Ma Zhong, the Minister of Personnel, was almost forced into the car by Li Jie. Although he was promoted from doctor to minister because of Li Jie, after the promotion, he almost offended the entire Jiangnan officialdom. Not to mention other places, even the officials in the Ministry of Personnel were not willing to deal with him.

The reason why Ma Zhong can still call on officials from the Ministry of Personnel is mainly because Li Jie is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, so officials from the Ministry of Personnel have to obey orders. However, if Li Jie leaves, Ma Zhong will probably be criticized by thousands of people.

Several doctors who used to compete with Ma Zhong for the Assistant Secretary are now waiting to see Ma Zhong's jokes every day. After all, even if Ma Zhong is their boss now, if he becomes a lonely man in the future, he may not be able to survive in the officialdom.

Li Jie also saw Ma Zhong's situation. Now that the situation of the official has stabilized, he is planning to return to Beijing, and he has not forgotten Ma Zhong's hard work during this period, so he wants to take him back to Nanjing.

"Go to Beijing?" Ma Zhong was stunned when he heard Li Jie's words. Just over a month ago, he could only sit on the bench in the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel. However, now he has not only become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but also to Beijing. You must know that for the officials left behind in Nanjing, going to Beijing is the dream of most people. After all, it is the new capital, and the career will also have greater development.

It is precisely because of this that when Ma Zhong suddenly heard the news, he finally realized it after a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "Is the prince-consort really willing to take me to Beijing?"

"Of course, I know your current situation. I am not the one who burns bridges across the river. Now that you offended so many people, of course you can't let you stay here anymore." Li Jie replied with a smile.

"Thank you, the prince consort!" Ma Zhong immediately bowed to Li Jie with ecstasy. During this period, he was also worried about his future. He even considered sending his family back to his hometown and staying alone in Nanjing. Even if there was anything, he would not involve his family. However, he did not expect that Li Jie had already considered it for him, which made him feel that he had not followed the wrong person.

"Okay, you don't have to thank me. Actually, I'll take you to Beijing not just to help you avoid the exclusion of the Nanjing officialdom, but the most important thing is that I will use you in the future!" Li Jie said with a smile again.

"When I was used?" Ma Zhong was stunned again, and then he realized, "Is it just the beginning that the official who was in the Jiangnan officialdom was transferred to an official position?"

"You are very smart!" Li Jie smiled with great appreciation, "This time the transfer of an official is just the beginning, or a test. As long as this opening is opened, a larger gap can be opened in the future, thereby completely changing the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty."

"The prince-consort really wants to abolish the imperial examination?" Ma Zhong looked at Li Jie with a complicated expression and asked. He was also a scholar, and he had also gone through a lot of hardships to pass the imperial examination, which led to his current official position. So if Li Jie really wants to abolish the imperial examination, he certainly felt a little repulsive.

Li Jie hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: "It is not my purpose to abolish the imperial examination, or I had considered abolishing the imperial examination before, but later I found that doing so was not realistic, so I have changed my mind now."

"The prince consort's idea is..." Ma Zhong also asked curiously.

"Introduce a kind of competition, or add a new way of becoming an official!" Li Jie replied frankly.

Ma Zhong is a man with good abilities and is now on his own pirate ship, so in the future he will promote the transfer of officials to the whole country and become a normal state in the Ming Dynasty, he also needs a trusted subordinate, and Ma Zhong is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Why, is there anything wrong with the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination and asked in confusion. In his opinion, the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination are already very unfair. No matter what origin, as long as you can pass the imperial examination, you can become an official. Is there anything more fairer than this?

"Of course it's not appropriate. You are also a scholar. I think you know many scholars. I'm afraid none of these people are real poor people, right?" Li Jie asked with a serious expression.

"This... Although reading does not cost more than practicing martial arts, it costs money to write, ink, paper, ink, and books. Therefore, families who can afford to read generally have to be of the best." Ma Zhong thought about it before answering that he was a poor student, but he also had dozens of acres of fertile land in his hometown, otherwise he would not be able to afford his study at all.

"That's it. There are the most poor people in the world. They work all day long to have a meal and have no time to study, let alone participate in the imperial examination. Therefore, the imperial examination can only be fair to a few people, and for the vast majority, there is no chance at all!"

When Li Jie spoke at the end, his face became very serious. Although he could not do absolute fairness, in fact, there was no absolute fairness in this world. But he still wanted to do his best to give as many people as possible a fair opportunity.

Facing Li Jie's eyes, Ma Zhong couldn't help but look ashamed. When he was young, he had a passionate heart and wanted to use his own abilities to change all kinds of injustice in this world. However, as he grew older, he forgot his ambitions and ideals when he was young, and at most he just insisted on a few bottom lines without breaking through.

Now Li Jie's words made him feel the long-lost passion. At the same time, he finally knew why Li Jieneng sat in his current position at a young age. Although everyone called Li Jie the son-in-law, everyone knew that Li Jie's real strength came from him, not because he married the princess.

However, after admiring him, Ma Zhong suddenly frowned again, and then asked in confusion: "No, even if an official is transferred to an official, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to become a minor official. Many minor officials need to read and write. Some clerks have higher requirements. Generally, poor people don't even know words, so of course they can't become minor officials?"

"Your sentence is just a question!" Li Jie laughed, and then explained again, "So the transformation of officials into officials is only one part of it. Next, the court will vigorously promote public schools. Unlike the current public schools, they only want to teach and educate people. Poor children are also qualified to enter school. As long as they are willing to study, they will have the opportunity to enter various yamen as officials in the future. If they perform well, they can naturally be transferred from officials to officials."

Originally, except for the deceased Lao Zhu, only Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi knew about this plan. However, the first part of the plan has begun to be implemented, so it is time to disclose some situations to the people who are executing it so that they can better implement the entire plan.
