A mansion shop in the city.

It was late at night, and Zhang Liang was resting in the store.

He had been in Xianyang for several days.

In the past few days, I have been busy inquiring about news in the city, but I have not heard much news, and it can even be said that there is no useful news, and the rumored 'Mr. Zhong' has not revealed much information at all, not only the people around do not know, but even some peddlers and pawns are not clear, which is really a bit unexpected by Zhang Liang.

Why is someone who should be famous so unknown?

But.

He wasn't anxious yet.

He had only been in Xianyang for a few days, and now there was enough time to be anxious, and he had heard another thing along the way, something that made his heart tremble.

Fusu issued a merit-seeking order.

When he heard the news, Zhang Liang instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

When he finished reading this edict posted in various cities, his eyes showed a long-lost panic and uneasiness, not panicked and uneasy about the order itself, but panicked at Qin Ting's current unreasonableness.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

The same is true at this moment.

The various measures taken by the Qin court before were somewhat traceable.

It didn't deviate too much either.

As for the follow-up so-called 'non-commissioned officer transfer', it is actually the set of Qin Jungongjue, but the original conditions have been further lowered, and now this merit-seeking order is completely a 'new deal'.

It can't be said that it is pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, it is completely erected.

Unique.

In the past, the world sought talents, and they all sought to be great sages, and they also sought to be scholars, but Fusu did the opposite, although it was nominally a sage, but in fact it was clearly a 'scholar' and not a sage, which completely deviated from the conventions of the world in the past hundreds of years.

As for the impact, Zhang Liang did not dare to predict.

I can't make an evaluation.

Because before each policy is introduced, no one can predict the final result, maybe it is good, maybe it is bad, even if he thinks he is incomparably talented, he really doesn't dare to judge it lightly, but he also knows in his heart that this order for talent has an extraordinary shock to the world, because Fusu has further lowered the standard of 'scholar'.

This move will undoubtedly arouse the wrath of the world's 'scholars'.

At the same time, it will also arouse the excitement and ecstasy of many low-level 'scholars'.

On the way to Xianyang, he had already seen many groups of 'scholars' who went to Xianyang.

He could already foresee that in a few days, Xianyang would become extremely lively, but Zhang Liang was also a little puzzled, so he could really attract useful people? With those poor people who can read a few books and know a few words, can they really open up the situation for Daqin?

He was skeptical.

Meanwhile.

He also knew in his heart that with Fusu opening this precedent, the status of the class of scholars in the future will be further lowered, and with Fusu's merit-seeking order in front, if someone issues a merit-seeking order in the future, I am afraid they will compare it with this time.

The initiator, what is the aftermath?

At present, the impact of this merit-seeking order on the world's scholars has not yet been revealed, and when this grand event is over, and there are really scholars who have been promoted to high positions through this, they will definitely be widely praised and yearned for by the world, and then the arrogant and disdainful 'scholars' will be criticized by others, and in the long run, the dignity of the scholar's identity will no longer exist.

unless

The extravaganza was just a farce.

Anticlimactic, or even directly out of the question.

Is it really possible?

Zhang Liang shook his head.

It's almost impossible.

If he didn't guess wrong, this meritocracy order was not really from Fusu, but from the behind-the-scenes chess player, this person is very thoughtful, and has a lot of calculations, every time he makes a move, he will definitely get something, and this time he has not been deliberately targeted, and it is not easy to become a farce.

It's just that Zhang Liang is also very curious, what is this person trying to do?

Name?

He's been inquiring for the past few days.

Even the matter of the 'official mountains and seas' that made this 'Mr. Zhong' famous in the first place, after some inquiries in the city, almost most of the people in the city did not know who this Mr. Zhong was, and the only thing that could be said was that there was a prince Fusu, and Meng Yi, who surprised them, and even shouted grievances for it.

And the real initiator, like a glimpse, was quickly forgotten by the world.

If you ask for a name, how can you do this?

For this.

He even deliberately brought up this Mr. Zhong, wanting to see the impression of the people in the city of the city on this person, but the result he got also made Zhang Liang a little stunned, the only thing these people have the impression is that this person is a 'slave', or a domestic slave of the royal family, and even many people think that this person is a good fortune to meet His Royal Highness, otherwise there will be no chance to come out at all, and there is also an exaggeration of Qin's eclectic talent.

It's just that after this investigation, Zhang Liang is even more confused.

