The Qin Dynasty has reached its current level, and the official class has been severely solidified.

The Hundred Schools of Disciples who used to rely on their personal abilities to surrender to the emperor no longer had any market.

It is even more impossible to recommend an official.

Since the execution of the ninth rank official position, the assessment and promotion of officials has gradually become the mainstream. No matter who it is, the talents recommended besides the emperor will not be directly assigned important positions and senior positions, and they all need to start from grassroots officials. This also controls the appearance of nepotism of family officials in disguise, giving officials of the Qin Dynasty a promotion system that can be abide by, and allowing many grassroots officials to see hope for promotion, rather than staying in one position for the rest of their lives as before.

The emperor's decision seemed to have been made temporarily, but it was still reserved. A Zhongqing became the chief officer of the Third-Chief Office, which was a disguised demotion. However, whether it was a demotion or not, the emperor's appointment still made the officials in the court really stir up for a few minutes before they slowly calmed down.

Even Chen Xu's mouth was wide open for a long time before he closed it. As for Chen Ping, he sat on the big chair, as if he was arched by a wild boar, his head was buzzing, and he could not hear the noise in the court at all.

"Secretary Chen, why don't you thank me now!" An official closest to Chen Ping was very pleased and used a tablet to wake Chen Ping up from the sluggishness.

"Oh, yes..." Chen Ping stood up in a hurry, rubbing his saliva and bowed deeply to the emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I am not etiquette. Today, I have awarded you an official title. I also hope that I will work harder in the future to take charge of the newspaper office for me, understand the people's sentiments and educate the people, and make greater contributions to the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty!" Qin Shihuang nodded with a smile.

"I must have lived up to your Majesty's expectations!" Chen Ping sat back excitedly.

Half an hour later, the court meeting ended, and soon the events of what happened in the court swept across Xianyang like a tornado. After the news reached the newspaper office, the noise of the entire newspaper office instantly resounded throughout the street. From the editor-in-chief to the ordinary proofreader, everyone hugged and cheered in the newspaper office with excitement.

Yesterday, when Chen Ping made the decision to donate 30 million yuan, from the editor-in-chief to the ordinary manager, everyone was confused and vomited blood with a heartache. After working hard for several years, he finally earned this little family fortune, but unexpectedly he was ruined in one day. However, when Chen Ping said that this was the Marquis’ meaning, everyone could only hide in the thatched cottage and snatch the wall with tears in his eyes.

The newspapers are all belonged to the Marquis. At that time, Fu Anqiu, a group of cultural gangsters such as Pang Que Jitong, followed the Marquis and worked hard and finally gave the Qin Metropolitan News its current status and scale. Although the salary and bonus are very high, given the embarrassing status of the newspapers, they all have only one job and have some small expectations. At present, this group of people is not short of money. Even an ordinary reporter in the newspaper is not short of money. He earns at least tens of thousands of yuan every year. It is definitely a wealthy family. The family has all the real estate, cars, horses and slaves. But after all, they are cultural people who pursue it, not thorough merchants. They hope that one day they can wear true tasteful official robes and become the bureaucrats and nobles of the Qin Dynasty that everyone envies, so that they will be more respectful and courteous from the common people.

However, this hope is very slim. If you want to become an official, you can only leave the newspaper office, but everyone is reluctant to leave the newspaper office.

This is a contradiction that cannot be obtained at the same time as the fish and bear's paw, which makes everyone very confused.

Not long after the newspaper was first established, after Zhao Gao fell, many of the government offices were empty. At that time, Chen Xu forced a few guys to be officials. Now, a few years have passed, these people are all in the government offices. They are all very good at drinking together on weekdays. The people in the newspaper always feel a little inferior. Without it, once there is too much money, it is actually not attractive. Looking back at this time, it seems that being an official is the right way.

But just when everyone felt that there was no hope of becoming an official in this life, the news today immediately stunned everyone.

