This is the difference between Li Ke and these generals and soldiers who were born as generals. His thinking is not that of a soldier, and these people have already integrated the soldier's thinking into their bones.
But Li Ke naturally wouldn't say these words here. Anyway, for him, the difference between Yuan Gaisuwen's death and his life is not that big.
"I think the military department has been idle recently, isn't it? The sand table His Highness made is actually quite interesting. You can use this sand table to conduct some deductions, or compete with each other." Li Jing next to him suddenly asked road.
"Okay, I have no objection. It would be good for everyone to have a discussion." Li Xiaogong also said.
So the military's emergency intelligence analysis meeting turned into a discussion meeting. Li Ke didn't care about this. Everyone had confidence, and Li Ke naturally didn't lose confidence either.
After the intelligence analysis meeting, the affairs in Goguryeo came to an end for the time being, and Li Ke's main focus was on the exam.
Chang'an City's test papers have been changed, and the number of students taking the exam near Chang'an City has also been calculated.
There are a total of 33,627 students, including 4,356 students who are entirely from ordinary people's families. This number has exceeded Li Ke's imagination.
At least the proportion here in Chang'an City is much higher than Li Ke imagined. It seems that the people in the capital area who have benefited from Li Ke and know the benefits of workers and all kinds of educated workers are indeed enlightened.
There are more than 33,000 people. Putting aside the most ordinary people, many of the remaining ones are merchants. The merchants here don't just refer to merchants like Bai Ling.
It means that many merchants who can start small businesses are also included. The income of these people is not actually low.
Of course, they are not comparable to those big businessmen, but their income is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people. And they are also the first batch of Chang'an people to come into contact with new things, so it is understandable that their children join in.
Among the more than 30,000 people, the largest proportion are people from wealthy families. There are almost 12,000 of these people.
Of course, these aristocratic families are not all big aristocratic families, there are also many children from poor families, and some children from clans have also joined in.
Moreover, there are some people who came from outside to take the exam in Chang'an, and I don't know what they are planning.
Li Ke didn't care. There were more than 30,000 students in Chang'an alone. To be honest, this made Li Ke feel very good. Of course, this was also because of the new school, so the age difference between the students was relatively large.
There are 30,000 people in Chang'an, and the entire Tang Dynasty has a population of 30 million. Even if there are only a few hundred thousand candidates in the end, Li Ke has already won.
Because there has never been an imperial examination with so many candidates participating.
The job of judging papers in Chang'an City is not easy. Most of the people who judge papers are from Yuelai Trading Company, so they know what kind of person Li Ke is going to test.
In addition, they need to classify these people into different levels based on different answers, and then divide the groups according to their status and answers.
The same question can be answered by a child from a wealthy family and a child from a common people. If the results of the two are similar, then the potential of the latter is obviously much greater than that of the former.
Although it seems a bit arbitrary to simply use grades to differentiate, but after comparing the study time, starting path and other conditions of both parties, the latter can still achieve such achievements, which is obviously that he is smart enough.
However, Li Ke looked at the test results and found that what he expected did not happen. More than 4,000 candidates who were born in common people's families ranked among the last 4,000.
There are no surprises. Obviously, in this era, when learning new knowledge, many children from ordinary families start from scratch to learn literacy. The gap between the two sides is too big.
Moreover, Li Ke took a look at the listed numbers and found that some of the children from top families were almost always among the best.
The difference in elite education is often not enough to make up for the difference in elite education unless you are a true genius.
But what has to be said is that when the base is large, there will be many outstanding talents. Not to mention the candidates from wealthy families, there are only those candidates who came from merchant families and had no chance to participate in the imperial examination.
There are many refreshing talents among them. I wonder if it is because the merchant family naturally comes into contact with more people and more new things.
The ability of these candidates to accept new things is obviously stronger than others, and they do have outstanding achievements and hobbies in some aspects.
There are more than 30,000 candidates. According to the final statistics, after training, the number of useful talents will probably account for at least close to 80%.
For children from ordinary people's families, this ratio is less than 10%, which means that out of more than 4,000 candidates from ordinary people's families, only about 400 are worthy of training.
The rest are ordinary people.
This number was far more cruel than imagined. Li Ke could suddenly understand why so many parents in later generations were willing to send their children to various training classes.
Unless there is a particularly outstanding IQ talent, otherwise, aside from the character itself, those trained by elite education are indeed better than ordinary people in all aspects.
Even everyone’s IQ and other things are actually the same.
"Your Highness, is this number based on the actual proportion of admissions?" The person who came to report was Kong Yingda from the Ministry of Education.
There is not much information about Kong Yingda left in history, but as a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda should have been more inclined to Confucianism.
But no matter what the reason is, Kong Yingda, who currently serves as the Minister of Education, does not have much resistance to new schools, and many things are carried out in accordance with Li Ke's requirements.
"Others will issue admission notices according to the actual proportion, but for ordinary people, the actual admission proportion should be increased to 70%." Li Ke thought for a while and then gave an answer.
"However, this 70% must be carefully selected. From every village and town where candidates take part, one person must be selected."
"It cannot happen that all the candidates in the entire village fail. If there is only one person, then he will pass directly." Li Ke pondered for a while and said seriously.
"The actual ratio does not need to be so strict, it can be more flexible. It is necessary to ensure that the children of ordinary people who have been discussed are unsuccessful, but there must also be admitted nearby the children who are unsuccessful."
Li Ke had said it so straightforwardly, of course Kong Yingda heard it clearly, and he also understood what Li Ke wanted to do.
