"Very good!"
"The results of an examination can only represent the level of one's skills for a short period of time, and are of little reference value to the court."
After Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I propose that in the future, there will no longer be number one, second place, and top pick in the palace examination, there will no longer be Huiyuan in the joint examination, and there will no longer be Jieyuan and Yayuan in the provincial examination. There will only be grades. There is no specific ranking!”
"For example, in the palace examination, from now on, there will no longer be only three first-class scholars, but it will be appropriate to expand the number ten or even twenty times; the second-class scholars will also be increased, and the same will be true for the third-class scholars!"
"In this case, scholars only know what level they are at, but they don't know who is the highest. In this way, it will be difficult for scholars to emerge!"
As far as Zhu Youxiao knew, later generations also required not to publicize the number one scholar due to some bad influences, and to conceal the specific performance rankings of students, etc. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed necessary to do so.
"Yes! This does not affect the imperial court's selection of academies, but Shujishi is still a bit of a scholar, because only those who pass the Shujishi examination are rare, and they have always had a high status among scholars and are highly respected."
Liu Hongxun replied.
"Then abolish the shujishi system. Whether it is the Hanlin Academy or the Academy of Sciences, including other ministries, academies, temples, prisons and other central government agencies, all can regularly apply for recruitment quotas from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and conduct examinations according to the needs of their own offices. Admit Jinshi who have not yet become officials."
"This type of exam will be called the Ministry Examination from now on."
"With the increase of Jinshi in the future, the imperial court may not necessarily have enough official positions for Jinshi. Therefore, it is appropriate to conduct ministerial examinations to screen and determine which Jinshi are suitable for which official duties."
Zhu Youxiao therefore ordered.
"In this case, in the future, scholars of this dynasty who want to become officials must first pass the county examination, government examination, and college examination, until they enter the provincial examination to enter a higher education institution. After graduating from the higher education institution, they can take the Jinshi examination and then become an official. But if they want to To become an official, you can go to various ministries to take exams and then be hired as officials in each ministry. This also makes it difficult for Jinshi to get along with the officials, and some Jinshi can choose good positions by bribing officials from the officials."
Lu Xiangsheng elaborated on Zhu Youxiao's instructions.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "That's it. In fact, the world's scholars don't necessarily have to be famous in the officialdom. However, thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge, and they waste time and even lose their reason, just for one person. For the sake of fame, he will not hesitate to commit the crime of beheading!"
"In today's world, is it not the way out to be a bank employee, a factory manager, or a scholar to become a senior technical officer by learning a certain technology?"
"Of course, I also know that changing the concept of people in the world changing the concept of being good at learning and becoming an official cannot be accomplished overnight. Therefore, what the court can do is to make it less difficult to obtain the honors of Jinshi and people. Anyway, now Jinshi and people are promoted There are no more economic exemptions and exemptions, and the political status is not much different from that of the common people, so expanding enrollment is nothing, and it can even show that our education in Ming Dynasty is improving, and our achievements in education are far greater than those of the previous dynasties!"
"You guys should discuss how many places should be expanded for the next imperial examination. It would be best to expand the enrollment every time. You can even increase the frequency of the imperial examination. I hope that everyone in the world will have the qualifications to be a Jinshi in the future!"
"Your Majesty, if we continue to increase the number of Jinshi and Juren scholars, I am afraid that the level of Jinshi and Juren scholars will decline, and some people who are not qualified to become Jinshi Juren will also become Jinshi Juren. I am worried that this will affect the future of Jinshi and Juren scholars. The good and the bad are mixed, and it is difficult to serve as the inheritor of Chinese culture."
Zhu Xieyuan replied worriedly at this time.
Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly: "Nowadays, people who want to prove their literary talents by taking a test do not hesitate to use various shortcuts, do not read poetry and books, do not understand and think in life, but just memorize historical texts, Is it possible to use this method to make all the people who are Jinshi and people become talented people?"
