Chapter Ninety-Six: Meritocracy

The opening of the government means that from then on, Zhao Ying has the power to make decisions, including the decisions of some court affairs, and even the rewards and punishments and promotions of his subordinates, which is equivalent to having an independent office.

For the children of the royal family, generally speaking, to open another palace means to move out of the palace and live in another palace by themselves, which is a real independence in the political sense.

Zhao Yinghun shook his head absently.

"No, Ah Weng is not at home, if I am moving out, Ah Yu and my brother and sister will have no ...... to rely on."

The First Emperor glanced at him and nodded noncommittally.

After Zhao Ying left, a smile couldn't help but appear on the face of the First Emperor.

He naturally likes to kill the eldest grandson of the emperor who is decisive and decisive, but why not like the eldest grandson of the emperor who has a touch of human touch?

Zhao Ying was not surprised by this, after all, even if he was the First Emperor, he was also a mortal of flesh and blood, even if he considered the overall situation, he would never want to see his juniors kill each other and fight to the death.

, He really thinks that it is much better to stay in the eldest son's mansion than to go out and live alone, after all, staying in the eldest prince's mansion by himself, he can also borrow the name of his own cheap Ah Weng, although this Ah Weng is really a bit of a pit.

But the name of the eldest son, in this era, really has some appeal.

After all, in the history of the previous life, even if it was a rebellion that had nothing to do with the eldest son, he did not forget to hang the name of an eldest son, and his own righteous eldest son, if he didn't understand how to use this name, it would be really stupid.

After returning from the palace, Zhao Ying went directly to the recruit camp.

Today's recruit camp is a new atmosphere. The maintenance and improvement of weapons are the responsibility of the disciples of the Mo family, and even some defensive measures are also taken care of by the disciples of the Mo family, which has a somewhat new atmosphere.

There were more than 3,000 soldiers, and thirty centurions were in charge.

Zhang Han, apprentice, Chen Sheng, centurions, including the five children of the Meng family, have already led more than 3,000 recruits into the training in full swing.

The march of the procession was still fruitful, and even the archery and horse riding and archery had a completely different atmosphere.

More than 3,000 people, almost without exception, can already gallop on horseback and shoot bows left and right at the same time, which is enough to match the elite cavalry of the Huns. And due to the improvement of weapons, the range of bows and arrows almost exceeded that of the Hun archers by more than twenty paces.

After a month of intensive training, these 3,000 cavalrymen are almost familiar with "Liutao", even "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and they also have a little understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Pull out any of them, and you can start a similar battle formation deduction.

What's even more incredible is that these 3,000 cavalry have a deep understanding of the first emperor's series of actions, and even have a deep sense of awe and admiration.

Many things are like this, before you understand it, you feel that there are all kinds of mistakes, and even take the lead in resisting, but when you understand the deep meaning behind it, you feel that all the opposition is short-sighted and short-sighted!

After Chen Ping's unremitting explanation of "Casting the Soul of the Army" for more than ten days, today's recruit battalion has a deep understanding of the first emperor's far-sighted series of behaviors.

It even produced the illusion that the princes of the court and the central government were just short-sighted.

I also have a deeper understanding of the unique training methods of the recruit battalion, not to mention others, Zhang Han, Tu, Chen Sheng, and even the five brothers of the Meng family are already convinced of what Zhao Ying preached.

Listening to his five own grandsons, swearing to tell him these truths, Meng Wu nodded silently.

"Keep working hard, how can I be a child of the Meng family?"

The old man meaningfully encouraged his grandsons, as the older generation of generals of Great Qin, how could he not understand the series of actions of the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying?

This is clearly brainwashing!

But because of this, he was reluctant to say anything.

As far as his own grandson is concerned, it is naturally a blessing to be brainwashed by the emperor's eldest grandson!

Zhao Ying didn't know that Meng Wu would have these thoughts, he insisted on reading and practicing martial arts every day, and went to the palace to help the First Emperor review some notes that were not too important.

After three months of baptism, Zhao Ying's recruit camp has a completely different atmosphere.

All the recruits can already conduct military exercises decently, and Zhao Ying also unreservedly taught these recruits the art of war that he learned from the old general Wang Qian.

