The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158 The Imperial Examination System
For example, after the imperial examinations became popular, the township examinations will also be conducted!The general examination, after a series of selections, finally entered the Beijing examination, and after the highest honor palace examination, the top three were selected, namely the number one scholar, the second place, and the third prize.

At this time, Liu Bian's government was extremely short of officials, and Liu Bian didn't have time to screen them layer by layer. After the number of applicants from various places around Luoyang reached a saturation state, he ordered talents from all over the place to rush to Luoyang to take the exam.

However, the imperial examination is a policy for the country to select talents, but it has to be cautious, so Liu Bian discussed with his subordinates and decided on the basic system of the imperial examination in the future.

First of all, the imperial examination is held every three years, and of course this refers to the one in the capital.For the rest of the states and counties, it is once a year.

The talents recommended by various places are collectively called the title of "recommended students". The recommended students can participate in the county examination held in the county every year.Select the top 50 and award the title of "Ju Ren".Juren are eligible to participate in the county examination held by the county, and only 100 of them will be admitted and awarded the title of "Maocai".Maocai, on the other hand, is eligible to participate in the state examination held by the state, and [-] people will be admitted and awarded the title of "Jinshi".

After layers of selection, in each state, only 100 people have the opportunity to participate in the national examination held in the capital.

The National Examination only admits 100 people, called "National Scholars". National Scholars are eligible to participate in the Palace Examination, which is assessed by Liu Bian himself. The top three are selected and awarded the titles of "No.

And only these 100 people are eligible to be appointed as officials.

As for the remaining people who were not accepted, Liu Bian also considered that they were elites from various places, so he specially established the Hanlin Academy!

Those who were not admitted in the national examination would go to the Hanlin Academy for further study, taught by Lu Zhi, Ding Guan, Cai Yong and other great Confucians in person. After three years, they would be eligible to serve as local officials.

As for the content of the exam, after discussing with the officials, Liu Bian decided to divide it into several subjects such as Mo Yi, Tie Jing, Policy Questions, Poetry and Fu, and Ming Calculation.

Among them, Mo Yi and Tie Jing Ming Suan are the basic skills to test talents, focusing on basic questions and answers dictation and other topics raised by Jing Yi, and Ming Suan is equivalent to the mathematics you want to be in.However, since Liu Bian created Hanshu, subjects such as arithmetic have become very simple.

These subjects are a test of basic skills.

The policy question is to test his true talents and knowledge, and it is a topic of discussion, and he puts forward his own opinions on the current form, law, education, etc.

At first Lu Zhi and others thought that these subjects were enough, but Liu Bian didn't think so, thinking that subjects such as Mo Yi Tie Jing were nothing more than rote memorization, and even cheating was possible.

Liu Bian deliberately added a subject of Poetry and Fu. Poetry and Fu is his own creation, which is an extreme test of real talent and learning, and cheating is not acceptable. If other subjects are excellent, Poetry and Fu is a mess. You can also see the reference whether the person cheated.

The scholars of later generations have many powers, and can receive state subsidies and even tax reductions.This policy is extremely harmful. With a wave of his hand, Liu Bian decided that any title has no special rights, it is only an honorary title.So what is the number one scholar is just the highest honorary title, without any special powers or substantial benefits.

Why do scholars of later generations tirelessly take part in the imperial examinations? Isn't it just for power, who doesn't want to be tax-free?As a result, many people in history have wasted their time, from youth to old age, spent in exams.Liu Bian naturally did not want this situation to arise.

This move can be said to be a great blow to the enthusiasm of some people to participate in the imperial examination.But despite this, scholars all over the world are still proud to be Juren, Maocai, Jinshi and Guoshi.

On this day, in the Luoyang Palace, in Liu Bian's study, before Liu Bianpan sat in the case, there were a large number of files on the case.It is the list of counties and counties participating in the imperial examination.

In front of the table, stood Xun Yu.