The emperor actually promoted the newspaper office to the third-rank office, and even promoted all editors to officials according to the configuration of the third-rank office.

This is an unprecedented big deal.

As far as Chen Ping, there were more than 20 officials from the third rank to the ninth rank. In other words, almost all the veterans who founded the Daqin Metropolis Daily with Chen Xu would follow him and become regular officials of the Daqin from then on, and even the fifth rank or above could go to court to participate in government affairs.

"Tsk tsk!" After the scattering, Chen Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, was still smacking his tongue. Only the emperor could do this kind of voluminous official title in the world. Otherwise, Ji Tong Pang Que and others might take twenty or thirty years to get promoted to the fourth and fifth ranks, and they could not stay in the newspaper office. But unexpectedly, the emperor was so powerful that he not only had an official title, but also placed the newspaper office under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat, and was still under the control of Chen Xu.

Only Chen Xu himself experienced this trust and honor the deepest.

A few years later, Chen Xu finally got the emperor's unreserved support with his selfless dedication and efforts.

"Marty... Is Ping dreaming?" Chen Ping, who was in the same car as Chen Xu, sat next to him and was still half-daddled and did not fully wake up.

"Haha, you are so calm when you see that you are so calm?" Chen Xu couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Marquis is not a loss of composure, indeed... I did not expect that Pingyuan was just a poor man in Yangwu County. He had no family, had no food and was not covered in clothes, and his sister-in-law was not welcomed. If it weren't for the help of his brother, he would have lost his power, so he would never have thought that he would become a minister today..." Chen Ping answered excitedly.

"For you, the ministers are not the end, and your eyes should be wider. With your talents, it is not an exaggeration to be a marquis and ministers!"

"Ga~" Chen Ping was like a duck pinched his neck, his eyes bulged out in a large part, and he looked straight at Chen Xu and gasped hard.

"When you started with me, I said that you will definitely be in the court in the future. You are knowledgeable, like Huang Lao's skills, and are calm and moderate. Only then did this marquis feel at ease to hand over the newspaper office to you. But the newspaper office is now completely on the right track. It is already a bit in a bit of talent to continue staying in the newspaper office with your talents. I originally wanted to use the construction of the library to give you a high title, and then recommend you to serve in six ministries. After accumulating for several years, you may be able to serve as the head of the office office. But I didn't expect that you would write this policy of governing the country so flexibly. Your Majesty was so happy that he promoted the newspaper office to the office office, but he also made you the third rank chief. This is indeed the result that I did not expect, but this is good, and it will save you several years of training and accumulation. With your title of junior, you will be more than enough to serve as the head of the government office of the three provinces and six ministries in the future..."

"Marty, then... Then you said the day before yesterday that you had planned to donate money to build a library?" Chen Ping stuttered.

"I have indeed planned to build a library, and there are indeed arrangements for taking out the money earned by the newspaper over the years. This time, the fire broke out in Zhao Gao's house, which happened to allow me to get this large enough land, so all this went smoothly... When I said it, are you quite reluctant to let it go?" Chen Xu turned to look at Chen Ping and said with a smile.

"Yes, I felt extremely distressed at that time, but later I figured it out. Thinking of what the Marquis said, Ping was quite ashamed and had a feeling that he could write this strategy in one go, but he didn't expect that his Majesty would be so happy..."

"Money is not omnipotent, but money is absolutely impossible. Many famous scholars and sages have no way to serve the country, not because they have no talent, but because they have no chance. The Qin Dynasty is no longer the time when the seven countries were competing for power in the past. There are no chances to rely on recommendation and surrender to be an official. There are only two ways: one is military merits, and the other is contribution. The Qin Dynasty is now at the time of economic growth. The contribution is to let Your Majesty see the real thing, rather than just writing a boastful policy statement like before. Everyone can do it, but not everyone can take out these 30 million yuan. This is capital, and this is your determination to serve the relics of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, this hou once said that the wealth in the world should be taken from the people and used for the people..."