As for the marching in the queue, fighting on the battlefield, and arranging the troops, it is even more effective, even the elite captains in the ordinary military camp may not be able to match these recruits.

Moreover, after nearly two months of training to be full of meat and esophagus every day, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who were growing their bodies had a bit of a magnificent atmosphere at their eyes, and they were a little stronger than the veterans of the ordinary barracks.

The ancients were not born with short bodies, but they were just at the age of growing their bodies, and their nutrition could not keep up.

With the conditions for an open supply of meat, it is strange that it does not last long.

Zhang Liang, who followed Zhao Ying's side every day, looked at this unheard of recruit battalion, and gradually had a serious and even awe-inspiring look in his eyes.

Zhao Ying didn't pay attention to his careful thoughts.

Every day, he studied and practiced martial arts, went to the old general Wang Jian to learn the art of war, went to the palace to help his increasingly lazy father correct the music, and occasionally took time to go to Wang Nan's small courtyard to rub his favorability.

He didn't have the means to coax girls in his previous life, so the means were simple, rough and vulgar, and he almost came to the routines of the male protagonists on those garbage TV series in his previous life.

But the question is, where did Wang Nan experience this?

The Lu man of Daqin, how could he have such a romantic love thread?

was already moved, and when he looked at Zhao Ying's eyes, he was already full of affection, like autumn waves.

For the Qiantou of Daqin, especially the Qiantou of Xianyang, the most talked-about thing is that the emperor's eldest grandson Yingkai Mansion. Now don't talk about the Qianshou of Xianyang, even if it is the six counties of Kanto, the north and south of the river, who doesn't know that this eldest grandson who has successively launched the Huangsun Mill, Huangsun Che, and Huangsun Plow?

With the favor of the first emperor, even when the eldest son Fusu was expelled from Xianyang and rushed to Shangjun, even without an edict, he was not allowed to return, there were still many people who flocked to him and wanted to join the door of the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the emperor's eldest grandson, who had just opened the mansion, launched an unheard-of "meritocracy" selection order, openly and fairly selecting talents, all over the world, regardless of region, regardless of origin, but all really talented scholars can come to Xianyang to participate in the selection through the official gallop.

Regardless of origin, school, or reputation, anyone who wants to join the emperor's grandson must pass the open selection of the emperor's grandson. Everyone, it's the same test paper, is it talent, you show your own ability to speak.

Meritocracy!

As soon as the news came out, the world shook!

In this era, although it is not the era of later generations that only talks about birth and only talks about the family, it still pays great attention to the family and the inheritance of the master and apprentice.

Ordinary people, if they only have talent and learning, and want to seek a way out, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Zhao Ying's move is almost earth-shattering!

Many young talents in the world who are conceited and talented, but have no way out, have set off and rushed to Xianyang.

No matter how many people sing about the Great Qin Empire, and no matter how many people secretly curse the First Emperor for being cruel and tyrannical, the fact is really fragrant! Once the opportunity arises, few can resist the temptation.

Huaiyin County.

On the banks of the Huaishu River.

A tall, well-dressed young man with a long sword hanging from his waist, but with a yellow face and thin muscles, looked at the fish hook in the river with a focused expression.

Seeing that the fish in the river were drifting, and there was going to be a fish to take the bait, I was suddenly overjoyed and subconsciously held my breath.

This is a major event related to my food today.

However, just as he was engrossed and wanted to close the rod, a stone slammed into his hook with a pop, causing a ripple.

After waiting for a morning's food, he suddenly disappeared.

He looked up a little annoyed, but saw a stocky butcher with a meaty face and a knife with a bull's ear in his waist looking at him playfully.

"Han Xin, don't you boast of your skills every day, but now you have a chance - why don't you go, but hide here and fish secretly......"

Before he finished speaking, the stocky and fierce-looking man couldn't help but let out a burst of mocking laughter.

Han Xin put away the fishing rod, calmly looked at the disdainful man, and then bowed deeply with a calm face.

"What is the chance?"

