Upon realizing this, everyone's faces fell, their eyes dimmed, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen in their hearts was completely extinguished.
An official looked at Cao Song with some reluctance, and then said respectfully, "Since the Grand Minister of Agriculture speaks in this way, he must have a good plan. Please teach me, Grand Minister of Agriculture!"
"Please, Grand Minister of Agriculture, teach me!" The rest of the crowd also bowed to Cao Song.
"Hmm... well..."
Cao Song closed his eyes, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everyone with a smile.
"I do have a solution!"
"What is the solution?" an official asked anxiously, while the others looked at Cao Song expectantly once again.
Cao Song smiled slightly and said slowly, "The number of admissions will definitely increase! And it will be increased significantly! However, we can add some categories!"
"Subject? What is the subject?"
The officials were puzzled and asked for the reason.
"If the selection process is solely for the purpose of becoming an official, then no matter how many more positions His Majesty increases, the Yuan, Yang, and Xun families will undoubtedly hold onto them firmly."
Therefore, I believe it would be better to request His Majesty to increase the number of recruits by expanding enrollment in medical schools, agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, and even the Imperial Guard, and to allocate them randomly! Those who are suitable can become officials, and those who are not can study in several colleges.
Those people always look down on those things, so they certainly won't put much effort into them. Only in this way will your chances be greater. What do you think?
After hearing what Cao Song said, the group exchanged glances, and some hesitation began to creep into their hearts.
In fact, as Cao Song said, not to mention the Yuan family and the Xun family, even they themselves did not attach much importance to medical schools, agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, and so on.
If our own children pass the exams and get into those places, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
"Heh~ What? You guys have so little confidence in your own children?"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Cao Song couldn't help but sneer, feeling even more contempt for these short-sighted people.
Cao Song's words made the faces of the hesitant crowd turn somewhat unpleasant. One official gritted his teeth and spoke up:
"What the Grand Minister of Agriculture says is true. The problem with our family's sons is not a lack of talent, but rather a lack of opportunity. If they can seize the opportunity and still can't get promoted, they can't blame anyone else!"
"Heh~ That's more like it~."
