Chapter 210 Sixth World Exam, Talent Selection

The way Yan Li thought of was to report the Great Examination of the World. However, the Tianhuang Continent emphasizes martial arts and not culture, so it cannot copy the examination system of the earth's feudal dynasty, and must be changed to a certain extent.

After spending several hours, Yan Li combined the scientific examination system on Earth with the current situation of Tianhuang Continent to formulate an examination system. If the scientific examination is divided into ten points, then martial arts will be assigned six points, essays will be assigned three points, and strategy will be assigned three points. one cent.

At the same time, according to Yanli's idea, the scientific examination is divided into three levels. The first level will be set by the county, and those who pass the first level can participate in the second level of the provincial examination.

The third test was held in the imperial city, and all candidates who passed the three tests could be awarded the title of "Jinshi" by the empire, and they would be the seventh-rank post-officials.

However, these are Yanli's preliminary ideas, and a trustworthy person must be arranged for the specific implementation.

He naturally thought of Jiang Longxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War. In the past six months he has been in charge of the country, Jiang Longxiang has given him the greatest support. Secondly, Wang Yuanzhi has also unswervingly carried out his orders.

As for Situ Guang, Minister of Officials, Yu Wentian, Minister of Punishment, Qin Guoyu, Minister of Rites, and Dongfang Shi, Minister of Hubu, they were respectful and polite to him on the surface, but they often opposed him secretly. The yang obeys the yin and violates.

Suddenly, Yan Li realized a problem that he almost ignored. The main purpose of scientific research was to select a large number of talents for the empire.

But in Dayun Kingdom, at least one-third of the empire's officials come from the eight major families, the remaining twenty-thirds ** come from some small families, and the last part comes from the folks.

Therefore, whether in the officialdom or in the army, the children of the aristocratic family occupy the main position. If the national exam is held, although it will get the support of the poor family's children, it will damage the interests of the aristocratic family. Thinking of this, Yan Li can't help but feel a little headache.

In the end, he planned to summon Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuanzhi to hear what they thought.

Half an hour later, Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuanzhi arrived hand in hand.

After seeing the ceremony, Yan Li asked the little eunuch to move a stool for them to sit down, and then began to talk about the idea of ​​the scientific examination.

Both Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuanzhi were extremely intelligent, and their eyes lit up when they heard Yan Li's idea, but then they realized that although this great exam could attract a large number of talents, it would harm the interests of the family.

Jiang Longxiang is the head of the Jiang family, and Wang Yuanzhi is the head of the Wang family. Although they are the heads of the family, you can't keep your promises in the family. Behind them is a group of elders who restrict their rights.

Just like this, they understand that if they want to hold a big exam, they will definitely encounter great resistance. Although Dayun Kingdom holds martial arts exams every year, the so-called martial arts exams are all operated by major families. are not eligible to participate.

Looking at the two people who were silent, Yan Li felt a little angry in his heart, but soon relieved, "What do you two love?"

Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuanzhi smiled wryly at each other. The emperor's grandson wanted them to make a statement. Now, they had a chance to make a choice. Either abandon the interests of the family and support him vigorously, or disobey him and focus on the family.

These two choices are extremely difficult. The family has cultivated them. Without the support of the family, they would not be able to make it this far. Therefore, they really find it difficult to harm the interests of the family.

As for disobeying the emperor and grandson, it is probably impossible for him to give up this idea. After half a year of contact, they have gradually understood Yanli's character: he is resolute in doing things, decisive in killing, and has a strong grasp of the overall situation. Otherwise, , and will not hold novelty things such as newspapers, and will not issue orders to reduce business taxes.

Both the newspaper and the reduction of commercial tax have brought huge benefits to the empire. First of all, through the newspaper, the citizens have a stronger sense of identity with the empire, and the benefit of reducing the commercial tax is that the tax revenue for half a year has not dropped, but It has risen by about [-]%.

At the same time, if they really want to oppose him, they have every reason to believe that the future Emperor Dayun will definitely raise his butcher knife against them. You must know that he is not merciless in killing people in the Great Qin Kingdom and the barbarians. .

It is said that hundreds of thousands of city guards in the Great Qin State died under his command, and in the Barbarian State, even they could not do the cruel massacre of villages.

Both of them knew that it was time to make a choice.

Finally, Jiang Longxiang gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Emperor Grandson, I ask you to be the chief examiner of this scientific examination!"

Seeing that Jiang Longxiang had already made a decision, Wang Yuanzhi had no choice but to say, "I feel that the scientific research has great potential!"

Hearing this, Yan Li laughed, these two people did not disappoint him, otherwise, he could only wield the butcher's knife and uproot the Eight Great Families.

He has never been a soft-hearted person. Anyone who dares to block his way has only one way to kill them all.

Next, the three of them discussed again.

On the second day, all civil and military officials gathered in Chongyang Hall to participate in the early court.

"The emperor's grandson is here!"

With a sharp sound, Yan Li, who was wearing a dragon robe, stepped into the hall with dragon-like strides, and finally slowly walked up to the dragon chair and sat down.

"See the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Everyone loves you!" Yan Li sat on the dragon chair, without looking sideways, raised his hand, and all the ministers thanked him and got up one after another.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

The eunuch standing aside said in a sharp voice.

