Chapter 654: Abolish the imperial examination system!
When civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but look forward to it, thinking about what this big thing was.
The smile on Ying Chang's face quickly disappeared, and he looked at the ministers with an extremely serious expression and said, "In the past, the imperial court took officials from the imperial examination system. Now, the imperial court can rely on the academic system to obtain officials. From the current perspective, the apprenticeship system is more flexible and extensive than the imperial examination system!"
"The imperial examination system can only select excellent civil servants and officials for the Qin Dynasty, but cannot bring talents from all walks of life to the Qin Dynasty. However, the school system can be used. All industries and school system can be cultivated, which greatly stimulates the development of the empire and ensures that the empire has a good development!"
"So I decided to abolish the imperial examination system and implement the school system with all my might!"
When the school was established, Ying Chang had the idea of abolishing the imperial examination system, but he had not seen the effect of the school system at that time. Now, he has seen it, and all civil and military officials have also seen it. It is time to abolish the imperial examination system.
Ying Chang made great determination to abolish the imperial examination system and hesitated for a long time. After all, the imperial examination system has a history of thousands of years. Once it is abolished, it will shock the world!
"Abolishing the imperial examination system and fully implementing the school system will be a new era. I will support the abolition of the imperial examination system!" Zhang Feizi shouted with a firm expression.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
A stone caused a thousand waves. In the blink of an eye, officials from the Left Prime Minister's Office and officials from the Zhongshu Academy came forward to discuss and supported the abolition of the imperial examination system!
The Minister of Rites Kong Wen walked out of the queue, bent down with a respectful expression and saluted: "Your Majesty, after the imperial examination system is abolished, how should the officials responsible for the imperial examination be allocated?"
The Ministry of Rites has a special department to host the imperial examination. Now that the imperial examination system is abolished, how to allocate these officials is a problem.
"Everyone is transferred to Zhongshu Academy for work!" Ying Changfu said without thinking.
"I understand!" Kong Wenzuo responded and then retreated back to his position.
The hall was silent for a while, and no minister continued to stand up for support or objection. Ying Chang said, and asked, "Do you guys have no objection?"
......The audience was silent!
"Since that's the case, the imperial examination system will be abolished from now on!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor!!"
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!!" All the civil and military officials bent down and shouted loudly!
[Historical records of later generations: On the first day of the first lunar month of the 21st year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Holy Qin Emperor abolished the imperial examination system. This represents that the imperial examination system that had been passed down for thousands of years was completely withdrawn from the historical stage of the Great Qin Empire, and a new era is coming!]
"If you have something to say, you will leave the court!" Pei Ji shouted to the ministers with a solemn expression!
Yang Ze, the Minister of War, stepped out of the queue, bent down to Ying Chang with awe and wrote a report: "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to do!"
"Accepted!"
"Reply to Your Majesty, as of December 30, the 20th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, there were 600,000 soldiers serving in the reserve camp nationwide and 200,000 retired soldiers. The Ministry of War is preparing to fully implement the reserve camp system to the three states outside the pass and the three states outside the pass within this year!"
"Originally, our Qin Dynasty had 490,000 conventional troops, but after the battle against Jin Dynasty, our Qin Dynasty had only 470,000 conventional troops, of which the capital camp accounted for 30,000, the Great Wall camp accounted for 80,000, the Jinbei camp accounted for 40,000, the Yanxi North camp accounted for 50,000, the Yanbei camp accounted for 50,000, the Wujin camp accounted for 70,000, the Nanguan camp accounted for 70,000, the Yanshui Pass camp accounted for 30,000, and the Tankou Pass accounted for 50,000!" Yang Ze informed Ying Chang of the latest number of reserve camps and the national soldiers.
After Yang Ze finished speaking, Shangyang Hou Du Changjing immediately walked out of the military officer ranks, bent down with a solemn and respectful expression to compile the report: "Your Majesty, now our Great Qin territory is vast, and the original troops are no longer enough to station in various places. I suggest expanding the troops by one million to enhance our Great Qin army!"
The larger the territory, the less troops are.
It is easy to fight, but difficult to stay!
When he heard Du Changjing's proposal to expand his army, Zhao Hua, Luo Xing and Ma Dadan were shocked!
"I will consider the matter of expanding the army. After a few days, I will give you an answer!" Ying Chang said calmly.
Du Changjing nodded, showing his understanding, and then quickly retreated to the station.
After Du Changjing retreated to his position, the right prime minister Chang Zifei stepped forward and took a small step. At the same time, he reached out and took out a memorial from his sleeve, and then served it with both hands. Seeing this, Pei Ji immediately stepped down from the platform, took the memorial from Chang Zifei's hand with both hands, turned around and walked up to the platform, and placed the memorial on the imperial desk for Ying Chang to watch.
Ying Chang picked up the memorial on the imperial desk and spread his hands to read it. The content of the memorial is as follows:
【The annual budget for the 21st year of the Holy Qin Dynasty】
[Ministry of War: The Ordnance Department budget is 12 million taels of silver; the army budget is 12 million taels of silver and 5 million stones of grain; the reserve battalion budget is 10 million taels of silver and 8 million stones of grain; the pension and reward budget for the first battle against Shanxi is 2 million taels of silver; the Ministry of War daily expenditure budget is 300,000 taels of silver!]
[Ministry of Rites: The budget for the enthronement ceremony was 30,000 taels of silver; the budget for the daily expenditure of Rites was 100,000 taels of silver!]
[Ministry of Revenue: The three prefectures outside the pass need 10 million stones of grain to maintain the survival of herdsmen. The annual expenditure of governments in various places in the Qin Empire, as well as salaries of officials from various places, and the budget for officials from the court is 7 million taels of silver, and the budget for daily expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue is 250,000 taels of silver!]
[Ministry of Works: The Ministry of Works' daily expenditure budget is 200,000 taels of silver!]
[Ministry of Personnel: The Ministry of Personnel’s daily expenditure budget is 200,000 taels of silver!]
[Zhongshu Academy: The three states in the pass, and the three states outside the pass, fully implement the school system, and a large number of schools are required, with a budget of 15 million taels of silver!]
[The total annual fiscal budget of the 21st year of the Great Qin Empire: 59,080,000 taels of silver, 23 million stones of grain!]
Because the preparation camp is preparing to fully implement the reserve camp system this year, the budget has increased several times, and the Zhongshu Academy has also been preparing to fully implement the school system this year, the budget has also increased several times!
"Report to Your Majesty, this budget memorial was calculated overnight yesterday, so I did not count the budget for expanding the city and migrating population just now. However, Mr. Li has already given a rough budget and just added it. After adding it, the total budget this year should be 100 million taels of silver and 23 million stones of grain!" Chang Zifei wrote a solemn report.
Chapter completed!
