Changing the system is definitely imperative.

The official system is not very difficult. What is really difficult is the title system that meritorious officials care more about.

As for the so-called top-level conspiracy to extend favors, it cannot be applied in any occasion.

For example, in the current Qian Kingdom, since the Enfeoffment Order has been used by previous generations, using it again will inevitably dampen people's enthusiasm.

Therefore, Brother Liu’s specialty, crying, is very meaningful.

Although Brother Liu is dead, his spirit lives on.

"Alas, there are advantages to having a higher alcohol content in this wine."

Dong Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at the Wanchen Book in his hand.

The handprints on it are clearly visible, all signed by court officials and meritorious officials.

"Your Majesty, are you sure that the royal nobility will also be changed in this way?"

Xun Yu looked at Dong Yu and asked in surprise.

A few days ago, he submitted the proposed reform plan to Dong Yu.

However, Dong Yu actually changed the title of the prince, and even made it more harsh.

"of course."

"My son is also a human being. Mediocre people should just stay mediocre."

"Three generations is enough time for them to keep their titles as long as they are willing to work hard."

Dong Yu said very seriously.

Of course, he did this to set an example.

If the emperor's sons are like this, everyone will naturally feel more balanced.

"Your Majesty, you are truly a holy monarch."

Xun Yu didn't know how to evaluate him for a moment, and finally chose a very high evaluation to give to Dong Yu.

In Xun Yu's opinion, Dong Yu had many shortcomings that an emperor should not have.

But when it comes to fairness, he is a saint.

If he treats his own descendants like this, then what kind of person is he if not a saint?

...

Morning the next day

All the officials rushed from Suzaku Gate to Chongde Hall.

"Hiss, my head still hurts."

"Oh, your majesty, what kind of wine is that?"

Lu Bu covered his temple and frowned.

“It just feels too intense.”

"It felt strong when I drank it yesterday, but since you guys didn't mention it, I thought my alcohol tolerance had decreased."

Wei Yue shook his head and said with narrowed eyes.

"I remember that we seemed to have pressed some kind of handprint at the end."

Niu Fu looked at the few people and spoke.

"Press the fingerprint...I think I did."

"Let's go to court."

Everyone entered the hall in a daze.

"Go up!"

"bye!"

Zhong Liang screamed.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Although everyone was a little surprised that it was not the Grand Herald who opened the court today, they still opened their mouths to pay their respects.

"Flat body."

Dong Yu sat on the dragon throne with his hands raised.

"His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xun Yu, the current Shangshu, immediately picked up a thick memorial.

"Accurate."

Dong Yu nodded.

"I believe that the current official system is too complicated and that many officials have overlapping duties."

"In addition, the system for selecting officials is outdated, making it difficult for the court to effectively select talented individuals. Many people with ambitions for the benefit of the world are unable to enter the government."

"Also, due to the increase in titles, much of the country's land, including fertile fields, was divided among the princes and marquises, making it difficult for the finances to support the operation of the country."

"Therefore, I have drafted two reform systems regarding the official system and the title system."

Xun Yu bowed and spoke in a loud voice.

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. The reforms of officials can at most affect the people they nominate who they know.

In contrast, changes in titles will inevitably harm the interests of meritorious individuals.

"Your Majesty, we have followed you in battle for many years, braved arrows and stones, and never complained about the hardship."

"We have no special abilities, only strength. However, now that the country is stable and wars have decreased, we no longer have any use for our strength."

"If we lose our titles, won't we even be able to support our family in the future?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are rough people, not unreasonable, but if we lose our titles, won't we continue to suffer?"

"Many soldiers are already disabled. Without food and land, how can they survive?"

The military generals group reacted the most, and Lu Bu and others spoke with sad faces.

Although his face looked miserable, he actually wanted to skin Xun Yu alive.
