Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

In a blink of an eye, Su Yi has been sitting in the position of Shang Shuling for three years.

In the past three years, the bamboo slips that Su Yi gave to the six books at the beginning have been basically resolved.

After the Ministry of Industry improved the papermaking technology, it also developed many varieties in three years of continuous research and development. With various uses, even the toilet paper that Su Yi has been obsessed with has been researched.

At present, the new type of paper has completely replaced silk scripts and slips, and has become the main writing medium of Daliang.

At the same time, under Su Yi's instruction, the Ministry of Industry produced many new agricultural tools, and set up a special department to improve agricultural varieties.

In a few years, it has been quite effective. The newly cultivated new rice species has doubled the yield per mu, from [-] catties to [-] catties.

Not only that, Su Yi also specially promoted many poor children who understand farming, and asked them to collect various knowledge related to farming, and compile production technology knowledge in various aspects such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, sideline, etc., into a book " Farming" book.

And let the local officials in the prefectures and counties learn the above knowledge, and go to the villages to teach the techniques to the farmers.

These measures have greatly increased the efficiency of farming and the output of food. Today, farmers in most areas of Daliang no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

It also enables more poor families to have spare money to send their children to free schools. It is foreseeable that these children will become the new force of poor families after they grow up.

The Ministry of Punishment compiled a new law, which simplified the process of adjudicating cases and completed many contents of commercial law, civil law, and criminal law.

At the same time, Su Yi also sent people to form patrol officers to go to various places to check the cases, clear up the files, and find many unjust, false and wrong cases.

The Ministry of Officials was also on the right track. With the support of Emperor Liang and the operation of Su Yi, it gradually took charge of the appointment, removal, examination, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country, and it seemed to have become a very important department in the court.

Under the auspices of Su Yi, through the implementation of the land equalization system, most of the civilians in Daliang were counted as household registrations, instead of being recorded under the household registrations of powerful families as before.

After the implementation of the land equalization system, every household has land for the common people, and the aristocratic families can no longer embezzle taxes like before. The annual tax received by Daliang has doubled directly, so that the Minister of the Ministry of Households is very kind to see Su Yi every day, Laughing from ear to ear.

In the Ministry of War, Su Yi didn't touch much except for improving weapons. After all, this department was not easy for Emperor Liang to intervene.

If it grows up one day, it will definitely be the mainstay.

As for the Ministry of Rites, under Su Yi's plan, public schools were set up in various states and counties, so that students who are interested in studying can enter the study.

Not only are these schools free of tuition, but those with excellent grades can also receive subsidies from the school, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of poor students to study.

After three years of development, Shang Shusheng has become worthy of the name, and has truly become a behemoth in the court.

It also allowed Su Yi to grow from a newly promoted official who was temporarily promoted to a third-rank official with real power.

It can be said that although he does not have the name of a prime minister, he has the reality of a prime minister.

Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the number of children from poor families in the court has also greatly increased. Many of them hold real power and support Su Yi, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the court.

Su Yi knew that the time for change was ripe.

Finally, he proposed the imperial examination system in the morning.

At the beginning, the system of three provinces and six ministries was implemented very smoothly because it could vacate more official positions for aristocratic families.

However, seeing that the poor families are growing, if the imperial examination system is implemented, the poor families in the world will benefit the most. This violates the most fundamental interests of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family will definitely not sit still.

Sure enough, Zhao Situ was the first to jump out after hearing the imperial examination system proposed by Su Yi.

"The imperial examination system? Veterans oppose it!"

He reprimanded righteously: "The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is the etiquette established by the ancestors, how can it be easily replaced."

If you want to say who hates Su Yi the most in this court, Zhao Situ will definitely rank first.

Before the establishment of Shangshu Province, Emperor Liang had no real power when he was young, and he could be said to have single-handed control of the court. Unexpectedly, Su Yi used Shangshusheng to gradually evacuate him.

Zhao Situ only hated that he carelessly gave Su Yi a chance to develop, and made a tiger a trouble.

It was precisely because of his extreme hatred that every time he got a chance, he would jump out and disgust Su Yi.

