I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory Chapter 115.2
anwhile, Lin Beifans reputation as the foolish emperor grew even stronger!
But Lin Beifan continued to do as he pleased, dealing with state affairs during the day and then spending his nights with the Consort.
Just then, a voice as clear as a silver bell rang out: Little foolish emperor, long ti no see. You still like to act recklessly, huh?
Lin Beifan watched with delight as he noticed Yaoyao had arrived.
She was still dressed as always in black clothes, with her hair done up in two buns, her bare feet swinging back and forth as she sat on the wall, looking very cute and mischievous.
Yaoyao, long ti no see! Have you missed during all this ti we havent seen each other?
With a whoosh, Yaoyao appeared in front of Lin Beifan, slightly tilting her head up and cocking it to the side. she said,
I missed you a little bit. Otherwise, I wouldnt have co to see you!
Only a little bit? Lying isnt a trait of a good child! Lin Beifan challenged.
Isnt a little bit enough? How much more do you want? I, Yaoyao, am very busy, and its already pretty good that I can spare a little ti to think of you. Dont be ungrateful! Yaoyao retorted stubbornly.
Alright! Lin Beifan sighed sadly.
Full of anticipation, Yaoyao asked, Little foolish emperor, after such a long ti, have you missed ? Have you kept in your heart? Answer honestly, no lying!
Lin Beifan shook his head: No!
Yaoyao beca angry: Really? You havent?
Lin Beifan said, I havent missed you; Ive only thought about sleeping with you!
Yaoyao:
Lin Beifan continued, I havent kept you in my heart; instead, I prefer to keep you in my bed!
Yaoyao:
A mont later.
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
After another mont, Yaoyao, while using her little hands to help Lin Beifan promote blood circulation and disperse bruises, said indignantly, Lets see if you dare to spout nonsense and babble again in the future?
Lin Beifan felt wronged: It was clearly you who asked to answer honestly. I tell the truth and you pinch !
Yaoyao, with her hands on her hips: You feel wronged?
Lin Beifan retorted, Shouldnt it be that way?
Im asking you to bear it one more ti!
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
Yaoyao was puzzled: I havent even pinched you yet?
Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively: Lets just pretend its already happened!
Yaoyao burst into laughter: Little foolish emperor, Im truly utterly defeated by you!
Afterward, the two of them engaged in idle chatter, talking about the recent imperial examination.
Yaoyao said with annoyance, I told you not to hire the offspring of noble families, and you agreed, but then you went and made a declaration: noble families and dogs shall not be allowed to enter the Great Xia Kingdom, offending all the noble families in the world! Please, even if you want to act rashly, you should at least choose your targets! Offending a few noble families is one thing, but offending them all, how do you expect Great Xia to develop in the future?
Lin Beifan replied calmly, So what if theyre offended? Look at my Great Xia. Without the support of noble families, isnt it still developing vigorously and getting better and better? Those noble family offspring co here to take part in the imperial examination because they see Great Xia improving and want a share of the prosperity.
Countless facts have proven that in any country, once the number of noble families increases and they seize power, the country inevitably heads towards its doom! Because they are all parasites of the nation, only looking to enrich themselves at the expense of the public good! They dont care about the state of the country; as long as their own family interests are not hard, thats all that matters!
Therefore, I would never let them co in and hold office unless Ive lost my mind! Rather than being constantly on guard, its better to cut off their path from the beginning and never give them the chance to hold office in Xia!
You do have a point.
Yaoyao tilted her head, but if you want to continue to develop, youll inevitably have to do business with the outside world! In the outside world, over thirty percent of business and economic activities are controlled by noble families, and they more or less influence another thirty percent! By cutting ties with them now, its going to be difficult for you to develop!
Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively, Not necessarily! My Great Xia already has enough population and resources to develop on its own! If we ever run out of resources, we can always go to war to solve the problem quickly!
This is where Lin Beifans confidence lies!
His Great Xia has abundant resources, with a rich variety, fully capable of supporting tens of millions of people!
If resources are insufficient, they can always go to war!
How many countries can withstand the iron hooves of his Great Xia?
Therefore, he didnt take the blockades and threats of those noble families to heart at all!
He would welco it if they dare to co and cause trouble!
He will definitely make them understand why the flowers are so red!
But what about talent? You always need talent for developnt, and you need talent to manage a country, right? With your current bad reputation, the noble families are uniting all the scholars to boycott you. Recruiting talent must be extrely difficult!
Lin Beifan laughed: Actually, thats not a problem at all! Although the noble families have many scholars, which is indeed a strong force, there are even more grassroots scholars and no shortage of talent among them!
Its just that, because noble families have always controlled the courts of various countries, these scholars cant rise to prominence. They live their lives in frustration, unrecognized for their talents. But now, I am providing them with a great opportunity!
I dont need the scholars from the noble families, which is equivalent to clearing the obstacles for the others! As long as they have talent, they will have the chance to stand out. If they are smart, they should understand the reasoning and co to Great Xia to participate in the imperial examination!
In this way, wont I have the talent I need?
Forget it, I dont understand these things. You just take care of it yourself! But if you need help, rember to tell , and I will definitely use the power behind to help you! Yaoyao patted her chest and promised.
Lin Beifan was deeply moved, taking hold of Yaoyaos small hand: Yaoyao, you are so good to !
Yaoyao panicked, her cheeks flushing: Why are you grabbing my hand? Let go!
Yaoyao, dont leave today!
If I dont leave, where else can I go
Lin Beifan whispered: Co to my sleeping quarters tonight, we can talk about life and discuss our dreams! And when the mont feels right, we could have a big, chubby boy. Wouldnt that be wonderful?
Yaoyao:
A mont later.
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
Hmph! I really cant expect anything refined to co out of a dogs mouth! Im leaving! Yaoyao ran off with a flushed face.
At this ti, the 300 talents selected from the imperial examination participated in another round of the palace examination, where the best among the best were chosen.
Finally, the top three scholars the Zhuangyuan (top scholar), the Bangyan (second place), and the Tanhua (third place) as well as other jinshi (successful candidates) were selected.
Then, based on their respective abilities, they were assigned to positions in the Six Ministries and Nine Courts, as well as various governnt offices.
With this, the court finally began to operate efficiently.
During the process of holding the imperial examination, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Linfu, had perford very well. Not only did he find enough talent for the court, but he also helped Lin Beifan make a fortune. As a result, Lin Beifan promoted him and granted him a noble title, making him the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
At this mont, Minister of War Cao Cao arrived: Report to Your Majesty, you commanded your humble servant to recruit 300,000 troops, and your humble servant has accomplished the task! However, Your Majesty, although our Great Xia now has ample military strength, there is an issue that must be given serious consideration!
What issue? Lin Beifan asked.
Report to Your Majesty, our Great Xia severely lacks talented generals capable of commanding in battle! When our forces were smaller, it was not much of a concern, but as our military strength grows, if we do not have enough generals to lead, various problems will arise!
Lin Beifan nodded in deep agreent.
