Hearing another unfamiliar name from the mouth of the village elder, Xing felt even more strange. The previous Great Qin Protectorate Academy, which he had not yet figured out, now had another Central Academy.
But one thing I heard is that the Protectorate Academy is supposed to educate people in the military, and the Central Academy is to educate officials. Even you are qualified to participate in the selection of the Central Academy?
This... is such a surprise!
Although I don’t know what kind of place the Central Academy is, it is enough to be an official after three years. Staying in Xiahe Village, I saw the biggest spectacle, which was the county where the Qin Dynasty drought entered the village two years ago.
Cheng.
"Central Academy?"
"Read and read?"
"Eighteen hundred people!"
"..."
Not only was Xing feeling strange and expectant at this moment, but Lin and the others on the side also exclaimed, compared to soldiers, it is better to read and read. According to rumors, Lord Shang is a learned man.
If they can read and write, they can become people like Lord Shang. Even if they are not like Lord Shang, they can still become big shots like those in the county.
It's a pity that when I came out of the Central Academy, I didn't get a title, and I didn't come out of the National Protectorate Academy to show off.
"Okay, hurry up and get ready."
"Later, you will start practicing for the selection. A total of five people will be selected from you, but you will have to use your full strength."
The village elder glanced around and ordered to go down. The training and selection in the village was also very simple. It was just to see if they could run fast and see which of them could lift heavier objects...
Later, some people in the village also started to help, bringing in neat large rocks, an old incense burner, and a few incense sticks, and everything was ready.
Hearing the sound, Xing had no choice but to stay aside and quietly watch Lin and the others' performance later.
At the same time, similar scenes appeared in major counties and villages throughout the Qin State. The fame of the Great Qin National Protective Academy and the Great Qin Central Academy spread throughout the Qin State.
It spread throughout Qin and abroad.

"Father, this is the news that has come from Nanyang, Qianzhong and Bajun in Qin State in recent months."
The land of Pingyu was an important place on the border between the Chu State and the Wei State in the north. It was close to the terrain of the Central Plains, with a vast Pingchuan River and north of Huaibei. It was really difficult to serve as a buffer. Therefore, the Chu State deployed heavy troops in it.
Profitable generals were dispatched to guard the camp. The tents were arranged in a square formation, and they were all on guard. Inside the shogunate of the Chinese army, Xiang Yan was wearing silver armor, an eagle helmet on his head, and a long sword hanging on his waist.
Keep looking at the map.
The map on it mostly covers the Huaibei area of the Chu State, with many Bashu counties of the Qin State included, as well as Hanzhong, Nanyang and other places. As for the Han and Wei states in the north, it is also included, just like a small Zhuxia land.
.
He led the army in the Chu Kingdom for more than 30 years. His victory over Zhuang Ji made him one of the top families in the Chu Kingdom. The Xiang clan's troops under his command were brave and good at fighting and became famous throughout the Chu Kingdom.
.
It is a pity that in recent years, when the king of the country is young and Li Yuan controls the government, he has secretly divided the Xiang clan. Judging from his plan, he also wants to disturb the entire old gentry clan of Chu Kingdom.
While he was looking at the map of the Central Plains countries, a man suddenly walked in outside the tent. He was young, handsome, and full of heroic spirit. He was the third son Xiang Liang. He was a master of military strategies and strategies, and he was his military assistant who had entrusted him with important tasks.
"Has the person you picked ever been selected?"
While taking the secret letter from Xiang Liang's hand, paper is indeed a good thing. If it weren't for paper, many things would be quite inconvenient. When I think of paper, I think of the creator of paper, Taoist Tianzong Xuan Qingzi, who is now
Marquis Wu Zhen of Qin State.
He has a high position and is a Taoist, but he has become the most popular Marquis of Guannei in the Qin State. Things are really unpredictable. When it comes to merit, Xiang Yan has nothing to say. The last time Qin and Zhao fought, Marquis Wu Zhen
A surprise attack on Baixingkou, with the help of Haotian's power, spread to the six countries of Shandong.
I have also heard that if I want to change my position, I am afraid that if I want to capture Baixingkou, I will have to spend a lot of strength. The Jedi cannot do what the opponent did. 50,000 cavalry rampaged across the territory of Zhao State. In the battle of Yi'an, they captured
Zhao general Lian Po beheaded many people.
It's just... the other party also has the qualifications to obtain the title of Marquis of Guannei!
The success of attacking Zhao, the success of Nanyang 600 Li, plus the success of conquering Shushan, not to mention the contribution of the two great palaces that are now famous among the six countries in Shandong, especially the contribution of the two great palaces. With this alone, Xiang Yan
It is not an exaggeration to confer the title of Marquis on one person.
Great Qin National Protectorate Academy!
Daqin Central Academy!
With one military and one literary, with the current power of the Qin State, Xiang Yan can almost imagine what those two academic palaces will look like in five or ten years. Now the Qin State's intentions are known to everyone in the world.
The appearance of the Great Qin National Protector Academy at this time is tantamount to adding more power to a tiger!
Xiang Yan of the nine major academies has also understood it, and Xiang Yan even has a list of doctors and teachers from the nine major academies, but even then, there is not much he can do.
He was just a secret agent of the Chu State in the Qin State, hoping to be selected into the National Protectorate Academy or even the Central Academy.
"Among the three counties of Hanzhong, Nanyang and Qianzhong, a total of more than 30 people have entered the county selection. If nothing happens, there is a high possibility of entering the Qin Kingdom Protectorate Academy."
"As for the Central Academy, the son is already making preparations and will not disappoint his father. The father and the son feel that spending such a huge price just for five or ten years is the person who can use it.
Isn’t that a little too cautious?”
