Chapter 678
It took a lot of time to finish the thick bamboo slips. No matter what kind of courtiers he was, he listened very seriously. The only reason for this is that this matter is closely related to their personal interests. Moreover, before this matter, Ying Gao had reminded them that they should pay attention to the cultivation of their offspring and make them the best in the imperial examinations as much as possible.
In the past few years, the imperial examinations have not been difficult, especially for these wealthy nobles. If they really make great efforts to let their children learn the words of the sages, what kind of emperor would Ying Gao be? How did they manage the Qin Dynasty and tell their young masters that they will definitely not be at this level.
Ying Gao knew that there were a few more visionary officials who brought back the young master who had been lying outside at the beginning of the imperial examination, and spent money to hire some great scholars to teach them, and scolded those who did not listen to the great scholars' teachings well.
Such young men have become officials of the Qin Dynasty through the imperial examination a year or two. Although some of them were sent to the Western Regions for training by Ying Gao, if they return to the Central Plains in a few years, they will be people who can stand alone. Such people are actually not afraid that they will lose their titles after they die. They know that they spend the rest of their time and resources on their children, that would be right. Even if they cannot obtain a very good title, at least their clan will definitely not be left behind.
And some guys who are confused and scattered are all stunned after hearing these things.
Through adaptation and accumulation over the past few years, the imperial examinations of Daqin have gradually become increasingly difficult. In the first few years, because ordinary children have just started to learn knowledge and lectures have just emerged. All the people who participated in the imperial examinations are not very powerful. Often, you know a lot. If you know a little about the current policies and directions of Daqin, you will be able to win.
But it will be different after a few years. On the one hand, Ying Gao’s gap in employment is no longer as big as in previous years. On the other hand, the children of the people have accumulated more and more knowledge and reserves, which has led to more competition. Many teenagers fail in the first year, second or third year, and more experienced people are coming, and more people start to teach in schools. If you want to stand out under such circumstances, you must be a real talent.
At this time, it would be quite difficult for those old nobles to let their children who were used to living and drinking to start over again.
But the road has been done. As Xiao He finished reading these changes, Ying Gao also announced at that time that this matter would be sent to various counties as soon as the court was over, and then the officials of various counties would inform the villages of the news, so that all the people of the Qin Dynasty would know that from this moment on, almost all the titles of the Qin Dynasty would be treated as empty thrones for all the people of the Qin Dynasty. As long as you make outstanding contributions to the Qin Dynasty, you can be a nobleman of the Qin Dynasty, and it will be a lifetime, but it cannot be passed on to your own children.
Ying Gao believed that this news would prevent the people of Daqin from losing their direction in the long-term peace. Ying Gao wanted to let them know that the title of Daqin can not only be obtained from the battlefield, but under his leadership in the future, the development of Daqin has just begun. He wanted the place of Daqin to truly become a benchmark in the world in all aspects. Such an idea cannot be thought out with a slap in the brain. He also had to rely on the system to guide him.
The first step that led to the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin was obviously to make them firmly believe that if they followed the ideas of the Emperor of Daqin, they would have been able to gain a place in the capital of Daqin, who had been poor and could only live in the village before.
After destroying Sai and the Romans, the Qin Dynasty did not enter a stage of happiness as some people expected. Instead, the enthusiasm of the people increased.
Among these people, there are obviously three guys who look different from those of the Qin people, Sarisauga, Antioch III and Philip V.
As guest officials of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Gao would come here to ask them to listen to the major events of the Qin Dynasty. This was no longer a good thing for them to learn about the latest news of the Qin Dynasty, but it was always a huge torment.
Regarding the three of them, Ying Gao did not stop their interactions after coming back this time, and even selected three close-to-face residences for the three of them. He allowed the three of them to drink and drink together in a rare manner, talk about their previous events, and save themselves from thinking about things at home every day.
In this way, all the three of them gave Ying Gao a great face, and basically became close friends who could talk about everything without much time. After Ying Gao announced in the court that the hereditary title of Daqin was abolished, the three of them sat in the garden of the Antioch family after the court dispersed. While drinking a small wine, they sighed and said the move that Ying Gao suddenly issued.
"I have been in Xianyang City for some time. For some reason, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty did not value the nobles of the Qin Dynasty at all. Unexpectedly, this time it was completely abolished the hereditary rights of these nobles. In this way, I don't know how many nobles will spend their lives in suffering in the future!"
Shari Saiga is the one who has been in Xianyang City for the longest time. How did Ying Gao treat the Qin nobles who made mistakes? He has seen too many of them. He originally thought that Ying Gao might have had a festive relationship with these nobles before he became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. But now it seems that people have given these people one-size-fits-all approaches, so obviously there is no festive interpretation.
"Yes, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty is really a decisive person. It is really rare for us and the three of us to survive under his iron hooves and enjoy the prosperous era of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang City. If we were all like the consuls of the Romans, we would not be today."
