However, it has been so long since the founding of Chaoyang that the problem of remnants of the previous dynasty no longer exists. In order to obtain an official position, those lower-level officials had to spend a lot of money to pay bribes to buy an official position. After that, in order to get back their capital, they could only double their exploitation.
Such layer upon layer of exploitation and bribery not only drained the national treasury, but the people who suffered the most were the people. The water control project in Huayang City is the best example.
Why does the Huayang Canal flood every year despite embankments being built every year? Why does the plague plague every year and the court allocates so much money but still kills so many people?
The fundamental reason is that the orders cannot be issued, and most of the money allocated by the court is used by officials to enrich their own pockets so that they can collect enough money to be promoted."
"Han'er, what you said is so good!" Yuchi Haotian looked at Mo Zihan excitedly. She didn't expect that Mo Zihan could understand things so well. "Then what do you think I can do to prevent this kind of thing from happening?
?”
"I believe that the emperor should issue an order to find good ministers."
"What is Enko?"
"The imperial examination system under Emperor Long En is referred to as Enke."
"How do you say this?" Yuchi Haotian became more and more interested as he listened.
“There are so many students and capable people in the world, but because of the decadent official selection system, young people who are talented and willing to serve the country lose the opportunity to participate in running the country.
If the emperor decrees that talented people can enter the court through examinations and selections, it will surely inspire those talented people to serve the country.
Such an examination is held every three years, and is personally invigilated by the emperor. Only relatives of officials will be promoted unless they are truly talented. This will not only completely eliminate the buying and selling of officials, but also create a steady stream of new students.
Strength was injected into the officials of the imperial court. Over time, the officials of the imperial court were automatically replaced.
This will also avoid things like the situation like this time when half of the imperial court was overthrown in order to get rid of Xu Chengzhong. These talented people were personally selected by the emperor. They will definitely be grateful to the emperor and will be loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly.
As for generals, the same method can be used. I have heard that in the army, there are many generals who are Xu Chengzhong's disciples. Even if they are not disciples, they were promoted by him. Especially General Zhennan, the emperor has to guard against him.
"
After listening to Mo Zihan's words, Yuchi Haotian had an idea. He had always wanted to change the current situation of the court, but he was frustrated that none of the methods were feasible. If he suppressed it forcefully, he was afraid that these ministers would simply unite to force the palace. But Mo Zihan's method was completely feasible.
Bing Yizou replaced the ministers in the court who he didn't like one by one.
"Han'er, you are truly my think tank! From today on, I specifically allow you to intervene in government affairs!"
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Han'er doesn't want to be the kind of strong woman who participates in government affairs. Han'er is your woman. If you have difficulties, Han'er can think of a way and will definitely help you. But when it comes to court matters, Han'er
It’s better not to participate.”
Mo Zihan's words made Yuchi Haotian look at her with admiration even more. He grew up watching Mo Zihan and liked her just because she was good-looking. But he didn't expect that this woman was not only good-looking but also very useful.
.A woman who knows current affairs like this is really qualified to be a queen.
Seeing the sparkle in Yuchi Haotian's eyes, Mo Zihan just smiled in return.
In fact, how different is Enke from Recommendation? It's just a change of soup without changing the medicine, and the name is more pleasant.
