Chapter 1: Xiao He

In the palace, Ying Zheng and Wei Yuzi sat opposite each other.

It has been a month since Wei Yuzi paid his respects, and in the past month, Wei Yuzi has also had a more detailed understanding of the top and bottom of Daqin, and the reform is about to begin.

When I came over today, I just specially informed Yingzheng that I was about to start a big move, and if there was no problem, I would start it after I went back.

"Your Majesty, this is the upcoming examination. ”

"According to His Majesty's requirements, the examination is divided into three rounds. The first round of requirements is the easiest, as long as you can write and recognize the characters of the Qin State, you can pass. After training, they can act as commanders. ”

After the reform of the Qin State, the officials of the whole country were divided into nine rank officials and two minor officials.

At the bottom, of course, there are small officials like small shrimps, such as the minions in charge of local security under the pavilion chief, who are small officials, and the lieutenant chief is also at the level of small officials.

Although the petty officials were the most inconspicuous, they were the foundation of the empire's rule over Great Qin. Without them, it would have been impossible for Great Qin to exert its extremely powerful mobilization and ruling capabilities.

"It's just an order and not an official, but it's important. Ying Zheng said.

Familiar with history books, of course, he understands that this seemingly inconspicuous official is the foundation of the empire. If they rot, the empire will no longer be able to penetrate deep into the village and control the place.

The king can rest assured that thanks to the reform of the official system, the criteria for promotion, the criteria for demotion, the tenure of officials, and the retirement system of officials have been explained more clearly. ”

"Even the lowest-level junior officials, as long as they are capable, as long as they have the ability, they can rise all the way up according to the speed of the junior officials, the order officials, the ninth rank officials, and the eighth rank officials. ”

"Even theoretically, even if it is a small official, as long as he does a good job, he is expected to become prime minister one day. Therefore, the travelers of the six countries were excited, and many scholars had already decided to participate in the examination directly, and most of them had some strength. Wei Yizi stroked his beard and said excitedly.

As the prime minister, the great steward of the empire, the stronger the execution ability of the team under his command, the happier he became, especially in this great era of change.

In fact, this move was also very popular with the Legalist bureaucrats up and down the Great Qin, especially those ordinary officials with no background, who were even more ecstatic.

"The second round of assessment is more difficult. Only those who know the Qin law and are proficient in it can pass. After the passer's training, he can directly become an official. ”

"As for the third round of interviews, only a very small number of extremely good talents are eligible to participate in the interview. These geniuses will go directly to Xianyang and be jointly interviewed by the king, my prime minister, the imperial historian and others. ”

"Genius?" asked Ying Zheng.

"Yes, the first two rounds of the examination are for ordinary people, and the third round of interviews is for a very small number of geniuses. ”

"In many cases, a genius can top a thousand or even 10,000 ordinary people. Moreover, dividing the officials below into geniuses and mediocre factions is also more conducive to the Prime Minister's Mansion to govern Great Qin......"

After talking about the examination, Wei Yizi left. It's just that before leaving, he glanced curiously at the chubby landlord standing behind Ying Zheng.

This year, a fat man is a sign of handsomeness and a manifestation of beauty.

Because only the rich can eat fat

Whoever is fat is justified!

And this guy in front of him is a little rich, much fatter than Yingzheng, judging from the style of clothing, he doesn't look like a Xianyang person, but more like a traveler from the Six Kingdoms.

And it's not a scholar from the capital of the Six Kingdoms, but a bit like a turtle from the countryside or the county, is it a great sage who is taught by?

I don't know who this fat man is, and he can be taken by the king to guide him personally. The last one who had this treatment was called Li Si, and now he is already the Shaofu Order of the Fourth Grade.

Feeling Wei Yuzi's curious gaze, the landowner smiled at him. And in my heart, I am up and down, and I am a little worried and a little puzzled.

You said that I was originally a turtle, why did I come to Xianyang, and I also got the king's favor, what do you like about me, the king, can't I change it?

The fat landlord has a very nice name called Xiao He, he was originally a local tyrant in Pei County, and he is really strong in the place.

From the small pavilion chief, to the second-in-command county in the county, there are people from his family everywhere in Pei County.

Since his grandfather, he is a county prince, his grandfather is a county prince, his father is a county prince, and if there is no accident in the future, he will also be a county prince.

Therefore, Xiao He, who was reading a book at the time, refused without hesitation after receiving a solicitation from relevant officials of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Guo wants to make himself an official, and the words of a petty official are not necessary, it is better to be comfortable in Pei County. In Pei County, there are people from the Xiao family up and down, even if the county magistrate does not have the cooperation of the Xiao family, he can't be it!

And the words of middle-level officials are unlikely. Besides, people are cheap when they leave their homes. Without the support of his own forces, this official is not easy to do.

He is not a famous nobleman, even if he becomes a county magistrate, the local tyrants will definitely not buy his account.

As for high-level officials, it is simply impossible for him to be like this! The ancestor of the Xiao family is neither a prince nor a prince, nor has he produced any great talents, where will anyone invite him to be a high-ranking official?

So when he received an invitation from an official of the Qin State for the first time, Xiao He refused without thinking about it. But who knew that night, he met the Tianzi-level killer in front of his bed.

It was a dark and windy night, and after Xiao He entered the house, he lit the candle he bought from the Qin State, and when he turned around, he saw a guy with a masked face and a sword on his back.

Although this guy is masked, the scars on his face and the strength on his body all show that he is not simple.

"I am a heaven-level killer of Luo Net, and I have come to invite you to go to Daqin to be an official, at least a seventh-rank official. ”

"Seven rank officials, if I'm not mistaken, among the reform decrees issued by King Qin, the county orders of small counties are only seven grades, right?"

"You are a talent named by the king, although I don't know where you are brilliant, you can make the king take a fancy to it, let Luo Wang send a heaven-level killer and invite him personally, but the king's order is like this. ”

"When you arrive in Daqin, with the favor of the king, is it difficult for the seven-rank official?" As a talent required by Yingzheng, the Tianzi-level killer also patiently explained.

In this era, for local tyrants, the county order is a hurdle that can never be overcome, if there is no noble person to help.

But how can I, Xiao Hede, directly let King Qin personally give the order, and let the Luo Net Heaven-level killer go out directly?

Xiao He didn't ask this question in his heart, what could he do in the face of the personal invitation of the Luo Net Heaven-level killer? Of course he agreed!

The next day he was very sick, very sick, and on the third day he died, and on the fourth day he saw himself buried.

Then he got into the carriage and set off quietly. After that, he came to Xianyang and met the current Yingzheng.

After meeting, Ying Zheng did not immediately arrange an official position for him, but asked him to follow him all day long as an attendant, and today is the seventh day.
