When he just heard the word "imperial examination", Man Chong had confusion in his eyes.
But he quickly made a rough guess about these two words based on his knowledge.
"Ke" means examination and examination. As for "ju", it is easy to think of the current popular examination and examination system.
Even the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is essentially an innovation in the inspection system.
After breaking down the meanings of the two words in his mind, Man Chong couldn't help but come up with an idea:
"Does the general want to establish a system for selecting scholars that involves examinations and promotions in parallel?"
The speculation coming out of Man Chong's mouth made the smile on Mi Yang's face grow wider.
Discussing the official selection system with Man Chong, a famous person all over the world, you can get many unexpected resonances.
If we talk about the imperial examination system, the first reaction in the minds of many future generations may be that it is a talent selection system that began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
But this is not the case.
The biggest feature of the imperial examination system is that through formal examinations held by the state, talents at all levels needed by the country are selected.
And with the development of the times, the imperial examination system gradually became the most important way for the imperial courts to select talents after the Tang Dynasty.
But this is the world's view of the imperial examination system after the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, during the Han Dynasty, the word "imperial examination" was no stranger to the world.
After all, the meaning of the word is there, and many people can easily come to the same understanding as Man Chong based on the meaning of the word imperial examination.
As for the people of the world, needless to say, the inspection and examination system has been the main system for selecting talents for four hundred years in the Han Dynasty, and everyone in the world is very familiar with it.
As for selecting talents through examinations, it is not unusual for people in the world.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many high-ranking officials had the habit of taking the clergy exam.
Does the phrase "what can you teach me" really mean that the superior does not know anything and must have scholars as his teachers to teach him?
These four words are nothing more than a kind of interview conducted by superiors to scholars.
In today's world, not only those in high positions would inspect scholars, but even scholars would consider inspecting those in high positions before joining the official ranks.
"The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king" is the best embodiment of this social phenomenon.
From the above situation, we can see that in the Han Dynasty, the selection of talents through examinations was in line with the universal concepts of the people at that time.
Therefore, when Man Chong, the representative of a wealthy family, heard the word "imperial examination", he was neither confused nor furious. He felt that Mi Yang was going to swing a hoe and start digging up the roots of the family.
On the contrary, Man Chong's face showed a look of expectation.
He wanted to know if the word "imperial examination" that Mi Yang mentioned was what he guessed.
What kind of benefits can it bring to the world's wealthy families?
Facing Man Chong's expectant look, Mi Yang nodded decisively and said, "It's exactly what Man Chong said."
Seeing that Mi Yang's answer proved his suspicion, the look of anticipation on Man Chong's face became even stronger.
Man Chong came from a high family, and the reason why he proposed Mi Yang to implement the nine-level Zhongzheng system in the Han Dynasty does not mean that he really had to implement the nine-level Zhongzheng system.
To Man Chong, as long as it is an official selection system that can bring benefits to aristocratic families, it doesn't matter at all whether this system is a ninth-grade Zhongzheng system.
And if the imperial examination system that Mi Yang mentioned is really an official selection system in which examinations and examinations are carried out in parallel, then this kind of official selection system would certainly be profitable for the aristocratic families of the day.
For example, the inspection system.
The predecessor of the Chaju system is the township recommendation system in the Spring and Autumn Period. With this core, the Chaju system, no matter how innovative it is, cannot harm the interests of aristocratic families with huge influence in the local area.
This is also the fundamental reason why as the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System develops later, it will turn into a deformed form of "there are no humble scholars in the upper ranks, and there are no high-ranking disciples in the lower ranks".
As long as Mi Yang does not abolish the imperial examination system, no matter what kind of official selection system he proposes, it will indirectly protect the interests of the world's aristocratic families.
If you are so favored, why worry about getting angry?
After knowing that his own interests would not be infringed, Man Chong began to think about the impact of the "imperial examination system" on the world's aristocratic families.
Examinations have been used to select talents since ancient times.
Most of the examples of examinations to select talents are private duels between superiors and scholars.
Moreover, this kind of duel mainly depends on the mood of the person in charge - it is not stable, and it is not an official talent selection system.
And since Mi Yang connected the two words science and system in front of him, it means that he intends to reverse this phenomenon.
Mi Yang wants to establish laws at the national level so that the method of selecting talents through examinations can officially become a national official selection system.
Because of this, Mi Yang said that "examination and inspection go hand in hand."
Regarding Mi Yang's idea, Man Chong was quickly thinking about the pros and cons in his mind.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Man Chong's face, Mi Yang began to speak at the right time to encourage Man Chong:
"If you want to leave a name in history, you must be kind to the world's scholars.
In the past, although there were often quarrels between meat-eaters and scholars, they often broke up on bad terms. Why?
It is nothing more than the words of scholars, which often offend carnivores and make them unhappy.
