——————

In February of the 11th year of Xuanping, it was another annual exam. If it was a few years earlier, this time of year would always be very lively in Jinling City, because scholars from all over the country would take the exam.

However, since the Datang Empire reformed the general examination and implemented the system of separate examinations for each province, fewer scholars went to Jinling City to take the general examination.

At present, basically only scholars who are very confident in themselves will travel thousands of miles to Jinling City to participate in the national examination, but the confidence is not too strong, or the scholars who cannot go to Jinling due to other factors, Often choose to take part in the provincial examinations in their own.

This can also be said to greatly reduce the difficulty for ordinary scholars to participate in the examination. After all, the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was different from that of the traditional dynasties. It was held every year, which also caused scholars to live in Jinling all year round. It is obviously a huge burden to participate in the meeting in the city, or to travel between the hometown and Jinling City frequently, and it costs a lot of money, time and energy.

Now it is possible to participate in the general examination in the provincial capital of each province, which is also a great advantage for the vast majority of scholars.

Of course, some scholars who are confident in themselves, or who originally studied in Jinling City, will still choose to participate in the examination in Jinling City.

The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty did not strictly stipulate what kind of scholars could take part in the capital examinations, and what kind of scholars could only take part in the provincial capital examinations. Instead, they chose a non-interference attitude, and scholars could freely choose to take part in their own provinces. Will try or come to Jinling City to participate in the test.

Of course, although the difficulty of the exam questions of the two is equal, the competition is different. The scholars who participated in the exam in Jinling City are all the ones who are very confident in themselves. With the implementation of the system, the empire has correspondingly reduced the number of people admitted to the Jinling City Examination.

A few years ago, the total number of students admitted to the Jinling City Examination for Jinshi and Ph.D. could reach 1,000, but now in the eleventh year of Xuanping, the number of students scheduled to be admitted has dropped to 500, a direct drop. half.

However, nationwide, it is expected that the number of students enrolled in the two sciences will once again create a new peak. The provincial test centers and the Jinling City test center together are expected to admit 5,000 people.

Most of these new scholars and doctors will enter the grassroots positions, thus gradually changing the reason why the quality of low-level officials is not high in the current officialdom of the Tang Empire.

Over time, Li Xuan intends to further expand the number of admissions, because in the future, except for those who need special skills such as the judiciary and patrol police, except for those who have no grade, they are just ordinary hired staff, such as grooms, chefs, etc. Other imperial officials with grades must be Selected after passing the imperial examinations.

Finally, a personnel system combining imperial officials and ordinary employees was formed.

In fact, Li Xuan originally planned to become all public servants, all of whom need to be selected through imperial examinations, but found this to be unrealistic, because it is obviously impossible for people to accept being a student of Guozijian University. Groom's, and this is also a great waste of talent.

Therefore, Li Xuan implemented the current mode of combining officials and employees.

Naturally, this policy was not made by Li Xuan, but was based on the civil service system of later generations. In many media reports in later generations, why the word temporary workers frequently appears in the public service organizations There are many temporary workers who work for government agencies in the name of contract workers, dispatch workers, etc.

Li Xuan felt that this public service system in later generations was quite good, and it could effectively control salary expenditures, and if it got out of the box, it could directly fire people to quell the anger of the people.

In fact, this system has been played like this for thousands of years in China. In the past, it was divided into officials and officials, and later generations were divided into staff and temporary workers. When it came to the Tang Empire, it was divided into officials and employees.

Although the details of the operation are different, it is essentially an egg use, and there is not much change.

Otherwise, what should I say? In fact, the political system of China has not changed for thousands of years. The family world, the imperial examination system, the official system, etc., it was the same thousands of years ago, and it is the same now.

In the Tang Dynasty, the same is no exception.

Li Xuan is not a saint, and he is even more reluctant to take insignificant risks. Since these things have been proven to be practical for thousands of years, Li Xuan is naturally incapable of abandoning them, and then he will start a new set of messy things. In that case, who knows if there will be any big trouble.

Taking history as a mirror, practicality is the main!

This is Li Xuan's concept of governing the country in recent years, so when many policies are implemented, most of them are in line with this concept.

The same is true for the reform of the imperial examination system. Today, in the eleventh year of Xuanping, the reform of the imperial examination system has come to an end. At most, it will be patchwork. Li Xuan does not intend to carry out large-scale changes.

