"Imperial examination, what is that?" Barolo asked curiously when he heard this new term.
When Lin Yan mentioned that the best time for their action was the imperial examination that began the day after tomorrow, everyone was confused by this new term, and in the end, it was Barolo, the birdman, who raised questions.
"Well, it was an exam for ordinary civilians to select talents from outside the nobility, and I was inspired by the qualification exam in the Lion Continent, so I put this idea up and got Tang Jie's approval, and it was only implemented last year. ”
Hearing Lin Yan say this, the girls in the Lion Continent couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Because in the book records of Nazat, the Great Zhou Empire in the far east has always been an extremely civilized and prosperous place, and its culture is highly respected by many scholars.
Many things in the Lion Continent borrowed from the Great Zhou Empire, such as the use of manure to provide nutrients for crops. At first, when this method was passed on with the travelogue, it was despised by the people of the Lion Continent, and they really couldn't figure out why such a civilized and prosperous country would use such filthy things to water the crops used for food.
Luckily, the scholars at Nazat Academy, who have a very rigorous research spirit, have really done a meticulous and practical study of this cultivation method, and the results have surprised them.
The crops that were irrigated with manure yielded much higher yields than those that were not irrigated, and the taste was better than those without irrigation.
After this result came out, it caused a stir in the Lion Continent, and many people said that they could not accept it. Some countries have even banned the use of manure for watering crops.
But later, some countries in the Lion Continent had to use this method to solve the problem of food and clothing because of lack of food.
Soon, this growing advantage became apparent, and those countries were not only replenished with food. And there's something left. In the beginning, the food was only digested internally by the people of these countries, but in the commercially developed Lion Continent, these grains were soon introduced to various places in the Lion Continent with the flow of merchants.
Over time, this method of cultivation has gradually become embraced by the people of the Lion Continent, and even the most resistant countries in the past have vaguely allowed farmers to use manure to fertilize their fruit trees.
It can be said that the civilization of the Great Zhou Empire allowed the Lion Continent to greatly reduce the population restrictions caused by lack of food and feed more people.
In the eyes of the people of the Lion Continent, the Great Zhou Empire is such an extremely great civilization full of seductive and mysterious magic, and in fact, it is also true.
Until more than a hundred years ago. The Great Zhou Kingdom was torn apart and plunged into war.
War is undoubtedly the biggest destruction of civilization, and when Lin Yan went to the Lion Continent to study, she found that the civilization she was proud of had been eclipsed in Yibang, which also became one of the reasons why she was so eager to stop the war in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
After the war was pacified, the Great Zhou Kingdom was devastated because of years of tossing, and in order to quickly rebuild the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Great Zhou was in urgent need of talents. However, it is far from enough to rely on the nobles of the former and later Zhou states, and the large use of the original nobles of other destroyed countries is not only too much opposition from the nobles of the former and later Zhou states and the people. And it doesn't seem to be very reassuring, for this reason, Lin Yan was inspired by the level examination in the Lion Continent and proposed the imperial examination system.
Talents are selected from the people. On the one hand, a large number of capable and talented officials loyal to the royal family can be quickly obtained, and on the other hand, the monopoly of the nobility on official positions can be broken, and the commoners will also have the opportunity to carp into the dragon gate, so that they can see hope. It is conducive to buying the hearts and minds of the people.
Although this imperial examination is not very mature, for example, the martial arts examination is only in the form of a knockout in the ring, but for the Great Zhou State at this time. But it's a rare progress.
However, progress is not to everyone's liking, because the imperial examination hurt the interests of some nobles, and the world was initially decided, and the people's hearts were not convinced, so they were subject to various constraints in the implementation. Tang Jie was furious and cut down many officials to establish his authority, and forcibly transferred the imperial examination site from scattered places to Zhengluo to personally supervise the conduct of the imperial examination.
In this way, Tang Jie really selected a lot of talents that year. For this reason, the young emperor of the Great Zhou State optimistically estimated that if the imperial examination was held for another two to five years, the imperial court would be able to replace a group of new blood, and they would be most in favor of the imperial examination and would fully cooperate with their work.
For this reason, Tang Jie seemed very anxious, and coupled with Lin Wenhu's new death, he felt that he was obviously not reliable enough, so a few months after the first imperial examination, the second imperial examination was held. Although the two imperial examinations were of different years, the time between them was not long.
"Because the imperial examination is chaotic, it requires a lot of police force, and Tang Jie must personally supervise it, so the strength of the Hou Palace is insufficient, and it is the best time for us to save people and escape. ”
After listening to Lin Yan's words, the people present were deeply impressed.
"However, Tang Jie is not a fool, he should also know this, and he will be prepared accordingly, right?"
"Yes. Lin Yan nodded and said, "But there are three days for the imperial examination, Tang Jie can't guard me so closely at all times, we will have a chance." ”
"You mean we have to launch a surprise attack at some point in these three days, but we don't know what the other side is going to do, so what if we choose the wrong time?"
"Don't worry, I have my own way. ”
"There is another question, how do we escape after saving people?"
"I'm sorry, this is absolutely confidential, I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
"Cut, don't you even believe us?"
"It's not. Lin Yan shook her head, as if she was in a hurry to explain, "The sooner this most critical thing is exposed, the more variables there are, and ...... It's not for me to be the sole proprietor. ”
"Cut, okay, okay, I hope you're more reliable this time. ”
Everyone was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door.
Lin Yan made a gesture to stop talking, and then she turned into that kind of motherly temperament, and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
"The villain is Li Li. A familiar shrill voice came from outside the door, "I've brought you a few people to clean the room." ”
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, but she said calmly: "Then come in." ”
After getting permission, Li Li pushed the door open, followed by five small eunuchs of different statures.
When everyone entered the house, Li Li quickly closed the door.
Lin Yan looked at the five little eunuchs, her face was a little confused, as if she was hesitating about something, but Aite took the first step and stepped forward and shouted, "No ......"
It's too late, it's fast, Li Li just closed the door, and before those little eunuchs could react, he waved his hand again and again, and hit five palms in an instant, all hitting the back of the little eunuchs.
The five little eunuchs who didn't know the situation didn't have time to snort, and then fell to the ground on their stomachs, and there was no more sound. Looking at the five of them again, their faces were pale and bloodless, and they were obviously dead.
Li Li's cruel behavior shocked everyone present, except for Lin Yan, but the queen looked at the dead little eunuchs, and her face couldn't hide it.
"What are you waiting for, quickly pick up your clothes and change into them!" Li Li didn't care about everyone's eyes, just anxiously whispered to Jacqueline and the others.
