Chapter 208: In the past it was the system, now it is bi＼/state?
Yuan Ruan: [Because my nephew wants to make changes! Or he wants to get promoted. This is extremely dangerous.]
System: [I know this, but I don’t understand why Ah Ruan said that the prince was murderous.]
Yuan Ruan was speechless: [My nephew is not stupid. He must have known that this move would be opposed by the officials and nobles, and even the prince party that once supported him might turn against him, but he still proposed to do it. Without the momentum and courage to move forward, which gentle and honest person would dare to do it.]
The system nodded seriously: [Yes, yes, yes. I understand. An honest person would not be able to do this. But the prince only proposed selection, and did not suggest killing all the officials who opposed it, or exterminating their entire clan! Isn't this still very gentle? ]
The emperor nodded imperceptibly.
The eyelids of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince trembled: ...6
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Tong'er, which killer was your last host, the tyrant? ]
The system immediately protested: [Aruan, how can you doubt my original intention? I only have you! ]
Yuanruan and the system burst into laughter again.
The emperor looked at the prince and said, "Then how do you plan to use the female official's words to open up a new door?"
The prince glanced at Yuan Ruan and said, "I heard the conversation between my ninth sister and seventh sister when I was in Yu Garden a few days ago. I think the idea of "widely publicizing the recruitment advertisement" mentioned by my ninth sister is good. We can modify it and use it."
Yuanruan was surprised: [Huh? A recruitment advertisement?]
System: [Frog fun. Isn't this the idea you gave to the Seventh Princess, Ah Ruan? Your eldest nephew actually heard it. Let's see how your eldest nephew is going to change it.]
The emperor said, "Tell me in detail."
The prince said, "I think we can issue an official document to the counties of Xia State, stating that "talents can be promoted regardless of gender or background." Then, we can select an outstanding civilian female official and write a story about her transformation and growth based on her. Then, we can have storytellers go to various taverns to comment on it."
System: [Wow, Ah Ruan, isn't this what you want to do? Write a story based on part of Qi Yue's past and encourage women to join Qi Yue's army? ]
Yuan Ruan was also surprised: "At that time, I just thought that female soldiers also have advantages in many aspects, and I said it casually. I didn't expect that my nephew would take it so seriously and make up for it to this extent."
The prince smiled and continued, "Of course, it would be best if we could write a play about "female officials" and have the troupe perform not only in Daxia but also in the four countries. It might even attract knowledgeable people from other countries."
Yuan Ruan: [Wow. My nephew, this is a good idea! The troupe has a wide range of influence, and it might even attract someone like the Queen of Chu.]
The system rubbed its hands: [If we could bring a heroine from another country here, ha, that would be interesting. ]
The emperor, however, remained calm and it was unclear what he liked.
He looked at the Third Prince and asked, "Anything you can do to fill in the gaps?"
The Third Prince supported the Crown Prince's actions, so he naturally said no. But the Emperor frowned, and the Third Prince immediately became nervous.
He racked his brains and said, "Storybooks are not as popular as opera troupes. The only problem is that it is very difficult to train an actor. There are not so many opera troupes..."
The prince said slowly, "Didn't a group of actors get dragged away to repair the city wall? They can be used just in time."
Yuan Ruan almost laughed out loud: ...
My nephew's suggestion is very good, as it will win the hearts of those officials who have been cheated on.
…
The emperor hesitated for a moment, then looked at the prince: "Anything else?"
The prince also talked about some follow-up policies, such as how to build the female officials' cabinet, the difference between the recommendations of female officials and those of male officials... and so on.
The more Yuanruan listened, the more he felt that it was feasible, and he couldn't help but brag to the system: [My nephew, there really is something! ]
System: [Hmm.]
Wait until the prince finishes speaking.
The emperor shook his head and said, "If this is all you can think of, then simply recruiting female officials is not enough to open up a channel for commoners to rise up."
The prince was startled.
The emperor laughed, stood up and walked around the palace: "How many commoner women in Daxia are educated? The ones you recruit will only be the daughters of other officials, nobles and in-laws. Do you think Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang didn't see your true intention? They saw it, but they thought it would not shake the foundation, so they didn't care."
Just as the prince was about to argue, he heard Yuan Ruan's inner voice.
Yuan Ruan: [As expected of you, my brother. You have a long-term political vision. Knowledge monopoly is inevitable. The lower class cannot rely on becoming an official to achieve class transition.]
System: [Yes. It is too difficult. Even during the Tang and Song dynasties when paper became common, reading became popular among common people, and the imperial examination system came to prominence, it cannot be said that equal opportunities were completely achieved. Of course, it was much better than it is now.]
Yuan Ruan clenched his fist: [So Tong'er, please help me find the paper task! ]
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
It was not the first time for the emperor, the crown prince and the other two to hear about paper or the imperial examination, but Yuan Ruan had always been indifferent to it. They thought they would have to wait two or three years.
I didn't expect that today, Yuanruan would take the initiative to ask for paper.
The system exclaimed: "Ah Ruan, are you sure? Although you are almost at the national master's level, I think your brother's personality will still make him a chicken! If the paper appears now, you will have many more book reading points in the future. 】
Yuanruan clenched his fist and said seriously: [It doesn't matter! My nephew is going to make a reform, and it's the one I like, so of course I will support him with all my strength! Tong'er, hurry up and give him a paper task.]
System: [Okay! But Ah Ruan, the paper tasks in my task pool have been refreshed. But it’s okay, I’ll go borrow some from my friends! ]
Yuanruan is very happy: [Love you! ]
After a while, the familiar system voice came online again.
System: [Ah Ruan, I'm back! But I have one good news and one bad news. Sigh.]
Yuanruan: [It's okay, Tong'er. It doesn't matter if there are no paper tasks. There's no rush for reform.]
System: [Yes! There is a mission! The one with this paper mission is the Ancient Love System. This mission seems too difficult to complete. So, I will send it to you.]
[Love daily task: Four handsome men with a beauty score of 8 or above, naked and shouting "I am a pig" to you, (unfinished), reward: paper. ]
The Emperor, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince: ???
Yuanruan was so shocked that his scalp went numb!
What are people doing?!
In the past it was the system, now it is the pervert? !
