Fast time travel: I sell mobile phones in another world

Chapter 66, Chapter 65

There are many forces staring at the meat pie of enfeoffment officials.

Among them, the major families are the most.

Tang Yan fought so smoothly along the way and basically unified the world in six years less time than Liu Yanan. One of the reasons was because he accepted the olive branches offered by major aristocratic families without scruples.

It was cool to use it at the time, but now the disadvantages appear.

Aristocratic families, big and small, all contributed to the new dynasty, so they naturally wanted to divide their meat.

But the normal trend of the feudal dynasty should be that the world family is declining.Tang Yan can't look at the new dynasty he brought down with his own hands, and turn back the wheel of history.

Things like aristocratic families only think about benefiting their own family, so they must be suppressed.

But it is not so easy to suppress these families.

Simuyu, Bai Huankang and other top strategists who were not from aristocratic families discussed in Tang Yan's room for a long time, but they didn't come to any conclusion.

Tang Yan watched the crowd's quarrel and smiled without saying a word.

It was Si Muyu who knew Tang Yan best, so he cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty has a clever plan."

Tang Yan: "I...cough, I have a plan, all my lovers, please listen."

Everyone immediately quieted down, quietly waiting for Tang Yan to speak.

Tang Yan smiled and said, "How about using weakening my power as a bait, what do you all think?"

Smart people don't need to talk too much, the people below are all top counselors, and they immediately understood the meaning of Tang Yan's words.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor wanted to centralize power, and the aristocratic family wanted to share power, which would inevitably be contrary to the emperor's interests.

But now His Majesty wants to fight with the aristocratic family, so that both the imperial power and the aristocratic family's authority will be cut off.

And the power that has been cut off is most likely to be distributed to civil servants.

The few below are all civil servants.

Everyone's thoughts were spinning for a while, wondering whether His Majesty's words were true or false?
How could the emperor be willing to take the initiative to divide power?
Could it be that he was testing these ministers?

A smart person thinks a lot, and he agrees with Tang Yan's proposal 12 times in his heart, but he blocks it when he speaks it.

Seeing everyone's beautiful words, Tang Yan couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Of course she knew what these civil servants were thinking.But these civil servants didn't know what she was thinking.

If she really traveled to this world, she would spend her whole life here.Whether it is for a more comfortable life in the future or for the display of ambitions, the centralization of power must be strengthened.

In this case, Tang Yan would not accept the olive branch thrown by the family when he was fighting.I would rather prolong the front line for a few years, and I don't want to be stained with the dog skin plaster of the aristocratic family.

But now, she estimates that she will be able to complete the task and go home in a few years, so she can look at this matter from a very objective perspective.

Concentrating too much power on the emperor alone, if you encounter a foolish emperor, it will definitely be the common people who suffer.

She has insight from the future and can't guarantee that every decision is correct in the long run, let alone the next emperor who is obsessed with the authorities.

So a few years ago when Tang Yan accepted the olive branch from the aristocratic family, Tang Yan had made up his mind that he would fight for power with the other party to the detriment of both sides, so that civil servants and common people would benefit.

Tang Yan sighed lightly.

When did she, a carefree female college student, have such deep and long-term thoughts?It was terrible.

I don't know if I can adapt when I return to campus life?

She ignored Si Muyu and others' obstruction, tapped the table lightly, and made a decision.

"The authority in this world cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person. I have made up my mind, so there is no need for you to persuade me."

Everyone wanted to say something more, so Tang Yan went directly to the next topic.

"I called you here today mainly to discuss the resumption of the imperial examination."

There used to be imperial examinations in the previous dynasty, but due to the war, it has been suspended for two times.

Moreover, the imperial examinations in the previous dynasty were also different from the imperial examinations in Tang Yan's impression, and their importance was much lower.

For example, in the aspect of appointing officials, only a small number of officials were selected by the imperial examination, and most of them still relied on the favor of their families.

And Tang Yan wants to increase the importance of the imperial examination and select students from poor families.This is also the most effective and long-lasting means of fighting against the family.

Tang Yan had a general understanding of the original ancient imperial examinations in the world she lived in, so he proposed a big frame, and Si Muyu and others were responsible for filling in the details, and it was quickly completed.

At the same time, the ranks of officials are still the same as those of the previous dynasty, but some detailed divisions have been made in it, and the system of cabinet ministers has also been added.

Tang Yan was going to distribute part of the rights that originally belonged to the emperor to several cabinet ministers.

Most of the officials will be selected from this year's imperial examination.

Except during the founding period, there will be some officials appointed directly by Tang Yan.In the future, all official positions in the imperial court, except for those with titles, must be held by students who have passed the imperial examination.

By the time the imperial examinations and official positions were finalized, it was getting dark.

Tang Yan left all the civil servants for dinner, and then sent them out of the palace.

On the second day, he directly announced to the world that except for officials in essential positions, Tang Yan would appoint them first.Other officials are temporarily vacant, and suitable candidates will be selected by the imperial examination two months later.

And if you want to be an official in the future, unless you have a title, you must pass the imperial examination.

This move immediately angered the big families.

The aristocratic family would definitely not be able to defeat Tang Yan in terms of military strength, and it was impossible to fall out with Tang Yan in the open, so they could only trip her up in the dark, letting the new emperor know that the aristocratic family was not easy to mess with.

But does Tang Yan care about these?
She doesn't care that her authority is weakened by the family.

Because the weakened rights were not assigned to the family.Instead, they were assigned to civil servants by the appointed cabinet ministers such as Simuyu and Bai Huankang.

This matter was tacitly approved by Tang Yan, and it was closely related to the interests of civil servants.

So the old fox and the little foxes all exerted 12 points of strength, overwhelming the family.

Tang Yan watched helplessly that the power belonging to the emperor was weakened, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

He also helped the military generals win a lot of benefits when the civil servants distributed power.

At the same time, officials have greater power, but they cannot remain unsupervised.

Taking advantage of the convenience of his mobile phone, Tang Yan launched a supervision system.

That is, all the students who passed the Tongsheng Examination can score the local officials, and the scores are sent directly to the emperor's mobile phone, and the emperor sends it to the cabinet for the cabinet's reference.

This move is actually Tang Yan's distribution of power to ordinary people with some knowledge.But Bai Huankang and the others thought that His Majesty was reminding everyone because he saw that they were dividing power too ruthlessly.

Everyone was very convinced by Tang Yan, so they stopped what they were doing.

Thus, a power-sharing drama began vigorously, but ended peacefully.

The greatest power is still in the hands of the emperor, but the cabinet ministers restrict the emperor, and ordinary students restrict the local officials.

The most miserable ones are the aristocratic families, who didn't get any power, so they were busy for nothing.