Even the sages are not immune to this.
Whenever I see these examples in the past, I often sigh with regret at the plight of the forefathers.
I sigh at their lack of recognition of talents, and even more sigh at the ignorance of meat-eaters.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse always exists, but a small horse does not always exist. Isn't this the greatest sorrow for you and me as scholars?"
Speaking of this, Mi Yang really let out a few crocodile-like sighs.
It's just that the weather has been too dry recently, otherwise Mi Yang wouldn't mind shedding a few more crocodile tears.
Alas, after traveling through time for a long time, my acting skills have greatly deteriorated.
However, even though Mi Yang's acting skills were not as good as before, because his words expressed the greatest sorrow in the hearts of scholars at that time, he succeeded in arousing the resonance of Man Chong.
Mi Yang is a child of an aristocratic family, and Man Chong is also a child of an aristocratic family. Their "classes" are the same, so can they not resonate with each other?
After listening to Mi Yang's words, she poured herself a glass of wine with a sad face and drank it directly.
Students from poor families often envy the children of aristocratic families for their high starting point, but as Mi Yang said, not everything goes well for the children of aristocratic families in this world.
For example, no matter how talented a child of an aristocratic family is, if he offends the ruler, don't talk about him, for fear that his family will be implicated.
I won’t mention remote examples.
Man Chong had experienced the two calamities of party imprisonment that happened just a few decades ago and made countless children of aristocratic families cry for father and mother.
But what can the children of the aristocratic family do about this?
No matter how talented you are, if you don't get the attention of the ruler, you can only remain unknown for the rest of your life, and you may even fall into a homeless situation.
Didn't Confucius prove this with his experience of traveling around seventy-two countries?
Seeing that Man Chong had been successfully aroused by him, Mi Yang took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Man Chong and continued to seduce him:
"In order to prevent young people like you and me from having to deal with the pain of being rejected, I want to set up a system to select scholars through examinations.
As long as this system is implemented, can't Manjun see the benefits it will bring to students all over the world?"
When Mi Yang said this, Man Chong's expression became more expectant.
How could he not see it?
In the past, the promotion of children of aristocratic families through examinations was mostly the king's personal behavior. This method was greatly affected by the king's personal preferences and was simply unfair to the children of aristocratic families.
It's okay if the emperor is satisfied with the memorial. If he is not satisfied, he may be pulled out and executed, let alone whether he can become an official.
In Man Chong's view, this is undoubtedly a kind of harm to the children of the aristocratic family.
But once the conduct of selecting students through examinations is institutionalized and made public, the situation will be completely different.
Because at that moment, the children of all the aristocratic families in the world will definitely gather together to actively participate in such a selection.
When there are too many people, no matter which emperor it is, it will be impossible for him to personally preside over such matters.
It is very likely that the emperor will ask one of the nine ministers, or set up a special official office, to preside over such important events.
After all, since there is an exam, there must be test papers. Test papers for thousands or even tens of thousands of people require a large and rigorous organization to review and correct them.
This ensured that the children of aristocratic families in the world would not lose the opportunity to become an official because of the emperor's personal likes and dislikes.
From this point of view alone, Man Chong is very excited.
The most important thing is that students are selected to serve as officials through examinations. This is a system that is more beneficial to the children of aristocratic families than the imperial examination system.
Because the imperial examination system is unfair to children from poor families, but it is also unfair to many children from aristocratic families.
After all, there are only a few places available each year, and there are so many children from aristocratic families that they don’t have enough places.
Once students pass the exam and are selected to serve as officials:
For children from aristocratic families who have been proficient in the meaning of scriptures since childhood, will they be afraid of any written questions and answers on scriptures?
For children from aristocratic families who have followed the experience of their elders since childhood, will they be afraid of any written policy?
Nature is not afraid.
On the contrary, they are definitely eager to give it a try.
After thinking about this, Man Chong now thinks about the benefits of the imperial examination system to the children of aristocratic families, and this benefit is greater than the so-called nine-rank Zhongzheng system.
How could Man Chong not wholeheartedly support such an imperial examination system?
The white-haired Man Chong stood up excitedly and bowed to Mi Yang three times in a row.
Man Chong was so excited that his speech began to become difficult.
"Favor, favor on behalf of all the students in the world, I would like to thank the general in advance."
This gesture of Man Chong undoubtedly proved that he was successfully moved by Mi Yang's proposal of the imperial examination system and was willing to do his best to help Mi Yang complete this feat.
Looking at Man Chong, who is seventy and eighty years old, looking extremely excited, Mi Yang didn't know what to say.
Doesn't he know that movable type printing and the name anonymity system are advanced products that can change the world?
Oh, he really doesn't know.
That's not surprising.
Having achieved his goal, Mi Yang temporarily stopped complaining about Man Chong. He stood up "excitedly" and held Man Chong's hand, and then said to him:
"When I was alone, I originally just wanted heaven and earth to know.
