I engaged in modernization in ancient times

Wuyi Lane, for the press conference today, the three-street battle was suspended.

At this time, besides Zhao Lan and the little reporter, there were many onlookers.

And, one after another, the carriages stopped around.

Mo Shaoheng also couldn't recognize it completely, but Mo Shaoheng knew Lingshigong's carriage with the family crest.

That's right, as the party involved in this incident, Lingshigong must have come to see it.

Tomorrow's press conference, I believe Zhao Lan can't help but watch it too.

I don't know how many courtiers are on these carriages, and how many important nobles are there.

At this time, amidst the discussions, Zhao Jingcheng stood up and started his first question.

"Your Highness, the last time the people were poisoned by eating steamed stuffed buns, it was Zhenbei Wangfu Mo Shaoheng who gave you the medicine money for those patients. Excuse me, have you returned the medicine money to him?"

hiss!

The street, which was still extremely noisy, suddenly became silent, and the air seemed to freeze.

The last incident was actually a big one, because Zhao Lan is the crown prince, so things spread more easily.

Zhao Jingcheng: "..."

what's wrong?

Why don't you all talk?

This is the top question among the questions he wants to ask when he investigates the people.

Zhao Lan's face turned dark.

It is estimated that it is the same as being exposed in public.

Everyone: "..."

Unexpectedly, this press conference was so sharp.

Mo Shaoheng hurriedly stood up, Zhao Jingcheng was overly excited, if Zhao Lan misses this, will he have something to eat?

Said, "Everyone, the questions at the press conference are all collected from people of different classes in Liangjing. They are for the common people and for a certain collective, and do not represent the reporter's own views."

After finishing speaking, he said, "The process just now was wrong."

Zhao Jingcheng is so excited, it's not time to ask questions yet.

Mo Shaoheng said, "The press conference can be divided into two parts."

"First, the release link."

"His Highness will publish his own views today."

"No matter what His Highness's opinion is, no matter whether the opinion is right or wrong, no matter whether the opinion is reasonable or not, no one is allowed to interrupt during the release."

"Your Highness, please also explain what you want to publish as clearly as possible."

"The second part is the reporter's question time."

"In order to maintain order, during the reporter's question time, other people are not allowed to ask questions at will."

"The questions asked by the reporters are all from market surveys, which are the questions that the common people want to ask the most."

"Of course, there may be temporary problems added."

Everyone: "..."

They probably understood that they asked Zhao Lan to explain why the reform of the official system was inappropriate, and then the little reporter asked questions for everyone's voice.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Now, the press conference has officially begun. Your Highness, please explain."

Zhao Lan had a dark face.

However, he was already prepared.

began to speak.

"My Beiliang court selects officials from the nobles, and the nobles govern the people."

"Nobles, you are the cornerstone of my Beiliang community. If the cornerstone shakes, it will definitely make Beiliang unstable..."

"The most important thing in Beiliang is stability..."

It has to be said that Zhao Lan's debates these days have not been in vain.

The point of view has changed from the interests of the nobles at the beginning to the present, and the reform of the official system will shake the stability of Beiliang.

It has to be said that starting from this point of view, he is actually very reasonable.

The teachers and officials behind him did not give their advice in vain.

I am afraid that this is the problem that the reform of the official system that the saint is most worried about may cause.

Zhao Lan sorted out his point of view pretty well.

Long essays, citing scriptures.

This lecture lasted most of the morning, and it seemed that I really wanted to express all my views at this time.

In the end, it still fell, and Beiliang officials could only come to such a conclusion among the nobles.

Mo Shaoheng sighed, perhaps Zhao Lan's concerns did have his reasons.

but……

When a problem is found, instead of solving it, it will be cut across the board. For the petty profit of the nobles, regardless of the development of Beiliang.

Maybe Zhao Lan himself is aware of the benefits of the reform of the official system, but because the body is not right, the heart is naturally not right.

Zhao Lan was originally a nobleman, so it was not completely wrong for him to put himself in the position of a nobleman instead of the Prince of Beiliang.

