Chapter Seventy-Eight: Great Qin's First Imperial Examination

"Your Highness, here is the admission list!"

Taking the list handed over by Chu Yi, Zhao Wen counted it first, and there were only more than six hundred.

Thousands of people applied for the exam, as long as they used Qin Wen and wrote smooth articles, they could be admitted, but only a few hundred people were admitted, and the education level in this era was even lower than Zhao Wen imagined.

I secretly regretted that among the more than 600 people, there was no familiar name except for Li Shi.

But more than 600 people are enough.

"Announce the list, and tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet in the palace of the King of Chu to congratulate them!"

In the future, there will be a deer banquet for the imperial examination, which is the first imperial examination, and Zhao Wen still hopes to start with himself and continue this habit.

These people Zhao Wen plans to cultivate all of them in accordance with the county order, as long as they can govern a county well, they can govern a county well.

Especially now when the country has just been founded, various policies have changed greatly, and it is the most important thing to train people.

"Most of these people will be placed in the townships of the three counties, let Xiao He and Fan Zeng prepare, and they will talk about how to govern for these people, and at the same time, they can also find some old officials to write out all the problems that can be encountered in the countryside!"

Zhao Wenke remembered that in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang compiled a manual of county orders, and wrote down all the things that needed to be done by county orders, and he was also not highly educated in the early Ming Dynasty, but there were still enough officials to kill, which was definitely the top priority.

"I got it!" A middle-aged man with obviously shabby clothes roared loudly, but no one around disliked it, but looked at the middle-aged man with envy on his face.

This exam was personally selected by the Twenty Princes, and as long as he passed the exam, he would be the Twenty Princes.

The Twenty Princes are the most virtuous of the current Great Qin Princes, and it is very likely that they will inherit the throne in the future.

"I wonder if Mr. has ever married a wife?"

A butler-like man squeezed over and asked with a respectful salute to the middle-aged man.

"My family is poor, and I haven't married a wife!" The middle-aged man has a shy face, he has not yet started a family at this age, and he is going to make people laugh at this era.

"Great, my master has a beautiful woman in his family, if Mr. is willing, not only will he have a dowry of 100 catties of gold, but he will also send a house in this Shouchun City, I don't know if Mr. is willing!"

"Ahh

Such a good thing came to the door, and the middle-aged man obviously wanted to agree, but when he looked around, his face showed embarrassment, there must be those who were admitted, and they will all be colleagues in the future, if he agrees, will he laugh at himself in the future.

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not refuse, the old housekeeper was very sensible and pushed the middle-aged man with a few slaves to walk out, and disappeared after a while.

Such things kept happening in front of the palace of the king of Chu, and on that day, Shouchun City was full of the sound of happy events.

"Catch a son-in-law under the list!"

Listening to Chu Yi and Chu Er talking about what happened when the list was released, Zhao Wen almost laughed.

If it weren't for the inappropriate identity, he would have wanted to go over and see it with his own eyes, after all, he had heard a lot about it, but he really hadn't seen it.

However, if such a thing happens, it is enough to show that the rich and noble families in Chudi are optimistic about themselves, so they will dare to marry their daughters when these people don't even have a specific position.

But at the same time, there was also a new trouble, and the officials he had just recruited had been linked with the nobles of Chudi.

Chu Yi said in a low voice on the side: "Like Da Ming, these people have more daughters in their families, and if they give up a daughter, they are spending some money, if they can tie up an official, they will be able to recover at least ten times in the future!" ”

"Even if this official is not of the same mind as them, as long as there is such a relationship, he can borrow the identity of the other party to deter others!"

There is nothing in the Daming Imperial Examination, Chu Yi and Chu Er have already heard a lot of these things, and they told Zhao Wen little by little about the benefits and disadvantages.

"The strategy of relocating rich people from all over the country to enrich Guanzhong cannot be implemented in a short period of time, otherwise when they get to Guanzhong, no matter what kind of power and status these people have in various counties, in front of a group of military nobles, they are just a group of rich people who only have money, and someone will definitely teach them to be human beings!"

Chu Yi and Chu Er nodded at the same time, and the two of them also knew that now Great Qin was not only counting the population of various places, but also implementing the reclamation order, and even recruiting troops to replace the veterans of Qin.

It was just a reclamation order, which made countless slaves who had previously hidden in the homes of nobles everywhere become ordinary people who could pay taxes, and for these nobles, the loss was probably so great that they could cry out in the middle of the night.

With the addition of the same text, the same track, as well as the changes in coins and language, the current Great Qin will definitely not be able to withstand any twists and turns.

With so many things being implemented at the same time, if a relocation order is added, it will definitely be risky.

Even the First Emperor didn't dare to persecute the old nobles of the original Six Kingdoms too much now.

"By the way, call me the lily eater!"

The people of the Zongheng family are definitely not suitable for being officials in the local area, which is simply the biggest waste.

It just so happened that Zhao Wen had one thing here, which only the Zongheng faction could complete.

"Meet Your Highness!" Li Shiqi was passed over by His Royal Highness as soon as he released the list, and he already knew in his heart that His Highness must have something to use himself.

For the Zongheng family, they were not afraid of anything, but they were afraid that they would have no value to the superiors, so when they heard His Highness's call, they immediately rushed over as quickly as possible.

"Do you know more than a dozen vassal states before the Chu State?" Sitting upright at the top to show his respect, Zhao Wen asked with a gentle face.

"The minister knows!"

It has been more than a month in Shouchun, and every day you can see goods moving from the south, and recently a large number of slaves have been transported over, in Li Shiqi's opinion, this is already the countdown to the demise of more than a dozen small countries in the south.

While guessing the reason why His Highness asked him, he replied.

"Do you think that in my name I will visit these dozen or so small countries and tell them that Jiujiang County needs a large number of slaves now, as long as they are transported, I will collect as much as I want!"

Unlike people in this era who think that more than a dozen countries in the south are already marginal places, Zhao Wen knows that behind these dozen or so small countries, there are still a large number of tribes and even countries.

I sent troops to rob slaves, where was it convenient for these people to transport them by themselves.

"Your Highness is clever!"

Li Shiqi looked at Zhao Wen with a look of amazement, to transport a large number of slaves over, it is necessary to need roads, these people are more familiar with the local roads, maybe it will not be long before a road to more than ten countries in the south will appear.

If some of these small countries are greedy, they will also grab slaves from each other, which will inevitably cause great damage to the national strength.

At that time, His Highness will be able to wipe out these dozen or so small countries without much effort!