"The minister has a book to play!" A third-rank minister walked out, holding a memorial in both hands.

A little eunuch came forward to pick up the memorial and sent it to Yan Li.

Opening the memorial, the main content is to tell that a certain county was hit by floods, and I hope the empire will take money to relieve the disaster! "

When the people were hit by a disaster, relief was a matter of course. In addition to the rich treasury of the Dayun Kingdom, no one came forward to object. In the end, Yanli approved 500 million taels of gold for disaster relief.

"Minister, I also have a book to play!" After solving a matter, another minister cut it out.

…………

After dealing with several trivial matters in a row, Jiang Longxiang finally stood up and sent a memorial.

Yan Li pretended to open it for a while, but Jiang Longxiang showed it to Yan Li right after he finished writing the memorial. He had long been familiar with the content of the opposite.

"Read!" Yan Li handed the memorial to the eunuch next to him.

Then, a sharp voice resounded through the entire hall.

Listening to the contents of the memorial, the expressions of most of the ministers present changed, especially Dongfang Shi, Yu Wentian, Yu Guang, and Qin Guozhou all stared at Jiang Longxiang with surprise.

I was even more puzzled in my heart, "You know, the scientific examination mentioned in this memorial is very detrimental to the aristocratic family, how could Jiang Longxiang do things that harm others and benefit himself?"

Suddenly, they seemed to have thought of something, subconsciously glanced at the calm young face sitting high on the dragon chair, "Could it be him who did it?"

Thinking of this level, they all felt that Yan Li should have messed up the matter of the scientific research, and then told it through Jiang Longxiang's mouth.

"No! You must not report the scientific examination! Otherwise, the strength of our family will be greatly reduced!" The four ministers glanced at each other, and they all understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"My loves, what do you think of this scientific examination?" Yan Li asked calmly.

Silence, still silence!

The ministers present are not fools. As the saying goes, shoot the first bird, let's wait until we understand the situation before speaking.

Yan Li's voice sounded again: "Silence is tacit consent! It seems that everyone has no opinion! Then this matter will be settled like this...!"

"Emperor grandson, I have something to say!"

Seeing that Yan Li was about to make a decision, Dongfang Shi panicked, and quickly looked at an official not far away from him. The other party understood and stood up quickly.

"What do you have to say?" Yan Li still asked calmly.

"Back to the emperor's grandson, I feel that the matter of the scientific examination is inappropriate!"

"Oh, what's wrong, let's hear it!" Yan Li said with a smile!

"This... this..." The other party was trying to push the ducks to the shelf, how could he tell the shortcomings of the scientific research, for a while, he became stuttering, not knowing what to say!

Seeing this, Yan Li couldn't help but an inexplicable sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Feeling his smile, the minister couldn't help but shuddered, and said with an idea, "I believe that people in the world are all dominated by martial arts, but in this scientific expedition, martial arts The ingredients only accounted for [-]%, so...!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

…………

In an instant, more than a dozen ministers came out to express their opposition to the scientific examination. These people were all members of the eight major families.

Looking at the people who opposed, Yan Li still acted very calmly.

"Wang Shangshu, what do you think?"

Wang Yuan walked straight out, and said loudly, "I feel that it is necessary to hold the national exam...!"

When Dongfangshi and others saw that Wang Yuanzhi also supported the scientific research, their eyes shrank slightly.

"My lord, that's wrong!" Dongfang Shi walked out, mockingly said, "Although this scientific research can recruit enough talents for the empire, can you guarantee their loyalty to the empire?"

"My lord Dongfang's words are a bit funny, people's hearts are so close to each other, no one can know what other people are thinking, how can I guarantee it!" Wang Yuanzhi sneered back.

"...You...!" Dongfang Shiben was nitpicking, and he didn't know what to say when he was pushed by Wang Yuanzhi.

"The grandson of the emperor, I have some opinions." Seeing Dongfang Shi deflated, Yu Wentian walked out.

"Please tell me, Yu Aiqing!" Yan Li nodded.

"As we all know, the empire belongs to the royal family, but it is the aristocratic family that governs the world for the royal family. The children of the aristocratic family have undergone strict training since childhood. Therefore, the children of the aristocratic family are definitely stronger than ordinary citizens. How about adding a condition that only the children of the aristocratic family are allowed to participate!"

As soon as this remark came out, most of the ministers had joyful expressions on their faces, secretly praising Yu Wentian for his brilliant strategy.

Even Yan Li couldn't help secretly praising Yu Wentian for his good move.

"Master Yu is right. Even if the children of a small family are better than ordinary citizens, the grandson of the emperor, this scientific examination should be conducted within the scope of the family. Qin Guozhou went out of the way.

"No hurry! No hurry! This matter will be discussed later!" Yan Li waved his hand with a smile, and then glanced at the eunuch next to him.

"Tell, Fan Dongliu, the Commander of Jinyiwei, has an audience!"

As soon as the words fell, Fan Dongliu strode into the main hall. When he came, the surrounding ministers felt a chill in their hearts, because Jin Yiwei's notoriety had already spread throughout the official circles of Dayun Kingdom.