Mo Shaoheng checked whether Zhao Lan had finished speaking.

Then he said, "Next, we will move on to the second session, and the reporter asks questions."

Everyone's spirits were lifted immediately.

I don't know if it was affected by Zhao Jingcheng's first sharp question, and his ears were pricked up.

According to Mo Shaoheng, these little reporters now represent the people of Beiliang who are asking and questioning the prince.

It was still Zhao Jingcheng, "May I ask Your Highness, in His Highness's mind, which one is more important, Beiliang or the nobles?"

Everyone: "..."

Gollum.

Are you playing this big?

Another question that goes straight to the core.

Everyone could see that the Prince of Beiliang was a nobleman.

So here comes the question, in the crown prince's mind, is Northern Liang or the nobles more important.

Zhao Lan was naturally not stupid, and replied, "Naturally, I, Beiliang, always want it. As the crown prince..."

There are a lot of balabala, probably what his teacher taught him, the responsibility of being a prince.

In Mo Shaoheng's words, the answer to this question is too official.

Answering is the same as not answering, it is the most boring but also the safest answer that will not make mistakes.

On the street, Lord Lingshi's carriage moved.

Zhao Lan is talking, Beiliang is more important, but what is he doing?

The mouth is not the heart.

But in the end, he didn't speak. The rule of the press conference is that the reporter asks questions on behalf of everyone.

A rule is a rule, and if he questioned it at this time, it might be another debate.

After Zhao Lan finished answering, Zhao Jingcheng said, "The question just now came from my Sangong of Beiliang."

This was what Mo Shaoheng said to them temporarily, and he would roughly say the origin of the question he raised.

He was also afraid that his students would be missed.

He is also telling everyone that his students just provided a mouth.

Although it's a matter of taking off your pants and farting, at least you have to express your attitude.

A group of small reporters kept recording.

Zhao Jingcheng opened his mouth again, but Fan Shen stopped him, "What's the matter with you, little reporter? You've already asked two questions, it's my turn."

Zhao Jingcheng: "..."

Obviously there is only one question, the first question, the prince didn't answer it.

However, according to the rules, it is true that he cannot ask questions alone.

At this time, another little reporter said, "Look at the side, is there someone like us who is recording what the prince said just now?"

"They don't want to grab our news, do they?"

Mo Shaoheng glanced at it and thought, even the recorder from the court has come, these people Mo Shaoheng looked familiar because they were the recorder from the Golden Palace.

More people paid attention to the press conference than he imagined.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Reporters please continue to ask questions."

Fan Shen stood up, "Dare to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, just now His Highness said that I, Beiliang officials, can only be selected from nobles."

"But, before Beiliang, in Yuan, Shuo, Liang, Zhou, etc., there were precedents for poor families to be officials in the palace."

"Why, they can, but I, Beiliang, can't?"

Fan Shen said, "This question comes from a poor family."

It can be said that the reform of the official system is most closely related to the poor scholars.

In the past, a poor family was always a poor family, birth determined everything, and life was determined by fate.

No matter how hard they try, no matter how motivated they are, they will never be able to break through the shackles that were imprisoned on them when they were born.

Perhaps many people are used to this fate.

But it makes the whole society like a pool of stagnant water.

Shi Nong Gong Shang is not just a few words, it represents an unbreakable wall that is harder than steel. .

Therefore, the reform of the official system is of great significance in the eyes of poor families. It is conceivable that it is an opportunity to break through the class.

Hence this question.

Yes, there are many officials from poor families in history, but why did they completely block this hole when they arrived in Beiliang.

In fact, those poor officials in history are all legends that can be recorded in the annals of history, and there are only a few of them in hundreds of years.

It is really different from the reform of the official system that wants to directly recruit poor families into official positions.

Once the reform of the official system is successful, it is necessary to change the laws of Beiliang and form a routine.

But this question from the poor family is not unreasonable. If the poor family has talents, will Bei Liang really abandon them?

In fact, its essence is still a question of benefit transmission.

