"Brother Chen, why is your expression like this?”
Ying Zheng smiled faintly, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
Finally.
He had finally won a round!
"It's nothing. It's naturally good that Imperial Older Brother thinks this way.”
"It's just how to use the imperial examinations to select talents without being affected by the side effects.”
"Does Imperial Brother have a plan for this?"
Bai Chen looked at Ying Zheng, waiting for his answer.
"Hmm?"
Ying Zheng's expression froze.
Plan?
What plan did he have?
Moreover…
He should clearly be the one asking Bai Chen, so why did it become Bai Chen asking him?
Li Si, do you have any ideas?"
In order to hide his awkwardness, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Li Si.
As the Prime Minister of Great Qin, shouldn't he be making plans?
"Uh, me?"
At Bai Chen's place, Li Si was used to being a listener.
Ying Zheng suddenly asked him a question, and Li Si did not react for a moment.
"I believe that the common people think that being an official can make them rich and powerful.”
"In that case, we only need to modify the laws and regulations to strictly restrict the rules of being an official.”
Li Si said after some thought.
In actuality, Great Qin had already put a lot of restrictions on its officials.
Officials had to prepare their own rations when they went on business trips. They could not take a needle or a thread from the common people to prevent corruption.
No matter how big the position was, one person had to take up the post. Other low-level officials could not be brought along to prevent cliques from forming.
"With such a change, would there still be anyone willing to be an official?”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, as an official, you should display your knowledge and ambition. If you only want power and wealth, even if such a person is talented, he will probably become a disaster for the country.”
Li Si said with a straight face.
If Bai Chen did not know what Li Si had done in history, he would have really believed him.
Bai Chen did not mock Li Si's current attitude.
After all, people were two-faced and could change.
Li Si was right. No wonder in history, in order to preserve his power, he colluded with Zhao Gao to tamper with his brother's edict.
The harm of a country is actually me!
However, Li Si was probably sincere now.
After all, restricting the power of the middle and lower officials had nothing to do with him, the Prime Minister.
As for whether Li Si would change in the future, it would depend on his brother and the successor he chose.
A person who could write " Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard work " was extravagant after becoming an official.
A diligent scholar who chiseled walls to steal light would be the land of stealing the country after becoming an official.
Although Li Si had tampered with the edict for the sake of power, he could not bear to see the Great Qin Empire be corrupted by Qin II. His persuasion failed, and his power and life were taken away.
"You have received a special reward-Starry Sea Creation Bottle.”
Hiss!
Ying Zheng gasped.
He never expected Li Si to 'betray' him.
If Ying Zheng had not heard the last sentence, he would have already decided to put Li Si on the same watchlist as Zhao Gao.
"Li Si, I hope you remember what you said today.”
Ying Zheng said to Li Si meaningfully.
"Yes."
Li Si was slightly taken aback before agreeing.
"Restricting the power of officials is only part of it. At the same time, we should also raise the status of other professions.”
"Let the people know that there are 360 lines, and every line produces wise men.”
"You can earn money in every profession, but there are all kinds of restrictions to being an official. Unless you have ambition, it's better to choose something else.”
"Of course, this is under the premise that everyone in Great Qin is like a dragon.”
"There are too few scholars now. It would be good enough if we can select some qualified officials.”
Bai Chen shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too far ahead now.
Even the words had not been unified yet.
Education hadn't changed yet.
He was already thinking about how to stop them from thinking about being officials after there were too many scholars in the world.
"In that case, we should find Xiao He first.”
Ying Zheng thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed so.
They were thinking too far ahead.
"I've troubled Little Brother Chen for the past few days.”
Ying Zheng knew clearly that Bai Chen needed to 'cultivate', and it was already the limit for him to waste time to help him complete a new character.
Use your own judgment to measure others.
His goal was for the Great Qin Empire to be immortal, and those who stopped him from achieving this goal were his enemies.
At the same time, his Little Brother Chen's goal was to cultivate the Mortal Great Dao, so he couldn't disturb him frequently.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be basically the same as in his previous life?
Not only that, he even wanted to help Bai Chen complete the cultivation of the Mortal Great Dao.
Finding the princesses of the six dynasties was no joke.
……
As the sky gradually darkened, Ying Zheng and Li Si left together.
And according to what he said before he left, he probably wouldn't come back for the time being.
To be honest, although Bai Chen wanted to rely on the voice package to farm rewards, being so busy all the time also made him somewhat unaccustomed.
Now, he could finally rest.
As for creating new characters?
That was not something that could be done in a few minutes.
To others, it was something that came from nothing.
To Bai Chen, that only needed to be copied according to the words in his mind.
"Starry Sea Creation Bottle? Could it be some kind of magic treasure?"
Bai Chen took out a small jade bottle from his clothes and checked the reward that popped up from the voice package just now.
This bottle was small and exquisite, and there was a string on it.
Just now, it directly appeared on Bai Chen's neck.
[Starry Sea Creation Bottle: According to the wearer, one drop of special spiritual liquid will be produced every day.]
