"I am deeply moved by the actions of the ministers who came back to the north and the west. They are my great loyal ministers."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, they immediately set their character for the ministers who returned to the north and immediately made them full of gratitude to the little emperor.

It also made them completely relieved.

From then on, there was no need to worry about what Nanming had done, and those who were trying to monitor surrender.

The political cleanliness of Minister Donglin of the Southern Ming Dynasty made the case of rebellion from the north not only caused the ministers who went through a lot of hardships and risked the south to suffer unjust injustice and suffered a huge physical and mental blow. It also made many people with ambitions with a heart of the Ming Dynasty disheartened.

Now, they can walk in front of others with dignity and say proudly: "I am a loyal minister recognized by the Emperor."

This laid a foundation for the future arrangements for them.

"But these ministers, after all, brought various disadvantages from the original court. For example, the party struggles that led to the destruction of the previous dynasty, and the habit of boasting about the country."

At this point, the knowledgeable people here have long hated it.

"So I and the Regent decided to let those officials and the world's students take the exam again this time. This time, I will not take the eight-legged essay to win the scholars, but this time I will directly take the national policy theory. At that time, those who are capable will go up and those who are not capable will go down. Those who will only talk big will retreat, and those who work hard to build a country will advance."

Just when the ministers were surprised.

Wang Xuejun took over the conversation: "Of course, the loyalty of those officials should be recognized and taken care of. Although they are not suitable for the style and needs of our current court for the time being. But the emperor and I decided to establish a Senate Council. Those who have not been appointed will take their original official positions to work at the Senate Council and get a salary. They will discuss the pros and cons of all the policies of our government, continue to serve the country, and be loyal to the emperor."

Don’t you like to talk big? Don’t you like to pick on it and oppose it for the sake of opposition?

Go there, blow tea, crack melon seeds, and spray each other.

Maybe, the shortcomings in the new policy can be sprayed out, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

As for that salary, it should be considered a bribe to people's hearts.

Wang Xuejun now implements three times his salary.

In other words, the salary of a fifth-rank official was originally sixteen stones, which was converted into silver, which was about fifteen taels.

Three times, it is forty-five taels of silver, and it is no longer converted to 70% off and 8% off. It is authentic silver dollars.

Forty-five yuan is enough for an official to live a decent life that matches his identity.

In fact, this is what the imperial court feeds them for free to commend their loyalty and recognizes their original official status.

As soon as such a policy was released, the resentment of the returned officials was completely dispelled, demonstrating the benevolence of the emperor and the regent to treat the old ministers, and invisibly calmed down a storm.

The idle officials and scholars who learned about the specific contents of the policy edicts were issued throughout the world. They felt that nothing had changed in the court, but it seemed that everything was changing.

For example, it follows the old system and has a cabinet, but has a military office added.

There are six ministries, but one more ministries, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and one more ministries, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was changed.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs can understand it, but the Ministry of Industry and Commerce actually collects taxes small, and it is true for merchants and factory workshops.

But, you can't object too much.

Because in this era, business has penetrated into every class, how dare you say you are not doing business?

Even if you don’t do business, then there will be someone in your family and clan. Merchants have become a class that cannot be underestimated.

What ability do you have to compete with the same class, especially the scholar-official class behind them?

Shut up.

The factory workshop cannot be refuted.

Because in this era, the development of factory workshops has long exceeded people's imagination.

For example, during the Tianqi period, the prefect of Hangzhou despised and oppressed the textile workshop owners, which resulted in a wave of strikes.

The final method adopted by the court was to cut off the prefect who caused the incident and then calm the matter down.

Especially during this period, the largest factory leader in Xinming was the Regent.

He not only has the Xinming Lifeline Mint, a steel factory, but also a military factory.

As for the breweries, online credit unions, breeding farms, small farm tool manufacturing plants that he owns under his name, all kinds of things cover almost the entire industry.

Do you dare to object to him? Stop production every minute and let your country be completely shut down.

And this is not the key.

The key is the title of Regent.

The title of the Regent is not the most important one, because there is still a princess of the Ming Dynasty standing behind her.

Who is the princess of the Ming Dynasty? She is the emperor's sister.

Today's emperors pay the most attention to family affection and the most humane, which is also recognized by the gentry of the people of the world. You can't shake him at all.

There is also a speciously unique way, that is, among the eight chapters, the head of the Ministry of Revenue is the princess, and the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is Zhang Ziyan.

Do you want to object?

One is the emperor's sister, the wife of the regent, and the other is the sister of the Duke of England who controls the military power of the world, and the wife of the future regent.

The Jinyiwei, who controls the world's intelligence, is the loyalty of the Regent.

You should shut up obediently. If you dare to offend and raise objections, then the old and young people who have once opposed are your role models.

Just as the words of objection were expressed, the Jinyiwei arrived in a blink of an eye. Then the world could no longer see this person, and the world became quiet.

There is also this imperial examination system.

They came according to the convention and still gave students the opportunity to advance and get a degree.

But if you don’t take the eight-legged article, what strategy is required?

Some people raised objections at that time, which was inconsistent with the principles and teachings.

As a result, the modest Regent received the representative of this opponent, and the representative was speechless in just one sentence.

"The imperial examination was established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Did they take the eight-legged essay? They took the theory of governing the country, which led to the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. After the 8-legged essay, do you see if there are still virtuous ministers and capable ministers who are as brilliant as stars in the Sui and Tang Dynasties over the past few hundred years? Are there such outstanding political talents and outstanding literary masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties?"

So this representative covered his face with his sleeves in shame and left in a mess.

Everything is respecting the ancient principles and following the steps, but everything is so specious and weird that people can't say.

But if you really sit in the dark night with your conscience and think about it, it seems that if you continue like this, the Ming Dynasty can truly have hope of liberation.

But we can only wait and see whether it has become better or worse.

Since we are going to be admitted to the imperial examination, this main examination is very important.

Some ministers began to get ready. They no longer wanted to let the Regent show their sensation, nor did they want to let the power of Wang Xuejun expand infinitely and suppress the imperial power without limit.

Therefore, the most important thing is to choose a person who is not Wang Xuejun, but a person who is orthodox and loyal to the emperor as the chief examiner.

Don't think this is a big deal.

According to normal rules, the candidates selected for the first class are all the students of the candidate.

Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers.

Just be a teacher for one day and be a father for life.

All your life will be covered with the mark of the teacher, and you will prosper and lose both. In the political turmoil, you can't even erase it.

So these students fought for their teachers' ideas throughout their lives.

Here, there is no political correctness, only the perspective of the portal.

If the Regent is the chief examiner this time, then the talents selected for this new dynasty's first imperial examination will definitely be the main force that will affect the dynasty for dozens or even hundreds of years in the future.

So in order to suppress Wang Xuejun, those conservative ministers proposed a candidate who was enough to suppress him - Liu Zongzhou, the chief examiner.

Wang Xuejun could only pinch his nose and recognize Liu Zongzhou, a person who was already famous in the world at that time.
