Xiao Muqing's words immediately garnered the agreement of the other generals. Liang Qi said: "Among all the nations, Ann Army is the strongest, if one's Ann Army is to become stronger, one's fighting strength would definitely not be weak."

"That's right, taking the battle of Fengyang for example, General Bai Qing commanding two hundred thousand Ann Army, defending the lone city, and being able to withstand more than three hundred thousand Chuan Army for a month's worth of assault, can be said to be a miracle!"

Nie Ze's face was filled with admiration, and praised: "You have to know that Chuan Army is best at fighting hard battles. In that situation, even if it was us Feng Army, we might not necessarily be able to survive!"

Xiao Muqing laughed out loud, and said: "Seems like General Nie admires and admires Bai Qing. After we absorb the Ann Country, General Nie will accept her!" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and continued, "It's been said that Bai Qing's husband has long since died."

Nie Ze's face reddened. Not only did he not retort, he supported his chin and said seriously: "This matter, is worth considering."

Qiu Zhen glanced at Tang Yin at first, and then coughed heavily, reminding him: "The two of you, we are discussing national affairs right now, if you want to talk, go back home."

Xiao Muqing and Nie Ze awkwardly laughed and did not speak any further. However, after being disturbed by the two of them, the atmosphere on the stage became a lot more relaxed.

Tang Yin did not say anything the entire time, but observed everyone's expressions while listening to their discussion.

Amongst the people present, the one who acted the most relaxed and at ease was Cai Gui. Although he did not say anything, he maintained a confident smile on his face.

Tang Yin knew that Cai Gui was very talented, and his brain was even better than Qiu Zhen's and Shangguan Yuanji's.

He cleared his throat, and indicated for everyone to temporarily stop their discussion, and then looked at Cai Gui, and laughed: "Cai Gui, why have you not spoken a word? "What do you think about the military service?"

Hearing that the King was asking about him, Cai Gui immediately bowed and said, "Great King, this humble subject believes that we cannot just blindly seek for the use of force. At least before we use force, we must first use tactics."

"Oh?" Tang Yin's interest was piqued, and he asked: "Then tell me, what plan should we use?"

Cai Gui pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Please give this humble subject a month's time, in a month, this humble subject will definitely give you a plan of extermination!"

Oh, what a tone! Everyone present looked at Cai Gui. Even with so many of them gathered together, they were still unable to come up with a viable plan. How could Cai Gui alone think of a plan to eliminate them?

"Master Cai speaks quite highly of himself. Do you know that there are no jokes before the throne?" Zhang Xin sneered, his face was full of contempt as he glared at him.

"Of course this official knows." Cai Gui said with a smile.

"If you are unable to give me a plan to destroy you after a month, you will be committing a crime of deceit. Your head will have to fall off ?"

Without waiting for Zhang Xin to finish, Cai Gui laughed loudly and said: "Master Zhang, how about we make a bet?"

Zhang Xin was startled, and asked: "Betting ? "Betting on what?"

"One month later, if this official can't give you the plan to destroy your peace, then this official will personally apologize. If you hand over the plan to destroy your land, how about we exchange our positions?" Cai Gui said with a smile.

"That..." How preposterous! This... Isn't this child's play? " Zhang Xin was so angry that his face was flushed red, as he turned to look at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was also amused, he shook his head and said: "This kind of wager, is indeed too childish. Cai Gui, if you really can do what you said, then the position of the Head Adviser will be yours. "

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed. Right now, the authority of the Participant's Hall and Military-political Hall had increased, and the people controlling them had become more and more important. Because the positions of the general adviser of the Participant's Hall had always been empty, there were many ministers who coveted this position, and Zhang Xin was one of them.

Just as Tang Yin finished speaking, Cai Gui stood up and kowtowed, and said loudly: "This humble subject thanks Great King for her grace."

"Don't thank me yet." Tang Yin said with a smile: "Let's settle this first!"

"This humble subject understands." After Cai Gui stood up, he intentionally looked at Zhang Xin with gratitude. The meaning in his words was, it's all thanks to you ?

Zhang Xin saw clearly, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, but after thinking about it, he laughed inside, he really wanted to see, what kind of abilities does Cai Gui have to be able to think of a plan to kill him within a month.

Due to Cai Gui bragging about the use of troops, they were temporarily delayed. During this time, Tang Yin took advantage of the time when he was dealing with the affairs of Huan Country and started to recruit new soldiers, continuing to increase the Feng Army's military strength and reserve of its troops.

Following the further increase in the Feng Army, Tang Yin also had plans to build the twelfth army. The twelfth division was still made up of infantry, so their strength was definitely not a problem, but the choice of people from the Regiment Chief made it difficult for Tang Yin.

