Chapter 087 - Making New Rules (Plus 3, Asking for Subscription)
Shenwu Academy, Mingwu Hall.
Ye Cheng wore the official uniform of the head of the courtyard and sat behind the table, with some materials in front of him.
To the left and right below him, there were more than a dozen great martial artists.
"Regarding the upcoming spring exam, I intend to revise the corresponding rules."
Ye Cheng glanced at the great martial artist sitting below and said indifferently.
The great martial artists present all looked at each other.
This set of spring test rules has been used for hundreds of years, and although there are some changes in details, the general direction is still the same as the old one.
They knew that this master of the courtyard had never played his cards in the usual way.
Since you want to change the rules of the spring test, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Master of the hospital, this spring test rule has been used since the establishment of the institute, and there has been no problem, if it is suddenly changed, I am afraid it will cause chaos in the spring test."
As the oldest martial artist Lu Sheng present, he was the first to come out and object.
"But I looked at the list of spring exams over the years, more than seventy percent of the martial arts students are from the six southeastern states, while the other thirteen states only account for 30 percent.
Ye Cheng asked rhetorically with a chuckle.
Grand Martial Master Lu Sheng was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"Now the Tianjian Gate in Shuzhou, the Black Dragon Villa in Qizhou, the Landa Temple in Liangzhou, the Tianji City in Hengzhou, and the Yueqing Sect in Weizhou are all full of talents and martial arts geniuses, why is this so, because we have too few talents in these places, so that the seeds of martial arts have flowed into these sects."
Ye Cheng's tone became serious.
Martial Master Lu Sheng and the others didn't know how to object.
Could it be that it is directly said that the martial arts seeds in these places are not taken, just to prevent these grandmaster forces from infiltrating into the Divine Martial Academy?
"Therefore, the revision of the rules of the spring examination is urgent, our Shenwu Academy, as the façade of the imperial court to recruit martial arts seeds to the outside world, must be open-minded, not because of personal prejudice, geographical protection, etc., resulting in the loss of some martial arts geniuses who should have served the imperial court, our Shenwu Academy must recruit talents from all over the world for the imperial court, regardless of background, regardless of whether they are noble or low, as long as they are the people of my country, as long as their talent is enough, they can be allowed to enter my Shenwu Academy."
Ye Cheng said with a deep meaning.
His words were like a hammer smashing into everyone's hearts.
for they know the purpose of what the master of the house is saying.
From the perspective of various legal principles, Ye Cheng's words were unpicked, and they were completely for the sake of the imperial court.
Anyone who opposes it is suspicious.
"This is the rules I formulated for the Spring Festival test, everyone take turns to look at it to see if there is anything that needs to be increased or decreased." As he spoke, Ye Cheng threw a booklet to Martial Master Lu Sheng.
After Martial Master Lu Sheng took it, he hurriedly looked through it.
But looking at it, his face became more and more bad.
Because in this booklet, Ye Cheng almost overturned the spring examination rules of the Shenwu Academy.
First of all, according to the proportion of the population of the nineteen states under heaven, the number of martial arts seeds taken by each state is fixedly distributed.
In this way, if they want to do anything again, there is no way, because the number of martial arts seeds admitted in each state is fixed.
According to Yecheng's distribution law, the six southeastern states are allocated 35 percent.
It is equivalent to cutting it by half from the original seventy.
The second item is even more absolute.
The martial arts forces and civilian families have also been allocated corresponding quotas, with martial arts forces accounting for 70 percent and civilian families accounting for 30 percent.
Although the children of the martial arts forces still occupy the vast majority.
But compared with the original, there is a huge gap.
It turns out that the proportion of martial arts forces is more than ninety.
Even this last one percent may not all be real civilian children, maybe just some down-and-out martial arts family children.
There are too few and too few real commoners, they are simply impossible, and it is difficult for them to obtain the conditions for martial arts training, and they are suppressed everywhere by the martial arts elites, and they have almost no future.
But in fact, the number of civilians is the largest, and there must be a large number of highly talented martial arts seeds hidden in them, but because they can't get the opportunity to practice martial arts, they are wasted in the end.
Ye Cheng wants to give the children of civilians the qualifications to practice martial arts, so as to get the opportunity to make a class jump.
A society that is thoroughly class-solidified is unsound and lifeless.
The only way to break this class solidification is to give the lower classes a chance to be promoted.
Only in this way can the imperial power be stabilized.
Otherwise, all the old martial arts magnates will occupy the position, and they will become more and more greedy, not only depriving the lower echelons of promotion opportunities, but also seeking greater benefits, thus threatening the imperial power.
What needs to be done now is to use the Shenwu Academy to open up the passage from the bottom to the top, with the talented going up and the mediocre going down, and finally forming a stable and sound flow cycle of class.
The process will be difficult and full of resistance.
The third item concerns the ratio of men to women in martial arts.
The original proportion of female martial arts students was very low, and it was less than one percent.
Ye Cheng also raised to three percent.
As for saying five or five points, it's not realistic, the atmosphere of this world is not so open, even among the martial arts forces.
If the first two involve the interests of martial arts forces, the third one involves ethical gender issues, and there will definitely be no shortage of controversy.
The fourth is the state branches, which also implement the second and third distribution schemes.
Although the impact was not as great as the first two items, it still touched the interests of many small and medium-sized martial arts forces.
