Chapter 20

"By the way, send some more people to the No. 36 Medical Hall in Fangshi."

"The owner of the clinic is surnamed Qin, investigate his origin clearly."

"Dig out all the information about him from birth to the present!"

"Don't let him find your tracks."

"Within three days, I want to see all the results!"

The black figure stood up and left without saying a word.

This black figure is one of Zulong's biggest trump cards!

Even his most trusted Wang Jian and Zhao Gao didn't know their existence.

Selected from the most elite troops in Daqin, each of them is a strong general who can be used against a hundred.

Once selected, all traces of existence will be erased immediately.

Only to defend the Great Qin King in the shadows.

Daqin, protect the dragon guard!

Zulong watched the dragon guard disappear, and the excitement that had just calmed down in his heart began to appear again.

Hanzhong County is a name deeply hidden in his heart.

There, the only happy time in his life is treasured, and there is also the only woman he has ever loved in this life.

He still remembered that woman's beautiful profile in the setting sun.

And the tenderness contained in those eyes.

"is it you……"

His thoughts drifted away.

Then, he woke up suddenly again.

How could it be such a coincidence?
Hulongwei's going here is just a waste of effort for the little event in his heart.

He is the ancestor dragon, the first emperor, and the first king of China to unify the Central Plains.

Everyone knows that Qin Shihuang was obsessed with longevity.

Even, in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall, alchemists had a higher status than ministers!

why?
Because Zulong is afraid of death.

But in fact, what he was afraid of was not death itself.

But after his death, the decline of the Great Qin!

Of the nearly twenty sons of the first emperor, none of them became successful.

Not to mention expanding the territory like Zulong, there is not even a successful king.

Young Master Fusu is too weak, he believes in Confucianism...

Young Master Hu Hai is just a spoiled child, and he may even tamper with the will...

Young Master Gao is unremarkable in the families of ministers, but he is actually ranked third among the princes...

In this case, how can Zulong die with peace of mind?

It is true that he seeks longevity.

But that doesn't mean he's really stupid.

Otherwise, who is the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum built for?
How he hopes that there will be a successor to Daqin!

Qin Mu, although it is not, please give me a few days of hope...

Then, Zu Long thought of the imperial examination system.

The problem that had troubled him for many years was actually solved by Qin Mu in a few words!

It is not that no one has thought of replacing nobles with poor scholars.

But no one ever knew how to do it.

And Qin Mu not only knew what to think, but also how to do it.

He described it as if he had seen it himself.

Even some loopholes can be plugged in advance.

Zulong is very satisfied with such a talent in the world.

"By the way, the imperial examination system still needs to be prepared and implemented as soon as possible."

"Mu'er said that the previous imperial examinations might not be effective."

"Only when the imperial examinations are held several times on a large scale and the people see the hope in them, will they start studying on a large scale."

"So, the sooner the better."

Zu Long quickly identified several candidates in his mind, and sent someone to call them into the palace.

Zu Long did not choose Li Si, Meng Yi and others.

Everyone has their own position.

And the position they stand on is the great aristocracy that the imperial examination system will eliminate.

In terms of government affairs, they are of course capable and hardworking.

In terms of loyalty, they are loyal, as long as the first emperor speaks, they can die for the country immediately.

But a person's field of vision is limited by his position.

Even if they saw the benefits of the imperial examination system, they could only desperately oppose it.

Because, they are not for themselves, but for the families behind them and the hundreds of thousands of vassals.

This time, Zu Long was looking for a few ministers in the Shichaotang who were born as civilians.

Being able to climb here bit by bit from the bottom, they know the difficulties of the bottom people best.

"The so-called imperial examination system is to change the original selection of talents based on family background and blood lineage to the selection of talents based on knowledge and ability..."

Zulong is now learning and selling, and introduced the imperial examination system that Qin Mu said.

Of course, he kept an eye out.

He didn't mention the anti-cheating methods that Qin Mu talked about later.

The ministers are all human beings, if it is said in advance, if someone targets the layout, it will not be effective.

In fact, there are also such problems in the imperial examination system of later generations.

Even after the copying law and obfuscation law were implemented, there were still several large-scale fraud cases in the examination room.

The veteran who thought he was in his 70s stood up tremblingly and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the design of this imperial examination system is a genius!"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, where is this method presented by an expert?"

In fact, his heart is like a mirror.

There are only a few people in the whole world who are capable of proposing the imperial examination system.

It is impossible for Li Si and others to betray their origins.

Then, the person who proposed it is about to come out...

The veteran was a little relieved that he had figured it out so quickly.

The others are still thinking carefully, and they have already flattered His Majesty...

Zu Long's heart moved slightly: "Well, this imperial examination system was proposed by me after thinking about it yesterday..."

It's a little guilty.

After all, should this be regarded as impersonating Qin Mu?

In case Qin Mu finds out about this in the future...

Do you have to die again?
Huh?Why say it again?

At this moment, the old man knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Zulong feels relieved.

It was Qin Mu who contributed, but he was the one who showed his holiness in front of others. Isn't this a white ticket?
White tickets are cool!
The old minister knelt for a while, and found that other people did not kneel with him, and immediately realized that the matter was not simple.

Zulong also realized something at this time.

"Fei Qing, do you have anything to say?"

Fei Er cupped his hands and said, "I do have something to say, but it's not about agreeing, but opposing."

"You object?"

Zu Long's face turned cold.

He deliberately didn't hand in Li Simengyi, but picked a few ministers from poor families.

It's just that I didn't expect that the imperial examination for the poor family would still receive opposition from the poor family minister.

Could it be that the hands of those nobles have stretched so long?
"Tell me why."

"Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial examination is based on talent to select scholars, but where does this talent come from?"

"Nature comes from a book."

Fei Er calmly asked, "Where is the book?"

After hearing these words, Zu Long immediately understood the reason for the objection of these people.

The old minister also reacted at this time.

"If you want to take the imperial examination, you must study."

"But how can ordinary people afford books?"

Daqin's books are still bamboo slips.

Not to mention the trouble of burning, a book can cost dozens or even hundreds of catties.

Not to mention buying it, even if it is free, ordinary people have nowhere to put it.

What's more, it must be insect-proof and moisture-proof.

The common people couldn't afford books, and if they wanted to take part in the imperial examination, they could only borrow books from nobles' homes.

After coming and going, he became an aristocrat again.
