Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Seeing this situation, Li Jiyang made a fuss about the imperial examination, and provided hundreds of possible examination questions for the imperial examination!

"Is this okay?" Ying Zheng was very puzzled by this: "I've told them all, why are you still taking the exam?"

"It's different!" Li Jiyang said: "Look, if you want to be the chief of the pavilion, you need to understand the local people's livelihood; Can't even beat a bandit? That would be too embarrassing for Daqin's yamen!"

Ying Zheng listened with black lines on his face. If under his rule, the gangsters would not be able to defeat even small thieves. It would not only be shameful for the gangsters, but also him, the emperor, okay?

"So!" Li Jiyang spread his hands: "If you want to buy textbooks, you need to know how to cooperate to catch thieves. This is a profession. And tax officials, if you can't let go, you will know how to scrape the ground and embezzle the people's fat and people's cream. You must have professionalism, you must know What kind of tax is charged for what kind of things, you can’t let cattle raisers pay the same taxes as duck raisers?” “The same is true for all kinds of small officials. The imperial court writes arrival reports, military reports, and urgent mail. Those who are knife and pen officials need to know how to write notices and documents! Those who manage documents also need to know how to classify and summarize. These all need someone to point them out. They don’t know anyone, so they just You can buy reference books, and there are model essay templates in it." Li Jiyang plausibly said: "There are also many professionals, such as the Ministry of Accounts, who must be able to make calculations and do accounts; You have to check the account!"

Li Jiyang kept talking in a small mouth, Ying Zheng was finally persuaded by him!

So in addition to the Daqin Dictionary, there are also various reference books!

Reference to what?

Everyone doesn't know, but some people still bought a lot and went back to study.

Then Yingzheng announced the criteria for selecting officials at the Great Court Meeting, the imperial examination!

Li Jiyang formulated a series of rules and regulations for the imperial examination, as well as various rewards and punishments. Such an eclectic employment system also made the big families feel nervous.

The old and the young from all over the world really speculated about this, and then they all became honest!

Except for a few stubborn people, most of them will take the initiative to talk about the benefits of Qin, and the key is to let the children work hard and win the favor of the lord.

Money touches people's hearts, indeed money touches people's hearts!

Using this hand is equivalent to hanging a radish tassel in front of the stubborn donkey, making it have to follow!

Different from the ancient imperial examinations, Li Jiyang's "imperial examination" is more like a civil servant examination!

Divided into several types, if you want to learn literature, you have to memorize the laws of Qin, and you must also know the people's livelihood!

If you want to practice martial arts and want to join the army, you must also know the three secrets and six strategies, Sun Tzu's art of war, this is taught by a gentleman in the military academy!

And when the exam is required, the new font will be used as the standard font for answering the questions - Li Si loses completely.

Except for the set of characters from various eras that he sorted out, there is nothing left! The Confucian "Analects" has not been finalized after several years of research, so the big stone tablet of Confucius only has the name of Confucius, but no works!

On the contrary, behind him, Mencius, Xunzi and other thirteen Confucianists all had their place.

And the stone monument erected really made all the scholars of Daqin return to their hearts.

Especially when the news of the imperial examination came out, everyone was even more excited, and the spirit of learning was even stronger than before.

Even the number of people applying for the military academy has more than doubled!

At the same time, Yingzheng rewarded the heir of the noble family as the "son of the world"!

The term "Shizi" first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

Originally refers to the crown prince among the sons of the emperor or princes.

After the change of dynasties, the term "prince son" became the title of the heir in the family of those who have inherited titles.

These "princes" basically have a relationship with Fusu...very close!

Some people were puzzled, some were terrified, and some even came directly to Li Jiyang to find out: "What is the reason? Do you have to be canonized as the heir?"

It is true that every family has an eldest son, but the wife and son are not necessarily favored!

Although there is a rule of eldest son inheritance in the new Qin law, everyone still wants to make a future for their favorite son!

This seals the world!

