Everyone looked at the chief leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuodu Yushi Chen Yi, and saw that his face was calm, as if he was not worried about the matter at all.
On the other hand, Xiao Tan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was on the side, and his face was severely twitched.
At the same time, Yu Qian also answered Wang Wen's question, he said.
"The preliminary plan of the Ministry of War is to select capable people from the Hanlin Academy and the scholars who will take the mid-term exam next spring and send them to the local areas, where the local yamen will coordinate to inspect the military settlements."
It should be said that after experiencing and talking with Uncle Hu Dazong, Yu Qian did become a lot softer, because immediately after, he spoke.
"Of course, this matter still requires the full assistance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Only when the Ministry of Civil Affairs selects capable people can the Ministry of War send errands to them."
The implication is that the Ministry of War has no intention of taking the opportunity to erode the authority of the Ministry of Personnel. The specific candidates are still selected and appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War only wants the final result.
Wang Wen seemed a little surprised by Qian's attitude, but thinking about what he had been busy with recently, it was not so strange.
After all, people change.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Mr. Wang still had to admit that Yu Qian looked much more pleasing to the eye.
However, he still frowned, pondered for a moment, and said.
"Yu Shaobao, I know the determination of the Ministry of War to clean up the military settlements this time, and I also know the huge manpower required to clean up the military settlements. However, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has its own rules."
As he spoke, Wang Wen glanced at Xiao Hao next to him and said.
"Let's talk about the Hanlin Academy first. Most of the scholars who can enter the Hanlin Academy are first-class Jinshis. They are shujishi. They are awarded the title of seventh-rank Hanlin editor or editor from the sixth-rank Hanlin. Nowadays, the shujishi in the Hanlin Academy are almost the same. There are only a dozen of them. If we transfer them, the Imperial Academy will basically be empty."
"Besides, the Shujishi will be disbanded after the new year. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to send them to the Metropolitan Procuratorate at this time."
"Furthermore, the profession of speech has always been very demanding and should not be given lightly. Even those who are new scholars after observing politics in various ministries must pass another assessment before they can be awarded."
"But now, the Ministry of War is so urgent. Could it be that they want to skip the political affairs and directly grant the post of science and education? If so, what will happen if trouble occurs?"
At this point, Wang Wen paused for a moment, as if he felt that what he said was too straightforward, which was a bit refuting Yu Qian's face. It was rare that he also spoke a little more tactfully, and said.
"Yu Shaobao, rectifying the military camp is a big deal. If these new scholars disrupt the place because they have no experience, it will actually be a trouble for the advancement of the entire military camp. Therefore, I am afraid this matter needs to be carefully considered."
The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were divided into top three Jinshi. Different scores determined different starting points.
Generally speaking, those who are in the first grade or three can enter the Hanlin Academy and become shujishi. They will watch the government for three years. After passing the examination, they can stay in the Hanlin Academy as close ministers of the emperor. Later, they will be transferred to the cabinet department, taking the path of Qingliu.
As for the second class, generally speaking, the number of people is variable. Sometimes there are forty or fifty people, and sometimes there are more than one hundred people.
If there are particularly outstanding people in this group, one or two, they can also be specially approved to enter the Hanlin Academy, but most of them will stay in the academy for half a year to observe politics and be called Jinshi to observe politics.
At the end of half a year, based on daily performance and final assessment, the directors of the six departments or the deputy positions of each temple supervisor will be selected and awarded.
Those who are outstanding among them will be qualified to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate and be awarded the title of Censor or Shizhong.
However, this number basically does not exceed ten people at a time.
As for the fellow Jinshi in the top three, they can be directly selected and awarded official positions without observing the government, but they will basically not stay in Beijing. Most of them started as county magistrates. There are a few who are outstanding or well-connected. If there are vacancies in the civil service department, they may be able to Get the assistant and second-level officials at the government level such as pushing officials.
According to Yu Qian's intention, he planned to recruit people from Shujishi first, and then select and appoint censors from among Xinke Jinshi.
As Wang Wen said, doing so is risky.
Shujishi has always been a noble position. If they successfully pass the examination and stay in the Hanlin Academy, they will be awarded either the seventh-grade editor or the sixth-grade editor.
No matter in terms of identity or status, he is a bit higher than the censor.
As a result, now, Yu Qian forcefully wants to intercept people from the Hanlin Academy. This is a sinner's business.
People have been working hard for a year, two or even three years in the Hanlin Academy, not just to end up on the same starting line as those who have only watched politics for half a year and whose imperial examination results are not as good as their own.
In addition, there are also new scholars.
In addition to being awarded local officials by the top three, the principle of Jinshi for the second and first grade is to observe the government. If they are directly selected as censors, these young people who have just entered the officialdom will be in trouble if they cause any trouble. Who will be responsible?
You know, the Ministry of War wants people, but these officials need to be selected and appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. In other words, whether they offend someone or take the blame for trouble in the end, it all belongs to the Ministry of Personnel.
So in this matter, Wang Wen was naturally unwilling.
Like him, there is Xiao Tan, a Hanlin scholar.
As the current head of the Hanlin Academy, Xiao Xueshi is actually very depressed. You must know that the Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui yamen, and it is valued because it can accumulate connections.
Basically, those who go out from the Hanlin Academy will eventually have a place in the court, and at the end they can become third-rank officials. This kind of investment in the future is extremely useful in the officialdom that pays attention to relationships.
Chen Xun, who did not see the Ministry of Industry, was ranked last among the six departments, but if he wanted to, could he find a group of disciples who were old friends?
These are the connections accumulated over the years.
Xiao Tan was transferred from the Imperial Academy to the Hanlin Academy for a short period of time. He was also a year younger. However, due to various reasons, he was never able to establish his real power in the Hanlin Academy, let alone the court. .
He pointed out that this spring, there would be some good seedlings to add more fresh blood to the Hanlin Academy. However, with Yu Qian's actions, let alone adding a few more, Xiao Tan felt that they might not be able to do it, let alone add a few more. Can be saved.
There is also the current group of concubines in the Hanlin Academy.
Xiao Tan admitted that he wanted to send these people away, but not in this way.
If after the school is disbanded, these people fail the assessment and are selected to be awarded the science level, that is a normal transfer.
However, it is not yet time to close the hall, so Yu Qian wants to transfer people, which is actually a taboo.
Again, these shuji scholars have worked hard for two or three years, not just to be on the same starting line as those second-class Jinshi who have been watching politics for half a year and who have not done well in the imperial examination.
This method of selecting and awarding actually lowers the future prospects of Shuji scholars.
Xiao Tan doesn't really care what happens to the common people in the Hanlin Academy now, but he is worried that if this kind of thing starts, it will become a common practice in the future.
If in the future, whenever the court is short of people, the Imperial Academy will come to dig them up, then who can bear this?
And, more importantly, although there is no rise or fall in rank from a sage to a censor, it is undoubtedly a decrease in status in the eyes of the court officials.
Therefore, even if it was purely out of his duties as a Hanlin scholar, Xiao Tan had to stop him.
Therefore, after Wang Wen, Xiao Tan also immediately came out to echo, saying.
"Yes, the Hanlin Academy has transferred subjects, and it is such a large-scale transfer. If it is done rashly, I am afraid that there will be discussions among the government and the public. Moreover, as there are so-called specializations in arts, not everyone in the Hanlin Academy is suitable for transfer. Dao, so this matter still needs to be carefully considered.”
