Ning Chen didn't understand what the generals meant, but Wu Zhao understood it very well.
"General Li, you went out to fight for the country, and I will pay the remaining twenty-seven thousand taels for you."
When General Li heard Wu Zhao's words, he quickly bowed and thanked him: "General, thank you for your grace. The general will definitely be Dawu and defend Dragon City for Your Highness."
After listening to Wu Zhao's words, Ning Chen also understood.
When General Li said one thousand taels, he meant one word, one thousand taels.
My seven-character quatrain has a total of 28 characters, totaling 28,000 taels.
Ning Chen suddenly liked the reflex arcs of these generals. If he had reacted faster, he might have seen his confusion from his micro-expressions.
By then, wouldn't it mean that I had lost twenty-seven thousand taels in vain?
An episode like General Li's undoubtedly pushed the mood of the banquet directly to its peak.
But as far as Ning Chen is concerned, this peak is not what he wants.
Although he got an official position and twenty-eight thousand taels, this was not what Ning Chen wanted.
Kong Jijiu did not stay here, and left the sage's book to Ning Chen as agreed.
Then he told Ning Chen and asked him to report to the Imperial College tomorrow, and then said: Come back.
He simply disappeared on the spot.
Wu Zhao did not continue to announce any new appointments.
Tonight was already a bit too exciting. Wu Zhao not only achieved his goal, but also greatly exceeded his set goal.
Of course, the ministers did not stay in the East Palace for too long.
There will be a morning court tomorrow, and it will be the first morning court hosted by Wu Zhao.
It is conceivable that tomorrow's morning meeting will definitely not be peaceful.
"Master Ning, please stay while we collect the banknotes for Master Ning." The eunuch next to Wu Zhao stopped Ning Chen.
"It's time to work."
After Banban left, a bunch of palace people came over to clean up the meal here.
Ning Chen took a pot of wine and sat at a corner pavilion, waiting for his money.
By the way, think about how you should measure your pretense.
Ning Chen actually felt that he performed very well today, and he directly established himself as a negative example of not respecting teachers and teaching.
Then there was Kong Jijiu's amazing assist, which directly put him in the position of Siye.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been too greedy. Shixian's poems are so easy to copy."
While thinking about it, he took a depressed sip of wine.
"Li Taibai, Li Taibai."
"Who is Li Taibai?" At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind Ning Chen.
Ning Chen turned his head and saw Wu Zhao, wearing a bright yellow uniform, appearing behind him under the moonlight.
It's just that although the regular clothes are loose, they still can't hide the several pounds of charm on Wu Zhao's chest.
"Your Highness, Li Taibai is a friend of the minister." Ning Chen explained to Wu Zhao.
"Oh, are you as talented in poetry as you are?" Wu Zhao asked.
"It's not bad, just a little bit worse than Chen." Ning Chen said boldly.
Anyway, we can't draw him into a confrontation, so Ning Chen can say whatever he wants.
"Sit down, I have something to ask you." Wu Zhao sat down first and motioned for Ning Chen to sit down as well.
Ning Chen sat back down again, and Wu Zhao asked Ning Chen: "I am very curious, what did you write in the book of saints at that time?"
"Your Highness, my poems are very expensive." Ning Chen said.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I don't want to hear it yet." Wu Zhao said angrily like a girl.
Wu Zhao was suddenly so childish, which made Ning Chen stunned for a moment.
Because according to Ning Chen’s current understanding of Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao is a strong heroine.
Wu Zhao secretly realized that he had just revealed some of his true self, and turned to say seriously: "Tomorrow in the court, I will announce the new examination plan.
On the basis of the Four Grids and Eight Methods, the evaluation system for officials will be more detailed and quantitative.
As Doctor Si Feng, this task will fall on you.
I will tell you first so that you can have an idea."
This...this is a good thing.
This is a completely offending job.
As long as you offend those people in the court.
Just to eliminate the influence of my saintly appearance.
If a few more corrupt officials are elected, they will be furious.
Although according to the rules, my reputation comes from being bound to the Dawu Dynasty.
But Ning Chen really didn't think that a few corrupt officials could bring down the Great Wu Dynasty.
What's more, if it really collapses, your [Nie] points will skyrocket, and you will become invincible on the spot, none of this will matter.
"I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness." Ning Chen stood up and said happily.
Ning Chen accepted it so calmly, which was beyond Wu Zhao's expectation.
"You have to understand that this is by no means a profitable thing in your eyes.
I had just taken charge of the government and implemented such a huge change.
It will definitely cause a violent rebound, and your position is like being roasted on a fire."
Ning Chen said impassionedly: "Your Highness, I never think this is a profitable thing.
I leave this matter to you, and I will do my best to select wise men for Dawu.
If during this process, His Highness discovers that the minister is corrupt, he will be willing to kill him immediately.
I even believe that the current examination system is completely insufficient to truly select and recruit talented people."
Ning Chen was suddenly so impassioned, which made Wu Zhao a little confused. However, Wu Zhao still planned to listen to what Ning Chen had to say about the exam.
"I believe that on the basis of the Four Patterns and Eight Dharmas, the Four Good and Twenty-Seven Supremes should be added. At the same time, the examination system should also be established in the national law to correct its majesty."
"Tell me first what the Four Good Twenty-seven are." Wu Zhao said to Ning Chen.
