There are many interpretations of this word, and the first thing Ying Zheng thought of was Hu people.

He said coldly: "Hu Zhe, the wolf of the northern border."

Just as he was thinking about this matter carefully, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Border report!"

A distressed messenger quickly entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, panting, and said, "I tell Your Majesty, a hundred thousand Huns have invaded the border!"

Ying Zheng's face turned cold, his judgment was indeed correct, and Hun was referring to the Huns.

Although the Huns were ferocious and warlike, he didn't think those guys could really threaten the Great Qin Empire.

With a cold snort, he said, "If you want to destroy my Daqin, you are just talking about dreams!"

As for the Xiongnu, then he will not be soft-hearted. Even if the prophecy on the Stone of Enlightenment may come true, the mere Xiongnu will still not make him have the slightest fear.

But since the barbarian came to commit the crime, this hidden danger must be eliminated.

"I ordered Meng Tian to lead an army of 30 to the frontier and attack the Xiongnu in the north. I want the Hu people to dare not step into the land of the Great Qin for 20 years!"

Just when the emperor made up his mind to solve the scourge of the Xiongnu, Ye Chen's injuries had almost recovered, and he set off to return to the Tibetan Sword Villa.

But before going back, he had to stop by Xianyang Palace.

In the palace, Ying Zheng looked at the memorial with an ugly expression on his face.

Then he looked down at Li Si, and said, "After such a long time, these things have not made any progress?"

Li Si cupped his hands and replied: "The empire was first established, and the people cherished their homeland. It is indeed very difficult to implement the writings and laws of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that this matter is not easy, so I entrust it to you to handle it. Only when the people's hearts are united can the world be truly unified. This matter must be completed!"

Hearing this, Li Si's heart also became heavy. It is obvious that the emperor attaches great importance to this issue. If he can't solve it properly, his position may also be shaken.

Then he said quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "I hope you won't disappoint me."

"promise."

Li Si respectfully replied.

At this moment, a waiter reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ye Chen is here to visit!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he said immediately, "Please."

After a while, Ye Chen came to the main hall. First, he bowed his hands slightly to say hello to Ying Zheng, then looked at Li Si beside him, and said with a light smile, "Junior brother is here too."

Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother."

Ye Chen nodded, then turned his attention to Ying Zheng, and said, "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today, but what happened?"

Hearing the question, Ying Zheng didn't hide anything, and gave a general account of the matter.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and then said: "If Your Majesty is worried about this matter, maybe I can help you."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Please advise, sir."

Ye Chen smiled, and slowly spit out two words: "Imperial examination."

Hearing this new term, Ying Zheng also became interested, and asked, "What is the imperial examination?"

Ye Chen replied: "Talent is the basis for the development of a country. During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a system of nobles and nobles, and later evolved methods of selecting talents such as recommendation.

The imperial examination just mentioned is also a way to select talents and officials, but it is more accurate to call this way a system. "

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at the other party and motioned him to continue talking.

Ye Chen said: "To put it simply, the imperial examination is a way of conducting large-scale public selection through assessment. Now that the Great Qin has abandoned enfeoffment and adopted the county system, it can just promote the implementation of the imperial examination system."

Ying Zheng then asked: "Then how should we proceed?"

Ye Chen replied: "As for the specific implementation of the imperial examination system, we can conduct a grade-by-level assessment according to the level of the region.

For example, the imperial examination can be divided into four grades, the provincial examination, the county examination, the county examination, and the palace examination.

As the name suggests, the township examinations are held in their respective townships, and county officials prepare questions, and then let those who want to take the imperial examination go to a fixed place to take the test, and those with better scores can go to the county to take the county examination.

By analogy, those with excellent results in the county examination can go to the county to participate in the next round of assessment.Those who passed the county examination are basically very rare talents, and such people can come to Xianyang to participate in the final palace examination.

The winner of the palace examination, even if you look at the whole country, will definitely not be an ordinary person.

For such people, His Majesty can entrust them with important tasks. As for the remaining candidates, they can also be assigned to other positions according to the results of the assessment. "

In this way, everyone can be distinguished according to their abilities, and better talents and more capable officials can be selected for Daqin. "

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng's heart was also slightly shaken.He didn't expect that the other party's idea was so grand that it directly covered the entire country.

Although the imperial examination system appears to be a way of selecting talented people on the surface, its actual meaning is a revolution.

Compared with Shang Yang's reform, it is not much inferior to the reform.

You must know that whether it is the Shang and Zhou Dynasties or the Warring States Period, most of those official positions are in the hands of aristocratic families.

Although it is possible to make recommendations, how many of those officials recommend will be civilians, and basically they are all people who have a good relationship with themselves.

So in general, the resources and the path of advancement are still in the hands of the nobles.

The current imperial examination is different. It can be implemented nationwide, and both nobles and commoners can participate.

And once you have achieved excellent results in the county examination or palace examination, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky and gain honor, wealth and status.

From the perspective of Yingzheng, it can be seen that this imperial examination system can not only select more talents for Daqin, but also will be a sharp edge to break up the monopoly of nobles on official career...

Chapter 412 Ye Chen's Imperial Examination System

After listening to Ye Chen's narration, Ying Zheng couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind.

Although what the other party said was relatively simple, the pattern of the imperial examination was presented before his eyes.If it can be implemented successfully, it will definitely be a huge change for Qin.

Even from a certain point of view, the emergence of the imperial examination system may have a greater impact than Shang Yang's reform.

The series of reforms implemented by Shang Yang at the beginning made Qin State a sharp weapon in war, rising from the borderlands, and gradually becoming a powerful country.

The effect of this reform is obvious, and it can be said that it is an important foundation for the strength of Qin.

But its influence is more manifested in the war-torn era, but now the Great Qin has ruled the world, and there are not so many battles to fight.

Naturally, there is no need to put all the focus on the military.