The latter items involve the assessment content of the spring examination, and the changes are not obvious, but some assessment details have been added.
After the pamphlet spread to everyone, Ye Cheng saw the wonderful expressions of these great martial artists, and immediately smiled: "After everyone reads it, what do you think?" ”
"Courtyard Master, I don't think this second article is a little suitable, the children of the martial arts forces are destined to be much better than the children of civilians in all aspects, if the proportion of civilians is greatly increased, I am afraid that the quality of martial arts will be greatly reduced."
Martial Master Lu Sheng was the first to stand up and arched his hand.
For a person like him, who came from a martial arts family, the dislike for the second item would definitely not be inferior to the first.
This is the absolute interest of shaking them, the elite of martial arts.
There are so many martial arts resources in the world, and the more people who share the cake, the less the original people will get.
Now a large increase in the number of commoners' children is equivalent to robbing them of the cake of the martial arts elite.
How could they possibly say yes?
"Martial Master Lu Sheng, I have checked the information, your Lu family was only a civilian family three hundred years ago, because your Lu family's ancestor Lu Kang's predecessors had a high martial arts talent, and stood out from many martial arts seeds, so that you have today's Lu family, if the martial arts magnates of the year also restricted the way out for the children of the common people, does your Lu family still have any hope of rising?"
Ye Cheng stared at Grand Martial Master Lu Sheng and asked in a deep voice.
Martial Master Lu Sheng's face changed slightly, and the question of his ancestor's origin was a taboo in his heart.
"And Zhang asked Great Martial Master, your Zhang family was also from a civilian background more than a hundred years ago, right?"
Ye Cheng looked at another great martial artist again, "I won't talk about others, I'm afraid that at least half of today's martial arts forces are from civilian backgrounds in the previous dynasty, just ask these martial arts powerhouses from civilian backgrounds, are they really worse than the original martial arts magnates?" No, it's not bad at all, there has always been only one truth in this world, that is, the talented go up, and the mediocre go down. What we can do is let go of the ascending channel, not a suppression blockage, which is not going to work. ”
The great martial artists present were already speechless, because Ye Cheng said it too obviously.
If they oppose it, it will be a blatant suppression of the children of the common people.
"Okay, the rules of the spring test, just follow the above, I will announce the new rules of the spring test to the world, and at the same time apply to His Majesty to set up a supervision agency to supervise the conduct of the spring test."
Ye Cheng waved his hand and immediately made a decision.
In this way, under the strong implementation of Ye Cheng, the new spring test rules were revised and formulated.
This also caused an uproar within the Shenwu Academy.
Everyone knows that after the implementation of the new spring examination rules, the interests of many people will be seriously damaged.
So the forces of all parties began to exert their strength, trying to find various ways to speak out in the court and slander what Ye Cheng had done.
But with the support of Emperor Qian, coupled with Ye Cheng's arguments, he was angry with those ministers in the court, and he did not fall behind.
The new rules of the spring examination of Shenwu Academy were soon announced to the world, and through official channels, they spread throughout the nineteen states and even counties in the world.
For a time, there were many opponents, but there were also countless supporters.
In particular, the martial arts forces that have been suppressed in the other thirteen states, such as several major grandmaster-level forces, have even spoken out in support of the new measures of the Shenwu Academy.
Although these new rules involve increasing the proportion of civilian children and female martial artists, as long as it can curb the power of the six southeastern states, they will support it with both hands.
The Imperial Palace, the Temple of the Goddess of Maintenance.
The Emperor sat behind the imperial case.
And the crown prince Su Zhe is also there.
"Ye Cheng, your method of modifying the rules of the spring exam is really powerful."
Prince Su Zhe was amazed.
To make such a move, it takes not only wisdom, but also courage and determination.
This is to be the enemy of many martial arts forces in the world.
It's completely on the opposite side of those interest groups.
"Without His Majesty's support, no matter how good the minister's method is, it is just a piece of paper."
Ye Cheng said extremely modestly.
"Ye Qing, what do you think about the supervision agency for the spring test?"
The Qianhuang also looked satisfied, and then asked.
Ye Cheng had only been the master of the Shenwu Academy for a few months, but he had already made a difference.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea."
Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Tell me about it."
Emperor Qianhuang said.
"The minister plans to set up a joint supervision group for the spring examination, and invite the major grandmaster-level forces in the world to send one person each to serve as a supervising envoy to supervise the spring examination process."
Ye Cheng said.
"Ye Cheng, your method is good, in this way, you will also bring in those few grandmaster factions."
Su Zhe couldn't help but say.
"But in this way, wouldn't those Grandmaster factions have the upper hand?"
The Emperor was more rational and found the problem.
After all, the Longmen Zhao family and the Hetian Wang family can only be regarded as two grandmaster forces.
As for the other sect masters, there are five of them.
Two to five.
I am afraid that there will be a situation where the Wang and Zhao families will fall into disadvantage.
"So please send one person, and the Faceling Grandmaster and General Meng Ke can also be represented by a separate sect master, plus Chen, the master of the Shenwu Academy, a total of eleven people, to form this joint supervision group."
Ye Cheng chuckled.
"Okay, such a joint monitoring mission is the most reasonable."
Emperor Qianhuang smiled.
This kind of mutual checks and balances is enough to make it impossible for one side to overpower the other.
On the contrary, it is the side of the Qianhuang who can act as a referee and make decisions according to needs.
