Chapter 111: 111

"Impossible. I don't believe it. You have to lie to me. Tell me the truth now."

Many intellectuals don't believe in what they see. Many people even hit their heads on the bulletin boards that didn't write their names.

It has been seven days since the imperial service entrance examinations. More than thirty thousand people took the exam. This is the largest Dazhou exam in history, and there are also ordinary citizens taking this exam.

Exam results were announced on the board in various locations throughout the city and published announcements in newspapers. By this exam, 613 people passed, which is a meager passing rate.

Many intellectuals buy newspapers to find their listings.

"Where is my name?" One of the intellectuals examined the front, top, and bottom entirely but did not see his name.

They do not believe that they did not pass the exam. Many people gathered to look at the score announcements on various boards and found that it did not have their own names. That means they failed the exam.

Many people cannot accept the truth until the state of self-harm. The hopes of restoring the intellectuals' dignity have now been lost.

Pan Zhou in his bookstore had a face flushed with shame. He threw the newspaper in anger because there was no name in the paper. He is a former Chancellor. Why fails the exam? Although the exam is a little difficult, he used a secret technique to mimic Lord Cong Qian's answer. Why can he fail the exam?

And there were still 613 people who passed the exam. Each of which was unfamiliar to Pan Zhou. As if the other party was not an intellectual.

Pan Zhou immediately shook off this thought because the exam was tough, even though he was struggling. Ordinary citizens will certainly never do this.

Cong Qian and Pan Zhou went to the Secretariat to ask to see anything wrong with their answer sheet.

"I came here to look at my answer sheet. There must be something wrong, for sure." Pan Zhou cried out in a fuss. Until the staff handed over the answer sheet. He shut his mouth. And when the officer explained why he had made so many mistakes, the score was lowered to the ground. Pan Zhou lowered his head in shame before hiding himself, fled back to his bookstore. While cursing Cong Qian, who had humiliated him like this.

All doubts were resolved. Intellectuals can only admit that they are ineffective and inappropriate for this regime. The Empire changed the way for the civil service examinations that they had never expected.

Even bribery cannot be done as before. Many intellectuals feel helpless but can only accept their fate.

"I will definitely pass it next year." Many intellectuals have not given up. They need to be able to adapt to this.

Many intellectuals buy books for students' primary and secondary courses to prepare for the next exam in the next year.

At the Study Room. Zhao Lingxin read the list of 613 people who passed this time.

"These people will become the main wheel of the empire in the future," Zhao Lingxin reads the list of each passing person. All of them are industrial workers.

These people all spend their free time at night after work. Study with the factory, which is a special education course prepared by the Ministry of Education. To raise people's literacy rate.

These individuals are incredibly diligent and patient. They spent more than a year of free time after work until they learned enough to take this exam.

"The education ministry's curriculum was excellent," said Zhao Lingxin, praising the policy. Which shows satisfactory results.

Over time, the people of the Empire will develop themselves even more. It's only been 1 year since the Education Act came into effect. The literacy rate of the people has also increased. Until it saw some results.

The 613 people who passed this exam were all from ordinary backgrounds, not intellectual. This proves that the exam uses this new test. The graduate group did not learn at all, even though it was only a high school exam.

If Zhao Ling Xin let this group of intellectuals, even the secondary exams have not passed and entered government service. In that case, the Empire must have had a great disaster.

All 613 people who passed the exam were spread across the Empire, taking on various local duties. To help lighten the workload of the agencies that are currently tight. And in the future, Zhao Lingxin will give the departments permission to open the exam for themselves. Quickly recruit talented people to serve in government service and solve the country's insufficient personnel.

"His Highness, the intellectual group, did not pass the exam. Even one person," said Qin Bo, he felt pity for intellectuals who acted like magicians, demanding many. In the end, when Zhao Lingxin gave them the opportunity, they failed and had to hide their faces, retreating in shame.

"But this problem is not over yet. There are many intellectual groups. If they are still unable to blend into the Empire, problems might arise," Zhao Lingxin said worriedly.

The intellectuals were very large and had great influence in the South. Zhao Lingxin could not kill hundreds of thousands of intellectuals. This time, they carried their disappointments back. This adds to the alienation in the Empire that is not accepted by the intellectuals. Most people admire business people. Making the status of the capitalist pop up.

Hence, Zhao Lingxin thought to compromise, giving part of the power to the group of graduates. Let them integrate into the imperial regime. Became an important driver of the country Moreover, this civil service exam undermined their confidence, prompting the intellectuals to open their minds to new science.

"Qin Bo," said Zhao Lingxin.

"I'm ready to receive orders," Qin Bo replied.

"Follow Pan Zhou and Cong Qian. They will represent the interests of the intellectuals," said Zhao Lingxin.

Not long after, Pan Zhou and Cong Qian arrived at the writing room. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Zhao Lingxin's face.

"Everyone, just relax. Let's talk." Zhao Lingxin started a conversation with these two famous intellectuals. Pan Zhou and Zhu Ge Qian are highly regarded intellectuals. Both of them were able to return to communication and persuade the scholars to reduce their opposition and genuinely integrated with the Empire.

The two heard that Zhao Lingxin was prepared to relax and not pressure the intellectuals any longer. The two of them burst into tears. Zhao Lingxin put pressure on the intellectuals extremely hard, barely ignoring the space for them to breathe. Even this job for the civil service entrance exam Zhao Lingxin did not refrain from destroying them.

For them, Zhao Lingxin was more than a cruel tyrant. Deceitful, stupid, foolish, ignorant. Of course, these words they did not dare to say.

"I will give you a position in Parliament." Zhao Lingxin decided to give them a piece of beautiful meat. Of course, he wants to create problems as well. Zhao Lingxin wanted the intellectuals to fight with the capitalists that they had no time to pay attention to other matters. And it makes an indirect problem for the capitalists in the council as well. The divide-and-rule strategy was what Zhao Lingxin had the most to use. Before, he split the capitalist into two to fight in the council. This time he fueled the fire once again by sending intellectuals to the prestigious council.

Capitalist and intellectual, two very different ideas. Like water and oil that don't have any way to go together. They're coming together in the parliament to create political colors again.

Zhao Lingxin delegated powerlessness to intellectuals. In exchange for peace and attracting intellectuals to support the emperor. This trade was only profitable and without loss. Let both the capitalists and intellectuals fight each other until their exhaustion.

This plan of Zhao Lingxin was to hit their head and pat their back. He completely destroyed the confidence of the intellectuals. With mourning, hopelessness, and shame, after that comforted and gave them a prestigious position. Buy the hearts of all intellectuals.

This plan was to shoot one to get a whole bunch of birds. Zhao Lingxin struggled with just one flick of his pen, signed an amendment to the constitution, adding 250 members of the House of Commons. A total of 500 people. This work is very comfortable. Zhao Lingxin will never refuse.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pan Zhou and Cong Qian hurriedly knelt down. This time His Majesty is extremely merciful. Willing to liberate us and not caring about the past While also giving them political positions.

Pan Zhou and Cong Qian were deeply grateful to the emperor. They were finally able to restore the honor of their intellectuals once again. They promised not to let the capitalists in the council take over this country.

The two did not realize that they had been trapped by Zhao Lingxin in a row. And they are about to become puppets in the council, serving the emperor faithfully. Pan Zhou and Cong Qian returned. They are prepared to announce this good news to all intellectuals. Because finally, in parliament, there will be intellectuals to sit in.

At that moment, Qin Bo came and informed Zhao Lingxin.

"His Highness, General Guo Ling, urgently requested a cabinet meeting."
