The villain becomes a heartthrob after being reborn

The old prince could hardly hold the pen in his hand: "What, you want to abolish the hereditary system and implement an imperial examination system?"

Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Of course, why do people from those aristocratic families have been able to be officials for generations, but instead buried the truly talented people. I want to make exam questions, let them take the exam, and let the top ones be my subordinates!"

The old prince: "Son, are you determined to fight against the aristocratic family?"

Although the previous step-by-step system of tax collection would make the aristocratic families less money, it was fundamental and would not shake their foundation at all.

But this time the imperial examination system completely overturned the power that the family relied on for development.Zhao Guo's current official positions are hereditary, and are inherited by the eldest son of the family. Generally, when the father retires, the son takes the position.This has been passed down from generation to generation, and civilians who want to be officials are basically dreaming.

The passage leading to the top was blocked by the aristocratic family. Zhao Yueyao wanted to open up a new road, which was destined to be full of thorns and blood.

Zhao Yueyao: "I'm not afraid, dad. They dare to occupy the fields and tie me up. As long as they have the opportunity, they will rebel. If we don't take advantage of the rectification now, we will all become ghosts under the family tree in the future."

In the middle and late period, drought and smallpox came, and the whole Zhao country was in chaos.The king of Zhao died suddenly, the aristocratic family was fighting for power, and the little Nanyue was nothing.

If he didn't hold all the forces in Nanyue in the palm of his hand, Zhao Yueyao would rather run away directly than to be a target here and be beaten by all forces.

The old prince didn't say anything, he just touched Zhao Yueyao's head lightly, and sighed: "You are right, the father is old, and the father only wants to be safe, not to fight with them. But I didn't expect , Conceding again and again will only make them push forward, you can do whatever you want. This time, in the selection of officials, just choose those young men who are pleasing to the eye, talented, and passionate!"

Zhao Yueyao just felt sore nose: "Father, you are not old. Yaoer will be filial to you in the future."

The old prince sighed: "Okay, our Yao'er has grown up. If the eldest girl of the Zhou family is willing to marry you, maybe I have grandchildren."

Zhao Yueyao also felt pity, pity that Zhou Qishi is not a girl.He coaxed the old prince: "Okay, I will marry a gentle and virtuous girl who looks like a fairy in the future, and let her be filial to you, okay."

The old prince was seldom coaxed by his son. He knew that Zhao Yueyao was perfunctory, but he still felt comfortable in his heart, as cool as drinking iced sour plum juice, happy!

The first thing Zhao Yueyao did was to withdraw all the positions that could be bought with money in Nanyue and return the money to them.

Afterwards, various information about the examination was promulgated, and five books were designated, from which the content of the examination was extracted.This content was selected by more than a dozen people.

As soon as this flimsy notice came out, a huge wave erupted throughout Nanyue, and everyone in the streets and alleys was discussing this matter.

Before that, the ascending channel was basically blocked.Children are who they are as their parents.Civilians will always be oppressed, and there will be no day of recovery.

And the aristocratic family can develop and grow, and it will not decline for a long time because they can pass on the official position from generation to generation.

Zhao Yueyao's change completely made him a thorn in the side of the family.

In order to select talents as much as possible, Zhao Yueyao paid for the printing of thousands of these five books, and ordered bookstores to sell them at a low price, so that most people could afford them.

Just after dawn, there was a long queue at the door of the bookstore, and they all came to buy books.

Zhou Qishi is also reading books, he has grown up very fast, and he can draw inferences about the problems that the husband said.Often when Zhao Yueyao is still biting the pen and thinking, he has already finished writing, and he can still write one, two, three.

Because of Zhao Yueyao's reform, Zhao Si was also considered a victim.He himself is He Da's adopted son and heir.In addition to being in charge of the soldiers in the palace, he was sent by Zhao Yueyao when he was free, and he also went to the military camp for drills.

In terms of leading soldiers and martial arts, Zhao Si is extremely talented.But on the text, he was just a mess, and he could barely read a few words, but he refused to learn it any more.

Now, if the barracks wants to successfully inherit He Da's position, Zhao Si has to study hard.

"Hey, don't always pull your face. What you have learned is simple enough."

Zhao Yueyao dishonestly poked Zhao Si with a pen, Zhao Si hadn't smiled for five days, and turned around sullenly.

There was no other way, so Zhao Yueyao had no choice but to harass Zhou Qishi: "Will you be able to pass the exam in a month's time?"

Zhou Qishi put down his pen: "Are you worried about me? Just do your best and obey the destiny. If you fail the exam this year, I will continue to take the exam next year. One day, I will be your man."

Why is it so strange to say this: "It's not my people, but my subordinates, you are so annoying."

Zhou Qishi smiled and said nothing, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the tenderness in his eyes.

A month passed quickly, and Zhao Yueyao knew that someone outside hated him so much that he didn't dare to go out, and dealt with various affairs in the mansion all day long.

All in-service officials also have to take exams, but their difficulty will be much less difficult, and some practical cases will also be added.Those who did not pass the exam would be dismissed from their official posts directly, and the people below would be replaced.

For a while, the whole Nanyue was panicked, and someone tried to find the old prince and ask him to put pressure on Zhao Yueyao.Unexpectedly, the old prince said he was sick a long time ago and would not go out, and left everything to his subordinates to do.

As for the people headed by Liu Fu, they had already asked their children to buy books to prepare for the exam.

When everyone looked at it, they understood the positions of several people. It seemed that the imperial examination system promoted by the young prince was imperative.

