Chapter 326 Taking the Country as a Dowry

"Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, he has built many free official schools and libraries, and created the civil and military examination system. This has given us students from poor families the opportunity to rise!"

Fu Kuan, who ranked first in the literary examination and the top scholar in the imperial examination, was so excited that his whole body was shaking at this moment.

Happiness really comes too suddenly. He is the top scholar in the imperial examination. If nothing unexpected happens, his career will be bright, and there is a high probability that he will be recorded in the annals of history and become a person whose name will be passed down through the ages.

"We, who have been named on the gold list, must fulfill our duties and fulfill our responsibilities when we serve as officials in the court. Only in this way can we be worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kindness."

"What this brother said is reasonable. Nowadays, the official education in the counties and counties of Daqin has become more and more perfect. In the next imperial examination, there will definitely be more talents. If we don't work hard, I'm afraid we will be eliminated soon."

Scholars from poor families who had finally managed to get ahead in their career expressed their feelings to each other and couldn't help sighing.

The top three gold list special topic "Da Qin Daily" was also printed in countless copies and spread quickly throughout Xianyang City and extended to all counties in Da Qin.

"Look, most of the people on the final gold list are students from poor families who are well-known throughout the Qin Dynasty, and their answer sheets have also been published!"

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said about fairness and justice is indeed true!"

"Isn't it? Don't you know that His Highness the Crown Prince loves us and the common people the most? Just last month alone, countless corrupt and mediocre officials were found out and prosecuted by His Highness?"

"I hope these Jinshis on the list can learn their lessons, Wen Jinshi learns from His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness and benefit the country, and Wu Jinshi learns from His Highness the Crown Prince to open up territory for the country and strengthen the power of Qin Dynasty!"

"Nowadays, studying has truly become the road to a bright future. You can become a general or a general in both civil and military affairs. There are also various craftsmanships. As long as you master one, the future will be bright!"

"Today's younger generation is much happier than we were back then!"

"Isn't it a good thing that your child is better than you? What's more, with all kinds of literacy training and libraries now, it's still too late for you to read and learn!"

The people in all the counties of Daqin all cheered and jumped for joy.

Facts speak louder than words. Ying Yu, the Crown Prince who was deeply loved by the people of Qin, once again opened up an unprecedented bright road for the people.

Truly, as long as you are willing to study hard and make progress, whether studying Chinese literature or martial arts, whether taking imperial examinations or studying science and engineering, you can get ahead and make yourself and your family live a better life.

Meritocracy, the simplest principle of employment, is vividly reflected in Ying Yu's hands.

Ideas such as "Learning makes people progress, and knowledge is wealth" written by Ying Yu in the newspaper quickly spread throughout the Qin Dynasty and were admired by countless people.

And Ying Yu, who promoted all this and opened up a real upward path for poor families, has become a living saint in the hearts of the people.

...

Xianyang Palace, back garden.

"How is it? How is the reaction of the government and the public regarding this civil and military examination?"

After reviewing the memorial for the day, Ying Zheng stretched his body and asked with concern.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has done a very good job in announcing this. The test papers of all the candidates on the list are completely open to the public."

"Therefore, both the government and the public agree with the final ranking. Even students who fail can find their own shortcomings and go back to sum up their experiences and lessons to prepare for the ranking next year."

"The martial arts candidates have entered the Royal Military Academy, and the Wenbang candidates will go to the Yushitai first. After the training, they will go to various counties and counties in Daqin to assist the Yushitai in inspections."

Liu Shu, the commander of CRRC Mansion, quickly replied.

"good!"

Ying Zheng said something nonchalantly, and then continued:

"If the fairness and impartiality of the civil and military examinations can be continued, it will not only solve the problem of scarcity of talents in Daqin, but also allow the people to see the hope of advancement!"

"If it can last for a hundred years, everyone in our Qin Dynasty will be like a dragon."

As the emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng knew the importance of talents.

He also knew the harm of class solidification to the Qin Dynasty.

It's just that in the past, most of the courts were monopolized by nobles. Ying Zheng was determined to carry out major reforms, but he couldn't find a good plan for the time being, let alone whether his successor would be able to control the situation after he was gone.

However, since Ying Yu's rise, everything has been solved for the best.

The favor order made the nobles' influence in the court much smaller. After several administrative turmoils, the incompetent people were expelled from the court one by one.

The civil and military examination selection system allowed truly talented people to enter the court, and the entire court took on a new look.

On the military general side, the existence of martial arts examinations not only selects a group of famous generals with great potential, but also makes the Great Qin army stronger in combat effectiveness and control in the future.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the Qin-loving education course at Da Qin Military Academy.

These students who were taught by Ying Yu himself must be extremely loyal to the Qin Dynasty and can ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty's thousands of miles of territory.

All these changes due to Ying Yu allowed the Qin Dynasty to continue to take off, and at the same time, it also gave the First Emperor an unreal feeling as if he was in a dream.

Before he knew it, Da Qin had become so powerful that he could not even imagine it.

What Ying Zheng cherishes even more is the direct father-son tacit understanding and family relationship with Ying Yu.

This allowed Ying Zheng to truly have a complete life.

"By the way, what's going on in the west recently?"

Back in the academy, Ying Zheng came to the world map, observed it for a moment and asked.

"Your Majesty, in the recent period, Rome and Carthage have been fighting fiercely, with each other winning and losing. Both countries have suffered considerable losses. Carthage has sent an envoy again, intending to ask for help from our country, the Qin Dynasty."

"As for Macedonia and Ptolemaic Egypt, the two countries are still aware of current affairs and are very actively cooperating with our Daqin craftsmen to build the Suez Canal."

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Seleucus sent a letter a few days ago, asking when the prince will marry their princess.

The most interesting thing is that the information sent back by Jinyiwei Xuanwu said that Seleucid changed Princess Deya to be the heir to the Seleucid royal family."

Zhang Han respectfully told the news he knew.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was slightly surprised.

Although since handing over military command, the Seleucid royal family has actually become a puppet, and it is only a matter of time before it integrates into the Qin Dynasty.

But the Saigu royal family has never expressed its attitude to Da Qin.

Obviously Seleucus was not reconciled.

But King Seleucid's move this time was obviously a compromise.

The princess married the Crown Prince of Qin and became the Crown Prince's concubine, which was a sign of the mutual friendship between the two countries.

But if the princess who married the prince of Qin was still the heir to the Seleucid royal family, the meaning would be different.

The Seleucid king directly gave the entire kingdom as a dowry to the Qin Dynasty.

Although Seleucid will belong to the Qin Dynasty sooner or later, using this method will undoubtedly make it easier for the Seleucid people to accept it.

This is definitely good news for Da Qin.
