"Everyone, you can wait until the petitioning official enters the room and then ask for specific details."
"It also comes with a curriculum, which is mainly divided into literacy, arithmetic, etiquette, understanding of affairs, and special skills courses."
"For example, carpentry, textile technology, etc., as mentioned above, after completing all of these courses, outstanding talents will be given priority admission by the state, or recommended for work in various places."
When the people heard this, their eyes lit up.
Aunt Zhou asked curiously, "To learn a skill, you used to have to go to a master, give him gifts during festivals, and do his work for free for a few years. But now you can just go to this academy and learn it?"
Another woman quickly responded, "That's right! If my daughter goes to study here, won't she be able to send money home in the future?"
"I don't know which skill is more profitable, so I'll assign it to her."
Qin Yuanhao reformed the original education system. Children could go out to study at the age of thirteen or fourteen and choose to take the imperial examinations, or learn skills and go straight to work.
Moreover, due to venue and personnel issues, there is basically a three to four year age gap between children in a class.
The most important thing is to distinguish those who have received education from those who are young and have not received education.
This is also the best solution discussed by Qin Yuanhao and the people from the Hanlin Academy.
Seeing that the other people had no questions, the scholar continued, "The following is a sprint course for the imperial examination. There are no age restrictions, no gender restrictions, and no requirements for being a juren. Anyone with a special skill is welcome. There are examples below. For example, some time ago, the court recruited a group of pig-killing experts, and they are now non-staff employees."
"This intensive training class was directly established by the imperial court. It explains the content of the imperial examination. This year's examination period is short, so it's an intensive training. Next year's course will be arranged according to the three-year curriculum."
"Anyone who wants to take the imperial examination can take the exam. If you pass the Juren status, you can get extra points. Next year's imperial examination will be based on a 10-point system."
"However, there is not much explanation on this. Everything is still based on the announcement issued by the court."
"The last one is recruitment. If you can speak another language, you can sign up, and it won't affect your chances of passing the imperial examination."
The more Qin Zhenzhen listened, the more excited she became, and in the end she even cheered in her heart.
It's great that the Emperor has made this change. Only when men and women work together can work be less tiring. Women will be able to find their own paths, and men will gradually realize that women are not limited to maintaining the harem, but can also stand shoulder to shoulder in the court.
Qin Yuanhao knew very well what Qin Zhenzhen said. After all, he now felt that he and Chen Fei were fighting side by side.
Let’s work together for the future of Daqin.
Bai Juci read the weekly report at a glance, then turned back and read every piece of information again.
He felt indescribable in his heart, and he apologized for the comments he had made about His Majesty.
Now he only feels that His Majesty is a man of great wisdom, and only such a person can make him follow willingly.
He couldn't help but clap his hands as he watched, "Great, this policy is truly a brilliant one. By having the imperial court publish the exam content itself, we can eliminate the many examiners who charge false fees, and we can also eliminate those officials who sell answers."
"The two of you just missed a point. The sprint above also mentioned a little bit. All officials are welcome to attend the lecture."
The two scholars looked at each other. They were afraid that what they said would offend others. After all, the officials had already passed the exam, so there was not much point in participating in this sprint!
"Mr. Bai, we think this statement might be a typo. All officials have already passed the exam, so why do we need to do intensive study?"
Bai Juci thought for a moment and replied, "Is it possible that all officials will also take the imperial examination this time? The only difference is that the focus will not be on the results, but on whether they can hold their positions firmly."
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Mr. Bai to dare to say this. Isn't he afraid of offending those powerful officials?
Didn’t they say that Mr. Bai’s leg was broken by an official?
Then can Mr. Bai still take part in the imperial examination?
"Mr. Bai, are you also going to take the old age imperial examination? Your legs are so ugly."
Bai Juci smiled and nodded. "Yes, I will. Isn't it written here? Anyone with a disability that doesn't affect their daily work can participate. My legs may not be very good, but they can still be used."
The two scholars showed admiration on their faces. Mr. Bai was not only older, but also physically disabled. Yet, such a person could study hard and hope to obtain fame and honor.
What reason do they have not to study hard!
"To be honest, I'm going out to eat today because I'm a little worried about the rumors that the content of the imperial examination will be changed."
"Sir, there is a fragrance on your body, which seems a bit pungent, but not unpleasant." After the two finished their explanation, they relaxed even more and smelled the fragrance on Bai Juci's body.
"Hahaha, the buffet I went to up front only cost a penny, but the food was delicious. I'm usually quite self-disciplined, but today I ate a bit too much."
Seeing that the two were acting rashly, Bai Juci quickly reminded them, "Today's quota has been distributed. You don't need to read the newspaper tomorrow. Just go and line up early."
"I will go back to the house first."
After saying this, Bai Juci said goodbye to the two of them and went home.
In the end, it was still the two scholars who continued to answer questions from passers-by and, by the way, tried to understand the meaning of the weekly report.
This was the most powerful reform in the history of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Zhenzhen is becoming more and more satisfied with Bai Juci.
Qin Yuanhao also murmured to himself, "This Bai Juci is really good, he must be trained with emphasis."
"Zhou Mian, go to Qinhan Academy. Princess Zhenzhen, we're going to pick up your mother."
[Hehe, then I can watch the live broadcast first. Mom said my aunt will be there today.]

Qinhan Academy.
The Concubine Chen did go to the academy with her sister today.
After arriving at the academy, as soon as she entered the room, she handed the Great Qin Law to her sister.
Seeing her sister's increasingly shocked expression, she suddenly felt secretly happy.
This law does not favor either man or woman, but instead has a special section dedicated to dealing with contentious relationships between men and women.
It is no longer like before, when a woman would be punished by the family rules regardless of whether she was right or wrong after marrying into her husband's family.
If the husband's family uses torture without permission, you can sue the government, and the government will decide on the punishment.
If the person is marrying into the wife's family, he is also within the scope of acceptance.
Qin Zhenzhen's aunt Yang Dingyi is subject to this regulation.
"Sister, it's written here that your mother-in-law bribed the midwife to force you to have two deaths. This is murder and you can sue."
