The expressions of Fang Xuanling and the three of them are somewhat strange, because they have been through the imperial examination system many times during the Zhenguan year alone. Of course they know that these selected scholars from well-known families have not actually integrated into the officialdom. Not that fast.
It can even be said that their speed of getting started is far worse than the people selected by His Highness. Without three to five years, their abilities cannot be evaluated at all, and it is difficult to find out what they are good at.
The current official system of the Tang Dynasty is basically like this. Although His Majesty will grant them official titles after the introduction of the imperial examination system, most of them are casual officials, that is, they have no specific positions, only grades, and they are assigned to various departments in various departments. If you need work, work wherever there is a gap.
It's like what His Highness called an internship.
After their abilities are confirmed during the internship process, His Majesty will give them the opportunity to either be sent abroad or continue to work as officials in a certain department.
It is difficult to hold important official positions without more than ten years. Of course, there are particularly outstanding people who can hold important official positions at a very young age.
And if these people don't compare, then naturally no one will think there is any problem. This has been the case in all dynasties.
But now, if it happens again, there will inevitably be a strong contrast between the two sides, and who can participate in the imperial examination system? They are all the legitimate sons of various noble families, the absolute legitimate offspring, that is to say the absolute core, trained since childhood.
What will be the result if after these people are selected, their work ability is not as good as those taught in ordinary schools like His Highness?
It is estimated that both parties will be shocked by then. One thinks that the elites of these powerful families are nothing more than this, and the other thinks, is there something wrong with me? So I am such a rubbish?
But all three of them knew why these people selected by His Highness were so capable at work? Is that because of what His Highness teaches in school? The focus is on practicality, and the tasks assigned to them are all individually screened and are what they are good at on a daily basis.
Of course they got started quickly.
When the aristocratic families train talents, they train them in the direction of all-round talents, and they are not outstanding in a certain direction.
Who do you think is awesome? This is a matter of benevolence and wisdom, but in the short term, the elites of these powerful families will definitely not be able to compare with His Highness and his group.
More importantly, the attitudes of both parties towards their positions are completely different, so how can they be compared?
In the army, the morale of both sides is not at the same level. This thing, morale is too important.
How much a person has achieved, his attitude accounts for most of the factors. Now His Highness's group of people are almost like chicken blood, howling, it can be said that they are the earliest to come every day and the last to go back. In the evening, he regarded the Yamen as his own home.
All work is meticulous, serious and responsible, and if you catch someone who doesn't know how to do it, ask them. All their superiors, colleagues, etc. are the ones they ask for advice.
How do you compare?
These people can say that they are the only chance to change their lives, but what about the legitimate sons of a wealthy family? Even if the job is not very good, the worst case scenario is that he can go back and inherit a family fortune worth hundreds of millions.
Can both parties work equally hard?
I am afraid that after these people came to Chang'an, the most visited place was the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty, not the Yamen.
After this, when the two sides compare, what do you think the current heads of these powerful families will think? Isn't this disgusting?
In the future, His Highness will do a little more publicity. Isn't this the imperial examination, the selection system, and the elite that you, the so-called nobles, and the so-called gentry have been promoting?
So—that’s it?
By then, I am afraid that people from these wealthy families will have the desire to die. This blow will be to their face that they have persisted for so many years. This is to lift their old faces, throw them directly to the ground, and then step on them a few times.
"Oh, you guys are talking, will this work? No, this must work. Now the Tang Dynasty is in a period of rapid development. The country and the court are hungry for talents like never before, so we have to select more outstanding talents. "
"There is currently a shortage of outstanding talents in the Tang Dynasty, so each family must send outstanding descendants of their own clan to participate in this selection system. We must not slack off. Everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the country." Li Ke said seriously.
"Well, Your Highness, it's not necessary." Wei Zheng asked with a bitter smile, why didn't you do this on purpose?
"Zheng Guogong, what are you talking about? Let me ask you, was it wrong for me to select talents for the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke asked.
Wei Zheng: "...No."
"Since I am right, I conducted an examination for most of the people and recruited many officials. Now I conduct an imperial examination to recruit talents from famous families. Is it fair and just? Is it wrong?" Li Ke asked.
"No..." Wei Zhengren was numb. How should I answer your question?
"Then again, I am also doing this for the sake of social stability and national stability in the Tang Dynasty. I want to give these powerful families a chance. They should work harder to take the exam and prove that they are strong! They are elites! Only in this way can society be eliminated. There is prejudice against them. Is it wrong?" Li Ke continued.
"No..." Wei Zhengren was dumbfounded, so the question is, Your Highness, who is responsible for the prejudice against them in society?
"Are you trying to say that I guided society's prejudice against them?" Li Ke glanced at Wei Zheng and continued.
Wei Zheng: "..."
"I tell you, you are absolutely wrong. The prejudice against them in society has existed since ancient times. This is a contradiction between two different classes, the ruling class and the ruled class, and the contradiction between the aristocracy and the common people. The contradiction. This was not caused by me, but has always been there. Did I say something wrong?" Li Ke said lightly.
"..." Wei Zheng couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin glared at him: What are you looking at me for?
Wei Zheng felt a little aggrieved: Your Majesty, look! Look, this is the reason why I don’t slander His Highness King Qin. Look... how can I slander him?
Li Shimin: "..."
Why are you winking at me? You're crazy. It's none of my business. Oh no, I was the one who made the final decision.
"Well, it sounds like it is indeed good for the country. My dear friends, what do you think?" Li Shimin coughed dryly.
Wei Zheng: "..."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
What love? Where is Aiqing? Love is gone a long time ago, Your Majesty, you have changed a long time ago.
"Um... I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run?" Changsun Wuji helplessly followed up and expressed his position.
