Upon hearing this, the other officials in the hall echoed his sentiments. After all, the benefits of the imperial examinations lay not only in selecting officials, but also in demonstrating the court's benevolence and increasing the people's loyalty to the Qin Dynasty.

At the same time, once literacy becomes widespread, the foundation of rule will be more solid—something everyone can understand.

However, this new model of "not judging by background but only by talent" will inevitably impact the interests of many people, but with the villain's momentum so strong right now, who would dare to obstruct it?

As for popularizing education, although this path is not easy, if we can truly rely on the "papermaking" and "movable type printing" proposed by the wicked man to greatly reduce the cost for people to acquire knowledge and promote a culture of reading throughout the country, it will surely be a great achievement in the long run.

Seeing that the ministers had all compromised, the wicked man's expression softened slightly, but he still did not relax. He waved his hand and said, "This matter is settled. We will refine the regulations later and announce them to the world at a later date so that the people may know about our dynasty's new policies."

His gaze swept across the hall, and seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the senior officials, he added, "And that performance evaluation system—don't think you can fool it either. Everyone in the court is under my supervision; I'm not just watching the local areas. If any of you commit any crimes, you probably don't want to end up at the bottom."

After all, everyone knows that since the wicked man dared to make such a boastful statement, he would never let it become an empty promise. If anyone dares to cheat or embezzle money in secret, the wicked man's butcher's knife will probably come knocking on their door immediately.

Before long, the discussions in the court gradually subsided.

Ying Zheng finally spoke, "In that case, court is adjourned!"