Zhao Lan frowned, and discussed with the people behind him.

Then he replied, "Among the poor families, there are few scholars. It is not worthwhile to go to great lengths to revise the laws of Beiliang for the sake of one or two so-called talents."

"If you haven't even read the book, how can I manage the people in Beiliang?"

What he said was actually a real problem.

In ancient times, reading was very costly.

Among poor families, there are far fewer scholars than nobles.

In Mo Shaoheng's words, the reality is always crueler than the ideal, and people have to recognize the reality.

For example, right now, in the face of law enforcement and big fights, a few so-called scholars from poor families are simply...insignificant.

Therefore, this official system reform is still unrealistic.

In fact, it is not unreasonable.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality does not allow it.

After Fan Shen, the next reporter asked a question.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, if there are so many vegetarians in the court, can the nobles be allowed to recommend talents instead of relatives?"

"The question... comes from the aristocratic family."

Everyone couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Mo Shaoheng also smiled, pushing for talents instead of marriage?

There are also conflicts among the nobles.

Obviously some positions are more suitable for people with certain abilities, but those who are recommended may be people who are vegetarians.

This is actually the biggest drawback of the nobility election system.

Dare to ask these aristocrats, who do they recommend if they don't recommend their own people?

So what if you have talent?Your family is not strong enough, your relationship network is not good enough, and you still don't have your share.

The aristocratic election system has actually caused many problems, but it is only because of interests, even if those with vested interests see the problems, they will not change it.

Many dynasties in ancient times could not last long, and very few could survive 100 years.

And the interior rots extremely fast, in fact, there is a reason.

The noble election system has greatly increased the progress of this corruption.

The aristocratic election system can quickly entrench certain aristocratic families and become stronger, causing the power of the aristocratic families and even the royal power to become unbalanced, and it is also related to the resurgence of disputes.

One question after another was shocking to hear.

Those who answered were also terrified.

Some disadvantages of the noble election system were also exposed in the process of question and answer.

This is an exchange between people of different classes and positions.

In the past, these issues may be more or less known to everyone, but they have never been dissected in front of everyone in this way.

The hands of those recording officials were trembling.

I thought it was just a record, but...

Beiliang, there is going to be a big storm.

The reason why Mo Shaoheng was in a hurry to get away was not because he was afraid of being thrown to the ground by the coming big waves.

None of the carriages left.

The question and answer between the reporter and Zhao Lan also gave them a lot of inspiration.

At this time, Zhao Lan actually represents the existing official system, which is being scrutinized and questioned by all parties.

The press conference lasted much longer than expected.

When it was over, not to mention a group of small reporters, Mo Shaoheng felt a sense of darkness.

Mo Shaoheng said to a group of students, "Go eat and rest."

"Give your records to someone else, and they'll sort it out and print it into a special issue."

A group of students nodded quickly.

They must eat and rest, or they will really faint.

Tired and exhausted, but... I couldn't help the excitement in my heart.

It is because of the difficulty that they have never had a sense of accomplishment.

They did a great job.

The excitement on his face could not be concealed.

Mo Shaoheng shook his head, he really is a group of teenagers who don't know how to be afraid, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Make room for them and let them eat first.

In fact, compared to these students, Zhao Lan should be the most tired one.

He was answering from beginning to end.

But, I don't know why, but I'm actually quite happy.

As a prince, there are too many things to take care of.

But today, he was too busy answering questions, so he acted recklessly for a while, pouring out all the thoughts in his heart.

That's his point.

And the people who watched it were also extremely exciting.

An experience that I have never had before, just like... going to court once.

Mo Shaoheng was also eating with a group of students.

"Alive."

"Look at my little mouth, I just said nothing."

"I never thought that the food was so delicious."

"Ah, I actually forgot what questions I asked."

My mind is busy and confused.

Mo Shaoheng said, "After eating, you all go back and have a good rest, don't think about anything."

"There will be a press conference tomorrow, and you will be busy."

A group of students nodded, holding their hands firmly, they must have a happy ending.

