Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Exam·==

When Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others were attacking everywhere in the grassland, Xianyang also did not rest idle.

The first is the supply of food and grass for the army.

The characteristic of fighting on the grassland is that the front line is extremely long and the route may change at any time. It has become a very difficult thing to supply the army with food and grass.

But fortunately, Ying Zheng had expected it.

When he decided to attack the Touman tribe, he had already decided to take down the Donghu, Yuezhi and other tribes by the way, so when he first planned the route of transporting supplies, he had already taken the location of other tribes into consideration.

So when Li Xin captured the Touman tribe, and Meng Tian led troops to sweep the Donghu and other tribes, the trains leading to these places also connected to these places in time, and successfully delivered the food and grass to Meng Tian and Li Xin.

To achieve this, human, financial and material resources are naturally indispensable.

When Xianyang led the troops to fight, he was also busy arranging these resources.

And for the common people, these things are not far away——

Anyone who bought a newspaper at home could not have missed the latest news of the war between the army and the nomads.

……

It has been more than a year since Lin Qian returned to Xianyang. Apart from the occasional battle reports from the front line, life is peaceful and warm, with almost no disturbances.

But something big is about to happen...

The first batch of students who entered the school have successfully advanced to the sixth grade and are about to take the final exam.

Once they pass the final exam, they will be able to get a graduation certificate, so as to find a better job or enter junior high school to continue their studies; left.

After Ying Zheng heard the news, he was very concerned about it.

It's just that there are frequent battle reports from the front line. Ying Zheng, Li Si and others must focus more on the front line battle reports to prevent any unexpected situations from being dealt with in time, so there is no way to leave Xianyang Palace for too long.

But the school's first batch of graduating students is of great significance, and it is impossible for Ying Zheng to ignore it completely.

So Lin Qian was sent to the school.

When she arrived, the school teacher was mobilizing the students for the final exam——

"Everyone has studied hard for six years, so much hardship and exhaustion have been exhausted. If you fail the last exam and fail to get a graduation certificate, you will have to repeat the study for another year, or even have no chance to repeat it. Ask yourself if you are losing money?!"

"Think about it again, the curriculum of junior high school is different from that of elementary school. Not only have physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects been added, but also courses such as Qin law and military art that you yearn for. In the past, these knowledge could only be learned by nobles. ! If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life and shed tears..."

Lin Qian stood outside the classroom with strange eyes.

She wanted to listen again, but because she was discovered by the principal, she could only follow him to the office.

After sitting down, the principal asked directly: "I don't know that Gu Fenghou is here today, but for the graduation exam in a few days?"

Lin Qian smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

The principal swallowed: "This is also the first time we hold graduation exams, if Gu Fenghou has any comments or thinks there is something wrong, please don't mind, just tell me, we will definitely improve as soon as possible. "

Lin Qian quickly shook her head: "The exam hasn't started yet, how would I know what's wrong?"

But the headmaster immediately revealed his arrangements for the exam: "Actually, the graduation exam is not much different from the final exam of each previous year. It is still the exam with other grades, and the invigilator is a cross between each grade."

Lin Qian was stunned: "No more?"

The principal glanced at Lin Qian, hesitantly said: "It's gone."

Lin Qian was a little surprised: "After all, it is a graduation exam. After getting the graduation certificate, you can go outside to find a job. Personally, I think it should be more serious."

The principal was a little dazed: "I also ask Gu Fenghou to give me some advice."

Lin Qian has never been to school, and she doesn't know exactly what the primary school graduation exam is, but...

She knows what the college entrance examination is like!

Although using the college entrance examination system in elementary school seems to be a bit of a fuss, but when nine-year compulsory education was not implemented and only those who passed the grades could go to higher education, it seems necessary to treat every graduation exam as a college entrance examination. .

After all, many students may not enter junior high school even after obtaining a diploma.

The graduation certificate is the future passport of these students.

So she told the principal all she knew about the separate exams for each grade, the system of aliasing, unified marking and so on.

The principal was stunned when he heard this: "Is it necessary to do so much preparation for an exam? Is this too exaggerated?"

The person who can be selected as the principal must at least not be stupid.

After hearing these measures from Lin Qian and knowing how they were implemented, he immediately knew that these measures were to prevent cheating in the exam——

Some are to prevent candidates from cheating in exams, while others are to prevent teachers from grading papers for personal gain.

but……

is it necessary?

Just a small primary school diploma.

Lin Qian laughed: "Since this exam is to select talents for us Qin, the most basic fairness still needs to be achieved. Don't be afraid of trouble and exaggeration, or think too much, just don't be afraid of trouble and think more, and finally Only then can the results be truly fair and just.”

The headmaster paused and nodded: "I'm afraid it's too late for the national unified grading, but it's still possible to let the graduates take the exam individually by abusing their names and postponing the exam time."

Lin Qian smiled: "That's fine, I'll wait for your good news."

……

Xiang Yu and Xiang You, as graduates, naturally have to take this year's graduation exam.

But I don't know what happened. The exam time was originally set, but in the end it was suddenly changed, saying that they were going to take the exam alone.

