"Great King, we have arrived at the Sage Selection Hall."
The chamberlain got out of the carriage in front of the stone gate and reported.
"Yes."
Ying Fei nodded slightly and got off the car.
However, when he saw the Sage Selection Hall, he could not help but sigh.
In the east, there had always been precedents for recruiting talents. King Zhao of Yan had set up a golden platform, and Duke Mu of Qin had treated the wise with courtesy.
Because of this, when constructing the Sage Selection Hall, Ying Fei had specially instructed the Ministry of Revenue to spare no effort in building it, making this building extremely grand.
Its size, decoration, and magnificence were second only to the Imperial City.
However, this 'Golden Nest' did not attract any phoenixes. It was really funny!
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Just as Ying Fei was sighing with emotion, the soldier standing in front of the stone gate bowed solemnly.
Then, he took a step back.
"Rise."
Ying Fei nodded at him and ordered,""In a moment, the six ministers and the commander of the front army will come.”
"Tell them that I will be waiting for you in the inner hall.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Without any hesitation, he strode into the hall.
"Yes."
The soldiers stationed outside the door responded in unison.
"Great King!"
A moment later, Liu Bowen, the Imperial Censor of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, Fang Xuanling, and the others arrived.
"Today, I'm going out in plain clothes. There's no need for you to be so polite. Let me take a look at this Sage Selection Hall.”
Ying Fei waved his hand as he stared at the officials and spoke in a faint voice.
"Yes."
The civil officials and generals nodded in agreement.
Even though they had always known about the existence of the Hall of Talents, they had never been here before. This was because this place was mainly organized by the Ministry of Personnel and the Shao Mansion.
If they could make all of Great Qin's important officials personally visit, then the Sage Selection Hall's influence would be too great.
Everyone entered the Hall of Distinguished Talents one after another and looked around at the most glorious building in Chang 'an with great interest.
There were pavilions, pavilions, and singing platforms on the water. This did not look like an official residence, but more like a garden.
"Buying a horse bone with a thousand gold coins, Your Majesty is wise!”
Liu Bowen and Fa Zheng saw through Ying Fei's thoughts at a glance.
Scholars were different from martial artists who were boorish. They preferred to be pretentious.
The layout of the Hall of Elites was in line with the preferences of the Eastern scholars.
"Everyone, this Hall of Talents has been open for several months, but not a single famous person from West Earth has come.”
"Of the four prefectures and twenty counties under Great Qin, only the county governors and county captains are in office.”
"Does anyone have a solution?"
Without any hesitation, Ying Fei directly told him the problem.
Instantly.
The officials present looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, the Minister of Personnel, Fang Xuanling, spoke first,""Great King."
"Ever since I took over the matter of the Hall of Virtues, I couldn't sleep day and night. I thought hard and had some insights about this.”
"West Earth is different from the Central Plains. The medical skills of the Central Plains began with Bian Que. There is nothing more than looking, hearing, asking and cutting.”
"There are some surgeries such as bleeding, scraping bones, and detoxification, but they are not commonly used.”
"And West Earth's medical skills like to deal with external factors, and they even dissect corpses.”
"The extravagance of West Earth is only on the surface, unlike the beauty of the East.”
"I thought that we might have used the wrong method.”
At this time, Liu Bowen also said,""Great King."
"I know a West Earth scholar. Anker."
"Ankar was a disciple of aristotle and was once the follower of Alexander the Great.”
"He believes that the country is above the people and advocates that the people have their own rights.”
"We will implement a democratic system in the area of law-making and a monarchical system in the area of administration.”
"I think this is probably the difference between Eastern and Western civilizations.”
"Perhaps Western scholars are not suitable to be subjects of Great Qin and govern the region.”
"However, they have their own unique ways of teaching and educating people.”
Liu Bowen's words resonated with the civil and military officials present.
What a joke!
The country was above the people, and the people had their own rights. Then why did they need the emperor?
If Qin Fa 'an could let the people make their own decisions, the world would be in chaos.
"Great King."
"I also have a memorial."
"In the past three months, we have been to Parthia, Seljugal, Greece, and other places.”
"I found that West Earth's culture is not inferior to our East, but West Earth's culture cultivates talents in many aspects.”
"These people have no respect for the king. They even think that the country can be controlled by the people.”
Chancellor Wang Meng said an even more shocking fact.
"What?"
"How dare a person without a king or father do this?”
"He deserves to die!"
Instantly.
The entire place was in an uproar.
Even though the Central Plains was a place where hundreds of schools of thought were contending and the culture was flourishing, it was not inferior to the West.
However, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy all followed a principle, which was that the ruler of the world was unquestionable.
Kings can be good or bad, but kings are one and cannot be changed.
Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the king of Xia was the descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu and Emperor Xuanyuan. The King of Shang was a descendant of Emperor Ku and Xuan Yuan, and the royal family of Zhou was also a descendant of Xuan Yuan.
The Zhou Dynasty had enfeoffed 800 vassals, and each vassal had a prominent bloodline.
Even in the Nine States, Great Qin had lost the east of the country, and the rebel army in the east of the country had followed the principle of restoring the six states.
If they really followed the western concept, the world would be in complete chaos.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this.
Ying Fei frowned.
No one knew more than him about the origin and development of Western civilization.
He knew very well that whether it was Fang Xuanling, Liu Bowen, or Wang Meng, they were all facts.
Before this, Ying Fei had only thought of appointing the locals as officials so that he could better govern the place. However, he had never thought about the impact it would have.
Now, it seemed that this idea needed to be revised.
"Send the edict: "
"Order the county governors and county officers to destroy West Earth Academy.”
"Other than astronomy, geography, medicine, craftsmanship, and other disciplines, all other disciplines are prohibited.”
"All the local books will be transported to Chang 'an. The Empire Library will be built in Chang' an to accommodate the books of various countries.”
"The Imperial College of the Great Qin Empire must be built as soon as possible, and the provincial, county, and even village academies must be in place.”
"If there aren't enough teachers, then we'll use the retired soldiers of the Qin army as teachers of the village academy.”
"All the books must be written in Qin language, and the local officials must be able to speak Qin language.”
"In view of the inconvenience of writing in small seal script, he ordered people to improve the official script and named it regular script.”
"From now on, West Earth will use regular script as the official and folk font.”
"Yes."
The chamberlain hurriedly passed the drafted edict to Ying Fei to read and sealed it with the royal seal.
The six tribes also called people over and immediately copied dozens of copies of the edict and sent them to the four provinces and twenty counties.
