Xianqin Multiverse Empire

"Although it's just a magistrate rather than an official, it's still very important." Ying Zheng said.

He is familiar with history books, of course he understands that this seemingly insignificant official is the foundation of the empire.If they die, the empire will no longer be able to go deep into the village to control the place.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, thanks to the reform of the official system, the standards for promotion, demotion, tenure of officials, retirement system for officials and other issues have been clearly explained."

"Even the lowest-ranking officials, as long as they are capable, as long as they have the ability, they can be promoted according to the speed of junior officials, order officials, ninth-rank officials, and eighth-rank officials."

"Even in theory, even a small official, as long as he does a good job, one day he is expected to be the prime minister. Therefore, the tourists from the Six Kingdoms are very excited. Many scholars have decided to directly participate in the examination. Most of them have some points. Powerful." Wei Liaozi said excitedly, stroking his beard.

As the prime minister, the great steward of the empire, the stronger the executive ability of the team under him, the happier he is, especially in this era of great change.

In fact, this move was also supported by the legalist bureaucrats in Daqin, especially those ordinary officials without background, who were even more ecstatic.

"The second round of assessment is more difficult. Only those who know Qin Law and master it proficiently can pass. After passing the training, they can directly become officials."

"As for the third round, it's the interview. Only a very small number of extremely outstanding geniuses are eligible to participate in the interview. These geniuses will go directly to Xianyang, and the king, my prime minister, the doctor Yushi and others will jointly interview."

"Genius?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes, the first two rounds of the exam are for ordinary people, and the third round of interviews is for a very small number of geniuses."

"In many cases, a genius can outperform a thousand or even 1 ordinary people. Moreover, it is more conducive to the prime minister's government to govern the Great Qin by dividing the officials at the bottom into the genius faction and the mediocre faction..."

After talking about the exam, Wei Liaozi left.But before leaving, he took a curious look at the chubby landlord standing behind Ying Zheng.

Fat people these days are a sign of handsomeness, a sign of beauty.

Because only rich people can eat fat

Whoever is fat is right!

And this guy in front of him is a bit rich, much fatter than Ying Zheng, and from the style of his clothes, he doesn't look like a Xianyang native, but more like a tourist from the Six Kingdoms.

Moreover, the scholars who did not come from the capitals of the six countries are a bit like the turtles who came from the countryside or the county town. Could it be that some great sage came from him?

I don't know who this fat man is, and he was able to be brought by the king to personally guide him.The last person who received this treatment was called Li Si, and now he is the fourth-rank Shaofu Ling.

Sensing Wei Liaozi's curious gaze, the landowner smiled slightly at him.But in his heart, he was up and down, a little worried and a little puzzled.

You said that I was originally a local turtle, why did I come to Xianyang, and I also got the favor of the king, what is it about me, the king, and I can't change it?

The fat landlord has a nice name called Xiao He. He was originally a local tyrant in Pei County, and he is a real local tyrant.

From the small pavilion chief to the second-in-command magistrate in the county, there are people from his family everywhere in Pei County.

Starting from his great-grandfather, he was the magistrate of the county, his grandfather was the magistrate of the county, his father was the magistrate of the county, and if there were no accidents in the future, he would also be the magistrate of the county.

So Xiao He, who was reading a book at that time, refused without hesitation after receiving the invitation from relevant officials of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Guo wants to make himself an official, but it is unnecessary for a small official, it is better to be comfortable in Pei County.In Peixian County, everyone from top to bottom is from the Xiao family, even if the county magistrate does not have the cooperation of the Xiao family, he cannot continue to be a magistrate!

As for middle-level officials, it is unlikely.Besides, people are far from home.Without the support of the power of the family, it is not easy to be an official.

His ancestor Xiao He was not a famous nobleman, even if he became a county magistrate, local tyrants would definitely not buy him.

As for high-level officials, such as the prefect, it is simply impossible!The ancestor of the Xiao family was neither a prince nor a great talent, so how could anyone invite him to be a high-ranking official?

