After he became the throne, the first decree issued by Lin Yuan was to open the imperial examination, select talents, and manage the country.

The imperial examination system has existed since ancient times. Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a system of investigation and expropriation, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that the Jinshi examination was introduced.

"I wait for the students, so naturally I want to advance to the imperial examination." The students talked a lot. "The imperial examination system has existed in ancient times. Isn't it the same in the Yuan Dynasty? Why do you look sad?"

Some people also echoed: "Your Majesty's move is the heart of the scholars in the world. If everyone wants to be an official, ask for an official, there is no way for the poor to get promoted, and the country has no peace!"

The person on the other side said: "My family has been an official for generations, and it has been there since ancient times. How can it be compared with the Han family concubine!"

"Yes! Your Majesty wants to open the imperial examination. I won't wait to stop it, but I am also a family member and never rely on the imperial examination to advance!"

"This is an insult to my family!"

Zhou Rong passed by at this time, showing disdain.

"Young Master Zhou is in my mind, I don't know how to enlighten me?" Someone stopped Zhou Rong from going, "Young Master Zhou has already been reused by His Majesty, so I naturally look down upon me for the imperial examination dispute."

Someone also spoke for Zhou Rong: "What did the son of Zhou say wrong at the literary conference? I was originally studying in the book, saying that it is governing the country, but I will only talk about it. The governing of the country starts with a single step, is implemented on the ground, and knows the people’s suffering. If you know the business, how can you run the country if you don't know? Do you run the country at home?!"

Zhou Rong stepped forward and gave his hand to the student who was speaking for him: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your help, but Zhou Rong also has something to say."

"What do you have to say? It's still the old rhetoric." Some people disdain, "Say that we are boasting. I think it is you who are talking about it?"

Zhou Rong smiled and said: "You all are the pillars of the country, with great talents. They are familiar with poems, books, and historical classics. They have learned the way of governing the country since childhood. They have seen the people's livelihood since childhood. Is Rong right?"

Someone said: "Forget what you said."

Zhou Rong: "Is your majesty's imperial examination wrong?"

No one dared to speak, saying that the emperor was right or wrong, that was what the superintendent did, and this was their duty.

But when a white man talked about the emperor's right or wrong, he was committing the following, and being caught would be a capital crime.

Zhou Rong smiled and said: "When you can go to the court to discuss your Majesty's right or wrong, let's come to Tong Rong and say something happy."

"There's still something to do, let's go one step ahead, you guys are free."

Zhou Rong did not squint, and strode away, only the son of Zhao who was speaking for him followed.

Zhao Lin followed Zhou Rong and whispered, "Why do you offend them all?"

Zhou Rong sneered, "I am afraid of offending them? The incompetent people only know how to enjoy. They have never left their homes in this life, have never seen the rice fields, have no knowledge of the old farmers, and the people's livelihood. What's the point of having good friendship with them?"

"You...hey!" Zhao Lin, "Where are you going now?"

Zhou Rong walked out of the scholar's building and said to Zhao Lin: "Go and see your Majesty."

Zhao Lin's eyes widened: "The rumors are true? You were really used by your majesty? On Tuesday, you really soared into the sky!"

Zhou Rong's face was cold, and he said to Zhao Lin: "Brother Zhao, I have a word for you."

Zhao Lin is solemn, rectified, dressed up, and said, "Please enlighten me."

Zhou Rong: "Your Majesty will not use the descendants of the family. Your Majesty must use people with lofty ideals. Your Majesty has the ambition to be a loyal minister. I will only be a loyal minister, a direct minister, and only be loyal to your Majesty and Daming.

"The civil servants remonstrate hard, the military attaches fight hard, so, Guoxing too!"

Zhao Lin's eyes widened and his nostrils opened slightly: "You don't need a family..."

Zhou Rong patted Zhao Lin on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, figure it out for yourself."

"What dumb riddle are you playing! Can't it be clear?" Zhao Lin shouted at Zhou Rong's back.

