Chapter 291 Improperly Being a Faint King (22)

"As long as you think you have superior intelligence, you can sign up. I will personally draw up a set of test questions, arrange the examination in a unified manner, and select the best candidates."

"If you have suitable candidates, you can directly recommend them. If you have children of the right age at home, you can also let them sign up."

"The minimum age for members of a think tank can be relaxed to 12 years old."

Considering that most of the children in ancient times were relatively precocious, Gou Xue set the minimum age at 12 years old.

"Of course, if there are talents with outstanding intelligence who are less than 12 years old, they can also sign up to participate. As long as they can pass my test, they can also become a member of the think tank."

Gou Xue made a supplementary explanation on the issue of the age limit, so as not to miss particularly young geniuses.

"May I ask how many people your Majesty plans to hire?"

Fu Hui asked a question.

"The specific number depends on the situation, but at least it will not be less than five."

Gou Xue hasn't figured out how to cap the number of people yet.

"Will the Holy One arrange the salary for those who are hired?"

Fu Hui continued to ask questions.

"I told you that the members of the think tank are not imperial officials, so how can they get their salaries?"

Gou Xue frowned on purpose, and then said word by word: "What I'm going to give them is welfare."

"Welfare?"

Fu Hui couldn't help but startled.

She didn't seem to have heard of the word welfare, could it be that "Xuanyuan Duxue" made it up by himself?

"You can think of it as remuneration to them, but it does not belong to official salaries."

Gou Xue didn't want to explain too much, after a brief explanation, he said in a serious manner:

"The specific benefits I plan to give them are to have a residence in the palace, to enjoy the meals specially provided by the imperial dining room, to have a fixed monthly fee and extra rewards every month. The more good ideas you come up with, the more rewards you can get." If they want to be officials, as long as they have made enough contributions and have a suitable official position, they can be exempted from the examination."

"What do you dear friends think of my idea?"

Gou Xue looked at them condescendingly, and said with a half-smile.

"I think it's very good."

Tan Pingping immediately agreed with a flattering smile.

Although it is inappropriate for a man to show his face, but she only has a son and no daughter, so how can she have any objections?
"The minister also thinks it is very good."

Other officials without daughters quickly followed suit.

"I don't think it's appropriate. Although the members of the think tank are not court officials, they can still participate in the decision-making of political affairs. How can men be allowed to participate in politics?"

Only the daughter's official A had the courage to raise objections.

"Why can't men participate in politics?"

Gou Xue's expression became serious, and before official A could answer, she spoke impatiently:

"If this Aiqing wants to say that a man without talent is a virtue, there is no need to say it."

She stood up and said impassionedly:
"Aren't men human? As long as they are human, they are my subjects. Shouldn't I treat all my subjects equally?"

"What's more, women are not the only ones who are outstandingly intelligent. Many men are actually well-read poetry and books, and are quite intelligent. It's just that men can't be officials, and they can't show their faces, so they become pearls in the dust. And I want these pearls. Is there anything wrong with replaying the light?"

Gou Xue's impassioned speech was resounding, with an undeniable majesty.

For a moment, needles could be heard dropping in the hall, but there was no sound.

"well said."

During the death-like silence, a clear and pleasant female voice came from outside the hall.

All the officials looked back one after another.

　Although this story is not over yet, a sequel to this story is already being conceived. Once the main text is finished, we will enter the sequel as usual.

　　However, I found that sometimes the number of words in the extra chapter is really difficult to control. In the future, I will only control the number of words in the main text. I don’t care about it. If there are more words, it will be divided into two to three chapters. If the number of words is less, it will not be separated. One thousand will do (lower than one thousand will affect full attendance).
