Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 136 Great Qin! Things have changed!

"Teacher, what you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg."

Li Si said softly, his admiration for Qin Chi revealed in his voice: "Qin Tingwei's inventions are not limited to this. The delicacies you have tasted at my house these days are actually made with the snowflake salt he invented. The salt is pure in texture and delicious in taste, far better than the coarse salt of the past.”

When Xunzi heard this, he couldn't help being shocked again.

He recalled the delicacies he had tasted in his house in the past few days, and the delicious taste seemed to still linger on his tongue.

It turns out that all this is Qin Chi's credit.

"Moreover, Qin Tingwei also invented the lever device."

"This kind of artifact is now helping laborers build the Great Wall on the border. With it, work that originally required dozens of people can now be easily completed by only a few people. This not only reduces most of the manpower and material resources, but also Greatly improved work efficiency.”

Listening to Li Si's narration, Xunzi felt endless emotions in his heart.

Qin Chi is not only a court captain with extraordinary talents and intelligence, but also a great talent who benefits the people of the world.

Each of his inventions directly addresses the needs of people all over the world and brings real convenience and welfare to the people.

"Master, you really deserve a lot of credit!"

When Xunzi heard this, he was even more shocked.

He knew the importance of these inventions to the country, and he also understood Qin Chi's good intentions.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Master is really a genius in this world! His invention not only benefits the country and the people, but also contributes to the prosperity of the country. We should be proud to have such a court captain!"

At this moment, Xunzi was completely impressed by Qin Chi's talent and ambition.

He deeply lamented how lucky and honored he was to be able to meet such an outstanding figure in this era.

……

The next day, the court.

The atmosphere was solemn and majestic. Zulong sat on the dragon platform, looking down. The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

Qin Chi took a deep breath, stood still, and glanced around the ministers present with burning eyes.

He knew that the next words would set off an unprecedented change.

Many people were looking at him, inexplicably shocked by the suggestion he just made.

Especially those clans and powerful men wanted to kill Qin Chi, but they did not dare to say anything due to Zulong's gaze.

"My lords..."

Qin Chi spoke slowly, his voice loud and firm, echoing in the court: "The imperial examination system I mentioned today is to get rid of the old drawbacks and recruit talents from all over the world. In the past, officials were mostly selected based on their family background. As a result, the talented are buried and the mediocre are successful. If this continues, how can the country be strong? How can the people be healthy?"

He paused for a moment and continued: "The imperial examination does not ask about one's origin, but only talent and learning. Regardless of scholars, farmers, industry or commerce, as long as they have real talent and practical knowledge, they can obtain official positions through the imperial examination. In this way, not only can they break the barriers of aristocratic families, Monopoly can stimulate the enthusiasm of scholars all over the world to study and select real talents for the country."

Qin Chi's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word struck the ministers' hearts like a hammer.

Some of them showed approval, while others frowned, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of this new system.

"Moreover, the content of the imperial examination should focus on practical knowledge rather than empty rhetoric. We want to select officials who can govern the country and benefit the people, not literati who can only recite poems and compose poems."

These words caused a commotion in the court.

Some ministers nodded in agreement, thinking that what Qin Chi said was absolutely correct.

Some other courtiers from the clan looked displeased, apparently still having reservations about this new system.

Qin Chi saw it, but he did not waver.

He knew that the implementation of any new system would encounter resistance and difficulties, but he would stick to it as long as it was beneficial to the national destiny of Qin and the people. "My lords, the imperial examination is a major matter for the country and the welfare of the people. I hope that everyone can abandon their prejudices, work together for the future of the Qin Dynasty, and open a fair door for the world's talents!"

Above the court, the atmosphere was as solemn as lead.

Qin Chi's voice echoed in every corner, and his proposal for the imperial examination system was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the shortcomings of the old system.

The officials were whispering to each other and their eyes were twinkling, while Lord Xingyang, Kong Fu and others were even more pale-faced, and their hearts were burning with anger.

They know that if this proposal is passed, it will completely overturn their long-standing position of power.

But I dare not object!

After all, the previous clan rebellion is not over yet!

His Majesty shocked the entire court with his strong bloody aura!

The ministers have become much more low-key and no longer dare to express their opinions for fear of being regarded as standing out.

However, in the center of the storm, Zulong seemed unusually calm.

He was sitting on the dragon platform, his eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see everything.

Every word Qin Chi said touched his heart deeply. He knew that the imperial examination system proposed by Qin Chi was exactly what Great Qin needed.

When Qin Chi finished speaking, the court fell into a dead silence.

All the officials looked at Zulong, waiting for his verdict.

Lord Xingyang, Kong Fu and others clenched their fists, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

They know that His Majesty's decisions will determine their future.

At this critical moment, Zu Long spoke slowly: "Tingwei's proposal is very suitable to my liking. The purpose of selecting scholars through the imperial examination is to recruit talents from all over the world and break the monopoly of aristocratic families. I have decided to fully support and implement the imperial examination system! "

As soon as these words came out, a pot exploded in the court!

Some ministers cheered!

However, the faces of Xingyang Lord, Kong Fu and other clans and powerful men were ashen, and their hearts were filled with despair.

They never expected that Zulong would support Qin Chi's decision so decisively.

The trend is over!

Tingwei is now favored by His Majesty, and it is useless for them to say anything!

Zu Long's eyes swept across everyone in the court, and then fell on Qin Chi.

He smiled slightly and said: "Wei Ting is young and promising, and has quick thinking. He is really a blessing to our great Qin!"

Lord Xingyang, Kong Fu and others were completely desperate.

They knew that with His Majesty's support, Qin Chi's imperial examination system would be unstoppable, and their position of power would also collapse.

At this moment, they truly realized that the world of Great Qin had changed, and they were destined to become victims of this change.

……

Outside Xianyang City, Xiao He was in full swing implementing the administrative decree.

He is well aware of the importance of land surveying, and he also understands the complexity of the entanglements of interests involved.

However, he did not back down, but chose to enforce it with thunderous means.

Xiao He led a group of officials to a local clan's manor.
