Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 702: Liver Explosion
Demon King Calendar, mid-June of the year 649.

Morning, 7 o'clock.

After finishing her morning prayers, Viola began to work in the office.

"Your Majesty, your hand has stopped."

"My dear Prime Minister, your hand has also stopped."

"..."

Viola and Wendy looked at each other and sighed.

When will this life of exhaustion end?

The lords who had contributed to the restoration of the country had now returned to their respective territories. After all, the princes had stayed in the capital for a long time and had some intention of replacing the emperor. The lords did not dare to risk such a great disapproval from the world, and they said goodbye and went back shortly after the enthronement ceremony.

However, due to the purge of a large number of surrendered nobles who had once been in the capital, there was a serious shortage of officials.

The lower-level officials are still okay, but the ones in the court are really not enough.

Although some officials who had fled when the Silver City was breached have returned one after another, this number is far from enough to support the operation of the country. Viola has a headache about this every day. If she hadn't asked Oldie to help, she would have made a mess of it and would have dragged her here long ago.

In Viola's expectation, the best case scenario is that she is only responsible for the general issues, and the specific details are handled by her ministers. If a cabinet can be formed, it would be even better.

But no matter how much is planned, it is just a plan at present, which is empty and does not exist.

It is very troublesome to recruit new officials.

To give the simplest example, as an official, you must at least be literate, right?

China's compulsory education is a miracle. It has eliminated illiteracy on its own. Even the so-called developed countries that accumulated primitive capital by plundering others cannot do this.

In the demon realm, which is not much better than the Middle Ages, this is naturally a big problem.

It is said that the literacy rate is less than 10%, and this includes people who can only write their own names.

There are many adventurers like Nimea who cannot read a single word, and there are even some ordinary people who will never come into contact with anything related to writing in their entire lives.

In this case, how do you suggest we recruit more officials?

So after much thought, Viola decided to learn from the advanced experience of the gods.

For example, establishing an imperial examination system.

——The imperial examination was indeed an advancement for them.

At present, the method of selecting talents in Avarus and all the Demon Kingdoms is still the recommendation system. This leads to the fact that the power of the aristocratic groups is actually very large, and nepotism is everywhere.

After all, people who have the ability to learn culture are either rich or noble, and the power of the aristocracy will grow like a snowball.

So, if we implement the imperial examination system in a place where most of the common people are illiterate, wouldn't it be the children of aristocrats who will eventually pass the examination?
actually not.

Don’t forget, as I said just now, those who can learn characters are either rich or noble.

In addition to the nobles, there are also wealthy businessmen.

Merchants do not have any political rights. Once the channel to obtain political rights is opened, a large number of merchants' children will flock to it.

Moreover, the children of merchants serving as officials are fundamentally different from hereditary aristocrats, and the two will form different circles in the court.

This is the party. Viola only needs to make a good balance strategy, and the situation where the aristocratic group dominates will no longer exist, and there will be no situation where the tail is too big to shake off.

When businessmen entered the market, this trend spread to the people, and of course some people among the people would be tempted to become officials through the imperial examination.

At this time, Viola established an academy in the name of the country, recruiting students with low or free tuition, and finally these students entered the court to become officials.

Then three forces will be formed.

As we all know, the triangle is the most stable. No matter whether there are small circles among them, as long as Viola maintains balance in this general direction, she will not make mistakes.

Once the country can function normally, we will then form a cabinet and improve the laws. Even if a mediocre devil appears in the future, the country will not be in chaos and will operate independently with mutual checks and balances.

Obviously, this measure will arouse opposition from a large number of nobles. Viola has only leaked the news now, and every day a large number of nobles line up to meet Viola for detailed discussions.

The nobles certainly do not want their rights to be diluted by a group of merchants' sons or even commoners, so it is normal to have such a reaction.

Viola had to withstand the pressure, because if she didn't do it, the other demon kings who came after her would have even less chance.

Take India as a typical example.

Even in the 21st century, India still has a landlord class. With their existence, it is impossible to carry out industrialization reforms in the country. After all, you are not getting on the right track at all.

India will retain the landlord class because it did not eliminate them at the beginning of the founding of the country, and this elimination can only be carried out by physical means at the beginning when they are in the limelight.

Viola's current situation is similar. She is the key figure in the restoration of Avarus. Her prestige is so great that even if she wants to reduce the power of the vassal states, the lords of various places will have to consider whether to rebel.

Only at this time can Viola carry out drastic reforms. If a new demon king comes to power, he will definitely not have the courage and prestige to do so.

Of course, Viola also hopes that Li Chengxi can help, such as performing a miracle when announcing the reform to show that the Demon King agrees with the reform.

Now the power of the Demon King's Cult is spreading throughout Avarus as fast as a virus. Although it has not yet reached the point where everyone wears the holy emblem, no noble wants to be punished by the Demon King for opposing a policy.

Having said that, taking drastic measures is one thing, but we cannot be careless when it comes to the implementation of specific policies. Every detail must be taken into consideration as much as possible, and we should first conduct small-scale trial runs to confirm that there are no problems before gradually promoting them nationwide.

This is a slow process and you can't be impatient.

So there was no way a bunch of people would suddenly appear to help Viola deal with these documents that were enough to bury her.

However, the person who handled the documents did not come, but the person who knocked on the door came.

"Come in."

With permission, the guard knight at the door pushed open the door, and two men, one tall and one short, wearing brown and yellow cloaks entered Viola's office.

It seemed that he was hiding his head and showing his tail, but when I noticed the pair of pointed ears, he had already pulled off his hood.

"Zhuoya? Why are you here?"

"Your Highness... No, Your Majesty, we heard that you successfully restored your country, so Lindi sent us here."

The tree elves Zoya and her sister Leah from the Spring Forest have not appeared for a long time. To be precise, they have not been seen since Viola led her army and left the Leon territory.

Tree elves will not fight for outsiders, and they will not even take up arms unless the forest where they live is threatened.

The druids of Spring Forest have been working as agricultural technicians in the Leon territory. They will not help with the war, so they have not been seen for a long time.