Chen Xu looked at the crowded crowds on the bustling streets outside the window, and was silent for a long time before continuing: "Every money earned by the newspaper was almost the contribution of the disciples of the Hundred Schools who were studying and literate all over the world. They had a strong desire to learn, and they also wanted to understand the trends of the Qin and the court through newspapers. They were always paying attention to the development of the Qin Dynasty. The Hou Benjun just collected them and then used them for the development of the Qin Dynasty. The library and the Capital University were an opportunity for the disciples of the Hundred Schools who could not make a name for themselves to enter the court in the future, a ladder to climb up..."

"The University of Beijing will be the cradle of the officials of the Qin Dynasty in the future, and all officials will be selected from it. Secretary Chen started from the Han Dynasty. When he knew the difficulty of promoting civilians to officials, now this Hou has promoted primary, middle school and university education across the country. In the future, the University of Beijing will be the opportunity for all Han Dynasty students in counties. As long as they can be admitted to the University of Beijing, they will surely achieve success. Only in this way can the bureaucracy of the Qin Dynasty not be controlled by the aristocratic families and continuously inject fresh blood from the bottom. In this way, the Qin Dynasty's court can maintain sufficient vitality and the Qin Dynasty can also develop healthily. Otherwise, the bureaucratic system of the Qin Dynasty will gradually become rigid, and a large number of children of the aristocratic families will be flooded in the officialdom, and the people and civilians will never have the opportunity to make progress..."

"I heard that Secretary Chen had great ambitions and it was fair to share the meat for his neighbors and was praised by his neighbors. At that time, you once said something, but do you still remember it?"

Chen Ping's eyes widened and looked at Chen Xu with horror. After a long time, he suddenly woke up and seemed to remember that Chen Xu's true identity was a disciple of the Immortal Family. Then he put away his extremely frightened expression and wiped his sweat on his forehead nodded: "The Marquis can still know the crazy words of Ping when he was young. Ping was indeed unaware of the world. He said that he would be a prime minister in the future and would be as competent as a person, and treat the people of the world equally..."

"Times change, I wonder if Secretary Chen's original intention is still there?" Chen Xu asked calmly.

"Marty..." Chen Ping hesitated and dared not speak.

"But it's okay, there's only you and me here!" Chen Xu waved his hand.

"Yes, my subordinates were born in a cold state. I always thought that everyone in the world could eat and wear a good meal and be fair. This idea has never been changed!"

"That's good. Today, Your Majesty will reward you with titles and officials. You should treat it as a new starting point and start. This is also the first step in your journey of achieving your original ambitions. I will be the prime minister in the future. I hope you will not forget that original intention!"

"Ping will never dare to forget!" Chen Ping bowed respectfully.

"After returning to the museum, carefully observe which position is suitable to take over the position of General Affairs Secretary of the newspaper. When the Beijing University is completed, I recommend you to go to the Beijing University to serve as the vice president. At that time, I hope that you will treat everyone equally regardless of the background of the students and do not lose your true intention for money, money, and external resources!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Ping will definitely live up to the Marquis' trust!" Chen Ping stood up excitedly.

The Capital University is the place where the Qin officials will be trained in the future. Being the president of the Capital University is equivalent to being the teacher of all officials in the world. In this era of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, spreading the teacher's ideas and remarks is almost the responsibility and obligation of the disciples.

"Marty... Then you... are you the president of the Beijing Normal University?" Chen Ping stammered and asked excitedly.

Chen Xu shook his head slightly: "This marquis' ambition is not in the court, not to mention that this marquis has been named Shangqing, appointed as the left prime minister, and has already become the most important minister. What I marquis thinks is just like your current policy. I hope that the Qin Dynasty can become a prosperous country with comprehensive development of morality, law, civilization and economy. By then, you will take over my position and realize your original intention!"

"Then Marquis, you...where are you going?"

"I will do what I like naturally. I won't talk about these things today, and I will go to the newspaper office to arrange it..."