"There are so many people participating in the imperial examination, more than 1000?" Liu Bian's eyes were full of surprise.

"There are so many scholars in the world. Although the books are in the hands of the aristocratic family, there are also many children from poor families! But among the 1000 people, there are probably not a few who fish in troubled waters!" Xun Yu shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Fishing in troubled waters? It's okay. Those who can be recommended by the common people have some skills. Those skills come from the shadows, and they are also a kind of ability, not to mention there are exams to test their real talents."

"Even if some people obtain the qualifications of the imperial examination by improper means, after the national examination in the future, the real Jinyiwei will investigate their details clearly. It is impossible to fish in troubled waters!" Liu Bian shook his head and chuckled.

Regarding the imperial examinations, Liu Bian also defended them. Of course, one must be cautious when dealing with officials. Of course, there are people who fish in troubled waters. If you have the ability and ability to become a national scholar, and if you have the opportunity to become an official in the future, Liu Bian will naturally send Jin Yiwei to investigate your details. When the time comes, it will be clear whether you are virtuous or greedy.

And if you don't have the ability to become a national scholar, even if you put in the effort to qualify for the imperial examination, you will only get an honorary title in the end, which will have no effect.

It will not affect the overall situation at all!

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xun Yu arched his hands and smiled.

"These scholars are very smart. If they are given power, won't they become powerful families in the future? Have to guard against it?" Liu Bian sighed.

"But why did His Majesty give the family a chance, allow the family to participate in the imperial examination, and even give the chance to be recommended by officials!" Xun Yu asked puzzled.

"Wen Ruo, you also come from a famous family, have you ever made me hate you? I hate you so much that you are just a powerful family who exploits the people, but there are always talented people in the world, and there are always wise people in the family. These people will understand me! So I will give them a chance!" Liu Bian said with a smile.

The imperial examinations set by Liu Bian are naturally not only for the common people, only those who recommend them have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examinations, and the children of aristocratic families naturally also have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examinations.

The aristocratic family can never be eliminated, Liu Bian can only try his best to ensure the normal operation of the system and the integrity of the officials under his command.

Liu Bian shook his head and smiled, looked through the file, searched for a while, and sure enough, he saw Yu Yunwen's name.

"Good guy, this Yu Yunwen was recommended by three hundred households, which shows that he has good morals!" Liu Bian pretended to be surprised.

"This Yu Yunwen has already entered Luoyang, and I have seen it before. He really behaves decently and speaks well. He is a talent!" Xun Yu nodded and said.

At this time, the imperial examination was about to start, and talents from counties and counties around Luoyang flocked in. As one of the examiners, Xun Yu had naturally seen these talents. It must be Yu Yunwen's extraordinaryness that Xun Yu remembered.

Liu Bian nodded. With Yu Yunwen's talent, it's no problem to win the top spot, but Liu Bian is not in a hurry.

"By the way, Wen Ruo, you said that you had a few classmates and friends back then, but you came to Luoyang!" Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu and asked.

"Your Majesty, only one person came to Luoyang, but he heard that His Majesty held the imperial examination, so he was itchy, and wanted to compete with Luoyang talents, so he insisted on going to the minister's recommendation!" Xun Yu said with a wry smile.

"Oh? This is really interesting, isn't it Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao?" Liu Bian said with his eyes brightened.

"Has Your Majesty heard of Fengxiao?"

"Oh, I heard from Gongda!" Liu Bian said vaguely.

"So, Guo Fengxiao is going to take the imperial examination?" Liu Bian smiled.

"Yes!" Xun Yu nodded.

"That's good too. Taking part in the imperial examination can test his true talents and learning. Let him compete with other students. I will also see what is so extraordinary about the person Wen Ruo recommends!" Liu Bian said seriously.

"In this imperial examination, Guo Fengxiao, a genius, and Yu Yunwen, a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, don't know what kind of sparks will be created!" Liu Bian thought to himself.
