Chapter 802: A Clear Conscience

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Pu's lips: "Isn't this delaying our Majesty's blessing? Your Majesty cares about the people, and the land tax has been reduced again and again. Now, which family of the people can live without seven or eight pennies!"

Zhuge Liang muttered to himself quickly, and secretly calculated: "Only the city of Taishan Yetianwang alone can deposit tens of billions in one day. Even if the amount of deposits drops sharply tomorrow, there should be at least three to four billions!"

Zhuge Liang was extremely astonished: "Hundreds of county towns across the country have all deposited their money in banks, so let's build seventeen or eight new towns, let alone four or five, and there will be no problem!"

Ye Feng smiled lightly: "Kong Ming, if you play this way, our bank won't last long. What if we encounter a run on the bank and all the money is spent?"

Zhuge shouted and laughed: "Your Majesty, I'm just making an analogy, and I will never do that!"

Ye Pu sneered and said: "Kong Ming, you are so happy! You will talk nonsense. If you are asked to do this, you will definitely be very conservative!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed towards Ye Ye: "Those who know the light, the Prime Minister is also!"

Night Breeze waved his hand: "Okay, Zeping, go back and rest quickly, you'll be busy tomorrow, don't wear yourself out."

Ye Pu bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, then I will take my leave!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Pu bowed and slowly exited the hall.

Night Breeze turned to ask, "Kong Ming, where did we just talk?"

Zhuge Liang reminded: "Zhan, Your Majesty, we are talking about the introduction of talents from the west."

"Yep!"

Night Breeze nodded: "Wen Ruo sent two letters in a row, urging to send people to the Western Regions to assist in the construction. We must pay enough attention to this matter. You first draw up a talent introduction plan, and draw up various welfare systems."

Zhuge Liang nodded humbly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to do this matter, but besides this matter, there is one more thing, I think I should remind Your Majesty."

"Just tell me." Night Breeze said calmly.

Zhuge Liang exhaled a long breath, as if he had made a great determination: "Your Majesty, since I took up the post of personnel, I have been under a lot of pressure. Because I am young and highly valued by Your Majesty, I dare not be sloppy. Today, I have a clear conscience."

"But……"

Zhuge Liang suddenly changed the topic, and frowned slightly: "If I continue to work in this position, I'm afraid I will be driven crazy. I hope that Your Majesty can let me resign from this position and find another person with high morals and respect."

"In addition, a large number of students from poor families have been quite criticized. They have learned a lot, but they can't serve the country, and some of the aristocratic families who don't study well can easily obtain official positions."

"This point, I'm afraid there will be problems sooner or later!"

Night Breeze snorted softly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Kong Ming, in fact, I don't know how much pressure you're under. It's beyond my expectation that you can persevere until now."

Zhuge Liang was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what I want to say?"

Night Breeze nodded: "It's just selection and appointment, pressure from all directions, isn't it?"

Zhuge Liang took a long breath and nodded: "Exactly!"

The Celestial Dynasty was originally a relational society!

This is its characteristic, deeply intertwined, and it is difficult to completely eradicate it with a real system.

Even Night Breeze couldn't help this.

The cause of universal education has been carried out for many years.

Previously, due to Night Breeze's rapid development, the demand for talents increased sharply.

But now, after the unification of the world, there is still a gap in the number of talents needed, but the supply exceeds demand.

This is the source of the contradiction.

Ye Tianwang continued the official selection system of the Han Dynasty, and the system of inspection and recruitment.

So this is unavoidable.

And Zhuge Liang, the chief officer selected as personnel, can imagine the pressure he faces.

"Tell me, what do you think should be done?" Night Breeze asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, I believe that choosing a person with high morals and respect is the right way. I am too young. Whether it is the family or other officials and generals, I really have no way to deal with it." Zhuge Liang said earnestly.

"Substitution?" Night Breeze snorted, "This is just a solution to the symptoms, not the root cause, no!"

"That Zhuge Liang is silent, I don't know why."

"If you have no choice, I can provide you with one." After a pause, Night Breeze said softly.

Zhuge Liang was surprised: "Your Majesty, is there a solution?"

Night Breeze nodded: "Although it is impossible to cure it completely, it can ease the conflict between poor students and aristocratic families. At least for hundreds of years, there will be no major problems.

Zhuge Liang said in a hurry: "What way?"

Night Breeze replied softly: "Abolish the inspection and expropriation, and replace it with a system of selecting scholars!"

Zhuge Liang was not stupid. He immediately understood what Night Breeze meant.

In fact, he has never considered this method, but he has to admit that if this method is to be implemented, the resistance is too great. This is equivalent to eating meat from the bowl of aristocratic families. How could they allow it.

"Your Majesty, this method is good, I'm afraid..."

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Night Breeze immediately answered, "The resistance is too great, there is a way to overcome the resistance, and I have my own solution, you just need to cooperate with all your strength."

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes, hurriedly bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "I hope Your Majesty will teach me."

Night Breeze said softly: "Kong Ming, don't worry, this matter has to be discussed in the long term. When the matter of the bank is over, let's deal with it immediately!"

Night Breeze remembered clearly.

When he took Xiangyang back then, he had a conversation with Sima Hui. The content of the dialogue is precisely about the conflicts and conflicts of future talents.

Due to the popularity of the academy, Night Breeze knew that this kind of thing would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. The imperial examination system is imperative!

But its emergence requires a certain opportunity, so that the epoch-making reform can be completed with the least resistance.

Moreover, Night Breeze not only wants to reform the system of selecting officials, but also wants to reform the system in an all-round way.

The Confucian classics studied before is just a subject.

If you want to truly achieve success in your studies, you can serve the country. Only the classics and old masters are not enough. Mohism, farming, medicine, etc., all need to be integrated.

This will be an extremely huge project! Moreover, it is too strange for people of this era.

Ordinary people rarely accept new things directly, and most people accept them passively, and can only fully accept them when they really mature.

And this process of passive acceptance is exactly the process of a big explosion of resistance. Without a suitable point, it is difficult to smooth out these resistances so that the national policy can be implemented.
