"You're right."

Ye Yu nodded, "However, if you want to adapt to the completely changed Southern Dynasty in the future, the imperial examination and education must be changed. ”

Although others are not very resistant to change, they are also worried that a sudden change will cause problems for the entire Southern Dynasty.

After all, not everyone thinks change is a good thing.

The old-fashioned vested interests, although also loyal to the Southern Dynasties, would not accept such a change.

"I didn't say I would change a word."

Ye Yu said and smiled slightly, "You should understand what I mean, step by step." ”

He understands very well that some things must not be changed overnight.

Everyone needs to have a process of adaptation, and even these people in front of them can't accept this all at once.

"Your Highness means ......"

Gongsun Ce's brows relaxed, "Release the news first?" ”

"That's right, if you want to change suddenly, don't talk about you, I can't stand it."

"Ling'er, you release some vague official information first."

Ye Yu said with a smile, "Let's just say that the imperial examination system will introduce a new way next year." ”

"The year after tomorrow? Isn't it too slow? ”

Gongsun Ling'er didn't understand this, and felt that if he wanted to change it, he had to change it quickly.

"No, education and the imperial examination are a big game of chess, and any sudden change will be opposed, especially those who are about to enter the official career."

Ye Yu explained, "If I want to move this, I have to have greater rights. ”

"Ascend to the king."

As soon as the two words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

They knew that since Ye Yu came back, there had been no mention of inheriting the throne of King Zhennan.

It has always been operated as His Royal Highness the Prince of the World.

Although he won the hearts of the people, he did not inherit the king of Zhennan, and he would always be almost meaningless in terms of majesty and power.

"Your Highness, is it finally about to begin?"

Zhao Wanjin said, only to see Ye Yu nodding.

"First of all, the problem of reform should be solved, how to change it step by step."

Ye Yu spoke, "After the plan is made, it will be my inheritance of the King of Zhennan." ”

He mentions it because it can be done now.

Because according to the news brought by Zhang Xingbang on the front line, Ye Lie now has only 200,000 troops left on the border line, and all the rest are withdrawn, either as peasants or transferred to the borders of several other vassal kings.

This means that as long as Ye Yu does not make the move, Ye Lie does not want to take care of himself.

On the contrary, because of the escape of the black tiger, the various vassal kings knew that Ye Lie's million-strong army was defeated by their own blow.

Even the technology of the musket will probably be taken away by the black tiger.

Then whether it is Ye Lie or several other vassal kings, they will enter the stage of "stealing development".

At this time, there is basically no problem for him to ascend to the position of the king of Zhennan.

They don't even signal that they want to attack or show that they want to be strong.

He originally thought that this time would come later, but after making such a fuss in the Jia Dynasty, it seemed to be ahead of schedule.

After sitting in the position of the king of Zhennan, he also has more room to play and solve the problems of the current Southern Dynasty.

Of course, in addition to the current industrialization and military problems of the Southern Dynasties, his next focus will be on Xishan Prefecture.

There are a lot of resources in the mountains, and such a treasure trove was only an obstacle before industrialization, but when it develops by industrialization, it is an endless resource.

As he spoke, the crowd began to discuss the issue of reforming education and the imperial examination system.

"In the past, after the imperial examination, the people had to go through the recommendation before they could enter the official career."

"If you don't have a recommendation, you can only go to a remote place to govern the village, and only after you can get a certain merit can you enter the official career."

Ye Yu spoke slowly, "In this way, it's easy to waste talents." ”

"Your Highness, I've thought about this too."

"But if you want to change it, I don't know where to start."

Kong Yi said.

He was the Ministry of Rites, the imperial examination in charge of education, and he was also a vested interest in the system.

But when he was young, he always had a heart that wanted to change.

"There is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself."

Ye Yu spoke, "The problem is that we use his way. ”

Then Ye Yu put forward his own idea:

Those who take the imperial examination first need to take a unified examination, such as the mastery and application of writing.

This section is not just about writing essays and verses, but also filling in the blanks for verse essays from the past.

It's just a guarantee that the officials who come in have enough cultural knowledge to be able to handle simple things.

Subsequently, a special examination was conducted for the six departments of the Ministry of Household Rites and Criminal Works.

This part tests the various problems that may be encountered in each department and his understanding of the department.

After passing the two-part exam, all of them go into the reserves, where they work for each of the different divisions.

A two-month work visit and a two-month character review. Those who passed stayed to become official officials.

If you don't pass, you have to start from scratch.

"I'm afraid it won't be solved within this year."

Zhao Wanjin frowned slightly as he spoke, and calculated as if he was dialing an abacus in his hand, "And the cost is a bit high, and it costs a lot of money." ”

"I know, it's divided into three parts, every three years."

Ye Yu explained, "The selection of officials must not be sloppy. ”

"Indeed, although everyone is loyal to His Highness, the ability still needs to be examined."

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Three years is not bad. ”

"Besides, father-in-law, I think your Bureau of Commerce needs to play a little bit of a role."

Ye Yu said.

"The Bureau of Commerce? What is the matter with the Imperial Examination and Commerce Bureau? ”

"Huan Ling'er, your newspaper also needs it."

Ye Yu added and said with a smile.

"I don't understand, you have to be clear!"

Gongsun Ling'er shook his head as he spoke, his face puzzled.

"I need to make everyone in the Southern Dynasty understand that being an official is not the only way."

Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "Being a businessman, being a farmer, being a literati and writing articles, you can all make money and have a certain status. ”

"This ......"

"With all due respect, even if we can accept it, I'm afraid some people can't."

Zhou Hao said, "Not to mention the importance of agriculture and the suppression of business since ancient times, the rights brought by the official position are also different. ”

"Then let the people speak."

Ye Yu said coldly, "Ling'er, your newspaper office, add a place to receive letters." Anonymous reports are accepted. ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was amazed.

"Didn't you have a complaint before?"

"Petition for the Common."

Ye Yu explained, "Zhangye, your secret intelligence network is always monitored, and reports are collected as an independent department. If an official does not do a good job and is reported or complained, then the money will be deducted and punished. I don't think anyone wants to be an official. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone almost burst out laughing.

Indeed, this is a good way to do it.

It is also thanks to Ye Yu that when he rebuilt the Southern Dynasty, he first established the secret guard yamen.
