Chapter 876 People who took the Ten Imperial Examinations
Xiangyang Selection Hall is located in Luli near the east side of Taifu. It was originally a magnificent temple and was later requisitioned by Taifu to teach and select candidates.
The development of cities in the Southern Dynasties was ahead of that in the Northern Dynasties. Most areas with different functions, such as residential areas, trade areas, and public service areas, had appeared, but the planning was relatively chaotic, making the entire city appear disorganized.
The biggest function of the formation of towns in the north is to meet military needs. When the city people or citizens see the documents, they simply refer to soldiers. Therefore, the towns in the north are often divided into strict areas, and they appear to be well-organized.
Li Tai's previous proposal to relocate Xiangyang City was not without purpose, because the city planning of Xiangyang City was quite unreasonable, and the various messy areas could not meet the military requirements of rapid dispatch and distribution of personnel and materials in the city.
The same problem also exists in Jiangling City, so when Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Dynasty was attacked in Jiangling, he had to set up a long fence of dozens of miles outside the city as a defense, as if the city wall could not play the role of city defense at all. As for whether the same is true for Jiankang City In this case, it's hard to tell if Li Tai hasn't seen it with his own eyes, but presumably there won't be much difference.
In a city like this that lacks an overall plan, it is naturally very difficult to add new functional areas based on the original ones. The government offices and private residences are scattered in a mixed manner, and if you want to organize them, you will face various problems. Personnel disputes.
Therefore, if Li Tai really plans to stay in Xiangyang for a long time, according to his personality and habits, he is unlikely to really rebuild Xiangyang City. The current messy city layout really does not conform to his aesthetics.
However, although the planning of the southern cities is messy, they still have one thing in common, that is, there are many temples, and most of them occupy a large area. For Li Tai, this is equivalent to a reserve that can be requisitioned at any time when needed. The land was directly requisitioned for these temples, which saved a lot of trouble of demolition and construction.
Selection is also a new concept proposed by the Taiwanese government this year. It means that those who have been recommended by the state and county, submitted an ultimatum to self-recommendation, or recruited by the Taiwanese government, and passed the recruitment examination held by the Taiwanese government, have obtained the qualifications for election by the Taiwanese government. Talent.
These people learn a series of government affairs regulations and official skills such as the regulations and formats of the Taiwan government in the selection committee. Only after they are familiar with various order formats and government affairs procedures and pass the selection can they be selected and appointed officials by the Taiwan government. It belongs to the Taiwan government's talent pool and official selection center.
After Li Tai came to Xiangyang, with the establishment of the Selection Institute, he would spend a certain amount of time every month to come to the Selection Institute and teach several courses in person.
These candidates are no longer just simple scholars. They will often take up their respective positions in the near future and participate in handling various military and political affairs of the Taiwan government. Of course, it is also necessary to understand the behavior style of Li Tai, the boss of the Taiwan government.
Needless to say, Li Tai's popularity is very high. Whenever he gives a lecture in the selection hall, it is the most lively moment in the selection hall. There are many candidates gathered inside and outside the classroom, whether they can hear Li Tai or not. I also listened attentively to the content of Tai's lecture.
Including the lecturers and doctors in the selection institute, they all rushed to the classroom as soon as they learned about Li Tai's itinerary to grab a good seat so that they could listen to the teachings and record the lectures.
Li Tai is not just trying to satisfy his curiosity by experiencing these admirers. The content of his lectures rarely involves too mysterious fields. They are usually more specific administrative management contents such as talent selection, recruitment, warehouse management, etc.
, some are summaries of his own experience in various affairs after he came to this world, and some are from some administrative management experiences of later generations.
In terms of their relationship with each other, Liu Ang, Wei Guan and other juniors, since they have come to Xiangyang, it is very normal for them to arrange a position to become an official. Even if they do not arrange some dramas to be Cao Si, they will be arranged to serve as former disciples.
The position of a trusted attendant in the tent is also available.
However, now that there is a special training institution, Li Tai directly arranges a special test for them. After passing, they will enter the Selection Institute for training and study. This autumn, they will also participate in the selection before being awarded officers.
This is not to show that he is impartial and selfless, and treats everyone equally. As long as he is an individual, he will inevitably be treated differently. It is just that now is the establishment period of the selection system. If he still opens any door of convenience at will, there is no doubt that he will be treated differently.
It will greatly reduce the solemnity of the system.
When later generations talk about the employment system of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, concepts and impressions such as clan politics and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system often come to mind. This idea is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive enough. At least in terms of system construction, the inspection and promotion system
And official education actually existed in both the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
For example, if you are a scholar, you don't know how to read, you are a filial and honest person, your father lives away from home, don't care about the quality of the talents selected, at least the system is being implemented.
