"Your master?"
Ying Wuji looked the guard up and down and felt that he had a strong yet restrained murderous aura. It was obvious that he was officially trained and was definitely a master.
Look at the pattern on his left shoulder, it is the unique symbol of Qingjiang Palace.
The person who is a member of the princeling party is probably Zhao Ling.
He made a gesture: "Please lead the way!"
Then he took his personal maid Bai Zhi and followed the guards to the restaurant on the other side of the inner river. This restaurant was quite high-end and luxurious, with an average consumption of twenty taels per person. Normally, Ying Wuji would not be willing to come here.
Top floor private room.
Ying Wuji pushed the door open and walked in. He sat down opposite Zhao Ning without any hesitation and poured wine for them. "Brother Zhao, thank you for your expense. You gave me a thousand taels just the day before yesterday. Today you are treating me to such expensive wine. How can I feel good about this?"
After saying that, "Guji" took a sip of wine.
He looked at Zhao Ling in the bright candlelight and felt that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and looked very heroic. He was almost as handsome as himself.
If he hadn't mastered the art of transformation, he would never have been able to tell that she was actually a girl.
Even in her original female form, she was incredibly beautiful.
No one knows which princess she is. Not only is she so beautiful, but she has also become the prince's confidant.
Zhao Ning smiled slightly: "Brother Ying, you are too polite. The other day, Brother Ying's words were of great significance, which cannot be measured by mere gold and silver. In fact, I am the one who took advantage of you!"
Ying Wuji raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then why didn't Brother Ying strike while the iron was hot and have a long talk with me the day before yesterday, but instead dragged it on until today?"
Zhao Ning smiled and waved his hands: "Because I am sincerely seeking advice. You and I were just casual acquaintances the day before yesterday. Even if Brother Ying is willing to talk, he may not say much. But I helped Brother Ying yesterday, so I believe Brother Ying should be willing to teach me!"
It was naturally the jade pendant that helped, and persuaded the prime minister to retreat.
Ying Wuji smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhao really helped me a lot. I am very grateful to you. Otherwise, I would have to argue with the Prime Minister for a long time about the bookstore. But Brother Zhao speaks so directly, he is more like a businessman than me!"
Zhao Ning asked in return: "Is there any businessman in this world who can be as direct as me?"
Ying Wuji stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before coming to the conclusion: "That's really not the case!"
The two looked at each other and both smiled.
Ying Wuji poured her another glass of wine: "Brother Zhao, if you have any questions, just ask!"
"Imperial Examination!"
Zhao Ning said bluntly: "I would like to ask Brother Ying to tell me what the imperial examination system is like in the world you created."
It is indeed the imperial examination!
Ying Wuji shook his head and smiled. He did not answer the question directly, but asked another question: "Is this the question that Brother Zhao wants to know, or does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to know?"
Today, neither Zhao Ning nor the guard just now concealed the logo of Qingjiang Palace, so there was no need to play dumb.
Zhao Ling asked, "What if I want to know how to do it, and what if the prince wants to know?"
Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "If it's just Brother Zhao who wants to know, then I can tell you everything I know, but if it's the Crown Prince who wants to know, I still suggest that he doesn't need to know."
"Why?"
"Because this action will definitely lead to death!"
Ying Wuji didn't need to say much. In his previous life, he had scored 80 points in the political science exam in the postgraduate entrance examination. With Marx in his left hand and dialectical materialism in his right hand, it was impossible for him not to understand the principle that "economic base determines superstructure."
Although the imperial examination system was not that exaggerated, it was still considered excessive in this world. It was at least ten times more excessive than Shang Yang's Reform.
Shang Yang was torn apart by five horses, which was tragic enough. Now it was his turn... to be torn apart by six horses? After all, it was not impossible to tie him up.
Zhao Ling had expected this answer, but after hearing Ying Wuji say it himself, he couldn't help but feel disappointed: "No room for maneuver?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "No! But..."
"But what?"
"But there is a situation that may be able to achieve this goal!"
"I'd like to hear more about it!"
Ying Wuji looked at her serious expression, smiled and said: "In fact, the main reason why the imperial examination system cannot be implemented is because there are so many princes. It is better to say that the world belongs to the nobles than to the Zhou emperor.
It is not impossible to implement the imperial examination system, but it requires a complete reshuffle of the world situation. There needs to be a force based on the lower class people, who will shout "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?" and then overthrow all the nobles, establish a new unified dynasty, and then implement the imperial examination system while new noble families are not formed.
Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?
Zhao Ling's pupils froze, and for a moment he was lost in thought by these eight soul-stirring words.
But then I thought... I am the kind of person who will become kings, princes, generals and ministers. Even if this method works, I can't be the one to realize the imperial examination system!
And the common people overthrew all the vassal states?
No matter how talented a commoner is, he or she has to rely on aristocrats or schools to have a chance of breaking through the fetal transformation stage. The strength of a commoner is far different from that of aristocrats, so it is impossible for him or her to do this.
She asked again: "Is there no other way?"
Ying Wuji rubbed his cheeks and said, "Yes, there is! Every hundred years, a country will have a Shang monarch, who must be a wise ruler who knows how to use people, and then fight with the nobles in the country. After a few hundred years, they may succeed.
But if this happens, every 'Shang Jun' will die, and maybe even several kings will die. If it's the Gan Kingdom, we can still consider it, but forget about your Li Kingdom! I even thought that you shouldn't come and ask me, otherwise if other people hear it, it will have a big impact on your prince."
Zhao Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Ying, don't worry, this matter will not be related to the prince. After all, you are just an abandoned child of a country."
Ying Wuji covered his chest and said, "It hurts my heart, buddy!"
Zhao Ling felt relieved when he saw him like this: "By the way, Brother Ying..."
As she expected, she gave up the idea of implementing the imperial examination system, but she still wanted to ask other questions.
But just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of the guard outside the door.
"Master, the clerk from Shangmo Bookstore is looking for you."
"Please let him in!"
Zhao Ning waved his hand.
After a while, a waiter ran in in a daze, his voice filled with tears: "Young Master! Young Master!"
Ying Wuji's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly: "What's wrong!"
The clerk was still in shock: "Just now, the Gan country embassy sent a team of guards, tied up all the clerks transferred from the paper shop and took them away!"
"What!"
Ying Wuji quickly figured out the reason and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
That bastard Xun Zhiyin couldn't do anything about himself, so he started to make things difficult for his own people.
After all, these guys are merchants sent by the country of Gan, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Shangyin.
Damn it!
Xun Zhiyin, you are really a dog!
Ying Wuji took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhao, excuse me for a moment. I need to take care of my household chores first!"
He bowed to Zhao Ning and left with Bai Zhi.
Zhao Ning looked at his back, thought for a moment, and quickly followed him.
"Brother Ying, wait for me!"