Amongst all the generals in the Feng Country, it was too easy to find a general who was capable of leading three great armies and a brave battle. However, to choose a general who could command ten thousand horses in the Chiliarch, it was not easy.2

Tang Yin specially asked for Qiu Zhen's opinion on this matter, but it was a very serious matter, the commander of the army was responsible for the lives of the soldiers, so Qiu Zhen did not dare to casually give him a choice.

In his opinion, there was only one person in the imperial court who was capable of being the commander, and that was the head of the garrison, Lei Zhen. However, Lei Zhen did not have the taboo in Feng Country, so he could not bear the heavy responsibility.

Even though he said that, Tang Yin was still worried about this matter. Sometimes, even he could not understand, with such a huge Feng Country and a population of hundreds of thousands, how could the talents used by the imperial government be so weak?

Towards this matter, he had truly studied it and finally found the answer. It was because there was a problem with the mechanism of how Feng Country were used.

Right now, the people in Feng Country were mainly those who were recommended by the local officials and the government officials. However, it was hard to avoid people with selfish motives, and the recommended talents were mixed.

As for the Sage Summoning Order and Martial Summoning Order that Tang Yin issued, they were not every year. Even if they were issued, the number of people that could be recruited would be very limited.

The mechanism of using people in Feng Country had to be changed, and it had to be changed in a straightforward manner. Tang Yin thought about it, and in the end, he could only think of the imperial examinations.

From a modern point of view, the imperial examination system had its own drawbacks. However, in the current era, the imperial examination system was the most practical, most suitable and most popularized system for selecting talents. It was at least much more advanced than the aristocratic succession system and the official recommendation system.

With a rough idea, Tang Yin then passed his thoughts to the political hall, and the political hall would formulate a plan and let him have a look at it, after he confirmed the plan, he would then make it known to the public.

From their perspectives, they had never seen such a way of nurturing and selecting talents. If they wanted to accept all of it, it would take a certain amount of time.

Tang Yin did not have the time to waste on the political hall, he could only give out the order and within ten days, the political hall would have to submit the specific implementation plan, if they did not hand it over within the prescribed time limit, they would not comply with the order.

With a single sentence, the ministers of the Political Hall began to busy themselves day and night.

Ten days later, the Hall of Political Affairs finally gave a concrete plan to implement the imperial examination system. "In the political hall's plan, all the countries in the country would build academies, Spiritual Martial Academies, and Military Academies. They would guarantee that each county would have at least one advanced academy, Spiritual Martial Academy, and Military Students. Each city would have at least one elementary academy, Spiritual Martial Academy, and Military Academy.

Elementary academies, Spiritual Martial Academy, and military academies would send their outstanding talents to the higher academies, Spiritual Martial Academy, and military academies. Through studying and nurturing in the higher academies, they would then transfer their outstanding talents to the imperial government for uniform selection.

After Tang Yin saw this plan, he carefully studied it a few more times before making substantial modifications.

He combined the Spiritual Martial Academy and the military academy into one and named it the Spiritual Martial Academy. In order to build a school, he would need to spend a lot of money and also build it in different parts of the country. The extra kind of school would cost an astronomical amount of silver, and from his point of view, there was no need to divide the school between the Spiritual Martial Academy and the military academy. In addition, there must be a limit to the number of people that can be recruited into the Spiritual Martial Force. It must be guaranteed that all students can be requisitioned by the military, otherwise, it would be unfair if they have studied for many years, spent a lot of money on tuition fees, and were not recruited by the military.

As for the Academy, there was no need for the quota. On the contrary, in Tang Yin's opinion, everyone should come to the Academy to study. He even planned to implement the study room's reward and punishment system for all his own citizens who came to the academy to study, and would instead punish those who did not come to study. Doing so might cause the Feng Country to become powerful, and the treasury to become empty, but he understood in his heart that no country had died because of education, and only stupidity and backwardness would cause the country to be plundered and swallowed.

Of course, with the current power of the Feng Country, it was still not enough to open so many academies, so he could only temporarily suppress this plan.

He sent his revised proposal back to the Political Hall and had them discuss it. After confirming that there were no changes, he made it public in the Imperial Court.

When this plan was revealed, all the ministers present in the imperial court were dumbfounded. A wave of opposition soon followed.

Firstly, the concept of the recommended system had already been deeply rooted in them. Many ministers were dissatisfied with Tang Yin's order for the Sage Summoning and Martial Summoning, but now that they had to completely abolish the recommended system, how could the ministers accept it?

In addition, many of the ministers were making a fortune by relying on the recommendation system, which was also a huge source of income other than the Salary s. Some even received more money than the Salary s, so once this privilege was abolished, their lives would be much poorer than before.

Even those ministers who did not accept money and carefully recommended talents objected to this plan, because in their eyes, only those ministers recommended talents who were truly talented and virtuous would be a pillar of this plan.

No matter whether it was the selfish or not, all of the ministers were hugging each other in opposition. This caused Tang Yin to truly feel how terrifying the difference in views was.
