The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"The King of Dian has just conquered Jiangnan."

"Now is the time to win over the hearts and minds of scholars throughout the world."

"Miss Mengke..." Qian Qianyi said as if in a dream.

"you say

"Is it possible for the Master to recover?"

Qian Qianyi was not the kind of scholar who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

His life can be described in one sentence: "Your Majesty, I really want to make progress."

Whether it was Mengchao or Quting, he had thrown himself into it without hesitation, hoping to compete for the top, but he was ruthlessly eliminated every time.

There are many people who want to make progress, who are you?

Now that Shu Yichao has taken over Nando, Qian Qianyi seems to have seen another opportunity.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to come to Nando from his hometown at the age of over 80, hoping to get a share of the new court.

"There have been many talented people in Jiangnan since ancient times." Qian Qianyi stroked his beard lightly.

"If the world's literary energy were to weigh one stone, then Jiangnan would hold eight dou!"

"The talents of several provinces, Yunnan and Guizhou, may not be comparable to those of a single county in the south of the Yangtze River."

"It's because of the teacher's talent and reputation."

"The King of Dian might use me, but I'm not sure..."

"No, he will definitely use me." Qian Qianyi muttered.

Look at the people in the court now.

Liu Xuanchu was able to become a Grand Secretary.

When this person was in Mengting, he didn't even know whether he passed the examination to become a scholar.

There is also Suo and the other one, Hu Ji, who wrote terrible poems, was able to become the chief steward just because she could read.

I heard that he is as busy as a donkey with its eyes tied and pulling a millstone.

It can be seen how scarce the talents are in the newly born Mengting, and they have to look for people everywhere to make up the numbers.

Of course, Qian Qianyi can understand -

The King of Dian conquered almost half of the world after only one year of fighting. The speed of expansion was so fast that it would be strange if there was no shortage of talents.

But it doesn’t matter, this also means that there are a lot of vacancies in the court.

And all of this, in Qian Qianyi's view, was a big gift package.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi was eager to try.

Who knows, his decades-long dream of entering the cabinet might come true.

"Teacher." However, his disciples poured a bucket of cold water on him at this time.

"I think you shouldn't be too happy too soon."

The Qian and Yu families were old friends, so Yu Mengke was accepted as a female disciple and taught carefully by Qian Qianyi at a young age.

But Yu Mengke still felt that Qian Qianyi was too optimistic.

Yes, Qian Qianyi’s poems and essays are extremely famous, his knowledge is absolutely remarkable, and he is also quite famous in Jiangnan.

Yes, if the King of Dian wants to take control of the Southern Capital, he must win the hearts of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and must promote a large number of people to be officials.

But again, there are so many people who want to make progress, why does it have to be you, Qian Qianyi?

Besides, Qian Qianyi is too old.

It is even a question whether he can survive this year safely.

In this situation, it is really a daydream to want to become a cabinet minister.

"No matter what, I have to give it a try." But Qian Qianyi refused to admit his old age and was ready to move around, so he settled down in Nando for the time being.

Then, Shu Yichao hit him with a club.

The first thing was to check the land and cancel the privileges of a large number of scholars.

The so-called family of poetry and literature, who tilled the land in a certain place, is just something to listen to.

How could scholars these days go to the fields to work?

Which family doesn't own a lot of land but doesn't pay taxes?

Even if dynasties change, it does not affect the wealth of many people.

For example, Qian Qianyi was once sincerely praised by an official of the Imperial Court who visited his home, saying, "Your family is so rich."

But Shu Yichao obviously couldn't tolerate it.

Then the scholars in Jiangnan became angry.

"What is the King of Dian doing?!"

"All dynasties have been kind to scholars. How could they be so harsh?"

"What's the difference between the Dian King's actions and those of the Jianzhou Tartars?"

"The Jianzhou Tartars are good or bad..."

The scholars were extremely angry.

They got angry for a while.

These scholars only complained but did not take any substantial action.

After all, the Jianzhou Tartars had already massacred people in the south of the Yangtze River. Faced with Shu Yichao, who was even more ferocious than the Jianzhou Eight Banners, they did not have the courage to openly jump out and cause trouble for the time being.

What's more, if they want to cause trouble, they need to find a leader.

