Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 933 893: The Footrest
Lin Yi's attitude was very strong, leaving no room for any rebuttals.
And just like that, the nature of this matter was directly decided by Lin Yi.
The imperial examinations, originally held every two years, were directly changed to every four years by Lin Yi. Furthermore, the number of candidates accepted each time was doubled.
Thus, it meant every examination could admit candidates equivalent to the previous two batches.
The examinations held every four years did not face any hindrance.
In this way, the only beneficiaries were naturally the impoverished students, those who lived far from the Capital City. They could finally spare time to study and learn.
Of course, this alone wasn't enough. Lin Yi certainly had his backup plans.
In addition to changing the examination cycle from two to four years, Lin Yi also established a separate department dedicated to marking exam papers, implementing certain requirements and rules, such as the reform to cover names.
This meant that during examinations, candidates' names would need to be covered with a paper.
And this paper could only be removed after the results were announced.
This would effectively ensure no cheating occurred during the process.
Not only that, but there was also a special department established to monitor. Its duty was to patrol exam halls and supervise marking instructors.
Of course, although these reforms provided some relief for impoverished students, they couldn't completely prevent the elite from exploiting their resources.
Regarding this, Lin Yi wouldn't just stand by idly. He had already planned follow-up measures.
And he had arranged accordingly, but it wasn't the right time to reveal them yet. Some secret measures needed to be executed discreetly.
Currently, his forces were weak, lacking many subordinates.
Precisely for this reason, he didn't intend to disclose everything. He feared that revealing all would lead those flawed individuals to form alliances.
Or they might infiltrate the department he intended to establish.
Thus, the morning court session lasted for nearly two hours before ending.
After the morning court session, key members were called into the small hall for another nearly two-hour discussion.
During these two hours, Lin Yi directly set down most of the provisions for the examinations.
As a result, when the meeting concluded, everyone wore a rather unsightly expression.
No one expected the new monarch to introduce such a matter during his first court session.
This made everyone quite displeased.
However, after this morning session, they deeply realized the assertiveness of the new monarch, knowing he was not one to be trifled with.
They even began to regret not opposing him back then.
Even if opposing him had meant losing their official hats, so what?
After all, it wasn't just them opposing; had they objected then, maybe this predicament wouldn't exist now.
Once the examination system is changed, it would be a devastating blow to their influential families.
It could be said to directly cut off their foundation.
Of course, it's too late to say anything now; they regret it all too late.
Since Lin Yi had already rightfully seated himself as the Right King.
Even if someone jumped out now, what's waiting for them would be the raised knife.
But now, they haven't stopped to think; even if they had opposed back then, what would have been the use?
Would Lin Yi have listened to them? Or could they collectively overpower Lin Yi?
However, these are all side matters; let's not mention these individuals lamenting over their woes, but focus on Lin Yi establishing this system.
Watching them leave the annex hall, Lin Yi's lips couldn't help but curl slightly, revealing a playful smile.
This smile was Lin Yi's signature move.
Regardless of whether he was happy or displeased, he'd always flash this mischievous grin, leaving others guessing.
Perhaps this was his masking technique; neither joy nor displeasure revealed anything in his expression.
"Heh. Do you think I'm unaware of your little thoughts?
But in my presence, your intentions are ineffective, and I will not follow your wishes.
I want to let you know that Dayou is mine, not only Dayou, but the entire Earth is mine."
He spoke, slightly extending his hand to look at his white palm, then curled his fingers into a fist, his lips showing a mischievous smile.
At that moment, a eunuch's voice suddenly echoed from outside:
"Reporting to His Majesty. Wu Shan has prepared everything for you. Please proceed."
From the previous two hours to another two, nearly eight hours had passed.
During these eight hours, deliberating on matters meant Lin Yi hadn't eaten at all.
Not only Lin Yi, but even the old ministers hadn't eaten or drunk anything.
Yet Lin Yi didn't feel anything, as his current physical condition was incomparable to an ordinary person's.
Not to mention going without food or drink for eight hours; even eight days wouldn't hugely affect him.
For this reason, he didn't feel any hunger.
But hearing the eunuch's words now, he lifted his head, looking outside, and stood up to walk out.
Regardless, he was still human, and though he felt little hunger, normal meals were necessary.
No hunger now didn't mean there's food in his stomach, nor did it mean his body could sustain itself.
Seeing Lin Yi rise and walk out, the eunuch quickly approached, waved a hand, and an entourage swiftly came running towards Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi waved them away:
"Enough, everyone stand down. I don't need such things."
