"Dad, what do you say? I should record the results of this assessment of all officials in the newspaper." Zhao Qingrui found Ying Zheng. Of course, he would use such a good gimmick.
"Will this have a bad impact?" Ying Zheng was a little hesitant. Many people in the court were very concerned about their reputation.
"How could that be? For those who did well in the exam, this is a great opportunity to make a name for themselves. As for those who didn't do well, they have no one to blame for their own incompetence, right, Dad?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. She wanted to make the court bulletin more official, and these big news should be released from her.
Ying Zheng agreed without much hesitation. According to what his daughter said, it was not a bad thing.
If those people are ashamed, they should just try harder to do well in the next exam.
And just like that, the content of next week’s official bulletin was ready.
There was a lot of content in the official gazette, and it became completely popular in Xianyang during this period. Anyone could get it for just three and a half taels of money.
Especially in those teahouses, people were discussing the contents of the court bulletin everywhere.
The essay contest in the official newspaper also caught the attention of many people who wanted to become famous. This was an opportunity to become famous, and if they were selected, they could get money.
Many people were secretly preparing to write a couple of articles to test the waters.
Writing this kind of vernacular is not difficult for them.
The use of these punctuation marks in newspapers has also become popular in Xianyang. It can make sentences read more clearly, and many people regard it as a treasure.
Feng Quji was holding the test paper. The one in his hand was the one for the first place.
The first place in this exam was actually just a minor official, but he was a minor official promoted by His Majesty himself.
This person was Xiao He, who was promoted by the First Emperor from a chief clerk to a counselor. Although he currently has little presence in the court, no one dares to provoke him easily because they were promoted by the First Emperor himself.
Cao Shen, who was promoted by His Majesty like Xiao He, also performed very well in this exam and ranked third.
Feng Quji looked at the test paper in his hand. The paper was clean, and the answers to the questions asked by the little princess were even more brilliant. The first place was chosen by His Majesty.
It was such a waste to have such talents just be chief clerks before. I don’t know how Your Majesty discovered the abilities of these two people.
Feng Quji stroked his beard and began to think about where to put this man.
The results are out, and now many official positions in the court need to be changed. Those who were eliminated for cheating, plus those who failed the assessment, almost account for half of the court.
Feng Quji started to have a headache again as to where to find so many more people to fill these positions.
"Prime Minister Li, what do you think is the best position for Xiao He and Cao Shen?" Unable to make up his mind, Feng Quji asked Li Si.
"Cao Shen used to be a prison official. How about letting him be the Chief Justice? As for Xiao He, he can be a clerk. I have observed him during this period. He is very good at dealing with people. The position of clerk is just right for him." Li Si said after a moment of hesitation.
"The usher needs to be in charge of the etiquette of court meetings, accept memorials from subjects, and serve as a special envoy to handle temporary official business. Are you sure he is capable of doing this?" Feng Quji was a little surprised. He did not expect that Li Si would give him such an important position.
"What is there to worry about? His Majesty has set a three-month probation period. If it is not suitable, you can move to another position." Li Si was not too worried.
"I'm obsessed with appearances, that's true. We have three months of probation to observe." Feng Quji laughed and wrote down the position arrangements for Xiao He and Cao Shen on a piece of paper.
When Ying Zheng received the arrangement for the two, he was quite satisfied. As expected of his right-hand men, the capable ones basically occupied all the important positions. He didn't have to worry about the court institutions being unable to function properly if a small number of people were dismissed.
Ying Zheng only modified a few places and asked Zhao Gao to copy them and send someone to convey his order.
I have to say that the examination method proposed by my daughter was really useful. It directly cleared out a large number of people.
"Send these to Qingrui and ask her to register them in the newspaper." Ying Zheng handed the paper in his hand to Zhao Gao. He also wanted to see what the entire Qin Dynasty would become under the leadership of his daughter, and infinite expectations surged in his heart.
Zhao Qingrui took the promotion list of officials sent by Zhao Gao, looked at the names on it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. When he had time, he would definitely go and see what Xiao He and Cao Shen looked like.
"Sister Lian, please register these on the largest page so that everyone can see them." Zhao Qingrui gave the paper to Shangshi and asked her to arrange it.
"Little sister, there are so many articles submitted. Do you want to take a look too?" Looking at these articles submitted for the essay contest, Yin Man felt overwhelmed. There were simply too many of them, and their current team could not read them all.
"Look, if there are not enough people, just recruit some more." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. These tasks were too complicated. She was the chief officer here, so of course these things had to be left to the people below.
"Sister Yin Man, you just need to be the general leader. Once they have selected the ones who can be used, you will be the one to select and report them. Don't put too much burden on yourself. If there are not enough people here, go to Xianyang to recruit people. There are so many people in Xianyang, you will definitely be able to select people who can be used. If it really doesn't work, call all the brothers and sisters to help." Zhao Qingrui had his eyes on those brothers and sisters.
Most of the brothers have their own positions, but there are a few who are relatively idle and are not working in the court for the time being. As for the sisters, except for those who married in Xianyang, they all take care of their own family affairs and are actually very idle. It is better to find something for them to do.
"Why don't we call Meng Yu and Wang Xian over here? They are also very knowledgeable." Yin Man thought her sister's idea was good.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, sister. I'm going to go to the farm and take a look." Zhao Qingrui patted Yin Man's shoulder. She needed to keep an eye on the brick kiln on the farm, and it was time for her to go and take a look at the other farms.
Yin Man, who was entrusted with an important task: ...
"Okay, I'll try."
After arranging the report, Zhao Qingrui took his guards and rode his horse directly to the farm.
After giving advance notice, Manager Pang was already waiting for Zhao Qingrui here.
It has been a while since I last came to this farm. The land here has been reclaimed from the barren hills and many fruit trees have been planted. According to Zhao Qingrui's request, some sweet potatoes and potatoes have also been planted. The sweet potatoes are planted with vines brought from Shanglinyuan, while the potatoes are seeds transported from Jingshui Pavilion.
Several large ponds have been dug at the foot of the mountain. The ponds have been dug and lotus roots have been planted in them.