So the first time Xiao He received an invitation from a Qin official, he refused without even thinking about it.But who would have thought that that night, he ran into a celestial killer in front of his bed.

It was a dark and windy night, after Xiao He entered the house, he lit a candle bought from the state of Qin, and when he turned around, he saw a guy with his face covered and a sword on his back.

Although this guy is masked, the scars on his face and the strength on his body all show that he is not simple.

"I'm Luo Wang's sky-level assassin, and I'm here to invite you to become an official in Daqin, at least a seventh-rank official."

"Seventh-rank official? If I remember correctly, among the reform decrees promulgated by King Qin, the magistrates of small counties are only seventh-rank, right?"

"You are the talent that His Majesty called for. Although I don't know what is so special about you that His Majesty can take a fancy to you. Let Luo Wang send out a sky-level killer and invite him personally, but His Majesty's order is just like that."

"When you arrive in Daqin, you will be favored by the king. Is it difficult for a seventh-rank official?" As the talent Yingzheng called for, the Tianzi-level killer also patiently explained.

For the local tyrants in this era, the county magistrate is a hurdle that can never be overcome, if there is no noble person to help.

But how can I, Xiao He He De, directly let the King of Qin personally order the Luo Wangtian killer to be dispatched directly?

Xiao He held back this question in his heart and didn't ask it. Facing the personal invitation of Luo Wangtian-level killer, what could he do?Of course I agree!

On the second day he fell ill, very seriously ill, and died on the third day, and on the fourth day, he watched himself being buried.

Then he got into the carriage and set off quietly.After that, he came to Xianyang and met the current Yingzheng.

After the meeting, Ying Zheng did not immediately arrange an official position for him, but asked him to follow him all day as a servant, and today is the seventh day.

Chapter 2: Sima Qian said that you have the talent of a prime minister

After Wei Liaozi left, Ying Zheng suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao He who had obviously lost a lot of weight.

"I heard that you have the talent of the prime minister, so I invited you here."

"Your Majesty misunderstood me. I, Xiao He, are just ordinary people in Pei County. My biggest ambition is to become the county magistrate of Pei County one day and revitalize my family. How can I be judged like this? Who is framing me? "Xiao He said angrily.

He didn't even know when he became a prime minister, but Ying Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, found out. Isn't this a scam?Don't let me know who hurt me!

Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded: "Well, it was Sima Qian who said it. He said that you have the talent of a prime minister. Among the prime ministers of all dynasties, you can be regarded as a first-rate existence, so I invited you here."

After thinking for a while, Xiao He still didn't know who this Sima Qian was and why he framed him like this.He can be quite sure that this is really the first time he has heard this name.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he had already recorded this account in his heart.If you have a chance, you must find this guy to calculate.

"Although Sima Qian's words are often accurate, you can't just rely on his one-sided words as to whether you are a prime minister or not, so there is only one task for you."

"Gu intends to set up a new conquest department, the location is in Shanglin Garden, the degree of secrecy is extremely high, and you are directly responsible to Gu. You are the first director. The rank is tentatively set at the sixth rank, and the possibility of future promotion is very high. "

"Your task is very simple, but also very arduous. You are mainly responsible for logistics. Although your job seems inconspicuous now, if you do it well, it is not impossible to become the prime minister of the Japanese Empire."

Hearing this, Xiao He not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.

If you do well, you will be qualified to be the prime minister. What a serious and important task it must be.Even if there is a slight mistake, it is a big deal, and I am afraid that I will only end up losing my head.

"Your first task: first find some skilled tailors to make these clothes, and then learn this way of life, and engrave these living habits in your bones."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng took out a picture album, the style of clothes on it was completely different from today's, and this style of clothes could not be found in the Seven Kingdoms.

"Your second task is to learn this kind of script. I call it regular script. If you have enough time, you can also think about how to let more people learn this kind of script at a faster speed. .”