But it is really too difficult for one person to work for the welfare of students all over the world.
Gu only hopes that Manjun can stand side by side with Gu and let the world enter a new era together!
If this can be accomplished, in the history books a hundred years from now, Manjun and Gu will be passed down together!"
Man Chong didn't know that Mi Yang had once said the same thing to someone.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Man Chong, who was already so excited, had an intracranial orgasm.
Man Chong is now thinking about how he will be evaluated in history books in the future.
I dare not say that he is comparable to the saints, but at least he is as famous as Dong Zhongshu.
Thinking of this, Man Chong's face became even redder.
From today on, anyone who blocks the implementation of the imperial examination system will be his life-or-death enemy.
"General, please rest assured. As long as the general does not despise my old age, I will definitely follow the general in the future and work hard for the great cause of the general!"
In Man Chong's view, Mi Yang's intention to implement the imperial examination system was not what he said on the surface, but simply for the benefit of students all over the world.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the imperial examination system can be successfully promoted, Mi Yang, as the founder and defender of the imperial examination system, will probably gain the help of most scholars in the world.
With military power in hand, he is also scheming the hearts and minds of the world. Isn’t it obvious what the general’s plan is?
This is normal.
There is no one in the world who truly cares for the world.
Man Chong, who felt that he had found Master Ming again, calmed down and bowed to Mi Yang:
"Although the imperial examination system is an unprecedented move, people's hearts have always been treacherous. It is not appropriate to delay this matter urgently.
I also hope that the General will not be impatient and that the Chong Council will plan this matter carefully as soon as possible and wait for a preliminary charter to be submitted to the General for review.
Chong will also connect with familiar families and let them support the general's feat."
Man Chong's advice was exactly what Mi Yang wanted.
He was also worried that Man Chong was too impatient.
Mi Yang said to Man Chong: "What Man Jun said is true. Guhui will be waiting for Man Jun's good news."
After saying this, Mi Yang asked Man Chong to have a good rest and he would come back to look for Man Chong when he had time.
Under Man Chong's reluctant gaze, Mi Yang walked out of the tent.
As soon as Mi Yang walked out of the big tent, he saw Jiang Wei who had been waiting outside the tent.
After seeing Mi Yang come out, Jiang Wei quickly saluted Mi Yang.
After paying homage to Mi Yang, the attentive Jiang Wei noticed that after Mi Yang came out of the tent, he had a look of joy on his face that he could not hide.
This made Jiang Wei feel a little strange.
In Jiang Wei's view, Mi Yang was probably here to persuade Man Chong to surrender.
But even if Man Chong is successfully persuaded to surrender, is Man Chong's surrender worth Mi Yang's happiness?
Of course Jiang Wei couldn't hide his curious expression from Mi Yang.
But Mi Yang didn't explain anything.
How did his Youlin know that when he entered Manchong's tent today, he was discussing a major event that would be of great benefit to the future and could change the world.
This important matter has made preliminary progress. How can Mi Yang not feel very happy?
Mi Yang asked Jiang Wei to lead the way, and he followed Jiang Wei briskly, continuing to think about some important regulations of the imperial examination system.
Mi Yang knew that Man Chong was so excited because, in his view, the imperial examination system was a system that greatly benefited wealthy families.
Judging from the current world situation, what Man Chong thought was not wrong.
Unfortunately, what Man Chong didn't know was that since Mi Yang dared to propose the imperial examination system at this time, it meant that he had the confidence to control the development of the imperial examination system according to his vision.
The reason why the previous Mi Yang did not recommend Liu Bei to implement the imperial examination system was because the previous Han Dynasty and the previous Mi Yang were not completely sure that they could control the direction of the imperial examination system.
If you are not sure of the control at the moment, then you would rather not bring it up yet.
What Mi Yang said to Man Chong in the tent just now was also a deliberate attempt to deepen Man Chong's expectations for the imperial examination system.
He wanted to make Man Chong think that the imperial examination system was simply a system that benefited wealthy families.
Only in this way can Mi Yang use Man Chong as a breakthrough to make the world's wealthy families gradually accept the existence of the imperial examination system.
All beginnings are hard.
If you want reform to be successful, you definitely don’t have to push the world by yourself. That would be very tiring, and the risk of failure is too high.
The best way would be to let the world, driven by interests, take the initiative to push Mi Yang to implement reforms.
Just like the equal land system in Liangzhou.
Is the imperial examination system a system that is beneficial to wealthy families?
In the short term, of course, yes.
But what if movable type printing becomes popular?
We have used our supreme military power for decades to protect the imperial examination system. In the future, there will be times when wealthy families will cry! If you like Mi Han, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han Search Novel Network updates at the fastest speed on the entire network