Originally, they couldn't fall asleep, but their little heads were so tired, they fell asleep on the bed.

But the adults in their house were not so heartless, they just looked at each other for a long time.

The children of their family actually stirred up the situation in Liangjing.

The magnitude of this brewing situation is really unpredictable.

Mo Shaoheng's today's special issue was also printed overtime.

I used a larger paper than the usual three-street battle report, and one sheet was not enough, there were several sheets.

The content is no longer as interesting as it used to be, but it is listed out in a well-regulated way of asking and answering.

Even Mo Shaoheng didn't express any opinions, he just sorted it out a bit and posted it out intact.

This issue of the newspaper has less bells and whistles and more rigor.

It doesn't look like much fun, but it's not nearly enough to sell.

Print as much as you sell, and there are still a large number of people waiting to buy.

Even those who participated in today's press conference cannot remember so much content, and some content requires them to go back and review it again and again.

If you haven't participated, you have to buy a copy.

In addition to the afternoon, the newspaper is also printed all night at night.

Many people were amazed.

How did so many newspapers come out in such a short time?

Moreover, the handwriting on each newspaper is actually the same.

Amazing to the extreme.

In the past, I would definitely have to go to the bottom of it, but now I can't take care of it, because on the second day, Lingshi Gong's press conference started.

A group of students, after a night's rest, came alive again.

The difference is that no matter whether it is the tables and stools of Mr. Lingshi or those of the young reporters, there is an extra glass of water on them.

Yesterday, the servants were constantly handing water, but now they simply put it on it, and drink it as much as they want, which also makes the reporter's meeting more fluent.

Well, it feels like some veteran cadres are holding a meeting.

It is still the process of yesterday.

In the first link, Lingshigong will first express his views.

Lord Lingshi is indeed quite safe.

First, he analyzed the disadvantages of the nobility election system. With the exposure of those problems yesterday, his analysis today really went straight to the bottom of people's hearts.

Every time I talk about the disadvantages, it makes people feel cold sweat.

To describe it in one sentence, if it goes on like this, it will end sooner or later.

Of course, not so blue.

But it also made people's hearts rise to their throats.

Lord Lingshi naturally knows what to say and what not to say. His strength is that he is just right, letting people know what the problem is without touching taboos.

Compared with Zhao Lan's explanation yesterday, Lingshigong's explanation is obviously much more specific.

"Therefore, for the long-term stability of Beiliang, the reform of the official system is imperative."

Mo Shaoheng felt like he had learned a lesson.

There are actually some sages preaching the meaning.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

However, Mo Shaoheng also frowned.

Lingshi's speech was really good, thought-provoking, and he was prepared for danger in times of peace, and he was dedicated to the prosperity and long-term governance of Beiliang.

but……

Mo Shaoheng discovered a problem. The reform of Lingshigong's official system and the changes in the nobility election system have not reached revolutionary and subversive.

Of course, this is also related to Mo Shaoheng's experience with different systems in history.

But in the eyes of others, it may have been turned upside down.

At least those aristocratic families don't have a very good face, because Lingshi Gong talked about the core, but it goes against their interests.

Then, there was the reporter questioning session.

Today's question...is still extremely sharp.

Only then did everyone know that Mo Shaoheng was not targeting Zhao Lan yesterday.

Some problems are even more overwhelming.

Like the first question.

"May I ask Lord Lingshi, the reform of the official system has shaken the entire nobles, how do you ensure that while the reform is in progress, I will be safe in Beiliang?"

"This question comes from the nobles of Beiliang."

Each has its own position, and each has its own problems. It was the same with Zhao Lan yesterday, and it is the same with Lingshigong today.

In fact, it is not aimed at the two of them, but at the two systems they represent.

One question and one answer, the onlookers have become accustomed to this simple and clear way of solving things.

The press conference continued into the afternoon.

After it was over, a group of students seemed to wake up from a big dream.

Still eating in the private room, Mo Shaoheng said, "To a certain extent, we journalists cannot have our own opinions."

"The voice we speak is the voice of society, um, the voice of the public, not ourselves."