Then Ning Chen began to explain what the Four Good Twenty-seven are.
After Wu Zhao heard this, he looked at Ning Chen with confusion.
Wu Zhao felt that he had offended people by refining the Four Elements and Eight Methods.
Ning Chen’s Four Good Things and Twenty-seven are the most offensive.
But it must be admitted that Ning Chen's Four Good Twenty-seven are indeed more complete.
"Besides this, I feel that the five-year cycle law must be strictly implemented for the appointment of all officials.
Resolutely prevent local officials from having the opportunity to become the masters of a place.
At the same time, for those officials who think that they do not seek merit but seek no faults, and those who think that they can be promoted with just their qualifications.
I believe that they should also be held accountable for their inaction.
We can even include the local economy as one of the assessment items.
besides……"
Just when Ning Chen was about to continue speaking, Wu Zhao had to interrupt Ning Chen.
Wu Zhao already took a huge risk if he wanted to improve the official system.
If we follow Ning Chen's example, it would be strange if all the officials did not resign collectively.
"Master Ning's suggestion is very good, but I feel that things need to be done step by step. Let's start with the new version of the Four Grids and Eight Methods as the basis, and then we can gradually figure it out step by step in the future.
I have taken note of Master Ning’s suggestions, and if there is any need for them in the future, I will consult with Master Ning again.”
"I'm a little tired. Master Ning, please help yourself."
After saying that, without giving Ning Chen any plans to continue talking, Wu Zhao stood up and left.
Ning Chen watched the graceful Wu Zhao leave and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Ning Chen originally thought that since he was offended, he would be offended to death.
Within ten or eight years, I will not give myself a chance to clear my name.
In this way, maybe your [Niege] point can be more stable.
Ning Chen now also understands that the transformation of [Yin] point is indeed related to the true influence of the event.
But what is real influence?
The source of influence must come from people.
How a person sees it comes from his heart.
If Ning Chen offends him to death, the people involved in the incident, even if the incident is reversed and they feel bad about it, the reputation point of [Nieves] should be relatively stable.
It's just that Wu Zhao obviously didn't want to take such a big step, so Ning Chen had to be disappointed.
After Wu Zhao left, Banban came back and brought Ning Chen twenty-seven thousand taels.
Ning Chen took the banknote and left the East Palace.
After leaving the East Palace, it was already full of stars.
Sitting in his Maslais, all the way back home, the four sleepy little girls who had been waiting for him hurriedly boiled water for Ning Chen to change clothes and bathe.
Now the four little girls have to wait for Ning Chen to bathe and change clothes, no matter how late it is.
Otherwise they would never sleep.
Zheng Da is no longer swollen now and has entered the body quenching state stably.
But when it will reach consummation, Zheng Da himself doesn’t know.
In short, there is no need to cut himself anymore, this still makes Zheng Da feel very comfortable.
As for Ning Chen's martial arts cultivation, Zheng Da didn't know.
But Zheng Da could see the muscle lines on Ning Chen's body, which were becoming clearer day by day.
Zheng Da was not jealous at all about Ning Chen's rapid progress, but felt very pleased.
Zheng Da felt that introducing Ning Chen into martial arts was the best thing he did for martial arts.
The only thing that makes Zheng Da feel uncomfortable is that Ning Chen has begun to be lazy about martial arts again. Although he has reached the level of cultivation, he is completely unwilling to learn any moves. He does not have the practical martial arts skills. In Zheng Da's eyes, he is just a showman.
In fact, it's not that Ning Chen doesn't want to learn some self-defense moves, it's just that Zheng Da's moves are not aesthetically pleasing at all, and the names sound very brainless.
Thousand ox claws, bull tops, fire ox legs...
Those who knew it were moves, but those who didn’t knew it thought it was a recipe.
The key is that Zheng Da also said it in a serious way. Although the name is not nice to hear, it is easy to remember.
What else can Ning Chen say about this? I can only say that it is indeed easy to remember.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen, who was full of energy, was ready to face a new day as a powerful minister and sycophant.
Although Wu Zhao did not fully accept his suggestion, after today, Ning Chen was confident that he would definitely become the public enemy of all officials.
In the morning court, Emperor Shun did not even show his face.
Only Wu Zhao was sitting on the throne of the prince one floor below the dragon throne.
After the morning dynasty began, Wu Zhao officially announced the new appointments of Lin Dunxin and Ning Chen.
Although I found out last night, I still have to go through the process.
In addition to the new appointment, it is about General Li's expedition and the formal conferment of the title of Flying General.
The generals scolded him again, saying that little Li was too evil-minded.
After the appointment was clearly explained, Wu Zhao also announced the new version of the official examination system that he had discussed with Ning Chen last night.
This version is still somewhat different from what Wu Zhao told Ning Chen last night.
Although Wu Zhao did not fully accept Ning Chen's suggestions, he still absorbed some things and added them to his own exam class.
Although all the civil and military officials of His Highness knew that Wu Zhao would make some big moves after he came up.
I just didn't expect that this first step would take such a big step and directly bring about such a big change in the examination courses for officials.
Moreover, everyone has checked themselves and found that if they follow the new examination method, most of them will find it difficult not to say that they are rated as above or above.
As a result, at least one-third of the officials will face demotion.
