Many of the people around him were stunned when they heard this. This was because the recruitment was not very useful. After all, many of the people were illiterate and were not scholars at all. Therefore, they did not have the opportunity to participate.
The reaction of the people was not great.
No one said anything.
As soon as Du Qi saw the situation around him, he knew the reason for this. It was because many of the people were illiterate and thought that they had no chance.
Du Qi was prepared for this.
Du Qi said again in a loud voice, "Regarding the recruitment, I want to explain it in detail so that everyone can understand. This so-called 'scholar' is not a scholar in the traditional sense. "
"For example, those who are good at forging weapons can be called scholars; those who are good at farming to increase the harvest can be called scholars; those who can recognize the signs of the sky and predict the weather can be called scholars; those who are good at manufacturing can be called scholars …"
"In short, those who have a skill and are very good in a certain field have a chance."
"This is the original intention of the recruitment."
"Of course, I am looking forward to those who are talented and capable."
Du Qi spoke with fervor and assurance, "This Prince opened the entrance exam to recruit these people to enrich the talents in the Prince's Mansion. Therefore, even if you are illiterate, you still have a chance. Everything depends on the individual's ability, and talent is the only thing that matters.
Wow!!
Countless people around him began to talk excitedly. Originally, Du Qi's words did not have much reaction. Not many people said anything. At this moment, many people were excited.
Because they saw an opportunity.
It did not matter if one was illiterate. As long as one had a skill, there was a chance. For the ordinary people, if they could work in the prince's mansion, they would reach the sky in a single bound.
It was a real success.
Some of the people even shouted. Some people asked Du Qi if they could be recruited by Du Qi, and if they could work in the prince's mansion.
Du Qi raised his hand and the people stopped talking. Many pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi.
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Fellow villagers, there will be a preliminary selection regarding the admission of scholars. Therefore, this Prince will choose an open area and arrange for someone to check and register your situation. "
"If there's anything you're good at, you can go and register. The person in charge of the review will conduct a preliminary selection. After the selection is over, the final selection will be conducted to choose the most capable person to work in the Prince's Mansion. "
"No matter what profession you are in, as long as you are talented, capable, and have a skill, even if you are illiterate, you will be put in an important position. Therefore, you don't have to be anxious. Just wait for the news from the authorities. "
Du Qi spoke unhurriedly.
However, he knew that the interest of the people had been piqued, and the hearts of the people were beginning to lean towards him.
When the people heard this, they hurriedly nodded their heads.
Their hearts were filled with joy.
His impression of Du Qi was rising. Each and every one of the people was grateful for Du Qi's wisdom, as well as Du Qi's courtesy to the wise, and they were incomparably supportive of Du Qi.
This was the benefit of Du Qi's words.
After the people stopped talking, Du Qi paused for a while and said again, "In addition to the third thing, there is a fourth thing."
"Just now, this Prince mentioned the admission of scholars. Many of you think that it is very difficult to get the admission of scholars. You are illiterate, and many of your children are illiterate as well."
"I will give you a chance."
"This Prince will start to build academies in Yizhou, starting from Yiwu County, Nashi County, and Rouyuan County, so that the children can enter the academies to study. This will give them a chance to become literate and get rid of their current status."
"Studying is an opportunity for the poor."
"If you don't have a rich family background and no family heirloom, you can only change your fate by studying."
"Only by studying can you change your fate."
Du Qi's eyes were sharp as he explained the fourth arrangement. He said again, "Of course, you can rest assured that the cost of studying in the academies will not be expensive. Ordinary families can afford it. This is my guarantee. "
After hearing this, the people were even more excited.
For ordinary people, there was only a glimmer of opportunity in troubled times or when they were appreciated by nobles. However, this sort of situation was extremely rare, and close to impossible.
The vast majority of people would be ordinary farmers for their entire lives. For generations to come, they would be farmers. It was extremely difficult to change their fate. Now, Du Qi had given them a chance.
In fact, this was also the benefit of the Western Region.
The aristocratic families were all in the Central Plains.
Even though the aristocratic families were suppressed in the Central Plains, in fact, their power was still deeply entrenched in the local areas and penetrated into all aspects.
To promote the imperial examination was not something that could be done overnight. It was still difficult to change the world's situation.
This was a problem that had existed for hundreds of years.
However, this did not exist in the Western Region. Even though there were many big families and many big merchants in the Western Region, the rich families of the Western Region were not like the aristocratic families of the Central Plains. Therefore, Du Qi had full confidence in his heart. Moreover, the people also listened to Du Qi's words.
Countless people cheered endlessly.
"Long live Ping Xi Wang!"
In the crowd, some people suddenly shouted.
"Long live Ping Xi Wang!"
"Long live Ping Xi Wang!"
… …
More and more people shouted, and their voices soared to the sky. Because more and more people, after hearing Du Qi's words, were grateful to Du Qi from the bottom of their hearts. Not only because Du Qi reduced taxes, but also because Du Qi gave their children a chance to change their fate. He gave them a chance to change their fate.
In the cheers of the people, there were even people who knelt down and directly kowtowed to Du Qi to thank him.
With the first one, there were others who followed suit.
One by one, the people knelt down like waves of wheat. The surrounding crowd knelt down to thank Du Qi. Accompanied by the shouts and the excited emotions of the people, the scene seemed to be boiling with excitement.
When Luo Yansheng saw this scene, his heart was filled with emotion.
He had been in Yiwu City all his life.
Even since he came to power, he had been governing the place and giving the people preferential treatment so that they could live a good life. Although the people were quite supportive of Luo Yansheng, compared to the support they had for Du Qi now, it was simply dwarfed.
It was completely incomparable.
Of course, Luo Yansheng also knew that only Du Qi had this capital.
Even if Luo Yansheng knew Du Qi's plan, even if he wanted to do things according to Du Qi's plan, Luo Yansheng did not have the foundation and courage. In other words, only Du Qi, who had sufficient financial resources and courage, could accomplish things.
Kun Mi, who was being escorted in the rear, saw this scene.
Kun Mi's eyes were full of shock.
It was too terrifying!
It was Du Qi's first time in Yiwu City, and he had only arrived in Yiwu City for a short period of time, not even fifteen minutes. However, within a quarter of an hour, Du Qi had conquered everyone, causing all of the commoners to support Du Qi.
Such a method was really powerful.
It could be said that he could summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.
For the first time, Kun Mi's heart was filled with regret. How did he provoke such a monster? If he had known, he would never have attacked Du Qi's camp.
And there was one more person in the kneeling crowd.
That was Zapado.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to kneel. All the people around him were kneeling, so he did not dare to not kneel. Otherwise, if Du Qi found out that something was wrong, it would not be good. Zapado's heart was even more terrified.
It was too scary.
Du Qi was not old, but his methods were like that of an old fox. Even an old fox could not compare to Du Qi's monstrous eloquence. With just a few words, Du Qi had subdued all the people.
Of course, Zapado also knew that although Du Qi had eloquence just now, Du Qi's arrangements had to be carried out, because the people would definitely be watching. If Du Qi did not act according to the plan, he would definitely lose the people's will.
After Du Qi won the people's hearts, it was impossible for him to lose them again.
At this time, Zapado's heart suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Du Qi's methods were really powerful. He was still in great danger if he stayed in the county.
