Chapter 557

Once the problems facing Great Qin are understood, and this opportunity is grasped well, perhaps it will be a chance for Great Tang to counterattack.

It might even be possible to recover the lost territory north of the river.

This was something Li Er longed for, and he immediately perked up.

"I wonder what the problem is?"

Fang Xuanling also perked up, wanting to hear what Qin Mu had to say.

I wonder what tricks Qin Mu is going to use again?

The experience of failing countless times told him that whenever Qin Mu speaks of something, it is never simple.

It is always hiding a conspiracy behind it, which will eventually lead to Great Tang suffering a big loss.

"Great Qin Emperor, please speak."

Qin Mu had a playful smile on his face.

"Great Qin has just occupied this large area of land north of the river, adding hundreds of cities and over ten million new commoners. How to govern them gives me a headache."

After finishing, he sighed heavily, making a very difficult appearance.

Li Er was waiting eagerly to hear the problems facing Great Qin.

Who knew he would hear this!

This is naked showing off!

The huge psychological gap made Li Er's neck muscles jump.

He wanted to say, if you can't govern them, why grab them? Give the cities and commoners back to me!

Unfortunately, he didn't dare!

If he really said it, not only would the cities and commoners not come back, but he wouldn't be able to go back either.

Qin Mu was clearly trying to anger them on purpose.

Fang Xuanling was afraid Li Er would be impulsive and hurriedly spoke up.

"Governing the common people used to rely mainly on noble families. Unfortunately, Your Majesty has offended all those noble families. Now there is a shortage of low-level officials; this is indeed a problem." Qin Mu sighed pretentiously.

"Yes, without those noble families, who can I rely on? Prime Minister Fang, Old Li, help me come up with an idea."

Again?

During the two previous decisive battles with the Turks, Qin Mu had asked them for ideas.

Facts proved that Qin Mu actually had ideas long ago.

He was just deliberately teasing them.

But even knowing he was being teased, Fang Xuanling had to speak.

"Recruiting low-level officials, Old Li is quite good at this."

Damn it!

As soon as Li Er heard this, Fang Xuanling kicked the problem to him again without hesitation.

He glared fiercely at Fang Xuanling.

"Great Qin Emperor, low-level officials do not have high positions, but they are the cornerstone of a nation's stability and are very important! Not only do they need to be literate and understand reason and law, but they also need some experience in handling government affairs. Speaking of which, only the children of noble families have such abilities."

Li Er very cunningly led the solution back to the noble families.

He wanted to see if Qin Mu would compromise with the noble families when facing such a problem.

He had mocked him before for not daring to provoke the noble families?

Now, retribution has come!

Changle sat beside Qin Mu, looking at him a bit nervously.

"Brother-in-law, do you really have to rely on those noble families?"

Qin Mu pinched Changle's little nose.

"Of course not! I intend to open the imperial examination and hold the first imperial examination of the Great Qin Kingdom!"

The first imperial examination!

Changle laughed.

"Brother-in-law, I knew you would have a way!"

She turned to Fang Xuanling and Li Er.

"Prime Minister Fang, Old Li, did you hear that? Our Great Qin is also going to hold an imperial examination, and there will definitely not be any swapping of the top graduate!"

Li Er and Fang Xuanling's faces turned blue and red.

How embarrassing!

The reason things turned out like this was all because of that top graduate swapping incident.

Li Er had regretted this matter countless times.

Unfortunately, the past cannot be undone!

Now it was brought up by Changle again, slapping his face hard.

It hurts!

It hurts to the heart!

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

He had long since let go of this matter.

He was even a little glad that he didn't become the top graduate of Great Tang.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to say that the founding emperor of Great Qin, the emperor of the ages, was originally the top graduate of Great Tang.

"Prime Minister Fang, Old Li, I just want you to pass a message to Li Er. Anyway, Great Tang doesn't need those scholars from humble backgrounds, so why not let them all come to participate in Great Qin's imperial examination!"

Crack!

Li Er clenched his fists, his knuckles popping.

Too bullying!

It wasn't that Li Er didn't want to use scholars from humble backgrounds; he had previously specifically asked Fang Xuanling to go to the Jiannan Road trading post and spend a lot of money to buy a large number of books.

However, the noble families were in power, and he had never had the opportunity to use those scholars without backgrounds on a large scale.

Qin Mu saw the difficulties of Great Tang and actually wanted to pick up this ready-made bargain?

Absolutely... not... possible!

Changle saw her father's angry look and kicked her feet happily.

"Brother-in-law, I guess the Great Tang Emperor will definitely agree. Anyway, they don't need them, and keeping them is just a waste of food, right?"

Qin Mu secretly praised that Changle, this little girl, was really clever.

"Whether Li Er agrees or not doesn't matter. Anyway, I have a way to let those scholars from humble backgrounds successfully come to Changancheng to participate in the imperial examination."

Li Er and Fang Xuanling were so angry they wanted to vomit blood.

It turns out he talked to them for a long time without any intention of asking for their help.

He was just having fun with them?

Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and Fang Xuanling understood the meaning in their eyes instantly.

Must stop it!

Cannot let the talents cultivated by Great Tang all benefit Great Qin!

Fang Xuanling even began to consider registering all those scholars from humble backgrounds who were slightly famous.

If necessary, send people to watch them strictly.

In short, they must not be allowed to participate in Great Qin's imperial examination!

But he was agreeing with Qin Mu on the surface, wanting to make Great Qin relax its vigilance.

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talent and will surely be able to recruit the people you want."

Qin Mu glanced at Fang Xuanling and knew what kind of ghost ideas he was having.

Want to keep an eye on those scholars from humble backgrounds?

No way!

Since Qin Mu said this, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

He just didn't say it.

"Prime Minister Fang, Old Li, after you return to Jin Ling, you must promote Great Qin's imperial examination more." Li Er and Fang Xuanling were silent.

Still want them to help promote it?

Keep dreaming!

After going back, block the news immediately! ===== CHAPTER 559 =====
