Chapter 19: The Imperial Examination System in Another World

Christine's injury was more troublesome than expected. Even though An Ruoran bought various antidotes to treat it, even though Via volunteered to take care of Christine every day, the toxicity that was integrated into her body did not dissolve smoothly, but would recur from time to time. Seeing this, An Ruoran could only leave the cold beauty to stay for a while, and also took in her two guards who suddenly appeared.

"Hey, what have you done? You've only appeared now?" Looking at the two female swordsmen who had reached the advanced level, An Ruoran only felt very angry. If these two guards were next to him a few days ago, he might not have to be so embarrassed that he hugged Christine to hide in the face, and there would be no poisoning incident.

"It has nothing to do with them, this is my order!" Hearing An Ruoran's apology, Christine frowned slightly and explained. It was not that she was dissatisfied with An Ruoran, but that Weiya, who was applying medicine to bandage her, hit the wound when applying ointment, which made the cold beauty unable to bear it.

"Sorry, did I touch your wound?" Weiya apologized softly, but her eyes had already fallen on the black ointment in her hand. No one saw a smile on the corner of the woman's mouth - is the wound? Perhaps after applying this ointment, the hidden toxins will only slowly aggravate!

"No, it's okay!" Perhaps because of thanks to Via's care for the past few days, Christine relaxed her tone. In fact, these two beauties have gotten along well in recent days and have a vague trend towards their close friends. From An Ruoran's perspective, Christine is not completely unkind, perhaps she is just unwilling to deal with others.

This is of course good news, at least it can ensure that the casting house will not catch fire in the backyard. Another good news is that the assassins suddenly disappeared after the assassination failed and never launched a second wave of attacks. The city defense force, who had originally planned to follow the clues, lost the final clue, which led to Emperor Arthur reprimanding several times in three days. In fact, this Majesty was quite dissatisfied with the evil incident that occurred in the imperial capital this time, and even appointed His Highness Artest to personally investigate the case.

But in the eyes of discerning people, I'm afraid His Highness Artest had received a hot potato, because the assassins did it too cleanly and didn't even leave any clues. However, Artest himself didn't care much. While urging the city defense force to investigate, he also openly invited An Ruoran to go through the mansion in the name of investigation. This kind of open conspiracy naturally made His Highness Junan secretly complain, so every time An Ruoran appeared in the fifth prince's mansion, he would appear accurately by chance...

For example, An Ruoran had just taken Vivian off the chariot, and His Highness Junan arrived on time on the other side on a white horse, even if the appointment was made, it was not so accurate. Artest's smile suddenly solidified on his face. He realized very clearly that his chance to win over today had been shattered again, and all this was because of his lingering brother.

"I said, are you planning to greet your brother like this?" Ignoring Artest's face completely, Junan put his shoulders straight on his shoulder, and picked up An Ruoran on the other side, and the three of them walked into the gate of the mansion side by side. After a while, they were already sitting down by the small lake in the garden to drink red wine, and Vivian naturally had a maid to take him to play elsewhere, and also enjoyed the chef skills of the prince's mansion.

"Then, you guys go back! Mr. An, how about trying the red wine that has been treasured in my mansion for many years?" He personally poured the red wine for Jun An and An Ruoran. Artest ordered the servants and maids to retreat, leaving only an old housekeeper to serve next to him. An Ruoran expressed his gratitude slightly, then opened his arms and said helplessly: "Two Your Highnesses, what are we going to talk about today? Should I re-describe the detailed process of the assassination that day?"

"No need, I'm just looking for an opportunity to chat with you." Artest did not hesitate and arranged for the uninvited Jun to be apart. "Mr. An, I heard that you are creating some new equipment recently. So, can you let me see it?"

"Eh, how much benefit did you give Naya?" Without thinking, An Ruoran knew who betrayed him. However, Artest's intelligence was very accurate. Since the assassination, An Ruoran has been considering how to increase his speed - for example, some prop that can fly at high speed may help him deal with agile speed opponents, and it is also conducive to escape... No, strategic transfer!

