Chapter 319 Martial Arts
Newlyweds are always so beautiful and make people forget to leave.
When the two of them are together, they have endless things to say and do.
Both Ying Zheng and the officials were very knowledgeable, and no one came to Yuxuan Pavilion to disturb them.
As time went by, more and more candidates gathered in Xianyang City, exceeding everyone's expectations.
This is also due to the promotion of compulsory education in official schools. This time, the number of candidates who passed the county preliminary examination and came to take the liberal arts examination was as high as 10,000.
More than 80% of them came from poor families. After reading this news in the newspaper, the people were excited about it for a long time.
This is the first time in history that ordinary people have gained such a huge advantage in the proportion of students.
Compared with the liberal arts examination, the number of people who finally arrived in Chengyang City to participate in the martial arts examination exceeded 20,000!
The victory of Da Qin’s martial arts can be seen from this!
After all candidates arrive in Xianyang City, the Royal Academy will be responsible for receiving students who take the literary test. Food and accommodation issues will also be resolved directly at the Royal Academy.
Being able to enter the highest university in Da Qin, although it is only a temporary stay, it also makes students from all over the country very excited.
Especially during the temporary residence period, the library of the Royal Academy is also open to them. The massive collection of books in it allows many students from poor families to study without sleep and food.
Candidates who participated in the martial arts examination were taken to the military camp on the outskirts of Xianyang City to participate in a new round of assessment.
In weightlifting, fighting, riding, archery, and horse fighting, the bottom tenth of the people will be eliminated in each round. Only those at the top in each round of assessment can advance to the next round.
The content of the second round of assessment is a war game. The candidates work in pairs and take turns playing the offensive and defensive sides. The winner moves on to the next round, and the cycle continues.
The fierce competition attracted countless military generals to come to watch the battle. Even Ying Zheng came to the military camp with his civil and military ministers after the morning court.
"With this martial art here, why worry about the heroes of the world not being able to be used by our great Qin."
After watching several fierce horse fighting competitions and sand table deductions, Ying Zheng sighed with emotion.
"Your Majesty, I never thought that there would be so many skilled people in the Qin Dynasty."
"The skilled archers and horses are just those who can charge into battle. What really surprises the old minister is that many of these people know the art of war and battle formations. Although they are still a little immature for the time being, they are all talents who can be made and have a bright future.
Unlimited!"
"This is all thanks to the free official schools and libraries run by His Highness the Crown Prince, which give the common people the opportunity to easily access books. Otherwise, even if these students from poor families are not lacking in talent and have no books to read, they will be a skillful woman who cannot make a living without rice."
!”
Wang Ben, Meng Yi and others also sighed with emotion.
Before this, they only knew that the Qin Dynasty practiced martial arts and that the common people were keen on practicing martial arts, but they did not have a clear understanding of the true level of martial arts.
But now that this martial arts performance was performed, they realized that there were so many talented people in the world.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of the top 500 people after several rounds of assessments. Three days later, they will conduct the final assessment to compete for the top 100 places."
Zhang Han, who also served as a court lieutenant, held a thick roster and handed it over respectfully.
"They are all the future pillars of our Great Qin!"
"These people will be handed over to the prince. They must teach me well and don't bury the talent!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the roster and found that most of the candidates on it were around 20 years old, so he threw the roster directly to Ying Yu, who was dozing next to him.
This group of candidates are similar in age to Ying Yu, and everyone present is clearly aware of Ying Zheng's intentions.
This is cultivating power for His Royal Highness.
"Thank you, Father!"
Ying Yu hesitated for a moment and took the roster from Ying Zheng's hand.
"Whether you can train more generals who are good at fighting for our Great Qin this time depends on your ability."
Ying Zheng smiled and patted Ying Yu on the shoulder.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, I'll give you the man, and you can figure out the rest by yourself.
Ying Yu spread his hands, who made him the crown prince of Qin?
However, Ying Zheng is now in his prime, and he still has a long time to continue being lazy.
If you can talk to Yingying every day, why should you have to work overtime to review memorials?
All the officials nearby also breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince is so good, which is definitely a matter of joy for them.
Although it is inevitable for an emperor to have ministers, his highness the prince will never embarrass old ministers like them when he ascends the throne in the future.
The deepest worries that the officials had hidden in their hearts were completely let go.
"Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Long Qie, Wang Lun!"
"Yu Zi...Ji?
Looking at the series of familiar names on the list of winners, Ying Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Even this group of people were attracted to the martial arts competition. It seemed that his benevolent policies were really effective.
It's just that this Yu Ziji is a bit interesting. Thinking of this, Ying Yu suddenly has a smile on his face.
"Go check this guy out!"
"promise!"
Suzaku on the side took the order and turned around to leave.
"Your Highness, are the people you just read about very famous?"
Nesten asked curiously.
"They are all brave men, among whom Yingbu is the most famous. Yingbu is a descendant of Gaotao and the fifty-ninth generation grandson of Gaotao. He is also a famous ranger in the local area and loves to fight injustices."
"Most of the other people are after famous generals."
"But a few of them are from the original Chu land."
Before Ying Yu could speak, Dun Rui, who was in charge of the Black Ice Platform and responsible for intelligence collection, smiled and explained.
Nei Shiteng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
Even the former Chu generals were willing to serve the Great Qin after they took over the aristocratic family. The entire Great Qin army was really united as one.
With such unity, why worry about the world not being peaceful?
Everyone couldn't help but cast their admiring eyes on Ying Yu.
Without Ying Yu, how could the crisis-ridden Great Qin in the past develop to where it is today?
