Chapter 97 Selection of talents and creation of imperial examination(1/2)
After a while,
Outside the palace, there was a tall and fit man with slightly dark skin.
A young man with facial features similar to Qin Shihuang and Hu Hai stepped in.
He is the eldest son of Zulong,
The Crown Prince of the Empire——
Young Master Fusu!
Because he was resolute and brave since childhood and had outstanding military talents,
So a few years ago,
The First Emperor specially sent him to the northern border to resist the Yuan Empire's invasion of Qin.
And he and Meng Tian built the Great Wall together.
over the years,
It is rare for father and son to see each other more than once a year.
Seeing my eldest son,
Qin Shihuang’s eyes were clear,
After looking at it for a while,
He sighed:
"Fusu, you are a little taller now, but your face also has some traces of vicissitudes of life."
"It seems that the northern part of the frontier is really hard on people."
Fusu bowed and said:
"That's true."
Then he asked worriedly:
"Has my father's dragon body gotten better these days when my son has been away?"
As early as when he came back last time,
The First Emperor was already suffering from illness.
Now I see Zulong looking ugly,
Fusu became increasingly worried.
Qin Shi Huang was well aware of his physical condition.
Knowing that my life is not long,
But he didn't want to tell the matter,
Add fear to your children,
It even caused turmoil in the empire.
"I'm fine."
"No need to worry Fusu."
Zulong said calmly.
Fusu was delighted when he heard this:
"My father is in good health, and my sons and ministers can rest assured."
"With my father here, the empire will be peaceful and prosperous!"
It's a pity,
This is just a lie.
A lie to comfort Fusu.
Qin Shihuang knew that
If Xu Fu, who went to sea to seek immortality, could not bring back the elixir of immortality,
Then his lifespan may not last more than a year!
And once he dies,
The Qin Empire will definitely cause turmoil!
For today’s plan,
Only at the last moment of his life,
Lay the foundation stone for the Qin Empire!
And if you want to make Da Qin stable and prosperous,
It is necessary to recruit a group of excellent reserve talents with real talents and learning.
He glanced at the young masters Fusu, Hu Hai and Ying Yinman standing in front of him.
Ying Zheng said softly:
"Just right."
"All three of you, brother and sister, are here today."
"I'm here to test you."
"I want to promote talents for Da Qin, but I don't have a suitable method."
"You might as well use your brains and make suggestions for me."
When the three people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
“Promoting talent?”
"This is really critical."
"Selecting talents and promoting talents has been a country's top priority since ancient times and should not be underestimated."
"..."
After the three brothers and sisters pondered for a moment,
The First Emperor looked at Fusu first and asked:
"Fusu, you are the elder brother, you should speak first."
The young master held Su Chengzhu in his chest, took a step forward and said:
"I believe that the only way to select talents is through recommendation."
"If you are talented, you must be outstanding."
"Since he is outstanding, he will definitely be famous in the countryside."
"We can distribute quotas to counties and recommend talented people from counties and counties."
"In this way, we can quickly recruit excellent sages."
After hearing this, Qin Shihuang remained silent and silent.
On the side, Yin Man quietly thought in his heart:
"Isn't this the filial piety and integrity system that later flourished in the Han Dynasty?"
“It turns out that the prototype of this system was proposed by Fusu.”
"Fusu really has two skills. As soon as it was exported, it established a selection system that has been popular for hundreds of years."
At this time Qin Shihuang looked at Hu Hai again,
asked:
"Hu Hai, what do you think?"
Hu Hai immediately said:
"Report to Father."
"My elder brother and I have some different ideas."
Qin Shihuang narrowed his eyes:
"oh?"
"What's the difference? Tell me."
Hu Hai first questioned the plan proposed by Fusu:
"Brother, what I mean is to recommend talents based on reputation."
"But throughout the ages, there have always been people who seek fame and reputation."