Liu Fu's eldest son, Liu Yan: "Father, didn't I say that I want to go to the capital? When the time comes, I will ask my uncle to recommend it to me. I will start from a small official and work my way up."

Liu Fu: "The situation in Kyoto is changing now, what's wrong with staying in Nanyue?"

Liu Yan was about to go crazy: "I can only climb up when the situation changes. Dad, have you been bewitched by Zhao Yueyao and asked me to assist him?"

Liu Fu said with a straight face: "The little prince is completely different from before, believe me father, if you want to show your strengths, you must be right to stay in Nanyue."

Seeing his father's expression, Liu Yan realized that things cannot be changed.I dare not say any more.

"Father, stop scolding big brother."

Liu Yun, Liu Fu's youngest son, showed his head timidly from behind the door: "I'm going to take the exam too. If I pass the exam, I can help you guys."

Liu Yan said angrily: "Are you going to take the exam? You can't even recognize the classics and history collections. You only know how to fiddle with your stuff all day long, which makes people laugh out loud."

Liu Yun was ridiculed mercilessly, his face turned pale, and tears filled his eyes on the spot.

Because Liu Fu's eldest son lost his mother when he was young, he is smart and talented, so he loves him very much.I didn't expect him to be so proud of his talents, even his own younger brother looked down on him: "Nizi, you go to kneel in the ancestral hall tonight, no one can give him food if you don't reflect on yourself."

Liu Yan glanced at Liu Yun, and left without saying a word.

The exhausted Liu Fu sighed, and said to his youngest son: "Don't take your brother's words to heart, it's good for you to go to the exam. Yun'er, call your mother, let's have dinner together tonight."

Liu Yun nodded foolishly: "Okay, Dad, my mother must be very happy."

There are only three subjects in the exam, Zhao Guo's laws and regulations, arithmetic, and some miscellaneous folk knowledge and customs.

Zhao Yueyao wanted to choose not only talented people, but also people who could serve the people of Nanyue.

What is unexpected is that even if the difficulty is lowered, nearly one-third of Nanyue officials have been brushed down.It is conceivable how these people do things on weekdays.

The old prince was furious, originally he still couldn't bear it, but now he just regretted not getting rid of those people earlier.

Anyone who passes the exam will be offered a job right away.Some of those who passed the exam were children of aristocratic families, and some of them were commoners.

"Azhao, you actually passed the exam!"

Ah Zhao, who was wearing bunt and holding a bamboo basket in his hand, looked at his name on the list stupidly, and was a little confused with joy.

When he was young, his family sent him to school for several years.I don't ask for anything else, I just want him to learn how to read a few words. If he is lucky, he can be a shopkeeper in the city. If he is not lucky, he will not be deceived.

Such a simple wish made Ah Zhao different from the children in the village. After studying for two years, he was beaten with a bamboo board by his teacher, and he also understood a lot of things.

Later, because Shu Xiu was too tall, Ah Zhao went back to the village to farm.At the very beginning, there were rumors in the village that Azhao's parents were fools, and that they were burning too much money.No matter how many books they study, they have been civilians for generations, and it is impossible for them to become officials.

Ah Zhao's mother was very aggressive, she rushed out and had a big fight with those gossip women, and then she calmed down a lot.

It was because Ah Zhao's father was young that he was coaxed into signing the contract and lost his ancestral home.That's why he vowed to let his children be literate and not to repeat the same mistakes.

When the news came that Zhao Yueyao was going to hold the scientific examination, Ah Zhao decided to take the examination himself.His parents refused: "Our family has nothing to do with each other, and we don't know any important people. Ah Zhao, you'd better stop wasting money."

Ah Zhao refused, he took out his savings for many years, bought those few books, and read them day and night.

In the end, he passed the exam!Although it is the last few, but no matter what, he will have an official position.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Zhao Yueyao asked those who passed the exam to report on their own, and also asked them to take a second re-examination. The main purpose of the re-examination was to see what jobs they were suitable for.

Those petty officials who were tempted and persuaded to resign by the aristocratic family will regret it.He clearly said that the little prince will definitely invite them back because there is no one and cannot promote the taxation system, and he will also raise their salaries by a bit.

Now, not only let the boys in the mine collect taxes, but also start to select officials? !

In all fairness, although due to Nanyue's financial constraints, the salaries of officials have been reduced.But compared to other jobs, they still prefer to be petty officials.Being able to receive invisible filial piety, and to say it decently, others dare not mess with them at all.

This official position has been handed down from their grandfather's generation, and it is impossible to go back now!

"My lord, at the gate of the government office, those little officials who resigned from office have returned. They said they want you to show mercy, and they want to come back and continue to work."

Zhao Yueyao looked up from the paperwork piled up on the table, holding a Zhu Zhu in his hand, very indifferently: "Oh, let them go."

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

Zhou Qishi just thought it was funny: "Yaoyao, you have a bad temper recently."

Zhao Yueyao snorted coldly: "I'm going to be so mad by them, write all nonsense. Can't you report things concisely?"

"The little prince is well, please take me to greet the prince. The weather is so hot recently, and my eldest daughter has learned a delicious soup from somewhere. After drinking it, she feels refreshed, and now I will send the recipe."

After reading this, Zhao Yueyao paused for a moment: "Then he wrote a soup recipe with a few hundred words, and then it's time to get down to business. Come here, send this document back, look at him, and let him drink ten bowls of soup on the spot !"

After killing chickens and monkeys, the subsequent documents really became concise.
