"This is called taking precautions. What if he is a spy sent by the court? Wouldn't this cut off our source of income?"
"Oh, oh, oh, the shopkeeper is really far-sighted. You are right. We need to confirm it carefully!"
The two men turned the half-worn bundle upside down, and finally, closed the bundle again.
"He can't leave for a while anyway, so keep an eye on him. If there's anything wrong, tell me right away!"
"Oh, I know!"
As for the banknotes in his bag, there are plenty of ways to make him spit them out bit by bit.
The shopkeeper patted the waiter's unruly hand.
"Why are you in such a hurry? These banknotes will be ours sooner or later!"
Didn’t you see the machete next to this man’s bed?
They have to win by playing it safe.
...
...
The waiter smiled awkwardly.
"I just touched it to satisfy my desire!"
"Look at you, you're such a loser!"
The two people left the room again.
Xiao Yuqi opened his eyes, sat up, and glanced at the crumpled bundle.
What the superiors say should be followed by the inferiors!
It turns out that this great country is just superficial glitz and glamour. There is so little, so little that it can do!
Su Jianyue had just got off the plane, had dinner, took a shower, put on a facial mask, and finally lay down on the bed and started watching Douyin.
I refreshed the blogger's video "The Second Tianyu Dynasty" three times in a row, and the content above has not changed at all.
She was a little worried about Xiao Yuqi.
I don’t know if he has arrived in Jingxian?
Su Jianyue put down her phone in annoyance, and the next second, a warm body appeared beside her.
The smell of ambergris was covered by the aroma of plants and trees. Su Jianyue was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away and saw the man who had just passed through her mind appeared in front of her in this second.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuqi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Jianyue's pale face, he jumped three feet high and jumped off the bed.
Su Jianyue didn't understand.
"You...your face?"
Xiao Yuqi moved closer to Su Jianyue again.
"Are you poisoned? Is there an antidote?"
Su Jianyue then realized that he must have been frightened by the mask on his face!
"How about I go get a doctor for you? Where's your female doctor friend? It would be convenient..."
Xiao Yuqi had not yet finished his series of questions.
Su Jianyue tenderly tore off the white facial mask from her face right in front of her.
To Xiao Yuqi, it was as if a layer of skin on his face had been torn off.
He exclaimed.
Su Jianyue threw the torn facial mask into the trash can accurately.
Then use your fingertips to gently massage the excess essence onto your face.
"I'm not poisoned. This is a facial mask. Look, after applying it, isn't my skin moisturized and looks much better?"
Su Jianyue put her face close to Xiao Yuqi's.
Xiao Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Su Jianyue retracted her face and continued pressing.
"I didn't know you would come here suddenly!"
Su Jianyue shrank back inside, leaving the seat outside for Xiao Yuqi.
Looking at his big beard, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
"I have prepared the food and water. What about you? When do you want the goods?"
Xiao Yuqi sat next to Su Jianyue, his eyes full of anger, unable to suppress it.
"I didn't even enter the city gate. I saw from outside that group of people, in order to enrich themselves, they controlled the life-saving water source of the people and charged by the bucket. A bucket of water was sold for as much as three taels of silver. Isn't this forcing them to rebel?"
How can people live without water?
How is food harvested?
"Those noble families are of the same blood and want to force me out of that position. How easy is it for me to break up this situation?"
Su Jianyue paused as she applied the essence.
There was a great reform system in ancient times that has continued to this day.
That is, the imperial examination system.
Before the implementation of the imperial examination system, the feudal system led to the rise of aristocratic families.
They hold most of the power tightly in their own hands.
The so-called selection of virtuous and capable people refers to the young people trained by their aristocratic families.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuqi.
A young emperor without a maternal family and without any support can build up his own power step by step and get to where he is now. I am afraid no one can understand the pain he has gone through.
"Have you ever thought about recommending a poor family member?"
Su Jianyue looked serious.
"If the aristocratic families share power, then you will need a brand new team to compete with those aristocratic families."
The army alone is far from enough.
"Tell me in detail!"
Xiao Yuqi seemed to understand something, but he couldn't fully understand it.
Su Jianyue said: "The so-called confrontation does not only refer to the confrontation of force, but also the confrontation of thought. For example, you would never have thought that two thousand years later, our country can operate normally without an emperor. This is a breakthrough in thought."
"In your dynasty, poor people couldn't afford to go to school, and their thoughts would only stay on the small piece of land in front of their own door. But what if everyone could afford to go to school?"
It was as if heavy dark clouds were broken by the fiery sunshine, revealing colorful light and illuminating the earth.
Xiao Yuqi was excited. "If everyone can read, understand reason, and know what is right, they will rise up to resist the injustice they encounter."
"Yes, they will resist, so what you do is to give them a way to resist, let them know that they can also have the opportunity to lead their families and tribesmen to succeed and become the center of power!"
Su Jianyue nodded, "Everyone can read, and then the examinations will be held. First, the local college examinations will be held. Only those who pass will have the opportunity to take the provincial examinations organized by the prefectures and counties. Those who pass can participate in the joint examinations held every three years, which is to go to the capital to take the exams. Only those who pass the exams can take part in the final palace examination. The chief examiner of the palace examination is the emperor himself, and the top three will be admitted, namely the top three, the top three, and the third place."
The more he listened, the brighter Xiao Yuqi's eyes became.
"We call this system the imperial examination. After layers of screening, the talents that are finally selected are all disciples of the emperor. They will become the sharp knives in your hands. When good talents meet a wise ruler, the power in the hands of the aristocracy will be disintegrated step by step, and the political power will be concentrated in your hands. Peace and prosperity will be just around the corner!"
How could Xiao Yuqi sit still?
"Yes, you are right!"
He stood up and paced around the room. Everyone has ambitions and desires. The reason they didn't resist in the past was because they didn't have the opportunity and the desire to rise up.
What if he provided such an opportunity to ordinary people and told them that they could still think this way?
Why should he worry about not having good talents at his disposal?
Xiao Yuqi, extremely excited, clapped his hands on both sides of Su Jianyue, causing the heavy Simmons bed to shake twice.
