Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 266 Chapter 260 Four, opening of the imperial examination
However, what Zhao Zheng said about not being willing to sell his daughter casually is still unrealistic, because it has been a custom for thousands of years. If the buying and selling of girls is not allowed, then the rich family will have no source of servants.

In the end, he had to give an order that women should contribute to the world by giving birth and should not be killed at will.

From then on, Renyazi only allowed the buying and selling of women who willingly sold themselves. Women from good families were not allowed to be abducted or sold to brothels, nor were their lives mutilated.

The important person in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion must be a woman who has committed a crime or a family member who has been accused of a low status, or a person who has confessed to the crime of obscenity with solid evidence.

Every month, local garrison officials would send people to the brothel to check the status and resume of the women. Women who did not pass the official derogation documents were not allowed to receive guests, and those who violated the rules were severely punished.

Then an imperial edict was issued in the court that all boys and girls must enter school at the age of eight. If they leave school before the age of 15, their family members will have to confiscate their money.Those who go to school after the age of 15, regardless of gender, have to pay a certain fee.

These decisions are what Yao Xing has been doing. Although there is no mandatory requirement, all the ministers have accepted this matter and it has not caused any fluctuations.

The news that really caused a stir in the court was the imperial examination.The courtiers are already successful and high-ranking officials. As long as they let their children study and recommend each other, they can then let their children join the court as officials. With the protection of their family, their official career will be smooth.

But Zhao Zheng suddenly issued an order to open the imperial examination, which meant that children from ordinary people's families could also enter the court and compete for power with the children of princes and nobles.

There are so many ordinary people in the world that even if they pick one out of ten thousand, they will take away most of the cake in the court. This is undoubtedly bad news for them.

A large number of people in the court fell to their knees in an instant, and various reasons were given, almost saying that the opening of the imperial examination was the beginning of the country's downfall.

But who is Zhao Zheng? No one can change the decision he made. He immediately pointed out the unscrupulous descendants of several ministers and asked them if they recommended such people to serve as officials in the dynasty. Do they intend to harm the Qin Dynasty? What?
It's not like they were the only ones who could slap the blame. What Zhao Zheng said was more powerful than the entire court. If they had such a reputation, they would be guilty of confiscating their homes and destroying their families. How could they dare to refute Zhao Zheng's words.

I don’t know why those courtiers were so confused that they even asked Yao Xing to advise Zhao Zheng, not to let Zhao Zheng be slandered by a sycophant and miss the important national affairs.

Yao Xing looked embarrassed and wanted to tell the gushing old man in front of him: I am the one who made the slanderous remarks.

I don't have the nerve to scold him. After all, he is so old. Maybe he will leave the court when Zhao Zheng mentions retirement again in a few days.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked: "Why do you think the younger generation who have been taught by famous teachers since childhood can't compare with those ordinary students?"

The old man suddenly looked ugly. You must have confidence in this kind of thing, but who is willing to put in all the efforts and efforts for something that should be taken for granted. Once defeated, his face will be disgraced and ridiculed. .

They returned from Yaoxing without success, and I don't know what they thought of.

In short, the debate lasted for half a month, and finally the conclusion was reached.From now on, there are only two ways for anyone to enter the court: imperial examination or joining the army.

Even if he is recommended by courtiers, he can only ignore his previous achievements and take the final exam with his students.The students who were recommended for reference also had to answer questions from the emperor, and only after passing the test could they be ranked and enter the court.
