation......

After thinking hard to no avail, Zhao Zheng chose to skip this link for the time being, and wait for a way to come up with a way in the future.

After all, the top priority at the moment is to urgently recruit a group of talents, and as for the long-term plan of cultivating talents, we will also slowly plan it in the future.

So Zhao Zheng was very wise, and directly preached in the county, publicized the new policies of the Qin State, and encouraged the children of the poor family and even the common people to participate in the open talent selection of the Qin State!

In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of this open selection and registration, and to prevent someone from messing around with it, Zhao Zheng deliberately bypassed Taishou Yaofei and chose to appoint an honest and honest clerk Hao Zhen as the chief examiner to handle the matter with full authority.

Although Hao Zhen also belongs to the Qinchuan clan, it is difficult to say that he will not favor the children of other clans, but at the moment, when no one is available, he can only pull the general from the dwarf, and let Hao Zhen, a loyal and simple honest man, go first.

After all, judging from Hao Zhen's current performance, especially the words he records on weekdays, he is really an honest and trustworthy honest person!

But this time, this honest man recognized by the Qin Chuan clan seemed to have disappointed His Royal Highness King Qin, who trusted him......

……

"Hao Zhen! You big-eyed guy! Do you dare to deceive this king?! ”

I only heard the sound of 'pop', and it was recorded that the bamboo slips that were selected for admission this time were immediately thrown in front of Hao Zhen by Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, in a fit of anger!

"My king! Wronged, my king! ”

When Hao Zhen heard this, he suddenly knelt on the ground in shock, and kowtowed again and again like an onion, and hurriedly exclaimed in a panic!

"Since the minister has won the trust of my king so much, he is afraid but it is too late, how dare he deceive my king?!"

"Then this is on the list! Why are nine out of ten the children of a big family?! ”

Zhao Zheng was furious, pointed to the list of talents scattered on the ground, and asked angrily on the spot!

At that time, in order to prevent the family from influencing the open selection with the help of family power, he specially told Hao Zhen that every selected talent must clearly mark his family background, so that he can be clear at a glance during the final review.

Therefore, this long list of talents (preliminary draft), with just a glance, can most intuitively see how many children of the family are and how many children of the poor family are.

So in this case, Zhao Zheng glanced at it with great interest, but found that as far as the eye could see, row by row, eight or nine times out of ten were the list of selected talents of the children of the world, how could he change color and be furious?

"If this is not the case, my king! The minister knows that my king's imperial examination is intended to be fair and just, and to select talents for the country! Therefore, at the time of the assessment, all the children of the Han family never dared to have the slightest contempt, and even had a lot of preferential treatment, my king! ”

Hao Zhen hurriedly explained, and in a hurry, he almost cried!

"That'...... But how can there be such a ridiculous list?! ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, knowing that Hao Zhen's words should be true, but why did the final list of talents still occupy the vast majority of famous children?

"Return to my king! To have such a conclusion, it is not because the ministers are partial to the children of the world! Because most of the children of the poor family are limited by their family background, they have learned very little! Unless there are a very few talented people, compared to the children of the clan cultivated since childhood, they are indeed very inferior to my king! ”

As soon as Hao Zhen saw that His Royal Highness had given him a chance to explain, he hurriedly said eagerly.

"The minister knows that my king's imperial examination is only based on talent and learning, and is not limited to family background! But to dig deeper, we should still focus on talent learning! Therefore, the ministers must not take care of the children of the poor family, but select a group of useless talents for our king! ”

Such sincere and heartfelt words, but Zhao Zheng, who listened to it, was immediately stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.

Yes, this imperial examination is a meritocracy, only about how individuals learn!

If you are given special care because of your humble background, what is the difference between such a move and special treatment because of your family background?

Moreover, after this statement, Zhao Zheng suddenly realized.

It turns out that the rulers of the ancient feudal society, knowing that the selection of officials from the big clans, will lead to the continuous expansion of the clans, and the power of the clans will become bigger and bigger, and it will even be difficult to restrain them.

But why is it still from generation to generation, one day at a time, all dependent on the famous family?

Maybe in addition to the system reasons, it is because there are not many people who can use it among the children of the poor family!

It is important to know that in ancient feudal society, unlike the modern nine-year compulsory education, almost everyone, regardless of their background, can get almost equal educational opportunities and resources.

In ancient times, especially in ancient societies where there were no private schools, educational resources were almost monopolized in the hands of famous families!

In this way, passed down from generation to generation, it is naturally easier to produce talents, and it is easier for the family power to continue to grow, forming a virtuous circle.

As for the children of the poor family, first of all, in terms of the educational resources they can obtain, they are far behind the children of the world.

It is equivalent to being at the starting line, and he is already lagging behind, unless he is really talented, how can he compete with the children of the world?

"This ......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng suddenly realized that he was still thinking too simply!

Could it be that the children of the poor family have the ability to compete with the children of the world clan through open selection?

Unless he can break this resource monopoly, the children of the Han family also have the same educational resources as the children of the world!

Otherwise, what imperial examination system ...... It's just a dream!

After all, in Kyushu at present, bamboo slips are popular, not to mention that it is extremely difficult to make, and it is extremely troublesome to transport.

And it is precisely because of this that the family can monopolize educational resources.

In later generations, it was precisely because of the emergence of papermaking and printing that books could be produced in large quantities and cheaply, thus breaking the long-term monopoly of the world's famous families on knowledge and education!

And after this equal educational opportunity, the imperial examination system has the premise and development space for its birth.

Otherwise, if you just pat your head and be able to change the course of history at will, it would be too ideal.

"So...... Why do I have to invent paper? ”

When he finally figured out these joints, Zhao Zheng was helpless to realize that if he wanted to implement the imperial examination system, he had to rely on the invention of papermaking and printing!

And apparently, after the invention of papermaking in the first place, it was possible to think about printing.

Otherwise...... Isn't it possible to go to the bamboo slips to print??

"So...... Where's my Cai Lun? ”

Zhao Zheng stood in thought, but his thoughts no longer knew where to go......

……

Isn't this kind of fair, just and open way of thinking very similar to our modern thinking?

Of course, the so-called crossing statement is of course a joke, but it is precisely because of this that it seems that the First Emperor is so extraordinary!

Being able to uphold this advanced concept of equality for the first time in that ancient feudal society is the difference of the first emperor through the ages!
