"Wow! Is this going to give the ministers a warning?" Wei Feng was secretly proud in his heart. He was worthy of being the woman he liked. Unlike ordinary humans who shrank, he dared to say and do it. This is the woman who is suitable for standing by the king.

"Love...you, planning your own affairs in his position and being pragmatic is the style of my minister in the East China Sea. It's okay to report anything." Wei Feng looked at Jialan with a smile.

Jialan rolled her eyes in her heart.

My Emperor, don’t be so serious in the court, can you win? Especially your handsome face that is so beautiful and angry with the gods. If you really lure me to come, it wouldn’t be appropriate to rush over and pounce on you in front of so many people.

"I have suggestions!" Jialan tried to pretend to be serious and didn't want people to laugh at it. After all, he was a second-rank official in the court, so he naturally had to take responsibility.

More importantly, she promised Long Kun, so she naturally couldn't go back on her promise.

"Now, all the Imperial Examination Systems are implemented in the East China Sea. Although such a system is good, it naturally has its drawbacks." Jialan was not as weak as a woman, and her aura was extremely strong at this time.

"Little girl, why did the rules left by our ancestors become a disadvantage because of your yellow and white teeth?" Duke An Guo whispered, but in fact, this so-called low voice could be heard clearly, whether it was Wei Feng or others.

"So I dare to ask Duke An Guo, who is a capable minister and a slander?" Jia Lan said coldly.

"This..." Duke An Guo didn't expect that she would ask such an indisputable question, and was at a loss for a moment. Just as he was playing with his life and thinking about the words, Jialan had already started to answer.

"The so-called slander ministers are those who follow the old age. They just keep the rules of their ancestors and rely on their old capital, but they will never be able to lie on the credit book. Society is developing and people are changing. How can the country stagnate because of the so-called loyalty? No rules can be unified for thousands of years. Only by constantly changing can the country be prosperous and strong!" Jialan said loudly.

"The so-called capable ministers are those ministers who always calculate the safety of the country. In order to benefit the welfare of the people and the country for thousands of years, they dare to be the first to try the new things. Only those who try the law with their own eyes are real heroes!"

Wei Feng secretly applauded in his heart, a courageous woman!

"Duke Anguo only saw that this official was a woman, but who had heard that a woman could not be an official? The article in the "Donghai Law" says that a woman could not be an official. Since Your Majesty trusted me, then the weak minister would have to cut off the rotten flesh from the state machine and rejuvenate the Donghai Guo! Education is the foundation of the country. My official talks about education reform, and he didn't even say the details. How could it become a saying that a young woman had yellow mouth and white teeth?"

Jialan hadn't scolded enough, but Duke An was already trembling with anger, and he was about to faint. As a result, Duke An was afraid that no one would dare to speak to him like this! Now that he is so old, he is just thinking that he has some forces in the court to arrange all his children and make him go back to the west, but he unexpectedly asked a little girl to scold him today. Although there is no dirty word, every sentence is scolding him with a blind eye and short-sighted look.

"In the current imperial examination, the content of the examination has become rigid, and only requires candidates to create formal articles, but do not value the actual knowledge of the candidates. Most readers are gradually bound by the narrow Four Books and Five Classics and the pedantic eight-legged essays; whether it is vision, creativity, and independent thinking, they are greatly limited. Most people regard passing the scientific examination as their only purpose, and study only to be an official and to glorify their ancestors. In addition, the imperial examination also limits the way out for talents."

Jialan ignored Duke An and was trembling, and after looking around, he talked loudly again.

"The next step is the drawback of the imperial examination system!"

Wei Feng nodded secretly. In his opinion, the imperial examination was already a very advanced system. After all, tens of thousands of years ago when he was still learning knowledge, human beings had just climbed down from the tree. All knowledge was limited to the desire for strength and the growth of level, and there was no such thing as complex politics.

Jialan is different. She grew up in an era of information explosion and basically contributed to schools in the first twenty years. Naturally, she has a lot of complaints about exams. Now, she can take advantage of the fact that the imperial examination system has not yet formed a big trend and quickly kill it. Otherwise, I wonder how many young men of age will be ruined on this road.

"Mr. Shangshu said it is reasonable, but without the imperial examination, how can talents be selected?" Liu Shangshu obviously did not expect that this female sect could actually say such criticism of the current situation. In fact, he had long discovered the disadvantages of the imperial examination system, but he was born here, so it was difficult to break up his own positions.

"Set up a school!" Jialan was waiting for someone to support her.

"There is Tai Academy in the Imperial City..." Liu Shangshu was about to explain.

"No! The school I am talking about refers to a commoner's school!" Jialan said loudly, "Although Tai Academy has a strong faculty, it recruits very few people. However, it is only one for all children of appropriate age in the imperial city, and there are clear restrictions on bloodline and family. In other words, only noble children or royal children can enter the [Harmony] study. It is better not to have such a college, and it will not play any role in improving the quality of the people!"

"You..." An old man with a gray beard stepped forward, and his trembling hand pointed at Jia Lan, "It's nonsense! The emperors of the East China Kingdom [Harmony] all graduated from Tai Academy! That is the eternal pride of my Tai Academy!"

Although Jialan didn't know him, he knew as soon as he said this, that this person might be the dean of Tai Academy or something, so his words hurt the old man's self-esteem.

That will also be hurt!

"So what?" Jia Lan showed contempt. She disliked this old scholar who was full of words the most. "The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat! The people are the heaven. If education is limited to the royal family, why do the people pay taxes? Since taxes are paid, why can't they enjoy the right they deserve!"

These remarks immediately made the court full of turmoil and gave the people the right. These remarks were unprecedented and unseen! They simply subverted the three views of all officials.

"So what I said about building a school is to popularize compulsory education in the East China Sea! All children of appropriate age, both men and women, must undergo compulsory education for nine years. It is divided into two parts: six years in primary school and three years in middle school. After nine years of compulsory education, the imperial examination will be conducted to select talents!" Jialan said.

"Isn't this the imperial examination? What's the difference? It's just a waste of financial and material resources!" In some corner, a voice came out, and then countless voices of echo came out.