"Of course, after leaving behind your identity as a journalist, which point of view do you like to stand on?"

In fact, this is an ideal state, and text itself is a kind of thing with subjective consciousness, so when writing, I often have some emotional color between the lines.

Mo Shaoheng said, "So, after today's special issue comes out, the reform of the official system has nothing to do with our battle report."

A group of students seemed to understand but not understand.

"Then do we have to find other big news?"

The corner of Mo Shaoheng's mouth twitched, "Almost."

I am afraid that there are not many big news that can compare with the reform.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Anyway, let's go back and have a good rest first, and return to our previous life, what should we do?"

With the release of the special issue, the confrontation between the two viewpoints has also reached its extreme.

After Mo Shaoheng finished printing the special issue, he was considered clean.

It's just that he is pure, and the court is already hot.

After three years, the reform of the official system has once again moved to the Golden Palace in a more popular form than three years ago.

Today's court meeting, Mo Shaoheng is also going to court.

Looking at a group of ministers arguing upwards, Mo Shaoheng said, "..."

As the instigator, he didn't dare to rub in front of these people.

On the contrary, the superior, the sage glanced at him from time to time, which made him very guilty.

To be honest, during the whole process, he just lined up and let Zhao Lan and Ling Shigong fight in the ring.

Later, he also provided a platform. They fought to this point by themselves. Arguing, arguing fiercely, always... always hurts feelings.

The sage can see clearly, this matter has nothing to do with him.

The Golden Palace was divided into two factions, and one faction supported the reform. They had a deep understanding, not to mention making Beiliang better, but if the noble election system was still used, Beiliang might follow in the footsteps of all previous dynasties.

I don't know how many dynasties that were stronger than Beiliang in the past, but they all declined within a hundred years. They are not arrogant enough to think that Beiliang is stronger than these dynasties.

The opposition, mostly entrenched aristocrats, did not object out of their own interests, and it was impossible for them to directly use this reason.

It was used, such a reform, unprecedented, and before the benefits came, the foundation of Beiliang was shaken first.

Each has its own reason.

"How many talented people are there from a poor family? How can I, Beiliang, take such a big risk for so few people?"

Now we were discussing this, when the sage suddenly said, "I don't know what Jian Yilang thinks!"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

He had tried his best to make himself invisible, really, he didn't even dare to say a word, and secretly stood in the shadow of an official in front of him.

He is such a small official, a little ant in the golden palace, why bother the sage to roll his name himself.

Everyone: "..."

Mo Shaoheng, the instigator, was forgotten.

If it wasn't for Mo Shaoheng's interviews with people, and the opposite views of the prince and Lord Lingshi were published in the newspaper at the same time, how could these things happen.

Lord Lingshi also looked at Mo Shaoheng.

He used to think Mo Shaoheng was a good young man.

But now, he had torn skins with Beiliang's prince in front of him. If he used a fight to describe it, his nose and face were swollen and his hair was disheveled. Mo Shaoheng was still watching the fun from the sidelines.

I've never seen someone who can treat people like a hammer wheel, the hammer is almost broken, and he still looks innocent.

Lord Lingshi said in his heart, no, even though he is being treated as a hammer wheel, it is more or less because he is willing, but the person who is the hammer wheel is also on his side, and it is better to have one more helper than one less.

Mo Shaoheng came out.

He... is also from Beiliang.

Said, "May I ask you adults, is there a country first, or a family first?"

"My lords feel that the reform has damaged your interests, but have you ever thought about how your aristocratic families would develop without the prosperity of Beiliang?"

In a word, let everyone know Mo Shaoheng's position immediately.

Mo Shaoheng is a reformist.

Mo Shaoheng didn't wait for anyone to answer, but said, "In your opinion, you are already great nobles in Beiliang."

"However, do you know that decent-looking nobles like you, even in Nanli, are nothing more than... small, inconspicuous little aristocratic families."