"Knowing that the eldest grandson of the emperor who has the ability to Bo Xiong Zhen and created the emperor's grandson mill, the emperor's grandson's plough, and the emperor's grandson's car, a few days ago, this emperor's eldest grandson has officially opened the palace and is recruiting talents from all over the world——"

Speaking of this, the Zhang butcher couldn't help but let out a playful laugh again, took out an announcement from his back, and threw it directly into Han Xin's face.

"Han Xin, don't you boast every day that you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth? Now I'll give you a chance, if you really have the ability, go and show the uncle-"

After Butcher Zhang finished speaking, he glanced at him with disdain, laughed and turned away.

What Zhang looks down on the most in his life is that he doesn't have this kind of fart ability, but he pretends to brag every day!

I'm whoa—

Butcher Zhang strode away.

Han Xin, who was behind him, calmly wiped the saliva off his face with his eyes, and picked up the official document written on the cloth. When he saw the selection of talents and talents, and the only way to cite a few big words, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, revealing a trace of irrepressible excitement.

tidied up his clothes, and bowed deeply to Butcher Zhang, who had already walked away.

"Thanks for informing—"

Looking at the one behind him, he was serious. Han Xin, who was like the real thing, Butcher Zhang couldn't help but let out a burst of joking laughter again.

"Go quickly, go quickly, lest our small Huaiyin County bury you and other amazing talents-hahahaha......"

Butcher Zhang laughed and walked away.

This Han Xin is really an out-and-out idiot, who wants to be an official and make a fortune and wants to be dizzy!

Han Xin didn't care about this Zhang butcher who was leaving, but carefully put away the fishing rod and walked along the river to the moat of Huaiyin County. Although it was a cold winter, under the moat, there were still some women in coarse linen clothes with cold red and thick hands squatting by the river to rinse their clothes.

Washing clothes for the wealthy was originally a means of livelihood for some women in Huaiyin County.

Although the pay for rinsing clothes for a day is low, it is also a means of earning a living for the women of Huaiyin County.

Seeing Han Xin coming, an old woman who was rinsing clothes raised her head, sighed imperceptibly, and touched a rough porcelain bowl from the side, and inside the porcelain bowl was clear gruel.

"Young man, I didn't catch food today, if you don't dislike it, come and drink this bowl of gruel......"

Ever since he gave this tall young man with a long sword a bowl of gruel a dozen days ago, this young man would come here on time every day at this time to look at him.

Although she was a little unhappy, she still couldn't bear to see such a young man hungry, so these days, even if she eats less, she has to make a bowl of porridge and keep it for this young man who looks very down.

Respectfully took the gruel in the old woman's hand, Han Xin gave a deep salute, then took it up and drank it all, squatted by the river, washed the coarse porcelain bowl, and handed it over respectfully.

"Han Xin thanks the old lady for her kindness - today, I am about to leave for Xianyang to participate in the talent selection of the emperor's eldest grandson, and here, with what I have learned in my chest, I will definitely rise to the top ......"

Speaking of this, Han Xin solemnly bowed deeply to the old woman who made a living by washing clothes.

"The old lady gives you the grace of food, and I don't dare to forget it one day - in the future, I will definitely repay you generously......"

The old lady turned the porcelain bowl and glanced at Han Xin, who was solemn, with an unhappy expression.

"A manly man, you can't support yourself, I see that you are pitiful, so I will give you a bowl of porridge, do you want to covet your return?"

Han Xin didn't reply, and took a closer look, this old woman in coarse linen clothes, with a yellow complexion and thick fingers, gave a deep salute again, and turned to leave.

……

A similar scene is quietly staged everywhere in the world.

After the recruitment order was issued, Zhao Ying threw this matter behind him, after all, Chen Ping was in charge of this kind of thing, and Zhang Liang was on the side, so there was really no need to ask about everything one by one.

His energy is still on the new barracks.

Speaking of recruits, there are not many signs of recruits being young, not only are they forbidden, but they are lined up neatly, and there are already signs of elite veterans in the army between marches.

The three thousand recruits in the new barracks are almost a change every day, which makes Zhao Ying see it in his eyes and be happy in his heart.

This is his real team, the guarantee of survival in death!