Xiang Yu doesn't care, his academic performance has always been very good, no matter when the exam is, or what the exam is about, he is confident enough to get good grades and successfully get a diploma.

Xiang You also thought the same way.

There is no difference between the time and content of the exam for her, so she doesn't need to pay attention at all.

but……

The rest of the Xiang family are in some trouble.

Before the school recruited students, it also recruited a group of teachers.

All capable people in the Xiang family, except Xiang Liang, all ran to sign up, and the final result was quite gratifying——

There were many applicants for the Xiang family, and nearly a quarter of them were successfully admitted in the end.

Don't underestimate this quarter, you must know that it is this seemingly shabby figure that has successfully restored the Xiang family's reputation in the local area, and the attitude of the local people towards the Xiang family has improved a lot because of this.

But in contrast, the children of the Xiang family must be sent to Xianyang to study.

Xiang Yu and Xiang Ni are okay, the former is unrestrained but smart, the latter is smart and calm, so he didn't give up his studies when he arrived in Xianyang, and he still got the top one or two in the class every time he took the exam.

But the other Xiang family members have neither Xiang Yu's head nor Xiang You's self-control.

In the absence of parents to keep an eye on them all the time, even if Xiang Liang often tested them, he couldn't stop their grades from dropping like a flood.

There are more than ten Xiang family children who came to Xianyang, but only five of them successfully entered the sixth grade——

Others either failed the exams and failed to advance to higher education, or violated school rules and disciplines, and were directly repeated for inspection.

But even for the five people who have successfully entered higher education, except for Xiang Yu and Xiang You, it is still difficult to pass the last exam.

So after hearing that the exam time had been changed, the other three became extremely anxious.

At first Xiang Yu and the two could understand.

After all, I have no confidence, and it is true that a little trouble may cause mood swings.

But after a few days passed, these three people still looked anxious...

Not to mention Xiang You, who has always observed carefully, even Xiang Yu, who is usually careless and doesn't care about details, has noticed something is wrong.

The two found an opportunity to block people directly.

Xiang Yu asked fiercely: "Say, what are you hiding from us?"

When the three of them faced Xiang Yu alone, they might still have some fluke mentality, but after seeing Xiang Yu and Xiang You appearing at the same time, they were like quails who had been bullied. They all huddled together, trembling non-stop.

Xiang Yu: "???"

He cursed angrily: "I haven't had time to do anything yet. To whom are you showing this picture of being bullied? Have you seen Xiang You? She will testify to me, even in front of my uncle. I'm not wrong at all!"

Xiang You glanced at Xiang Yu and sighed helplessly.

Without waiting for Xiang Yu to speak, she walked directly in front of the three of them: "All of your abnormal reactions are after the school changed the exam time and announced that it may introduce other measures to prevent exams...Let me guess, you wouldn't think Want to cheat?"

Xiang You stared at the faces of the three of them, and frowned instantly, "It's really true? Are you crazy? If you are caught, the reputation of the entire Xiang family will be ruined!"

Xiang Yu realized the seriousness of the matter, and glared at the three of them: "Are you tired of living?!"

The three of them bowed their heads and wept all the time.

Xiang Yu hated this kind of crying boy the most, and immediately turned around annoyed: "Forget it, I'll go find my uncle right now!"

The three of them were scared, and hurriedly opened their mouths to explain.

Then, Xiang Yu and Xiang You knew why these three people were so afraid——

It was because they had already prepared for cheating before, and now that the exam time is changed, it seems that the location and method of the exam will no longer be the same as before, so their previous preparations are not only in vain, but may also be discovered by others The preparations they made before...

Xiang You and Xiang Yu looked at each other, and immediately realized that this matter was completely beyond the control of the two of them, and hurriedly dragged the three of them to Xiang Liang's study.

After some conversation, Xiang Liangteng got up suddenly: "Do you three have any brains?"

After speaking, he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately went to the school to find the principal.

== Western Regions ==

Fortunately, the exam hadn't happened yet. Not only did Xiang Liang "voluntarily plead guilty", but now he was approaching the exam and caused troubles to distract the students. So after some consideration, the principal finally chose to calm down.

It's just that when the exam was held later, the principal, who originally planned to have only one teacher invigilate the exam, suddenly recruited some teachers from the lower grades to invigilate the exam with the previous teacher.

Students may cheat, and the teacher may also hang up.

And after this incident happened, the principal organized people to check all the desks, classroom walls, the floor, etc., and caught dozens of students who wanted to cheat during the exam. Students in other grades, but more graduating sixth graders.

The principal no longer finds Lin Qian's series of suggestions bothersome——

What trouble?This is obviously a rainy day!

……

After such a strict defense, no one cheated in the subsequent exams; and because of various measures to prevent teachers from cheating, the grading was also fair and just.

In this exam, the principal can pat his chest to assure that there is absolutely no problem of favoritism or fraud.

When the test results came out, looking at the above results, a sense of pride that my family's students had grown up could not help but arise from the principal's chest.

