Compared with cultivating strong soldiers, it is more important now how to stabilize the people's hearts and develop all aspects of the country.

To put it simply, before the emphasis was on martial arts, but now it is governance that needs to be put first.

The imperial examination proposed by Ye Chen is entirely an unprecedented system for selecting officials.

It is conceivable that once this system is implemented, how many talents will emerge.

However, such an approach is tantamount to cutting off the nobles' monopoly on this aspect. It is conceivable that once those people know about this, they will definitely blow their hair.

But from another point of view, it is a good thing for him, the emperor, to be able to promote more people from poor families.

After all, those common people have no foundation, even if they are in a high position, they cannot threaten the ruler, which is more convenient for management.

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng has decided to implement the imperial examination system, but there are still some things that need to be clarified.

Immediately, he looked at Ye Chen and asked: "I already know something about the imperial examination, but how does this matter relate to the question I mentioned earlier?"

Ye Chen said: "The imperial examination system has three main functions."

"One is to recruit more talents from all walks of life in the world and let them serve the empire.

The second is to win over the hearts and minds of the people all over the world.

For thousands of years, those official positions have always been controlled by powerful people, and it is difficult for ordinary poor people to stand out even if they have real talents.

And the imperial examination undoubtedly gave everyone a chance to jump over the dragon's gate, so wouldn't everyone in the world be grateful?

As long as all the people in the world think that you are really a good emperor, they will naturally accept the edicts issued.

Moreover, His Majesty can also add words and laws to the imperial examination questions. If the common people want to gain fame through this way, they must accept new cultures and ideas.

In this way, won't your headaches be easily solved? "

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also nodded, agreeing in his heart, and then asked, "What about the third point?"

Ye Chen went up and took a few steps, and then said: "Everything has two sides, no matter what system it is, its essence is a kind of bondage.

For example, Shang Yang's reform, although it gave Daqin the invincible power, but it also neglected the people's livelihood because it put too much power on the army, which is a double-edged sword.

The imperial examinations seem to have given scholars a way out to prosperity, but in fact they are also tying many people to this system. "

Ying Zheng was also very interested in this statement, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by this statement?"

Ye Chen replied: "For example, there are a group of dogs beside us, although we are temporarily overwhelmed, they may still pounce on us at any time.

In order to prevent it from hurting us, the best thing to do is to throw a bone and let all the dogs fight for it.In this way, their aggressiveness will be diverted, and no further incidents will occur. "

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "The people are very simple, as long as there is a way out, they will not do anything out of the ordinary."

After the words fell, Ying Zheng also understood the meaning of the other party's words.

The significance of the imperial examination is not only to select talents, but also to point out a direction for the people of the world.

Let everyone work hard towards one place, and make it a lifelong pursuit.

When people have something to do, they will have pursuits and sustenance in their hearts, and they will naturally settle down.

Although there must be only a small number of people who can be selected in the end, it is that little hope that will attract countless people to rush upwards desperately. This is the human heart.

Why do people in the world rebel?

In essence, the interests of most people have been harmed.

However, the imperial examination system gave the common people the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Under such circumstances, anyone who wants to pass the imperial examination to become a master will definitely maintain this system, and while maintaining this system, he is actually protecting the upper-level leaders who implement this system.

In this way, the Great Qin Empire will naturally become more stable.

Looking at the former's reaction, Ye Chen knew that he would definitely agree to the proposal.

The imperial examination system is far from perfect. As he said before, this is actually a relatively benign constraint.

Even in essence, it is also a way to maintain the authority of the ruler.

And as a time traveler, he knew that once this system was implemented, how many people would devote themselves to it like moths to a flame.

In the end, the person who can really succeed by relying on this road is probably one in a thousand.Most people have the dream of being an official and lord, and then spend their whole lives on it.

But there is no way, the nature of today's society is like this.A country that has just stepped into feudalism cannot afford a more advanced system.

The foundation of the current Great Qin is not solid enough, what is needed is a sufficiently stable order.

From this aspect, the imperial examination system is undoubtedly very suitable, and it can even be regarded as advanced.

After all, no matter how many shortcomings it has, the imperial examination does provide more people with opportunities to show themselves.Let the common people have the possibility to become princes and generals, which in itself is a huge progress.

Moreover, the emergence of imperial examinations is of great help to the current problems facing Qin.

If Yingzheng wants to implement the word and the law, then he can make a fuss about the content of the imperial examination.

For example, it can be announced that anyone who wants to take part in the imperial examination must first be able to write beautiful Qin seal characters and be familiar with the laws of the Qin State, otherwise you will not even be able to pass the provincial examination.

Under such circumstances, those who want fame and wealth will immediately immerse themselves in the study of Qin Zhuan and laws.

The world is bustling with profit, and for most people, as long as they have enough interests, there is nothing they cannot do

Chapter 413 State Teacher Ye Chen

Although Ye Chen was born in Confucianism, he still quite agrees with the saying that chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, and Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law. For a country, the mouth of a Confucian student and the sword in the hand of a warrior are both unstable factor.

The reverse is also true. If those idle knights and scholars can settle down, the empire will naturally be much more stable.

The state of Qin has a strong military force, and the rangers can't afford much trouble. Now that there is an imperial examination system, scholars can stop thinking about making trouble.

Such a combination of rigidity and softness can make the country develop better.

As a time traveler, he clearly understands how difficult the grassroots people in this era are living.For most people, no matter how hard they try, they cannot succeed.

Although the Shiqing Shilu system has stabilized the social structure to a certain extent, it has completely sealed off the room for advancement of the lower classes.

Commoners can only be commoners forever, and nobles will always be nobles for generations.

This is so unfair.

Although he will not be naive enough to advocate equality for everyone, it is still possible to change this status quo to a certain extent.

Ye Chen never thinks that he is a kind person, but since he has a certain ability, why can't he do something meaningful?
