Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 81: With the advent of the imperial examination system, can we still select talents in this way? Xiao He admires Lin Xuan deeply!
"After my father unified the six kingdoms, he implemented the system of prefectures and counties in Da Qin."

"The imperial examination system is to hold literary examinations in the county."

"Those who excel in the literary test will be asked to go to the county town to take the literary test again."

"The outstanding ones from the county and city are asked to go to Xianyang City to take the final literary test."

"Those who excel in the examination will be selected by the Emperor himself."

"Those selected by Emperor Father can become ministers of Great Qin."

"Among the people with no background in Da Qin, some are capable."

"It's just that they lacked an opportunity to perform. The emergence of the imperial examination system gave these people an opportunity."

"In this way, they can rely on their own abilities to defeat generals and be selected by their father to become ministers of Great Qin."

Fusu looked at Xiao He and briefly explained what the imperial examination system was.

"Pfft!"

Xiao He failed to sit firmly and fell to the ground, staring at Lin Xuan who was sitting there with a calm expression.

Just now Xiao He was wondering what the imperial examination system was, but Fusu explained it.

Xiao He was very shocked. He had never thought of such a method.

Xiao He felt very good about the imperial examination system that Fusu just mentioned.

Such a system was thought up by Lin Xuan, and Xiao He was very shocked.

How did this young man come up with such a powerful strategy?

"Sir, are you okay?"

Fusu looked at Xiao He who fell to the ground and stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother Lin Xuan, the imperial examination system you proposed is really awesome."

"Many people with ability but no background have the opportunity to be selected by His Majesty to become ministers of the Qin Dynasty through the imperial examination system to fulfill their ambitions."

"This way, Da Qin won't have to worry about the lack of talents."

"Xiao He admires Brother Lin Xuan very much."

Xiao He grabbed Lin Xuan's arm with excitement on his face.

Now that he knew about the imperial examination system, he was very excited.

Many people like him who are unable to realize their ambitions have the opportunity to realize their ambitions.

"Brother Xiao He, you should calm down!"

Lin Xuan looked at Xiao He grabbing his arm excitedly, with a wry smile on his face.

He guessed that Xiao He would be excited when he heard about the imperial examination system, but he didn't expect to be so excited.

"Cough cough!"

Xiao He had a hint of embarrassment on his face when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He released his hands holding Lin Xuan's arms and sat down again.

Fusu, who was sitting aside, had a smile on his face. He understood Xiao He's behavior just now.

The first time he heard his teacher mention the imperial examination system, he was also very excited.

Xiao He, who was sitting on the stone bench, suddenly frowned, looked at Lin Xuan and Fu Su and said:

"Brother Lin Xuan's imperial examination system can indeed select many talents, which is not good news for the ministers in the court."

"After the ministers in the court know about the imperial examination system, they will inevitably interfere with it."

"Presumably these ministers will find ways to make the younger members of the family become the selected outstanding ones."

“As a result, many people with ability but no background will be left out.”

"A lot of the talents selected by Da Qin will be lost."

After Xiao He finished speaking, there was a depressed look on his face.

He felt that the imperial examination system was very good, and Xiao He also understood that the ministers in the court would also obstruct him.

As a result, the imperial examination system will be able to select far fewer talents.

When Fusu heard Xiao He's words, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"Sir, you are really good. You can see through the shortcomings of the imperial examination system at a glance."

"A few days ago, the teacher also told Fusu about the shortcomings of the imperial examination system. The teacher has already thought of a way."

"Let my father choose a chief invigilator to be responsible for the imperial examination system." "All candidates who come to Xianyang City will be personally selected by the chief invigilator."

"The qualified ones can take the literary examination, and then the emperor will select talents from these candidates to become ministers of the Qin Dynasty."

"The chief proctor must be firm-minded and not be tempted by benefits."

"We also need to understand the situation of candidates who have ability but no background. Only in this way can the invigilator be qualified."

After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Xiao He with a smile on his face.

Xiao He was stunned when he heard Fusu's words, and soon realized that there was excitement on his face.

"Brother Lin Xuan is very thoughtful, as long as there is no problem with the person who is the invigilator."

"This can prevent those ministers from using tricks and select more talents for Da Qin."

Xiao He looked at Lin Xuan with a trace of respect on his face.

In his opinion, Lin Xuan's method seemed simple, but it was very practical.

"Brother Xiao He is ridiculous, since Brother Xiao He also thinks that a chief invigilator is needed."

"Brother, who do you think is the most suitable person to be the chief invigilator?"

Lin Xuan looked at Xiao He with a smile on his face.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He did not expect Lin Xuan to ask him this question.

After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Xiao He looked at Lin Xuan and Fu Su and said:

"In terms of knowledge, Pu She Chunyu Yue is the best candidate."

"But Chunyu Yue has always valued interests and is very close to many ministers in the court."

"This person values ​​his own interests and the interests of his family, and doesn't care whether Da Qin can select outstanding talents."

"If Chunyu Yue is allowed to become the chief invigilator, the imperial examination system will be in vain."

Xiao He mentioned Chun Yuyue's name with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He knew very well that Chunyu Yue would become the chief invigilator.

Those who were selected were either Confucian children or young people from the families of ministers in the court.

Those talents without background and ability will almost never be selected by Chunyu Yue.

Lin Xuan's lips slightly raised when he heard Xiao He's words, but he didn't say anything to disturb him.

Xiao He continued: "Prime Minister Li Si also walked step by step to become the prime minister of Qin."

"Li Si will sympathize with those candidates who have no background and ability."

"As Prime Minister Li Si, he will not be attracted by money, but after all, Li Si has been an official in Daqin for many years."

"With other ministers coveting his position as prime minister, Li Si must hope to have ministers who support him in the court."

"I feel that the talents selected by Li Si may be people who support him."

"As a result, the selection effect of the imperial examination system will be much worse."

"But Li Si and Chunyu Yue must be better. Xiao He thinks that Li Si can only be the chief invigilator."

When Xiao He said this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

He was not optimistic about Li Si or Chun Yuyue becoming the chief invigilator, but if Xiao He was asked to choose him, he could only choose Li Si.

Lin Xuan and Fusu looked at each other and smiled after hearing Xiao He's words. Xiao He saw this scene.

"Brother Lin Xuan, young master, do you two think there is anything wrong with what Xiao He just said?"

Xiao He looked at Lin Xuan and Fusu with a trace of confusion on his face. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he just said.

But the smiles on the faces of Lin Xuan and Master Fusu made Xiao He wonder if he had said something wrong.

"Brother Xiao He is worrying too much. What you said just now is right."

"If between Li Si and Chun Yuyue, choose one to become the chief invigilator of the imperial examination system."

"Li Si is better than Chunyu Yue, but has Brother Xiao He ever thought about choosing someone besides the two of them to be the chief invigilator?"

Lin Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Xiao He and said.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and then there was a trace of confusion on his face.
