Ying Zheng glanced at Li Shui and said helplessly: "I'm asking for your opinion on the content of the memorial, not on the writing materials."

This was Li Shui. If it had been anyone else, Ying Zheng would have dragged him out and beaten him up.

Li Shui felt secretly happy in his heart, feeling that he had dragged down the bottom line in Ying Zheng's heart by another meter. From now on, he didn't know whether others would be able to do it. Anyway, he himself would be fine if he made such a harmless joke in front of Ying Zheng.

.

Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "I see. I do have some opinions on the content of this memorial."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Let's talk and listen."

Li Shui said: "I believe that these powerful people must move. And they must do so urgently, quickly and with great severity."

Li Si was a little speechless and thought: "Isn't this my opinion?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shui said again: "I thought that our country in the Qin Dynasty upholds the law and cannot move the rich and powerful without any reason. If this happens, I am afraid that the people in the world will not accept it."

Now Chunyu Yue was speechless.

Wang Wan next to him almost laughed out loud: Huaiguzi likes to plagiarize other people's ideas. The last time the ministers submitted a letter on how to govern the country and secure the country, he copied everything they said. That was fine, but today

Li Si and Chun Yuyue's views were completely opposite, and he could copy them accurately. This person is really... rare in ancient and modern times.

Li Xin was looking around. He wanted to leave here. He was afraid that others would associate Li Shui with him. After all... it was too embarrassing.

Ying Zheng was also a little helpless and said to Li Shui: "That's all, you are from the immortal world. I'm afraid you don't understand the affairs of the human world. It's a bit difficult for me to ask you for advice."

Li Shui said in confusion: "What? Is what I said wrong? What I said is obviously the same as Lord Tingwei and Dr. Chunyu."

Now Wang Wan couldn't bear it anymore and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Huai also knows that what you said is exactly the same as what others said. But has Mr. Huai ever thought about how these two opinions can be put together when they are completely opposite?

Woolen cloth?"

Li Shui looked at Wang Wan in confusion: "Completely opposite? Where is the opposite? One says to move as soon as possible, and the other says not to move by force. Is this a conflict? Is it a contradiction? Doesn't it mean that Da Qin has nothing but forced orders?

Is there any way?"

Wang Wan was a little speechless and said: "Besides forcing people to move, what other options are there? Those powerful people are so entrenched in the local area, how can they be willing to leave their homeland?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? In half a year, the imperial examination will be held. Oh, now there is not half a year, there are still four months."

Wang Wan said: "Master Huai's thinking is really unconstrained. Just now he was clearly talking about migrating wealthy people, why did it suddenly become an imperial examination?"

Li Shui rolled his eyes and said: "I suggest that the imperial examination should be based on a percentage as a full score. Scores will be based on the candidates' answers. Finally, the best will be admitted based on the score. How about?"

Ying Zheng and the court officials both nodded. In fact, this is easy to accept. It is just a matter of converting the levels of A, B, C, and D into points.

No one cares about these trivial details.

Li Shui then said: "Since your Majesty agrees, I would like to make the second suggestion. I request your Majesty to issue an edict. All wealthy people who are willing to move to Xianyang and their children will receive an additional thirty points for taking the imperial examination. And only thirty points will be added.

Only this year.”

As soon as these words came out, the people around him immediately said: "No, absolutely no."

Chunyu Yue said: "In this case, where is the fairness?"

Li Si said: "Aren't the sons of the rich and powerful going to occupy the court? Who will have the final say in the court in the future?"

Wang Wan said: "I'm afraid that the civil and military officials in Xianyang City are unwilling to agree."

Li Shui chuckled: "You adults attach so much importance to extra points, those powerful people naturally feel that this opportunity is extremely precious. Guess...are they willing to join the court and be a minister? Or are they willing to be a local emperor in the countryside?"

"I can guarantee that after this edict is issued, the powerful and powerful people in the world will rush to bring their families and enter Xianyang. After all, if you can become an official just by moving, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Ying Zheng said: "However, after they enter Xianyang, do they really want to add points? Once they add points, there will be many hidden dangers. How can this be used to quench thirst by drinking poison?"

Li Shui bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the three adults have just raised several questions. Now I will answer them one by one."

"As for the question of fairness and unfairness, I would like to ask Dr. Chunyu. It takes ten and a half days for the imperial examination edict to be sent from Xianyang to spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the children of Xianyang's powerful people were already learning practical strategies. This

Is it fair? The rich and powerful children come all the way to take the exam, working hard on the journey, eating and sleeping in the open air. But the powerful people in Xianyang wait for work in leisure, is this fair?"

Chunyu Yue was speechless. After thinking about it, he felt that what Li Shui said was quite reasonable, so he said, "I admire the idea of ​​banishing immortals."

After persuading Chunyu Yue, Li Shui said to Li Si: "Just now, Lord Tingwei said that wealthy children will occupy the court. This is a bit unfounded."

"When a scholar is selected through the imperial examination, will he immediately become a minister? No. He must first be sent to various places to study and become familiar with government affairs. If he passes the probation, he will be granted an official position. When we select scholars, we will be generous and confer officials.