Li Xuan also does not plan to make too many changes to the education system, which has a great relationship with the imperial examinations. He thinks that the education system is very good now. As for the university, he still intends to take the high-quality route and strictly control the number of college students, especially the number of liberal arts students.

In his lifetime, the popularization of secondary and higher education, that is not to be expected, it is not impossible, but Li Xuan does not allow it!

In contrast, in the field of science and technology, schools that specialize in cultivating technical talents, that is, vocational and technical colleges, can be opened more, which can also provide more technical talents for the industrialization of the empire.

But only in engineering!

As for liberal arts, especially history and Chinese majors, they must be strictly controlled.

why? Because students of this major are quite harmful, giving them official positions and letting them blend into the upper class of society is naturally hello, hello, hello everyone!

But if the upper class is so big, the place to accommodate talents is also limited. Those who can't squeeze into the upper class will definitely be dissatisfied, and they will spread their dissatisfaction, and finally incite the dissatisfaction of ordinary people as a threat to achieve their goals. The goal of entering high society.

All in all, a lot of shit!

This is also the reason why Li Xuan has always attached great importance to education in science and engineering in recent years, ignoring or even suppressing education in liberal arts!

In preparatory schools, scholarships are almost always given to students in science classes, and it is almost impossible for liberal arts students to get scholarships. When Guozijian admitted students, among major majors, Chinese, history and other majors also had the smallest number of admissions, and also the most. strict.

Why, the students who apply for this major are all rushing to become an official, and if they cannot become an official in the end, it is definitely a potential unstable factor.

If so, it is better to strictly limit the number of people from the beginning.

On the contrary, science and engineering is much better, not only officialdom needs such talents, but major enterprises also need such talents. The employment scope is wide, and these people are all science and engineering talents, so the harm to social stability is not so great.

Universal education, for a feudal dynasty or other similar totalitarian regimes, is actually a double-edged sword, and it is a double-edged sword that has a great possibility of killing the regime itself.

Therefore, in the Americas of later generations, they never engage in universal education in universities. Most of the students go to the factory to carry dishes after high school, and a small number go to community colleges. This kind of college is actually useless. Most of them still enter the factory or end up on a plate.

Only a very elite few can go on to college.

And these very few elites who have attended prestigious private schools are the backbone of American society!

Even if it is Huaxia, which will expand the enrollment of universities in later generations, it is not really popularized higher education. Ordinary people take a pheasant college, a second- or third-rate undergraduate degree, just like the community colleges of other Americans, it is useless, after a few years of study Come out, there is no essential difference between their abilities and middle school students who have not received higher education.

The real elite education is 985, and the admission ratio of this kind of school varies from province to province, but it is only a few percentage points!

This is why ordinary people can only get 3,000 a month after graduating from Yeji University~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Riding a shared bicycle, renting a house, and having no girlfriend, even after being in their 30s or 40s, they are still at the bottom of the society. Just after graduation, students from prestigious schools can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month, buy houses and cars, and get paid by beautiful girls. It takes only a few years to become the backbone of society.

Because the vast majority of ordinary people, even the so-called college students, have never received real higher education, and the vast majority of college students just went to a fake university...

Teenagers, if they want to become the middle class of society, become pseudo-scientists who defraud national scientific research funds, look at a room of moldy banknotes and sigh at the sinister officialdom, and use all kinds of games and diamonds to deceive elementary school students, and use chicken soup to confuse the bottom. The people use various courses to take out their last copper plate...

Alas, no matter what messy dreams you have, take the 985 test first!

Or give up those lofty dreams!

The word "elite" has no fate with you. Let's honestly contribute to socialism. Moving bricks is more suitable for you!

Now, Li Xuan is also planning to set up some vocational training schools, together with the original normal school, to become a fake university, so that ordinary students can satisfy the illusion of enjoying higher education.

As for the real elite students, as before, let them go to preparatory schools in various provinces, and then apply for admission to regular universities such as Guozijian, Jinling, and Jiangnan University.

As for such regular universities, there are currently only eight in the entire empire, and Li Xuan is not planning to add too many in a short period of time. By then, there will be at most ten or so.

Li Xuan wants to set up a technical school, and the officials below are naturally catering to his wishes. The meeting has just ended, and the Ministry of Rites has submitted a development plan for the preparation of technical schools!

This plan is not a small one. One mouth is to establish a hundred technical schools and lay a century-old plan!
