Liu Che's gunner, Dr. Dongfang Shuozhong, proposed a plan for the selection of talents by the scientific examination system in the court, which instantly made the court fry, which moved the core interests of many families.

Although there are many opponents, there are some officials from poor backgrounds who fully support it, such as Wei Qing, who was born in Namanu and has already sat on the marquis by virtue of his military merits, which is the brother-in-law of the emperor who fully supports him.

Of course, there are also some state capitals who were personally promoted by the emperor, and they also gave full support, and then with Liu Che's own full support, this scientific examination system was finally forcibly passed by the court.

Subsequently, the fairest scientific examination system of the feudal dynasty began to be promoted nationwide, and the first township examination was also put on the agenda.

However, this scientific examination system is still a little different from the historical scientific examination system, and under Zhou Bufan's strong advocacy, in principle, women can also participate in the scientific examination as officials.

The reason is that women account for half of the world's population, and naturally there will be outstanding people who are buried in vain.

Of course, it is only feasible in principle, and there will still be many difficulties if you want to really participate in the scientific examination, so Liu Che reluctantly agreed after hesitating for a long time.

The idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is deep-rooted, and women's scientific research is destined to be extremely difficult, but as long as a hole is torn, I believe that with the passage of time, this hole may become bigger and bigger.

Of course, it is not excluded that the torn hole will be re-plugged by some people, but there is a precedent for the opening that has been opened in history.

If this Liu Che runs the Han Dynasty well, and there are several powerful female officials, many things may change in the future.

It is said that the court has staged several martial arts battles in the court, but the construction of infrastructure in the whole country has been fully rolled out, and agricultural production and many workshops have new equipment, and the production efficiency has been greatly improved.

Prices are getting cheaper, and the incomes of the general public are also rising rapidly, and the country's economy has been fully revitalized.

With the agricultural tax and the poll tax not increasing at all, the revenue from the commodity transaction tax increased the fiscal revenue of the imperial court steadily, and the fiscal revenue in the second quarter increased by as much as 50% compared with the first quarter.

The surging fiscal revenue gave Liu Che a strong confidence, and although there were many obstacles to the orderly advancement of the reform system, it failed to stop the momentum of reform.

……

Not to mention the reform of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Bufan, the initiator of this reform, hid in the mansion all day long to practice qi cultivation, and by the way, he drummed up the alchemy furnace, of course, from time to time he also needed to mediate the relationship between Xia Bing and Ruan Yu.

I don't know what the situation is, Xia Bing just didn't like Ruan Yu, although Ruan Yu had already behaved very humble, but he was still targeted by Xia Bing intentionally or unintentionally.

There is also the fact that Xiaobai often bullied Ruan Yu, and he has scolded him several times, and a few times he even wanted to teach Xiaobai a lesson, but I don't know why, every time I see it with a grievanceed face, I always feel that I am sorry for it, and I really can't do it.

Therefore, I can only try to take care of Ruan Yu as much as possible, and by the way, I gave her some valuable jewelry and jade, which can be regarded as appeasing Ruan Yu's injured heart, at least this girl is very happy every time she receives a gift, and it is by no means happy with a forced smile.

In addition, although he is now in the period of rapid growth in the early stage of Qi training, he really doesn't want to waste this great opportunity, so he didn't have a round house with this nominal concubine.

It's just that sometimes when the girl receives the gift, she excitedly takes the initiative to throw herself into her arms, and she can't help but hold someone and touch and scratch it, as if she has done everything except a home run.

As for those former death row prisoners and current labor prisoners, they have basically surrendered, and the strategy is simple, just let Xiaoqiu and Yue'er be in charge of secret supervision, and even in order to increase the intensity of supervision, even several other spirits enshrined in their hometown have also taken over to cooperate with Xiaoqiu and Yue'er to supervise.

After a period of close supervision, a few restless black sheep were indeed discovered, and Zhou Bufan did not have the slightest mercy on these people.

With the mysterious and unpredictable monitoring methods, everyone broke off the idea of doing things and began to accept the labor camp life with peace of mind.

