Chapter 88 Imperial Examination Reform

"I believe that as long as we have talent and wisdom, there is nothing that we cannot overcome."

"Xiao He, I hope you can stay and lend me a hand."

Fusu spoke after a long time.

When Xiao He heard this while standing in front of Fusu, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He stood up and bowed.

"Sir, you trust me so much, how can I let you down?"

"I am willing to stay and face challenges together with you, and do my best for the future of Daqin."

After hearing this, Fusu showed a relieved smile on his face: "Okay, with your help, my confidence has doubled."

"Next, we need to formulate a series of reform measures to select and train more talents."

Xiao He nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sir, I think we can start from two aspects."

"First, we need to strengthen the selection and assessment of officials to ensure that only capable and talented people enter the court."

"Second, we should focus on cultivating young talents and reserve more strength for the future of Daqin."

After hearing this, Fusu nodded repeatedly: "Your suggestion is very good, this is exactly what I want to say."

“Next, we will work hard in this direction.”

"Xiao He, what do you think are the drawbacks of our current official selection system?"

Fusu asked the question first, and his eyes revealed his desire for reform.

Xiao He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The current selection system relies more on inheritance and recommendation."

“While this has its own stability, it also limits the chances of truly talented people emerging.”

Fusu nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "You are right."

So, what do you think if we could have a system that gives everyone the opportunity to strive for an official position through their own efforts? "

Xiao He heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Young Master, what do you mean..."

"Imperial Examination." Fusu uttered two words and looked at Xiao He with burning eyes.

"Talents are selected through examinations, regardless of their background, only their ability."

Xiao He's breathing became rapid, and he felt the passion and power in Fusu's words.

"This... this is indeed a bold idea!"

"If it can be implemented, it will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of scholars to study and select more talented and knowledgeable people for the country."

Fusu smiled slightly and continued.

"Not only that, the imperial examination can also break the monopoly of aristocratic families and give more children from poor families the opportunity to display their talents."

After hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but applaud.

"My lord, you have great foresight! If this move can be carried out, it will surely usher in a new era of prosperity for the Qin Empire!"

However, he soon frowned again.

"However, such reforms will inevitably affect the interests of many people, and the resistance will probably be considerable."

Fusu tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao He, I know that such a reform will affect the interests of many people."

"The prosperity of the Qin State was inseparable from Shang Yang's reforms, but he also suffered misfortune because of them."

"Our move may also attract numerous oppositions and obstacles."

Xiao He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then raised his head.

"Sir, I understand your concerns. But precisely because of this, we must move forward with even greater determination.

Reform is an inevitable trend. We are doing this for the future of Daqin and for future generations to live in a more just and powerful country."

Fusu's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded: "You are right. We can't stop moving forward because we are afraid of difficulties."

"But we must have a strategy and be prepared to deal with all kinds of possible resistance."