"The third task, the current Conquest Division is still empty, only you as the director, so you need to recruit the first batch of members of the Conquest Division, my request is as follows..."

……

After half a month.

"My lord, the interview will start in a quarter of an hour." Xiao He said.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was sitting at the head, with a lot of materials in front of him.And Xiao He was sitting on the left hand side of Ying Zheng, and there was also a table in front of him, on which there were pencils and white paper that had been prepared long ago.

"Huh? About to start? So soon?"

After speaking, Ying Zheng put down the book in his hand, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and continued, "You can briefly talk about the general situation of this interview first."

"This time the Expedition Division did not adopt the method of automatic registration, but the internal information collected by the Shaofu, checked one by one, and then sent an invitation letter."

"All those who received the invitation were from the Qin Dynasty for three generations, and their grandmothers and mothers were also born in the Qin Dynasty. In addition, those who have committed serious crimes within the three generations are not included in the invitation, and those who are the only child in the family are also not included in the invitation."

This is the political review, which is cumbersome but necessary.As the first batch of heroes in Daqin's cross-border conquest, secrecy and loyalty are the most important.As for ability, at least at the moment it is not as important as the first two.

"Ah."

"Considering the time factor, this time only the people near Xianyang sent invitations. Some of them are two or five hundred masters of the military, some are local officials, and some are eighth-rank township chiefs. They have a wide range of sources and almost all walks of life. There are jobs."

"More than 200% of the people came here after receiving the invitation letter. There are more than 800 of them in total. Among them, there are more than 400 men and more than [-] women. The ratio of men to women is close to two to one."

"Now, after the first round of written examinations, there are still more than 400 people left. Today is the interview, which will be decided by His Majesty himself." Xiao He said earnestly.

Although he didn't know exactly what the importance of the Conquest Department was, it was worth interviewing by Ying Zheng himself. How much time does it take to interview more than 400 people one by one?

Although he didn't understand Ying Zheng's motivation for doing this, it didn't stop him from working harder.The more Ying Zheng attaches importance to it, the more important his work is, isn't it?

Could it be that the old Xiao family is really going to produce a big shot?

When I go back, I will ask someone to check, is there smoke from my ancestral grave?We must build a good grave for our ancestors.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the interview officially began.The first person to come in was an eight-foot tall man with a square face.

The big man was wearing Qin-style armor and a helmet. When he walked, he looked straight and didn't look left or right. He stood in the middle of the tent and gave a military salute to Ying Zheng who had just appeared.

"Great Qin's fifth-level doctor, Xianyang material officer Chen Xi pays his respects to the king."

Five, doctor, is different from the fifth doctor. The former is the fifth-ranked doctor among the twentieth ranks, and the latter is the ninth-ranked fifth-ranked doctor.

Generally speaking, if the title is higher than the five senior officials, then he can become a mid-level general in the army, which is completely different from the previous low-level officers and even ordinary soldiers.

"Ah."

Ying Zheng nodded, while Xiao He picked up a pen and paper, and began to ask: "Hi doctor, although the conquest division is well paid, it's not easy to get ahead."

"Once you are selected, you will not be allowed to have any contact with your family members for 20 years, and you will not have the opportunity to meet during the holidays. And the danger is extremely high, and there is a high possibility that you will not be able to come back. Are you clear about this?"

"It's clear." Chen Xi said loudly.

"My great-grandfather has been a soldier since my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather has worked hard all his life. Starting from an ordinary soldier, he has participated in more than 30 battles, beheaded hundreds of people, and won the seventh-level title of duke."

"My grandfather also joined the army when he was 16 years old. He fought all his life and won the ninth-level five-doctor title. But when it came to my father, he was defeated and died, and even the title was dropped to the doctor."

"Today, it's my turn. I'm a military officer, good at training soldiers. For the empire, I can dedicate everything."

The term empire just appeared a month ago.It first appeared in Daqin Xunbao, and the word has become popular since then.Especially young soldiers, especially like this word.

Chapter 3: Send a wife?

