Zhang Yuhang did not defend himself, and immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty understands everything clearly, and I surrender to you!"
"Aren't you going to continue to quibble?"
"Your Majesty has noticed these little thoughts of me, and I can't tell the difference!"
"Who do you think I am?" After hearing this, King Zhou became angry. He asked loudly: "The world, the world, who among you knows how heavy the burden of this world is?"
"With one careless move, everything is lost. But in front of me, not everything is lost, but the disaster of national subjugation and the danger of annihilation. Don't you want to depose these worms in the court one by one?"
He shook his head: "I also want to, but I can't do it. The aristocracy of the aristocratic family has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years. A blind killing cannot solve the problem, let alone push the aristocratic family into a desperate situation. It will only It makes today’s Great Zhou even more precarious.”
Zhang Yuhang immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say about the aristocratic family, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"speak!"
"The aristocratic family's stubborn problems are nothing more than two. One is their official system throughout the Zhou Dynasty. Although the forces are intertwined, they are basically all descendants of the aristocratic family."
"The second is land, which is the basis for their survival. If they want to deal with the aristocratic family, these two are problems that must be solved."
King Zhou's expression changed, and he asked: "Do you have any idea?"
At this time, Zhang Yuhang naturally had no need to hide anything: "First, it is the selection system of imperial officials. Nowadays, the government and the public basically promote filial piety and integrity to serve as officials. It is basically impossible for poor families and common people to become officials.
This will make the children of aristocratic families more powerful. In response to this, Your Majesty should adopt the imperial examination system. No matter the poor family, nobles or even commoners in the world, all have the right to study. When the time comes, it will be based on the skills the student has learned.
It is the best policy to make use of talents according to their talents, vigorously promote the children of poor families, and make common people officials as officials, so as to compete with the aristocratic families and balance the forces of all parties! "
"Imperial examination!"
This epoch-making official selection system was put on the agenda by Zhang Yuhang. History has proven that this is the best way to become an official.
Regardless of the right or wrong of this move, his appearance opened a channel for advancement for the people of the world, and becoming officials was no longer impossible for them.
From impossible, it became reality.
"Then how to implement it specifically? In the imperial examination, aren't the only people who can read and study are the children of the aristocratic families? They are the ones who will be selected in the end. What's the difference between Yu Xiaolian and becoming an official?"
Facing Zhou Wang's questioning, Zhang Yuhang nodded and whispered: "Announcement to the world, establishment of private schools, and enlightenment of people's wisdom are just relative to the current situation. I believe that the most important thing lies in another aspect."
King Zhou said: "Land annexation!"
Zhang Yuhang nodded: "Yes, only when people stabilize can they have a foundation for development, and studying is a matter of decades or even a lifetime. If you act too hastily, you will only lose more than you gain!"
"Whether it's studying or annexing land, the directions are different, but the enemy we face in the end is the same."
The aristocratic family, this is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented.
The problem is back to its original point.
King Zhou closed his eyes and said, "It's up to you to handle this matter. I'll wait for your results!" '
Zhang Yuhang didn't know how he left the palace, but it wasn't until he walked out of the Forbidden City that he finally settled down.
In fact, everything he said was not shocking. Except for the imperial examination system, which was a bit eye-catching, His Majesty did not have no answers in his mind.
But in the end, he neither held himself accountable nor cared about what he did next, and just let himself leave!
"Master Qianhu, Master Sizheng is waiting for you!"
Under the city tower, a Supervisory Heaven Guard walked up to Zhang Yuhang and said slowly,
"lead the way!"
Zhang Yuhang followed closely and saw Zhao Yueming in a small alley not far away.
At this moment, except for the trace of blood on his forehead, there was no change at all. He still looked gentle and elegant.
"You don't seem to be surprised by my identity!"
Zhao Yueming looked at Zhang Yuhang, his lips parted slightly,
Zhang Yuhang: "I was surprised just now, but you just didn't see it."
"What did His Majesty say to you?"
"He saw through my thoughts and gave me a severe scolding."
Then he thought thoughtfully and said: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the aristocratic family is very ambiguous. He wants to rely on them but also wants to constantly weaken them. It is very contradictory."
Zhao Yueming nodded: "This is his character. Aristocratic families are unreliable."
"Since he is willing to give us this opportunity, this birthday banquet must be done well. I will be fully responsible for this matter. As for the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, you can make arrangements and involve Liu An. "
"Assassinating the emperor is enough to kill the nine tribes. Even for the sake of the late Xingyong Marquis, everyone in the Marquis's family will die. I guarantee you this. Your Majesty knows your plan and knows that you are using him. The fact that he is still willing to let you out shows that he has made a choice in his heart."
"So, after avenging your revenge, you must work wholeheartedly for Da Zhou. As you said, we are the same kind of people, do you understand?"
Zhang Yuhang's expression showed a trace of uneasiness, but he still responded: "Yes, I obey my orders!"
After Zhao Yueming said these words, he left directly with the others, leaving Zhang Yuhang alone in the alley.
From all the changes today, Zhang Yuhang felt deeply uneasy, not because His Majesty had seen through his plans, but because almost all of his arrangements had not been deliberately concealed from him, and he was not surprised at all when he was discovered.
What surprised him was Zhao Yueming, Lord Sizheng known as the Living King of Hell.
It was true that he was a little confused.
Even, a little scared.
It was a bit hard to say something that frightened a person who had already died once, but it made him dare not relax at all.
With this uneasiness, Zhang Yuhang did not return to the Hou Mansion, but walked around and came to the small courtyard.
In the study room.
Xiao Ma looked at the young master sitting in front of the desk in a daze and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yuhang came back to his senses and said to Xiao Ma:
"I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted."
"By the way, besides the Quyuan plow, there is one more thing I asked these people to make before. How is it going?"
Xiao Ma: "Of the ten craftsmen you brought, three of them made the curved shaft plow, and the effect was remarkable. What the remaining seven people researched has been developed according to the formula you gave, but because this is within Kyoto, Where there is no experiment, we really don’t know how effective it will be.”
"Tomorrow, take two of them with you, sneak out of the city gate, find a secluded place outside the city, test the effect, and report back to me as soon as possible!"
Seeing how concerned his young master was, even though he didn't know what the thing was used for, he didn't dare to delay and agreed immediately.