What is this person's mind, he is so indifferent to fame and fortune, if he is really a slave, with the system of Great Qin, he may have already broken away from the lowly status, and with his own calculations, it is enough to become famous, and now he is still not famous, and there is no resentment at all, which is not at all similar to the slave he imagined.

Slaves are desperate to climb up, to get rid of their lowly status.

I also want to seek more fame and fortune.

This man seems to have no desires or desires.

This made Zhang Liang a little incomprehensible.

Zhang Liang touched his chin and said in a condensed voice: "From the news I heard now, this person currently lives in the city, and it seems that because of his identity, there are special people around to supervise him, but some time ago, the officials of Xianyang targeted this person, I am afraid that it is not groundless, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret, but unfortunately I don't know the officials in Xianyang, otherwise I can inquire." ”

"But no matter what, I want to meet this person."

"Only when you meet in person can you know whether all this is from this person's hands, and you can also know the real intentions of this person, know yourself and know that the other side will win all battles, such an amazing person, but for the tiger, it is really a pearl secret investment."

Zhang Liang shook his head.

He sat on the bed, listening to the whispers coming from outside, and sighed secretly, now Xianyang City is becoming more and more lively, and there are many 'scholars' from all over the world in the mansion where he lives, these people, he has also paid attention to in private, and there are not many scholars, but more of a rogue and reckless atmosphere, which can't help but make Zhang Liang cry and laugh.

For this upcoming event, Zhang Liang was not interested in the slightest, and he had no idea of participating in it under an impersonation.

The only thing on his mind now is to find out the details of this 'Mr. Zhong' as soon as possible, and if he can, maybe he will persuade him to stop helping him to abuse him.

It's late at night.

Zhang Liang took off his clothes and fell asleep.

Yonggong.

Compared with Zhang Liang's consternation, Fusu was also a little caught off guard.

As far as he heard the news, under the order of this recruitment, there were too many people who came to Xianyang, far beyond his expectations, this situation, not only Fusu did not expect, Zhang Cang, who had been with him before, also did not expect it, the two of them have been busy with this in the past few days, but they still haven't figured out how to deal with it.

There are too many people!

This is not tens or hundreds, but tens of thousands.

Such a huge number will also be a big test for the security of Xianyang, so in the past few days, he has complained a lot for the courtiers, but for these complaints, Fusu can only smile awkwardly, and dare not show any dissatisfaction, but he also feels powerless in his heart.

He discussed it with Zhang Cang and decided to go to Ji Heng to discuss.

After all, this is the method proposed by Ji Heng, and Ji Heng should have estimated the current situation.

Think about it.

Fusu said loudly outside the palace: "Wei Sheng, go and prepare the carriage and horses immediately, I want to go out of the palace." ”

Finally.

Fusu added: "Try not to attract attention." ”

After the order, Fusu walked around the room alone, still thinking about how to deal with these nearly 10,000 people, this is not a small number, once it is not handled well, it may cause turmoil to Xianyang, and how should he settle it?

He had to think about it.

And with so many people, how should they be selected?

All of this has plagued Fusu, making Fusu difficult to sleep and eat recently.

Half an hour later.

Fusu arrived at Ji Heng's residence.

Ji Heng is enjoying the cool in the courtyard at the moment, and the folding fan made out of nowhere is being fanned, bringing up a cool wind, and Fusu originally proposed to find a few maids or attendants to serve Ji Heng, but they all refused for Ji Heng.

Seeing that Ji Heng's attitude was so resolute, Fusu did not insist anymore.

Admission.

Fusu arched his hand and said, "I've seen Mr." ”

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu lightly, pointed to the mat next to him, and said lazily: "Find a place to sit by yourself." ”

Fusu nodded.

He sat down on the side, it was not too late, and Fusu didn't want to delay it for too long, so he got straight to the point: "Mr. Ji, the order you put forward to seek talent has tired me a lot, and now it is in Guanzhong, and nearly a thousand people are coming, if you count the Kanto, not to mention nearly 10,000 'scholars' who came this time, at least five or six thousand people are indispensable." ”

"With such a large number, how do I choose?"

"In the past, how could there be such a big battle for talents, even when it was the ancestor of filial piety, there were only dozens or hundreds, and this is already very good, but it still can't be compared with the talent search order I issued this time, this number is too much."

Fusu smiled bitterly.

He was genuinely anxious about it.

This time, he issued a merit-seeking order.

