Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Exam Begins
"After entering the door in turn, there will be a county soldier to take you to the test site, you must answer within an hour, and those who overtime will not get results!"
A group of scholars crowded in front of the barracks, and Zhang Han, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Han Xin, and a group of hundreds of generals shouted one by one to raise their voices.
There is no way, who let the entire Shouchun, only the barracks can accommodate thousands of scholars to take the exam at the same time.
Moreover, a few days ago, when the bandits were cleaned up, they actually lost three hundred generals and hundreds of soldiers when they were equipped with fine iron armor and weapons, and the three of them were embarrassed to raise their heads when they even faced His Highness, so they naturally arranged what to do.
After Li Shiqi squeezed into the barracks, a sergeant wearing fine iron armor and holding a fine iron spear immediately came over and said, "Please come with me, sir!" ”
Glancing at the neat county soldiers standing not far away, the armor and weapons on all of them actually shone with the same luster, obviously made of fine iron.
The eyes of the Li Shi, who learned to be vertical and horizontal, suddenly lit up.
He was sure that as long as these sergeants were trained normally, they would inevitably be the top elites in the world, and the ordinary generals of the six countries in the past were probably not the opponents of the Jiujiang soldiers.
With such strength, he is still His Royal Highness of Great Qin, even if the crown prince is not the twenty princes in the future, he can directly raise troops and bring down the world again.
Although the Zongheng faction is learning to talk about the sword, it is the most concerned about the strength of its own power, if the monarch who serves does not have strong strength, he will not be able to move others if he is tired!
As for whether His Royal Highness will rebel if he is not the prince in the future, thinking that after His Royal Highness arrives in Jiujiang County, the place that cares most about and spends the most effort is the county soldiers.
If it weren't for the great hope for this army of soldiers, 10,000 people of fine iron armor and weapons would not be a small amount, and who would be willing to spend such a big price just to put it on display.
All the way to a square, there were already scholars sitting down behind some desks.
The county soldier who led the way next to him whispered: "Sir, you can choose any position to sit down, and I will follow Mr. until you finish the exam!" ”
Nodding slightly, Li Shiqi naturally knew that each person was followed by a county soldier, and this was the person His Highness monitored their exams.
After choosing a random place to sit down, the first thing I noticed was an animal skin on the desk, a brush on the side, and an ink on one side, and I couldn't help but settle down.
Bamboo slips are carved very slowly, and since he came in, he has been worried that if the time is too short, he will not be able to finish what he wants to write, but now that he has animal skins and brushes, he will naturally save a lot of time.
Just after seeing the hides, I remembered the various items brought back by the merchants of Shouchun from the southern countries, and even brought back a large number of craftsmen and slaves these days.
For the countries of the South, Li Shi's heart is already full of contempt.
Whether it is artisans or food, which is the most important thing for a country, it is easy to be brought back by a group of merchants, and with the greed of the merchants, he can even conclude that it will not be long before the countries of the South will be in chaos.
After a while, thousands of scholars all sat down, and Xiao He shouted loudly: "You can write a suggestion to Daqin, no matter what aspect, but it must be written in Qin script, after an hour, whether it is written or not, you must hand over the animal skin to the county soldiers around you!" ”
"The results will be announced in front of the palace of King Chu in three days, and everyone will see it then, and you must remember to write your name and place of origin first!"
In the distance, 10,000 county soldiers began to shout in unison, and there was no radio or anything like that in this era, so naturally they could only shout.
Xiao He stood upright, many of these people would become his colleagues, and he naturally had to pay attention to his image.
The scholars in the square started to write at the same time.
"Bell!"
A crisp bell rang, and an hour came.
All the county soldiers stepped forward at the same time, put away the animal skin, and sent it towards Xiao Na, many of them who had not finished writing looked miserable one by one, but more of them got up and walked out.
After putting thousands of animal skins into a carriage next to him, he followed the several eunuchs escorting the carriage towards the direction of the Chu Palace.
After a group of eunuchs held the animal skin and put it away, Zhao Wen directly instructed the surrounding Chu Yi, Chu Er, Xiao He, and Fan Zengdao: "First pick out those who are not written in Qin script, those who have not written their names, and those who have not finished writing, and the others will be admitted as long as the text is smooth!" ”
Zhao Wen's exam this time is to maximize his prestige in Great Qin, these scholars who can write Qin Wen, even if they don't need it here, the First Emperor will definitely take over the past, it is completely a favor, and the more people admitted, the better.
"But you still have to work hard, pick out the good writing, and rank these scholars, and I will reward the top 100!"
Since ancient times, there is no first martial arts and no second, but when it comes to the exam, it is the easiest to distinguish the superior, and he will definitely reuse the top 100, even if it is to raise the reputation of these people among scholars, Zhao Wen will also reward him.
As for those who have not been admitted, they are building a academy in the east of the city, and these people will be able to enter and study in it at that time.
"Your Highness!"
Chu Yi handed over a piece of animal skin and motioned for Zhao Wen to look at the name on it!
After glancing at it, Zhao Wen smiled indifferently.
Li Shiqi was also a talent at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but he learned from the Zongheng family, and his strength grew very fast, no matter what happened in the future, it would definitely be a horizontal push, and there was really no place to use the Zongheng family.
But how to say that he is also a talent, and it will always be useful when he stays around, so he nodded and signaled for admission.
On the other side, Xiao He and Fan Zeng saw that His Royal Highness actually put the two of them side by side with the two eunuchs, and their faces suddenly darkened, but Chu Yi and Chu Er are now in charge of palace affairs, and all government affairs must be sent to these two people first.
And the two of them also deliberately tried, these two eunuchs are far above ordinary people in terms of knowledge and knowledge, although they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they also sigh in their hearts, and look down again.
Regarding Xiao He and Fan Zeng's emotions, Zhao Wen naturally saw it.
But he didn't care.
Chu Yi and Chu Er were cultivated in the study of the Ming Dynasty, although they studied Confucianism, because the later Confucianism changed too much, which was completely different from this era, and their identities were eunuchs, so that these two people were embarrassed to play the banner of Confucianism.
But when it comes to learning, there are really not many people in this era who can be above these two.
The most important thing is that there is no doubt about the loyalty of these two people, so the subordinates who can be trusted are still eunuchs, in Zhao Wen's opinion, the role is much better than Xiao He and Fan Zeng.
