The Imperial Study.

A number of cabinet ministers have gathered.

Lin Bai glanced at everyone and said, "The imperial examination is imminent, how are the preparations on the side of the Tribute Academy?" ”

Seeing this, Wang Tianze, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is as usual in the Tribute Courtyard, and the lifters have been properly arranged. ”

Lin Bai nodded, "That's fine, there are three days left before the exam starts, remember, there can't be any mistakes." ”

Wang Tianze said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands." ”

Lin Bai snorted, and then said: "The other thing is the matter of education reform......

The ministers already know about the education reform.

This is a good thing, but also a big thing, and it is related to the future of the dynasty.

In fact, when the talented son was still the prince, the educational reform implemented by the emperor caused great repercussions in the court, after all, Lao Zhu took them to visit the flag-raising ceremony of the experimental primary school.

And they also remember the flag-raising ceremony vividly.

Since then, education reform has been in full swing and has flourished.

It's just that in the end, because of some changes, the education reform was forced to stop, and now that the great talent is restarted, everyone naturally has no problem, even if there is a problem, it was solved by Lao Zhu at the beginning, the only problem is money, but this obviously has nothing to do with them.

They can't make money, but your Majesty, and money is not a problem for Your Majesty at all.

These people are like mirrors in their hearts, although the household department has no money, but the money of the talented people can't be spent at all, so they ......

Lin Bai looked at the appearance of these people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but throb.

These old bastards, I don't want you to pay, if it doesn't hurt at all.

Never mind!

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and paused: "The queen will be personally responsible for the education reform, and all departments will fully cooperate, and after the imperial examination, I will announce this matter in public." ”

"In addition, regarding this reform, I intend to include merchants in it, and in the future, the sons of merchants will also be able to participate in the imperial examination, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Not an accident.

In fact, it is not surprising that the great genius would put forward this idea, after all, when the Ministry of Commerce was established, the great genius put forward such an idea, and it is precisely because of this that it was respected by businessmen all over the world, and quickly raised funds for the new city of Ezhou, dragging Ezhou back from the abyss.

And throughout the journey, great talents have paid special attention to businessmen.

Merchants also trusted great talents, which created Ping'an County, Changjin County, Ezhou and the entire southwest.

It is no exaggeration to say that the success of a great talent is inseparable from a businessman, so he put forward such an idea, and everyone was not surprised at all.

First abolished the craftsman's registration, and then rectified the rule of officials, which proposed to allow merchants to take the imperial examination.

In the eyes of many people, the first thing a great talent should be to improve the status of a businessman, but this is not the case......

The ministers looked at each other.

Wang Tianze was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, it is a major event for businessmen to participate in the imperial examination, and the minister thinks that he should be cautious. ”

Zhao Santong, the head of the household department, also said: "The minister agrees with Lord Wang's opinion, although the role of businessmen is not small, but the hidden danger is also great, at the moment they are just rich, if they participate in the imperial examination, it is not a matter of money, and they will have power, and it will be difficult for poor students to compete with them." ”

"Not bad......"

Unexpectedly, there was a lot of opposition.

Lin Bai frowned slightly, he thought that after these things, everyone should accept the businessman and understand the role of the businessman, but he didn't expect that these officials in the DPRK and China had such a big prejudice against the businessman.

You must know that it is already obvious that you value businessmen, and these people dare to say this in front of you, which is enough to explain the problem.

Lin Bai believes that if it weren't for his prestige, I'm afraid it would be far more than that.

Although businessmen are harmful, they are not so exaggerated, right?

The great genius was very skeptical.

Fortunately, the education reform has not officially begun, and he is not in a hurry, so he is not in a hurry to make a decision, just go to Yan's mansion for a while, and ask Comrade Lao Yan by the way.

Outside the Yan Mansion.

The carriage stopped, and Mrs. Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly greeted her.

The curtain of the car was opened, Lin Bai helped Yan Ruxue get out of the carriage, and now Miss Yan has a big belly, and her movement is extremely inconvenient, but fortunately, she can still walk for the time being, in her words, while she can still walk around now, she often goes back to her parents' house to see, and when she can't move around, it will take at least a few months to come back.

"Xue'er, slow down, slow down......" The old mother-in-law looked concerned and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

As for His Majesty Concubine Yan, all of them are left behind.

In the eyes of the old mother-in-law, this is the return of her daughter and aunt.

Of course, the subordinates didn't dare, and knelt down for a long time, "I've seen Your Majesty, Concubine Yan!" ”

In the house, the old mother-in-law has already prepared countless things that the aunt and daughter like, and she doesn't treat her uncle as the emperor at all.

I don't have any status in the family, so we can still do it.

Lin Bai naturally didn't care.

After listening to the old mother-in-law's nagging, Weng and his son-in-law sat down. Yan Wenliang has joined the Ministry of Commerce, and he is busy and dizzy, and he is not at home.

After a few idle words, Lin Bai went straight to the point, "Father-in-law, I intend to let businessmen participate in the imperial examination, what do you think?" ”

Although he became an emperor, he was used to it, and the talented man was still commensurate with his father-in-law.

Comrade Lao Yan was not suitable at first, but he couldn't resist the great talent, so he could only bear it, and he was quite proud in his heart, and when he heard this, he looked at Lin Bai and asked, "All the cabinet ministers are against it?" ”

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment.

If you don't say that the old man is an old fox, needless to say, you know.

Immediately, Lin Bai nodded, "Not bad!" Cabinet ministers seem to be quite resistant. ”

Yan Zhenlin said: "That's because Your Majesty values businessmen and has led them to great success, otherwise it would be far more than that." ”

Lin Bai was puzzled: "Why? ”

Yan Zhenlin thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "All dynasties have been cracking down on merchants, can Your Majesty know why?" ”

Lin Bai said tentatively: "Because businessmen don't produce, buy low and sell high, causing prices to soar and undermining social stability? ”

"However, I have established a business bill in the southwest, and a business supervision group, whose function is not only to protect the interests of merchants, but also to supervise merchants, and to collect taxes from merchants."

The great talent naturally knows the dangers of businessmen, so the corresponding laws have been established when the business group is established, which may not be perfect at present, but it is definitely much ahead of this era, and so far there is no big problem.

If there is any problem, you can also add it slowly.

"Not bad!"

Yan Zhenlin said, "Your Majesty's move has indeed solved many problems, but there is one thing that Your Majesty has not solved. ”
