Ten days later, in Xianyang, Great Qin.
Now that it’s already autumn, it’s the time of the year when
Xianyang is still as usual, getting more and more bustling day by day, with countless people coming to Xianyang from all over the world every day, the
Especially since the Western Region has become part of Qin’s territory.
The merchants from the Western Regions have to cross the Great Wall, despite the high taxes.
Because here, there are the best goods in the whole world.
The simplest things are silk and porcelain, which are not found anywhere else.
Not to mention the books of wisdom.
One book has more wisdom than 500 sheets of parchment!
So, as long as you can enter Great Qin and buy these things, that would be getting rich.
You know, nowadays, as the Xiongnu people move westward, they find that a broader business path, appears in front of them.
The only thing that is a little bit confusing is that Great Qin has some restrictions on the export of books, the
But it was not a big problem.
All in all, this is a mecca for merchants.
At the moment, inside a bookstore, the owner was ordering that the
“Pack up those merchants’ books, this is the external version, don’t mix them up, or the officials will be looking for trouble.”
The fellows in the store responded at once, the
“Master, don’t worry, it can’t be wrong.”
“It’s just that, if these people sell the books, will those barbarians be able to read them?”
The shopkeeper said, unconcernedly
“Those certainly can’t read it, but yet it’s not given directly to those barbarians, it’s given to those rebels.”
Hearing this, the fellow was instantly confused, the
“They are all rebels, why do you still do business with them?”
The shopkeeper said impatiently at this time, the
“What are you asking for? As long as they buy books and pay for them, whatever they do with them.”
“Go on, go on.”
Of course, he didn’t know, and he wondered why those rebels must buy books from Great Qin. Of course, he didn’t know, and he wondered why those rebels must buy books from Great Qin.
If you really want to be a rebel, why don’t you use your own words, books from the countries in the first place?
But he didn’t care so much, instead, he was fine and looked outside, as if he was waiting for something, the
After a short while a young man came in, slowly and leisurely, and
The shopkeeper’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him, saying that the
“Son, the list of exams has been released? How many names!”
The young man said, carelessly
“Twentieth place.”
The shopkeeper frowned slightly and
“How could it be twentieth? Isn’t it usually quite good in the academy?”
The young man faintly replied back that
“Twentieth in Xianyang.”
The shopkeeper froze for a moment, then burst out laughing and
“Good good good! Hahaha! The twentieth in Xianyang, son, you’re going to make a name for yourself!”
The young man, however, said with some strangeness that
“Father, this is just a big test, what are you so excited about?”
This time, although the exam was very large and had some sort of ranking…
But it’s just a final exam.
Nothing special.
They usually have exams all the time.
The shopkeeper, however, lowered his voice and said.
“What do you know, father has news that the scholar who ranks in the front of this exam has a chance to be seen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”
Hearing this, the young man couldn’t help but get excited and
“Can be seen by His Highness the Crown Prince! Really?”
Nowadays, His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin had long since become a role model for all young people.
Everyone knew of the other party’s deeds that were comparable to legends!
The shopkeeper said with a smile, the shopkeeper said with a smile that
“Naturally it’s true, if you work harder, if you can pass the official exams, then you might be able to go to the court and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mile.” The young man suddenly became more and more excited and
Looking at the son who swore to work hard, the shopkeeper also couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Nowadays, the son of a commoner does have a chance to enter the court hall, too
He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the palace in reverie, the
How wonderful it would be for his family to really have that day.
At this time, inside the palace of Xianyang
Zhao Lang was looking at the pile of rolls in front of him, holding one in his hand, and with a few moments of envy, he said.
“How is this one practiced.”
These people’s characters, which were more standard than the printed ones, were outrageous.
After releasing the test papers, Zhao Lang quickly asked the slave on the side that
“How did the officials at all levels react to this great examination?”
He organized a big exam for Xianyang and the surrounding counties this time, and also did rankings, after all, the academies and schools were more mature in these places.
This was of course a preparation for the national grand examination to select talents afterward…
This was his big killing move to break the monopoly of the Great Qin aristocracy!
But when he heard this, Nu asked in confusion.
“Master, why are these officials reacting to this matter?”
It’s just an examination for the academy, what would one need to react to?
In these past few years, which year, or rather, which month did the academy not test this two or three times to see the progress of the students?
It’s just that the scale of this exam is a bit bigger.
But what does it matter?
Of course, Zhao Lang explained what he did, naturally he did it, so he continued to say.
“Master, officials at all levels are busy with the fall harvest, taxes are important nowadays.”
“Then there’s the matter of preparing for winter, didn’t you say that the Spring Festival is set at the end of each year after that?”
“Besides, this top ranked students are mostly the children of noble officials, everyone is too happy to be happy?”
Everyone can be busy right now as well.
Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile.
No one cared that was the best, he wanted this effect, wait until five years, or ten years later, the
he comes to a big national joint examination, perhaps the people in front of him are also still mostly disciples of noble officials, the
But what about fifteen, twenty years from now?
That huge number of people will naturally highlight the advantages.
By that time, it will be unstoppable.
The tactic of boiling a frog in warm water is the most appropriate one to use here, the
Perhaps some old foxes had already seen some clues, but now these old foxes were mostly their own people.
They won’t get in the way. They’ll even help him cover it up.
This was the benefit of taking care of the old people beforehand.
Of course, it all comes down to patience.
Putting down the roll in his hand, Zhao Lang exhaled slightly and quickly ordered that the
“Have someone write down all the examination processes this time, then slowly perfect them, they’ll all be useful in the future.”
The slave naturally led the order, and was about to leave, when an attendant hurriedly walked in and reported.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, King Tian Du of Qi has come with a letter.”
Zhao Lang raised an eyebrow and received the letter, the
Shouldn’t the other party be thinking about how to go out and stand on their own at this time, why would they still send him a letter, the
After opening the letter, Zhao Lang read it, his face suddenly became odd.
“Ah Yu actually found it there! It’s a good place.”
That place is still extremely good, but Xiang Yu has only so many people.
No wonder he wanted to let Tandu topple over…
If the other side has full control of that place, when the time comes to fight, the attrition will not be small.
But Tian Du sent to the door, not to give the other party a nail, are not good to themselves.
This favor, he helped!
