Chapter 391: Recruiting Talents from All Over the World

Their destination this time was not in the north, but in Neishi County.

The game was to hide the truth under the lamp. When the patrol team was on its way back and was about to return to Xianyang City, they gave the King of Qin the heaviest blow!

The horses are galloping, and everyone is rushing towards his own destination.

And, one by one, the messengers carried a shocking summons to all parts of the Qin Dynasty, shocking the whole world.

The Emperor's Decree——

The world is at peace, the country is prosperous, the government is in order and the people are in harmony. I want to establish an imperial examination to attract talents from all over the world to assist and benefit the people.

The imperial examination is the key to selecting talented people, and is divided into the Tongshi, Xiangshi, Huishi and Palace examinations.

Starting in October, fair and impartial imperial examinations will be held to select talented individuals and contribute to a peaceful and prosperous era. All students, regardless of their background, gender, or place of origin, will be able to take the exam and demonstrate their learning.

The October Tongshi exam was supervised by the local county magistrate. Those who passed the exam were called Tongsheng and could enter the county government to take the county exam.

Those who passed the test were called scholars, qualified for the imperial examination, exempted from land taxes, did not have to kneel when meeting officials, and could enter the Daqin Academy for further studies.

The January examination was jointly supervised by the school commander, the capital commander, and the doctoral servants, and was held in the Daqin Academy.

Those who passed the examination were called "Jushi" (academic candidates), and could participate in the palace examination and be exempted from corvée labor. Their names were recorded on a list of candidate officials, and they could enter the court and various departments for training and to wait for vacancies.

The palace examination in March will be conducted personally by the Emperor.

The palace examination admissions are divided into three categories. The first category has three people, who are awarded "Jinshi Jidi", and are the top three in a subject; the second category has eighty-one people, who are awarded "Jinshi Chuan"; the third category has two hundred people, who are awarded "Tong Jinshi Chuan".

Those who ranked third would enter government offices, become teachers, and be granted official positions.

Those who ranked second in the class were allowed to stay in Xianyang and be given a copy of the certificate for making remonstrations.

Those who ranked first in the imperial class would enter the Hanlin Academy and be granted the privilege of walking before the emperor.

Anyone who aspires to enter the court, cares about the people, and has outstanding talents and knowledge can take the exam and display what they have learned.

I hope that local governments will publicize this decree so that all students in the world will know about it.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The common people had never heard of the Hanlin Academy, and the scholars and nobles had no time to delve into the changes brought about by the newly established Hanlin Academy in the imperial court.

Because they are all busy as hell!

What little energy he had was used to find out the content of the imperial examinations, so he had no time to care about the changes in the court.

No matter whether it is the Hanlin Academy or the Secretariat, the more the better, so that the younger generation will have a better chance of staying if they pass the exam.

And all the girls in my family, go and take the exam!

Everyone who passes the exam will receive a reward! It’s all our pride!

"What is he going to do?!?"

In a mountain courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings, an old man, frail and frail, was cursing angrily, and pounding the ground with the cane in his hand, making heavy hitting sounds.

"I knew it. I've said it before. You little bastard Ying Zheng, you're trying to dig up the roots of our noble family!"

He cursed loudly, spit flying everywhere, and his wrinkled face was flushed red with anger.

"First there was the library, then there was the charity school, and now they're not even going to act anymore, giving those poor, lowly people the chance to become officials!"

Just hitting his cane was not enough to express his anger, so he clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table.

“Huh…Huh…I’m so angry! I’m so angry!”

"Master, don't be angry. Your body can't stand being so angry..." The gray-haired man in brocade clothes hurried forward and helped the old master to sit on the chair.

"Master, please have some tea first. Everyone is here. Let's think of a solution together."

"Hmph... think of a way? You guys?" The old patriarch followed the man in brocade clothes and sat back in the chair at the head of the table, looking at the other people in the room with a bad temper.

These children and grandchildren all disagreed and might even be cursing this old man in their hearts for occupying the position of head of the family and not retiring to enjoy his retirement.

They don’t even think about this: if they could stand up, why would they drag their sick bodies and work hard for days?

He was breathing heavily and looked around at the younger generations one by one. When he saw his grandson drinking tea in a lazy manner, he immediately became even angrier.

"Yueling, tell me, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling, who was sitting with his legs crossed, eating snacks and drinking tea, quickly sat up straight and muttered with his head down, "Grandson thought..."

The voice was too soft, and the old patriarch, who was already hard of hearing, couldn't hear it clearly at all. He was so angry that he slammed the table again and said, "What are you talking about? Speak louder!"

Yue Ling pursed his lips, cleared his throat, raised his voice and repeated it.

"My grandson thinks this is a good thing. At least they can go and take the exam now, and no longer have to stay at home looking for connections to recommend them for positions!"

This time, the old patriarch heard it and got angry.

"What do you know? You're shortsighted! You only see the present. If this continues, sooner or later, families like ours will be trampled underfoot by those untouchables!"

Yue Ling shrank back at the scolding, but he still held his neck stiff and retorted, "What are you talking about? If the King of Qin doesn't hold the imperial examinations, there will be no path to officialdom. We won't have to wait until the future, by the time of our grandson's generation, we'll be doomed."

"you!"

As if he had not expected the other party to refute, the old patriarch was stunned at first, then he reacted, stretched out his finger, and pointed at Yue Ling with trembling hands.

"You! You! Rebellious son!"

The old patriarch was so angry that he fell back in his chair, gasping for breath.

"Master, Father! Father, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, go and make the medicine!"

The man in brocade clothes hurried forward and asked the servants to make medicine for the old master.

After a busy period, by the time the medicine was taken, the old patriarch had been moved to a low couch by everyone.

He was half lying on the low couch, slowly drinking the medicine from the hand of the man in brocade clothes. His cloudy eyes were sunken in his eye sockets, his eyelids were drooping, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

He knew very well that what Yue Ling said was reality.

So what if these old nobles are angry?

The trend of the times is unstoppable. No matter how angry they are or how little they try to do, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Father..."

After feeding them a bowl of medicine, the man in brocade hesitantly asked, "Father, are Yueling and the others going to take the exam?"

The old patriarch took a deep breath and closed his eyes weakly. After a long time, he nodded in compromise.

Yue Ling and several other young brothers secretly glanced at each other from behind, lowering their heads and not daring to look forward.

The man in brocade clothes waved his hands behind his back quietly, signaling them to be calm. He carefully observed the reaction of the old patriarch, coughed, and gave a loud warning.

"Since the Patriarch has asked you to take the exam, you must prepare well. You must not bring disgrace to the reputation of our Jiujiang Zhou Family!"

"Yes, Patriarch, don't worry, your grandson will definitely make good preparations."

The voice of the young and strong man rang in the ears of the old patriarch.

The old patriarch slowly opened his eyes and looked at his children and grandchildren who were standing with their heads bowed in the room, feeling both sad and happy.

The glory that belonged to their generation is long gone.

Perhaps it is time to pass on power to the next generation.