In the Northern Dynasties, as long as the imperial princes were selected as students, they would have a certain rank and could be directly transferred to other official positions. In the Southern Dynasty, the name "Ming Jing" was added, and all official students must pass
Only after taking the Ming Jing exam can one be awarded an official position. The Ming Jing exam is equivalent to the graduation exam for completing one's studies.
Looking at it this way, there is no doubt that the education and official selection system in the Southern Dynasties must be more reasonable and scientific. If there is no assessment, who knows what you have learned? But from the actual implementation effect, it can only be
Yes hey hey hey.
Although the Southern Dynasties Ming Dynasty’s selection of scholars was in name only and had little effect, as long as it existed, it would be a reference for those who came after. The selection examination formulated by Li Tai in the Selection Council was similar to the Southern Dynasty Guoxue Ming Dynasty.
After passing the examination, he was also named "Jinshi" by Li Tai. If he passed the examination, he could become an official.
Of course, the actual imperial examination and Jinshi subjects are different from this. Li Tai just wanted to instill such a concept and pave the way for the implementation of the subsequent system.
The emergence of the imperial examination is a process of system improvement, rather than a concept with a clear time and sign. Many people are full of excitement when they talk about Emperor Sui Yang’s creation of the imperial examination to break the monopoly of the clans. But what is the form of the imperial examination created by Emperor Sui Yang and how to break it?
Monopoly, but it may not be clear.
From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, the names of the Ming Classics of the Southern Dynasties were absorbed, and there began to be records of "taking the Ming Classics to become officials". At the same time, candidates for the scholar examination were also frequently admitted, but the scale of the examination was very strict. However, this period still belonged to the imperial examination. The category of the system, because the categories of candidates during this period were only official schools, county schools and state and county tribute scholars, there was no significant difference from the previous generation.
During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he issued an edict on "Ten Examinations", ordering officials of fifth rank and above to recommend talents according to the standards of ten subjects. The so-called ten subjects are "filial piety, good moral conduct, integrity, clean conduct, and perseverance." "Integrity, perseverance in the constitution, excellent academic acumen, beautiful literary talent, capable of general strategy, and strong arms." If you have this, you don't need to prepare for it, wait for it, and be promoted according to your talent.
In this way, both the scope of rural tribute scholars and the criteria for selecting and conferring talents have been greatly relaxed. At the same time, in addition to the regular examination subjects such as Ming Jing and Xiucai, Jinshi subjects have also officially appeared, and the way to select talents has been further improved. Added. Jinshi subjects need to consider current affairs. Current affairs are the important things happening at the moment. In this way, the criteria for selecting scholars have become more flexible and pragmatic.
With the development and innovation of these methods of selecting scholars, during the Wude period of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, the scope of participation in the examination was further expanded. It was no longer limited to officials, schools, rural tribute and other candidates, but all talented scholars could also be self-selected. From this, the imperial examination as a talent selection system was initially formed.
It takes a process for people to understand and accept new things, and they often lack the ability to imagine people and things beyond their knowledge. As a more dynamic method of selecting scholars, the imperial examination may not be of great significance in terms of superficial form. However, the core strength of penetrating the upper and lower classes takes time to gather.
Xiangyang City not only has the Academy of Selections, but there was also a state school when Liang Wang Xiaoqi was there. After Taifu moved to the town, the Rangcheng government school also moved here. But when it comes to the one closest to the official career, there is no doubt that a test will start. Then you can enter the academy of selection for scholars.
Therefore, the Selective Council has become the first choice for the Shiliu who are aspiring to become officials and hope to join the rule of the Tai government. In addition, the Xiangyang Shiliu had previously fought for marriage with meritorious officials from the Tai government. In order to repay their favor, Li Tai also issued many candidates to them. qualifications.
Nowadays, the Selection Institute is also overcrowded. There are thousands of candidates in the academy, and there are many people with low talents among them.
The Taiwan government's response to this is to divide these students into self-financed and public-funded students. Those who ranked first in the previous examinations and mid-month examinations of the college can receive special subsidies from the Taiwan government, which can guarantee the consumption of food, clothing and study, and even make some money. There is a surplus. But most other students need to pay their own expenses, and the amount of payment is not low.
At the same time, Li Tai stipulated that the standards for selecting scholars in the Selected Academy should be followed in a lenient and strict exit model. All wealthy and powerful families in the country could send their children to the Selected Academy for training and learning if they wanted to. However, when selecting scholars in Taiwan, But the standards will never be relaxed. If they are willing, and their family's financial resources allow, these people can be reserve officials in the Selection House for a lifetime!
Sorry, sorry, it's even later. This chapter is a bit boring. It writes about the predecessor and origin of the imperial examination. The imperial examination is also an important institutional progress from chaos to rule. Let's sort out the context first, improve the background, and try to integrate it into the plot later. ...
