Chapter 241 (1/2)

There was a pen holder and ink on the desk. Yan Chong spread the paper on the table, picked up a pen and began to answer.

The paper is very large, about the size of the newspaper he bought in Lieyang city. It is about half a meter long and about 30 centimeters wide. There are many titles printed on both sides.

The positive problems are mainly simple arithmetic and geometry problems, which are about the level of elementary schools in the earth's China, as well as some of the cultural geography, customs and habits of the western continent, and the history of the Maka Empire, which are taught in general schools.

Although Yan Chong had never been to a general school, he had been to the university library to browse relevant books, especially the humanities and geography of the western continent.

These knowledge are the most basic knowledge. Unlike the magic array like card learning, if you can't reach a certain level of intelligence, you can't remember by rote. Naturally, Yan Chong never forgets, so he answers easily.

On the opposite side are multiple choice questions and short answer questions.

Multiple choice questions are like personality tests and corporate spirit fit tests for recruitment on earth. They provide you with a scenario to choose your next behavior.

These questions are naturally to examine the examinee's personality, whether they are willing to accept new things, whether they have the spirit of innovation and so on.

The short answer question is a discussion of some political views to examine the candidates' views on the present imperial political system.

This topic is very bold in the Maka Empire, because in the past, even ordinary people had different views and suggestions on the political system of the Empire, but they could only discuss it in private. No one dared to publicize it publicly, even professionals.

These rights are in the hands of the aristocrats, and the majority of the aristocrats are professionals. Whether it is power or strength, they crush the ordinary people.

But in Yan Chong's opinion, this is very normal, so he answered without pressure.

For example, one question is: what do you think of the house system? How to ensure the implementation of the house system?

He took the parliamentary system of a European country as a reference, devolved the power of the house of Lords to the house of Commons, and pointed out that only in this way can the system of Parliament be truly implemented, otherwise it will soon be in name.

The house of Lords only has the power to review and postpone laws and regulations, while the house of Commons has legislative power and supervision power. The emperor is superior to the house of Representatives and has the right to veto one vote and the right to nominate a speaker.

At first glance, it seems to infringe on the interests of the aristocrats, but in essence, Princess Sophia's purpose is to reduce the rights of the aristocrats and concentrate their rights on the royal family, and the upper and lower houses are controlled by the royal family in secret, so this is more in line with her interests.

All the nobles who did not listen to her were almost wiped out by her in the coup in July.

A hundred years ago, it was because the nobles scattered their power seriously, so the three courts found an opportunity to split the Maka empire. Therefore, even if the nobles reshuffled, they still dealt with the symptoms rather than the root causes.

What Sophia wanted was to divide the nobles and the common people into two opposing factions, fighting each other, and then the royal family would sit in the middle, mediate on the surface, and control everything behind their backs.

Especially in the war time, the centralization of power can achieve high efficiency, and the superficial democracy can make the atmosphere of Empire more harmonious and calm the people's resentment.

Of course, there are still Royal countries on earth, and most of them have lost their rights, which is obviously impossible on an endless continent.

As long as there is transcendence, the most powerful family or organization is the supreme ruler.

In another question, candidates are asked to discuss the criteria for selecting officials in the Empire.