Zhou Rong raised his hand and shook his back to Zhao Lin: "If you speak too clearly, it will be boring."

Zhou Rong walked into the palace gate, he looked up at the gatepost and then at the steps.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the children of Zhou’s family had been in the countryside and farming with farmers. He knew that the people’s livelihood was difficult, and he knew that the farmers had nowhere to rely on till they were old. When he was young, his only dream was to be able to enter this place one day. Gongmen, stretched out his ambitions and dedicated his blood to the emperor.

However, the treacherous servants of the Yuan Dynasty were in power, and even the loyal officials of the clan were designed to kill them.

What's more, they are Han Chinese.

He had no intention of serving the country, but he could not implement it.

Now that the new dynasty has been established and the new monarch is enthroned, he knows who he should be loyal to.

He should be a straight minister, a loyal minister.

Lin Yuan watched Zhou Rong salute himself. He smiled and said, "Come and sit down and come to me."

Zhou Rong walked to Lin Yuan's side.

Lin Yuan took his hand: "I have something I want you to do."

Zhou Rong said quickly: "Your Majesty, but it's okay to say, Cao Min will never refuse."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You don't need to be anxious about the aristocratic family. However, regarding the academic affairs, I want to ask you to be the governor. This is a new official. From the sixth rank, if you are too young to be an official, it is best to say it at this time."

Zhou Rong said eagerly: "Your Majesty said with a smile, that no courtier has ever been too young."

Lin Yuan drank a sip of tea: "This is the best way. I want you to promote official education so that children and children can read and read."

Zhou Rong looked at the teacup and asked, "Your Majesty... the grass people are dull."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Rong: "Where is it dull?"

Zhou Rong: "If your majesty promotes official studies, he will definitely not find the grassroots. The grassroots are not named. Whether it is Master Zheng, Master Wu, or even Song Xiang, they are more suitable than the ministers. Your Majesty seeks the grassroots for reasons that must be the grassroots."

"Pursuing government studies must be infamous." Lin Yuan looked at him with a torch. "For a long time, literary knowledge has been monopolized by the upper class. Even if it is a poor family, it is only three generations of officials."

"Practicing government studies today is tantamount to competing with the family. If you agree, you will be in danger."

Lin Yuan said: "Besides, it's not just a school, there is one important thing."

"Make a character." Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Rong.

As soon as these two words came out, Zhou Rong was shocked.

Lin Yuan smiled: "You might do it? Can you dare to do it?"

Zhou Rong pursed his lips and said: "If the grassroots follow, the world's scholars are all enemies of me. I can't wait to cut me a thousand swords."

Lin Yuan: "Dare you?"

Zhou Rong raised his head, looked directly at Lin Yuan's eyes, and said every word, "Zhou Rong dare!"

"Okay!" Lin Yuan ordered, "Come on with wine! I want to get drunk with Zhou Qing!"

"This kind of courage, this kind of courage, Zhou Rong, if you can make things happen, I will definitely treat you as the superior!"

The two were half drunk and not drunk. Zhou Rong asked with his drunken spirit, "Your Majesty, why did your Majesty choose Caomin?"

Lin Yuan's face flushed. He hasn't drunk for a long time, and now he can't do it with a touch: "Those who are not afraid of death, dare to give up everything in name, Zhou Rong, you are rare."

Zhou Rong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is in desperation."

Lin Yuan: "Do you have the confidence to survive desperately?"

Zhou Rong lay on the table: "Weichen waited for this time. After waiting for a full ten years, even if it is the Longtan Tiger Den in front of him, the minister is willing to go, just beg your majesty benevolence, don't...don't serve the Ping family after the minister succeeds. Resent, take the head of the minister."

Lin Yuan laughed loudly: "What did you say about me outside? If you say I am a tyrant, a tyrant, why are you afraid of mediocrity?!"

Zhou Rong: "Yoyou's mouth is comparable to a sword..."

