Facing the gazes of several people, Guan Ning said calmly: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what can I do if they stop taking the exam?"

Several people looked stunned.

I didn't expect Guan Ning to say it so casually.

This is simply not the way to handle things.

Matsunaga thought that His Majesty was young and did not know the seriousness of this matter.

The imperial court finally offered an exam, but no one responded, and they all stopped taking the exam.

The biggest impact is on the court's credibility.

Then those officials who did not support the implementation of the New Deal would seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation to make suggestions.

That’s not just the city of Shangjing, but the whole country!

How big of an impact will this have?

It will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the public, which pales in comparison to the current situation.

Matsunaga did not dare to speak too directly, so he just said euphemistically: "Your Majesty offers Enke, but no one takes the exam. Doesn't this embarrass you?"

"It doesn't matter."

Guan Ning said casually: "I'm not afraid of being slapped in the face."

"Slap in the face?"

They don't quite understand what this word means.

"It's what you call embarrassing."

Guan Ning said: "The cabinet drafted the decree and the Ministry of Rites announced it publicly, saying that I am ready to open the Enke to recruit scholars."

"What if there is a large-scale boycott of exams?"

Matsunaga is still worried. He must anticipate a solution in advance. By then it will be too late...

"Those who stop taking the exam will cause harm to three generations and will not be considered for reference and will not be hired by the court."

Guan Ning opened his mouth, causing several people to change their expressions slightly.

This is the solution.

You have to stop taking the exam.

Well, I'll let you stop until the end. Fortunately, you won't have to take the exam.

Disaster for three generations!

In other words, starting from you, your sons and grandsons are not allowed to refer to it.

The imperial court will not hire you either.

If you can handle it, then don't you think about your future generations?

If you learn well, you will become an official.

Under the national conditions of officialdom, being an official is the pursuit of most people.

If you have the guts, just fight to the end.

Of course the demand is mutual, but the initiative is still with me...

Guan Ning even hoped that someone would stop taking the exam, so that he could use reasonable means to eliminate a group of people.

As the ancients said, the poor in culture and wealth in military affairs.

Is this really the case?

In fact, he is rich in culture and martial arts.

There are only a small number of nobles from poor families, and it has always been the wealthy families who have the right to interpret knowledge.

It is these people who are truly dissatisfied.

Guan Ning just wants to eliminate this group of people so that people with lofty ideals from poor families can come forward.

This changes the changes in social class.

Is it really absolute to stop taking exams?

Like those who come from poor backgrounds and study hard for ten years, will they really give up taking the exam for the sake of their future?

Of course not!

They will only desperately seize the only way to rise.

It is enough for Guan Ning to ask for these people.

So, he didn't panic at all.

It would be a dream to try to make him compromise by stopping the exam.

He is not the second Yongzheng, let alone Qianlong.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Guan Ning said: "Don't say anything about my decision for the time being. We will wait until the specific method of scientific examination is announced."

"Scientific examination method?"

Lu Zhaoling heard the implication.

"Could it be that you want to change the imperial examination process and reform this aspect?"

"certainly."

Guan Ning said: "Those selected by the traditional imperial examination are pedantic people who are restricted in their thoughts and only know the basics."

"Of course there are excellent ones, but the proportion is too small in comparison. Therefore, I have to make reforms, not only the methods and procedures, but also the specific scientific examination content. I will make detailed plans in this regard..."

Several people looked at each other.

This change is too big.

"Xue Huairen, the cabinet notified Zhou Mu, the chief official of the twenty-five states, to come to Beijing. I want to make arrangements for the scientific examination."

"yes."

With every word he spoke, no one else could get a word in, nor could they keep up with His Majesty's thoughts.

Fortunately, they are used to it, and this is His Majesty's consistent style.

The original Dakang had a total of thirty-six states.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, Guan Ning gradually reformed and merged the original thirty-six states into twenty-five states.

Make administrative planning more systematic and reasonable.

There are six prefectures in the east, west, south and north, plus one central prefecture.

He wants to summon all the state pastoral officials to Beijing. It seems that His Majesty is really going to take action...

Opening Enke to obtain scholars has been put on the agenda.

Next, Guan Ning arranged many things.

Basically he speaks and others listen.

It doesn't matter if you can't keep up, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do as you are told.

The proceedings are over.

All the ministers went to deal with it immediately.

Guan Ning also needs to be involved, because these are brand new things and only he knows how to do them.

The first thing to do is to publish the first issue of the official newspaper as soon as possible.

Special tasks are handled specially and the efficiency is very high.

The Ministry of Rites has newly established a Propaganda Department, which will be responsible for all publicity matters of the imperial court.

This is a major change.

The Daning official newspaper was located under the Propaganda Department and was organized as quickly as possible.

In accordance with Guan Ning's requirements, all professionals were selected.

There are those who edit and write articles, those who are responsible for external publicity, those who are responsible for proofreading, and those who are responsible for printing...

In just a few days, a mature team was established.

On the day of establishment, Guan Ning came in person. He wanted to provide guidance and training to these people, and at the same time, he also determined the content of the first phase.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites also officially announced its recruitment of lecturers.

This incident caused quite a stir.

In front of the bulletin board, there were many people watching, and they were all talking about it.

"Did you see the requirement? It requires literacy and rationality, and any child or scholar is welcome."

"Jinyiwei was arresting people like crazy just a few days ago, and now they want to use people. What do you think of us?"
