Chapter 243 Weird Relatives (asking for monthly tickets)
Not only that, Ying Zheng also implemented a new official selection system. Every year, he selected and examined people with outstanding abilities, virtue, integrity, and profound knowledge in each county, summoned them to Xianyang for assessment by the Supreme Court, and then he would review and appoint them to official positions.
In other words, in addition to the military merit system, the Qin State also used this selection method to gather talents from all over the country.
When the news spread, knowledgeable people from all over the Qin State sent visiting letters to the local county governors and magistrates.
Private schools in various places also began to flourish.
When Zhao Yuanxi heard the news, he was still a little surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Qin State was too efficient.
In less than a month, the new official selection system was finalized and even implemented.
Although this method, which is similar to the recommendation system, has its drawbacks, it is enough to solve the current situation of Qin State's difficulty in recruiting people. However, it is visibly that King Ying Zheng of Qin seems to have more government affairs to deal with.
All the people in the world treat him like cattle and horses, and he also treats himself like a cattle and horse.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled helplessly.
Zhang Cang is now serving as the Chief Censor, and Xu Yi works under the Taicang Magistrate. However, Zou Heng makes her feel a little strange, as he has become a historian under the Grand Historian.
Although the Grand Historian was not only a historian but also in charge of the calendar and astrology, the thought that Zou Heng might seriously write history books one day was really inconsistent with his charlatan temperament.
Those from the Legalist school continued to stay with Han Fei.
Although Han Fei was no longer the prime minister or one of the Nine Ministers, he was appointed as the Grand Tutor and given a new mansion.
Zhao Yuanxi also met Han Fei these days. As expected, Han Fei was one of the great talents she was looking for. The star above her head was particularly bright.
She also met Li Si. In her eyes, Li Si could definitely compete with Han Fei, but unfortunately his name did not appear on the task bar.
This also proves that those talented people who have masters cannot be the targets of her tasks. Although Han Fei has surrendered to the Qin State, he still works for her. Even if the King of Qin recruits and appoints him, Han Fei still bears her mark.
Zhao Yuanxi even discovered a new and wonderful use for this task. Whether it was Zhang Cang or Han Fei, their emotions seemed to affect the color of the star. If they were angry, it would be red; if they were depressed, it would be blue; and if they were happy, it would be green.
She knew this because Zhang Cang had green stars on his head swaying in front of his eyes all day long, while Han Fei had a blue light flashing on his head from time to time.
Zhao Yuanxi often stared at the stars in a daze. In order not to affect her thinking, she could only try hard not to look at the tops of their heads.
Over time, she discovered that she could control the appearance of stars.
You reminded, "Empress Dowager, Mr. Zhang Liang is back."
Zhang Liang's return meant that the king of Han had also come to Xianyang, and it also meant that Han had been conquered by Qin.
"Where are the others?"
"The king is summoning the King of Han and his ministers, and Mr. Zhang Liang is accompanying him."
The King of Qin was bound to host a banquet for these people. Zhao Yuanxi had no intention of joining in the fun, but instead asked, "Has Han Fei gone?"
"Mr. Han Fei claimed to be ill and did not appear, but I heard that some Han people who entered Qin went to see him."
Zhao Yuanxi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Han Fei is someone she recognizes, and she doesn't want to see Han Fei being angered to death by those people.
Han Fei's mansion was only three miles away from the Qin Palace and five miles away from Zhao Yuanxi's Ganquan Palace. Soon, Zhao Yuanxi's carriage stopped at the door of his mansion.
When the guard at the door saw that it was the Queen Mother visiting, he immediately saluted.
Zhao Yuanxi got out of the car and saw many carriages parked around. "Wow! There are quite a lot of people coming!"
This Taifu Mansion has probably never been so lively.
"Who are here?" Zhao Yuanxi asked the manager who was leading the way.
The steward thought of the arrogant people in the room, then glanced at the calm Queen Mother, "They are all relatives of the Grand Tutor. They heard that the Grand Tutor is favored by the King, and they are all begging the Grand Tutor to find them some official positions!"
As he spoke, the steward's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of dissatisfaction.
The group of people looked like decent people, but they were rude in their words and had no respect for their dignity. He had never seen such shameless people.
Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and walked to the front hall. Before he entered, he heard noisy sounds inside.
"Uncle San, you're living a comfortable life now. You sent your disciples to Han to persuade them to surrender, which saved your wealth and glory. It's a pity for us. Unlike the King of Han, who could be granted a title of Marquis and continue to enjoy a life of luxury, we have nothing now. If Uncle San doesn't help us nephews, I'm afraid we'll starve to death on the streets."
Han Fei's face was extremely ugly. "What else can I do?"
"Uncle San can do so many things. You are now the Grand Tutor of the King of Qin. You only need to move your lips and the rest of us will be able to benefit from it, right?"
Han Fei: "The position of Grand Tutor is just an empty title. It doesn't matter whether Qin has me or not."
"What you said is true. If you were not important, why would the King of Qin go to such great lengths to win you over? Isn't it because he's impressed by your talent? We've also learned a lot from you. If you can do something, we can help, right? Just give us a favor, and everyone will be happy."
Han Fei coughed twice, his face turned black with anger. These people were ignorant in Han State and became officials just to make more money. Now they came to Qin State, but still wanted to continue that kind of life.
If we allow them to do whatever they want in Qin, they will be courting death.
Han Fei felt very disappointed with his friend, but also felt helpless.
"Do you want to help?" Zhao Yuanxi walked in with a smile. There were seven or eight people in the room. Except for the man who had just spoken in an irritating way, everyone else looked as if it was a matter of course.
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Han Fei meaningfully, his eyes revealing something: "Is this the Korean royal family you want to protect?"
Han Fei looked embarrassed and lowered his head.
"Who are you?" The man looked at Zhao Yuanxi frivolously, his tone disdainful, "I'm discussing matters with my third uncle, so how can a woman like you interrupt?"
"Shut up! This is the Queen Mother of Qin!"
Before Zhao Yuanxi could reveal his identity, Han Fei frowned and scolded him.
"The Queen Mother of Qin?" The man was stunned, his expression flustered. "I, your humble servant, am rude. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
Zhao Yuanxi said coldly with a fake smile, "How dare I, a woman, punish you?"
Everyone was so scared that they all knelt on the ground. The sound of their knees hitting the ground was so painful.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I never meant that!"
Zhao Yuanxi walked through the crowd and went straight to the top, slowly sitting down opposite Han Fei. "It's been a while since we last met. Master Han looks much more haggard. Please sit down first!"
