I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 93 Questions about the Imperial Examination

"Haha, then I'll take it away!"

With that said, Ying Zheng asked Ying Changsheng again.

"But when will the academy you run open?"

"Hurry up, these days!"

After thinking for a while, Ying Changsheng said.

"In addition to these noble children, can the academy also recruit students?"

"Of course we are enrolling students!"

Ying Changsheng said without thinking.

"At that time, enrollment will be held across Daqin. All students, after passing the exam, can study in the academy!"

"Oh!"

Brother Zheng nodded slightly, and then murmured again.

"However, I want to ask you, this imperial examination, when do you think it is better to take it?"

"After thinking about it now, I feel that there are some problems..."

"Where is the problem that the emperor said?"

Ying Changsheng asked.

It is a good way to take the exam to become an official.

However, in the history of China, there has been an examination system for officials since the beginning.

It has been a long process from the beginning, to maturity, and then to the peak of this system.

Just like the Tang Dynasty, although the imperial examination system has already appeared.

However, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was not as fair as the imperial examination system of the Song and Ming dynasties.

"The thing I am worried about is that although this imperial examination system sounds good, but after careful consideration, I think it is inappropriate, because there are more than 2000 million people in my Great Qin. Among them, those who can take the imperial examination , how many do you think there are?"

"Probably, there are about 10 people!"

After Ying Changsheng weighed it up, he opened his mouth and said.

"Well, that's the problem!"

Ying Zheng spread his hands and said speechlessly.

"There are so many people of different levels. Moreover, this imperial examination is for selecting talents. After being selected, they can directly become officials. It is quite attractive to the common people. After the system was announced to the world, there are already many people in the world who are ready to come to Xianyang."

"But the problem is, so many people are crowded into Xianyang, how can this be done?"

"What is the total population of Xianyang?"

"Besides, how long will it take to go from the world of my Great Qin, say from Nanjun to Xianyang of my Great Qin?"

Ying Zheng spread his hand and asked.

When Ying Changsheng heard the words, he also thought it made sense.

This is indeed a serious problem.

After all, walking from the local level to the central level is not an easy task in this era of very backward transportation methods.

Most of the time is wasted on the road.

And 10 people are wasted.

What was wasted was the national power of Great Qin!
However, immediately, Ying Changsheng grinned and said to Brother Chaozheng.

"Father, my son has already figured out how to do it. This imperial examination, if my father doesn't understand anything, just ask my son!"

"My son, I have a way to solve the problem that my father is worried about. This way is very simple!"

"It's nothing more than a series of exams!"

"Exam level by level?"

Ying Zheng murmured.

But winning longevity requires explanation.

"It's very simple. People in the world who are willing to take the imperial examination first go to the county offices in various places to take the exam. Then, one out of ten people in the county office will be selected. Those who pass the exam will be selected as scholars. Then, they will go to the county offices in various places to take the exam and select a group of local officials. Elites, there won’t be too many of them. A county can only have 30 people at most. Then, let these people come to Xianyang to take the exam. In this way, there won’t be so many people..."

"This is a good idea!"

Ying Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely, feeling that it was just right.

But Ying Changsheng, from this problem, saw another very serious problem.

He said to Ying Zheng.

"Father, how do I serve the corvee of Daqin?"

"Oh, it's the same everywhere in the Great Qin Dynasty. All the labors are all distributed by the imperial court, and then distributed to various places..."

"Father, you just said, how long does it take to go from Nanjun to Xianyang?"

Ying Changsheng asked.

"I think that I, a slave in Daqin, should reform it!"

Well, the problem of Da Qin's slaves is indeed serious.

However, perhaps the unification was too fast, and Daqin has never noticed the problem.

That is, the people of the world, whether they are southerners or northerners, no matter how far away from the Great Wall they are.

However, they all have to go to the Great Wall to perform labor or military service.

This can't be done.

How long does it take to walk from the south to the Great Wall in this era?
It turned out that before the Qin Dynasty unified the world.

The place is small, so it can still be done. After all, the original Daqin was not big.

There is absolutely no need to think about this issue.

But now, the world occupied by Daqin is so big that a trip back and forth is timed by the month.

Under such circumstances, how much time would the guards have to waste on the road?

"How long does it take for my servant of Great Qin to walk from the south to the north?"

"If I go back again, I'm afraid there will be more flowers, right?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng's face suddenly changed.

Yes, most of the time, I was on the road!
It's no wonder that the people of Daqin are so dissatisfied with the imperial court.

After all, serving in the military service is nothing more than that.

It's okay to be a garrison soldier.

However, it was a waste of time on the road for several months.

This is so cute, who wants it?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said it right away.

"Hey, why didn't I think about this problem?"

"My Great Qin unified the world so quickly, no one has reacted..."

Ying Changsheng smiled and comforted Brother Zheng.

But then, Brother Zheng frowned again and murmured.

"It's just that these will lead to the formation of separatist regimes between regions..."

Well, it’s not like no one in Da Qin has thought about this problem.

It's just that everyone has such a concern.

But Ying Changsheng laughed loudly.

"Isn't this simple? Why don't we just keep them in the local area? We don't move the southerners to the north, but we can rotate them to other counties!"

"That's a way!"

Ying Zheng slapped his thigh and said.

Feeling much better instantly.

He nodded.

"With a son like this, what more can a father ask for? I am satisfied with a son like you!"

As he spoke, Brother Zheng estimated the time and realized that it was already meal time, so he asked Ying Changsheng.

"Chang Sheng, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Daqin only has two meals in the morning and evening. However, Ying Changsheng, a descendant, naturally eats three meals a day. Therefore, he also brought the habit of three meals to Daqin. Right now, it is time to eat lunch. Ying Changsheng thinks After a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"Boil lamb!"

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng nodded and gave instructions to the eunuch.

"Get ready to boil the mutton!"
