After receiving the list handed over by Chu Yi, Zhao Wen counted it first and found that there were only more than 600 people.
Thousands of people applied for the exam. As long as they used Qin Wen and wrote fluent articles, they could be admitted. However, only a few hundred people were admitted. The level of education in this era was lower than Zhao Wen had imagined.
I secretly regretted that among the more than 600 people, there was no familiar name except Li Shiqi.
But it is enough for more than 600 people.
"Publish the list. Tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet in the Chu Palace to congratulate them!"
In the future, there will be a deer singing banquet for the imperial examination. This is the first imperial examination. Zhao Wen still hopes to continue this habit starting from himself.
Zhao Wenke planned to train these people according to the county order. As long as they can govern a county well, they can govern a county well.
Especially now that the country has just been founded, various policies have changed greatly, which is the most training for people.
"Most of these people will be placed in the three counties and townships, and Xiao He and Fan Zeng will prepare them. They will tell these people how to govern. At the same time, they can also find some old officials to report all the problems that can be encountered in the countryside.
Write it down!"
Zhao Wenke remembered that in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang compiled a manual for county magistrates and wrote down all the things that county magistrates needed to do. In the early Ming Dynasty, the education level was also not high, but there were still enough officials to kill. This is definitely
The most important thing.
"I passed the exam!" A middle-aged man in obviously shabby clothes shouted loudly, but no one around him disliked it. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man with envy on his face.
This exam was personally selected by the Twentieth Prince. As long as he passed the exam, he would be the Twentieth Prince's person.
The Twentieth Prince is the wisest among the current princes of the Qin Dynasty, and he is very likely to inherit the throne in the future. For this middle-aged man to join the Twentieth Prince, his future can be said to be limitless.
"I wonder if you, sir, have ever had a wife?"
A man who looked like a butler squeezed over, bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man and asked.
"My family is poor and I haven't married yet!" The middle-aged man said with a shy look on his face. He had not yet married at his age. In this era, he would be laughed at.
"That's great. My master has a daughter who is as beautiful as a fairy. If you are willing, sir, not only will you get a dowry of a hundred catties of gold, but you will also be given a house in Shouchun City. I wonder if you would like that, sir!"
"ah!"
When such a good thing comes to his door, the middle-aged man obviously wants to agree, but when he looks around, there is a look of embarrassment on his face. There must be some admitted among them, and they will all be colleagues in the future. If he agrees, will he be able to do so in the future?
Laugh at yourself.
Seeing that the middle-aged man did not refuse, the old housekeeper was very sensible and pushed the middle-aged man out with a few servants, and disappeared after a while.
Such things kept happening in front of the Chu Palace. On that day, Shouchun City was full of sounds of weddings.
"Catch your son-in-law!"
Listening to Chu Yi and Chu Er talking about what happened when the results were released, Zhao Wen almost laughed out loud.
If it wasn't for his inappropriate identity, he would have wanted to go and see it with his own eyes. After all, he had heard a lot about it, but he had never seen it before.
However, the occurrence of such a thing is enough to show that the wealthy people in Chu are optimistic about themselves, so they dare to marry their daughters when these people do not even have a specific position.
But at the same time, a new trouble arose. The official he had just admitted was already connected with the nobles of Chu.
Chu Yi whispered from the side: "Similar to the Ming Dynasty, these people have many daughters in their families. If they give up a daughter and spend some money, if they can tie up an official, the money spent can be recovered at least ten times in the future!"
"Even if this official is not of the same mind as them, as long as he has this relationship, he can still use the other party's identity to intimidate others!"
There was nothing that happened during the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yi and Chu Er had heard a lot about these things, and they told Zhao Wen the pros and cons one by one.
"The strategy of migrating wealthy people from various places to enrich Guanzhong cannot be implemented in a short time. Otherwise, no matter what power and status these people have in various counties, in front of a group of military nobles, they are just a group of rich locals with only money.
There will definitely be someone to teach them how to behave!"
Chu One and Chu Two nodded at the same time. They both knew that the Great Qin was not only counting the population of various places, but was also implementing reclamation orders, and was even recruiting troops to replace the veterans of Qin.
It was just a land reclamation order that turned countless slaves who had previously hidden in the homes of nobles everywhere into common people who could pay taxes. For these nobles, the losses were so great that they could probably wail in the middle of the night.
Coupled with the changes in books, vehicles, and coins and language, the current Qin Dynasty will definitely not be able to withstand any setbacks.
With so many things implemented at the same time, if a relocation order is added to it, there will definitely be desperate measures.
Even the First Emperor does not dare to force the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms too much now.
"By the way, call Li Shiqi to me!"
People from the strategist family are definitely not suitable to be placed as local officials. This is simply the biggest waste.
It just so happens that Zhao Wen has something here that only the Zongheng faction can accomplish.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" Li Shiqi was summoned by His Highness just after the announcement was made. He already knew in his heart that His Highness must need him for something.
As for the strategist, he was not afraid of trouble, but was afraid that he would be of no value to the superiors. Hearing His Highness's call, he immediately rushed over as quickly as possible.
"Do you know the dozen or so vassal states of the Chu State?" Zhao Wen asked with a gentle face as he sat upright at the top to show his respect.
"I know!"
We have been in Shouchun for more than a month, and we can see goods coming from the south every day. Recently, a large number of slaves have been transported. In Li Shiqi's view, this is already a countdown to the demise of more than a dozen small countries in the south.
.
While guessing in his mind the reason why His Highness asked him, he answered.
"You go visit these dozen small countries in my name and tell them that Jiujiang County needs a large number of slaves now. As long as they are shipped here, I will take as many as they have!"
Unlike people of this era who believed that the dozen or so countries in the south were already marginal places, Zhao Wen knew that behind these dozen or so small countries, there were still a large number of tribes and even countries.
If you send out troops to snatch slaves yourself, there is no way to let these people transport them yourself.
"Your Highness is brilliant!"
Li Shiqi looked at Zhao Wen in amazement. To transport a large number of slaves, roads must be needed. These people are more familiar with the local roads. Maybe it won't be long before there will be a smooth road leading to the south.
The road to the country appears.
If some of these small countries are greedy and seize each other's slaves, their national strength will be greatly damaged.
By then, His Highness will be able to wipe out these dozen small countries without any effort!
