Chapter 293
No one was willing to miss such an important opportunity.
Whether it was merchants, commoners, or scholars, they all wanted to change their family's destiny through studying and taking exams.
Not only in Xianyang City, but even the cities around Xianyang City, those close by that received the news, were all boiling!
However.
There was a group of people who were all frowning.
These were the officials.
When every official learned of this news, they all thought it was fake.
Not to mention His Majesty's golden body, how could he possibly go and be some dean?
How could the imperial court abolish the recommendation system? This must be fake!
But after seeing the rest, they believed it was true.
Once the imperial examination system was promoted, this matter would have the greatest impact on them.
Originally, their descendants could be officials for generations; as long as they had wide connections, even a piece of trash could be recommended to become an official.
But once this imperial examination system was promoted, if their descendants in the future didn't work harder, they wouldn't even be able to become officials.
After they died of old age, if their sons were not officials, they would only be reduced to being commoners.
Once the recommendation system was abolished, their official positions could no longer be passed down; those with ability would occupy them!
After Qin unified the world, the hereditary system was generally limited to titles of nobility; official positions were not hereditary.
Of course, many aristocratic families' monopoly on official positions was also nearly hereditary.
Once the imperial examination system was promoted, they would lose this advantage!
Such a scheme, needless to say, this method must be Ying Ying Zi Ye's masterpiece again.
At this time, the Great Qin officials who learned this news hated Ying Ying Zi Ye to the core.
Many officials at this moment wanted to unite to resist Ying Ying Zi Ye!
But very quickly, they didn't dare to anymore.
They all thought of Ying Ying Zi Ye's previous tax reform.
If there was any disagreement, the whole family would be executed!
Daring to resist Ying Ying Zi Ye, if one thing went wrong, the whole family might be executed!
Moreover, His Majesty should know about this matter; otherwise, such a big thing as the imperial examination system could not be implemented.
After figuring this out, the imperial court officials didn't dare to unite to resist.
They could only find ways to spur the sons in their families to study hard.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to keep their official positions in the future!
This imperial examination system was undoubtedly another reform.
And it was even more violent than the tax reform.
This news became more and more intense; some people believed it was true, while others thought the news was fake.
Most officials were concerned about the abolition of the recommendation system and the promotion of the imperial examination system.
While commoners, merchants, and scholars were concerned about the academy being opened.
As for whether this news was true or false, it would depend on tomorrow; tomorrow everything would be known.