Lin Yuan: "If you succeed, the aristocratic family shouldn't be afraid. Zhou Rong, what you have to do is to open up a new road. If you do it, you will leave your name in the history and eternal life!"

Zhou Rong said loudly: "Chen, follow the decree!"

Lin Yuan washed his face with cold water after Zhou Rong was taken to the bedroom by the servant.

He couldn't let Song Shizhao or Wu Changqing do this. They were all from the upper class. Even the most unbearable Song Shizhao was from a family. They thought that the common people were not worthy of reading sage books.

When Lin Yuan promoted elementary schools in Gaoyou and other places, Song Shizhao and the others did not oppose it because the teachers were not teaching the country, but just the livelihood of the people.

Lin Yuan asked Zhou Rong to create his characters by re-simplifying the characters according to the current world conditions.

This is impacting the cultural foundation of the entire feudal society.

He can think of what the world's scholars would say about him and what Zhou Rong would say.

Zhou Rong dared to promise him that he had already put his life and death aside.

Lin Yuan said to Erliang, "This man is a madman."

Two and two didn't understand, but they said along, "Yes, he is crazy to ask you to drink so much."

Lin Yuan laughed.

Two and two said: "General Chen has been waiting outside for a long time, will you see him tonight?"

Lin Yuan stood up: "See, why not? I'm in good spirits right now!"

Two or two whispered reminders: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me."

Lin Yuan: "Don't worry about these, please invite him in."

When Chen Baisong entered, he saw Lin Yuan smiling at him. Lin Yuan had blushing cheeks and moist eyes. He was also affectionate if he didn't smile. What's more, he was smiling at this time. Chen Baisong paused. He had not looked at Lin Yuan for a long time Up.

Lin Yuanchang has changed, his aura has changed, his face has not changed, God has treated him generously, and now he still looks like a young man.

"Your Majesty." Chen Baisong was about to bow, and Lin Yuan waved his hand, "Don't bow, come here."

Chen Baisong walked over, he was still wearing armor, walking like the wind, tall and tough, he fought hard from blood, grew up on the battlefield, and already had the temperament of a powerful general.

"You look a little old." Lin Yuan said suddenly.

Chen Baisong knew that Lin Yuan was drunk. He looked at Lin Yuan: "I am 38 this year."

Lin Yuan: "...really?"

The life of the ancients was short, and the average age was only forty. Even if not counted as ordinary people, not many high-ranking officials could live to 60.

What's more, the generals who killed the enemy on the battlefield had countless old wounds.

Lin Yuan suddenly said, "You are thirty-eight, and you haven't married a wife yet."

Chen Baisong: "Too busy, no time."

Lin Yuan: "You are still so upright."

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan, with a blazing fire in his eyes: "Master only now knows?"

Lin Yuan seemed to be attracted by the fire in Chen Baisong's eyes, and looked at him idiotically, "I always knew it."

Chen Baisong breathed.

Lin Yuan asked him: "There are so many people by my side, but you are the only one I believe in."

Chen Baisong closed his eyes: "Chen...I know."

Lin Yuan suddenly asked him: "I ask you, do you dare to commit the following?"

Chen Baisong suddenly became dumb.

"I will not marry a wife, and I will never have children in this life." Lin Yuan said suddenly, "If I have children, what I am trying to do is hopeless in this life. This road may be a dead end, dare you dare to accompany me Go together?"

Chen Baisong opened his mouth, and said, "I dare!"

He didn't know when he was so beautiful, he just found out that he didn't want anyone to be closer to Lin Yuan than himself.

This thought is rooted in his heart, and he has deliberately avoided it for a long time. If Lin Yuan does not marry a wife, he will not marry for a day.

He thought he would be like this in his life, he would witness Lin Yuan ascending the Great Treasure and taking control of Jiuzhou, and he would shed the last drop of blood for Lin Yuan.

Not for the people, not for the world, just for Lin Yuan.
