Wang Zeng was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be casual and said, "How do you feel?"

“It’s like another world.”

Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at Wang Zeng and said, "I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks about this?"

"Do you think, since you are so capable, why do you still need to take the imperial examination?"

"Yes, I am a little confused."

"It's very simple. As I said before, you need to understand everything."

Zhao Jun said: "Isn't this your problem?"

"Zhao Jun."

"Um?"

As I said, he had just traveled through time, and although he was full of theories and had learned a lot of knowledge from books, he still knew nothing about reality.

He didn't know how corrupt and dark the Song Dynasty officialdom and society were as described in the books.

He didn't know what the so-called "officials do not serve the public, or they are partial to their own interests when they are assigned, or they collect taxes extorting money and harm their own people" meant.

Wang Zeng was holding a copy of Zhao Jun's policy paper from yesterday. As he read it, he said, "You know nothing about officialdom. Do you know that if we really reform the system as you propose, officials all over the world will oppose it? If they stop governing for a day, the Song Dynasty will face catastrophic disaster. Only by deeply understanding the officialdom can we make a difference."

"is that so?"

Zhao Jun frowned and thought.

Even if you pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, you still have to follow the rules of officialdom to be promoted step by step. By the time you hold power in the future, you will probably be in your thirties or forties. Isn't this a bit of a waste of time?

"Yes."

Wang Zeng replied, "You've only been to the outer city for one day, and yet you've got so many complaints. But if you truly understand the state of officialdom, you'll find these things insignificant."

He also didn't know how the people at the bottom lived.

So he could make a compromise and do as they arranged, first entering the officialdom, then understanding the situation, going deep into the grassroots level, and conducting research everywhere.

But is this really the right path?

"Oh well."

Zhao Jun responded as if he had been enlightened.

Wang Zeng seemed very satisfied with his ideas and attitude and continued to explain the question to him.

"Doesn't that mean that the official order should be changed?"

Zhao Jun said.

Wang Zeng smiled and said, "I've noticed you always think things are so simple. If the order in the officialdom could be changed so easily, the Song Dynasty wouldn't be what it is today. You're still young, so take it one step at a time. While you're learning about the officialdom, you can also follow your previous suggestion and manufacture firearms, develop flintlock rifles, and strengthen our nation."

What is the background of Song Renzong?

The evidence was conclusive that the official was corrupt and had killed innocent people. Bao Zheng requested that the official be severely punished, but Zhao Zhen just laughed it off. Since he couldn't fool him, he dismissed him first and then promoted him.

This corrupt official is called Wang Kui.

But he didn't know that after he left, Zhao Jun thought about it for a long time in his room that night.

Let me remind you that the background here is the Song Dynasty, not the early Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di killed whoever they wanted and did whatever they wanted.

There are countless examples like this.

If the protagonist was granted great power as soon as he arrived and then took drastic measures, it would be illogical. It would not be called a historical text, but a brainless and demeaning text.

So he was fooled by the civil service group including Zhao Zhen, and then he attained enlightenment in Longchang and started to overturn the table. It is normal for him to have a sublimation process.

Stop the bullshit comments. Reading the comments can easily give the author a brain congestion.