Li Jiyang smiled and said to the people: "Isn't it because the emperor's younger brother is going to get married? The people who will follow the emperor's younger brother will be the 'children'!"

Hearing Qin Anjun's explanation, everyone was taken aback!

They thought of many reasons, such as the difference between the sons and daughters, orderly inheritance and so on.

Who knew it would be for this reason!

"Now it's the Double Ninth Festival in September, and it's going to be October soon." Li Jiyang spread his hands: "The emperor's younger brother's wedding date is set on October [-]th."

Everyone: "...!!!"

The emperor's younger brother got married, and as early as after the autumn harvest, the county guards from all over the country had already entered Xianyang City with the convoy of taxes, food and money from various places.

They all lived in the Xianyang main station specially prepared by the imperial court for officials who came to Beijing.

It is equivalent to a hotel specially used by officials, and Li Jiyang has arranged the interior very well.

Of course, there are also people whose homes are in Xianyang City, and there are quite a few who go home and live there.

One of the people came to pay taxes and tax money, and the other was to attend the wedding of the emperor's younger brother.

Zhao Ji had already led people to clean the entire East Palace three times. Fusu, who was cleaning, was getting impatient, so she had to hide here with Li Jiyang.

"Brother Yang, my place is so clean that even Shuoshu has to go out with tears in his eyes! Why do you think my mother despises uncleanness?" Fu Su lay there and pretended to be dead, "Mother is happy. "Li Jiyang knew that Zhao Ji lost hope of having a grandson because of her relationship with Ying Zheng, so Fusu became her hope of having a grandson.

Now that Fusu is finally 20 years old and ready to get married, Zhao Ji is more anxious than anyone else!

The empress dowagers of the two palaces have prepared all kinds of festive items, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has dispatched [-] bolts of red silk out of the warehouse.

All the servants and maids in the palace were also beaming.

"I'll stay here for two days!" Fu Sulai didn't leave here: "I want to eat meat! Brother Yang take pity on me, please get some meat to eat!"

Li Jiyang looked at him: "OK!"

Turning around, he told Zhao Xi: "Have someone stew a pot of geese and put some sauerkraut in it."

"Sauerkraut with wild goose meat?" Fusu has never eaten like this before. He has eaten pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, but he has never eaten goose meat stewed with sauerkraut. Can this be eaten?

"Don't worry, it's delicious!" Li Jiyang recalled: "The taste is very special! Especially after the autumn harvest, the wild geese are fertilized, and the stewed sauerkraut is even more delicious."

This is the stew they ate locally when they went to the Northeast to excavate an ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty. Fermented, the taste is very good, the slaughtered big fat goose, chopped and stewed with sauerkraut, served with steamed flower rolls, that taste!

Back then, even the mentor ate half an extra flower roll!

A senior brother specially paid for the villagers to cook two more meals, which is a pity that the mentor can eat two more bites. Later, after they went back, although they also bought big goose and sauerkraut to stew, they didn’t have the same flavor...

When Yingzheng came back in the evening, he saw a new dish on the table, stewed wild goose with sauerkraut.

"Come and try this new dish. When Fusu gets married, it will be considered a dish."

Li Jiyang pointed to a large bowl of vegetables: "Although it is a domestic goose, it is better than wild geese."

"Okay!" Ying Zheng looked at the big bowl of dishes: "If it tastes good, put it on the wedding banquet!"

"Guaranteed to be delicious!" Li Jiyang smiled.

The empress dowager and empress dowager of the two palaces arrived, and then began to eat.

When everyone eats it, it really tastes good!

"This is good!" Empress Dowager Xia Ji loved to eat it: "It's also good in a wedding banquet!"

"There is already a braised goose in the wedding banquet, do you still want to serve this?" The Empress Dowager Huayang is someone who has seen the menu.

"That's a wild goose, and this is a domestic goose." Li Jiyang knew that they were preparing wild geese, and it happened to be the time when the wild geese were flying south, and many people caught the wild geese and raised them.

