Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "The widow still doesn't want to marry your sister." ”

Seeing that the king saw through his thoughts, Li Si smiled embarrassedly: "The courtier's sister is stubborn, it is really difficult to match with the shopkeeper Lin. ”

Ying Zheng was like a mirror in his heart, and he had long seen Li Si's thoughts.

Li Si is such a smart person, and he must be thinking about marrying his sister to a prince and nobleman.

And the current shopkeeper Lin is not a nobleman, and in terms of status, it is indeed not a match for their Li family.

Ying Zheng also knew this very well in his heart, so he didn't force Li Si to marry his sister to Lin Mo.

"Don't come to this set, your mind can be hidden from others, and you can hide it from the widow? Last time, the widow asked you to study papermaking, how is your research now? ”

Li Si bowed his hand and reported: "Back to the king, the craft classics of papermaking have been handed over to the general Shaofu Mojia giant, and I believe that this technology will be all the rage in my Daqin in a few months." ”

"Good! The widow is waiting for your good news. By the way, the widow and Shopkeeper Lin will go to the underground school after three days, and you will tell you not to let anyone reveal the identity of the widow. ”

Li Si was slightly stunned.

The king is going to inspect the underground school?

He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, the officials who manage the underground academy are not officials in the court, and none of them have ever seen the king. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's good." Shopkeeper Lin was full of ambition, and finally wanted to give it a go and wanted to enter the court as an official. ”

Li Si asked suspiciously: "King, since we have figured out what Shopkeeper Lin is thinking, why don't we just tell him our identity, wouldn't this save a lot of trouble?" ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "The widow has known the shopkeeper Lin for almost a year, and with this person's ability, it is more than enough to become an official in the court." But if I tell him his identity now and summon him to Xianyang Palace, with his character, he will definitely choose to refuse. ”

"The minister is still puzzled, Shopkeeper Lin is obviously ambitious, why would he still refuse the king's request for talent?"

"If you are the shopkeeper of Lin, are you willing to become an official in the DPRK and China by virtue of your own ability, or do you want to become an official in the DPRK through connections?"

Li Si smiled: "As long as the result is the same, why stick to the process? ”

"It seems that you still don't know enough about Shopkeeper Lin. What's more, the widow and the shopkeeper Lin get along like friends, and the relationship is very harmonious. ”

"But sooner or later, the king will have to meet with Shopkeeper Lin in the form of a monarch and a minister!"

"Let's make this day come later!"

Li Si finally understood Lin Mo's position in Yingzheng's heart at this moment.

The king has long regarded Shopkeeper Lin as a confidant and friend.

And this kind of friendship is completely more than the relationship between him and the king.

……

Three days later, Ying Zheng took a carriage to the brothers' good restaurant at noon.

The business of the restaurant is booming, and there is an endless stream of customers.

Lin Mo was busy until he was too late, and then he could be considered to be able to take a break.

He gave a few words to Shan Rou and got into Yingzheng's carriage.

"Brother Zhao, I've kept you waiting. Recently, the business of the restaurant has been getting better and better, and it has a good reputation, and it has been favored by many nobles. ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, it is only a matter of time before you have such superb cooking skills and such a hot business." ”

"Brother Zhao, you really have a vision! But lately, I've been thinking a lot about my future plans. ”

"Last time, the old lieutenant told me that I have such talent, but I am willing to be buried in the market, which is really a loss for Daqin."

"After thinking about it, I feel that what the old lieutenant said is not unreasonable."

Ying Zheng was shocked.

This is to give Wei Yuzi a credit.

I didn't expect him to be able to say that the shopkeeper of Donglin entered the court as an official?

At the beginning, he persuaded Lin Mo for a long time, but he didn't say anything about the other party's desire to enter Xianyang Palace.

However, when Lin Mo heard about the underground school, his attitude would change so much!

"Now that I finally understand the way we recruit talents, I suddenly feel that I still have to fight for the sake of entering the court and becoming an official."

"Brother Zhao, although you are now in the Qin Kingdom, your status and nobility are still not comparable, don't you want to fight with me?"

"Otherwise, how about the two of us go to the underground school together, become a bachelor there, and prepare for the exam together?"

Ying Zheng arched his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, you can have such a heart to serve the country, Zhao deeply admires." It's just that Zhao's qualifications are dull, I'm afraid it's not as good as you! ”

Lin Mo hooked Yingzheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" I'll give you a back, let's go in together, if you don't enter, then I won't go in. We are good brothers, rich and noble, advance and retreat together! ”

For a moment, Ying Zheng was infected by Lin Mo's open-mindedness.

Lin Mo treated him as the best brother with such sincerity, which touched his heart.

It turned out that Lin Mo didn't want to enter the court as an official alone, but wanted to pull himself into the court as an official together.

Such a loving and righteous person, it is the first time I have seen President Ying so big.

Since he succeeded to the throne at the age of 13, he has never felt the so-called brotherhood again, but now Lin Mo has made him feel the brotherhood again.

He hugged Lin Mo's shoulders tightly and said, "Okay! Then let's go in together! ”

Lin Mo secretly said in his heart: "It's a pity. If Xiao Li and the old lieutenant can come together, they can form a black team. ”

The place where the underground school was built is actually the Empress Dowager's Palace that was built at the beginning, but after being rebuilt by the Mo family, it is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of students.

Lin Mo got off the horse with Ying Zheng, and immediately saw the bustling crowd, and countless scholars entered the academy one after another.

Among these scholars were nobles and nobles, as well as some humble scholars.

All bachelors want to change their destiny by studying in an underground school.

In fact, the construction of underground schools is also a weakening of the aristocracy.

You must know that in the past, these children of the nobility occupied more educational resources than ordinary people, so they were naturally easier to get ahead than ordinary people.

However, the easier it is for the children of the nobles to rise to prominence, the more beneficial it is for the nobles, and will make their power even greater.

But it is not a good thing for the royal power, and the aristocracy is too large, which is a threat to the royal power.

Ying Zheng would rather tilt some of his educational resources to ordinary people than watch the aristocracy grow stronger.

Although the new decree had weakened the nobility, the underground schools had further weakened the nobility.

Even if these nobles are dissatisfied, they can't do anything about winning politics.

Who allowed his new policies to completely limit the development and growth of these nobles?

And the underground school provides a fair competition opportunity for all ordinary people in education!

It's like the military merit promotion system, which makes the Han soldiers fight desperately for it, and even Lin Mo, who was born in the market, sees a glimmer of hope for entering the court as an official!

Under such a fair system, meritocracy and meritocracy have become the only criteria for entering the court as officials!

Then the talents recruited by the Qin State are all talents at the top of the pyramid who have passed the rigorous selection!

In this way, in terms of talent and sergeants, the other six countries will be pulled apart by the Qin State.

It only takes a few more years of development, and as the six countries continue to lose talent, all countries will become weaker and weaker, and the Qin State will become stronger and stronger.

At that time, the Qin State will be able to surrender without a fight!

This has also reached the realm of the world that Lin Mo said at the beginning!

Lin Mo looked at the flat road leading to the university, as if he saw a hope to realize his life ideals!

He pulled Ying Zheng and said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, let's go in!" ”
