Chapter 1023: Opening a subject to obtain scholars
In summer, you can only feel some coolness in the early morning. Early in the morning, thousands of scholars were waiting outside various examination rooms in advance, waiting for the imperial examination to start later.
As for the martial arts competition, a large number of warriors rushed into the military camp. The martial arts component of the martial arts competition started at the same time as the civil competition competition. The military component of the military competition competition was conducted after the civil competition examination.
After all, many people have applied for two out of the three examinations of civil examination, art of war, and martial arts. For example, Zhuge Liang has applied for two examinations of civil examination and military examination of art of war at the same time, while Su Baotong has applied for two items of military examination at the same time.
Everyone has signed up, so Li Xiang has to divide his time between them.
As long as you have talent, Li Xiang doesn't mind setting up a stage for you to fully demonstrate your talents.
"All the heroes in the world are here!" Li Xiang said proudly on a high-rise building near the imperial examination room as he looked at the sea of people.
At this time, Li Xiang seemed to understand Tang Taizong's pride when he said these words.
On the street, Dian Wei led three hundred tiger guards to protect a carriage. On top of the carriage were the questions for this imperial examination.
Now that he has decided to implement the imperial examination, Li Xiang must try his best to maintain its fairness. If it loses fairness, then the imperial examination will lose its original meaning.
Therefore, from examination questions to post-exam reviews, Li Xiang has developed a series of means to ensure his fairness.
For example, this examination question was guarded by Tiger Guards from the day it was formulated until it was transported to various scientific examination examination rooms. The person who set the examination question was temporarily not allowed to meet with outsiders for the past few days until the imperial examination.
Until the official start.
Another example is the implementation of a name-blinding system, where all personal information such as the candidate's name, place of origin, etc. at the beginning of the examination paper must be sealed or cut to prevent the marking officer from cheating for personal gain.
At the same time, the candidate's final score is not determined by one marking officer, but the final decision is made based on the opinions of all five marking officers.
As for the specific content of the examination questions, everything including the scriptures and biographies of sages, the hundreds of schools of thought, the general trend of the world, and political strategies will be examined.
It’s not just about scientific examinations. When Mingde Academy was founded, Li Xiang did not stick to the teachings of a certain school, but absorbed as many as possible from all the schools of thought.
Li Xiang naturally knows that controlling thoughts can be more conducive to safeguarding the interests of the ruling class and the rule of the royal family, but Li Xiang doesn't care about this!
If Li Xiang can really achieve the eternal emperor's legacy, he doesn't care whether his descendants can keep the family legacy. When he closes his eyes and dies, the flood behind him will no longer matter!
If he can create a world for his descendants, does he need to help them worry about how to protect the emperor?
If a future generation still dreams of the dream of being an emperor for thousands of generations like the First Emperor Yingzheng, then he is really a madman and an idiot. The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it must unite, and if it unites for a long time, it must divide. How can there really be a dynasty that can last for thousands of generations?
What's more, in Li Xiang's view, controlling the thoughts of the people in the world, or even implementing a policy of obscuring the people, is the same as the isolation of the country in later generations. Stabilizing the rule for a while, but causing disasters for generations to come! Li Xiang disdains such behavior.
Do it!
Even though, with his power expanding day by day, Li Xiang has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, but he still has some persistence in his heart!
"Lord, is this imperial examination method really going to be established as the official selection system in the future?" Guo Jia said with a somewhat excited face, and there was a faint smell of alcohol coming from his body.
This libertine might have spent the night in a brothel again last night.
In the blink of an eye, it has been several years since Guo Jia came to work under Li Xiang, and the youthfulness of the two of them has unconsciously faded away as they grew up.
Guo Jia, who has matured, has finally shown the style that a top counselor should have. At least, this kid also made a lot of contributions when he was at Hulao Pass, helping Wei Qing to crack down on many Cao Cao, Xun You, Cui
The calculations of Hao and others.
The only pity is that this guy's health is a big problem. Sun Simiao, An Daoquan and others have already looked at him one after another. The root of this kid's disease has been from his mother's womb. In addition, he has not been nursed back to health in time the day after tomorrow. With this
The medical methods of the era do not offer a radical cure, and can only be suppressed with drugs.
Even if they are miraculous doctors like Sun Simiao, they are only humans, not gods. They cannot solve all difficult and complicated diseases. Even in the modern era, let alone the Three Kingdoms period, it is not possible to cure all diseases.
It can be cured!
It's a pity that this guy is a libertine, and he drinks and women. Even Li Xiang can't control him. This also makes his condition keep recurring, and the effect of suppressing it with drugs is very limited.
There is also Xi Zhicai, his situation is similar to Guo Jia. However, Xi Zhicai's self-control is much stronger than Guo Jia. Compared with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai just loves drinking, and he only drinks wine every once in a while.
Drinking just a little bit of it was very suitable for Sun Simiao's treatment.
"Naturally, since we have already started, how can we give up halfway? The way to get a scholar is to learn and excel and then become an official." Li Xiang looked down at the scholars who started to take the exam one by one, and couldn't help but said firmly.
There is no absolutely perfect system in this world, and the same goes for the imperial examination system, which also has its drawbacks. But at least for now, it is progressive and can bring benefits to this society.
Hearing this, Guo Jia rarely became serious. If the imperial examination system is implemented for a long time, poor families will definitely be the beneficiaries.
Although far inferior to the aristocratic families, there are also many talented people among the poor families. After all, in the final analysis, the poor families are not ordinary people, but those aristocratic families whose family status is relatively low or has simply begun to decline.
However, many scholars from poor families were not recognized for their talents when they were young. They were full of talents but had no chance to show what they had learned. Now the imperial examination system introduced by Li Xiang is to give children from poor families all over the world a chance to stand out and compete with the children of rich and powerful families in talent and learning.
.
"Let's go and have a look at the martial arts competition. It's much more exciting there today!" Li Xiang stood up and said with a smile.
The martial arts examination is indeed much more exciting than the civil examination. Instead of watching these scholars write furiously here, it would be better to go to the martial arts competition to see the fighting between dragons and tigers.
On the liberal arts side, Li Xiang specially opened a summons, and naturally there will be many talented people. But on the martial arts side, there are also many strong ones. As far as Li Xiang knows, this time, the boys from Yue Fei and Su Lie's family did not
idle.
Moreover, in order to give this martial arts competition a little fanfare, Li Xiang also sent away the golden platform in his residence.