As a result, many scholars from Jiangnan came to visit Qian Qianyi, hoping that this former leader of Donglin would stand up and speak a fair word for the scholars.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, the King of Dian is so foolish, you must stand up and write a petition on behalf of the scholars of the world."

but……

Qian Qianyi was busy moving around, preparing to join the cabinet.

It would be too unprofitable if Shu Yichao got offended because of this incident.

"Why should everyone be so anxious?" He comforted the scholars.

"The King of Dian came from the wild lands of Yunnan. I think he's been there for too long, not receiving the guidance of a sage, and doesn't really value culture."

"But he has made great contributions to the country and is the pillar of the nation. It is precisely because of this that we should all assist him with all our heart. It will not be too late to advise the king to be lenient with scholars after he enters the court and serves as an official."

"If we rashly submit a petition over a minor conflict, wouldn't that cause chaos in the court? How will we all share the burden of protecting the country in the future?"

The scholars fell silent.

Qian Qianyi is absolutely right.

There are so many official positions waiting for you.

Don't mess around at a time like this.

What if the official hat falls off?

"Thank you Mr. Mu Zhai for your reminder. We are sorry for being rude." The scholars dispersed one after another.

"Hmph." Looking at the many scholars who dispersed, Yu Mengke walked out of the house slowly, with a look of contempt on his face.

"A bunch of worms!"

"They recite the teachings of the saints, but their hearts are filled with thoughts of wealth and glory!"

"Teacher, what do you think?" She seemed to be hinting at something.

Qian Qianyi turned his face away as if nothing had happened.

Yes, yes, yes!!

That's it!!

System 12345 saw this scene while browsing the documents and burst into tears of joy.

【This time, the introduction is not a scam. 】

The system 12345 that had recommended candidates to Shu Yichao before was shocked as soon as it finished speaking.

Because it suddenly discovered a problem -

That is, the strategy target in the introduction seems to be subtly different from the actual person.

It seems that it is because of this subtle difference that they often clash with Shu Yichao at critical junctures.

The result was that they rushed forward and Shu Yichao was defeated.

Therefore, this time, System 12345 was more cautious and prepared to see how Yu Mengke would perform.

Now………

【Finally, I can rest assured!!】

System 12345 cheered.

[This one is still unstable!!?]

PS: Five plans in five days, who came up with it?

Chapter 768 - Gentle Talk Zhang Yide

"Kings."

"It's time to open the Enke."

Qian Qianyi, who had already decided to seek an official position, took action immediately.

God have mercy on him, he is already over eighty years old.

It's not just the eyebrows buried in the earth, it's the whole body that is buried in the earth, with only the hair left outside.

If we don't fight now, when will we fight?

Qian Qianyi then joined forces with a group of local prestigious scholars to petition Shu Yichao to restore the imperial examination system.

As long as Shu Yichao adopted his advice, all the scholars in Jiangnan would remember his kindness.

Wouldn't it be easy to get the position of cabinet minister by then?

When Qian Qianyi thought about how he would be respectfully addressed as "Lord Qian" by all the civil and military officials in the court in the future, he felt as soft as if he had been soaked in water for a long time.

At the same time that Qian Qianyi submitted the petition, Liu Xuanchu also rushed to Nando in a dusty state.

"Your Majesty, please start the imperial examination."

This resourceful strategist now had puffy eyes and heavy dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a panda so thin that only a skeleton was left.

"There are really not enough officials in the court," he cried.

“I can’t finish it.”

“There’s just no end to the work.”

From a small corner of Yunnan, it expanded to encompass half of the world in one go, but the promotion of officials was not that fast.

Many simple things involve so many complexities that it is impossible to understand them without careful study by professionals.

Liu Xuanchu felt like he was trying to cover ten large pots with three pot lids, and it was like he was trying to suppress one problem but another one popped up...

Think about it, because of lack of ability, we have to recruit more new people.

These newcomers often cause millions of troubles due to their lack of ability.

Then, more people have to be recruited to clean up these messes, and then...

It was a disaster!!

Whenever Liu Xuanchu saw all kinds of bad news coming from the local area, he couldn't help but have extremely shaken thoughts in his mind.

We've done such a bad job, and we're not done yet?
