When Chu Anping of the Royal Government Affairs Office received this news, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the emperor's foresight, even capturing the hearts of the prisoners. After all, in this world, what parent wouldn't want their child to have a good future, to grow up in a peaceful environment, receive a good education, and have a bright future?

Chu Anping immediately invited the six ministers to the Royal Government Affairs Office. They gathered together to discuss how to deal with this matter to ensure that His Majesty's plan could proceed smoothly.

After everyone arrived at Qi Chu Anping and spoke frankly and elaborated on the demands of the prisoners of war, he hoped that the six ministers could put forward some practical suggestions.

Minister of War Mu Yundian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is truly a brilliant move. I was still thinking about how to recruit these Xiongnu people to become soldiers for our Wei State, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty's tactic of winning over the hearts and minds of these Xiongnu people and the people of Gan State would willingly submit."

Chu Anping and others looked at Mu Yundian. After all, they were not generals who had fought in battles, and they didn't know why Mu Yundian was so happy. They were all waiting for Mu Yundian's explanation, hoping that he could explain in detail why His Majesty's strategy was so effective.

Mu Yundian continued, "The reason why we, the Wei State, were unable to defeat the Xiongnu was largely because we didn't know where the Xiongnu gathered. Even if these prisoners of war could work in exchange for enough food in the Wei State, they would never help the Wei State attack their own people.

After all, even if they could eat enough in Wei, they were still prisoners of war, with no freedom and forced to perform heavy labor. Now, under Your Majesty's education reforms, they see hope. Even if they don't consider themselves, they will choose to completely submit to Wei for the sake of their children's future. In this way, we can not only obtain more troops, but also gain a deeper understanding of the internal situation of the Xiongnu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After all, we couldn't find the Xiongnu tribes, but to these Xiongnu prisoners, the locations of those tribes were like relatives' homes, as familiar as their own backyards. For the sake of their children's futures, they were willing to reveal everything. This way, we could not only track the Xiongnu's movements, but also use their influence to gradually weaken their will to resist, so that we could capture Xiongnu territory without too many casualties.

When Mu Yundian's insightful analysis rang in everyone's ears, Chu Anping couldn't help but nod in praise. He said with emotion:

"This is a brilliant plan. We truly didn't fully grasp your Majesty's profound intentions. In this world, besides warriors, scholars are also highly respected. Once the prisoners learn that their children will have the opportunity to become students and receive an education, and potentially pass the imperial examinations to achieve fame and honor, they will naturally willingly serve the State of Wei."

After reaching this consensus, Chu Anping and the six ministers immediately began to formulate a specific implementation plan. After all, the people of Wei also needed more educational resources, and it was impossible to allocate a large amount of educational resources to prisoners of war.

However, it is also necessary to provide these prisoners of war with a reasonable arrangement so that they can see the dawn of hope without causing dissatisfaction among their own people.

At this time, the Minister of War, Mu Yundian, continued to raise questions: "Do you think that His Majesty's requirement that all prefectures and counties select students according to a unified standard is a bit too idealistic? After all, the people in many prefectures and counties do not have the talent for learning. If we select according to a unified standard, then many prefectures and counties may not have many students who can enter university."

Minister of Personnel Quan Zhengcheng then expressed his opinion: "If the number of students admitted to universities in a prefecture or county decreases, then the number of officials from that prefecture or county who can serve in the imperial court will also decrease. This may adversely affect the governance and development of the prefecture or county, because most officials who enter the imperial court will tend to protect the interests of their hometowns. This may further widen the gap between prefectures and counties, thus affecting the internal stability of Wei."

Chu Anping said with a hint of joking in his tone, "You didn't raise such a question to His Majesty at the court meeting, but now you are here to challenge an old man like me. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Chu Yundian and Quan Zhengcheng smiled awkwardly after hearing this. They didn't explain why they didn't ask the emperor the question at court. They couldn't tell Chu Anping that they thought of this question because they heard that the Xiongnu prisoners of war hoped that their descendants could receive an education, which triggered this thought, right?

At this moment, the Minister of Revenue suddenly said, "Perhaps, I know some of the reasons."

Everyone's eyes turned to Qian Dai, the Minister of Revenue. They were confused and didn't understand how Qian Dai, an official in charge of finance, could understand this issue related to educational selection.

Qian Dai was the first to ask Mu Yundian, "Minister Mu, I want to ask you a question. If we occupy the Xiongnu's land and the Xiongnu follow your majesty's rules, how many of their children will be able to enter university?"

Mu Yundian's face changed drastically at this time, because there were very few educated Huns. If they were selected according to the same standards, it would be almost impossible for many of their children to be admitted to university. In this way, the stability and development of the Hun region would face huge challenges, and might even trigger new dissatisfaction and turmoil.

Mu Yundian said, "The situation may be very pessimistic." Mu Yundian tactfully expressed his judgment.

However, at this time, Qian Dai said, "Minister Mu, your judgment is wrong. In fact, it may be completely the opposite."

Qian Dai's words aroused the interest of Chu Anping and others. After all, why did Qian Dai think that the situation would turn around when they all thought it was pessimistic?

Mu Yundian said modestly, "I'd like to hear more about it."

Qian Dai smiled and said, "If we follow the old imperial examination system of Shengwu Continent, then the children of the Xiongnu might really have difficulty standing out. But the new system implemented by Your Majesty emphasizes practical application and talent, rather than mere knowledge. The Xiongnu are good at riding, archery, and tactics, which are what the students of Wei lack."

This might have given Xiongnu children an advantage in certain subjects, potentially increasing their chances of admission. Similarly, many county students might not be good at Confucianism, but they might have unique talents and rich experience in agriculture, blacksmithing, hunting, and other areas.

Your Majesty's new system examines students' comprehensive abilities rather than just their individual knowledge. This way, students from every region, as long as they can demonstrate their unique strengths, will be able to stand out in the selection process and be admitted to university."

After hearing Qian Dai's answer, Chu Anping was inspired and figured out many things.
