There was no need to say much about the system of military merits. This was a unique characteristic of Great Qin. As long as one performed meritorious deeds on the battlefield, they could be conferred a title or even become an official!
Being recommended to an official was a very nonsensical way of promotion. As long as you could be discovered by others, you would be recommended by officials or dignitaries.
Then, you can become an official.
The most important prerequisite for becoming an official was the recommendation of officials and dignitaries.
In short, as long as those officials and dignitaries thought that you were talented, then you were talented.
There were relatively few officials who were recruited through special conscription. This was a way for the imperial court to recruit talents with a skill.
For example, Xu Fu, an alchemist, was considered a special conscript to be able to become an imperial doctor.
Because Brother Zheng thought that Xu Fu had a way to live forever. In his opinion, this was a special talent, but this was very rare.
Therefore, most of the officials in the court were promoted through recommendation and military merit.
Most of the military officials believed in Ying Zheng and were loyal to him.
Most of the elected officials were promoted by the powerful, so it was hard to say if they were loyal to the court.
"The military merit system is the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty. As for the recommendation system…"
At this point, Ying Zheng shook his head and said,"
"That's not right. There are many people in the court who are paid and do nothing. They are vermin of the court!”
"Yes, there are too many drawbacks to being promoted through recommendation!”
Su Chen sneered and said,"
"Aristocratic families only need a recommendation order to immediately appoint their children as officials, regardless of whether they are talented or not!”
"On the other hand, it is difficult for talented people or scholars from poor families to advance into officialdom!”
"There is a Bole in the world, and then there is a thousand-li horse. There are often thousand-li horses, but not Bole!”
Ying Zheng was startled, deeply moved by this sentence.
The selection of a talent was a recommendation system. There were many people who could choose a thousand-li horse, but there were too few who could choose a thousand-li horse!
There were too many flaws in the recommendation system, and there were very few talents that Great Qin could use!
Throughout history, how many people had been able to recite the exit number?
Other than Li Si, Feng Quji, and a few other civil officials, the rest were all generals!
The Meng family, the royal family, Li Xin, Zhang Han, and so on.
Of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, there were only a few who were truly capable. If Great Qin was destroyed, there would be no one to use, and if there was no one to assist, it would be strange if they didn't jump.
On the other hand, Liu Laosan was able to establish the Darkhan Dynasty without showing his talent precisely because he valued talent and knew how to use people.
The three heroes of the Han Dynasty were all talented, and there were even Fan Kuai, Chen Ping, and other capable ministers!
Liu Laosan was only a few years younger than Ying Zheng, so they could be considered as peers. This was the difference!
"The implementation of the foundation of education is based on the two strategies of military merit and recommendation!”
Su Chen slowly said,"
"Military merits are the foundation of Great Qin's soldiers 'strength, so we cannot act rashly.”
"However, I believe that those who have been promoted to nobility through military merit must be literate if they want to continue being promoted!!”
"If all the officers of Great Qin were literate and knew how to arrange troops, how strong would the army be?”
"At least ten times stronger!"
Wang Ben's eyes lit up as he spoke loudly.
There were countless illiterates in the Qin army, and many of those who had built up military achievements and obtained titles did not even know a single word!
In war, they only knew how to cheer up the morale of the army, and when they won the battle, they only knew how to cheer!
Passing orders depended entirely on shouting. If they misheard, they would be finished.
It was just like a game competition in modern times where players of different nationalities participated together.
If the teammate said slow down, the person in question would be reckless. Wouldn't he be finished if he rushed up?
Although this was a joke, it was undeniable that such a thing could happen. There was a high chance that there would be a misunderstanding if it was conveyed verbally!
As for the document?
There were only a few literate people on the battlefield, and the transmission of documents was limited to the commander-in-chief and the imperial court.
Not to mention the arrangement of troops, the Qin army was simply violent on the battlefield. This was why it was called Barbarian Qin!
A hornet's nest surged forward. If they didn't die, they would die. There was no retreat. They couldn't convey orders!
"If everyone in the army is literate and knows how to arrange their troops, then everyone in the army will be like a dragon, like Old General Wang!”
The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up as he looked at Ying Zheng and said,""If that's the case, who else in the Qin army can stop us?”
"If we can promote education in Great Qin's army, it would be a good thing!”
Ying Zheng nodded sincerely and said,"
"The prerequisite for military merit to enter the rank of nobility is not changed. Adding the assessment of literacy and formation of troops to promote the rank of nobility, not bad!!!”
Most of the people who were promoted to nobility had rendered meritorious service to the court and were loyal, but many of them were afraid that they would not be able to hold an official position because they did not know how to read.
If they could change this situation through education, they would definitely be able to fill the imperial court with more talents!
In Brother Zheng's heart, the one he trusted the most was the Qin army. With the army in hand, the world was mine!
"Right, since military merits are required to be assessed for being literate and sending troops to set up an array, then is it also necessary to elect an official?”
The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up as he said this. He had finally returned after going around in such a big circle.
"In my opinion, the recommendation can be changed to the imperial examination. The imperial court will take the test and select the best.”
"This way, we can prevent the aristocratic families from recommending incompetent officials. All officials will be reviewed by the Imperial Court to prevent mediocre people from entering the court!”
"Not only that, anyone in the world can enter the imperial examination and become an official. If the imperial court is a Bole, all the horses in the world can enter the imperial court!”