If he messes up, it will be a great blow to his reputation as a Fusu, and if he is alienated from scholars, it will be much more difficult to recruit talents in the future.

Ji Heng chuckled, looking light.

He teased, "What are you anxious about? Isn't it a good thing that there are more people? Doesn't it accentuate your personality? ”

Ji Heng couldn't help but tease.

Fu Su scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Sir, don't make fun of me, if it's just a hundred people, I may be very happy, but there are too many people who came this time, once it is not handled well, I am afraid that not only will it not be effective, but it will also suffer." ”

"I'm worried right now."

Ji Heng shook his head and said slowly: "You don't understand the true meaning of this recruitment, the past merit-seeking orders were all issued by the monarch, asking for officials, and taking the elite among the scholars, but you are just a prince, and you can't be the same as the monarch, so you are taking the public route." ”

"Take the Warriors from the Crowd!"

"There is a world of difference between taking officials from the public and taking from the public."

"You can't be treated the same."

"More people are not a bad thing, the more people the greater the screening efforts, and only then can a few talents be really selected from them, as for what you are worried about, in fact, there is no worry at all, you think these people are too high, these so-called 'scholars', are they really scholars?"

Ji Heng's eyes were cold.

Fusu was stunned.

Ji Heng continued: "The order you issued to seek talents does not look at your background, does not look at your family, or even your identity, and in the past, the first thing you looked at was your identity. ”

"It's a disruption."

"Subverting the elite line that prevailed in the world in the past."

"Switch to the general public route."

"These are two completely different choices, but they are secretly in line with Daqin's system."

"Da Qin doesn't have any opinion on his background, as long as he can achieve military merits, he can go further, and this talent seeking order is actually the same."

"And this is the talent route that the Great Qin system should have."

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He knew that Ji Heng's suggestion must be insightful.

Ji Heng's suggestions are often based on the actual situation, and they are also more in line with the existing system of Daqin.

But is this method of selecting talents really feasible?

The difference between taking officials from the public and taking from the public is too great.

Scholars are aristocrats, they are full of books, so they have more foresight and ideas, these people are often more effective in the world, and taking scholars from the public, that means that these people may not be 'scholars' before, but after some screening, they selected some relatively good 'people' and regarded them as 'scholars'.

But after all, 'people' are not 'scholars'.

Can they really replace or be competent as 'scholars'?

Fusu was suspicious.

on this.

Ji Heng didn't explain too much, Fusu has the imprint of this era, and is also deeply influenced by the past 'Shiqing' thoughts, so he will naturally subconsciously look up to 'Shi', but the culture of 'Shi' is incompatible with the Qin system, and forcibly following it will only outweigh the losses.

The foundation of the Qin system is the law.

And the foundation of the Qin law lies in the officials.

It is an official, not an official.

Officials are the most important existence under the Qin system.

It's just that compared with officials, officials are more nameless.

The military merit system founded by Shang Ying is to use administrative means to strengthen the inequality between social classes, and always remind the superiority of the upper echelons and the inferiority of the people at the bottom, but it is worth noting that 'strengthening' is by no means 'solidified', and even on the contrary, the system created by Shang Ying is the most circulating system of the current social class.

Even if he is a minister, as long as he can get the title, he can also worship the marquis.

It's just that the system created by Shang Yang is only suitable for wartime, once it is out of wartime, this system will die directly, there is no channel for class mobility, there is no room for growth, it is extremely dangerous for a high-pressure empire like Daqin, so if you want to improve the system of Shang Ying, you must not only solve the shortcomings of military merit, but also solve the problem of mobility of the upper and lower classes.

In the past, it was a military lord who relied on it.

In the future, we can only rely on 'taking officials'.

However, the Great Qin was founded for ten years, and it still followed the old way, that is, the school route, and the elite route, but the military merit system was for all Qin people, and the elite line was obviously aimed at a small number of people, only a small number of people could get promotion space, and most people could only fall into the same state of death, such a repressive society would definitely have big problems.

It's just as easy to solve.

Flow.

If you want to directly implement the 'imperial examination' and 'civil service system' in later generations, it is obviously not enough for the current situation of Great Qin, so you can only slowly relax the standard of 'taking officials' step by step, and gradually loosen the restrictions for the Qin people, so that they can see hope again.

Therefore, this recruitment is particularly important.

This is the first step!

After two days of opening, I began to recover three shifts next month, and I gained almost four pounds in a week, which was seriously overloaded.