Of course, terror and deterrence are not the only means, in fact, the work arranged by Zhou Bufan for these people is not tiring and the salary is not low, and it also includes food and shelter, as long as the appearance is good, you can get out of the lowly status earlier, and life is rushing.

In principle, as long as you work honestly for seven or eight years, you can save a lot of money, and then go home to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and live a happy life from now on.

Since they can live a good life, few people are willing to risk killing their heads to rebel, unless their brains are in water.

saw a better life in the future, coupled with the means of grace and power, but in just over half a month, he basically subdued this group of unruly people.

……

The busy and fulfilling days passed day by day, and before I knew it, another month had passed, and the system that was going to be used for alchemy was finally successfully built.

The core of the system is, of course, an alchemy furnace, which is cast from specially purified copper, which is about 1.5 meters high, 1.2 meters in diameter and weighs about 2.5 tons.

The material cost of this thing alone is as high as one million dollars, of course, the most expensive thing is not the 2.5 tons of copper, but the rune array inlaid on the Dan furnace like an inscription.

The synthetic formation materials, although the materials themselves are not very expensive, is some gold, silver cinnabar and some animal blood, but the synthesis process is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is necessary to integrate willpower and heaven and earth aura into these materials.

For a person who has spent a lot of time and energy refining the formation materials, it is definitely thousands of times more expensive than gold of the same weight.

The back garden, which covers an area of more than ten acres, has been completely bulldozed, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, of course, a rather large Zhou Tianxing Dou Array is buried under the bluestone slabs.

Sitting on the edge of the Dan furnace, I carefully felt that after the activation of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array on the periphery, the spiritual energy within a radius of one kilometer was all pulled, and some of the spiritual energy was pulled to the vicinity of the Dan furnace, causing the concentration of spiritual energy near the Dan furnace to increase by more than ten times.

Then the rune array on the Dan furnace was activated, and these spiritual qi were once again pulled and gathered at the core of the Dan furnace for alchemy, and the concentration of the spiritual energy was increased several times again......

"Yes, good stuff finally came out."

"Congratulations Master, will we be able to refine the Divine Pill soon?"

"Not yet, I still have to record the time when the Heavenly Star Dou greatly increased the amount of support for the aura to gather in that week, so that I can better get the dosage and time of the elixir refining."

"Isn't the Star Dou Great Array able to continuously gather aura?"

"Of course not, at least the current formation materials are not good, they can only be activated once when the energy accumulation reaches its peak, and the time that a day can last may be less than an hour."

"I see, by the way, Master, if this alchemy furnace is not alchemy, can it be used to assist them in practicing qi with this Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array?"

"Well, there are indeed some effects in the early stage of Qi training, but after the quality of our True Qi reaches a certain level, these extremely low-quality aura, even if the concentration is high, the effect will not be too great."

“…… Is there a formation that can improve the quality of the aura? ”

"Yes, there must be, but I haven't found it yet, it's really good that you can think of these, and if you study and experiment more in the future, you may be able to find a formation to improve the quality of aura."

"This kind of research and experiment is not done by a genius like Master."

"Research experiments, many times rely on luck, so you usually do more research experiments when you are fine, don't go to Ruan Yu for trouble."

“…… Master, you have really fallen lately! ”

"Nonsense, how did I fall."

"Didn't you tell me before, you have to focus on Qi training, love and love are all floating clouds?"

"Love is indeed a floating cloud, what's the problem?"

"Then why do you still care so much about Ruan Yu, and you always shush her when you have something to do?"

"People are helpless, if I don't care more, I won't be bullied to death by you and Xiaobai."

"If Master didn't run to her all day long, how could Xiaobai bully her?"

"By the way, didn't you hate Xiaobai very much before, why do you have such a good relationship with Xiaobai now?"

"Xiaobai can't pretend at least, but that woman is a scheming, and she is too good at pretending in front of you, so I don't believe that Master doesn't know her disguise at all."

“…… Life is not easy, there is nothing to disguise yourself properly, if Miss Ruan is not good at disguising herself, she may have died countless times in the palace at the beginning. ”

"She cheated you out of so much money, why don't you care at all?"

"The question is, what's the use of keeping all that money?" Zhou Bufan asked rhetorically, but it made Xia Bing a little speechless.