Philip V always felt that he was the closest to danger. If he had not agreed to surrender to Ying Gao, he felt that Ying Gao would have executed him at that time. Now, after hearing the words of Sharishuga, he picked up the wine in front of him, took a sip, and then said.
Indeed, Philip V had the dream of conquering the whole world, but Ying Gao's appearance made him who could not beat the Roman consul. At the beginning, he always felt a little unwilling to accept it, but after living in Xianyang City for a while, the feeling was really gone. Philip V felt that this was so comfortable, and it was so much easier than the previous Macedonian monarch.
Although he also knew that he was just anesthesizing himself. If he sat in Ying Gao's position now, it would definitely be much more enjoyable than he is now. However, among these three people, he was the best person to use his head. He knew what Ying Gao meant to put the three of them together, and it was nothing more than to monitor each other in time. Because of their different backgrounds, it was basically impossible for the three of them to do something together. In this case, if one of them had any abnormal movement, the other two people would definitely find some clues.
"You two are right. We will spend our whole life in Xianyang City of Daqin. In this way, we are really not much stronger than the people in other places of Daqin. This is the capital of Daqin, a place that ordinary people can't come to. Moreover, we enjoy better than some of the nobles of Daqin. As long as we forget our previous experiences, we will have a good end!"
Antioch III also whispered this sentence, and then drank all the wine around him. Philip V understood Antioch III. When he was smearing sulfur, the reason why he chose to be an ally with Antioch III among the dynasties around him whose strength was not as good as his was simply because Antioch III was a war maniac. Now, after he arrived in Xianyang City, he discovered that he, the war maniac, had been completely transformed by Ying Gao. Although he was a little depressed occasionally, Antioch III had already completely accepted his fate.
Ying Gao knew that he could not be a tyrant, and not a tyrant, one thing that must be possessed is that he could not kill too many people. Only those who most people in the world think should be killed can he kill. If you want to be like Sharishuga and Antioch III, he might as well leave these people in Xianyang City. In this way, whenever the people in Xianyang City see them, they will think of how awesome the Great Qin cavalry led by Ying Gao is, so the effect of keeping them must be much greater than killing them.
A month later, Ying Gao received news that almost the entire Qin Dynasty knew the policy he had set in the court, that is, the nobles would not pass on each generation, and rely on their own ability to earn the title and treatment of a noble, but they could not pass it on to their descendants. In this way, Ying Gao believed that what he would improve would be the ability and quality of the entire Qin people.
"Your Majesty, this policy was issued shortly after the Qin Dynasty unified the world. I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among some people with ulterior motives..."
Just when Ying Gao was happy about the results he achieved, Tian Yan was the first to stand up to express his concerns.
After all, Ying Gao was different this time from the previous times. He had been damaging the interests of some people little by little, but this time, he cut off his future hopes. Tian Yan was worried that this would cause some people to be anxious, so he reminded Ying Gao from time to time.
But if this were the case before, Tian Yan would definitely not have reminded her every day. As long as she was with Ying Gao, she would have confidence. Even if someone wanted to do what she was worried about, she would definitely be able to keep Ying Gao's comprehensive.
As for now, at least during this period, Tian Yan does not have this ability for the time being, because Ying Gao is staring at her slightly raised belly at this time.
During the period when Ying Gao returned from Sai Yan, he did not delay his serious work, but he also fulfilled Tian Yan's wish at night.
Of course, Ying Gao knew that he and Feng Qing's children were several years old, but because Tian Yan has been protecting him for so many years, he never thought about giving birth to a child for himself.
In this era, Tian Yan, who is already in his twenties, is obviously one of the few people who have no children at this age. She will also think about this. Now she is four or five months pregnant. In a few months, she will have her and Ying Gao’s children.
During this period, the important task of taking care of Ying Gao's daily life and other matters naturally fell on Feng Qing. Although Feng Qing took care of Ying Gao in every detail, there is one thing that Feng Qing is not like Tian Yan. She is a weak woman, and the important task of protecting Ying Gao's safety still fell on the Zhu family and the imperial guards.
Tian Yan was not worried about these people, but he was just used to protecting Ying Gao. When he left Ying Gao, he was naturally suspicious.
In fact, Ying Gao himself had thought about the worries raised by Tian Yan before, so when facing Tian Yan like this, Ying Gao just smiled slightly.
"If there are really people like that, when they plan this matter, they will be destined to end. But please rest assured that Xianyang City is not the Xianyang City a few years ago. Even if someone wants to let me die, they may only think about it in their hearts or dreams. And you, your mission is not with me..."
After saying that, Ying Gao pointed to Tian Yan's stomach with his finger. The meaning was self-evident. Obviously, Ying Gao had completely done something like assassination that he was not afraid of itchy. He didn't believe that there were still assassins who were even more powerful than Zhang Liang back then. In the memory of Ying Gao, the wine bags in Xianyang City were at most crying at home for a few days, and then he lived his life with the idea of being drunk in Jinchao. Thinking that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, it will be over.
This matter still needs to be quiet for a while, and only after a while will Ying Gao truly do the big things he wants to do.