"Not to mention comparing with the aristocratic families of the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

These words are a bit embarrassing, and it is almost to say that they are self-righteous, short-sighted, clinging to their own small territory, without any foresight, and they will not see anyone if they take it out.

That's right, it's annoying.

But what to do?This is how Beiliang is, and so are the nobles in Beiliang.

They probably understood what Mo Shaoheng was talking about.

Mo Shaoheng said, "The reason why the nobles of Eastern Tang are so powerful and glorious is not because of the strength of Eastern Tang?"

"If it's really for your own benefit, you should think about it first and develop Beiliang."

"If Beiliang doesn't prosper, you will only make people laugh when you fight for petty profits."

Then backed off.

He didn't know whether others were happy after hearing his decision, but the saint should be happy.

I didn't see him develop Beiliang one by one.

The aristocratic families fought back and forth and ignored Beiliang, where would the saint be placed.

Everyone: "..."

This Mo Shaoheng really makes people feel embarrassed every time.

The point is that you are not good enough to refute him.

I don't believe that some people dare to say that they have to develop their own family first, and then consider Beiliang.

Overwhelm all opposition with great principles.

The reformers are happy, but that's not the reason.

Before there is a country, there is a family.

Even if some people are dissatisfied with Mo Shaoheng's truth, they will never dare to show it. They... are ministers of Beiliang. With this status alone, they are destined to be unable to refute.

At this time, someone came out, "The truth of the son is naturally to look up to the mountains, but the son of Beiliang should understand what is going on."

Reform faction: "..."

Sometimes I really have to bow to reality.

The man continued, "There are very few people who study from poor families. Is it worth it for me to make an unprecedented reform in Beiliang for the sake of a few negligible scholars?"

"Take a ten thousand step back, even if there are talented people from a poor family, if there is a mistake in the reform, can the prince take the responsibility?"

It is not uncommon for dynasties to be turbulent or even destroyed due to political reforms.

Unknown law, there is unknown danger.

Mo Shaoheng glanced at this person, "Your Excellency, why are you thinking about taking responsibility first for things that haven't started yet?"

"If everyone is afraid of taking responsibility and doesn't want to make progress, how can Beiliang make progress?"

After finishing speaking, he said directly, "Just now you said that there are only a few scholars from the poor family, it is not worth taking the risk."

"So, what you mean is that if there are more scholars from poor families, can you consider taking this risk?"

Someone laughed, "If there are more scholars from poor families, many talented people will naturally emerge."

"But... the cost of studying, how can a poor family afford it?"

Individual poor families who can spare money to study are, after all, a minority.

Mo Shaoheng also laughed, "My question is, if there are more scholars from poor families, can we take risks?"

Everyone: "..."

What is Mo Shaoheng talking about?

This is impossible.

Totally unrealistic.

Mo Shaoheng looked directly at the representative members of the opposition, "What do you think?"

Several people frowned, why did Mo Shaoheng keep asking this question?

Several people discussed and made a common answer, "If the poor family can really have enough scholars and attract some poor families to become officials, my aristocratic family will not be so stingy. My noble children have been famous teachers and professors since they were young. A poor family can’t make it.”

Mo Shaoheng smiled, and hurriedly said, "These are my important ministers in Beiliang, I believe what you say will mean what you say."

Zhao Di in front of him glanced at Mo Shaoheng, his wife was setting someone up.

People who don't know the truth are absolutely hard to guard against. These adults will soon be different inside and out.

Mo Shaoheng clasped his hands to the superior, "Sage, the reason why there are so few scholars in my poor family in Beiliang is because we can't afford paper and books."

"And I have the craft to make cheap paper and the craft to print books fast."

"I'm sure you all know about the papers I sell. The price of the papers is so low because I use cheap but not bad paper and fast printing techniques."

"Everyone may think that if I sell a Three Street Battle Report, I will lose a share of the money."

"Actually, it's not the case. I earn a lot per share."

hiss!

They know how cheap the paper is, and they can still make money if it is so cheap, so... how cheap is the paper used for writing?What kind of printing process is so effortless?

Only then did they discover what they had overlooked recently.

