Chapter 181

As he spoke, he also glanced at Su Xuan.

There was some expectation in his eyes.

From some of his daily words and concepts, Xi Zhicai could faintly feel that his Lord's many ideas were different from those of the current era; it was not impossible for the selection of officials to be independent of background under his Lord's hand.

Seeing Xun You You did not have a special feeling about this.

He was born into the Xun clan and could not resonate with Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu on this matter.

But he was exceptionally intelligent and could understand a part of it.

Su Xuan, hearing the emotions of Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, said with a light smile: "Then look forward to it!"

"Who can say for sure about the future?"

"Perhaps, in accordance with the needs of the era, that day might arrive early;"

"Before that, we just need to be prepared!"

When the time is ripe for the imperial examination system in the future, it is not impossible to introduce it.

But at least the conditions are not ripe yet.

He is prepared to vigorously promote education in Nanjun, establish academies, and primary schools, etc.

Recruiting and cultivating high-end talents and grassroots talents respectively.

At the same time, after the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo will disrupt the government, and the warlords will begin to contend for hegemony.

He will comprehensively promote paper, printed books, etc.

Thoroughly lowering the cost of reading and vigorously cultivating basic talents who can read and write.

Finding ways to popularize education step by step.

By then, it will be the time when the imperial examination system is truly realized.

Su Xuan paused and continued: "Additionally, no matter how the method of selecting officials changes, it will inevitably be influenced by personal identity and background;"

"It just depends on the magnitude of the influence."

"The current 'Filial and Incorrupt' system was, once upon a time, actually a very excellent system;"

"It is just that, with the passage of time, as times change, no matter how good a system is, under human manipulation and selfishness, it will gradually become a hotbed of decay, affecting social progress."

Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu fell into deep thought.

Seeing Xun You You nodded in agreement: "The Lord sees things clearly! There has never been a perfect system;"

"The final effect still depends on the people who execute the system;"

"Moreover, every reshuffling of institutional policies is accompanied by countless bloodbaths and power struggles, a reshuffling of the vested interest classes;"

"In this process, if one is not careful, one might be doomed;"

"Therefore, if the Lord really wants to promote reform and change the laws in the future, one must not be overly hasty;"

"It is best to be slow, in the manner of boiling a frog in warm water; a slow transition is the best choice;"

"Of course, in a true era of chaos, in extraordinary times, one can also do extraordinary things;"

"It is just that the degree must be grasped well;"

"Otherwise, it will become a disaster; I hope the Lord knows this."

How could Seeing Xun You You not understand what talents like Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, who rose from the grassroots, wanted to change?

As a vested interest in the current system, he should have stopped and opposed the appearance of such signs.

But he was not a short-sighted person.

He knew very well that the decay of the Han was accompanied by the decay of classes and systems.
