Ying Ziqi is not a procrastination character.

He directly said what he was going to do.

All the officials in the court heard the words and looked up at him.

"My lord, this kind of behavior is to compete for the interests of the people, isn't your lord afraid of the people's condemnation?"

"Since ancient times, the imperial court has not been involved in the salt and iron business. It has its own reasons. This is absolutely inappropriate."

"The way of merchants cannot be put on the table. If the imperial court gets involved, the prestige will inevitably decline, and it will be of no benefit to the country, my lord!"

In fact, when deciding this matter, Ying Ziqi knew that someone would stop him.

But well.

He said lightly: "My son is not seeking your advice, but to inform you, understand?"

This understanding of words made everyone froze.

Especially with that indifferent look in his eyes, Baiguan couldn't help shivering.

The feeling that they would be cut off if they said a word made them all shut up.

Ying Ziqi was not targeting them, but some of these courtiers had iron ore in their hands.

The family business is also related to iron.

Using the name of the people to protect your own interests is disgusting!

"My son is just informing you that if you meet relevant people, you just need to let them go."

"Sir, you understand!"

Fusu's expression was complicated, he felt that Ying Ziqi was more and more like Ying Zheng.

When he supervised the country, the court was like a vegetable market, and the voices of the ministers were so chaotic that he couldn't hear them clearly.

Li Si looked at Ying Ziqi with admiration.

If you are an emperor, you must have the ability to overpower your officials.

There is no doubt that Ying Ziqi already has this phenomenon.

"In addition, there are still three days before the first imperial examination will be officially held. Make preparations. Don't let me and my father down."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Go away!"

Following Ying Ziqi's words, the officials began to withdraw from Zhangtai Palace in an orderly manner.

But the individual did not leave.

Feng Quji.

He sat firmly in his seat and looked at Ying Ziqi.

"My lord, I have a question, can you answer it?"

"No."

Feng Quji:? ? ?

Chapter 35 Aiming at the family?they are not worthy

Hearing Ying Ziqi's words, Feng Qu was in a mess in the blast, holding back everything he was about to say.

Seeing him like this, Ying Ziqi chuckled, "I'm just kidding, if you have any questions, the prime minister, feel free to tell me."

Feng Quji let out a breath.

"The matter that the old minister asked was about the imperial examination."

Yingzi let out a sigh.

"The prime minister thinks there is something wrong with the imperial examination system?"

Feng Quji shook his head: "That's not the case. The imperial examination system is absolutely beneficial and harmless to Daqin. It can screen out more talents for Daqin. If it is according to what the young master thinks, it can be more classified and let different talents go. Let him be in the position he is good at, and give full play to his talents, son, this method is unprecedented, and it is enough to leave a name in history."

Leave a name in history?

That's true. The first person who proposed the imperial examination has also left his name in history.

"Then where did the prime minister's question come from?"

Feng Quji sighed.

"Since the son supervised the country, every move seems to be random, but he can handle political affairs with ease, but after looking at it, the old minister discovered one thing."

"I would like to hear from you."

Feng Quji stood up slowly, cupped his hands, and bowed.

"Young Master, can you tell the old minister why you are targeting the family (also known as the clan) so much?"

Every family has been passed down for many years and has a very profound heritage.

The rise of the Seven Kingdoms that once included Qin was inseparable from the support of the aristocratic family.

The Qin State was able to unify the six countries, and the aristocratic family had a great contribution.

Feng Quji thought for a long time, and felt that the imperial examination system was indeed of great benefit to the children of aristocratic families.

But he always felt that Ying Ziqi didn't like the family, so this purpose was definitely questionable.

While thinking, he mobilized his contacts and inquired everywhere.

Finally, he heard a piece of news that shocked him extremely.

At first, he thought that paper was just a replacement for bamboo slips and other things.

It can make various affairs more convenient, that's all.

But he didn't expect that the paper is not the most important thing, but the printing technique!

The first time Feng Quji learned about this method, he was filled with admiration.

He is full of admiration for Ying Ziqi's supernatural talent.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt something unusual.

Paper, printing, books!

In an instant, he understood where the greatest use of this thing was.

To hit the family, printing is definitely the best choice.

Coupled with the connection with the imperial examination system, the purpose of Ying Ziqi is self-evident.

He wanted the influence of the aristocratic family to gradually decrease from the court, or even disappear.

