The next day, Xia Yuan went to Dongshuai's Mansion to discuss his next move with Wang Weitai.

Last night in the Huang Mansion, the matter of taking in the Yellow Ying was implemented. However, Huang Xue is about to pass away, and in her last days, of course Huang Ying will be by her side. When Huang Xue passed away, Xia Yuan would take over the reception of Huang Ying.

Xia Yuan came to Dongshuai's Mansion and met Wang Weitai.

Waiting for the fragrant tea to be served, everyone sat down, and Wang Weitai said enthusiastically: "Far less, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing recently?"

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "I'm fine, I've done some preliminary arrangements recently, and I'm ready to go out." ”

Wang Weitai was overjoyed, Xia Yuan was about to take action, and he hurriedly asked, "Yuanshao, where are you going to sit?"

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not the book of the military department." The last time you and I met Changqing Zhenjun together, I knew that the military threat from Chen and Yan had disappeared, and I was not ready to take up a military position. ”

Wang Weitai was a little dazed, the cultivators of Liding were all in military positions, could it be that Xia Yuan was going to make an exception to serve as a civilian? Wang Weitai asked puzzledly: "Yuanshao, are you going to serve as a civilian? ”

Xia Yuan said: "Why not, the dean of the Elite Academy seems to be a clerical officer." ”

Wang Weitai was reminded by Xia Yuan, and then he remembered that in the officialdom of the country, there is indeed this exception. The dean of the Licai Academy, a first-class civil official, because he wants to guide the students to practice, the dean has always been served by a Liding cultivator.

The president of the Luncai Academy does not participate in the government politics, and the Luncai Academy has no oil and water to fish, and the major families have little interest in this position. The deans of each realm of the Brilliant Academy are all hired by the imperial court to serve as cultivators from small families at a great cost. The Liding cultivator of the small family is interested in super generous treatment, and he doesn't care about the false name of a product.

For the Liding cultivators who served as the deans of the Liding Academy, Wei Guo offered a generous sum of 1,000 spirit stones per year, which was equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver, which was even more than the annual income of some small families, and it was still very attractive to the Liding cultivators of small families.

However, most of the monks who served as deans would resign after a few years. Because as the director of the Academy, in addition to giving lectures for a few days a month, he also has to deal with chores, which is very time-consuming and energy-consuming. The Liding cultivator who served as the dean of the Luncai Academy, after working for a few years and accumulating some spirit stones, would not continue to do it, and serving as the dean was too much to delay cultivation.

This position of the dean of the Luncai Academy, except for the high point of Yulu, is not of much use at all, but other than that, Wang Weitai can't think of any other clerical position, which is held by a Liding cultivator. Wang Weitai couldn't understand it, and asked: "The position of the president of the Academy is indeed an exception, do you want to be the president of the Academy?"

Xia Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, if I become an official, I will choose the position of the dean of the Elite Academy." ”

Wang Weitai didn't understand it when he heard it, his expression was strange, and he asked hesitantly: "Yuanshao, have you been a little tight on money recently?"

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and he smiled: "Wang Shuai, don't think about it, I didn't pay attention to the dean of the Caicai Academy." ”

Wang Weitai said: "Then why do you want to be the president of the Academy? As far as I know, the president of the Academy has no influence on the government and politics, and no big family cares about this position, even those small families who are cultivators of the Ding Dynasty have been working for a few years, and they will leave after getting a vote, and no one is nostalgic for this position." ”

Xia Yuan said: "That's because they haven't tapped the potential of the Luncai Academy, and they don't have that need." But for us, the institute is a gold mine. I ask you, what is the most important thing that we want to change?"

Wang Weitai thought for a while and said, "The most important thing should be that you are far less, because in order to succeed in change, you need wise leaders and the right program. ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "I can't see it, Wang Shuai, you will also make sycophants." ”

Wang Weitai said: "I'm not a sycophant, this is telling the truth." ”

Xia Yuan said: "Okay, even if it is as you say, I am the most important." Now that I'm here, the agenda for change is in my head, so what do I need to do now that I want to succeed?"

Wang Weitai said: "It is necessary to implement the concept, build up the army, formulate new rules, restore morality, and strictly implement it in order to succeed in the reform." ”

Xia Yuan nodded and said: "What you said is good, but no matter what the new rules and concepts are, they need people to complete them in the end, no matter how good the concept is, the implementation is not good, and it is impossible to succeed." In other words, what we need most now is people who can act according to our philosophy. ”

Wang Weitai came to his senses: "Indeed, our goal is the whole world, and we must rely on many people to act according to our philosophy in order to succeed in the reform." However, the students of the Academy are all elites who are obsessed with cultivation, will they become the talents we need?"

Xia Yuan said: "The students of the Luncai Academy are indeed obsessed with cultivation, but because of this, their minds are very pure, and they are rarely polluted by the corrupt world. Such a group of simple-minded young people, and they all have good cultivation talents, and their cultivation is proud of their peers, once they grow up, they can all take charge of themselves, for us, the Luncai Academy is a big gold mine!"

When Wang Weitai heard this, his mouth suddenly opened. Yes, the mind is simple, the cultivation is high, such a person, it is difficult to find a single one now, but there is a group of people in the Elite Academy! That's about 300 people! If these elites are developed into their own camp, it will be a very huge force, and there is absolutely no force in the country that can compete with them. Once the changes are implemented and they are allowed to implement the new rules throughout the country, the success of the changes is just around the corner.

Wang Weitai said happily: "Your method is too exquisite! The silence turned silent, and the wind and thunder had been fixed before the waves started, and he was indeed a wise leader." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "Look, what are you not sycophants? Now it's just a plan, and it is unknown whether it can succeed." ”

Wang Weitai smiled: "I don't have confidence in changing to someone else, but I have seen far less of your methods." Even the Evergreen True Monarch bows down to you, can a group of young people in the Caicai Academy still stump you?"

Xia Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "That maybe, this young man is very strong, and it is difficult to get it up." ”

Wang Weitai listened to what Xia Yuan said today, although it was only the next step, but it also made his eyes suddenly clear, his long-term chaotic and dazed thoughts were clear, and the worry of not knowing how to start the change no longer existed. The success of the reform suddenly has great hope, and Wang Weitai's mood is extremely happy and relaxed.

Wang Weitai also picked up the teacup, tasted it unhurriedly, and said to Xia Yuan with a smile: "Those young people in the Caicai Academy are all cultivators, you are a great cultivator, and you are not ready to catch them, I don't think anyone can stump you." ”