When Lin Qian came over to check the grades, he happened to meet the principal: "Are you checking the grades too?"

The headmaster got up immediately, thanked Lin Qian first, then nodded and said: "As soon as the grades come out, it's better for the general manager to see if there are any mistakes or omissions."

After speaking, hand over the report card to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian took it, exchanged some pleasantries with him, and then picked up the report card and started to read it.

then……

Lin Qian saw Xiang Yu's name, followed by Xiang You.

Seeing that her eyes were fixed on a certain place, the principal couldn't help asking, "Did Gu Fenghou see the name of an acquaintance?"

Lin Qian regained consciousness and said with a smile, "No, I'm just curious about seeing several people with the surname Xiang."

The headmaster suddenly said: "Most of them are from one family. They are all from Chu, descendants of Xiang Yan from the original state of Chu. Someone signed up for a teacher before and was selected, so all the children of the Xiang family were sent to Xianyang. The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Liang , and some other talented Xiang family members have also moved to Xianyang, it seems to be to accompany their children to study."

"However, all the other adults live in the city, and only Xiang Liang went to school with his two children."

Before the construction of each school, the problem of student dormitories is considered. After all, the land is sparsely populated, and the students of the school live outside the city. In order to allow them to concentrate on their studies and to prevent accidents, every student must live in a dormitory. coming.

Some families with more children can go to school with one parent to take care of them.

Lin Qian nodded, but her eyes fell on the names of Xiang You and Xiang Yu, and she couldn't take her eyes off.

Of course, she didn't want to do anything to Xiang Yu, but she was a little curious...

Forget about Xiang Yu, where did you come up with this item, and you can still put Xiang Yu's name behind.

And the name sounds like a girl.

Seeing that she was interested, the principal introduced each of Xiang's family members.

Lin Qian laughed: "Is she really a girl? This is interesting."

The Xiang family seemed to support Xiang Yu with all their strength before, but now that a better Xiang You has emerged, they don't know what they will do in the future.

……

Transcripts will be released soon.

After the students and parents read it, some were happy while others were sad.

But in general, those who pass are much happier than those who fail: even if they can't read on, they have more opportunities.

For example, one of the little girls whose family was poor and whose parents were unwilling to let her study, now that she has obtained her primary school diploma, she can at least do some light but more lucrative jobs.

Lin Qian copied a transcript and handed it to Ying Zheng.

After reading it, Ying Zheng asked, "How many of these qualified people have signed up for junior high school?"

Lin Qian sighed: "More than half."

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "You don't seem happy?"

"Happy, why aren't you happy?" Lin Qian twitched her lips, "Although there are still some girls who have to give up their studies because they have no sponsors, at least after they get their diplomas, their lives are much better than before. Things have to be done step by step, and you can’t become fat in one go.”

Ying Zheng laughed: "I think you don't need to be so pessimistic."

Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what Ying Zheng meant.

Ying Zheng put down the report card: "Since they have already obtained their graduation certificates, how difficult is it to earn tuition fees? Although boys need [-] yuan to enroll in junior high school alone, there is no such limit for women to enroll alone. Sixty It’s money, as long as you work hard, you won’t fail to earn it.”

Many positions related to the imperial court are paid well, and graduation certificates are recognized.

Lin Qian paused, and instantly became happy: "I forgot about this."

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "As long as you have the heart, you will always be able to enter the school. Don't worry about this anymore, but come here for the sake of the widow. Do you want to fight against the countries of the Western Regions?"

Lin Qian paused: "The countries in the Western Regions?"

Ying Zheng nodded helplessly: "Yes, that man Li Xin turned into a runaway horse. After taking down Hujie, he learned about the existence of the Western Regions from Hujie's population, and even rode his horse to The countries in the Western Regions went for a walk, and it seems that those small countries are scared out of their wits."

"After taking down Yueshi and Wusun, Li Xin greeted Meng Tian directly, and took Han Xin and others to the Western Regions."

"Just yesterday, Li Xin wrote to say that he had arrived in Loulan."

Lin Qian stood up instantly: "Loulan?"

Ying Zheng glanced at her: "Yes, Loulan. Before Li Xin arrived in Loulan, he seemed to have encountered other small countries, but because the country was too small and the army was insufficient, he chose to bow down to my Great Qin almost immediately after Li Xin's soldiers approached the city. .”

"The Loulan seems to be one of the more powerful countries in the Western Regions, so after Li Xin led his troops to the city gate, he did not choose to surrender. Reply to ask."

Lin Qian blinked: 【The meaning of this is, if there is no problem with the food and grass, Li Xin will fight right away? 】

Ying Zheng was amused, but still nodded his head: "I remember you mentioned the countries of the Western Regions before. It seems that there are many good things there? So I want to ask you how powerful the countries of the Western Regions are."

If the national strength is strong, this battle will not be fought for the time being——

No matter how powerful the Mohist disciples are, it is impossible to lay the railway to the Western Regions so quickly; but if horses are used to transport grain and grass, the consumption will be too great.

But if the countries in the Western Regions are not strong, it seems that this battle is not impossible.
