Time flies, time flies.

Three days after the Great War with the Three Kingdoms, the three major sects sent missions to visit Daqin.

The three major sects come from three directions, and the specifications are extremely high.

Not only did there be more than 500 envoys, but there were also three Jindan Ancestors, and each family brought a large number of treasures as a meeting gift.

Three teams came in a majestic way.

Qin Hao did not refuse this, but ate and drank well.

Although Great Qin wanted to establish a dynasty, it had to collect all the population and land of Yunzhou, and it was not even enough.

But in the short term, Qin Hao has no plans to expand.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and he still understands this truth.

What's more, it is easy to defeat the Three Kingdoms, but it is not so simple to completely absorb the Three Kingdoms.

As a result, one party intends to ease the relationship, and the other party does not want to do it now, which can be described as a hit.

The only fly in the ointment was that the three major sects proposed to redeem their captured Jindan powerhouse, but Qin Hao refused without hesitation, which made the faces of the three sect envoys not look good.

Qin Hao didn't care about this.

Besides, it's not that he doesn't want to hand it over, but that those six Jin Dan have long been refined into spiritual liquid by the Jade Rabbit with the Pure Moon Bottle, and they have been given to a few others to help them break through their cultivation.

After the three major sects visited the Qin Kingdom, the hearts of countless families in the Great Qin Kingdom were immediately shocked, and all the bad thoughts were put away.

They all know that today's Qin State is no longer what it used to be, and even the sect cannot decide its life and death in a word.

As a result, all the families began to shrink their spheres of influence and restrain their children.

In the major cities, all the gentlemen disappeared.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the Great Qin Kingdom became unprecedentedly good.

Correspondingly, a talented person went to various places to register, hoping to join the Great Qin court through the imperial examination.

After all, with Daqin's current status, joining the court is equivalent to joining the sect, and once he enters, he is an 'inner disciple'.

November 28, 39,999 in the Tianwu calendar, this is the time set by Qin Hao for the imperial examination, and it is also the first imperial examination of the Great Qin Kingdom.

The imperial examination is divided into four rounds, the first round is the county examination, the second round is the county examination, the third round is the prefectural examination, and the fourth round is the palace examination.

The first round of county examinations was held in various cities, and the purpose of the examinations was to select most of the mediocre talents.

After the county examination, there is the second round of the county examination, which is the real round of examination for selecting talents.

Those who pass the examination can enter the court as officials.

The third round is the prefectural examination, and the candidates who have passed the county examination will be screened to select the more outstanding ones.

As for the fourth round of the temple examination, there is a huge difference from the first three rounds.

There is no limit to the number of people in the first three rounds, but only 100 people are recruited in the palace examination.

Among these hundred people, as long as there is no accident, they will definitely be able to occupy a high position in the kingdom, even if they become the chief of a place such as the county guard and the governor of the palace, it may not be impossible.

More importantly, the examiner for this round will be Qin Hao himself.

What does this mean?

In ancient China, that was the protégé of the Son of Heaven, who was born with the mark of the monarch, and was feared everywhere he went.

Yunyang City, which is a medium-sized city, is also classified as a county seat by Qin Hao.

At this moment, in a huge courtyard in the city lord's mansion in the center of Yunyang City, tables and tables were neatly placed.

At the moment, most of the tables are sitting with people, writing seriously.

There are also some tables with pen, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., but there is no one.

This is to take the exam in the future after registration.

It's like a huge exam room.

Outside the examination room, a soldier wearing battle armor and holding a sword patrolled with a serious expression.

Once the imperial examination starts, no one is allowed to enter or leave, this is the rule set by Qin Hao.

"How difficult is this question?"

"It's actually only the lowest-level county exam?"

"What is the foundation of a county? Is it an army? It should not be. Could it be that it is a warrior, only with a warrior can there be strength, and only then can a place be safeguarded?"

The candidates were constantly pondering and meditating.

They had never seen or thought about these questions.

After all, it is too far for the average student to talk about the roots of a place.

The ancients said that the people are the foundation of the country, and only some people can give birth to geniuses, form an army, and some people can have warriors, so they must be people."

A young man with a thin figure and a sallow face, who knew at a glance that it was caused by long-term malnutrition, had extremely bright eyes.

There are a total of five questions in the county examination, and the examination time is two hours, and the paper can be submitted in advance.

With a manuscript in his heart, the boy began to write hard.

After an hour, the boy stopped writing and double-checked what he had written, and when he found that there was no problem, he folded the paper and put it on the table.

The front side of the test paper is facing up, and there is a name written on it - Zhang Baihao.

Time passed quickly, and one candidate kept walking out of the examination room.

When the time for the exam came, there were still more than a dozen candidates left in the exam room.

They frowned one by one, "Alas, it seems that this imperial examination has nothing to do with us."

The crowd sighed.

They all came from poor families and regarded the imperial examination as a ladder to rise.

After all, now that no one knows the entire Great Qin, the Great Qin Kingdom is strong, and the Jindan Ancestor is in charge, even if the three major sects have the Jindan Ancestor being killed by the Great Qin powerhouse, they have to swallow their anger, and even take the initiative to send someone to Daqin to release their good intentions.

......

In the imperial study room of the Great Qin Palace, Qin Hao looked at the fold in his hand and asked Wei Zhongxian, "Is the name of the candidate decided?"

"It has been determined," Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, "In the land of the Five Prefectures of Great Qin, a total of 98,722 candidates have registered."

"However, many of these candidates are indiscriminate, and about 30% of them have real talents."

"There are three good achievements"

Qin Hao bowed slightly.

Of the more than 98,000 people, there are nearly 30,000 people.

Putting these 30,000 people all over the Great Qin Kingdom will definitely increase the control power exponentially.

"By the way, the supervision of the person who marked the exam has already been arranged, right?" Qin Hao asked again.

Now there is a lack of available people under him, and the entire one hundred and twenty cities of the Qin State, with a total of nearly 100,000 candidates, except for some who have signed up for various reasons and have not taken the exam, the number of exam papers will not be less than 80,000.

If all of these test papers were handed over to Zhang Juzheng and others for review, even if they cultivated to a high level, it would be difficult to complete them.

Therefore, Qin Hao decided to select people from the local city for approval.

"All arrangements are in place" Wei Zhongxian nodded, "In all the cities, all the people who read the papers have been gathered in one place as early as half a month ago, and there are Tianyan guards to monitor them at all times to ensure that they do not dare to engage in favoritism."

"That's fine" Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The county exam will start in a month, so the results of the county exam must be announced within three days."

Many of the candidates for the imperial examination are children of poor families, and they must be given enough time to prepare.

"Obedience"

"Besides, how is the information of the former officials of the major cities being investigated by this king?"

"It's almost all done," Wei Zhongxian bowed slightly.

"Integrate it into a book as soon as possible and hand it over to this king," Qin Hao said.

In addition to the imperial examination, he did not plan to abandon the original officials of the Qin State.

After all, those people are all from wealthy families, and their breadth of knowledge is naturally far beyond that of ordinary poor children.

But he didn't plan to use it indiscriminately.

Every official must go through a rigorous scrutiny.