"Second question, how is your strength?"

"I am practicing the Iron Cloth Shirt, one of the two great arts taught by the King in the army. Now I have cultivated to the fourth level. According to the cultivation system announced in the Daqin Xunbao, I am considered consummation the day after tomorrow."

Iron cloth shirt and golden bell cover, these are the two martial arts that Ying Zheng actively taught in the army.Each door has as many as nine layers, and it was compiled by Ying Zheng with the essence of martial arts from other worlds.

There is no way to do this. Who makes these two exercises appear the most frequently? Almost every world has these two exercises.Moreover, there are many differences between these two exercises in almost every world.

After collecting them, comparing their similarities and differences, and tidying them up a bit is a good martial arts technique.

The first four levels correspond to the day after tomorrow, the middle four levels correspond to the innate, and once the ninth level is mastered, one can directly become a master.However, so far, Ying Zheng has only compiled to the eighth floor.As for the ninth floor, ahem, it's just an idea.

Although these two martial arts are simple to learn, not everyone can practice them.Ordinary soldiers who eat at least two meals a day cannot practice.

But for those low-level military officers who have titles and can afford to eat meat, it is an incomparably precious treasure. Two copies of exercises have bought the hearts of low-level military officers.

Just look at the way Chen Xi looked at Ying Zheng at this moment, full of admiration.Even if Ying Zheng told him to die immediately, he would not hesitate at all.

These loyal and hard-working old Qin people, this kind of gold-like heart, is the most precious wealth of Daqin.

Xiao He on the side silently recorded Chen Xi's answer, then glanced at Ying Zheng, and asked the third question: "Do you have any wishes? Or, do you have anything you want to do? "

"Want to get copper coins, gold, or a certain exercise, or get promoted and get rich? Or a certain policy about Daqin, which you think is inappropriate and needs to be revised, you can talk about it now."

"Your Majesty is here, don't worry. There are only the three of us here, and no one else will know about it, let alone laugh at it."

Chen Xi looked at Ying Zheng and nodded towards him encouragingly, and after thinking about it, he said, "I want a beautiful wife with a plump body and a big butt to give birth to! It would be even better if she could dance. gone."

Xiao He was like a tool man, his expression didn't change at all, he carefully recorded Chen Xi's dream stroke by stroke.

"Your dream is already known, and the empire will consider it. If you make contributions in the future, it is not impossible to send you a beautiful wife directly."

"My lord, have I passed?" After asking, Chen Xi, who had not been very nervous, suddenly became nervous.

Although Xiao He, the director, had spoken the most since entering the tent, Chen Xi knew that it was Ying Zheng who finally decided the matter.

"can."

"Congratulations, doctor. From today onwards, you will become a member of the Conquest Division. After being selected, you will be promoted to a higher level, and various benefits will also be improved..."

……

Every time a person came in, Xiao He was in charge of asking questions and finding out the truth, while Ying Zheng was in charge of making decisions.Solve one by one, interview one by one.Everyone must be personally approved by Ying Zheng before they can join the Conquest Division.

The so-called conquest department is actually an organization that is responsible for conquest of the heavens.It's just that Daqin has not yet unified the world at this moment, so this department is shady.

Even Xiao He, the head of the department, didn't know the truth about the conquest department.He is also more like a big butler in essence, a big butler who is responsible for logistics.

Those who can know the truth, except Yingzheng himself, should have gone to another world or met the King of Hades.

At this moment, Xiao He had paper and pens on one side, and thick conversation records around him. Looking at the nine-foot-tall man in front of him, Xiao He asked again: "What's your name?"

"My surname is Wang. I didn't have a name before. I was ranked third in my family, so people called me Wang San. After I joined the army, I asked a literate superior to give me a name. It's called Wang Yan. I'm a small person, I don't have a family name, my lord Just call me by my name."

Hearing this name, Ying Zheng remembered a document.It was given to him by Xiao He before the interview. It only had the names of more than 20 people on it, and there was an explanation behind each name.
