The breathing of the officials in the throne room suddenly became heavier.
What was the point of becoming an official? Fame was for profit and also to help the Sage Path.
Being a master teacher in an academy was better for one's cultivation as there was no political entanglement. However, it was not like being an official could protect one's future generations.
However, being a master teacher in Fang Yun's academy was completely different. The benefits of being a master teacher far exceeded the benefits of being an official.
Being an official could at most make one's descendants rich for a few generations. However, whether it was the Algae Fish, the Incense of Wisdom, or other treasures, they could all bring great benefits to one's future generations. Not to mention, it would also be of great help to one's own position.
If Fang Yun had said this at the beginning, they would not have believed him. Those were treasures that even a Notre-Dame desperately needed. However, Fang Yun had generously given the Incense of Wisdom to the three Grand Scholars when he first met them at the Left Minister's Pavilion. They had no choice but to believe him.
Many officials immediately began to calculate in their hearts whether it was better to continue being an official or to become a master teacher in one of the academies as soon as possible.
Obviously, Fang Yun's reward was too tempting. When the time came, there would definitely be a large number of scholars applying for a master teacher position. If they did not apply as soon as possible, they might not even be able to take up a position in a few years.
After all, compared to the number of scholars in the entire Saint Origin World, the number of master teacher positions in those academies was pitifully small.
Yang Xuwen smiled and said, "Fang Xusheng, this Old Man is old and cannot be an official for many years. After resigning, can you go to an academy and take up a position without any responsibilities?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Although the five academies are specialized schools, they also require students to study Confucianism and other subjects. You are a famous scholar in Jingguo. Perhaps you will become a great scholar in a few years. If you go to teach, it will be like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. I can't ask for more."
Zhang Poyue added, "I also reserve a position, but I will try my best to work part-time."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Only Jingguo's laws allow it. Officials of the imperial court can also work part-time."
Everyone instinctively glanced at the Empress Dowager behind the curtain. They all noticed that the Empress Dowager's breathing became erratic.
Once Fang Yun established an academy, Jingguo's talents would definitely go to Jingguo.......... Although these people represented Jingguo's power, it meant that the imperial family's power..
Fang Yun actually proposed a part-time job. Although it might be a win-win situation, it might also be digging at the roots of the royal family. However, it was difficult for the royal family to object because it would offend the entire bureaucracy.

.....................................................
The Empress Dowager had a feeling that Fang Yun was indeed seizing power. However, it was not to attack the imperial family or to proclaim himself as the emperor. He had a bigger goal. It was just to affect the imperial power.
It was just like how people would accidentally step on some ants when they were moving forward.
There was nothing wrong with ants, and there was nothing wrong with people.
Yang Xuwen and the others were the first to express their goodwill. The rest of the officials were no longer reserved. They all praised Fang Yun's action. It was Jingguo's fortune. This was second only to Kong Sheng's private academy.
However, these officials praised Fang Yun not because of their personal desires. They admired him. They knew that it was not easy for the Five Halls to establish an academy in Jingguo. Fang Yun must have made a huge sacrifice.
After the discussion about the academy, Fang Yundao said, "The second step is to revert to the old ways. Everyone has seen that blindly reverting to the old ways will not work. Therefore, the third step is to change the direction. "
When they heard the words "change the direction," all the officials widened their eyes and listened carefully.
Fang Yundao said, "I have said before that benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette are like a flawless white hand, while profit is like black ink. How can the white hand not be black when holding the ink? I wanted to get rid of the ink before, but my colleagues objected. Therefore, I sincerely changed and did not let my flawless white hand touch the dirty profit. The etiquette of the human race starts from the worship of the heavens. It should belong to the heavens. How can it be tainted by the filth of the secular world? Of course, this matter needs to be planned slowly. It cannot be rushed. Next, I will start from the Ministry of Personnel and work on profit. If there is anything wrong, my colleagues can advise me. I will follow the eight words: if there is something wrong, I will change it. If there is nothing wrong, I will encourage it. "
Sheng Boyuan said, "Fang Yundao, I think that the imperial court is like holding the ink with a white hand. We can't abolish the ink just because the ink is black, and we can't stop touching the ink just because our hands will be dirty. The sages of the past have always weighed benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and profit. What we need to do is to stain our hands as little as possible with the least amount of ink, and at the same time, make the ink benefit Jingguo to the greatest extent. Therefore, I do not agree with Fang Xusheng's move to abolish etiquette and profit. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Minister Sheng, you have misunderstood. I did not abolish etiquette. I have even discussed with the Hall of Rites to give etiquette a higher status. Of course, this needs to be changed slowly. I should say that the imperial court's profit this time is under the supervision of etiquette. As long as it does not violate the etiquette and the cabinet reaches a consensus, it can be implemented. "
Sheng Boyuan asked, "Now that the position of Minister of Culture is vacant, there are only three of the four ministers. If the three of them agree, will the cabinet reach a consensus?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Of course not. There are not only the four ministers in the cabinet, but also the cabinet councilors and ministers. I have a good plan that I will implement. "
"Please enlighten me, Minister Fang," Sheng Boyuan said.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "In Jingguo, the cabinet councilors are all high-ranking officials, such as the ministers of the six ministries, and so on. Although the governor, the governor, and the governor are not in the capital, they can still pass on letters and discuss politics. As for the ministers, there are too many titles, and the good and the bad are mixed together. Soon, we will discuss it again. However, whether it is the four ministers, the cabinet councilors, or the ministers, they are all officials of Jingguo and should have the right to participate in politics. My initial suggestion is that the ministers in the cabinet can decide on the less influential government decrees. If there are objections, they will discuss it with the officials. The more influential government decrees will be voted on by the cabinet councilors. Only two-thirds of the people in the cabinet agree, then they can be implemented. As for the more influential government decrees, the ministers should also participate. If more than two-thirds of the people in the cabinet support, then the government decrees will be passed. Of course, this is only my initial suggestion. If the officials disagree, I will improve it. "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, the throne room was silent.
Almost all of the officials revealed a look of horror.
They had seen a similar system in Fang Yun's "Political History". Moreover, there were certain hidden rules in the bureaucracy of various countries. For example, if the officials objected too strongly, the government decrees would not be officially promulgated.
However, the previous political battles of various countries were carried out under the surface, and each followed the hidden rules.
Now, Fang Yun had set clear and formal rules, and everything was carried out on the table. This completely subverted the decision-making method of Jingguo and even the Ten Nations.
Zhang Poyue asked softly, "Minister Fang, this bureaucratic system seems to be completely different from all the countries in your" Political History "."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "If you read the" Political History "carefully, you will find that among the more than 200 countries listed in it, none of the systems, political systems, and official operations are completely the same. The new system of Jingguo naturally does not exist in the "Political History". I have given this system a new name. The cabinet centralization system! "
