Chapter 1653: Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!!!!
Solam's words shocked Xianna, and even the three views felt a little faintly about to collapse. She was born into an aristocracy, and she took it for granted that nobility was the cornerstone of the world. Without aristocrats, who will govern the country? Who will defend the people without the nobility? Without aristocracy, where does the legal basis come from?
This was unthinkable before Sianna, after all, even a so-called democratic country like Amm was full of aristocrats, not to mention that the entire Faeron was dominated by feudal lordship.
It's not to blame Sianna, it's a limitation given to her by the times, what's more, she was originally cultivated as an ordinary person.
"That'...... Your territory must be taken care of! Xena couldn't help but ask. Then, as if she knew what Solam was going to say, she preemptively said, "Don't say anything about the Council of Sages and the Council of Immanuel!" How many people are they in charge of now? What about later? Don't your territory need to grow? Are they up to the task? Although I have never managed any territory, I know that managing a territory is not something that a few people can do, and your territory is so big, once it develops, you will need a lot of officials! What are you going to do to fill this gap? ”
The aristocracy is the basis of rule, although this is refuted, but in the feudal lord system, this is true. Without an aristocracy, who will run the people? Who collects taxes? Who will organize the army?
Sianna was afraid that Soram would have a tendon and mess things up instead.
Unexpectedly, Solam still didn't care. He drank the black tea in front of him, then wiped his mouth and said casually, "I can arrange the exam!" ”
Xia was a little confused: "Exam? She didn't know what it had to do with the exam, and she couldn't even understand Soram's logic right now.
And Solam still doesn't pay much attention, in fact, the question asked by Sianna, Soram really didn't think about it, he never thought about it, the original creation of those territories was the product of misfortune, Okasuan was the spoils of war after being pitted by Elise, Immanuel bought it entirely because Nazel wanted a tax exemption policy, and the Mother Mist Island was even simpler, he returned from the abyss and needed sacrifices, and it just so happened that Vioret was eyeing the pirates on the Mother Mist Island......
In short, Solam himself didn't expect things to turn out like this, where did he think? Anyway, life is okay, so it's okay!
Under the dominance of this salted fish thought, it is naturally impossible for Solam to consider such a profound issue. But now that Sianna asked, Soram naturally thought about it. But, after all, there is no need for Solam to really think about this kind of thing. After all, the solution had always been in his head.
Knowledge of past lives!
The benefits of the traverser! Not to mention anything else, the 5,000-year history of China covers almost most of the social changes, and the answers that Xianna needs are in the history books, and any junior high school student can give you a few words in the vernacular. Not to mention Solam. So he casually took out the imperial examination system.
The imperial examination system, I have to say, this system is definitely a pioneer, and it is also because of this initiative that China is the first country in the world to get rid of the feudal lord system (ancient China should not be considered feudal). It broke the real feudal system, allowed centralized power to appear for the first time in that world, and also caused the greatest consequence of the emperor's authority.
But this consequence should be just right for Solam!
"I plan to implement a system in my territory to select officials by examination, so as to maximize the discovery and promotion of talents." Solam explained the imperial examination system to Xianna, of course, the real imperial examination system is very troublesome, not a sentence or two can explain it clearly, at least Solam will explain it clearly for a while and a half, Solam really doesn't know where to say it. But there's no rush to this. Anyway, I can still cope with it now, and there is time to slowly improve.
Sianna was shocked again, for the first time she had heard of such a perfunctory way of promoting officials. Fortunately, Sianna was very smart and immediately thought of this solution...... Feasible! At least theoretically, yes, and then Shianna thought of the collaboration between Soram and Coulson just now.
"Could it be...... Your cooperation with Coulson is to lay the foundation for this system? Although it was an interrogative sentence, Xia had basically decided that Soram was intentional. At this moment, Xia really felt that Soram was definitely a hero, and he had planned it a long time ago.
Sianna was obviously thinking too much at this time, and she thought that the real purpose of Soram's desire to see the Candle Castle was to catch the knowledge sage of the Candle Castle for the bait. Including Soram's stay in the Knowledge Islands and his sudden order of 600,000 books, it was also understood by Sianna that Soram was laying out......
This person, sometimes the brain replenishment ability is too strong, it is not necessarily a good thing, and it is easy to be blind......
Solam naturally didn't know that Sianna had made up her brain into a calculating, well-thought-out, and visionary hero. When he heard Sianna say this, he suddenly felt ...... It's such a coincidence.
Solam is a good-looking person, so it is naturally impossible to show timidity in front of beautiful women, after all, everyone wants their image to be taller in the eyes of others.
So Solam shamelessly admitted.
"Ah...... Hahahaha, you saw through it. Yes, that's what I mean. Well, that's what it means. Soram rubbed the back of his head with an awkward smile, taking it all as his own foresight.
As everyone knows, others have long thought more exaggerated.
In short, Soram became great in Sianna's mind.
"That'...... Aren't those officials who came from exams considered aristocrats? After all, you've given them power. "Sianna still hasn't completely shaken off her old thinking.
"Of course they are nobles! After all, they are officials, so they will naturally have rights. These things are inevitable. Again, as long as private property exists, there will be a hierarchy of powers, and there is nothing wrong with saying that they are aristocrats. After all...... Everybody gets the idea.
"Didn't you just ...... then," Xia asked again.
But before she could speak, Soram interrupted her.
"But their power comes from me, not from inheritance! They are nobles, but their descendants are not! I can take back their power at any time! So everything is still up to me, not to mention, the real essence of this system is not here, but in the flow! I will take another examination every once in a while to select new officials and replace those who are not qualified, so that the class will not be solidified and will remain alive one at a time. ”
That last sentence is, of course, nonsense, but in the current environment, this system is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
