Lu Dai smiled faintly: "Mr. Lu, your Majesty will hand over the imperial examination to you, which shows your trust in you."

Lu You quickly saluted and said, "Mr. Lu is too honored, I am just a little lucky. How can I compare to Master Lu to be trusted by His Majesty?"

It is no secret that Lu Dai is a close minister of Lu Yu.

As the king of the realm among the Eighteen Kings of the Netherworld who first turned to Lu Yu, no one understood Lu Dai at first, but now everyone is amazed at Lu Dai's unique vision.

Before Emperor Qin attacked Youming, no one would have thought that he could sweep Youming at such a fast speed.

As a hero of Long, everyone can see that Lu Dai is the favorite of the future.

Lu Dai said: "I wonder how Lord Lu is planning to carry out the imperial examination?"

Lu You's face immediately became serious: "Only, we must have strict requirements for selecting talents for the country and ensure that we must be consistent with the standards of the heaven."

Lu Dai shook his head: "Didn't Lord Lu think deeply?"

Lu You was stunned.

Although he is also a top student in the younger generation, he did not think too deeply about it.

Lu Dai said: "Your Majesty will hold the imperial examination, one to select talents, and the other to appease the geniuses in the underworld. These people enter the government, have the luck of the emperor and have generous salary, so they will naturally return to their hearts after a long time.

.”

Lu You nodded and said nothing.

Lu Dai said in a deep voice: "But you should also consider the objective facts. All beings in the underworld have lived in the jungle law where strength is paramount since childhood. There is no Confucianism or Legalism here, everything is based on strength.

Lord, many people have not learned the things to govern the country and ensure stability.”

Lu You suddenly woke up: "You mean..."

Lu Dai said: "You should know that the Dayu court had a case on the north and south list."

The case of the North and South List refers to the imperial examinations in the 30th year of Emperor Gaozu of Dayu. Most of the Jinshi admitted were students from wealthy places such as the Northern Emperor Jing, Luoshui, and Lieyang. On the other hand, the harsh places of the south of the Manjiang and other places were

None of the students were admitted.

This incident aroused strong dissatisfaction among students in Manjiang and other places. They jointly wrote a letter asking for fair treatment.

In fact, students in these places are indeed excellent by martial arts. However, the training resources mastered by northern students who are in a wealthy place are naturally not comparable to those of the students of Manjiang.

What's more, most of the land in the Barbarians are deserted, and many places even live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and lack education, which leads to the fact that the literary examinations of Barbarians students are often unable to compete with students from the north.

Just imagine, if one is studying scriptures in the academy all day long, the other is hunting monsters in the wild forest, it is difficult to compare with the two people if they compete in writing.

In order to solve this problem, Emperor Gaozu of Dayu ordered the imperial examination to be divided into two parts: north and south, and divided into the northern and southern volumes according to different regions.

For places such as Manjiang, the difficulty of setting up the Southern Certificate is simpler than that of the Northern Certificate. At the same time, the quota is allocated, and it is stipulated that at least 30% of students from the Southern Certificate will be selected to become Jinshi.

Lu You nodded: "I naturally know that what you mean is to let me imitate Gaozu and set up a set of Netherworld scrolls?"

Lu Dai smiled and said, "I didn't say that the examiner appointed by Your Majesty is you."

"In addition, I would like to remind you one more. After Emperor Gaozu established the North and South Papers, some people took advantage of this loophole and secretly changed their household registration to Manjiang to obtain easier test papers. Every year, the Ministry of Rites will find a lot of them.

Those who change their household registration exams.”
