Chapter 159.2
The next day, the imperial examination system of Great Xia was posted for all to see.
This imperial examination system is excellent, very comprehensive, and eliminates all possibilities of cheating!
Its a blessing for us scholars!
The Emperor is truly wise to come up with such an examination system!
I think this system should be promoted throughout the world so that other nations might follow suit!
Thats right! It should be widely publicized!
With the enthusiastic promotion by the literati, this method quickly spread throughout the world.
Many Emperors of various nations were overjoyed upon seeing this system.
With this examination system in place, it would be possible to eliminate the likelihood of favoritism and corruption, making it convenient for the state to select and employ talented individuals.
It could also suppress the noble families, preventing them from becoming too dominant.
However, the faces of the noble families darkened.
Their noble familys relationship with the state is one of mutual reliance and mutual vigilance.
Once those Emperors learn of this method, they will surely take advantage of it. As a result, they will have far fewer opportunities for covert operations and thus fewer chances.
Over time, their influence in the court will significantly diminish.
Damn Great Xia, are they deliberately making things difficult for our noble families?
If one plan fails, they devise another.
Since you, Great Xia, have held the imperial examination and recruited talents, then we will secretly send our people there!
Not sending disciples from the noble families, lets send scholars with clean backgrounds!
There are quite a few scholars who have been secretly funded by our noble families!
I refuse to believe it. You can guard against the noble family disciples, but can you guard against everyone else?
Thus, a great number of scholars rushed to Great Xia.
Originally, it was estimated that about 20,000 people would participate in this imperial examination, which was already a considerable number, even for the dynasty that had never seen such a scale for the imperial examination.
But now, even though the registration period has not yet ended, the number of participants for this imperial examination has already exceeded 30,000.
Watching the continuous stream of applicants, the numbers kept on rising.
This was causing Li Linfu a great deal of worry.
The problem was that there werent enough venues. He hadnt prepared for over thirty thousand candidates to take the exam at the same time.
If the exams couldnt start on schedule, it would be a huge embarrassment.
First of all, enough cement needs to be produced. Without sufficient cement, you cant think about building.
For many countries, just the issue of cement is already a stumbling block.
The production of cement requires iron slag, limestone, coal, and so on, which are all extremely important resources, and they are often distributed in various places. Transporting them to produce cement incurs a very high cost.
Unlike Lin Beifan, these resources are all gathered together, so the cost is directly saved.
Secondly, workers need to be recruited to build houses. At least a few thousand are needed. Gathering thousands of workers to build an examination venue is not an easy task.
Unlike Lin Beifan, who has an abundance of workers, a single command is enough to summon them.
Thirdly, with so many people, food and wages also become a problem.
If you dont let people eat their fill and dont pay them, who would be willing to work for you?
This is yet another huge expense!
Unlike Lin Beifan, who usually keeps these workers on hand, ready to be called upon when needed without any extra expenditure.
Thus, for other countries, such a project is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly!
Without more than half a year, its simply impossible to build.
Only Great Xia, with the right timing, location, and people, has managed to construct a massive examination venue in just a short week, building it quickly and well, with astonishing efficiency.
Visionary scholars witnessing this scene have said, Great Xia has tremendous potential and the stature of an empire!
They are even more resolved to stay, take the examinations, achieve official status, and serve as officials in Great Xia.
The great noble families were utterly frustrated.
They had thought that by sending so many people over, they would make Great Xia the laughingstock in front of the whole world. They didnt expect it to turn into an opportunity for them to showcase themselves.
This time, youve slipped through again, damn it!
Dont worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future!
Our people have already infiltrated the imperial examination, I refuse to believe he can root everyone out!
Lets wait and see!
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Great Xia imperial examination arrived.
