I have a supernatural power in my understanding. I built an immortal martial arts empire in the Thre

The joking voice made all the generals present show respect.

They bowed and knelt on the ground: "Greetings, my lord."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Why are you all so polite after going out one by one?"

"Why do you have to kneel down to say hello?"

Zhao Yun said solemnly: "The world has been unified, and a brand new empire is about to be established. My lord is the ruler of all people and the true son of the dragon. How can we be so presumptuous as before?"

"After all, there is a hierarchy between the monarch and his subjects."

The others also nodded: "We are also doing this for the dignity of our lord. If we don't have awe in our hearts, others will think that we are proud of our achievements and don't take our lord seriously."

"They don't know the Lord's mercy, and it's our fault if they imagine it."

Ye Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Your remarks really comfort me."

"It looks like today will go smoothly."

"There is a fighting spirit between you and me, as well as a master-servant relationship. It should be more natural, but the establishment of an empire must have rules, and we cannot do it according to our own temperament."

"Even the emperor cannot do that, otherwise it will cause chaos in the world."

"When Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he was so ambitious and unified the world for the first time. He thought he could be above all things in the world and that the position of emperor could be passed down for generations."

"But it was only after his death that the entire empire suddenly fell apart and collapsed."

"There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is that the people only have awe for him, rather than genuine support for him."

"If you want the people to support you, you have to let them get some practical benefits."

"For example, redistribute the land so that they can own their own land. This way, they will have food and drink, and they will be grateful to the court and will protect this new empire from the bottom of their hearts."

"Another example is the imperial examination system."

"Have any of you ever known about these things?"

The generals below all had confusion in their eyes. They scratched their heads and looked at each other.

Although they had heard of the imperial examination system and had personally taken action to kill many aristocratic families who opposed the imperial examination system, they really did not understand why the imperial examination system was established.

Only Zhang He and Zhao Yun looked at Xi Zhicai with shock in their eyes.

Because they had Xi Zhicai's advice, they were able to understand Ye Feng's hidden meaning.

But he shook his head expressionlessly.

"Please let me know, my lord."

Ye Feng looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong standing beside him: "You two should explain this to our generals!"

Pang Tong stepped forward, bowed to the generals, and said seriously: "The imperial examination system is actually a selection system."

"Gather all the students in the world together, let them compete with each other, and the fittest will survive."

"These selected students can serve as officials in the imperial court."

"This is completely different from the previous selection system for filial and honest officials, as well as the previous selection system for princes, officials, and scholars."

"To put it simply, I am powerful and hold a high position in the government, but if my child is a fool, he cannot inherit the position in the court." "This will provide the people of the world with a path to advancement and give them the opportunity to change the fate of their family."

"It can also allow the blood in the court to flow regularly, so that it won't become too rigid."

Many people present had a different kind of light in their eyes.

They all understood what this meant.

They don't care about how to select talents or even the fate of those families, but they are naturally worried about how to arrange them.

But no one dared to ask Ye Feng this question directly.

Ye Feng winked at Pang Tong, stood up and said with a smile: "Do you think this system is good?"

Zhang He was the first to express his opinion: "Of course it's good."

"My lord has always upheld the principle of employing people on the basis of their talents. Otherwise, how could we be promoted given our backgrounds?"

"I believe all the generals present here think so too."

Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and the others all came back to their senses in shock, with shame in their eyes.

Guan Yu, in particular, knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, you have considered everything carefully. Naturally, we have no objection."

"If it weren't for the lord's recruitment, I would still be a murderer and on the run."

"Now I am following the Lord to conquer the world, and I am living a life of luxury. It is good enough to be able to have a son. As for the future, if the children and grandchildren are not ambitious, what is the point of letting them occupy positions in the court?"

Ye Feng helped Guan Yu up and patted his shoulder: "Actually, you are also curious about how you will reward him."

"Will it be affected by the imperial examination system?"

Zhao Yun said solemnly: "No matter how the lord arranges, we will definitely not say a word."

"Who dares to say that his contribution is greater than yours? Who dares to say that he is smarter than yours?"

"If you don't have any of that, you will naturally have to obey the Lord's orders."

“It’s just a natural thing.”

Ye Feng waved his hand: "Okay, I understand your loyalty. I asked you to come here today just to give you peace of mind."

"The imperial examination system affects everyone in the world and treats everyone equally."

"But after all, you followed me to conquer the world, so how could you not get any benefits?"

"Although your official positions cannot be passed down, your titles and wealth can be passed down for three generations!"

"That means you won't see the family's decline in your lifetime."

"But there are always unexpected things. Don't think that this is a get-out-of-jail-free card and do whatever you want. If you do something wrong, I will still trigger it, and I won't be exempted from guilt."

"Understand?"
