Fan Liang continued, "Besides the above suggestions, that sage also gave me another suggestion."
"But I feel this suggestion is somewhat radical, yet very fair."
Looking at the curious faces below, Fan Liang directly said, "This suggestion concerns the promotion and selection of all officials in our Blackwater Kingdom."
"That is to abolish hereditary titles and offices, the recommendation system, the nine-rank system, and implement selection through examinations."
"Adopting the imperial examination system to select outstanding talents to serve in positions at court."
Just as Fan Liang had predicted.
When he revealed this suggestion, everyone except Xuanjizi looked utterly shocked.
They had all obtained their current positions through nepotism and intended to arrange their descendants in the court as well.
However, if the imperial examination system was implemented, it would be much more difficult for their descendants to enter the court.