Mo Shaoheng's Three Street Battle Report has sold too much.

If such cheap paper really appeared, the impact on the entire Beiliang would be unimaginable.

Also... In other words, more people from poor families can afford to study. This number is a bit surprising for the officials that the entire Beiliang needs.

Unanimously looked at the few people who answered Mo Shaoheng's question just now.

Several people opened their mouths: "..."

I was tricked.

Mo Shaoheng dug a hole here and waited for them.

Mo Shaoheng continued, "I have printed some "The Analects of Confucius", and I am going to give a copy to each of my little shopkeepers."

Everyone: "..."

Mo Shaoheng continued, "I already have two rice paper farms in the suburbs, and the daily output is not bad. As for the effect, there will be new paper and books for sale in Wuyi Lane tomorrow. Go and see the price. knew."

Everyone: "..."

You are ready for everything.

None of them have yet recovered from the news.

At this time, someone exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Mo Shaoheng: "A sage is not allowed to make up random things."

The person who asked the question was also excited at the moment, this kind of lie that can be exposed immediately, indeed no one is stupid enough to dance to the golden palace.

There was a direct and intense discussion in the Golden Palace.

"Based on the price of the Three Street Battle Report, the price of paper may be unexpectedly low."

"The humble family is really about to start reading."

At this time, Zhao Di came out and said, "Sage, I will build some paper workshops in various places, and push low-priced paper to the people everywhere."

"If there is more, I will sell the paper to other countries according to the tax of the imperial court. The paper is expensive in all countries. I believe that the cheap paper from Beiliang will be sold to other countries like silk."

This was decided by Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di early on.

Paper must be promoted, and it is better for them to do it themselves than to give the benefits to others.

Paper is not as profitable as silk, but it uses a lot.

To export to various countries, you need to pay taxes to the imperial court. According to the laws of Beiliang, there are quite a lot of taxes, and the imperial court can also earn a lot.

Everyone: "..."

These two people secretly calculated everything.

They can all imagine how much money they will make if they sell paper to various countries.

Because the influence is too great, the specific matters have to be discussed with the imperial court.

The important point now is that several representatives of the opposition said just now that if there are more scholars from poor families, they will not at all propose to recruit some from poor families to become officials.

It doesn't really matter how many poor families enter the officialdom, but it's the beginning and the rules of the law.

There was silence.

Even though they knew that this was the hole Mo Shaoheng dug for them, they jumped just now, in front of civil and military officials, in front of saints.

This is how they refute.

But it's impossible to really agree to reform because of such a pitfall, and the noble family can't help but hate them to death.

So, inside and outside are not people.

In fact, Mo Shaoheng was very clear that the reform directly affected the interests of these nobles, and it was by no means just a simple set of rules that people would agree to.

Mo Shaoheng said, "On the one hand, the long-term peace and stability of Beiliang, and on the other hand, the rights and interests of the aristocratic family, why not..."

Mo Shaoheng looked at Sangong, and then at the opposition.

"How about we make a compromise?"

"We can implement dual regulations."

"The nobility selection system is still in effect, rather than completely changing the original law."

"What we want to change is just to establish another rule for poor families to become an official."

"Let the children of poor families pass this rule, enter the imperial court, and become officials."

Everyone: "..."

Is the nobility election system still valid?

In other words, the basic rights and interests of the nobles were preserved.

The poor family entered the imperial court through another set of rules, so that the poor family had something to look forward to, that is, to recruit talents and recruit officials to work hard for the long-term stability of Beiliang.

"Shuanggui also affects our Beiliang court at the same time, what do you think?"

Both the reformists and the opposition have begun to discuss it.

In fact, there was another reason why the previous reforms were unsuccessful. Both parties had no possibility of a change, but Mo Shaoheng found a way for them to do so.

Everyone thought, it's good to be harsh, how can it be so easy to let poor families easily enter their circle.

Even the sage spoke, "Let's hear it."

Mo Shaoheng said, "My set of rules is called the imperial examination."

"My Northern Liang is divided into continents,
