Mr. Cen said angrily: "It's not like I don't agree with the implementation!"
Soon, Mr. Cen realized from Cen Qianyi's eyes, with a bit of disbelief, "Is this the final look of the scientific examination you want to implement?"
Cen Qianyi nodded.
"How unreasonable! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, doesn't give any face to the wealthy family?!"
When Cen Qianyi heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and reminded him, "Old man, the prince is the heir apparent."
"If my family is missing... if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to succeed, we will be indispensable!"
"Old man, His Highness the Crown Prince is different from the previous crown princes or His Majesty."
Cen Qianyi's voice paused slightly and continued: "His Royal Highness sat in this position without borrowing the power of any aristocratic family."
Mr. Cen and the other family heads present looked a little paler.
Yes, the biggest reliance of aristocratic families is that every emperor has sat in that position. More or less, aristocratic families have come forward to help.
But Zhao Jin really doesn’t have any at all.
The aristocratic family failed to hold Zhao Jin's bargaining chip.
Cen Qianyi knew from their reactions that they had understood, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that if the noble family recognizes this, he can forget about it."
"If not, he wouldn't mind checking everything out."
Mr. Cen was first humiliated and realized that Zhao Jin did not need to rely on the wealthy family at all. Then he suddenly heard the threatening words from Cen Qianyi's mouth.
Anger surged up, and without thinking much, he stabbed the ground several times, "What do you mean we know each other?!"
The faces of the other people were also ugly.
Because the family has been passed down for a long time, they are always a little arrogant.
Seeing this, Cen Qianyi felt ridiculous in his heart, "I think the Yao family is not the only one involved in this matter."
After saying a very meaningful sentence, Cen Qianyi confessed to several people, "I have been working hard recently and I feel a little unwell, so I won't stay with you much."
Cen Qianyi nodded to them and turned around to leave.
Several people rushed over eagerly, and finally left with a gloomy expression.
Two days later, there will be a court meeting.
Zhao Jin pressed his fingertips on the dragon case and said quietly: "I have decided to reform the scientific examination."
After he finished speaking, Xingmu looked around at the faces of the ministers in the hall.
Everyone knows what this reform is about. Officials from poor families will naturally not speak out against it.
The more scholars from poor families in the court, for them, it is a good thing.
As for the officials who came from aristocratic families, rarely did anyone speak out against it.
There was silence in the court, completely opposite to the previous situation where a number of officials stood up to object every time Zhao Jin mentioned it.
The corners of Zhao Jin's lips raised slightly, "It seems you don't have much objection."
Zhao Jin straightened his expression and listed his measures for reforming the imperial examination one by one, while staring closely at the courtiers below.
He not only limited the number of recommended places, but also required the scholars to pass the examination before they could participate in the examination, and then select the qualified talents through the examination.
At the same time, Zhao Jin also directly expanded the subjects of the imperial examination.
Two types of military examinations and industrial examinations were directly added. The former can be used to join the army, while the latter is specially used to select talents for the Ministry of Industry.
"Your Highness, I think there may be something wrong with selecting people to join the army through military examinations." Ma Yan frowned and stood up.
Zhao Jin was not surprised and smiled, "General Ma, what do you think is wrong?"
"Most military generals are promoted through military merit. It would be too biased to make them officers just because of their strong martial arts skills."
"General Ma is overthinking." Zhao Jin said unhurriedly: "The martial arts examination is to select generals with strong martial arts skills and potential. Moreover, the selected people will be directly awarded some small officer positions."
"Then arrange for training in various places and slowly cultivate them."
Ma Yan is still stubborn, "There is no need to waste manpower and material resources. There are already enough people promoted from the army by setting up military examinations."
"General Ma, not all officers are directly promoted from soldiers." Zhao Jin frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Not to mention anything else, at least except for the border, many officers in other places are directly appointed relying on patronage."
"Now we just cancel this and let them all select talents through military examinations to better discover and cultivate those with general talents among them."
Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward, and asked: "Or, General Ma feels that the descendants of directly appointed military generals in the DPRK are more talented and outstanding generals than those selected through military examinations.
More appropriate?"
Three "updates" between the two left Ma Yan speechless.
With Ma Yan being the first person to be beaten to a pulp by Zhao Jin, the others wisely kept their mouths shut.
As for the subjects specially opened for talents selected by the Ministry of Industry, most of the courtiers had no objections.
The Ministry of Industry used to have the lowest sense of existence among the six ministries, but since the explosives were tinkered with by Zhao Jin, and then cement and other materials appeared, the status of the Ministry of Industry has skyrocketed.
It is not a bad thing to specially train such a group of people.
Furthermore, most of the civil servants in the court were Confucian disciples and had little interest in the strange and obscene skills of the Ministry of Works. Zhao Jin did not reduce the number of people taking the imperial examination by setting up the work examination.
As for these scholars, it is basically impossible for them to participate in the labor examination. Most of them are from poor families, or the descendants of incompetent families. They really have no ability in studying, so they can consider the labor examination.
All in all, the establishment of work-related examinations did not hinder the interests of these people.
There are martial arts exams, but because of Zhao Jin's ruthless attack on the Yao family in the previous game with the wealthy civil servants, the generals were quite hesitant.
After Ma Yan was severely criticized by Zhao Jin, no military commander raised any objection.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Yao family's incident had a good warning effect on these people.
How did he know? It was because he told Cen Qianyi to tell him, "If you don't know the truth, I don't mind checking everything." This sentence frightened all the officials.
The Yao family was overthrown, even if there were too many dirty things done by the Yao family.
But the Yao family are not fools. If they do these things, they will definitely clean up their tail.
Even if they hadn't been cleaned up before, when Zhao Jin falls out with the wealthy family, the Yao family will definitely clean up the mess.
However, Zhao Jin still found out all these things.
In each family, who doesn’t have something to hide?
If I become the next "chicken", it will really be over.
These people were afraid that if they disagreed, Zhao Jin would be angered and Zhao Jin would attack them, so they did not dare to say a word.
