Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 767 Chapter 313: All Officials Astounded! Grand Implementation of National Policies! Appointment of Jiuzhou State Governors! (Part 3)

Let the corrupt officials across the world quiver in terror.

"Very well."

"Feng'er."

"Time to discuss the key matter."

An inexplicable anticipation lit up Ying Zheng's smiling face.

Evidently,

he eagerly awaited the stunned looks on the ministers' faces.

"Chen Ping."

Zhao Feng grinned.

"Present it and hand it out to the officials."

Chen Ping promptly called out beyond the hall.

The ministers observed with keen curiosity.

The very next instant,

over a dozen Imperial Guards entered, bearing multiple hefty chests.

Beneath the intrigued stares of the Hundred Officials, the guards unlatched the chests, exposing neatly bound volumes of books within.

"What's this?"

Astonishment filled the ministers' eyes.

The Imperial Guards proceeded to grab the books and pass them among the officials.

Han Fei and the other key ministers, receiving theirs first, were inevitably stunned.

"This... what could it be? Not silk, not a memorial, yet covered in writing?"

"It's so incredibly light!" Yu Liao burst out.

"This material is known as paper, and the bound versions are paper books." Chen Ping explained, beaming.

"Yet all these books bear identical text? Was one person copying them endlessly?" Han Fei quickly spotted that his book matched Li Si's perfectly in script, obviously from a single hand.

"These letters aren't hand-copied; they're produced via movable type printing." Chen Ping replied with evident pride.

"Movable type printing? Printing?"

"Paper books?"

The ministers stared in utter disbelief.

This sight clearly shattered their long-held assumptions.

It was utterly unprecedented.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is a heavenly Sage granted to Qin."

"He invented paper, and also devised movable type printing."

"A single sheet holds hundreds of characters, portable and easy. One paper page surpasses the content of more than a hundred bamboo slips."

"Furthermore,"

"Book reproduction and legal documentation need no more handwriting; movable type printing can handle it all."

"My fellow officials, all so capable, must grasp what these two inventions mean for Qin." Chen Ping declared fervently.

The whole court buzzed with shock as they leafed through their books.

Gazes converged on Zhao Feng.

"The Crown Prince is a Sage."

"We officials bow in deep reverence."

"With His Majesty and the Crown Prince, Qin shall thrive eternally."

Civil and military officials roared together.

How could they fail to comprehend the profound impact of paper and movable type printing?

This would utterly transform Qin's cultural legacy.

"My ministers."

"Do you grasp the Crown Prince's vital role for our Qin now?"

"These represent just minor feats from the Crown Prince." Ying Zheng chuckled with immense pride.

Possessing such a talented son filled Ying Zheng with boundless joy.

"Your Majesty is wise."

All civil and military officials chorused in agreement.

"I've conferred with my father."

"Qin's populace exceeds eighty million."

"Yet fewer than a million possess literacy."

"How can my noble Huaxia people endure this?"

"I introduce paper and movable type printing to educate Qin's masses." Zhao Feng stated serenely.

"Producing bound books to disseminate widely, harnessing state resources for academies, this will surely illuminate the world's people." Han Fei proclaimed with fervor.

"Chancellor Han truly stands as Qin's elite minister; he divines my very thoughts." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

His eyes then swept over the assembled officials.

"My father and I have reached accord."

"Post the four national policies' rollout, academies shall rise across the land."

"Begin by organizing into Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties."

"In Qin's Nine Provinces, from prefectural seats onward, set up County School Palaces; in cities, erect County School Palaces, and in provinces, found State Academies."

"County School Palaces focus on character recognition and basic reading."

"County School Palaces impart military tactics and governance essentials."

"State Academies delve into national stability and peace-keeping arts."

"Above State Academy, establish a Capital City Academy in Xianyang to examine students from Nine Provinces of Qin. Those who pass the examination can enter the court to become officials." To the Hundred Officials, Zhao Feng openly proclaimed the grand strategy for Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties, including the academy blueprint he had previously settled with his father.

After hearing this,

shock and terror appeared on every minister's face.

Simply from Zhao Feng's declaration, they detected the immense ambition in his voice, paired with his bold vision to transform the Great Qin Divine Land.

In that instant,

every official recalled Zhao Feng's words from his debut in court as Crown Prince.

"Be the heart of Heaven and Earth, establish the destiny for living people, continue the learning of the sages, and open peace for all generations."

These words from Zhao Feng were far from empty chatter.

They represented his genuine resolve to put into action.

Educate the masses across the land.

How awe-inspiring!

How colossal!

"Your Majesty is wise."

"The Crown Prince is wise."

Civil and military officials chorused their praise together.

A policy so advantageous to the realm of Qin—no one would dare to challenge it.

"Nine Provinces have been established, set by our Huaxia's Nine Tripod Cauldrons."

"The Thirty-Six Counties of Qin have been established."

"Now."

"The governance of Nine Provinces has a chief officer, who should be appointed as State Governor, overseeing a state's administration." With commanding authority, Ying Zheng announced.

His eyes swept over the assembly.

Names were called out one after another by Ying Zheng.

"Yan Bing, appointed as State Governor of Yang Province, given the seal of State Governor, overseeing affairs of Yang Province, commanding all prefectural governors of Yang Province."

"Cai Ci, appointed as State Governor of Jing State, given the seal of State Governor, overseeing affairs of Jing State..."

"Yao Jia, appointed as State Governor of Xuzhou..."

"Meng Yi, appointed as State Governor of Yu State..."

"Feng Jie, appointed as State Governor of Yong State..."

"Fusu, appointed as State Governor of Qingzhou..."

"Feng Shuang, appointed as State Governor of Ji State..."

"Li You, appointed as State Governor of Gunzhou..."

"Lv Wen, appointed as State Governor of Liang State..."

As Ying Zheng declared,

excluding Fusu,

eight ministers in the court advanced forward, lined up, and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng.

"State Governors of Nine Provinces are directly appointed by I and the Crown Prince."

"State Governors oversee the administration of a state, manage government and civilian affairs, and enforce laws."

"This is a heavy responsibility, a serious duty."

"I hope you will not disappoint I and the Crown Prince."

Sternly, Ying Zheng fixed his gaze on the eight ministers standing before him.