"Flying Qibao? Mr. An, there are many ways to achieve flight. There is no need to cast Qibao!" Artest and Junan looked at each other, and seemed to disagree with it. Whether it is flying magic or flying monsters, they can help people realize their dream of flying, so why do you have to rely on Qibao? Moreover, from past experience, the flying Qibao cast by the magic caster mostly combines magic elements and metal, which is really unsatisfactory in terms of speed.

"Actually, I'm just trying it out. Maybe it's different from the previous flying treasures." An Ruoran smiled, but did not continue to say it. After all, this is just a concept and it's not that easy to implement. However, his expression was understood by the two Your Highness as hiding his own private life. Jun An took a sip of coffee and sighed sincerely: "Mr. An, if you are willing to serve the empire with your ability, you may be the chief master in less than twenty years."

"Forget it, I'm just a little clever lucky person. How can I compare with those great casting masters?" An Ruoran smiled and vaguely rejected Jun'an's invitation again. "In fact, there are talents everywhere in the world, just to see if the empire will dig. I'm exaggerating. The empire has a population of nearly 10 million. Is it difficult to select thousands of outstanding people from them?"

"This is probably not easy." Junan and Artest looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The empire is vast and has a large population, so it is not easy to dig out talents by themselves? Therefore, they have always been recommended by lords and nobles from all over the country, and the moisture in it can be clearly seen by anyone.

"Is it difficult? I think it's easy, as long as you try to make the nobles not object." Perhaps because of drinking too much red wine, An Ruoran was dizzy and couldn't help laughing, "Since the recommendation system is not good, then implement the imperial examination system to ensure that those talents are flocking to you."

"Imperial Examination?" Junan and Artest stood up at the same time, showing a look of listening. An Ruoran gently turned the wine glass and said lightly: "That's right! This system can be divided into two parts - first, various unified disciplines are established across the country, and professional teachers are dispatched and trained to teach, with children and adolescents as the main targets; second, a layer-by-layer assessment and selection system will begin to be implemented after several years, such as town tests, city tests, district tests, national tests, and court tests."

"Let me give an example. If you want to select a magic casting master, you can set up a magic casting master school across the country and send a magic casting master to teach. After five years, you will be able to perform the assessment according to the layer-by-layer assessment and selection system I mentioned. The group of people who can participate in the court examination must be very good! As for this, they can be appointed as officials or awarded titles. With these two temptations, I believe that those talents will flock to them."

With the increasing alcoholism, An Ruoran spoke in a great way, and almost transformed everything he knew about the imperial examination content. Junan and Artest became more and more frightened. Of course, they understood the risks and shortcomings of this system, such as the need to invest a lot of time and financial resources, and it is likely to trigger protests from some nobles. However, compared with the benefits that this system can bring, the shortcomings mentioned above are insignificant and can be overcome.

For an empire that implements hereditary system, its greatest danger is not the invasion of foreign enemies, but the corruption caused by the decline of internal hematopoietic opportunities. A very important point among them is that the metabolism of talents cannot keep up with the development of the times. However, if this imperial examination system is available, the empire will have a steady stream of talents that are constantly updated - to put it more exaggeratedly, as long as the emperor and the upper nobles are not stupid enough to be like pigs, then relying solely on these talents can support the foundation of the empire.

As soon as he thought of this, Junan and Artest looked at An Ruoran, and the expression was completely different from the expression of looking at a genius demon casting master. Perhaps in the eyes of the two high men, this Mr. An is not just a suitable candidate for a chief casting master, perhaps he can also display his talents in other aspects.

In silence, Artest suddenly coughed lightly, raised his glass and said, "Mr. An, for your suggestion, let's have another drink! By the way, if you don't mind, can you write this imperial examination system into a document in detail and let me study it carefully?"

"No problem!" An Ruoran looked up and drank the red wine, but suddenly smiled and said lightly: "This is just to give you my favor from last time. If you plan to ask me what you want next time, I will charge a consultation fee - one hundred gold coins per hour, the price is fair, and the same is true."
