Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

The purpose of her raising this additional question to select some talents was secondary. Her main purpose was to give the people of the world a direction and to start recruiting professional talents in the Spring Imperial Examination.

The most intelligent people do not need you to force them to learn anything. They will automatically learn relevant knowledge like moths to a flame.

Just like the civil service exam, whenever there is a new way to become a formal civil servant, the army of civil servants will do everything possible to automatically get into this new path to learn and climb.

She is setting up a comprehensive college in the North State, and she can't just let talented people hang around in the lowly areas.

She wanted to show them hope and let them see that there were broad avenues for becoming an official in any of the 36 professions.

By then, she won't need to say more, as there will be plenty of talented people who will take the initiative to learn and delve into various subjects.

It will take a few decades before all industries in this world flourish and civilization flourishes.

[Yellow barrage: This simple move has triggered the prosperity of all industries in the world. Who could have known the prince's foresight at that time? ]

[Red barrage: This shouldn’t have changed, right? ]

【Yellow barrage: Nothing has changed. The imperial examination reform also started from here. After many years, it has completely entered an era where practicality is the key to success. 】

In Shengde Hall, Zhao Yunqi and the other two thought her proposal was harmless. They thought that she must have tasted success in Beizhou and wanted to select some professional and technical talents.

With the development of the North State as an example, they have become more tolerant and understanding of this type of talent.

After this test, if these people perform well, similar questions can be added to the next imperial examination from bottom to top to select real professional and technical talents.

Xiao Zhixing added: "As for the number of admissions, they do not count towards the number of Jinshi candidates, but can be placed on a separate list, the Hundred Craftsmen List. As for the number of admissions, I will personally review their answer sheets before deciding."

You have to have some real skills to be admitted.

After saying this, she went to see Zhao Kun, waiting for him to promise.

Zhao Kun came back to his senses, "These are secondary, but the official position is difficult to get."

Who can accept that those who are admitted through informal examinations can become the same officials as those who are admitted through the imperial examinations?

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Don't we have a small position of a 10th-rank attendant in each department? In the past, they randomly found non-official personnel to take this position. These people can do this first."

The tenth-rank attendant was changed into a formal official position. A small official is also an official. As long as you enter this circle and make achievements, you can be promoted.

In the past, the so-called tenth-rank attendants were like the so-called non-staff temporary personnel in China. They were not included in the formal official system and were all appointed by relatives and friends of the lower-level officials.

They don't have a fixed salary. They are hired by the people who hire them and can be sent away at any time.

This is also a way for the court to save financial costs. Sometimes there are few large-scale events, and there is no need to support so many people and collect salaries for nothing.

As for the non-staff personnel in the future, they can be called eleventh-rank servants or something like that.

The promotion to a new official position involves salary. The radar of the Minister of Revenue, Duke Li, was alerted. "Your Majesty, do you know how much more salary the court will have to pay for this new position?"

The war had just ended, and the Ministry of Revenue’s warehouse was so empty that horses could run through it. Now the officials’ salaries were still supported by the emperor’s private treasury.

Duke Li was so sad that he wanted to cry in the middle of the night. Who else could have a minister of finance like him? He was as poor as a beggar.

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be too many people recruited this time, and the annual salary won't be much higher..."

Duke Li wanted to shake his head. If he hadn't been afraid of Xiao Zhixing's temper, he would have almost shouted no.

His embarrassed face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

Xiao Zhixing stretched out his hand and said, "The salt tax from Beizhou should be increased by half a percentage point to the court..." That is 0.5 percentage points.

Duke Li was instantly shocked, "Deal!!"

Afraid that Xiao Zhixing would go back on his word.

The imperial court had long been eyeing the salt tax in Beizhou, but unfortunately they did not provide military pay. Xiao Zhixing confidently reduced the salt tax paid to the imperial court to the lowest level.

They didn't dare ask for more.

Even though it was only half of the salt tax, he calculated that it was several million a year.

As he thought about it, he felt jealous. Beizhou is really rich.

Although the expenses are high, Beizhou will make money. The commercial tax alone is an astronomical figure.

The three of them finalized the matter of adding a new Hundred Craftsmen List in front of the emperor.

Zhao Yunqi was finally responsible for issuing the imperial edict.

Zhao Kun and Duke Li came back to their senses, feeling somewhat complicated.

They found that working with Xiao Zhixing was so smooth and comfortable.

They had just thought that she would force them to add new official positions, but they didn't expect that she would be so kind and friendly to discuss things with them.

We dealt with the problem and solved it, so that they agreed without any reason to refuse.

Tsk, why do I feel that the domineering and powerful Xiao Zhixing in the court is an illusion?

No, no, it’s definitely an illusion. Xiao Zhixing is still Xiao Zhixing.

When the sample papers came out, Zhao Yunqi took advantage of the opportunity to call her to the next room and asked, "I want to transfer a few people from the north to serve in important positions in the court. Can Yuan Sheng let them go?"

Xiao Zhixing was surprised. What did that mean? Stealing someone from her?

That's not true. Most of the officials in the north, especially in Beizhou, are her subordinates. Even if they serve as officials in Shengjing, they are still her people and bear her mark.

Even the emperor can’t erase it.

Could it be that... Zhao Yunqi is paving the way for himself to become the crown prince? ! ! He really wants himself to take over?

Can't? Huh?

Suppressing this strange thought, she gathered her energy to deal with it, "I wonder which people His Majesty wants, and where he will put them?"

She was unwilling to let go of anyone just because their official position was low. Although they were all young people, they had all been trained by her and their abilities and skills were no worse than those of the old men.

As for the worry that the emperor wants to bring people back and deal with them one by one, it all depends on your ability.

She has great confidence in her men and they won't make big mistakes.

Zhao Yunqi seemed not to notice her complicated expression, and handed her a memorial. "Ji Bai will be appointed as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Muzhen will be in charge of the Department of Agriculture in the Ministry of Revenue, Xiao Bei will be appointed as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Tan will be appointed as the Left Vice Minister of the Censorate, and Li Sandi will be appointed as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice... You will be responsible for filling the vacancies after they leave."

Xiao Zhixing looked through the appointment documents for twelve people with a serious expression.

No way? No way?!

These are all important positions in the court, and they were all given to her. Why does she feel uneasy?

What’s even more strange is that the Emperor System did not object and remained silent.

Why does she feel so mysterious?

The audience in the live broadcast room also found it mysterious.

[Red Barrage: No, what does Zha Zha Qi mean? These are the second and third in command of each department. How come he is giving power to the prince by making such an arrangement? ]

【Green barrage: Is it because the competition between the Gentlemen Academy and Beizhou is too good, and Zhao Yunqi has accepted his fate? Plane No. 3, you guys come out and speak up. 】

【Yellow barrage: Forget it, we are not sure whether we can reveal the spoilers now, so let’s just keep watching to avoid getting embarrassed.】

"What? You can't bear to leave?" Zhao Yunqi's words brought her back to her senses.

Xiao Zhixing closed the memorial, was silent for a moment, and finally bowed, "Your Majesty values ​​them so much, I would like to thank Your Majesty for their grace on their behalf."

These people returned to Beijing and held high positions of power and authority, and could be considered young heroes.

Zhao Yunqi smiled and said, "You are the one who trained these good ministers for me. Now go ahead. I will immediately order them to come to the capital."

Xiao Zhixing left with doubts.

Let’s deal with the Spring Examination first.