Xiang Liang also knew about the two great palaces of the Qin State. The Protective Academy educated 1,000 people nationwide, and the Central Academy educated 1,800 people nationwide. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to say that the temptation in the Protected Academy of Qin was really
big.
As long as you can enter it and stay for three years, you can obtain the title of a hairpin, and become a centurion in the army. Promotion is also a priority. Even I feel that the National Protectorate Academy is giving too much preferential treatment.
In order to better explore the two palaces, my father had ordered a month ago to spend a lot of money to mobilize Qin's secret agents, hoping to enter the two palaces to plan for the future.
Indeed, it is indeed possible to plan now, but the growth of the Israeli army will never take a few years to rise to the top, especially for local officials.
"Do you think the two academic palaces of Qin State can be established in Chu State?"
Xiang Yan did not answer his son's question, but asked instead.
Although the treatment of the Great Qin Protectorate Academy after three years is very good, they have the qualifications!
First of all, they are all capable men in the Qin State who are almost one in a thousand or one in a thousand. This alone is quite precious. If they are allowed to go to the battlefield, they can easily obtain military honors. In three years, they can only win a hairpin.
Centurion is not difficult either.
The most important thing when staying in the academy is the training of military strategists. Nine courtyards have been set up, covering all arms of the Xia Dynasty. They can meet each other. When the Qin Kingdom is conquered, they will not lack the talents of generals.
Compared with the current shortage of good generals in Chu, it is necessary to make judgments!
The more important point is that the King of Qin will control different forces in the army from now on. From now on, the generals, generals and others in the army will only obey the orders of the King of Qin, rather than the high-prestige generals in the army.
The monarch is in charge of the general situation, and the blessing of King Qin is now beginning to show his talent. This is really not good news for the six countries of Shandong. Xiang Yan can't help but feel excited when thinking about the wonders of the two great palaces.
"This... I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Although Xiang Liang was unwilling to admit it, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to establish two such academic palaces in Chu.
The reason why the Qin State dared to do this and give lower quotas to various counties was because after Shang Yang's reform, the power of the old gentry was almost gone, and the decrees of Xianyang Palace could go directly to the counties.
The government decrees were smooth, and the Qin State was full of legal principles, feudal states, and no fiefdoms. There was not much difference between the old Qin people from each other. On the other hand, the Chu State was very different.
The power of the three major families, Qu, Zhao, and Jing, is becoming more and more powerful. If the Chu State establishes such a school, the beneficiaries will only be the aristocratic families, not ordinary Chu people. It is impossible for truly outstanding Chu people to come forward.
In this way, the result was not what the King of Chu wanted to see, let alone what his father wanted to see.
"If Yin Wuqi could have accomplished the reform back then, I wonder what the state of Chu would be like today."
"The State of Qin has these two great palaces. Their practicality comes first, which is very different from the reputation of the Jixia Academy for raising scholars. Five years later, they will be put to great use. During this period, one by one with military strategists and strategists will join the army.
All the relatives who have learned from hundreds of schools of thought rushed to the counties and counties of Qin State."
"Son, within a hundred years, my father will hardly see the possibility of Qin's decline!"
Xiang Yan is so angry!
I hate that the state of Chu is now in chaos!
I hate that Qin is becoming more and more powerful!
I hate that those aristocratic families in Yingdu are still only guarding their own interests at this time of national crisis. Don’t you know that they are dying? If the Chu Kingdom disappears, they will no longer exist.
"Father, in terms of the vastness of its territory, Chu State is not inferior to Qin State in any way, and in terms of the number of people, Chu State is not inferior to Qin State in any way."
"My son thinks that what we lack when going abroad now is a talented and strategic King of Chu. As long as we reorganize the country's politics, we may not have no chance of becoming strong!"
Xiang Liang nodded in response. Although he agreed with his father's words, he also felt that his father valued Qin too much. Although Qin was very strong, Chu was not weaker than Qin in terms of military strength or civilian power.
All they lack is a talented leader like King Huai.
"What you said is true, but it's a pity that in the capital of Ying, Li Yuan is exercising power, and Qu, Zhao, and Jing are tired of protecting themselves and do not dare to compete with them. If they continue, how can they be worry-free as a father?"
"Uncle Xiang, is there something important?"
With a long sigh, he gently stroked his short beard under his chin with one hand. In terms of military strength and civilian strength, Chu State was indeed not weaker than Qin State, but his son did not see the deeper layer, which was the true national strength.
It is true as the son said, if a bright ruler appears in the Chu Kingdom, the decline of the country's power may not be inevitable.
Just as he was about to say something more, suddenly, outside the military tent, the boy Xiang Bo, wearing heavy armor, walked in hastily. This made Xiang Yan a little unhappy and shouted in a deep voice.
"Father, there are two people outside the military camp who want to see me. This is their identification. They said that Father will understand."
Xiang Bo was slightly out of breath. When he was patrolling the barracks just now, he met two strange men, wearing cloaks. They were quite mysterious. From the temperament point of view, they were not ordinary people. He did not dare to neglect them. That was the case.
As he spoke, he handed the evidence in his hand to his father. There was only one word on it. He couldn't tell what the origin of the two people was, but if they said they were of noble status, Xiang Bo felt it was impossible.
In recent years, following my father, all the noble people in the Chu Kingdom have met not only the eighth or ninth level, but also the seventh or eighth level, but they have never met each other.
"Well, cud!"
"Could it be...it's him? It must be him!"
The evidence obtained from Xiang Bo's hand was either a side object or a wooden token with the Chu State's divine totem imprinted on it, with the character "Cu" on the front and a simple map on the back.
Xiang Yan looked at it carefully, and suddenly, he let out a low cry, and his eyes bloomed with bright light.
