Chapter 106 Zhao Yi is still the best! (The end of the book)

Of course Li Si knew what His Majesty meant - the tuition fees His Majesty was talking about were not ordinary small amounts of tuition fees that would be of no pain to the nobles.

His Majesty wants me to formulate a special fee schedule for aristocratic schools, charging different tuition amounts based on the wealth of the nobles.

Who made those nobles dislike the classes specially opened by Your Majesty?
Li Si also agreed with His Majesty's approach. After all, those nobles have monopolized education for so long that they should pay a price.

Those nobles in Sandhill County will surely regret their arrogant behavior of not sending their family members to study in the academy.

Because Your Majesty is planning to pilot an official selection examination in the future.

The policy of selecting officials for examinations was also introduced because of Zhao Yi.

Before, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Yi about the relevant content, and Zhao Yi simply sorted out two documents for Ying Zheng. One was the imperial examination, and the other was the civil service examination in later generations.

Ying Zheng then gave the two pieces of information to Li Si to formulate an official selection examination policy that was in line with the conditions of the Qin Dynasty.

After reading the two documents, Li Si once again admired Zhao Yi for coming up with such a fair examination policy.

Once it is implemented, it will definitely break the current situation where the aristocratic class monopolizes the selection of court officials.

It won’t be long before those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years will fall apart.

So Li Si developed a new official selection and examination system for the Qin Dynasty based on the information provided by Zhao Yi.

A large part of the knowledge points in the official selection examination are taught in these schools.

Moreover, the characters used in the official selection examination are the simplified characters taught in class.

It can be said that the prerequisite for becoming an official of the Qin Dynasty in the future is to complete your studies in the classroom.

Therefore, those nobles will definitely go to class to study obediently.

However, it will take several years before the official selection examination is implemented.

Because now the imperial court needs time to open schools in various parts of Daqin, and students from the lower classes also need time to study and complete their studies.

Later, when Ying Zheng ordered the opening of official schools in various places, nobles from all over the country realized that something was wrong, so they began to send people to study in the schools.

But at that time, the school had already begun to implement the aristocratic fee policy formulated by Li Si.

If the nobles wanted to enroll in the school, they had to pay a painful amount of tuition to study.

The tuition fee was set based on the percentage of the nobles' income share in recent years, similar to the tax policy of later generations.

The higher the income of an aristocratic family, the higher the tuition fees they pay.

However, even so, the nobles gritted their teeth and paid the tuition. After all, they could see that His Majesty was definitely doing something by setting up this school.

If you don't study, you will definitely fall behind. If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you fall behind, you will lose everything.

At that time, the nobles of Sand Dune County also regretted their actions.

There was once a free school education in front of them, but they did not cherish it.

It was too late for them to regret when the school started charging high tuition fees.

When the new official selection policy came into effect a few years later, the nobles of Sandhill County regretted their decision even more.

Especially when the first batch of students passed the examination and became officials, the nobles of Shaqiu County regretted so much that they slapped themselves in the face, regretting why they were so arrogant in the first place.

And all this is because of Zhao Yi.

At that time, those people whose fate was changed because of the school thanked Zhao Yi one after another, while those nobles whose interests were harmed could only curse Zhao Yi in their hearts.

……

After visiting the school, Ying Zheng returned to Shahe Village.

Then the guard presented him with a letter from Fusu from Jiuyuan County.

This letter traveled across most of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng was a little surprised to find that it was from Fusu.

Because since Fusu was demoted to Jiuyuan County by him, he never wrote to him except for sending him gifts on Christmas and the Spring Festival.

(In ancient times, Christmas meant the birthday of the emperor or the empress dowager, but after the monarchy was abolished during the Republic of China, the meaning was appropriated by a certain church. In fact, some emperors even gave their own birthdays special festival names, such as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang’s Christmas, which was also called Tianchang Festival.)
And Ying Zheng also understood that the reason why Fusu wrote to him at those times was because he followed the etiquette and laws advocated by Confucianism.

The most important thing in etiquette is filial piety.

If there was no letter during Christmas and Spring Festival, it would be considered unfilial in Fusu's view, as he followed Confucianism.

So what did Fusu want to tell me by suddenly writing to me?

With curiosity, Ying Zheng opened Fusu's letter.

After reading the letter, Ying Zheng snorted in dissatisfaction and threw the letter on the table.

"That guy still hasn't changed his bad habits. It must be that group of Confucian officials who told him those things." Ying Zheng said angrily.

Ying Zheng did not expect that Fusu's rare letter would turn out to be a letter of advice criticizing him.

That guy Fusu doesn't even know what he's doing but keeps talking nonsense!
It must be that group of great scholars again!

Ying Zheng gave Confucianism another lesson.

Ying Zheng sighed and shook his head.

Why are my two children so incompetent?
Fusu was brainwashed by Confucianism and spent all his time thinking about restoring the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system.

The other Hu Hai now seems to be useless.

Ever since I sent him down to Jiujiang County, he has been writing to me every now and then to beg for mercy.

He either said that this was not good about Jiujiang County, or that was not good about Jiujiang County, and kept begging me to let him go.

Ying Zheng didn't expect that Hu Hai couldn't even bear this little hardship, so Ying Zheng is very disappointed with Hu Hai now.

Compared with Fusu and Hu Hai, Zhao Yi seems so outstanding.

It can bring so many advanced technologies to Daqin and solve various hidden dangers of Daqin.

It can be said that Zhao Yi is the new generation savior of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but thank God for giving him such an outstanding child.

He believed that with Zhao Yi around, the Qin Dynasty would surely be able to unify the world for generations to come!
After thinking of Zhao Yi, Ying Zheng's originally bad mood improved a lot.

Then Ying Zheng got up and walked out of the house. He wanted to go to the factory to take a look.

Because the time has come for the new machine that Zhao Yi mentioned to be assembled.

According to Zhao Yi, the new machine will be able to completely change this era.

So Ying Zheng was very curious about what the new machine Zhao Yi was talking about was?
It can make Zhao Yi say that it can change this era!
You have to know that the last machine that made Zhao Yi say this was the steam engine.

……

When Ying Zheng arrived at the factory, he saw Zhao Yi already standing there directing the workers to debug the newly assembled machine.

Ying Zheng looked at the new machine carefully.

It was a large round wheel with a diameter of two meters, with something like copper wire wrapped around it.

Ying Zheng had no idea what this machine was used for.

Suddenly, a colorful light shone towards Zhao Yi, accompanied by the voice of the Lord of Time: Zhao Yi, you have disrupted the course of history and affected future generations. Now I will erase all traces of you in this world and send you back to your original world. The protagonist ascended to the end of the light.