"It's not a conflict." Empress Dowager Zhao Ji thought it was okay: "It just so happens that the geese's dishes are also in even numbers."

"Okay, then add this dish!" Ying Zheng finally made a decision.

The days passed slowly, and when October [-]th came, the atmosphere in the palace became tense. On this day, the Wang family sent a dowry over.

All the betrothal gifts sent by the royal family became the dowry, and there was also the dowry that the Wang family was going to give to Wan'er.

Although not much, it is already half of the Wang family's property, and it is also very spectacular.

There is also a list of fifty servants who were married to the royal family.

There are no men, because in addition to the emperor, there are eunuchs in the palace, or Qin Anjun.

Among the fifty servants, there are twenty servant girls who grew up with Wan'er, and twenty martial wives, all of whom are strong women who have lost their husbands and know some martial arts.

Ten older nuns.

He will accompany Wan'er into the palace tomorrow.

That night, Li Jiyang sent Ying Zheng to the East Palace: "Go and accompany Fu Su, he is getting married tomorrow."

"What am I doing with him?" Ying Zheng didn't want to go.

"That's your brother!" Li Jiyang pushed him out of the car: "Go!"

Ying Zheng had no choice but to get out of the car, and the people from the East Palace had already knelt down to greet him.

On the other hand, Li Jiyang went to see the Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji was touching the phoenix robe she was going to wear tomorrow, when she heard Li Jiyang coming, she smiled and asked someone to announce him in.

"Godmother, why don't you go to bed so late?" Li Jiyang came in and saw the ceremony, and saw the brightly embroidered gowns there.

"I can't sleep, I'm so happy that I can't sleep." Zhao Ji touched the dress: "I rarely wear this kind of dress, and once I wear it, I feel like I'm not me anymore. I always don't like wearing it."

"Tomorrow you are the empress dowager, the mother of the emperor's younger brother, how can you not wear a dress?" Li Jiyang knew that Zhao Ji was telling the truth, because Zhao Ji seldom showed her face in front of people because of what happened back then.

Even if she came forward, she would follow behind the empress dowagers of the two palaces. With the empress dowagers of the two palaces around, no one would notice her.

Zhao Ji has been wronged all these years, so Li Jiyang got a queen mother weaving cart out, so that Zhao Ji's reputation will be known all over the world.

I hope that when people mention Zhao Ji in the future, they will think of the empress dowager's spinning car, not the scandalous rumors with Lu Buwei.

The effect is good, who still remembers Lu Buwei now?

"That's right, Fusu is going to get married tomorrow!" Zhao Ji smiled: "When his father passed away, he was a posthumous child. If you weren't here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep him."

Even if you keep the big one, the small one is dangerous, and if you keep the small one, the big one is even more dangerous.

A 14-year-old lord who is about to mature, or a lord who is still in his infancy, which one is suitable for Lu Buwei to control?No one needs to say it!

"Even if I'm not here, Azheng will let the godmother and Fusu be safe." Li Jiyang looked at Zhao Ji's queen mother's phoenix crown: "Not bad, you used all the golden pearls?"

"Use it, you child, you don't know that you have got so many good things and don't keep them, they are all piled up on our heads." Mentioning the golden pearl, Zhao Ji laughed.

Li Jiyang sent a lot of golden pearls in, so that the empress dowagers and empress dowagers of the two palaces were all inlaid on the phoenix crown. After it was done, it was so golden!

Because after Yingzheng ascended the throne, various regulations were stipulated. On the phoenix crown, there are 120 pearls for the empress dowager, 95 for the empress dowager, [-] for the empress, and [-] for the crown princess.

There are clear regulations, and Li Jiyang is not good at disobeying them, but he played a trick on the pearls, all inlaid with golden pearls!

It looks so festive!

After chatting with Zhao Ji for a while, Li Jiyang resigned, and then someone brought hot milk for Zhao Ji to drink and rest.
