However, what Zhao Zheng said about not being willing to sell his daughter casually is still unrealistic, because it has been a custom for thousands of years, if you are not allowed to buy and sell girls, then the descendants of the rich family will have no source.

In the end, I had to order that women should not be killed at will because they have merit in giving birth.

After that, people are only allowed to buy and sell women who voluntarily sell themselves, not to abduct and sell women from good families, not to sell them to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and not to mutilate their lives.

The VIP of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion must be a woman who has committed a crime or a family crime and has been confiscated as a lowly status, or a person who has confessed to the crime of lewdness.

Every month, the local garrison officials have to send someone to check the women's cheap status and resume in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and women who have not gone through the official derogatory documents are not allowed to receive customers, and the violators will be severely punished.

Then he decreed that both men and women should be enrolled in school at the age of eight, and that if they left the school before the age of fifteen, their families would be fined and confiscated. Those who go to school after the age of fifteen, both men and women, have to pay a fee.

These decisions are what Yao Xing has been doing, although there is no decree to force them, but all the ministers have accepted this matter and have not caused any fluctuations.

The news that really made a sensation in the court was the imperial examination. The courtiers are already successful and famous dignitaries, as long as the heirs are allowed to study, and the heirs can be allowed to enter the court as officials by dragging people to recommend each other in the future.

But Zhao Zheng suddenly ordered the opening of the imperial examination, which meant that the children of ordinary people could also enter the court and compete for power with them, the children of princes and nobles.

There are so many ordinary people in the world, even if they take one out of ten thousand, they will take most of the cake in the court, which is undoubtedly bad news for them.

The court instantly knelt down a large area, and all kinds of reasons were put forward, almost to say that the opening of the imperial examination was the beginning of the death of the country.

But who is Zhao Zheng, no one can change the decision he made, and immediately pointed out the unworthy descendants of several of the ministers' families, and asked them if they recommended such a person to become an official in the court, did they plan to harm the Great Qin Dynasty?

It's not just that they can buckle their hats, what Zhao Zheng said is more powerful than the entire court, if they have this reputation, it will be a big crime to raid their homes and destroy their families, where can they dare to refute Zhao Zheng's words.

I don't know why the group of courtiers were dizzy, and they even begged Yao Xing, asking Yao Xing to admonish Zhao Zheng, don't let Zhao Zheng be slandered by the villain and miss the country's major affairs.

Yaoxing's face was embarrassed, and he wanted to tell the gushing old man in front of him: The person who offered slander was me.

I didn't have to scold him, after all, he was so old, maybe when Zhao Zheng mentioned retirement in a few days, he would leave the court.

After hesitating for a long time, he only asked one sentence: "Why, does the old man think that the juniors in the family who have been guided by famous teachers since childhood will not be able to compare with those ordinary students?" ”

The old man's face suddenly turned ugly, this kind of thing is said to be confident, and who is willing to put all the effort and effort into what should be taken for granted, once defeated, he will lose face and be laughed at.

They returned from Yaoxing in vain, and they didn't know what to do.

In short, this debate lasted for half a month, and finally the coffin was concluded. In the future, when everyone enters the court, there are only two ways to enter the imperial examination and the army.

Even if there is a courtier's recommendation, you can only ignore the previous Taoist fame and take the final exam with the students. The students who are recommended for reference also have to accept the emperor's questions, and only after passing can they be ranked and enter the court.
