In order to dispel Ying Zheng's idea of promoting Wang Ying as assistant minister, Wang Ying and Wang Jian frowned.
Ying Zheng, on the other hand, was filled with excitement.
The harvest from this trip to the Imperial Residence was truly too great!
"Minister Meng, send half of the wine you brought back from the prince's mansion to Imperial Physician Xia.”
"Tell Imperial Physician Xia to sprinkle this wine on the affected area and observe the changes in the wound.”
"If you discover anything, report to me immediately!”
"Remember, you must tell Imperial Physician Xia that you can't drink this wine, or your life might be in danger!”
Meng Yi was confused.
Spilling the mellow triumphant wine on the wound?
Was this…letting the wound drink some wine?
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng continued,""Summon the three dukes and nine ministers and other officials above 2,000 stones to the royal study for a meeting!”
Meng Yi immediately cupped his hands.”
Soon, Li Si and the other ministers gathered in the royal study.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
" Ten days ago," Ying Zheng asked directly," I asked all my beloved ministers to think carefully about how to solve the problem of the lack of officials in Great Qin.”
"Do you have any good ideas now?”
Li Si and the other officials looked helpless. After a while, no one spoke.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.”
Li Si and the others immediately bowed and cupped their hands.”
There are many talented people in the court of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, just as Wang Ying had thought, a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
After searching the entire Great Qin, there were only so many people who could read and write.
What could they do?
They were also in despair!
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke in a bland voice.
"I have recently come up with a good plan.”
Meng Yi unconsciously lowered his head and sighed.
When he was in the Imperial Residence, Meng Yi only felt that something was wrong.
But now, Meng Yi had thought it through. What was the difference between saying Wang Ying's so-called good plan and not saying it?
If Great Qin had no choice but to continue using the officials of the six dynasties, Great Qin would definitely not continue to be wary of them!
After His Majesty said this so-called good plan, His Majesty's image in the hearts of many courtiers would probably suffer a blow.
Just as Meng Yi was feeling conflicted, Ying Zheng had already opened his mouth.
"Great Qin respects the law and rules the world with the law.”
"As such, Great Qin holds an annual Law Examination to select those who are proficient in Law as officials.”
"Even those who are directly appointed as officials because of their military achievements and titles will undergo an official examination three years after taking office to assess whether they are proficient in the law. If they fail the examination, they will be dismissed!”
"However, do you really have to be proficient in law to be an official in Great Qin?”
Li Si was originally nodding as he listened, but he could not hold it in anymore and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the officials of Great Qin should be proficient in the law.”
"Otherwise, you can only be a guest minister, a doctor, and other positions without real power.”
"After all, Great Qin governs the world according to law.”
"If the officials don't understand the law, how can they manage the world!”
As a representative of Legalism, Li Si could not allow Legalism's original solid position to be damaged.
Ying Zheng smiled and asked,"Minister Li, what you said is indeed reasonable."”
"But Minister Li, do you think that the officials who take care of the cattle and horses need to be proficient in the law?”
"So what if they are proficient in the law?”
Li Si was stunned.
It seemed that it was really useless.
Was it a cow law?
That was no different from playing the lute to a cow!
Seeing that Li Si was speechless, Ying Zheng was in a good mood and said decisively,""It's definitely a great waste of talent to let a person proficient in law raise cattle and forge iron!”
" I believe that there are many talented people in the world," Ying Zheng said in a clear voice." It's just that the Great Qin Empire has limited its vision and wasted too many talents. Therefore, I believe that there are very few people who can become officials.”
"I want to promote the imperial examinations in Great Qin.”
"If there are people who are good at raising cattle and horses but are illiterate, they can report to the Animal Supervisor to be shepherds.”
"If there are people who are good at divination but do not know the law, they can enter the government to be small officials.”
"Only those who are proficient in the law and pass the law examination can become the chief officer of each department.”
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan was stunned and muttered,"Divide the imperial examination scholars and make the best use of their talents!"
"Wonderful, very wonderful!"
"If our Great Qin really can divide the imperial examination scholars and make the best use of their talents, the problem of our Great Qin lacking officials will definitely be solved!”
"Your Majesty's plan is wonderful!"
Dividing the imperial examination scholars was not as simple as filling up a large number of auxiliary officials.
Once this law was popularized, those grassroots officials who could read, read, and understand the law but were raising cattle and horses would be liberated and could fill the middle-level positions.
After the middle-level officials had successors, the officials who held these positions could naturally advance further and continue to be promoted.
It could be said that the Imperial Examinations had directly solved the problem of Great Qin's lack of officials!
Ying Zheng continued," Those who pass the imperial examination and become officials in the imperial court have to learn the way of learning while governing. They will be assessed annually.”
"If you want to be promoted to the position of chief officer, you also need to pass the legal examination.”
Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard that." If we implement this plan, we don't have to worry about shaking the foundation of Legalism."”
"No, with this plan, the influence of my Legalism will definitely grow!”
Even though the Legalism no longer had the sole control of the imperial court after the Imperial Examinations were released, the Legalism no longer had the upper hand.
But this was only temporary.
If one wanted to become a chief official, they had to pass the law examination. This examination forced those officials who were not originally disciples of the Legalism school to bite the bullet and study the law.
In just a few years, the Great Qin Imperial Court would be filled with Legalism disciples again, and the number would increase by several times!
Ying Zheng smiled and looked at the ministers.
"My dear ministers, what do you think?"
In the royal study, all the officials cupped their hands excitedly.
"This plan is great!"
"We have no objections!"
Looking at those pairs of reverent eyes, Ying Zheng felt as if all the bones in his body had become lighter.
The feeling of eavesdropping on the rebel faction's plan to solve Great Qin's problem could only be described in one word.
Awesome!
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and immediately gave the order.
"Right Prime Minister Wang Wan is in charge of the first imperial examination.”
"Within ten days, clarify the subjects and questions of the imperial examination.”
Wang Wan immediately cupped his hands.”