When Zhu Youxiao asked, Zhu Xieyuan could no longer refute, and replied: "What your Majesty said is that I did not think carefully! If this is the case, in the long run, the world's scholars will gradually realize that the promotion of Jinshi is not like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. , and to realize your own value, you have to continue to work hard for the rest of your life.”
"That's right, how can we relax in life? It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat!"
Zhu Youxiao didn't want to say it directly. He just asked the scholars to roll up, so he just replied: "It is already the thirty-fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the entire Ming Dynasty is in a stage of rapid change. Last time Bi Aiqing was able to pass After visiting the world and discovering the shortcomings of the empire's economy, I decided to go out to the capital for inspection next, so you can make preparations."
Your Majesty wants to tour the world?
The ministers were a little surprised after hearing this.
But they weren't too shocked either.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had left Beijing before.
"Tell the emperor's eldest son to return to the capital and temporarily serve as the supervisor of the country as the emperor's eldest son. He can make decisions on small matters and report on major matters."
But what Zhu Youxiao said next shocked the ministers.
No one expected that Zhu Youxiao would suddenly transfer the emperor's eldest son back to Beijing to serve as supervisor of the country.
Because of this, Emperor Dayou already liked him as the crown prince.
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
Liu Hongxun, the real eldest son of the emperor, was very happy and was deeply afraid that the emperor would regret it, so he hurriedly replied, naturally not having the slightest intention to dissuade the emperor from leaving Beijing to tour the world.
Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but secretly sigh that his majesty was really as cunning as a fox. He knew that the eldest son of the emperor was no longer liked by many powerful people in the world, but he suddenly asked him to be the supervisor of the country. It was clear that he wanted to make the powerful people in the world feel uncomfortable, instead of Dare to have any bad thoughts towards the Emperor during his inspection tour.
Because if something happens to the emperor, doesn't it mean that the successor is the eldest son of the emperor?
So who wants to see such a result?
Zhu Xieyuan and others also responded: "I obey the order!"
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Wen Aiqing and Lu Aiqing will accompany the guards, and the other assistant ministers will stay in the capital. Wen Aiqing and Lu Aiqing will arrange the tour."
"According to the order!"
Wen Tiren and Lu Xiangsheng also replied.
…
"Next year is the year of the great competition, but the emperor has issued an edict that in the future, the palace examination will no longer have the names of No. 1, No. 2, and Tanhua, Huiyuan in the general examination, Jieyuan, Yayuan, and Jingkui in the provincial examination. There will no longer be one. A will also expand the number of recruits tenfold, and there will no longer be a test of the common people!"
Here Chen Wei talked to his father Chen Qiyuan about the further reform of the imperial examination.
After hearing this, Chen Qiyuan couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, there will be no better literati in the world!"
"Father is right. The imperial court has also changed the system of officials. In the future, many local offices will be added, and officials will be treated the same as officials. This is obviously against the ancestral system. However, under the helpless power, there is no way If people dare to disobey, it will be difficult for local subordinate officials to work only for me, the Jin gentry."
Chen Wei said.
Chen Qiyuan nodded and said: "This imperial power is going to go deeper and deeper into the ancestral hall here!"
Then, Chen Qiyuan asked: "Is there any other news?"
Chen Wei looked solemn and said: "Yes, but please don't get too excited, father."
"You say, as long as the eldest son of the emperor is not allowed to stay in Haining."
Chen Qiyuan replied.
"The emperor's eldest son will no longer stay in Haining, but will be transferred back to the capital. In addition, His Majesty will also patrol the world."
Chen Wei replied.
"This is a good thing. It's better to leave Haining!"
Chen Qiyuan said.
Chen Wei replied: "But the eldest son of the emperor will be the supervisor of the country!"
"What?!"
"What did you say!"
boom!
Chen Qiyuan fainted and fell to the ground again.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Someone come quickly!"
