Chapter 358 Lingnan Epidemic



There are many people who are as hardworking as Jia Henian, and Zhao Qingrui has even heard a lot of complaints.

Not only is the difficulty of the assessment increased this year, but the exam is also divided into subjects, which is too new for them.

But if they want to move up and pursue a career in politics, this is the only way.

What can I do? I can only learn. As long as I don’t die from studying, I will study until I die.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the young people holding books, both men and women, all of whom longed to become officials of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the number of applicants this year seems to be even greater than last year.

However, there are still many restrictions on the number of admissions.

Currently, she and the ministers in the court have agreed to only admit one hundred people each year, and these one hundred people are dispersed among various departments.

It’s like the cabinet, where two people are elected every three years, and at most two or three people from other departments are added.

If the quality of the people being assessed is not good enough and the number of people admitted has not yet reached the standard, the admission will not be expanded. The main reason is that it is better to have no one than to have unqualified people.

Looking at the serious Jia Henian, Zhao Qingrui had no intention of going over to say hello.

When Jia Henian contacted her before, she had already checked all of Jia Henian's ancestors to determine whether he had any ulterior motives.

Zhao Qingrui didn't pay much attention to this person. Compared with Jia Henian, she cared more about people with real knowledge.

Over the past year or so, schools have been established in various places, and the number of students has gradually increased. Zhao Qingrui has also learned a lot about education from the Ministry of Rites.

Those who won awards are smarter and can learn things quickly.

The Ministry of Rites has prepared a copy of these lists.

These talents are the future of Daqin. Zhao Qingrui even plans to set up a special department to recruit child prodigies from all over the country.

After dinner, Zhao Qingrui went to see Yin Man again.

Yin Man is also studying with a book in her arms now. She is also preparing to take the exam.

She also quit her previous job at the Dibao Office.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming, and you didn't even clean up the house properly." Yin Man chuckled.

"No need to be so serious. I just came to see you. How are you doing in your studies?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"Don't mention it. I feel like my brain is going to explode. There are too many things to be tested. I need to consolidate my knowledge and do exercises during this period of time. I don't even have time to pay attention to Cong'er." Yin Man rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.

As the difficulty of the examination increases, the court will also give some hints on the aspects to be tested.

However, since the establishment of the official assessment system, all kinds of teaching materials have been flying around. In addition to the materials in Zhao Qingrui's bookstore, many bookstores have also produced some excellent materials, and even the mock exams are very good.

The scope of the exam involves hundreds of books, including newly emerging books, new books on politics and economics collected by the National Library, and some classics by famous authors.

The wide range of issues involved has made countless people wear masks of pain.

"Ahem, the selection of officials is also for the benefit of the Qin Dynasty, so it's so difficult." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.

"I know. I'm a bit idle at home all day, but after preparing for the exam, just like you said, I'm exhausted as a dog." Yin Man complained.

"Hahaha, sister is right. However, there is no rainbow without wind and rain. If it is easily obtained, those people will not pay much attention to it." From the perspective of a superior, Zhao Qingrui naturally hopes to select the best talents and then send these talents to various positions to shine.

"You're right, but I don't want to listen." Yin Man covered her ears in pain. At this time, her mind was full of interpretations of various government decrees, analyses of various cases encountered, and even a bunch of famous quotes from ancient sages.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Zhao Qingrui surrendered quickly. It was indeed a bit unkind of him to stab his sister in the heart at this time.

It was already evening when they returned to the palace. Xiaobai pounced on them. Xiaobai was taller now, but he was still very lively.

All matters in the court were proceeding in an orderly manner. Zhao Qingrui felt that his life was like a stagnant pool, with only endless political affairs to accompany him.

"Your Majesty, something happened." In the middle of the night, Zhao Qingrui was awakened by the palace maid.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingrui said with an unhappy look, feeling a little grumpy after waking up. She quickly put on her clothes and asked the palace maid to comb her hair.

"It's the Minister of Revenue, Lord Li Si, who has an urgent report and requests to see Your Majesty." The palace maid said respectfully.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the moon hanging high outside. What happened at this time?

Li Si came here in person at this time, it must be a big deal.

After changing into the crown and robes, she arrived at Zhangtai Palace, where Li Si was already waiting for her.

The cold was still quite strong at this time, and there was a little rain.

Zhao Qingrui saw Li Si with raindrops on his hair and asked, "Mr. Li, why do you come here at this time?" Zhao Qingrui stopped Li Si from kneeling.

Li Si came in such a hurry, the matter must be serious and important.

"Your Majesty, there is an epidemic in Lingnan. Two counties there are already seriously affected by the epidemic. Tens of thousands of people have died in Guilin and Xiang counties." Li Si's voice was trembling.

"How outrageous! So many people died from the epidemic, why didn't the local officials report it in time?" Zhao Qingrui was shocked. He slammed the desk in front of him in half with one palm, and the documents on the desk were scattered all over the floor.

The palace maids and eunuchs around were kneeling on the ground, trembling.

His Majesty is usually gentle and easy to talk to, and they have never seen him so angry.
