The World Is the Chessboard, and the Common People Are the Chess Pieces!
Han Xu smiled and said,"I'm one with Great Qin, so I naturally have to think for Great Qin."”
He had transmigrated for many years, and his foundation was frighteningly strong.
His terrifying luck had given him countless opportunities. Taking these out was nothing at all.
"There are two other methods.”
Ying Zheng spoke again.
He was really getting more and more confident in Han Xu now.
Zhang Han hugged his broadsword like it was a treasure and looked at Han Xu with bright eyes.
"Third, recruit talents!" Han Xu said, waving his feather fan.”
"Recruit talents?"
Ying Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was deep in thought.
"If Great Qin wants to be strong, it needs talented people with lofty ideals."”
"Fighting a country is different from defending a country. Fighting a country can disregard the consequences and only aim for victory.”
"But to defend the country, we have to consider the sufferings of the people, the country's finances, the enforcement of the law, and to ensure fairness and justice. All of this requires talent.”
"And the current system of recommendation and recruitment in Qin is not enough to recruit talents. Instead, it is easy to form cliques for personal gain and attack each other.”
The recommendation system meant that one could become an official if they were recommended by a reputable person.
This way, it would be enough for the referees and the referees to form a community of interests!
Under the conscription system, a person with a reputation could become an official. However, reputation did not equate to ability. Moreover, someone might need to recommend this person with a reputation!
Therefore, the problem was huge.
It was simply fertile land for cliques!
Ying Zheng was an emperor throughout the ages, so he naturally understood what Han Xu meant.
"I also think that there is a problem with the selection method, but…how can we change it?" he asked with a frown.”
"It's very simple. Use the imperial examination system to replace it."”
"Imperial examinations?"
"The imperial examination system, to put it simply, uses the method of examination. It doesn't look at reputation or recommendation, it only looks at ability.”
"If you pass the examination, you can enter the court as an official. If you can't pass the examination, don't be an official.”
"Everything is based on ability. Family background, connections, and reputation are all useless.”
Han Xu's explanation was concise and comprehensive, and Ying Zheng soon understood.
His eyes that seemed to contain the heavens suddenly flashed with a bright light.
The lake water around him seemed to be boiling, bubbling continuously.
And that koi fish was also swimming around Ying Zheng happily.
It was as if he could feel the joy of the one emperor of the ages.
"It's feasible!"
Ying Zheng looked at Han Xu and smiled.""Sir's method is enough to prevent cliques from forming, and more importantly, it won't allow those who are not capable to live in vain and ruin Great Qin's reputation!”
Han Xu smiled." Actually, the method is very simple. It's just that the times have limited Your Majesty's thoughts."”
The imperial examination system only appeared at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. It was still 800 years before the Qin Dynasty!
In these 800 years, the selection system had been constantly changing and evolving. Countless people had racked their brains and finally decided on the most suitable method to select scholars through the imperial examination!
It was not because Ying Zheng was short-sighted, but because of the limitations of the times.
However, Ying Zheng was still Ying Zheng after all. With just a little reminder from Han Xu, this one emperor in history immediately understood the superiority of the imperial examination system!
"The merit of the imperial examination is not only that it is based on ability, but more importantly…it will give the children of the Humble Class, the most ordinary people, a chance."”
"And the people have hope and hope. The people will be more stable.”
"Then, the people will be safe!"
Qin Shi Huang was completely convinced by Han Xu's foresight and strategy.
He said,"Mr. Qin is like King Wen getting Jiang Taigong, like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings!"”
"Of course, there are problems with this method."”
"With the war raging, there are fewer and fewer scholars. The restrictions on scholars will also limit the effectiveness of the imperial examination. Therefore, in order for the imperial examination system to be truly effective, we must think of a way to increase the number of scholars.”
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed as he spat out two words,""The scholarly faction!"
"That's right, the Confucians." Han Xu nodded slightly.”
"Therefore, if you want to succeed in the imperial examinations, you must first choose the Confucian school!”
Ying Zheng said," The Confucians have the Half-Saint Xun Zi, who is not easy to deal with. Besides, the Confucians are very dissatisfied with the fact that I have 'written the same text' in my books. They think that I have committed a great sin by destroying the culture and writing of the six dynasties.”
"Therefore, the Confucians…might not be willing to nurture scholars for the Qin Empire!”
Han Xu waved his feather fan lightly and said confidently,"Leave the scholarly faction to me.”
Ying Zheng gave Han Xu a deep look.
Zhang Han and Wei Liao were also surprised.
One had to know that the Confucian school of thought was quite strong, and only a few schools could contend with it.
Furthermore, the scholarly faction had a Half-Saint overseeing it, so it was as stable as Mount Tai.
Even the Great Qin Imperial Court could not act rashly.
But Han Xu was so confident. Did he really have a way?
"What will the state preceptor do? To make those stubborn fellows lower their heads?”Zhang Han asked in a low voice.
Wei Liao shook his head." I can't think of anything, but I believe in Junior Brother. Teacher once said that if there's anyone in this world who can surpass the Sage, it's Junior Brother.”
With a swoosh, Zhang Han's pupils contracted violently!
Surpassing a Saint…
Ying Zheng's pupils quivered slightly as well. He looked at the white-robed man in front of him, feeling the man's lazy and calm attitude.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng smiled.”
Han Xu smiled and stretched his back. He said slowly,"The last method."
Everyone's eyes fell on Han Xu.
"Peace to the world!" Han Xu said.
Shua!
Ying Zheng turned to look at Han Xu.
Han Xu narrowed his eyes and said,"The remnants of the Six Nations, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, and the ambitious people…There are too many people who hate Great Qin and want to plot against it."”
"They are Great Qin's greatest threat, so dealing with them is of utmost importance.”
"Do you have any ideas, sir?" asked Ying Zheng.”
Han Xu waved his hand, and a chessboard appeared out of thin air. On the chessboard, black and white pieces crisscrossed.
Zhang Han only took a glance and felt as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer. He couldn't help but take three steps back.
"This…" He was shocked.
" Using the world as a chessboard and the common people as chess pieces," Ying Zheng said in a deep voice." Zhang Han, your strength is not enough to spy on this shocking scheme.”
Zhang Han was shocked.
Ying Zheng looked up at Han Xu and said,""Could this be…"
"The situation in the world is changing at any time. My chess game is only a possibility of the future."”
"For example, the Heart Guarding Constellation is just a possibility of the future.”
"As for the future, it will depend on the abilities of the chess players.”
"Your Majesty, do you dare to let me be the real chess player?”
" Who is your opponent?" asked Ying Zheng with a deep gaze.”
Han Xu said," For the Hundred Clans, for the Six Nations, for the Xiongnu, for the Hundred Yue, for all those who want to overthrow Great Qin, and even…for the Heavenly Dao!”