Su Yi glanced at him, and said slowly: "Master Situ, today is different from the past, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system is brilliant, but it can no longer keep up with the current court's demand for officials.

Right now, a thousand things are waiting to be done, and Daliang is thriving. When talents are needed, the imperial examination system came into being. "

Zhao Situ said: "What came into being, I think it's clearly Mr. Su taking the opportunity to form a clique for personal gain and eliminate dissidents."

He stared at Su Yi, and said in a strange way: "Master Su has been proud of his spring breeze in the past few years, and his actions have become more and more inappropriate."

Not to be outdone, Su Yi showed a contemptuous smile, and said sarcastically, "I think Master Situ has lived more and more these past few years. He only does things based on his own likes and dislikes, without any regard for Daliang's interests."

This is a mockery of Zhao Situ bringing personal grievances to the court.

Zhao Situ's beard almost stood on end, and he said loudly, "Yellow-mouthed child, with sharp teeth..."

"All right……"

Emperor Liang said: "Don't hurt your family, I think the imperial examination system proposed by Su Aiqing is very good. I don't know what other adults think?"

The courtiers immediately learned from Emperor Liang's words that not only Emperor Liang had known about the imperial examination system, but it was probably even planned by him and Su Yi.

"Your Majesty." Grand Tutor Xie stepped out of the queue. He is a master in the literary world, a model of scholars in the world, and has always had a great say in the court.

"I believe that the imperial examination system is convenient, but it can only test the talents of school officials, not a person's character.

If officials with talents but no morals are selected, it will be a harm to the country. If things go on like this, the cornerstone of the great beam will surely be shaken. "

Su Yi's heart trembled. He was indeed a master in the literary world. He has been an official for generations and has rich experience. He was able to hit the nail on the head so quickly.

He pursed his lips and stepped forward to retort: ​​"Teacher Xie's words are wrong. There are Your Majesty in the court, and you are watched by adults who are as respected as you are, and you teach new officials by example. How can there be no morals?" What about people?"

"There is an old saying that living with good people is like entering a house of orchids, and it will bloom after a long time. Even if there are one or two talented people, I believe that he will be under the guidance of your majesty and adults. , on the right track."

He put a high hat on all the adults present, but unfortunately, no one appreciated it.

Officials from aristocratic families stood up to object one after another, citing scriptures, but they were all refuted by Su Yi and the humble officials he handpicked.

All of a sudden, there was a war of words and guns in the court, which was very intense.

But this situation was predicted by Su Yi in advance.

The imperial examination system has directly shaken the fundamental interests and cornerstone of the family, and he has long been prepared for the family's counterattack.

In the end, it was Emperor Liang who called to stop, and changed the discussion next time, and all the ministers survived.

"Master Su."

After the court, Su Yi was walking out slowly with his hands behind his back, but was suddenly stopped by several officials headed by Mrs. Xie and other aristocratic families.

Mrs. Xie's face was gloomy, she was not as kind as before, and said: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Su Yi smiled lightly, without any fear, "Of course I know, Su is doing his duty as a courtier, laying the foundation stone for Daliang's prosperity."

Zhao Situ said coldly at the side: "Have you thought about it, are you really going to betray the family?"

Su Yi restrained his smile and said solemnly: "What is betrayal? As a subject, it is my duty to be loyal to the country. In my heart, I only have Liang Liang."

Seeing that Su Yi refused to enter, everyone left in a huff.

At this time, a familiar footstep came from behind, Su Yi didn't turn his head, and whispered: "I'm sorry, father, I'm afraid my son will hurt the Su family this time."

Marquis Cheng An sighed, patted Su Yi on the shoulder, and said after a long time, "Do what you want."

Su Yi looked at the back of Marquis Cheng'an, and thought, "I'm sorry, father, I'm afraid I'll let you down this time too."

He walked out of the palace gate with his head held high, looking at the clear sky, knowing that a tough battle was about to come.

"Return to Cheng Anhou Mansion."

[Decided to close the net? 】

Su Yi sat in the sedan chair and nodded slightly, "After planning for so long, it's time to reap the rewards. I hope those aristocratic families don't let me down."