Ying Ziqi chuckled: "Prime Minister, when did I target the family?"

Feng Quji was stunned: "My lord, don't hide it, the old minister already knows about the printing technique, so a large number of books can be printed."

"Prime Minister, have you misunderstood something? This young master is only trying to make more people in my Daqin able to study. They are not worthy of my young master to spend so much time on the aristocratic family."

Ying Ziqi is only targeting those who can't match.

Feng Quji heard the words and murmured: "It's not worthy, indeed, if you want to target the family, once printing comes out, the thing that the family is most proud of, anyone in the world can have."

"Then why, in the eyes of the veteran, these actions will have such a big impact on the family?"

Ying Ziqi gave him an answer.

"It must be that in the process of development, the goals of the aristocratic family and the country are inconsistent."

Feng Quji seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his back, which was originally straight, was slightly bent forward.

Ying Ziqi still admires this old prime minister even though he is an honored man of the old Qin Dynasty.

It was originally planned to slowly weaken the influence of the family, so that the poor family of the family could coexist in the court.

But since he asked the question today, Ying Ziqi didn't hide too much.

"Prime Minister, it doesn't have to be like this. It's just kicking out those who really don't have talent, and it's not killing the family with one shot."

"My Daqin has always adhered to the idea of ​​governing the country by law, and governing the country by law is about fairness."

"However, the selection policy of court officials is completely contrary to fairness, and there are not no talented people among the common people. I just want the common people to understand that Great Qin is not a country of nobles, but a country of common people."

Feng Quji was silent for a long time, and let out a faint breath.

"What you said is very true. The old minister is narrow-minded. The people on the list submitted by the old minister today are indeed both political integrity and ability. You can take office as much as you want."

"From now on, the old minister will cooperate with the young master."

Ying Ziqi shook his head with a smile: "Father is coming back soon, so he won't cooperate with me when the time comes."

"Besides, those who resigned today should be related to the prime minister, right?"

Feng Quji also smiled at this time, but there was always a feeling of depression in his heart, which made his smile look not so happy.

"The old minister just made a suggestion."

"The old minister has no more doubts in his heart, so he resigns."

Ying Ziqi nodded and watched Feng Quji leave Zhangtai Palace.

To be honest, he was quite upset, but Ying Ziqi understood that once the aristocratic family was allowed to occupy important positions in the court, it would definitely not be conducive to the development of the country in the future, so the imperial examination was imperative.

As for Feng Quji, it can only make him sad for a while.

Feng Quji was indeed sad, but what he was sad was not the decline in the influence of the aristocratic family.

But the road of the sad family will affect the development of the country.

Not far from Xianyang, a carriage slowly moved forward on the official road.

In the past few days, there have been many letters from Xianyang.

Most of them are talking about Ying Ziqi's fault, saying that he is headstrong and does not listen to advice.

Also said that he used the power of supervising the country to force him here?Since, Xiao* said & group [9! 8; 0, 2> 0, 5. ~ 8-5/6 stay, the one who forced the courtier to resign.

Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched as he read each letter.

That's when I thought about coming back with Dun Ruo to check the situation. As for the big team, they were still far away.

"This ground?"

In this era, the wheel of a carriage was actually a piece of wood in the shape of a wheel.

There is no shaft, no shock absorption, and it is called a bump on the road.

But Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly felt that the road became very smooth as he walked.

If compared with the previous road, it seems to be floating in the air.

He couldn't help poking his head out to take a look.

Seeing this, he was immediately surprised.

Dunruo drove the car, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this ground is also made by Young Master Qi. It is said that it is called cement, and it is extremely strong."

"According to the intelligence content, the cement cannot even be damaged by a [-]-jin heavy hammer."

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard the words: "Is that true?"

Dunruo nodded and said: "There is no lie, this young master Qiguo is really talented. If cement is used in the construction of the city wall, it will definitely create a city with extremely strong defense."

Ying Zheng stroked his chin.

"You use this cement to build roads, do you know why?"

Dun Ruo shook his head: "My subordinates don't know what Young Master Qi thinks, but I can be sure that Young Master must have unique insights."

Ying Zheng hummed.

His seventh son has been a little different since he was a child.

The biggest difference is that he doesn't like the doctrines of a hundred schools of thought, especially Confucianism, which he appreciates the most.