Isn’t it enough to come out strictly at the right time?”

"What's more, the extra points are only for this year. How many people can be admitted to the imperial examination? It's just a drop in the ocean and it won't disturb the overall situation."

Li Si was also speechless. After a long time, he bowed his hand to Li Shui and said, "I admire the banishment of immortals for their careful consideration."

Li Shui looked at Wang Wan again and said with a smile: "As for the Xianyang courtiers who are disobedient, which courtier dares to disobey? How dare they make irresponsible remarks on His Majesty's edict? Except for a few adults present. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I

Who is Huaiguzi afraid of? As long as His Majesty gives the order, I will take the death-free gold medal and cooperate with my best friend Mr. Zhao Teng to convince them one by one."

Wang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say: "The banishment of immortals is both strategic and courageous. I am willing to be defeated."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

He felt that Li Shui's words were a bit vulgar, but they made sense. This extra point was really good. Giving people benefits will make them more likely to follow suit. This is more effective than using force.

So Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, then we will follow Huai Guzi's strategy."

Li Shui said again: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing."

Ying Zheng asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Shui lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, are there many memorials against the emigration of wealthy people?"

Ying Zheng said: "It's just a dozen ways."

Li Shui asked again: "Is it...mostly played by county governors and magistrates?"

Ying Zheng's expression became a little solemn.

Li Shui asked again: "Are they the governors and magistrates outside Hangu Pass? Most of them are from Chu area?"

Ying Zheng's expression changed: "How did you know?"

Li Shui sighed: "I suddenly thought that these county governors and magistrates may have become one with the local powerful people. Your Majesty wants to move the rich and powerful. These local officials, as the spokesperson of the powerful people, will naturally write a letter to object."

As soon as this statement came out, not only Ying Zheng but also other court officials were a little shocked.

Chunyu Yue and others looked at Li Shui, and after a long time, they all said: "The banished immortal has a keen mind, and I can't wait."

This time the compliment seemed much more sincere.

Ying Zheng said: "Huai Guzi is my minister."

Li Shui was very excited after hearing this, and waited silently. However... Ying Zheng had no more words to say, and sent them away without mentioning any rewards.

The courtiers left Ying Zheng's study and were walking out of the palace. Li Shui suddenly said loudly: "Oh, brother Li, after listening to Mr. Li Si's speech today, I realized that I am really stupid. I still have a lot to do.

study."

Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Are you...seriously?"

Li Shui sighed again: "Apart from Mr. Li Si, Dr. Chunyu is also a genius. The suggestions put forward by Dr. Chunyu are really shocking in the past and today, and can stabilize the country. Compared with it, I, Huaiguzi, alas...

…How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and moon?”

Li Xin hesitated: "Aren't you being sarcastic?"

Li Shui added: "Besides that, Master Wang Wan is also a good minister through the ages. These three masters are the pillars of our Qin Dynasty. I admire, admire, admire you endlessly. I, Huai Guzi, am ashamed of myself. I am very ashamed."

Li Xin scratched his head: "Brother Huai...is he sick?"

Li Shui patted his shoulder again: "The only thing that can comfort me is you, Brother Li. Every time I see you, I feel much better. After all... With your intelligence, you can be shameless.

Standing in the court, why can't I?"

Li Xin's eyes widened: "Brother Huai, you are insulting me."

Li Xin reached out to grab Li Shui's neck, but Li Shui was on guard and ran towards the alchemy room like a rabbit.

Li Xin was a martial artist with a strong body. How could he not be able to outrun Li Shui? After a moment, he caught Li Shui.

Li Shui shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight. Brother Li, I'm here to save you."

Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, you are kidding me."

Li Shui said: "Half a day, give me half a day, you will definitely thank me."

Li Xin geared up and said, "Okay. I'll give you half a day. After half a day, I'll give Brother Huai some old punches."

Li Shui broke away from Li Xin and felt happy in his heart: "Give me an old fist? You think so well. I'll just sleep with Mr. Fu Yao today."

Li Shui sent Li Xin away and walked slowly to Weiyang's palace. In the morning, the eunuch said that Weiyang was ill and had to go and see him.

Li Xin and Li Shui ran away. The few remaining veterans slowly walked towards the palace gate. They still don't understand what Li Shui was doing. How could he praise them so well? And in such a shameless and disgusting way.

words of praise.

Things are very abnormal, which makes people very uneasy.

Just when the courtiers were getting into the carriage uneasily, a young eunuch had already run out and announced the decree to everyone. The decree was about extra points in the imperial examination.

As soon as this decree came out, the dignitaries in Xianyang were in an uproar. Then they turned their anger towards the person who made the suggestion.

They soon found out that before His Majesty issued the decree, he had summoned five people: Wang Wan, Li Si, Chun Yuyue, Li Xin, and Huai Guzi.

After the summons, Huaiguzi looked convinced and praised Wang Wan, Li Si and Chunyu Yue repeatedly.

In this way, it is obvious who is the person who proposed the extra points strategy.
